RESTORE YOUR iPOD
After you erase your iPod, you need to run the Restore function from the iPod 
Updater program.

01) Connect iPod to your computer using the FireWire/USB cable that came your 
iPod.
02) Quit iTunes.
03) Download the newest version of the iPod Updater application. You can get 
it from Apple's website at http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/.
04) Install and open the application iPod Updater.
05) Click Restore.
06) You may need to type in an Admin user's name and password. An alert box 
appears to confirm you want to restore iPod. Say yes.
07) When the factory settings have been restored, unplug the FireWire/USB 
cable from iPod.
08) When prompted by the iPod, reconnect the FireWire/USB cable. After iPod 
has turned on, and you see the message "Do not disconnect" iTunes 
automatically opens. Note: For iPod Software 1.0 through 1.1, when iPod is in 
FireWire Disk Mode a FireWire logo appears on the screen instead of the "Do 
not disconnect" message.
09) If prompted, type a name for iPod in the space provided.
10) The "Automatically update my iPod" option is selected by default. Deselect 
this option if you wish and click Done. The iTunes main window appears, and 
the download status is displayed in the iTunes display.
11) Wait until the iTunes display says the update is complete.
12) Quit iTunes.
13) Disconnect the FireWire/USB cable from iPod. After a few moments, the 
Language display appears on the iPod screen.
14) Select a language. If you screw this step up, click here.
15) Quit the iPod Software Updater application.
