Restore my iPod Touch 5th Generation to factory settings My iPod Touch is 5th generation. I just want to retore it to factory settings to store audible books. I bought it at least 10m years ago and at an ancient age I cannot recall the sign in details. I do not expect Apple cares but I do!

Apple iPod Nano Touch 7. Generation restore factory settings under OS12 I have one of those and want to pass it on but cannot find how to reset it to factory settings. All the instructions I find are using iTunes, but the newer OS’ all have the Music application on them. I did not find a version of iTunes that runs on my OS (12.6.1) so I am lost. I also read the online version of the manual, and this too talks about needing iTunes. Any suggestions how to do this?

reset click wheel iPod A-1059 I am selling my Gen 4 iPod "Clickwheel" model A1059. I was able to Re-set the iPod from its own Settings menu. I thought this felt incomplete so I plugged it into an old MacBook Pro and launched iTunes. The iPod appears in the iTunes window showing 6GB of audio files but when I chose "Summary" it will not restore..... I get a message to the effect it can't contact the download center (wifi is working ok). In addition to the old laptop I have a new M1 as well. How can I reset/erase the old iPod, using either the old iTunes or the brand new laptop? Thank you.
