Ipod clearance

[Rosenicola]

Hi Guys

I would really like to know how to clear all the information from my Ipod, i.e pictures, songs and the rest of it.

I have tried through the disc that was provided and it doesn't give me the option.

I especially want rid of the pics as there are loads of my ex on it

HELP!!

Close itunes and fInd the itunes database file in your itunes folder (probably in My Documents\My Music\iTunes and is called something like itunesdatabase.dbx). Rename this by adding 'old' to the filename. DON'T DELETE IT.

Now when you open iTunes it won't be able to find your database or any of your files - don't let it search for anything. If you sync your ipod now, it will remove everything.

Close iTunes and rename the file back as it was (you might have to delete a duplicate that itunes created first) and all your music will re-appear next time you open itunes.

You can do it also by managing your ipod manually. You then click the boxes of the playlists you want on your ipod and leave the others unchecked. Then sync (syncronise) the i-pod (just means transfer/delete as you tell it to) this then gets rid of everything you dont want and leaves everything you do.

I'm female, sorry to be a huge pain :-)

With iTunes closed and your iPod plugged in, go into My Computer and find your iPod. Right-click its icon and choose 'format'. Make sure it's set for FAT32, and click format (untick 'quick format'). That should do it.

In the left hand pane where your playlists are listed - With your ipod plugged in it will say DEVICES and underneath the neame of your ipod.

Click on the little arrow to the left of the device name.Then click on manage music manually in the main window (which should show your ipods details) Click on the music tab at the top of the page and check/uncheck the boxes.
