I've been doing some spring cleaning of my home office, and have decided to sell my iPod touch 2G. Taking this thing out of the case, I still marvel at how thin this device is. Really a beauty. Anyways, I'm going to wipe out everything and restore the iPod touch 2G, and I thought I share the process.
- Ok. I connected the touch to the computer, and have iTunes opened.
- Ok, Apple is offering me the software update for 3.0. Not interested because I'm going to sell this shiny gadget, so pressed "Remind Me Later".
- Alright, so on the Summary tab, there's a Restore button. Let's press that. It's going to ask you if you really want to restore. Yes!
- Ok, it's... Extracting software... Prepare iPod for restore... Verify iPod software... wait wait wait...
- Looks like it's going to take a few minutes, go get some coffee.
- Alright, looks like we're done. And its showing me that software update screen. Apparently they really want you to get this update. Pressed "Remind Me Later" to skip it.
- From there, you have the chance to Set up as a new iPod or Restore from your previous backup.
- I'm not planning to do either, so I am going to just unplug the touch now.
Now I just got to find my box, instructions, and the stuff it came with. Hope you found this useful. Thanks for reading!

I know it's too late for you, but in case anyone else stops by they might want to know that even though you have done this, if they use the ipod to get an app, it will have your e-mail address and ask for the password. So depending on how elaborate your pass is, and how persistent they are.....
