Return iPod touch settings to their defaults
You can return settings to their defaults without erasing your content.
If you want to save your settings, back up iPod touch before returning them to their defaults. For example, if you’re trying to solve a problem but returning settings to their defaults doesn’t help, you might want to restore your previous settings from a backup.
Go to Settings
> General > Transfer or Reset iPod touch > Reset.
Choose an option:
WARNING: If you choose the Erase All Content and Settings option, all of your content is removed. See Erase iPod touch.
Reset All Settings: All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, the Home Screen layout, location settings, and privacy settings—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.
Reset Network Settings: All network settings are removed. In addition, the device name assigned in Settings > General > About is reset to “iPod touch,” and manually trusted certificates (such as for websites) are changed to untrusted.
When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.
To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. See Install or remove configuration profiles on iPod touch in this guide.
To remove network settings installed by MDM, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the management, then tap Remove Management. This also removes other settings and certificates provided by MDM. See “Mobile device management (MDM)” in the iOS Deployment Reference.
Reset Keyboard Dictionary: You add words to the keyboard dictionary by rejecting words iPod touch suggests as you type. Resetting the keyboard dictionary erases only the words you’ve added.
Reset Home Screen Layout: Returns the built-in apps to their original layout on the Home Screen.
Reset Location & Privacy: Resets the location services and privacy settings to their defaults.
If you want to completely erase your iPod touch, see Wipe all content and settings from iPod touch. If you want or need to use a computer to erase your iPod touch, see Use a computer to wipe all content and settings from iPod touch.
