I have an ipod I am selling because I bought a new one. My new one is
synched up to my iTunes. Before I sell the old one, how do I erase it
and reset it as if it was new? I don't want my iTunes copied to my old
iPod - I want it wiped clean.

Thanks.

You can reformat it like any hard drive, with Disk Utility.

OTOH, the various iPod firmware update utilities can also reset it, I think.

am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of
prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have
a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I
give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but
have not love, I gain nothing."
