If you have jailbroken your iPod for any reason, and having problems and/or have to take it to the Genius bar, you will have to UN-Jailbreak it otherwise the staff will not fix the issues, since jailbreaking your iDevice voids its warranty.

Part 1 - Back up:

  1. Plug your iPod to your computer with the USB cable provided with your iPod.
  2. iTunes should open automatically. If not, open it manually.
  3. On the left pane, locate your iPod. (It should be under "Devices").
  4. If you are on Windows, right click it. If you are on a Mac, click and hold it until the context menu appears. Click "Backup" in the context menu.
  5. Wait until iTunes finishes backing up.

(This part of the process can be skipped if you do not want to keep your old content, but it is recommended, in case if anything goes wrong.)

Part 2 - Unjailbreak by Restore:

This part is required to unjailbreak your iPod. Do not skip it.

To unjailbreak, you will have to restore your iPod.

  1. Open iTunes and, plug your iPod into the computer.
  2. When iTunes detects your iPod, a new page should show up with different options. If not, go to the pane on the left, and select your iPod (shown under "Devices").
  3. By default, it should be on the "Summary" tab, if not slect it from the top of the page.
  4. Click the "Restore" button.
  5. Wait until it is restored and rebooted.

Please note that this will completely erase your iPod

If this fails, follow these instructions.

You will have to put your iPod into Restore mode.

  1. Hold the Home button and Sleep/Wake button for 10 seconds.
  2. Let go of the Sleep/Wake button and continue holding the Home button for 30 seconds.
  3. A message will appear in iTunes saying that your iPod needs to be restored. Click Restore.

Part 3 - Restore content :

(You do not need to do this step if you skipped step 1)

After the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.

If you do not want to put your old content onto your iPod, set it up as a new iPod.

If you do want your old content, select Restore from iTunes backup when asked.

Congratulations! You have successfully unjailbroken your iPod.

If you ran into problems, please consult instructions online.

I jailbroke my ipod and it won't be recognized by my computer so how do I unjailbreak it now?

Un-jailbreaking your iPod Touch means that iTunes must recognize your iPod. Without the recognition, you cannot Restore the iPod (Restoring it 'un-jailbreaks' it). Your warranty is void since you made an unauthorized modification to the iPod (jailbreaking it voids the warranty). The best you can do to 'un-jailbreak' it is to take it to an Apple Genius to have it restored from there.
