Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to completely reset an iPod nano? As in, I want to erase all the songs and files and everything I have on it.
Is there anyway to do this with out completely emptying iTunes?

You don't have to empty out your iTunes to clear all the songs on your iPod. All you have to do is adjust your file transfer settings to "manual update" not "auto syncing".

Quote:
To set up your iPod so that you can manually add and delete songs:

1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes
2. Select your iPod in the iTunes Source list
3. Click the iPod Options button in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window
4. In the iPod preferences window, select the Manually manage songs and playlists option and then click OK

To manually add songs to your iPod:

1. Drag the individual songs or playlists from the iTunes window to the iPod icon in the Source list
2. The iPod icon will flash red and the iTunes window will show Updating iPod while it is updating
3. When you are finished, click the Eject button next to the iPod in the iTunes source list

To manually remove songs from your iPod:

1. Select the iPod in the iTunes Source list
2. Open the iPod's contents in iTunes
3. Within iTunes, select the iPod’s song or album you wish to remove and then press the Delete key
4. iTunes will display a warning to make sure you want to do this - click on OK

(I'm too tired to personally type out all the steps so I hope this'll do the trick Very Happy)

I just did this a couple days ago.

In your iTunes, in your iPod screen, under the button that says "Check For Update", there's a button that says "Restore".

Click on that, and your iPod'll be completely reset (it'll clear your settings, too).
