The iPod Updater has two functions, update and restore.

Update

The update command downloads new software to an iPod. The update command may be disabled if the iPod does not need to be updated because it already has up-to-date software.

Restore

The restore command returns an iPod to "factory fresh" condition. It erases and reformats the iPod before downloading new software. WARNING: The restore command erases all of the music and other data currently on the iPod.
