I hope you bought this from a store, you can return it and get your money back. BUT if you bought from a person off the street or off the net, someone you don't know... I'm thinking you just got screwed! And are out the money and have an expensive paper weight. I hope I'm wrong, but I think you have a stolen iPod. If you can find the person that sold it to you return it and get your money back, but I'm thinking they are long gone. If you can not find the person report it to the police and turn it over. Sorry and Good luck.

HOw can i delete the apple ID that came on a iphone 5s that was purchased 3rd hand and given as a gift to me... Thank you very much for your time and assistance in this mAtter..
You can’t, and Apple won’t do it for you; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure. Try getting a refund for it.

ok so my ipod touch is saying theres no music on it but when i plug it up and get on itunes it says theres music on it but its still not showing up on my ipod. help anyonee??
Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to unsync the music and then try syncing the songs to the iPod
- Last would be to restore from backup. -

How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an icloud email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud.can any one help me about this.
It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure. -
Hello I put my password in and get to go around my account but when I try to get an app for my iPad it won't let me?
Tap the screen outside the app. Still there, double click the home button and swipe the app store preview up to close it. If it's still there, reset time.

i just bought my ipod touch 32mg, i cannt get it to start up. when i get to the screen connect to itunes it wont let me go to any other screen to finish setting it up.
You need to use a laptop or a PC. Download and install iTunes. Create an iTunes account and then use the USB cable to connect your iPod to your computer.
Depending on the amount of charge in the battery it may take a few minutes for iTunes and your computer to recognize the iPod.
When iTunes detects your iPod you can give it a name and set up how and what you want iTunes to synch to the iPod.
While you're on line, connecte to the App Store and download the owners manual for your iPod... -
I don't know who the previous owner is or how to contact them because I can't see their email address. I spent $200 and just want my phone to work. Is there any way apple can help?
Your phone is "activation locked". It cannot be used unless this lock is removed by the previous owner of the iPhone. If the seller can't help you then ask for a refund of your money.
Apple won't help you. Note that the iPhone you bought may well be stolen property.. -
Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?
Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
You bought a device that can never function so get your money back. -
my ipod touch is saying pug in to itunes but when i pug it into my computer to pug into itunes it still wont come on it just has the apple on the screen what do i do
Hi Jess.
My ipod wont even come up in itunes to restore it!
Make sure the battery is charged before trying to restore.
Place the iPod in recovery mode...
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Note: "If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
