Is your account listed in Settings>iCloud? If not y ohave to first delete the iCloud account from the iPod by going to the bottom of the screen. You have to enter the password for the listed ID. That is part of the Activation Lock
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
Withou that or without getting the previous owner to remove the device from their account
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
The iPod is not usable to you. If you can get either of the above two thnks done. restore the iPPod via iTunes and set it up with your account

  • I have just got a iPod 5 gen 32gb and lightning adapter but can't get it to work with my docking station it will charge but not play audio please help??

    I have bought a 5th gen iPod and lightning adapter but it won't wrk on my docking station it charges but doesn't play audio? Please help

    Does the dock manufacture say it is compatible with the 5G iPod with iOS 6.0.1?
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site? Contacted them?
    Try resetting the dock. How you do that depends upon the dock
    Sometimes this works
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I just  bought an ipod touch 5th gen but i cant download apps. The icon appears but then it goes away. What do I do?

    k

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

  • Hey, I just bought an ipod touch 5th generation, but my lightning usb is not working anymore.

    It didn't got wet, neither is phisicaly damaged... the problem is i'm not from the US (where I bought it) so I can't use the warranty.

    Is it? okay well today I went to my capital city where there is an Apple Store, and they said the warranty is not international! I'm from Ecuador btw.
    I don't know what to do since no one I know is traveling to the US in the near future.

  • I am using iPod Touch 5th gen and my location services doesn't work.

    When I'm in other places with wi-fi, the location services work perfectly; when I'm home, it doesn't work. What should I do?
    Some forum says I need to register my point of connection using my ISP. Please tell me how to do it.

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
    Get somebody to come over with an iPhone and use your wifi network

  • I'm moderately competent, but can't get exchange to work with the 2 upgrade

    My original iPod touch synced perfectly with my Outlook 2003 at work, both contacts and calendar until I updated to 2.0 to enable downloading applications. Now I get the "OutlookSyncClient.exe has encountered an error and must close." Error. I have tried all fixes and will have to move on, unfortunately, unless there’s a fix out there.
    This is a corporate email/calendar and I can’t change every entry. It also involves Microsoft exchange, so I’m not sure how the .pst file is involved. Nevertheless. I have tried all the fixes that I can and nothing works. This device has been worthless for the last six months. Clearly something is wrong. I have tried many different computers networked to my account to try and diagnose this. Nothing works.
    Any ideas? Anyone?

    Hello, sorry to see you are running into this today. Below are some suggestions.
    Have you tried uninstalling the following Apple Applications in the following order? After you have done that check out the following directory below.
    1. Uninstall the following Apple Software in the following order to help reduce reboots
    -Apple Mobile Device Support
    -Apple Software Update
    -Bonjour
    -Windows iPod Updater (Name might be different but look for anything with the word iPod)
    -MobileME Control Panel
    -Quicktime
    -iTunes
    *Now reboot the computer
    *Once PC is back up and running, then go ahead and go to C:/Program Files/Common Files
    In this folder if you see an Apple folder. Delete this folder. Reboot one last time. Then download and install latest iTunes

    *Post back as needed.

  • Installed latest version but can't get it to work with you tube videos

    I installed the latest version of Flashpayer for Windows XP but when I go to Youtube and try to play videos Youtube doesn't recognize that it is installed
    What am I doing wrong or how do I fix the problem? Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem, when I try to see a youtube video, it says "you need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video". When I click on "download it now", Adobe says I already have it installed.
    I too have Windows XP and using Windows Internet Explorer 8 browser.

  • HT4356 I was gifted a new Samsung wireless printer model ML-2165W, it works with my desk top and lap top but can't get it to work with IPad.  Did I just receive a "boat anchor" printer in the eyes of Apple?

    I was recently gifted a new Samsung wireless printer Model # ML-2165W and while it works fine with all my computers, I can't make it print from my IPAD.  Was I given a "boat anchor" in the eyes of Apple?

    It looks like your printer isn't on the list of air print enabled printers. It'll still work, you just need to do some tweaking.
    You can see if samsung has any apps to enable printing.
    or
    You can look into a third party app like Print n Share or Print Central.
    Then you can print from your iPad.

  • Buying used iPod Touch 5th Gen?

    Hello Apple Forum Users,
    I've seen A LOT of people purchasing a used iPod Touch 5th Gen and got screwed over because of some security protection and there's no way around it. I've been wanting to upgrade from the 4th Gen, but have been worry about.
    What's the deal?

    The deal is called Find My iPhone, it is a lock that permits ONLY the owner of a device to unlock or reset it. If a device gets stolen, this enables the owner to lock or track it.
    If a device is legitimately sold, the original owner MUST deactivate Find My iPhone before passing it to the new buyer. You, as the buyer, must ensure that this has been done. Do not buy a device where you have no hope of a refund if you find the lock has not been reset - i.e., don't buy from a stranger off the street, from Craigslist, or any other method where you cannot physically check the device before you buy it, or if you cannot get a refund.

    Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, itunes 10.7.0.21, ipod 5th gen ios 8.3. I know I am not running the latest version of itunes for the
    ipod touch 5 gen. but at least with itunes open I would get a message stating cannot connect this ipod because I am not running the
    lastest version of itunes. That message would come up everytime I was charging said ipod with itunes open. I just updated to iso 8.3
    and now I don't get that message anymore when I have itunes open.I tried turning off ipod/computer/restarting, nothing. I tried going
    to administrator/services/apple moble device and stop/start service nothing. Device manager shows the drivers are installed.

  • I bought a magazine on one ipad, but can't get it to show up on my daughter's ipad?

    I bought a magazine on one ipad, but can't get it to show up on my daughter's ipad?

    On the iPad you bought is running on iOS 5.o , 5.1 or 5.1.1
    if both of the iPads are on 5.x.x then try using the same id on both iPads and go in setting on your daughters iPad then scroll down to app store
    tap it
    sign out the other id and put the same id as yours in the feild and turn on the apps download and books download also try staying near wifi (both the iPADS)
    then delete your magazine on the iPad you just downloaded and try downloading it again so icloud can transfer it to the other iPad as the accounts will be same and the music app and book store will be enabled.....for some further assisstance reply

  • Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for GarageBand. I downloaded a trial version of reMIDI, which enables MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated, but can't get it to work in Garageband.  How do I set it up?

    Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for Garageband ('08)? The program allows MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated. I have a trial version, but can't get it to work in Garageband. Wonder how to set it up.

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.
