HT4865 i bought a ipod touch from a friend on the street and i cant even use it
is there a way i can get passed the activation lock
Yes, get your "friend on the street" to remove the Activation Lock by entering their AppleID password, or by going to the iCloud website and removing the device from their account.
The Activation Lock is a security feature and cannot be bypassed - if it could be bypassed it would be a useless security feature.

I bought an ipod touch from my friend and i dont know the passcode
I bought an ipod touch 4 from my friend. I do not know the passcode. I tried to plug it in to my computer to reset but he synced it with a different compuer When i Plugged it in and went to itunes it says Couldnt connect ipod because it has a passcode. PLEASE HELP
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I bought my ipod touch from usa...and the wifi does not connect.does it have something to do with that its not from india?
So you have tried connecting to open network that do not require a password and it was still unable to connect? If that is the case.
Does Wifi appear grayed out on your iPod via Settings -> Wi-fi?

I bought an ipod touch from someone on craigslist, but he never gave his password to me, and I can't get back into contact with him, so I can't connect it to itunes to restore it, he had the box for the device, so he was legit, so what do I do?
Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer. For recovery mode see:

I recently bought an iPod Touch from the US, when I was living there. I am now in India, and my iPod seems to be frozen -- the slider won't slide. So far, I've updated my iTunes and reset and restored the Touch. The problem with the simple solution: there's no Genius bar in India.
Any idea what I can do?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
