I bought a used iPod Touch and am trying to reset password and sync with my iTunes. Can't figure out either-any advice?
Not sure how to fix eithe rof these conditions. I bought this on Ebay and it works fine and I was able to synch on a different computer.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?
See this previous discussion.

I am new to Mac. I own an iphone and an ipad but have always used a PC for my business use. I bought a used Powerbook G4 and all is well EXCEPT I cannot get a program to download from a CD. I think it's an easy fix so HELP!
A few questions ....
What is the program you are trying to download? It is a mac version?
Is this a vendor's CD or a copy or ?
What error message or other indication do you get that says the download won't happen? -
I am trying to set up my daughters ipod touch after resetting it to factory settings. So I am trying to sign in using an apple id. It says won't connect to the servier, but I have other wireless devices connected, so I know my wi fi is working. What now? Thanks
Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

Her bday is now next week and I got it out to put a cool wallpaper in it and charge it up. Turns out the previous owner has now turned the find my phone app on , so I can't do anything with it now? is it possible to factory reset it? I feel like I got screwed big time:( i hope someone has an idea foe me cause i am totally illiterate when it comes to technology.

I bought a used Ipod touch and did a erase on it both settings, music etc.
I did an erase on my ipod touch when i first got it. Before i did it the ipod was in full working order. I understood i had to wait 2 hours for the process to be done so i plugged it in while it was formating. Well after the status bar disappeared the apple in the middle of the screen was there and is still there. Ive tried to reset the ipod and all it does is go back to the apple screen. Please help me i dont know what to do.
Probably not.
By the way, this is a user-to-user forum. No one from Apple is here. If you want to find out what you can really do you should visit an Apple store or contact Apple support. -
Please help i bought a new ipod touch and synced it to my itunes account so i had both ipod touch's on it and now i have an error flashing at me and i don't know what to do??
== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad. -
I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.
Hi there,
This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone. How do I get the icons back and start over?
If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" This iPod is currently linked to an Apple ID (c*****@k*****.net). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod. The man who sold it to me said he bought it from another guy and sold it to me..So, I don't know what to do! I searched it up and it said you could go to iCloud and iTunes, but It's not working for me. Please help!!

you have a thin brick. I suspect your iPod was stolen or lost. I would turn it into the police since it is worthless to you if you can't get the previous owner to remove from their account -

- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Try on another computer
- Try another cable
- Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Try connecting the device to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

I bought a used ipod touch that had 2200 bad songs. Unfortunately I decided to delete them before I started purchasing music. EVERYTHING was deleted. The screen is blank except for the itunes emblem. Help!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. -
I bought a used ipod touch 5th gen and it's still connected to the old users apple id. what do I do?
So, I bought a used ipod yesterday and, while trying to set it up, it asked me for the old user's apple id and password. i don't have that1 What do i do?!
Hi ZoeKeller,
If the iPod Touch is running iOS7, it sounds like Activation Lock may be active. You may find the following article helpful:
