I bought an used ipod touch gen 4 but I can't check the warranty status of my device. Could anyone help me please!
I did use the serial number of my ipod to check on Apple website but there is no result for my ipod. They required me to provide the purchase date, which I don't know because my ipod is a 2nd hand device. I tried to reset my ipod and activate it again but it doesn't work and itunes gives me an error message.
How could I check my warranty status and the purchase date?
You can try contacting Apple:
Apple - Support - iPod touch - Contact Us
Maybe we can help you with the problem. What is the wording of the error message you are getting? The following lists the common errors and their resolution.

So i bought a 4th gen 32gb ipod touch off of craigslist. It had never been opened. It still had the seals on it. I opened it, but never connected it to itunes. I didn't use it because it dawned on me that this ipod might be stolen. I have the serial number, so is there a way to contact apple and see if this ipod has been reported stolen? If it has, I will turn it into the police, because i do not want to be in possession of stolen goods.
ThanksI would suggest you to call Apple.
I am not sure if you can find such an information on line.
You can for sure check if the device was registered just going here http://www.apple.com/it/support/contact/
This is the link in Italian. try to put us instead of it between com/ and /support to get US. and try to register it.
But I believe if it is still in its package it will probably not jet regiostered.
Try google: there is probably a page were pepople put stolen devices. -

Follow these five steps to set up Firefox Home and get access to your desktop Firefox history, bookmarks and even your open tabs on your iPhone:
1.
Install the free Firefox Sync add-on on your desktop.
Firefox Home uses the sync capabilities from the Firefox Sync add-on to access your Firefox browser information and securely send it to your iPhone.
2.
Once Firefox restarts, follow the prompts to create an account with both a password and a Secret Phrase.
Firefox Home uses your Secret Phrase to locally encrypt and protect your information.
3.
Firefox Sync will now begin securely synchronizing your data with our service. This initial synchronization may take up to 20 minutes.
Firefox Sync will only work if you are not in Private Browsing mode. Once your initial synchronization is complete, you'll see a Last Update time in the Tools > Sync menu.
4.
To complete the setup, on your iPhone enter your account, password and Secret Phrase in the field provided and tap 'Done' on the keypad.
If you're having trouble logging in, click here for help.
5.
Once complete you will be able to access your desktop bookmarks, history, and open tabs on your iPhone.
If your data is not showing up, click here for help.Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

We bought a used Ipod Touch from a private party. We can download music when it's hooked up to the computer but can't download any games or songs by using the wifi. How can we change the password so we can do this?
You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.

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 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!!
A little more information:

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 -

- Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.

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.

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. -

It is up to you. It depends what you want to use the iPod for.
