I reset my ipod and now it says "this ipod is currently linked to an apple id. sign in with the apple id that was used to set up this ipod".

ok. my ipod touch 5th generation 32gb spontaneously showed me the plug to itunes simbol, so i did, and i had to reset it to factory mode. done. when i start to set it up, it asks me for an apple id used to set it up, the thing is, this apple id was created by my smaller brother at the apple store, and he does not remember the password, neither the apple id, or the security questions, or the data he gave the apple guy who was helping him. basically, i have no idea what this account is. all i know is he affirms the apple id is [email protected] thats al i got. so, is there a way to get trough this? can i go to an apple support center and get the ipod set up? is it useless now? please help me!

If he doesn't remember the password or the Security Questions, he will have to contact Apple Support to have the Security Questions reset so the password can be reset:

How will i activate my iphone?and keep on asking link to an apple id that was used to set up this iphone

how will i activate my iphone?and keep on asking link to an apple id that was used to set up this iphone

You need to enter the id, and the password, of the account that the phone is linked to.
Did you buy the phone new or used ? If you bought the phone used and it's still linked to the previous owner's account then you will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the phone from their account : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support.
If you bought the phone new and it's your account then enter the id and password that you were using in Settings > iCloud on it

i bought an iphone4s on a pawnshop but it wont let me use it it says This phone is currently linked to an apple id sign in with the apple

If it has iOS 7 installed Activation lock will prevent using until it is unlocked by the Apple ID of the previous user
or that ID is removed by the previous owner from the iPhone

Recovery the password and change the ID email address
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. See Changing your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You will have to find the person whose Apple ID is currently tied to the phone. Only they can remove the activation lock. If you are unable to find them or they won't remove the lock, then your phone is useless. Take it back to the vendor and get your money back if you can.

TS1538 I updated my ipod and now it says my ipod can't be activated because activation server cannot be reached. How do I get it back on track?

Hello,
Try reseting your device.
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
I just refreshed your post, so if this does not help you, it is now at the top of the list for a short while, other people should be able to try and help you.

HT1212 i changed my password to get into my ipod and now it says ipod is disabled connect to itunes i cant get pass that .... can you help me re boot my ipod?

i forgot my password to sign on my ipod and now it says ipod is disabled please connect to itunes. however, it wont letme pass that screen. how do i reboot this ipod?

Disabled
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.
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: How to back up
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

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- 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 purchased an iphone 4s few weeks back here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says that this iphone was lost and erased. sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. what do I do now???

I purchased an iPhone 4s few weeks ago here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says the this iPhone was lost and erased. Sign is with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. What do I do now? because I contacted the Owner but he's not willing to give me that ID. I mean it's really very annoying why do people are selling stolen phones? Please help me guys.

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time

Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time technical people and top managers promised that this issue will be resolve tomorrow and they will cal me. Nothing happend!! I can not even cancel my service not just to upgrade it. Completely locked.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Alex.

Cannot figure out what your talking about since it makes no sense.
If you are the account owner you can go to the My Verizon web portal http://www.verizonwireless.com
You must log in with your cell number and your my Verizon portal password. Not the account pin.
Once there you can change your plan and services. However repeated incorrect login attempts will lock you out of the site. It a fraud prevention measure.
1-800-922-0204 call support with your cell number and or account number and account pin and they can assist you.
If you don't have the information then there is nothing they can do.
If you can verify who you are they may be able to reset your account access. But only if you are the account owner.
Good Luck
