I've JUST bought a 5th generation ipod touch...

and found out AFTER purchase that it is icloud locked. What should I do?? I feel like a complete idiot for not looking at the listing any better BEFORE bidding.

Sounds like you are running into

If yo can't get the seller to remove the iPod from their account then:
- Return for refund
- Turn into police since it is likely stolen or lost and is of no use to you except as a poor flashlight

  • I have just bought a 2nd generation iPod touch , it has been reset to factory settings and has no option to update it ? How do I do this ? Also it will not show up in my iTunes or my computer could someone please help??

    The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    To update to 4.2.1
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
      A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • I have just bought a 1st generation Ipod touch, can I use my Ipod shuffle accessories for this or do I need to buy ipod touch accessories?

    Can you use the same accessories from ipod shuffle to ipod touch?

    The headphones will work with the iPod Touch.  For charging and syncing yo will have to purchase a cable for the iPod Touch since one end of the cable has to have a 30-pin dock connector.  The Shuffle uses a different connecotr.

  • I just bought a 5th gen Ipod from someone and now it wont turn on/boot up

    I just bought a 5th gen Ipod from someone and restored it to factory setting I then uploaded my music to it and ejected it but may have unplugged it to soon. Now the ipod just keeps trying to turn on but doesn't and it won't respond to manual reset has anyone had this problem and what was done to fix it? thank you for your time I would really appriciate it.

    The 5th gen iPod "classic" was the first "video" iPod.  It's video capability is more limited, and supported video resolution is lower, typically only 320x240.  Even if the video is standard def (SD), and not HD, it is probably at least 640x480.
    Also, current iTunes Store video content (such as TV shows and movies) uses DRM (copy protection).  The 5th gen iPod was designed before the iTunes Store started selling video content (as it does now); I don't think it supports the DRM technology. 
    If you have video content that is not DRM'd and plays in iTunes (such as video podcasts), you may be able to use the convert command in iTunes.  Select the item on a list in iTunes.  From the iTunes menu bar
    File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
    That version may play on your iPod, so iTunes will sync it.

  • 5th generation Ipod Touch won't charge past 20%?

    I bought my 32 gb 5th generation Ipod Touch not more than 2 weeks ago at my local Walmart. Everything was working perfectly until today. All day, my ipod would charge until 20%.. run on this charge for approximately 10 minutes, and then die again. It does not continue charging after the 20% mark and I'm not quite sure how to verify that it does. I've tried using the charger with different usb ports/computers but still no luck. My ipod has been going through some pretty cold conditions temperature-wise the last few days.. does that have any affecton the battery maybe? Ahh, at this point I'm just frustrated.. hopefully someone knows how to fix this!

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • 5th Generation iPod Touch Syncing issues

    I recently receive a 5th Generation iPod Touch as a gift and I am having issues with it. I plugged the iPod into my Windows 7 PC with iTunes 11.4.0.18 and had issues from the start. First, my iPod would not even sync any media content from my library. So I messed around with the settings until the content was on my iPod. Once, it was on there I went to play a song that I had downloaded and it immediately skipped the song and kept going to the next available song , so I went back on to the forums to see that it could be a corruption on the backup and all you would have to do is restore your iPod and it would fix your issue. I did that got to the same step and a few songs played but most skipped. The album art is there for most of the songs not the music. I then went to iPod>On this iPod to find that every song I had just sync had an exclamation point error by the song. This is only happening on the On this iPod menu the music plays fine on the music menu without an issue. I am curious of what I am doing wrong here? I also read that it could be a much bigger problem in that I would have to delete all my music and re-install it. If that is the case I will deal with the iPod as is. It is not worth my time to spend hours trying to re-install 15+ GB on my PC again. 

    Verify that all play in iTunes on the computer.
    Then
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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:

  • My 5th generation iPod touch issues

    Hey,
    My 5th generation iPod touch is just over a year old. About a month ago I started realising that my battery wasn't lasting as long as it always had. I then realised it was getting really hot, and I have now noticed my front camera isn't working.
    I have seeked lots of advice, I began dimming the brightness right down, closing all apps that were not being used, using airplane mode when I could, but still the same problems.
    I then reset the iPod and then fully restored it but still no luck.
    I live in the Caribbean right now on yachts and so getting to an Apple store is impossible. Is it a hardware issue and in need of being replaced?
    If so how much is this going to cost me as it is now 2 months out of warranty?
    Thanks for any advice given

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for (USA prices) $99 for the 16 GB 5G and $149 for the ohter 5Gs. They do not fix yours.The following will allow you to select your country.

  • Just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. The IOS is currently 4.3.5 and when I try to update to the latest, the connection continually times out. Can you help?

    Hi All,
    First ever post on here but I feel that my options are slowly running out. I've just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. It was reset to factory settings meaning that that software was 4.3.5
    As soon as I plug it into iTunes it asks me to update to the latest version. I click for it to go ahead but the connection times out (error code 3259)
    I've been on the phone to apple for over an hour and we still couldn't resolve the issue. We tried disabling the firewall, uninstalling AVG, diabling pop up blockers, checking the LAN settings, disabling the router security and anything else we could think of.
    We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
    Has anyone got any ideas?

  • What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general>profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device.  Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
    However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

  • When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

    When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.
