If you bought the iPod touch from somebody and then you locked yourself out of it what should I do because the guy didn't give me his iTunes password?

Sounds like the Activation Lock (iOS 7) is working as designed. It determs theft since y have to know the APple ID's passward to use/restore the iPod foro use. Unless you can get the password you have a nice but thin brick. Likely the iPod was stolen

Do as the manual says and restore it.
If you are unable to restore the type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting articles. -
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?
Have you seen this article yet?

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

- 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 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 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:

Hi everyone,
I have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last for more then two hour.
what should i do? it is seriously big problem.
Please help me.......This is a general comment, not directed to anyone, and not to be taken personally by anyone. This ongoing screw up with the new upgrade (5.0.1) is getting to be a **** SHAME. In no way can APPLE or anyone else for that matter not know by now that the upgrade is terribly flawed. The Ipod machines themselves are super great products, and I enjoy mine to the max. However the upgrade once applied ruins it. And at least, not to my current knowledge, there haven't been any fixes forcoming.
In my opinion Apple should own up to that fact and warn folks that, even though the upgrade was presented with the best intentions, IT JUST AIN"T WORKING. And not to download it until further notice. This noticication could be done through the retail sales outlet, online, what ever.
I liken this to a pharmaceutical coming out with a new vaccine, encourage everyone to use it, then discover it's bad to the degree it causes it uses to become sick. Rather then pull the vaccine they keep on allowing unsuspecting ones to continue to vaccinate, and become sick. What a shame!

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. -
Hi,
I've got an iPod touch from USA. One of my cousins has got them for me. It worked fine for couple of months but now suddenly it stopped switching on. I am not sure if it has International warranty or not. What are my options now?
Thanks and regards,
Pradeep DAs I responded in your other thread:
iOS devices' warranties are valid only in the country of purchase. Any repair or replacement under the warranty would require that you ship the device back to your cousin in the US. -
It's very annoying.
It specifically told me that ios6 would give me Siri, but it didn't.
Actually, it did not specifically say it was coming to the 4th gen Touch.
From the page about Siri, http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/features/ it states at the bottom of the page:
Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd generation), and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. -
