My kid locked my new ipod before I could hook it up to my computer. How do i reset it?

My kid lock my new ipod touch with a code he put in. I havent even connected to my computer yet. how do I reset the whole thing?

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.

Can I setup apps on a new iPod before I give it to someone?

I want to preload some paid apps on a gift iPod before I give it to the recipient.
Can I do that with my Apple ID and still transfer the iPod to them to claim as their iPod in iTunes, or do I need to have access to their Apple ID to do that?
If I have access to their AppleID (it's my elderly Mom), can I set it up with my active iTunes program, or do I need to go to a different computer to do that?
Thank you everyone.

No. Downloads / Purchases from the iTunes and App Stores are forever tied to the Apple Id that bought/downloaded them. Apps will then always require that Apple Id to update. And can never be transferred to another ID.
You should never want to do this.
If you want them to have some specific Apps, you can Gift them to the recipients Apple ID if they have one.
Send iTunes Gifts - Apple Support
Scroll down to the section titled: Gift an item on an iOS device
You should also not need to go through iTunes for the setup. Just follow the onscreen prompts on the iPod touch.

Update new iPod before connecting?

Hi folks. I just got a replacement unit (20GB click wheel) due to drive failure. I have installed the latest iPod Updater and the newest version of iTunes on my iMac.
When I connect my new iPod for the very first time, should I run the iPod Updater or will this be done automatically at the set up process??

no need to do it
if it needs to be updated, it will tell you and take you thru the process

I have a new ipod and need to sync with my current itunes. How do I do that?

I purchased a new ipod Nano because my old was having issues. Now I cannot figure out how to get my itunes account to sync with the new ipod nano. How do you sync an old account to a new nano?

The exact same way you set up and synced the old iPod.
