how do i setup an ipod touch without the apple id the ipod is currently linked to?

You do not. You have to either enter the Apple ID and password or

HT1430 how do i factory reset my ipad without the having the login password

how do i factory reset my ipad without the having the login password

You force your iPad into Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes on the computer. If it asks for the unknown passcode place the iPod in recovery mode. For how see:

My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music.

My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music. Help. I no longer have a Mac. I want to keep the music and videos I purchased. Since it is an iPod classic (80GB) I cannot even use the iCloud. Is there a way to move my ipod's music so I can reformat it to my pc?

WIndows is asking you to reformat the iPod's hard disk because it's probably in the Mac OS X Extended Journaled file system format which the Windows OS can neither read or write to. Reformatting will erase all content from the device and rebuild the filesystem as FAT32 unless you specify it as NTFS (which you shouldn't do).
If you want to be able to use your iPod to copy music from your Mac to your PC, you'll need to either pre-format it as FAT32 using Disk Utility on your Mac and then copy everything over to your PC, or use third party software such as XPlay that allows a Windows PC to read and write to a Mac formatted iPod.
Perhaps you could take a look at this article for other ways to copy your iTunes library and files from your Mac to the PC.

Ipod Touch Stolen - Called Apple... is what they told me true?

Yesterday I unfortunately had my Ipod Touch stolen after it had fallen out of my purse. Whoever took it had the nerve to leave the case on the curb. Anyway, I filed a police report, and then today I called Apple. It was a woman with a really thick accent who kept talking over me and seemed to try to get me off of the phone as soon as possible. Anyway, she took down my serial number and created a case, and said she would have it flagged as stolen. She said if someone else were now to try to register that ipod, that it would not allow them to. Is that really true? The only reason I ask this is because the woman did not sound like she knew what she was talking about and was really rushing me off of the call. Thanks!

Thanks for the help folks. That last link does indeed answer my question. I called Apple support again today and got someone from the US, and he told me what the original rep told me was untrue (call center in the Philippines). I hope one day Apple can come up with something better than "motion-based" theft detection to help deter thieves. Yes, it could just be as simple as making sure my iPod doesn't fall out of my purse, but I am disgusted with the idea that Apple can only benefit from me losing anything I buy from them. It's baffling that none of their eggheads can come up with a deterrent that doesn't break privacy laws. Oh well, guess this was just in time for the 3Gs to come out. 64GB, here I come...and this time I am going to put all sorts of protections on my iPod--not that any of them will prevent someone from taking it. Thanks again!

My ipod was set up on another pc originally and now when I want to use it on my laptop i cannot see my old librarys to ed

My ipod was orignally set up on an old pc which is now gone. When I want to update delete some old songs to make way for new ones' I can't seem to see the full listing of my ipod. It says it was set up on another device. How can I copy my current ipod onto my laptop. I can't run the risk of syncing it if it only keeps the new tracks I have added through using my laptop

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

Im Using an ipod touch 4th gen and i have updated the iOS to 6 and nothing happens except the screen is always in apple logo only. and when i connect it to laptop, the ipod does not recognizein windows and also in iTunes

The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
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
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Reset iPhone 4 without using Apple Id

How do I reset iPhone 4 if my dad has forgotten the Apple Id password, the security answers as well as the email used to create the Apple Id?
It is fine that the data in the phone is deleted.
Urgent! Thanks

There isn't a way to bypass Activation Lock. He can get help with the password: If you forgot your Apple ID password and if non of those are possible then he can contact: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

I have an apple ID for myself (for my iPhone), and a different apple ID for my daughter (and her iPod Touch). I think her ipod was set up on a different computer, but I need to be able to update my phone, and her ipod to the same computer.

The problem seems to be that I keep getting an error when trying to update her library. I keeps telling me that she is set up on a different library, but I can`t figure out how to switch libraries.
This is getting quite frustrating, and I would appreciate help in figuring this out.
Thanks!!

You could have multiple libraries on one computer and then hold the Shift key down when startng iTunes to choose which library to use.
Or you can have everything in one Library with organized media and apps using multiple Apple IDs.
Which would you choose?

I want to transfer my ipod tunes to my new laptop. The laptop that the ipod was set up on is no longer available.

How can I transfer the tunes from my ipod (which were all imported from CD's on my old laptop) to my new laptop? My old laptop is no longer available.

New buyer of my reset ipod touch 5 says he cannot

Person who bought my ipod touch 5 that I RESET says that whenhe tries to put in his apple id, it says that id not associated withthis ipod. Put in id that IPOD was SET UP with. ? If it was reset why would it need that? I also removed it from my devices initunes.

Either:
- Connect the iPod to your computer as restore to factory settings/new iPod and then set it up with your ID and media
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
- Or go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and set it up with your iD and media

HT1209 If I change my banks details of my current Apple ID how will it affect my previous purchases in itune?

If I want to reset my IPhone using my current Apple ID, how or what effect will it do to my previous purchases using apple apps?

It will not, unless you owe something.

Ipod is set up then goes back to apple logo

I have been trying to update the software on my nephews ipod. It updated, asked me to sign in etc, said ipod was set up and ready to use, click to 'start using', then it briefly shows home screen the goes back to apple logo screen and asks me to sign in all over again. Done this about 10 times now.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

2 iphones, registered to same apple account but the second phone was orginially set up on a different computer.Is there any way I can sync the second phone to the orginial computer so as to have both phones syncing the same?

Have two 4s's registered under the same apple account. The 1st phone was set up on the computer perfect. The second phone was set up by somebody who didn't know what they were doing and set this second phone up using the same apple id but onto a laptop. How do I know get the second phone to work from the computer and sync the two phones so they are the same?
