I bought an ipod from someone that I dont have a clue as to how to contact this person and the ipod has an activation lock on it. I think it's an older model ipod it's a A1509 does anybody know how I could possibly get in this thing or how do I go about getting the lock off of it PLEASE ANYONE?
iPod Classic
If a used iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it).
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you, nor find the previous owner for you, and neither can the websites that offer to unlock it for a fee: these are scams.

You have an iPod touch 5th gen 16 GB that doesn't feature the rear camera. This model was sold between 05/2013 - 06/2014. If you can't set it up because it requires the Apple ID and password of the previous owner, you are out of luck. You can't bypass that.
Can someone PLEASE HELP?
