Q: If I factory reset an iPod Touch, will the number of computers it can sync with reset?

I'm looking to buy a used iPod touch. I've heard that an iPod/iPhone only has a limited number of computers that it can be synced to. My friend's decided to psych me out saying that the factory reset won't help that, so I just wanted to make 100% sure before buying a used iPod touch. Thanks for your time and putting up with my ignorance

iPod touch, null

You can have five computers associated with one Apple ID/iTunes account.

You can alsohave up to 10 devices, with max of 5 computers, associated with your Apple ID
Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

If the iPod is restored to factory settings/new iPod then if yo do not have more than the above number of device/computer associated with your ID already you have no problem. I do not understand what your friend is taking about
