What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes?
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
I-tune is not recognizing the I-pod. That was the original problem I had, I was trying to erase all the pictures. So I went on the I-pod and erased everything, I didn't know it would erase all of it. the only thing the I-pod is showing the usb cord and it says I-tunes

Or
See

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
- Then do the other actions of:

Before I do this I would like to ask 1 more question of you. I found the serial # on the back it is 9C849CWT208. Apple says they no longer can help because it is a vintage model, so with that being said. If I try everything you are suggesting will there be any way on I-tunes that I will be able to restore anything. Because there is nothing on it at all or is it garbage
If it works at the end it is still good for things like mail, surfing, music player and some apps
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
If you can't get it working it is not worth getting it repaired.
Apple will give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one.
