    Who gave you the iPod?

     

    When you got it, did it have applications already installed on it?

     

    If so,

     

    • Delete those applications that you didn't install (came on the iPod originally)
    • Log into your apple id again
    • Install whatever apps you want

     

    Let me know if this works, if it doesn't I have another fix for you

    If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.

    If not, you can't activate the device; Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)
