I Followed the instructions on the activation help screen and it told me to go to the apple help website so i went and still no Help . it told me to get in contact with the old owner.

Unless you try to get a refund, no other help is available with this issue. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure.

THeres no way to get in contact with the original owner. I mean why does apple think the original owner is always gonna be involved in It. My guess is that maybe this is a stolen device and i just either want to get it unlocked or have the owner reimburse my money that i paid for the ipod and he can have his back. I dont mind goving him back the ipod i just dont wanna feel like a jack *** for buying this icloud locked device that i didn't even know was locked
