im needing help. i have a situation i bought a ipod touch 5th generation off of craigslist. i hadnt mess with it for a week because i was leaving town when i got back i had relized that the ipod was locked. so i tryed to contact the person i bought it from and the phone was no longer in service. i met him at the store by my house so i have no way in contacting the person. i went as far as to go back on cralgslist to find his post and found that he deleted it. now my question is i have this ipod i don't know what to do. can you help me to get in to it so i can use it? my granddaughter is very unhappy. i would hate to have to just toss it out.

iPod touch, iOS 9.0.1

    Sorry, but there is nothing you can do. The device is Activation Locked, and the only person who can remove it is the person who put it on or someone who knows that person's Apple ID and password. Sorry, but sounds like you got scammed and sold a lost or stolen device.

     

    It's a nice paperweight

     

    Sorry,
