Restoring an old iPod without losing data can be tricky, but here are a few steps you can try:
1. Unlock with the Original Computer: If you still have access to the computer the iPod was originally synced with, connect it via iTunes. Often, iTunes will recognize the device and allow you to unlock it without erasing the data.
2. Backup Before Restoring: If you have the original computer, and iTunes does recognize the iPod, back it up immediately before trying anything else. You should be able to do this by selecting the iPod in iTunes and clicking “Back Up Now.”
3. Third-Party Tools: There are tools like iMyFone or Tenorshare that claim to unlock older iPods without data loss. Be cautious and read reviews before using them.
