Activate FaceTime on iPod touch bought in Dubai but used in europe

Dear all,
I bought last saturday in Dubai airport a Ipod Touch for my son living in Seychelles.
We hped to use facetime between us, I'm living in France.
We were suprise to discovered that the icon Facetime is inexisting on the menu.
I read since that in meadle east country Facetime is not avialable.
No information figured on the pack, exactly similar to what we can find in France.
Could somebody give me the key to achieve this fonctionnality.
I bought it for Facetime connection between my son and me.....
tahnk for your help
Jean Yves

Dear KIWI,
It seems that the problem is more serious than expected.
i read on this forum that the serial number of the apparatus fix the fonctional uses.
Facetime is not accepted by middle east authorities in numberous countries as legal software due to the encrytion flow link used.
I red also that Iphone are concerned and the only solution found is to jailbreak the apparatus, a shame.
If you have any other idea don't hesitate.
Thank for your anser.
PS: Arrived in Seychelles, I reset fully the Ipod after the first start where I saw icon Facetime was missing.

i bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it? people pls help.

omijh,
It will not work no matter how many times you choose to restore your iPod touch. If it is blocked than it is blocked. So prern do not restore your iPod. It will take up your time and will be a waste. Listen to stedman1 and Dave Sawyer. An by the way, Facetime is available on iOS 4...so again you are wrong.

FaceTime with a iPod Touch bought from Dubai?

My friend bought a 4th gen iPod Touch from Dubai which has iOS 4.1 (8B118) installed. Model No. MC540AB.
We opened the box here in India & later came to know that FaceTime is blocked in gulf countries & therefore we don't see any FaceTime app on our iPod touch - this is freaking us out.
We use it with our iTunes US store account here in India, so using US store account doesn't help
What are the workarounds ? the iPod is useless for us w/o FaceTime
Options I think available
1) Jailbreak ? (not preferred at all)
2) Upgrade to iOS 4.2.1
3) Install iOS of some other iPod touch 4th gen from other country or so from a site like

Pls help.
Although it is purchased form Dubai, but we are in India now & it should just work.

I do not know the answer to your question.

If FaceTime is not hidden by Restrictions (Settings>General<Restrictions) you got duped. iPods officially sold in Dubai and some other countries that prohibit FT do not have FT and there is not way to get FT on those iPods.

I am planning to buy an Ipod touch here in saudi but the facetime application is unenabled, if i bought here and bring it to other country, can i enabled the facetime?

The only way you're going to get facetime is if you purchase your device is a country that hasn't banned its use. However, I'm not sure if it'll even work if you do that. As in the program is disabled on the server level....for example I can bring my US device into Saudi but Facetime will not work until I get outside of the country's borders.
Skype is a program that's often mentioned as a work around for that country's ban on Facetime. (I know it exists for iPad, not sure if there's an iPod version)

HT1459 Whenever I try to activate my 4th generation iPod Touch bought today, via my home router (Asus) which has a good signal, I get the warning: "Your iPod Touch could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." Very frustrating.

You are running into the activation lock.

You have to either enter the Apple/iCloud ID and password in order to activate the iPod for use. Or you can try to dissassociate the iPod for that account by:

Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, setings screen for imessage is not up

Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, settings screen for imessage doesn't give me options to turn it on or off

Hello ecaseywage,
For issues activating iMessage on your iPod touch, take a look at the article below to walk you through getting it resolved. I would start with making sure that you have the date and time set correctly as well as making sure you are online. Because you said that you cannot turn it off, try restarting your iPod touch to see if can be turned off afterwards.

Log in to itunes via your acct. and there is a setting for direct downloads or save and download later, see which one you have selected, I'll bet it's save and download later.

I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used for a while. Now we want to use it, but the screen says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes"--but it won't connect. I have tried to place in recovery mode with directions given but still get the same message.

I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while. We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled. connect to itunes". When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway). I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes". Help!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How many songs can you put in an Ipod touch 64GB if you only use it for music?

I've heard the Ipod classic 160GB is discontinued. Could someone tell me how many songs you can put in the Ipod touch 64GB if you exclusively use it for music and don't put any photos, videos or anything?

I just did some quick figuring. There are a lot of variables. My 64gb 5th gen touch has only 56.6gb capacity so says the unit. Settings>General>About.
MP3 formatted songs vary greatly. I quickly perused my collection and found that the size varied from 3-7MB per song. Using the average of 4MB per song,(7MB is a rather large file for MP3) you will come up with 56.6 X 1024MB (1024 MB per 1GB) =57958MB/4 =14489 songs. This will probably never happen as there is cover artwork and different variables because of file size to consider. This gives you an Idea where to start.
