My ipod touch 3g has a large problem please help

Hello I have a 3g Ipod Touch, the other night when i turned it on it had a message that said "activation required" I plugged it into my computer and It had me restore it. Ive tried restoring it multiple times and syncing it multiple times. Even after multiple restores it still says activation required. I cannot unlock it. Turn it off or even put it in recovery mode. I am very scared because its the most expensive thing I own and there is absolutely no way that I can afford another one. I do not know what to do. Please help me everybody

    Sounds like you need to restart the TouchPad. You can do this by holding the power button + the center button together for 20 seconds (yes, it takes a LONG time). This is a hardware initiated reset and won't require any screen taps.

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

  • IPod Touch will not connect to iTunes, please help..

    I purchased an iPod Touch yesterday. I synced it up to iTunes, everything fine. After disconnecting and then reconnecting later I found that the computer didn't recongize it and it did nothing but charge the iPod. I've tried many times, all to either have it do nothing, crash iTunes, or give me the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because of an unknown error (0xE8000001)". I've tried reinstalling iTunes, the whole Apple Device Service, the USB problems.. everything. I have USB 2.0, Version 1.1.2 of the iPod, and iTunes version 7.5. Please, please try and answer my problem.
    I've also restored using a friends computer, it works fine the first sync after I restore on his comp, but after that it does what I described above.
    Please help

    I was having the same problem but what I made was:
    Conect iPod Touch into a USB port but from the back of the PC
    Then *shut dawn* the iPod no lock *shut dawn*
    then reinstall iTunes (it has to be iTunes 7.5 o later)
    open iTunes
    turn on iPod Touch
    and it most work
    o restart your PC and try again

  • Ipod touch 5 headphone jack not working please help?

    I have tried with multiple pairs of earbuds/ headphones. Either there will be audio in the left, or right, but usually never at the same time unless you twiddle with the headphone plug in. Sometimes there's no audio. I only got the ipod in December, so naturally I'm concerned that there's a problem.
    If anyone has experienced anything like this, your help would be greatly appreicated. Also any help on how to fix it/ what I should do about it would be further appreicated.
    Thanks so much!!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack. If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost

  • Ipod touch uknown error (1)...PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi! I am having problems trying to restore my ipod touch back to version 1.1.2. When I try to restore it, it keeps saying that an unknown error has occurred (1). Does anybody know what this means? PLEASE help me with any info.
    I do not want to upgrade to 1.1.3. would like to stay with 1.1.2. Thanks!
    -John

    I don't know about a Mac, but with a Windows PC it recognizes the iPod as a different device if you plug it in to a different usb port. If you plug the ipod into the new usb port and check Device Manager (right click My Computer, select Hardware Tab, and click Device Manager button). The Touch should show up under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" as something like "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". See what it shows up as and then unplug it and plug it in to the original usb port, holding the shift key until it shows up in iTunes (or you get the error message). Check what it is showing up as in Device Manager. If it showed up using a different name, then delete the device. Then unplug and replug the usb cable and see if it shows up as the correct device when it is detected. Of course if you don't have a problem with sticking with the new usb port you could just do that...

  • IPod touch failed set-up via USB - please help?

    NB - this is not related to my Mac computer. I am connecting an iPod touch 4th generation to a Windows machine running XP (SP3).
    The iPod is new and I can't get it to set up via USB connection to computer running iTunes (I have mobile broadband, and it isn't a wireless connection). I have tried the minimum, older version of iTunes and the most up-to-date version.
    On connection, both the iPod and iTunes acknowledge each other and the iPod charges. It says "connected to iTunes", but does nothing further. Once the screen saver blanks the screen, it simply shows "connect to iTunes" again, clearly part of the set-up process, when I re-activate the screen.
    In iTunes, the iPod Touch comes up under "Devices" at the left-hand side of the iTunes display, but I can't click on it to reveal anything about the iPod - nothing happens. At the same time, a progress bar appears at the tope of hte window saying, "accessing iTunes store" (I'm assuming this must be part of the set-up process?!), but it never completes. Sometimes, I get an error message telling me I have no active internet connection (the connection IS active, but I have also emailed my service provider in case this is relevent), but mostly it just hangs - in short, I can't do anything.
    I can't tell you which version of the iOS the iPod is running, because - you've guessed it - it will only run its set-up procedure, and that's not completing, so I can't find out anything about it...
    So disappointed, and very dispirited after spending days on this and getting nowhere. Apple has not responded to a service request thus far.
    Desperate to get this sorted out, because the whole point of finally getting an iPod (which everyone told me would be so simple to set up and use) is because I'm doing a really big charity walk in a couple of weeks - that, and the training walks, are really long (next one, tomorrow, is seven hours), and doing them without music is soul-destroying.
    If you can help, I'd be grateful beyond words.
    Thanks for reading,
    Sheri.

    Why do Apple not respond to correctly initiated support requests?
    This is taking weeks to fix on my own - that is *crazy* in this day and age. Here is an update. Sorry it's long, but it's in case it helps anyone else. I tried *everything*.
    What did it in the end was a tiny - REALLY tiny - thing, but I suspect it wouldn't have worked if not in combination with several other things.
    It's a setting in internet explorer, which I use rarely if ever, but a friend (i.e. a stroke of luck that he was around) pointed out that iTunes uses it in the background to work properly, and it's a security setting in the "Advanced" tab of the "Internet options" bit of IE. You need to UNtick the box for "Check server's certificate revocation". Which suggests that, before doing this, iTunes was going into an endless loop of checking. Not sure about that, but anyway - it worked in terms of getting the oPod recognised and set up (but see later in the post for the current situation). BUT... before that, I'd had to:-
    1. via my firewall, open two ports (80 and 443) needed by iTunes (I think this was key as well, actually - why on earth doesn't this sort of support come with the kit?)
    2. uninstall latest iTunes and revert to a previous version (may or may not have been necessary, but seemed logical especially as the iPod's iOS wouldn't be up-to-date) - that needed doing twice, as the first version I tried was *too* early for a 4th generation touch
    3. flush the resolver cache several times, and various other command-line actions
    4. try all connecting and communicating in different orders (e.g. trying to authenticate iTunes *first*, before connecting iPod) - but now I've seen the set-up process once through in its entirety, it's become *so* obvious that none of that was working, so it's partly my inexperience with iPods which made it take so long to find the solution
    5. try to set it up via the iTunes website instead (fail!)
    6. test secure site (https) access and inputting various server addresses to see if my firewall or mobile broadband provider was blocking them
    7. attempt connection with various parts of virus protection and firewall disabled, and even disable the entire firewall
    Not to mention endless emails and discussion forum contributions, reading and tweaking, all the re-boots...
    CURRENT SITUATION
    Lots of aspects working, but as soon as I ask the iPod to do anything internet related (use Safari, access App Store, etc - or even just sign in), it returns the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes store" - despite being connected by a cable to a computer which IS connected to the internet and IS running iTunes, IS accessing the store, HAS synced with and updated the iPod...
    Absolutely NOTHING in Apple "support" discussions/documents makes any difference, and is almost exclusively aimed at those connecting wirelessly anyway (so lots of stuff about routers, DNS settings, etc.); wireless is not an option oopen to me.
    Unbelievable.
    Any suggestions which don't just point me to an Apple support document would be very welcome, because I think I have read them all...

  • IPod touch 4g won't turn on, please help me

    It all started when I powered down my ipod, as in holding down the power button and sliding the red bar. After I did that, my ipod touch refuses to make any noise or sign that it is still working. I tried holding down the home button and power button for up to a minute. Nothing. And I also plugged it into my computer to find that it wasn't recognizable by itunes. I feel that I've tried everything for this, and I really don't want my ipod to be done for. I don't care if I lose all my data, I just can't live without this device :(

    2ng gen ipod touch, Apps NEVER work after sync.
    am i missing something? i basically have to lose all my apps in order to add tunes.
    its doing my head in, Help pweeeessee..

    Hi
    Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
    To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
    You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 provides more general troubleshooting tips for applications purchased from the App store.
