My iTouch 4th gen says "activation required"

It's actually been stuck on this screen for a while, but I figured I'd try to fix it instead of selling broken junk. I've tried holding down the lock button until it restarts, and I've tried holding down the lock button and the home button at the same time to restarted. Nothing happens!!!! Someone help me

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am having problems downloading an app on my itouch 4th gen app store

I am having problems with downloading an app on my itouch 4th gen app store. When I go to the certain app, the price isn't highlighted as if it isn't compatible with my itouch 4th gen even though it says it is and it fits all the critera. Would downloading the certain app on the computer app store instead of my itouch work or should I try something else?

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

Car doesnt sync to my itouch 4th gen

car dosent sync to my Itouch 4th gen, get erra can read

Does the car system manufacturer say it will work with your model iPod and it iOS?
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

For the iOS5 (iTouch 4th Gen), was there supposed to be an iTunes and Documents app (directly on the iTouch) for the iCloud feature? Because I don't have it and I already tried restoring my iTouch again...

so now I have to close an account I've held for 5 years and lose all my content...... am I right?
No.
I suggest you contact iTunes support.
-> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and was declined because I didn't have enough funds. This is fine. This happens all the time. Its cash.
I wouldn't say "this is fine" and it is not cash.
In many places, attempting to use a debit card with no funds (even if you don't know there are no funds) is fraud and is illegal.

TS2755 My iPhone 4 says that I need to restore it every day, even after I have already restored it. When I try to restart the phone after receiving the restore message, it then changes and says "activation required". How do I fix this?

My iPhone 4 keeps having the "Restore Needed" message pop up on my phone. I have restored my phone several times this week, and it still keeps happening. The "Restore Needed" message pops up, so I immediately do a hard shut-down. Once the phone restarts, the phone then says "Activation Required". I keep shutting down and restarting the phone, and sometimes it snaps out of it, seemingly on its own. Sometimes I have to go home and restore and activate my phone. How do I fix this? I'm 2.5 hours away from the closest Apple store and 1 hour away from the closest AT&T store.
Thanks!
Autumn

Make the time and take it to the Apple Store. Make an appointment first. Or you can call AppleCare and go for a mail in replacement.

HT4061 found old iphone 4. want to use it for wifi. But it wont let me into my iphone. it says activation required and then plug into itunes, then as soon as I plug it into itunes it flashes the apple logo on and off and wont be detected on itunes.

found olf iphone 4 or 4s in the back of my parents closet. They told me I could now have it back and its been a year since the last time I saw it. It wont turn on unless it is plugged up to a wall plug in. But as soon as I turn it on it says activation required then it says plug into itunes. After I try doing that it plugs into my computer but flashes the apple logo on and off. It wont even turn on all the way when plugged into computer...only the wall. ANY IDEAS?): and no I didnt steal/find this phone. It is mine. I dont have the guts to steal but a lot of people online have accused me.

You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

My ipod touch says "activation required, connect to itunes" i restore it on my itunes and it seems to be working, after i tried connecting to my wifi but no luck, i reset it and the same thing happens all over again. Help!

my ipod touch says "activation required, Connect to itunes" i restored it with on my itunes and it seems to be working again, after i tried connecting to my wifi with no luck i reset it, and again it pops back "activation required, connect to itunes" i restored again, its a non ending cycle, and it makes no sense having my ipod and i cannot connect to the internet with it, can someone please help with this issue?

Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT1386 my phone will no longer turn all the way on or sinc... It just says activation required.

My I phone will no longer turn on all the way or conect with my computer all the way to sinc.... keeps saying "activation required"? How do I activate?

The only time I have ever seen that is when my SIM card is out of my phone. Try opening the sim card tray and then replacing it after a minute. Use a paperclip to pop the door open on the side of the phone (if it is a 4 or 4s) or on top (if 3GS) and see if that changes the alert message. Check back with status if that doesn't help. You can also trying a full restore by plugging it into your computer and opening iTunes. When it recognizes the phone click on the phone name in the left menu and hit restore. This will erase the phone but if you have a backup you can restore from that after it resets the phone or you can set it up as a new phone and start from scratch. Good luck, let me know if this helps.

Apple does not sell parts. If your iPod is damaged, Apple will exchange it for their out-of-warranty exchange price. See:
