iPod Touch 4g won't activate

I have an iPod touch 4g I'm updating from iOS 4.1 to 5.1.1. the iPod is not jailbroken and it is registered. I tried to activate using my wi-fi didn't work. I tried to activate using iTunes and that didn't work either. I've put the iPod in recovery mode and try again, didn't work and I've tried in DFU mode and try again and that didn't work either.

Please help

Kind regards,

Neesha

This message comes up every time I try to activate my iPod touch on iTunes.

I'm trying again using wireless network and it says 'could not activate iPod touch because the activation server cannot be reached. try connecting your iPod touch to iTunes to activate it or try again in a few minutes.'

N.B. I've registered my iPod touch today

Check if your restriction is enabled on your device general/restrictions if it is then turn it off and try again or try the DNS 8.8.8.8 or forget wi-fi network turn wi-fi off turn your device off, then turn it on connect to your wi-fi then try the activation process.

have you got any problems with facetime too?

Is your device an iPhone or an iPod touch?
