I've restored my iphone 4, but why is it?
I just restored my iphone 4 because i was planning to give it to my friend who can't afford one and my dad is already going to buy me an android, (because they are easier and less frustrating) and after restoring, it asked me to activate the cell phone, but my best friend just wants it as an ipod, basically… Is there any way at all to bypass this and just use it as an ipod?
Yes you can use it that way. I use an unactivated android. Same difference.
Yes, if I understand the question just put your sim card in the slot and it should be activated. Then take out the sim card.
If it's another problem where the software needs to be reactivated then you have to go to an Apple Store so they can reactivate the phone for you. That could be the problem because it's happened to me numerous times.

- Why my iTunes backup can't be restored to iOS 7 Beta 2? At first I updated OTA but it failed. It was stuck in Apple logo so I restored my 4s to iOS 6.1.3. Then I updated to iOS 7 and set it up as new iPhone. Then when I'm going to restore from my backup (ios 7 beta 1) again it was stuck on apple logo. Trying to restore from back up again, this time my back up from iOS 6, it was still stuck! Does anyone knows what's the problem and how to fix this?
