Turn My iPhone 4 into an iPod Touch?

Hi,
I'm sorry if this question has been asked (seems like it would be a fairly common question). I've used the search feature, as well as Google, but most of the threads/answers I've found seem to be "one-off" type of questions that don't really address the general issue.
Anyway, I had an iPhone 4. I just bought a new iPhone 5s. I simply want to turn the iPhone 4 into an iPod touch so that I can continue to use it to listen to music and podcasts while I'm exercising (seems like a better option than to risk dropping my brand new iPhone). What do I need to do this? Do I need to remove the SIM card? If so, how do I do this?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I too have a question on this. I have upgraded to the 5s and want to give my iphone 4 to my daughter to use as an ipod touch with no sim. I'm having difficulty setting up imessage and facetime on the device? I've followed a few posts an have erased all contents and all settings, put the old sim in (it is still active with network), set the phone up using itunes account with sim in with no success.... Waiting for activation...... is the status
You could/can use imessage and facetime on my old ipod touch so am I right in thinking that you can also do this with the iphone 4 with no sim?
If so how..............

Converting an iphone 2g into an ipod touch

I just bought a new 3Gs and they moved my sim card to this new iphone. How do I turn my old 2g into an ipod touch?

"They" should have left the SIM cards alone.
It should work fine, but if you need to update or restore you'll need to re-insert the SIM card.

My iphone 4 is getting stuck during gaming when sim card is inserted. Call anyone help me out to solve this problem?

That doesn't make any sense to me at all, unless the games you're trying to play have some sort of online connection/capability and you're in a weak signal area, thus the games can't make the required online connection. What happens when you turn cellular data off in settings: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off.

How do you turn your music off on your ipod touch?

Double click the Home button (fro a lock-screen) and the music control sill show. Tap the pause icon (two verticle parallel lines). The same from the Music app.

Verizon will only unlock your phone for international use.
Just to avoid any possible confusion, a Verizon-model iPhone 4 is a CDMA-only iPhone and can't be unlocked at all. The only way to use that model with another carrier is if Verizon has international CDMA carrier partners for international roaming, available only a very few countries.
Only the Verizon-model iPhone 4S or later is or can be unlocked for true international use.

How do I download a voice memo from an ipod touch onto my library without erasing and syncing the itouch

how do I download a voice memo from an ipod touch onto my library without erasing and syncing the itouch?

Are you trying the "sync" the Voice Memos to a computer other than your syncing computer? If it is to your syncing computer just follow the instructions in the Users Guide. If to another computer you will have to make a backup of the iPod on that computer and then restore the iPod from that backup and then sync to the computer.

I have lost my iPad and would like to block it from being reregistered. It is a wifi only and does not have a sim card. I did not sign up for any tracking software either. Can apple block the serial number?

No.
Apple can do nothing.
You cannot block it from being "registered".
If you did not set up find my ipad before it was lost, then there is nothing you can do but change your passwords.

HT3406 Is it possible to convert a Verizon iphone 4 (CDMA) to an ipod touch since it does not have a SIM card?

How do you turn off lock rotation on my iPod touch

I have a really old ipod and do not have a credit card for my apple ID. How do I get past doing so without using apps, since I have an ipod where you cannot download apps.

I am trying to create a new apple ID. And I do not yet have a credit card. So I would like to know how I can make this apple ID without having to worry about having credit card information. My ipod is the big one where you cannot even download apps onto it yet. Please help.

You don't need an Apple ID to use a "classic" iPod. You only need a computer (Mac or PC) that can run iTunes. If your iPod is older, your computer does not even need to run the latest version of iTunes. You can add songs to your iTunes library from music CDs, and song files you have already. Then sync the iPod to that iTunes library.
An Apple ID only comes into play, if you want to buy and download songs (and other media) from the iTunes Store. This document describes how to create an Apple ID without a credit card

My friend gave me an iPhone instead of an iPod touch, the phone has no service, but do i need service to set up iMessages? (it is a verizon iPhone)

My iphone has no service but do i need service to set up messages? I have tried restoring, everything i can do. but i just wont work. but if i do turn it on on verizon will i be able to activate messages?

Do you mean you can't get it to work with WiFi? I don't believe you need cellular service to use anything except phone related services. So iMessages should work if you have an active WiFi connection. But I'm not an iPhone expert. You might get the manual to see if it is helpful:
Please Get the iPhone User Manual for iOS 5
Please get the iPhone iOS 4 user guide.

ITunes says there's not a valid SIM card, but there is. Please help?

Here's the story: By contract with an argentinean carrier, after 18 months I should get my iPhone 3GS unlocked. So I bought an iPhone 4S and ask the carrier for a microSIM (or whatever name it has). They gave me one and I started to use my new iPhone. After I told my girlfriend, she aseked me to use my old iPhone, and I said of course. Since she uses another carrier, I asked my to unlock mi iPhone and they said it would unlock itself by plugging it to iTunes and sync. So I did that and the phone kinda crashed down. I read I should restore it and so I tried. iTunes told me that the firmeware was corrupt, or something like that (I don't remember the error's numbers, but there were two, and I think one was 0015). So I went to another PC and tried again, and -apparently- all went well, it installed the 5.1.
So then I tried to sync with iTunes and discover the the iPhone is suddenly unativated. I tried to activate it and iTunes said "There is no valid SIM card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate". I talked to the carrier's people and they told me to use one of their chips. So I did. Then they told me to use a chip from another company, and I did that too. That was a month ago (carriers over here tend to lose all interest in you once you've already bought what they want you to buy). I also tried to do it from the iPhone, but it says "Activation servers are temporarily unavailable" or something like that.
I looked over these discussions and found I should delete some lines from the host file. I did that too. Nothing changed.
Apple has no official support offices in Argentina anymore, and I don't want anybody else touching my iPhone. I went to the carrier, but they said they'd call me on the next day two weeks ago, so that's not an option.
Can anybody -please- tell me what to do?
This iPhone has never been jailbroken, unlocked, hacked or any other thing that may apply. Nobody ever touched it except me.
I would really appreciate some help, thank you.

Hi, Pi.
Have a look at this Apple Support page , the iTunes says my code is "invalid" section in particular.
