how can i get my iphone to work without itunes

You don't need a computer at all to activate and use a phone running iOS 5 or 6.
Turn it on, go through the activation steps on screen, and you're up and running.
Are you having some kind of problem you'd like help with, or is this just a hypothetical question?

  • I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • HT4623 How can I get my iPhone 4S unlocked - it's currently locked on the 3 network - 3 can't do it unless I have an account with them.

    How can I get my iPhone 4S unlocked - it's currently locked on the 3 network and they won't unlock it unless I have an account with them.

    Only 3 can authorize unlocking it. If you don't meet their conditions, then you're out of luck.

  • How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

    How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
    I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned."  I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile.  I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number.  But the person it says is not the person I said. 
    It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

    Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7.  Then it went out the window.  I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem.  If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.

  • How do I get update iphone apps update without itunes match?

    I'm not a Luddite but ... Don't want Cloud, too many problems, and don't want to update to iTunes 10.7 if match is included. So the question becomes how do I get updates for my apps without the new iTunes store agreement. I feel as though I'm dealing with Micro-you-know-who and having a bunch of garbage shoved down my throat. And looking through all the questions about software not working properly... I've been there before. What is going on with Apple? Makes me really nervous.
    Help, please .............

    Match is optional (in fact you have to pay extra for it) - so carry on as before.
    iCloud is separate from iTunes and is used for syncing - it's generally recommended you use a separate Apple Id for the stores(s) and iCloud anyway - that way the family can share music &amp; apps but sync individually.

  • How can I get my iPhone contacts from my itunes to icloud so I can restore to an iPhone3GS using a newer PC.

    Hi,
    My big issue is I would like to retrieve my contacts
    I have an iPhone 3GS that has been regularly synced to my iTunes 9.02? on an older powerbook running 10.4.11. I would like to have a new iMac but the delivery time currently for the configuration I wanted is 8 - 10 weeks.
    The iPhone has been regularly crashing so the local Apple store advised me to upgrade the OS which I was only able to do using a PC as I couldn't do it using my Mac.
    Now I'm stuck. The iPhone is asking me if I want to restore from itunes (on the PC which as far as I know has nothing on it) OR from icloud which seems to have only one contact (me) OR to set up a new phone. I cannot use my old Mac now as when I plug in the phone it tells me its not compatible.
    Am I screwed? Should I give up, get a new blackberry and just forget about Apple after being a loyal user for 25 years?
    Can I somehow find a way to get the iPhone backup from the old Mac itunes up to icloud?

    I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
    All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
    I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
    It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

  • How can i get my youtube to work without it stopping in the middle of video's?

    Whenever I am viewing a video on youtube, it will stop playing at random points and if I click the play button it won't work. This doesn't happen 24/7 but I really want to get it sorted. I have tried re-booting but that doesn't seem to work. Please help?

    Souns like a networl problem/slow network.  The iPod can't download the content as fast ad the iPod is playing it.  It is called buffering since to help avoid that the iPod tries to download it a little faster athat it is used and store it (buffer) to help allow a continious playback with minor slowdowns in the network.

  • How can I get Home Share to work for iTunes??  I've followed the instructions but one I have activated Home Share, there is no "Shared" heading to link to my other computer.  It (the word "Shared") disappears after I turn on Home Share.

    I followed the instructions, but once I turn on "Home Sharing", the word "Shared" disappears from the left hand column of the iTunes window.  So, where can I link to my other computer so I can share my music??

    Make sure that the iTunes version is updated on your computers that you are using for Home Sharing.  Also, I think that all of the computers have to be on with iTunes pulled up while you are trying to transfer data.
    You have to have Home Sharing turned on with both computers.  If you do have Home Sharing turned on with all of your computers, are your 'Shared' computers all authorized under the same account?  If not, they should be.
    Have you checked 'Share my library on my local network' in preferences?  You should have the box checked for both computers.
    I hope this helps!

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
