I'm buying a 4s tomorrow, can i use my old 3gs as an itouch with wifi for my kid?

I'm buying a 4s tomorrow, but i was wondering if i can use my old 3gs as an itouch with wifi for my son to use?

Yes of course, that is possible.
The iPhone works just like an iPod Touch if you don't insert a SIM card. It will just display "No SIM" instead of the signal bars.
The "Phone and Message Apps" will still be visible, but basically the phone won't call or text anyway, because it lacks the SIM card.
Best Regards

  • Can I use my old 2008 mac as the display unit for a Mac mini

    Can I use my old 2008 20 inch mac as a display for a Mac mini as an option instead of buying a new I mac?
    I need a better graphics card and more Ram but happy with the display.

    Hi Yinka,
    You'd first have to set up something like this on the Mini...

  • Can I use my old g5 tower as a scratch disk for my Macbook Pro for Photoshop?

    I just made the laptop jump away from towers and am a little shocked by how much difference a smaller scratch disk makes. Can I use my old tower as a scratch disk to help out my new Macbook Pro?
    Any other tweaks I can do to speed up large files in Photoshop? Should I bump up the ram usage by Photoshop above the recommened percentage?

    Hm. It sounds like you know what you are talking about, and apparently I don't. I was just going to plug in a firewire cable to both and hoped that magically scratch disk would appear as an option for my tower.
    Cant I somehow boot the tower as using as a hardrive only? Or applesharing or something else?

  • How can i use my old iMac as a extended desktop display for my new iMac?

    I recently purchased a 21.5 in iMac and wanted to use my old iMac as a extended desktop. My new iMac has thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connections while my old iMac has firewire (400 and 800), USB 2.0 and mini-DVI. Is this posible?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your iMac has got Mini-DVI, you have a 17, 20 or 24-inch iMac that doesn't support Target Display. Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and iMacs with Thunderbolt can be used as external displays. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If your old iMac doesn't support Target Display mode, you can use ScreenRecycler to use your old iMac as an extended display for the new iMac. The only thing you need is that both Macs are connected to the same network

  • Can I use my old 2006 iMac as a second display for my new iMac?

    Try ScreenRecycler, the 2006 does not support display input.

  • Lost my IPhone5-did not have IFind engaged-Can I use my old 3GS for temp use.

    Lost my IPhone5 looks like i did not have my find iphone engaged. So no way in tracking the phone are  any of those third party apps able to locate my device beside the NSA or apple. who are unwilling
    I have my  icloud syncronzied with my contacts, is keeping me alive but my mac book pro is out dated is out  i dont sync to that.
    So my question i still have my  oldIpnone 3GS. Can I reactiveate this hardware device to replace my lost one, to keep me temporaly up and going?

    if apple tracked devices they would be in big trouble
    the phone can always be tracked using the IMEI number and tri connection tower calucations police use this in cases of missing persons they need to present a warrent to get the carriers to track them though
    and it's a costly thing so doubt they would do it on account of a stolen phone
    you can use your old phone if it's gsm by putting in a sim card from the carrier if it's not gsm but cmda then you should talk to the carrier
    you can restore the iphone 3gs with the backup of the newer ios version but you can use the same appleID and access apps tied to it

  • How can i use an old iphone until i get osx update for iphone 5...

    Contact your carrier to see if they can temporarily switch the service back to your old phone.

  • Can I use my old laptop's Hard drive with a PC?

    Hello,
    i bought myself an apple laptop in summer 2004. I stored a year's worth of files, projects, pictures, docs, songs... The motherboard died 4 months ago.
    Fast forward... I now use a PC (don t ask why) and I need to recover my files. I bought a container for 3 inch hard drives. It said it was mac and pc compatible, plug and play style with an usb cord. There is no software to install, it was supposed to work like a USB key. however, the PC didn t recognize it. I thought maybe it s because the file format is different on PC and WinXP, or maybe Tiger locked the hard drive... I don t have access to another ibook or powerbook to connect it to, so any other hints from you guys would be most helpful.
    Thanks.
    a 2004 12 ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Yes, you're right about the format of the disk. Out of the box, Windows XP can't read a Mac formatted-hard disk. You have two options... One, find another Mac to plug your hard drive into and see if you can't burn some of your files to CDs. A CD that the Finder burns should be both Mac and PC compatible. Or, two, purchase some software that will allow your PC to read a Mac formatted disk (the disk is probably formatted as a "Mac OS Extended" disk). It's $50, but will allow your PC to read a Mac-formatted hard drive.

  • Can i use my old round airport extreme as a WiFi extension?

    i have my new airport extreme plugged into the modem via ethernet and wish to extend its WiFi network in my house using the older round airport extreme.
    is this possible, and if so how do i configure this?
    thanks all - T

    It will depend on if this "older round" AirPort is an 802.11b or 802.11g model. If it is an 802.11g version, then yes you could use it to create a WDS extended network.

    Hi, I can't get my old wacom intuos2 to work with mountain lion, any suggestions? Apart from buy a new tablet.

    I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
    If you get this message:
    then you need to right-click on the installer package and select 'Open' when you get this message:
    If this isn't your issue you need to be more specific about what is happening.

  • I'm thinking of buying an iPad.  Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

    I'm thinking of buying an iPad.  Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

    Another thing to note is that if your cell plan/carrier supports it (it's free with Verizon Shared plans), you can also use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot (Personal Hotspot on iOS devices) and use your phone's data to access the internet on the iPad. I purchased an iPad 3 with Verizon 3G/4G cellular built-in but have never activated it. I instead use Personal Hotspot with my Verizon Wireless cellular (phone) plan. If you go this route, you can save money over purchasing a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad and just choose the Wi-Fi model. But also realize that if you choose to at some point to use the iPad when you're away from Wi-Fi, you won't have the built-in cellular capability that a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad would have.

    You do. Your system is either Windows or Mac (or maybe a couple of other less popular choices) and a version of one or the other.
    When you set up your machine, you were asked for an administrator user name and password. You need both of these to install software.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Read the system requirements for the programs you listed. Match them against the specifications of the machine you propose to buy. The more RAM the better, your hard drive size requirements and video card specicications may require the upgraded, not base, model or may eliminate the MBA as a platform.

    i am looking at buying an ipad 2, can i use my 3gs as a hotspot to access 3g internet outside of wifi zones?

    You would need to call your mobile carrier and inquire about their policies and ability for "tethering."
    Hope this helps
