Activating iPhone service without a computer
Okay, so here's the deal: I bought my iPhone 3G back in October 2008. I cancelled my service due to being unable to make payments. I would like to reactivate it again. Only problem is that I have no regular access to a computer or my own personal iTunes. I have a lot of data (music, videos, etc) that I would like to keep. What are my options for reactivating my service without losing any data or syncing it to iTunes (reactivating or signing up for new service is not an issue.)
You should be able to visit the shop of your country's iPhone carrier and have it re-activated for use without any issues. They would be able to activate it there.

No, just for syncing, and backing up. I know people (sadly) who have never attached their iPhone to their computer. Not a great thing, but not unusuable, as you state.
Not un-useable, but absolutely a basic requirement. From the tech specs:
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
Windows system requirements
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access"

These are the REQUIREMENTS to use the iphone as it is designed and intended.
You can use it without a computer, but you cannot use it as designed and intended. -

HT201269 Can I transfer music from my ipad2 to my iPhone 4S without a computer?
Apple replaced my phone and lost all my music other than what was purchased on iTunes. My iPad still has all my music. My PC died 2 days ago so I have no computer. Can I transfer the music on my iPad to the new iPhone?
I forgot to add, once you replace your dead PC (if you do), you can always get the music back from the backup of your PC - it would be in the itunes folder.

I need to hard reset my locked IPhone 4 without a computer
I Was giving my aunts old iPhone 4. She told me to hard reset it, and it was mine. It is locked up and I dont have a computer, how do I hard reset it?
A reset is holding down the home and sleep button, waiting for the Apple logo and then letting go of the buttons.

I have an iphone 4 with music downloaded from my Macbook which was originally downloaded from CDs. I now have an iphone 4s that will not sync with my old Macbook because it does not have the most recent version of itunes. Macbook is too old for new itunes. I want to transfer music on iphone 4 to iphone 4s. icloud will only transfer music to 4s that was originally purchsed through itunes and will not transfer CD music from iphone 4. How can I transfer this music to my new phone?
The Mac version of the iPhone PC suite supports to backup iPhone music to PC and iTunes with ID3 Tag Info preserved. Try it.

HT201328 how to unlock iphone without a computer?
how can i unlock my iphone 5s without a computer?
No matter what kind of unlocking you mean you cannot do it without a computer.
Carrier unlock can only be done by the carrier it is locked to.
If the screen is locked you also need a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 -
Getting contacts back without activation-iPhone 3g
I am unable to restore my contacts because I recently switched companies I work for and don't have current phone service. I backed up my contacts in iTunes before the service went dead. So in order to try and get the contacts back I did a restore. I am dead in the water because in order to complete the reload from a previous backup you must have phone service. I backed up in order to try the retore so the SIM card is blank. It is not a software nor hardware issue, I simply want my contacts back. Is there a way to get them back without signing up for a new plan or hacking the phone?
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. Did you have an Exchange account with your previous employer and you were syncing iPhone contacts over the air with your Exchange account?
If not, with XP you can sync contacts direct via the iTunes sync process with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with calendar events, or with the address book used by Outlook Express.
With a non-activated iPhone, as long as the no longer activated SIM card remains inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when the iPhone was activated, you should be able to install a firmware update or restore the iPhone with iTunes if needed or wanted. I do this with my no longer activated first generation iPhone. -
Well, I guess my heading says it all. I am trying to delete multiple (like A LOT) of photos from my camera roll on my iphone 5 without connecting to my computer. All other instructions I've read on here do not work. (I'm not saying I read ALL instructions though) But the ones I've read, do not work.
I DO NOT want to connect to my computer to do this, so please read what I am asking! It HAS to be possible, it's just downright silly if it isn't and I'll be ****** about the 3 grand I've given to Apple in the last few months for various reasons...
Thank you in advance for any responses.Okay. Awesome! I feel like such a dodo that was so freaking simple!
Now I have another simple person question that feels stupid too but oh well apparently my brain doesn't like to work at 5 a.m. when I am in bad pain but...
Okay, so I've deleted them from my phone manually, they are already ALL on my mac, when I plug my phone back into my mac to sync music and any New photos, will the old photos that I deleted that are on the mac, go back on the phone? Der. I feel like I already know the answer, but I'm asking anyways...
Please, thank you, and sorry in advance! -
How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPod without a computer ?
Is it possible to transfer the music from my iTunes on my iPhone to my iPod without a computer?
No. The music must stored in an iTunes library on a PC or Mac first. From there you can sync it over to the iPod.

i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?
If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
