Can an unactivated iphone be used as an ipod touch??

HI,
I am about to upgrade from the 1st gen to the 3GS. Once I activate the 3GS, can I still use the apps and ipod features on the old (soon to be deactivated) iphone?
thanks,
-MO-

  • How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

    My Local iTune Store (Thailand) don't have iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch.
    How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

    What they have written to you is wrong.
    That download was available at all the online stores: if you looked at the main page of the Thai app store at the time it was released (and for a couple of weeks after) it clearly displayed a 3.0 update advertisement. I was able to update a 3G iPhone and a first generation iPod touch using my account on the Thai app store.
    Are you accessing the iTunes store, using iTunes (or the Thai online store at http://store.apple.com/th)? It is the one using iTunes that you need.
    What you need to do to download this, is to connect your iPod touch to the computer (your details do not say which computer or OS you use) and in the iTunes panel that opens, there is a button to check for updates (although the update may appear by itself). If this still reports that it is unavilable, let me know and I will ask someone.
    You will not be able to change your account, but there is nothing to prevent you setting up a new account in the US as long as (for purchasing) you use a US credit card.

  • Why can't I enable disk use on my Ipod touch?

    I wish to use my ipod touch as an external hard-drive. I have watched videos on how to go about it and they show that there is a greyed out check box that must be checked. This check box does not exist for me. Why not? and is it possible to enable disk use?
    MY ipod is an ipod touch 4th generation, 8gb, ios 6.1.6
    Itunes version - 11.1.5

    You just be looking at instructions for the older iPods. None of the iOS devices such as the iPod touch have ever supported disk use. There are third-party utilities that purport to provide workarounds to allow such use, but I have no experience with any of them so I can't make any recommendations.
    Regards.

  • Can the original iPhone be converted into an iPod Touch?

    For those of us replacing our iPhone with the new 3G iPhone, does Apple provide any kind of way to remove the phone features of the original iPhone to convert it into an iPod Touch?
    In this world of being environmentally friendly, this seems like a logical option that would generate additional income for Apple since they charge for iPod Touch major firmware upgrades.

  • Why can't I carry on using my 2009 iPod Touch and 4 iPod Nano's. I don't wan't to buy any new versions. More and more apps are incompatible with my iPod Touch. I can't upgrade the sofware beyond v. 5. I certainly won't purchase any other Apple devices.

    My advice to any customers: Don't buy new devices. Apple is not looking after customers properly. Not all of us can afford to purchase new devices.

    Complain to the developers. The make the apps incomaptible with previour versions.

  • How do I get my iphone to work like an ipod touch.

    Bought a used iphone to use as an ipod touch. I think it was jailbroken, because when I updated itunes, my ihpone will not work anymore. What do I do?

    You need a sim card installed in any iPhone in order to restore it in iTunes. You'll need a sim card from the carrier the phone is locked to or the last carrier the phone was used with. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

  • I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

    I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to my old phone?
    Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
    Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

    First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
    Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

    Only if Find My Phone was turned on & activated BEFORE your phone was lost. You can then login to iCloud.com & hopefully locate it. Otherwise, no.

    Can different chargers hurt the ipod? (Ex. iphone charger used on a ipod classic)

    I am pretty sure that it does not harm the ipod. I have been using my iphone charger on shuffles, nanos, touches, and ipads, kindles, and more  ever sense the iphone came out and i have never had any issues with any of them. You should be fine using them.

  • Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?

    Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?
    IPads and iPod Touches don't seem to have the same media copying restriction that my iPhone has. My main computer is at home. I have music at home and at work and sometimes I like to add it to my iPhone from work. I can do this no problem using my iPad or my iPod touch, but when it comes to my iPhone, I can only copy music to it from my main computer.
    Why would the iPhone have this restriction but not the other two devices?
    ps. Where's my "add currently playing song to playlist" button? I can't even find a third-party music app with this feature.

    Because...!
    I've no idea why either.
    Although it isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers (or manually manage an iPhone from more than one) it can be achieved if all computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?

  • If i buy an iphone, can i use it as ipod touch?

    Just a question asked by a noob. If i buy an iphone (more cheap) than an ipod touch, do i need to sign a contract to buy it?
    I'm mexican but i want an iphone only for the music and camera. Do i need to sign a cotnract o something like that.
    P.D Sorry for my bad english.

    You can use an iPhone just for music and the camera (as if permanantly in Airplane mode) if you want.
    I presume you mean you have the chance of buying a used iPhone more cheaply than an iPod touch, since retail price of an iPhone is still 2 or 3 times that of iPod touch.

  • Can't restore iphone 5 using itunes, what to do ???

    Can't restore iphone 5 using itunes. It asks for update of ios 7.0.4 while it is in the latest ios and once I start the update using itunes it doesn't complete. Stucks with lots of errors like, 3253, 9000 series. What to do???

    "1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.
    I did restore and update to iOS 7.0.4 but at the restore takes at the last 1% in the last moment of restore it will take loooong time then gave me error 3. And now for more than a month the iPhone stuck with recovery logo. Almost I tried every trick in the book . Change USB cable, port, PC. PC with other OS . Even freezing the iPhone as I read here noooooo result the same happened again and again."
    I have exactly the same problem with my iPhone 5s!
