Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it.  It doesn't need to be an active sim.  Read this
USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
Restore your phone as new.  Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone.  Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages.  Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields.  Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

  • I'm an existing Verizon customer eligible to upgrade my iPhone. Can I buy the new iPhone from any retailer or must I buy through Verizon ?

    I'm eligible to upgrade my current iPhone at a discount. I do want to stay with Verizon. Can I buy the new iPhone from any retailer or must I buy it through Verizon only ?

        Congrats on your upcoming upgrade yvon1012. This phone is awesome. You can buy it from any retailer and connect it to your Verizon account. Make sure this phone is compatible with our network. If you are eligible for a discount, you can purchase your new phone for a low amount via my verizon online http://bit.ly/xB4iTc  .

  • I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and use my old airport to extend my net?

    I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and extend my net?

    Things can get confusing pretty quickly since there are 3 different versions of the AirPort Express.
    If by "old", you mean you have Model No A1084 or A1088 AirPort Express (look at the label on the side of the device for the Model No), it cannot be used with the "Extend a wireless network" feature of other newer Apple routers.
    If your AirPort Extreme is "square" shaped with rounded corners, then the "old" AirPort Express will not work with your AirPort Extreme using the "Extend a wireless network" settings.
    You could use a "previous version" AirPort Express, Model No A1264 to "Extend", or the "new" AirPort Express, Model No A1392, for that purpose.
    If your AirPort Extreme is a simultaneous dual band product, then the "new" Express would be able to "extend" both bands.  The "previous" AirPort Express (Model A1264) would be able to extend only one band, since it is not a dual band device.

  • Can I buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany and hold the warranty for in Belgium?

    I want to buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany. Is there a problem when I use the iPhone in Belgium? I heard there is always a worldwide limited warranty of 1 year. Is this correct?

    If I don't have problems, there is no problem. But if I have a problem with the iPhone, can I go to an official Apple store in Belgium so they can send it to any place for repair?
    Apple in Belgium will handle the iPhone in exactly the same way had you purchased the iPhone in Belgium
    as long as it comes from another EU country .Apple do not repair they exchange for a refurbished unit if a warranty issue or charge for an Out of Warranty exchange  unit if you have damaged or caused the issue through misuse

    i just got the new iphone 5 and i can't download music from my 10.5.8 mac HELP!

    You would need to buy a new operating system (Snow leopard 10.6.x, or higher).
    Before doing that, it would be best to check to see if your Mac can run the higher operating system.
    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information into a reply here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

    Hey JustEhlan,
    Thanks for the question. When it comes to iPhone, very little is stored on the SIM card. Contacts, Photos, etc can be backed up with iTunes or iCloud and then transferred to a new device. For information on how to do so, see this resource:
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

  • I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS.  How can I transfer all my apps and data to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4.  If I do a restore of the iphone 3GS I only get the 3GS apps (i.e. no facetime)

    I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS.  How can I transfer all my apps including saved levels in games etc. and data and folders to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4. When I have done this for someone else they got all their data etc but lost the Face Time App and teh iphone 4 looked like the iphone 3 screen.

    There is no FaceTime app for the iphone, FaceTime is built into the iOS. Follow the directions here:

    Actually, in the US at least the website states
    You can recycle your iPhone at the Apple Retail Store and get immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.**

  • Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it in Spain?

    Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it normally in Spain?
    There are some problems now? Or forever?
    Thanks

    Currently, the iPhones available in the U.S. are locked to american carriers so they cannot be used with other carriers anywhere else.
    An Unlocked version of the iPhone should be released some time soon, though no actual date has been given yet.
    The Unlocked phone should let you use a sim from any carrier in the phone and have it work.
    However, it is up to the cell carriers in Spain wether or not they have Nano sims for sale to be used with an iPhone 5.  If they do you may be able to purchase an unlocked Phone and use a sim card from a carrier in spain.
    Talk to your carrier first to make sure they have Nano sims available for purchase.

  • Why can't I buy the new Iphone?

    Is anyone as ****** off as me that I cannot buy the new Iphone without paying $499? I purchased the first phone for $700, the second phone for $500 all on the day they came out. Now Apple will let anyone who didn't buy it before get it for $299 but I gotta pay $200 extra or wait till December. Way to **** off your core group. I plan on buying a new phone every year but if I have to wait till December I might as well wait till next June and get a phone that has 64Gigs of memory. Effectively this policy stinks and I'll spend less on apple products as a result. If anyone knows how to get a message through to the idiots who came out with this brilliant marketing strategy let me know.

    The first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way. The 8GB first generation iPhone retailed for $599 when first released, not $699, and Apple provided everyone who paid that price a $100 credit.
    The iPhone 3G was/is subsidized by AT&T. Since the first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way, all subscribers who purchased and activated a first generation iPhone qualified for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized price for the iPhone 3G when first released, or anytime thereafter. There may have been an exception such as someone purchasing another phone at AT&T's subsidized price within a month before the first generation iPhone was released and keeping the phone.
    This same applies to every carrier in regards to subsidized phones. You must fulfill your contract requirement for an existing subsidized phone before you qualify for upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with a new phone. Was the first generation iPhone your first cell phone and cellular service? If not, this should no be anything new.
    I was a Verizon subscriber for over 6 years before switching to AT&T before the iPhone was available. The entire time I was a Verizon subscriber, I didn't qualify for Verizon's upgrade or fully subsidized price with a new phone until the last 3 months of my 2 year contract for an existing subsidized phone. I got a new phone every 2 years basically, which is common. If I wanted a new phone every 12 months, I would have been required to pay the full retail sales price for the phone I wanted, or at a higher price that was not fully subsidized by Verizon.

  • I have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why? :(

    have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
    The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
    Best of luck.
