Can I not have a telephone connection? i.e. just use the device as a PDA via wi-fi only?

Suppose that I don't want to get a SIM card, etc.... No telephone service at all.
Will the device function as a "micro-tablet computer/PDA" using only the wi-fi connection?

Hi!
You can use the phone without a sim card, the following will not work: Phone Application, Messages application, Usage application and settings that require a sim card.

Reset the SMC and then try a restart or shutdown from the drop down menus.

Then if that doesn't work, backup because you have an OS X issue that will require either a repair or reinstall.

Can I turn off my cellular connection completely but still use the gps?

On an old so, I forget which one, I used to be able to disable my cellular connection. I realise I can still do this with airplane mode but this stops the GPS working too. The main reason I want this as when I'm hiking I want to use my phone as a GPS device but without any signal my phones battery lasts about an hour. When I used to be able to disable it I could get a good 12+ hours of gps tracking.
Thanks

It that case I'll test an workaround this weekend to see if I'm able to use it more than one day:
Disable Auto Screen Brightness and set Brightness to minimum
Turn Off:
Data Connection
Wifi Connection
Under Location Services, turn off
Cell Network Search
Traffic
Above just to be safe because GSM services will not be initiated
Reboot phone
Not unlock the SIM card so the GSM services wil not start.
I'll let you know if there are some improvements and let's hope that Apple will allow us to turn off GSM services as well in the futures iOSes
Regads,

Can I have two apple id's but still use the same itunes

My mom just got an iPhone. We use the same iTunes but can we both have different Apple ID's and still use the same iTunes??

Log in and out of the iTunes Store as needed; content purchased from both can exist in the same library and on the same device.
If you've purchased an application under one ID, you may need to be logged into it to make in-app purchases. If the iTunes library contains protected content from more than five Apple IDs, iTunes may not allow devices to be fully synced.

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

How can I install Firefox on a server that does not have an internet connection?

I run Firefox on a server to display graphs for a program. I was able to save, upload and install Firefox version 21 on my server because it used the executable installation program. Versions 22 and 23 use a stub program that goes to the internet and installs the program. My server does not have an internet connection, so the stub program does not work. Can I get a copy of the executable program that installs the program without having an internet connection?

hello pkautzman, the full install packets that are capable of an offline installation are available at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/.

Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit. I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad. So incredibly frustrating. Apple please fix this.

Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

Bought an apple tv but my tv does not have a hdmi connection, is there an adapter I can purchase

I purchased an apple tv and hdmi adapter, but then realized my tv does not have an hdmi connection, is there an adapter I can purchase?

Yes. Get an adapter from the mini display port to HDMI and connect the HDMI cable to the TV. For audio you will need a separate connectors from you audio output port to the RCA connectors on the back of your TV. Use an extension and a 'Y' connector. If you MBP is a 2011 model then it will also transfer audio and a separate cable is not needed.
Ciao.

Hi all, I have lost my iPod 2 days back. As it does not have a network connection, I couldnot trace it out using Find my iPhone app. Can you suggest me other ways to trace my iPod?

Please help me in tracing my iPod Touch which went lost 2days back.

No app on the iOS device is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
Done
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse. Retrace your steps
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

why can I not make a secure connection using safari?

I have the exact same problem. I just updated to 4.3.3 and now my inline controls on my earphones don't work. The earphones work, but the controls don't. It doesn't even recognize that there is a mic attached. Even with the earphones in it still uses the built in mic. Why did my controls stop working?!

How many Samsung Stratosphere users do not have reliable network connectivity using hotspot or tethering?

I am on my 3rd phone in as little as 9 months because I have never been able to stay on the network using the hotspot or tethering. The network keeps disappearing and coing back on. I am in a 4 g area and right across the street from a main Verizon store. My antennae strength is full and my 4g indicator is on but it disappears so much that I cannot rely on network service with my phone. I actually went out and purchased a 4g aircard and that works just fine so I know its the phone and not the network. Its funny I keep getting put back into this phone when its the phone that has the problem. My salesman said after the 3rd phone you will be upgraded to the next best phone so hopefully Motorola Driod 4 will be the key top reliable network connectivity. I wish I knew how widespread this is or has been. I realize not a majority of Stratosphere users probably dont use the hotspot or tethering much but I use it or try to on a daily basis. I love the phone but not the hotspot or tethering capabilities. My newest phone never got any new apps or anything put on and it had problems outta the box.

This phone SUCKS period. I have only had it since July 27 and it has NEVER worked well. I was never told (of course other than small print) that I had two weeks to return and get a totally different phone if not happy. So the 15th day I found that out. They pulled my sim card it worked better for about one week. Than back to crap. So, I did a factory reset as they told me to. It worked for about another 2 weeks maybe. Now back to the same old thing again. Drops calls ALL THE TIME with full network strength I can here them they cannot here. Goes back to factory defaults all the time. Starts not ringing and going only into voice mail. Freezes up where you cannot even shut off, you have to take the battery out. Also, constantly loses connectivity even though it is showing 4G and all bars too.
Went in again to discuss this with them just today. HMM, first, if you go back to comolaints this has been a main complaint of this phone for a huge percentage of customers. Hmm, they are still selling it as a GREAT phone, that is what they said to me, ohhhh, no problems. Today they looked it up and supposabley says Samsung as of July 30th is aware of this problem and now has 90 days to fix it. Current fix. They SAY, pull the battery out EVERY night. Stuck with phone will not replace with a different model. Only same model. SUCKS...Oh and Verizon rep says to me " we are only the cell service. All warranty's are through your Samsung." Funny thing is. WHY are they still selling it on their shelf. I feel like sending a spy into tomorrow to same store and find out if they push the phone on them...BUSTED, I am sure they will. Meanwhile, it sure puts bumps in the road for our livelyhood if our only phone. Not work the retail value, so not buying my own phone to replace YET.
Good luck....Hopefully your third time is the charm and you will finally get a replacement for this Piece of CRAP.
