Can I still use my iPhone 4S with iOS 8 as an iPod Touch?

hello, I currently bought an iPhone 4S 32gb with iOS 8 on eBay and i realized it had already been reported stolen so I cannot use it as a phone but can use it as an iPod. If I restore it, would I be able to use it as an iPod again or will it leave me on the activation screen ? Please explain.

Because articles saying "Everything is fine; no problems," would be very short, far less sensational and would garner fewer viewers and less interesting comments.

  • Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

    HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

    Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
    For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
    For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
    I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

    Q: Can I still use Elements membership features with my previous version of Elements?
    A: Photo upload and auto-syncing and backup willonly be available until your photos have been moved to your new Revel account. We will notify you when your move is complete and you can access your photos on Revel. You will be able to view your Elements Organizer photos on Photoshop.com until the end of the transition period, when the storage and sharing service closes.

    I also had this problem. After the hint from jsher2000 above, I checked the add-ons.
    It's still called "AVG Safe Search" in the Add-ons Manager in Firefox. (Either under Tools/Add-ons or under the orange "Firefox": Add-ons (Or Ctrl-shift A)
    I found AVG Safe Search disabled in my list of add ons, and enabled it.
    Voila, the icons now appeared in the searches!

    Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before.  After that ... nothing.

    That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

  • Can you still restore an iPhone 4S to iOS 6?

    I'm trying to restore my AT&T 4S to complete the unlock process, but if I try to do it on iOS 6, it finishes with Error 3194 - the device is not eligible for the requested build.  It suggests upgrading iTunes, and when I do, it tries to force iOS 7 on me.
    Can I restore my phone without upgrading to iOS 7?

    No. If you restore, iOS 7.0.2 will be installed on your phone.

  • Can I still sync my iphone 4 in ios 7 to the latest itunes update?

    Right now my iTunes and my laptop can't detect my device (iphone 4), so I'm wondering if installing the latest iTunes update is the case. And I'm also worried if I do that, it will only prevent me from syncing my iphone to my iTunes. Help anyone?

    Hi ..
    An iPhone 4 cannot be updated to iOS 8 >   Apple - iOS 8 - What’s New
    iOS 7.1.2 is the latest version available for an iPhone 4.
    If iTunes doesn't recognize the iPhone ...
    For Mac >  iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    For Windows >  iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Make sure your computer meets the requiremens for iTunes for Mac or Windows >  Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
