Can I use iphone 5 as a camera and ipod without activating the phone service

Can I buy a new Iphone 5 and use as a camera and Ipod, wtihout activating the phone?

Yes, you can. There still needs to be a SIM card in the phone if the phone hasn't been set up yet; the SIM does not have to be active.

Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account? Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

Hi,
How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
Thank you for your help in advance,

Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help thanks,

There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

Can I use my dad's computer and library to sync the new ringtone to my phone or no?

I am on vacation and am trying to download a different ringtone to my iPhone but since my home computer is a desktop and at home I am on my dad's computer and want to know if it is possible to sync a ringtone to my iPhone through my dad's computer. When I open up iTunes it is his library and I know there is no way to access my library but i downloaded the ringtone to his library and don't know what will happen if I try to sync. I don't want to because I don't know if it will put his information and music and apps on my phone and put all of my iPhone stuff on his computer. Essentially, can I use my dad's computer and library to sync the new ringtone to my phone or no? If so then how?

If you sync with his it will erase everything you put on your iPhone from your desktop computer and replace it with everything from your dad's computer.
I'd recommend waiting until you get home.

Can I use Lightroom on my mac and my pc at the same time with only one subscription?

Hello everyone,
for five months now I have a Creative Cloud subscription for Lightroom and Photoshop. Till now I was just using it on my PC. Now I've bought me a MAC and would like to install Lightroom on the MAC either. Do I need a second subscription for MAC or can I use my subscription on the MAC and PC simultaneously?
thx for feedback

If you are asking if you can be running the subscription software on the two machines at the same time, the answer to that is no. Per your license you can only be using one of the installations at a given time.
If you are asking if you can have the software installed and capable of being used on both machines then the answer is yes... you just cannot have both machines in use running the subscription software at the same time.

Can I use BOTH Verizon DSL Wireless AND DISHnet Wireless at the same time?

Waiting for Dishnet contract to die and rot away but about 2 months to go. Want to get with Verison Standard DSL Wireless as no data cap tho slower.
I can just wait till Dishnet dies and keep bumping into data caps with the Dish service OR can I get the DSL setup and use one connex for the iMac and one for the iPad without any conflicts?
I am so ignorant of technology that I see a Swing-a-Way hand crank can opener as a marvel of industrial magic,....so please talk simple words to me, :-)
Thanks
DH

Sign up for the fastest DSL package that you can. Even if the overall speed is slower, the fact that you won't be going over a satellite connection anymore should make the Internet *that* much faster. The Wireless Gateway should come included.
You can use both services at once, although note that determining how you plan to use both at the same time is going to be another story. Some people use Dual WAN routers (as in, routers that accept two Internet connections and can balance between the two). Others will use the connections separately, by moving devices between the two connections as needed.

I'm using iphone 4 but could not backup or update the phone. Am forced to restore the phone to factory settings. All it shows was a itunes and plug. What am i supposed to do?

I was prompted with the 'No Service' message. When i tried to switch it on again, it showed the iTunes icon and plug. When I tried connecting it to iTunes, I was prompt to restore the phone to factory settings. No updates or backup was allowed. What does this means? I have never done any backup for this phone. Someone please help.
Thank you.

Correct.
That is why it is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup on a regular basis... at least Weekly.

How can I remove iPhone from iCloud when I no longer have the phone?

I switched to a Samsung S4 from my old iPhone 4S, but now I can not get text messages from any of my contacts who have iPhones. One thing I read to do/try was to remove my iPhone from my iCloud, but I no longer have the phone...how can I do this from my iPad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iOS has got Messages app, which uses iMessage to send and receive messages. iMessage can only be used in iPhones, iPads, iPods touch and Macs, not on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
You need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to remove your iPhone's phone number from Messages. After getting one, open Settings > Messages > Send and Receive, and remove your phone number. After doing this, when one of your contacts choose your phone number in Messages app, it will send a SMS instead of an iMessage

HT201371 Can I use touch id for iTunes Store purchases without having a phone passcode turned on?

I really don't want a passcode but I love not having to enter my complex password on the small keyboard. Why does this option have to be linked to a passcode? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

From the article:
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
So yes, that's how it's designed. You must have a passcode, though as long as you understand the caveats:
In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:
After restarting your iPhone 5s
When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting
and
You can't use Touch ID for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately.
you should be able to use Touch ID without needing your passcode. If none of those circumstances is true and you're still being asked for your passcode to make a purchase from the iTunes Store, it would seem that something is amiss with your iPhone.

How to sync iPhone to (new) computer and keep everything on the phone saved?

I want to put music onto my iphone (the music is on my laptop, and on itunes).
When I connect my iphone to my laptop it asks me to set it up as a new iPhone.
I cannot risk losing any of my data on the phone (eg. contacts, messages, notes, apps, etc).
The phone is connected to my icloud account, and everything is checked to be saved on icloud.
On the computer there is no option to restore from the icloud account.
Do I restore from the icloud account via my phone (and then will it sync the music onto my phone via computer?)? Or set it up as a new iphone via my laptop?
The end result I need to have is for the phone to remain the same (apps, information, contacts, etc.), except with my music (that is on my laptop) playable in the music app.
Thanks so much in advance for any help that could be given!

If you haven't synced you phone with iTunes before the first thing iTunes will do is delete all iTunes media (apps, music, podcasts, etc.) from the phone, then replace it with the media in the iTunes library you are syncing with. Establishing syncing for the first time without losing your data has to be done carefully. This guide will give you the process for doing so: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. There is a related guide here as well: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991. However, as covered in these guides, only music purchased from iTunes can be transferred from your phone to your iTunes library. Transferring music from other sources from your phone requires 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.
Other options:
If all your music is purchased from iTunes, it can be download directly to your phone for free without syncing (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Another option to get your music without syncing is to subscribe to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). This will scan your iTunes library, match songs already in the iTunes store and upload any songs in your library not in the iTunes store, then make your entire music library (up to 25,000 songs) available to download from iCloud directly to your phone. (With iOS 6 due out next week on the 19th, iTunes Match songs can also be streamed to your phone without downloading and taking up space on your phone.)

Can adobe air send SMS on ios and android without opening the native sms app?

Is it possible to programatically create and send an SMS text message on android and ios using adobe AIR? I have had success using navigatetourl to create the sms message, but was curious to know if its something that AIR is capable of or if os-specific native development is required to accomplish this.
I'm using flash builder 4.6 and AIR 15.

Im not the best/smartest programmer in the world and I was able to eventually get it down. There are a decent number of tutorials that you can follow to get started on them. I originally followed Lee Brimelow's video tutorials on gotoandlearn.com but the interfaces for Eclipse have changed quite a bit since then and those videos were also done when Native Extensions were only part of a beta version of AIR, but you might still be able to take something away from them. Since I first started getting into Native Extensions, I have built several ANEs for Android including being able to detect phone calls, retrieve metadata for media files without having to have loaded/played them first, and more. The Android Java documentation portal and Stack Overflow will start to become your two best friends.

It says we can start reserving iphone 4s online at 9pm, but none of the phone is avaliable, did anyone successfully reserve one just now?

did anyone successfully reserve an iphone 4s just now?? i 've been trying since 9pm but it doesn't work!!

Same problem here in the UK, tried for over an hour last night to reserve but everything is unavailable. I can only imagine the reason this is, is because they don't have the stock in the store in the first place. I went to my local store yesterday morning to purchase one but was told about the reservation system. I queried that if you can reserve and pick one up the next day then surely you have them in stock now, so let me buy one, after all first come, first serverd:) Unfortunately no:(
