Can i use iphone as a usb or storage device

can i use iphone as a usb or storage device

No.
There are some 3rd party apps that provide for transferring select data via the iTunes sync process or via wi-fi when the computer and iPhone are connected to the same wi-fi network, but disk mode is not supported with the iPhone.

How can i use my ipod touch as a storage device/storing photos

The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear. I am runnin' the latest itunes version and the latest ipod touch software, by the way.
Secondly, i have some photos on my ipod touch which a friend of mine copied from his macbook pro. Now i would like to copy them on my computer. itunes doesn't offer any option for this.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thx in advance

*From the article*:
Products Affected
iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
Good luck,

Can I use a networked Macbook as a storage device?

I am needing to see if my idea will work and need some ideas.
I have a macbook in which the screen became damaged this summer. Everything else is running fine.
I am teaching Journalism and would like to use the macbook as a storage device for my students photos. I teach in a classroom with 14 Windows XP computers and they go to a switch, which in turn goes out to the network & Internet. I would like to plug the Macbook into the switch and have each one of the computers access it for the hard drive storage.
Is this a possibility? If so, does anyone have a website they can guide me to that would have directions on how to do this? I have done a search and the only thing I can find is making a server for your website. So, I am thinking that I must be searching the wrong terminology.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Let me just tell you how to set it up. On the Mac, do the following:
Go to the Apple Menu, then System Preferences, and select Sharing. Enter a computer name that doesn't have spaces in it for the sake of simplicity. Check the box for File Sharing, then click File Sharing. Click the Options button. Check the box for Share files and folders using SMB. Check the box for your user account, and enter your password. You can now exit System Preferences.
On the Windows PCs, go to Start, then Run, and type \\computername and hit enter. You should see Randy's Public Folder or something like that. Right click it and say "Map Network Drive." Check the box for Reconnect at Login, pick a drive letter and hit Finish. Tada!
So how do you use this? On the PCs, the drive you picked will be the public folder on your Mac. When students open the drive they'll be able to read (only) all the files in the public folder. They can write (only) to the Drop Box folder by dragging documents on top of it.
Now, if you have a PC you want to access this from yourself, you do the same thing but in the Map Network Drive you click the part for connecting as a different user and enter your Mac login credentials. Now you can read and write to the share on only that computer.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
-Ryan

Can I use the Time Capsule as a storage device for my Ipad?

I want to get an Ipad for my wife because all she does is surf the net, email, and photoshop pictures. Can I get an IPAD and a Time Capsule and use the Time Capsule as like a shared drive to push pictures from the Ipad to the Time Capsule?
I do not want to store the pictures on the Ipad

It is difficult unless you tell us what format the movies are in and what player you are using?
iTunes library will not really work. The TC is not a Media Player or Media related in any way at all.
But if you store movies in one of many different formats that are available and use a player on the ipad that can read and play those files, it can work.
So we cannot help you without info.. what source are the movies from? What format are they in? What player are you using?
How flexible are you?
Can anyone recommend what I need
In the apple world with itunes you need a computer (Mac or Windows) running iTunes with a disk available to it big enough to hold your library. And some sort of router to connect the ipad and the computer in the network.
Apple intends you to use itunes in homeshare.

Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

The iPod, iPad & iPhone cables are identical, however, the chargers are not.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Hope you can help.

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

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,
