Can i use my iphone 4s to play games, surf internet and such without phone service? It says i need a sim insertwed to activate it.
recieved phone from a friend. I believe it to be a iphone 4s. I dont know from which carrier it originated CDMA or GSM.Turns on and begins setup. I enter my language and location , it begins to search for a wifi signal which is present then it says insert a valid sim card and it wont go any further than that. It tries to activate but then just says insert valid sim . I just want it too boot up so i can play games, apps, and surf web without phone service. Is that possible? I knowe it is because i used to do it with my wifes iphone 4s
You need a sim to activate an iPhone. The sim does not have to associated
with an active account; however, if the iPhone is locked to a wireless provider,
the sim must be from that wireless provider. Borrow an appropriate sim from
a friend/relative/co-worker for the few moments it will take to activate the iPhone.
You will need a sim in the iPhone to reactivate whenever you restore the iPhone
or update the iOS.
Call Apple to find the origin of the iPhone. You will need the serial number from
the back of the iPhone. Or ask your friend - he should know the details about an
iPhone he previously owned.

How can I use my iPhone 4 to view my iCloud photo and video files that I had from previous phones?
I want to view my saved to iTunes and or I cloud photos and videos, where do I go to see them and can I do it with my iPhone or do I need a pc?
iTunes is not a photo management application so no photo are saved to iTunes.
By videos, do you mean videos from iTunes or videos created with the iPhone?
If from iTunes, they can be downloaded and played on any iOS device.
If videos created with the iPhone, they are not synced to PhotoStream.
Pictures taken with an iOS device are uploaded to and viewable in PhotoStream on any iOS device, Mac, or Apple TV using the same Apple ID.
It is not currently possible to view a PhotoStream for a different Apple ID, but this will be changing with iOS7. -
CAN I USE OLD PS2 CONTROLLER TO PLAY GAMES ON IMAC?
Hi, I really want to dowload the star wars lego game for the imac but realise using th imac keyboard is not the best way to play. i ahve an original ps2 game controller with the square connector bit on the end and wondered if there is an adaptor for this to connect to a new imac 10.7?
Once you have a PSX to USB adapter just get the Joystick Mapper App from the App Store and configure the controller.
For the last part you can use step found here. -

serena86,
I want to provide you all of the information so you can unlock your iPhone 4s. The device must be active on a current line of service. The account must be in good payment standing.

If I dont have wifi at home, can i use my iphone 4s to connect to the router?
If I dont have wifi at home, can i use my iphone 4s to connect to the router and how?
A lot of routers have the network name (ssid) and security key (password) for their wi-fi function printed on a sticker on the bottom or back
It sounds like your uncle is talking about a router with a wps ( wi-fi protected setup) function where you can press a button on the pc and router and then the router sends the network info to the pc, well unfortunately this does not work with the iPhone, you will need the password.
Alternatively you can get the password by entering the routers internet based managment page by typing in its ip address into the address bar of your web browser ( usually this is somthing like 192.168.1.1 if this dosent work try googling the manufacturers name, model number and a query e.g. linksys 54geu router managment ip address? ) if after typing in the router management ip address you get a page asking for a user name and password try entering Admin for the username and password for the password ( these are somtimes used as defaults untill you log in and change them) if these dont work they have probably been changed. Once in the router management page go to the wireless section and you will find the network security key (password) in the security tab usually these are obscured as astrixes but ticking the show characters box will let you see them. -
Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?
Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod? Or is there some ap?
Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack. -
how can i how can I play itunes library on my IPHONE4 from IMAC using APPLE REMOTE? I can only use my iPhone 4 as a REMOTE to play itunes from IMac to APPLE TV.
You cannot. The remote app is exclusively for remotely controlling an apple tv for playback of a library on your computer. If you want to play your computer's music on your iPhone you just use home sharing on both devices and play the music in the Music app on your phone, not using the Remote app on your phone.

Can i use my iPhone as a wireless signature pad to sign a pdf thats on my imac5 or mac air
can i use my iphone as a wireless signature pad for a imac5 or mac book air to sign a pdf?
If you could get it to work the response lag between the iPhone and Mac mini would likely make the game play painful.

HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5
Can someone help? I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.
I have iphone 3 GS. I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed. All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone. It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc. when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again". Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up. Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed. I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing. don't know what's wrong with it.
