Can i use my old 3g for my wife on itunes without disturbing my new iphone 4 info

having purchased a new iphone 4, am i able to use itunes separately on our laptop for my older Iphone 3g so my wife can use itunes to store her info for herself

Those will all work. I'd rather use the newer stuff, however, especially since all of those come in the box.

  • Can I use my old TC as extended wifi over my new TC?

    I just bought a 2TB TC, and it's working fine in bridge mode (because my provider uses NAT). My old 500MB TC (bought in 2008) is still working, so I wonder:
    1) If I can still use the old TC as an extended wifi. If so, how do I do it?
    2) If I can use the HD of the old TC as an extended HD, with my regular folders/subfolders/files on it.
    3) If I can access either my old or my new TC from a remote location over the Internet to get specific files. If so, how do I activate WAN? I can't see the setting on Airport Utility, though I've already enabled sharing there (on my new TC).
    Thanks for any advise. I'm a newbie in this.

    Success! I was able to:
    1) Reconfigure my old TC 500MB as an extended wireless network to my base station, a new TC 2TB, by following the instructions in the link you provided.
    2) Erase my old files in the TC 500MB and replace this with my directory. Now it will serve as my archives. I don't have to refurbish them often since my new TC 2TB now acts as my Time Machine.
    3) Make both the base station and extended WiFi work, and each of the disks of the old and new TC too!
    HOWEVER, here's the sad part:
    When I tried to connect to the old TC via Finder > Go > Connect to Server, I discovered that the address of my old TC is also dynamic, just like the address of my new TC.
    Ungh. What recourse do I have to this problem short of demanding a static address from my provider (which I don't think they'll give, since they think a static address will lead everyone to establish a server business)?
    Thanks in advance for whatever solution you might advise!

  • After complete reset of iPod after lockout,  I cannot retrieve old gamecenter ID.  how can I use my old account for gamecenter now that we have had to create a new username?

    We had to create a new username for gamecenter using the same apple ID.  We want to use the old gamecenter account....we have purchased in-app items for those games and now have no access to that account.  How can I fix this?  Or am I just out of luck and start over with the new username.....

    You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    To recovery use of that account:
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
    If not successful, contact iTunes

  • Lost my IPhone5-did not have IFind engaged-Can I use my old 3GS for temp use.

    Lost my IPhone5 looks like i did not have my find iphone engaged. So no way in tracking the phone are  any of those third party apps able to locate my device beside the NSA or apple. who are unwilling
    I have my  icloud syncronzied with my contacts, is keeping me alive but my mac book pro is out dated is out  i dont sync to that.
    So my question i still have my  oldIpnone 3GS. Can I reactiveate this hardware device to replace my lost one, to keep me temporaly up and going?

    if apple tracked devices they would be in big trouble
    the phone can always be tracked using the IMEI number and tri connection tower calucations police use this in cases of missing persons they need to present a warrent to get the carriers to track them though
    and it's a costly thing so doubt they would do it on account of a stolen phone
    you can use your old phone if it's gsm by putting in a sim card from the carrier if it's not gsm but cmda then you should talk to the carrier
    you can restore the iphone 3gs with the backup of the newer ios version but you can use the same appleID and access apps tied to it

  • Can I use my old accessories for a 40GB (4G) iPod with new 160GB iPod Classic?

    I just purchased a 160GB (7G) iPod Classic. I had been using a 40GB (4G) iPod.
    The male connectors on  the accessories I used with my 40GB iPod seem to fit into the female connector on my new 160 GB. So, I am wondering if I can use these old accessories with my new 160GB iPod Classic. The old accessories I used with my 40GB (4G) iPod are as follows.
    1) Wall charger made by Apple. It has a firewire connection at one end of the charger cord which connects to  the small white plastic box of the charger that plugs into the wall. The other end of the charger cord seems to fit my iPod 160GB Classic.
    2) Dock made by Apple. It uses a firewire connection cord to my computer, in contrast to the USB connection cord that came with my 160GB iPod Classic.
    3) Car chargers that worked with my old 40GB, 4G  iPod. The car charger connectors seems to fit my new 160GB iPod Classic. One car charger is made by Apple. The other is not made by Apple.
    So, could you please tell me if I can use any or all of these old accessories with my new 160GB Classic without damaging it.
    Thanks.
    Richard

  • How can I use an iPod nano to obtain music from iTunes without an email account?

    I recently gave my 9 year old grandson an iPod Nano for Xmas.  He does not have an email account and his parents don't want him to have one, which I think is a good idea.
    When I purchased the iPod the salesperson told me that it was possible to download music/set up an account, without a valid email account, but I don't remember the details.
    Some direction to address this issue would be great.

    If you are going to purchase music on a computer for him from the iTunes Store then it is necessary to set up an iTunes account which will require an email address. It does not have to be his, you can use the parents iTunes account if they have one.
    But you can use the Nano without music from the iTunes Store. Just rip music from CDs the parents own into iTunes and sync those to the Nano.
    Here is the manual for the Nano: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_nano_6thgen_User_Guide.pdf

  • Can i use and old ipod for time machine backups?

    i've reformatted the ipod and enabled it for use as a hard drive. will it work with time machine? time machine doesn't seem to be recognizing it...

    Generally I wouldn't rely on the iPod for backing up because of how power and caching is taken care of on the iPod. Small files is one thing. But the spin up and down of the iPod can make backups unreliable if done of a system as a whole.

  • How can I use an external player for MP3 and MP4 fomats without disabling native HTML5 playback support for mpeg formats that are embedded in webpages?

    The Application options were poorly implemented, resulting in multiple instances of handlers for some formats in a long and confusing list. Now Mozilla seems to have solved that problem by preventing users from choosing how various media formats are to be handled -- the cure is worse than the disease! I am getting damned tired of researches into how this or that poor new decision in Firefox's development can be overruled, circumvented, or lived with. How can I choose how an .mp3 file is to be played, and what is going on at Mozilla that I have to ask?

    Right-click the link and choose Save Link As to download the file. Afterwards, click the Downloads button on the navigation toolbar and left-click the downloaded file. This will open it with the associated application.
    * [[Find and manage downloaded files]]
    Setting ''media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone'' to '''false''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] is the only way to prevent files like MP4 and MP3 being played inside the browser when left-clicking the links, until the preferences for handling such files are properly fixed at some point in the future. That will happen whenever a developer finds the time to write a patch.

  • I can't use my iPad message for texting.  Am I required to have an iPhone to use this service?

    I used to have an iPhone but switched to the dark side and went with a Samsung Galaxy Zoom (yes an android)  I used to be able to receive and send text on my iPad.  I no longer can receive text.  Am I required to have an iPhone to do so?  I backup my iPad on iCloud and have my email associated with it.  But everytime I go to text I get an error message.

    and other people who text me their messages show up on my iPad.  But there are others who are not showign up on the message when they send to me.  So puzzled as to why I can't send out and why some messages come through iPad and others do not.

  • HT4914 Can you use I tunes match for movies saved within iTunes?

    Thinking about joining iTunes Match but does it Orkney for movies as well as songs?

    When importing songs into imovie, iTunes Match songs may appear to be unavailable. This is because you cannot import songs that are not stored locally on your device.
    To import an iTunes Match song you must download it first. To download a song:
    Open the Itunes
    Go to the Albums view.
    Click the Download from iCloud button on the top right of each album cover
                             4. Once the song is downloaded you can import it into imovie.
    Hope this helps

  • Can i use a allredy existing SIM-card from a "Sony" mobil in the new iPhone 5s?

    Can someone answer me?

    As long as it's from the same wireless carrier and the same size, yes.  You provided no other information, so the advice you'll get will be limited.

  • Can I use my old g5 tower as a scratch disk for my Macbook Pro for Photoshop?

    I just made the laptop jump away from towers and am a little shocked by how much difference a smaller scratch disk makes. Can I use my old tower as a scratch disk to help out my new Macbook Pro?
    Any other tweaks I can do to speed up large files in Photoshop? Should I bump up the ram usage by Photoshop above the recommened percentage?

    Hm. It sounds like you know what you are talking about, and apparently I don't. I was just going to plug in a firewire cable to both and hoped that magically scratch disk would appear as an option for my tower.
    Cant I somehow boot the tower as using as a hardrive only? Or applesharing or something else?
