Can I use my old iPhone 4S like an iPod touch?

Is it possible to restrict the Cellular network so that my iPhone 4s will effectively be an iPod? I am trying to give my old iPhone to my daughter for use as an iPod and do not what her to be able to use any cellular services.

See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406. All you need to do is make sure the SIM in the phone is no longer connected to cellular service.

How do I make my old iphone work like an ipod touch without the sim card?

I upgraded to a 3G iPhone and love it. I want to be able to use my old iPhone like an iPod touch, but when I ran a sync it wouldn't let me do anything without a sim card and now it's useless and empty. Is there a way to bypass the activation and get it to sync to allow me to use the wireless functions and standard iPod functions? Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to these forums, so if this question has been asked and answered previously please just let me know.

There's ways to activate your phone to use it like an ipod, not available thru apple. It's really easy to do, if all you want to do is activate it without a SIM. Try googling for it.. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post a link or anything or if that's against the rules because it's not supported by apple... PM me if you want I guess and I can help or answer other questions.

Can I use my old firewire charger with my iPod Touch

I've recently got an 8GB iPod Touch which obviously only came with a USB cable to charge and sync with my laptop.
However, I've also got an old 4th generation 20GB iPod which came with a firewire lead that connects to a firewire mains charger. Can I use this to charge my iPod touch from the mains? Also can I use either the firewire or the old USB cable to connect to my laptop??
Thanks very much.

You can use the firewire charger to connect your Touch to the mains. I use my old one and it works just fine. I suppose you can also use it to charge using your computer though I can't say I've tried. However, as the newer iPods don't have any kind of firewire circuitry, you can't use the firewire cable to sync you iPod.
Best of luck.

Can i use the new iphone 5c as a ipod touch

I want to buy the iphone 5c but only use it as a ipod and will i still be forced to pay monthly bills?

I believe it has to be activated by a cellular carrier upon purchase. I do know that after you've done this and have used it as a valid cell phone that it can be used as an "iPod touch" type of device with no further issues...I'm doing exactly that with an older iPhone 4.
See the following (this is for an iPhone 4S):

Seems as if it's possible but you'd need to buy the phone unlocked and contract-free. These can be very expensive.

Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City

Can I use my old iPhone 4s just for music

I got a new phone and wondered if I could use my old iPhone 4s as an iPod. It seems like I should be able to if I just erase everything and add music but I don't know if iTunes will recognize it as a phone or iPod or be weird. I hope this isn't a stupid question! i just have a really really old iPod that's totally full so it would be great to use my old phone!

Yes you can use it as an iPod. I use my old iPhone 4 as an iPod. When you restore an iPhone(on iTunes), it should still recognise the iPhone as an iPhone and go through the new phone set up process. Once you have set the phone up there is a message saying 'No sim card installed!' but you can ignore the message and use the phone as an iPod.

Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from I Tunes?

Sure, it will work just fine that way. Leave the deactivated sim in the phone, as you'll need it should you ever have to restore or upgrade the software on the phone. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim in the phone.

Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan

I want to use my old iPhone 3GS as an Ipod. Nothing is working?

I'm tired of wasting battery on my iPhone 4 to listen to music, so I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod. I read you had to have a sim card inserted in the phone, regardless if it's activated. So I put the old one inside, but when I connect it to my computer, it won't charge, or sync with iTunes. It's definitely not my charger because both of my phones charge in a wall outlet, and my iPhone 4 charges through the computer. Just not the iPhone 3GS.... I'm going on vacations with long car rides and would like to use this. Help please!

If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Nope. I've already turned off cellular data. It happens regardless, as soon as it is done powering on.
I suspect it might just be built into the phone's firmware to do that... and I have to hit "ignore" whenever it happens, but I just wanted confirmation of that...
