Can I use my original iPhone as an iPod after I upgrade to an iPhone 4?

I am upgrading my 1st gen iphone finally. Can it be used to listen to music and watch movies after I get my new iphone 4? It still works fine, just has a short battery life. I was hoping my daughter could use it as an "ipod" without the wifi.

Yes.

  • Can I use my original iphone 1 in foreign country?

    Can I use my original iphone 1 (cost $499) in foreign country?  Thanks.

    You can certainly use it.  You would need an international roaming plan.
    It is very unlikely that you can use a foreign SIM card.  Almost all, if not all, original iphones are carrier locked.
    Depending on in what country you reside, then your carrier may unlock it.  No U.S. carrier provides unlocking at all.

  • Can I use the original iphone in India, with a local simcard?

    I've got an old 8GB 2G iphone (the first model) bought in the UK. Roaming's turned on, and I'm currently using it as a phone in India with a UK number.
    However, now I've got an Indian simcard (Airtel) and I want to use it with my iphone. Will this work? And, as the phone doesn't have a UK sim in (I accessed the number online somehow, as per the instructions at the time), will I be able to get all my texts etc back when I want to switch back to the UK number?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Grace

    No, unless your phone was officially unlocked by the UK carrier it was originally locked to, and from your post stating you're roaming, it would appear your phone is not unlocked. The 2G iphone was only sold officially unlocked in France when it was introduced.

  • How do I use my original iphone for videos & apps only, not as phone

    I want to use my original iphone as a video and app player(not a phone) for my daughter, using my library of purchases on my account. I have an iphone 3G and my original iphone is not being used. How do I do this?

    After an iPhone is no longer activated, you can't install a firmware update or restore the iPhone with iTunes (which re-installs the firmware) since activation is required in order to do so.
    I'm not aware of a way to roll a restore back.
    If you have the SIM card that was used when this iPhone was activated, you can try inserting the SIM card and do another restore. Someone here reported that it is possible to install a firmware update or restore an iPhone with iTunes that is no longer activated as long as the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when activated is inserted.

  • Can I use unlocked(simfree) iPhone 5 of Hong Kong's one in India?

    can I use unlocked(simfree) iPhone 5 of Hong Kong's one in India?

    Because iPhone warranty/support has always been limited to country of original purchase(except for the EU). This has been true since the original iPhone was released in 2007. I can guarantee you that you will not receive any warranty or support for any iPhone, in India, that was not purchased from an official source in India. Even if you want to pay, they won't touch the phone. All they'll do is laugh & hand it back to you.
    Don't believe me? Try & see for yourself, but don't come back here complaining.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Last June, I bought an Iphone in France with Bouygues operator. As I have to leave for Thailand, I ask them to unlock my Iphone, I had to paid 70 euros for it. They asked me to wait about 1 week. I am now in Thailand. Yesterday, I plugged the Iphone to Itunes and I guess the unlock was done as my Iphone was updated. I bought a new SIM card from a thai company... and it doesn't work.
    I went to ask to some shop and they said that my version is 3.1.2 and in Thailand it's only 3.0...Is that the reason I can't get a thai SIM card? What should I do? How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

  • How can I use Siri for IPhone?

    How can I use Siri for IPhone?

    Siri only works on the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. If you have one of those devices, turn it on in Settings > General > Siri.
    If you need more info than that, ask in the Apple forums.

  • Can I use 2 different iPhones (and iTunes libraries) with one ATV2?  How?

    My wife and I just bought an ATV2. We both have and use iPhone 3Gs's. I installed the remote app on both phones, but I am only able to control the ATV2 with the first phone I synced with ATV2. It doesn't seem that ATV2 cares what library it links to since the user has to turn on "Home Sharing" in their individual iTunes account. ATV2 appears to be set up so that you can choose what library you want to use (Under the settings). So can I use two different iPhones with one ATV2?

    You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time. So both phones would need to be signed in under the same apple ID.

  • I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
    So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

  • Can I use my norwegian iPhone 4 in the US for a few weeks?

    Can I use my norwegian iPhone 4 in the US for a few weeks?

    So I have lived in Daegu, South Korea for 9 months now. And our iphones work perfectly.
    Thankfully we didn't sell our phones in NZ, I had a look online and NZ doesn't lock IPhones to their networks like other countries.
    We went to SKT (in Daegu / National University of Ed) and bought new simcards for $10 each.
    Then signed up for contract / plans.
    We pay roughly $50 a month for unlimited data, 200 minutes, 600 text messages.
    It costs $9 to roam overseas a day.
    We've managed to travel to Japan and Hongkong using our South Korean sims.
    It' been pretty succesful for us.
    All I can say is, do heaps of research peeps, and don't stress :-)
