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.

I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Just purchased an ipad, can I use the same charger as for my ipod touch?
I just purchased an Ipad2 and wonder if I can use the same charger for it as my Ipod touch uses?
I doubt it, as my ipod recharger doesn't seem to charge my iPad at all hence the (Not Charging) where the battery would be.
Hope this helps -
Can I use the ipad2 cable to synch my iPod touch
Thanks..
Yes.
All iOS devices use the same 30-pin Dock Connector for data transfer and charging, with the exception of the iPod shuffle and very old models of iPod (that haven't been around for seven or eight years) -
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.

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. -
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 buy the new iphone 5c and just use like a ipod since i do not want to activate it yet?
Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?
The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it. It doesn't need to be an active sim. Read this
USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
Restore your phone as new. Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone. Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages. Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields. Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406 -
I purchased an album and didn't receive all of the songs. I have iTunes 9.2.1 so I can't use the new 'Downloading past purchases" feature. How do I get the other songs? Using an Iphone 3Gs
Look under the Store menu in iTunes on your computer for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded.
If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form, or an "Email Us" button) and explain the problem to them.

Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?
Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac? I thinking of buying my first Time Capsule and wanted to get the new one. Is it reqiured for me to upgrade my OS first?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can use the Time Capsule with your iMac. The problem is that you need AirPort Utility 6.3 to set up the Time Capsule, and it needs OS X 10.7 or later.
If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can connect the Time Capsule to the power adapter, open Settings > Wi-Fi, and set up the Time Capsule through it. Then, you will be able to connect to the Time Capsule.
If you haven't got any other device, upgrade OS X. Open the Mac App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow its steps. After upgrading, open > Software Update, install AirPort Utility 6.3, open it in /Applications/Utilities and follow the steps to set up the Time Capsule -
Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose. -
Can I use the new Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter to download video from a video camera by firewire to my Macbook Air ?
Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

Can I use the new Bing Maps control released in Feb 2015 in my windows store app?
Can I use the new Bing Maps control released in Feb 2015 in my windows store app? If not, will there be a release of the store app version that has all or most of the updates that are in the new map control for WPF/Silverlight?
The FEB 2015 release was for the WPF map control which is for desktop only. There is an existing Bing Maps SDK for Windows Store apps which has a lot more functionality than the WPF map control already. You can find this SDK here:

You can find documentation this SDK here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846481.aspx
Also, I have written a free ebook on this SDK here:
