Can you put a microsim with no plan in the iPhone 5 to get passed the Activation Screen?

I use a blackberry and I only bought the iPhone for music, camera..etc, and as a back up phone. I just want to get rid of the activation screen for good.

I know but if I use it ONCE to activate my phone(lets say I borrow my friends nano sim), will it get passed the set up screen?

  • Can you restore a 3G with a 3GS restore?

    Can you restore a 3G with a 3GS restore?
    I have repeatedly setup the 3G as a new iPhone with the latest updates and when I attempt to restore from my 3GS backup, it keeps telling me that "The backup cannot be restored to this iPhone because the software on the iPhone is too old."
    If you're wondering why I am restoring my 3Gs to a 3G, it's because my phone was stolen and since I have been waiting for the highly anticipated new iPhone to come ou, it was suggested by my carrier (AT&T) to see if I have any friends who have phones I could use to save on cost (since you can only return within 30 days an no one knows when the new phone is coming out."
    Thanks in advance for anyone that can help with this restore!

    Unfortunately, I don't believe this will be possible. iTunes won't allow you to Restore from a backup of a higher version of iOS software than the "target" device is capable of. Since the 3GS was probably up to 4.3.4, and the highest possible on the 3G is lower than that (4.2.1?) it's going to continue to give you this error.
    Perhaps someone else can think of some kind of "unofficial" workaround, but I haven't heard of any. I have, however, seen iTunes throw errors after people have attempted to downgrade the iOS version and go backward... but in any case, even to try and downgrade, you would need to Restore legitimately to get the newer iOS backup operational and then try to downgrade it. Without a newer device, doesn't seem like that would work. =(

  • How many song can you put on your ipod with 16 gb

    how many song can you put on a 16 gb ipod

    With overhead for the software, the 16GB Nano has 14.88GB useable. I have 1,968 songs on mine, using 9.5GB, leaving 5.4 free. Assuming that all 1,968 songs are approximately the same length and size (which of course they aren't ), that would leave me room for ~1,118 more songs for a total of 3,086 songs.

  • Ibooks: how many books can you put in it

    Hello,
    I have an ipad 1 and since the latest update for ibooks, ibooks keeps loading my books (the wheel in the right corner keeps rolling).
    I use the ipad also as storage for all my e-books (i have more than 3000 books). I know E-readers are getting slow if you put too many books on it, but I thought it wouldn't be a problem for an ipad, since there is much more memory and gb on then on an e-reader.
    Does anybody knows if there is an limit on the amount of books you can load in ibooks? And if there is a limit, howmay books can you put on the ipad 1 without problems?
    thanks

    Unfortunately we must be the only ones with the problem so no hope for us friend unfortunately..
    In my case, it's an Ipad 2 , 64G no 3G which worked great.. Now, i don't remember when latest iBooks was updated, but today i realised my iBooks kept on refreshing forever and not showing ANY books.. (((((
    I also have many ebooks which is what's common in our cases.. Other than that, I tried everything, turning on off ipad, loading itunes and trying to throw some more books in there just in case, eventually deleting from ipad and installing again from itunes iBooks... NOTHING worked.. Unfortunately..
    I'm VERY disappointed since my ipad cost me about 720 euros and the PRIMARY reason i got it was about reading e-books... (on a sidenote when i purchased it I was shocked to see iBooks was not even already bundled in - thought it was a joke)..
    Hope someone from apple might read this and help us.. :////////////

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • Hey guy can you please help me with this issue PLEASE!

    Hey Apple can you please help me with this issue, i have a iPhone 3gs and when i put my sim card into the iPhone it makes iphone 3gs shut down suddenly how do i fix that?
    iPhone version: 6.0.1

    You could restarting your phone that sometimes fixes issues
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Can you put line break in text in the data box when creating a chart.  i.e. if you have a bar chart

    Can you put line break in text in the data box when creating a chart.
    i.e. if you have a bar chart with text underneath each bar, can you break it when you’re entering it instead of manually afterwards
    Thanks

  • Can you put the small DVD discs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

    Stupid question...can you put the small DVDs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

    That could be a challenge. If I am not mistaken that camera strictly records to DVD - RW and has no digital output connectors, is that right?
    My only experience with a camera like that was a bad one. I was able to get the video off the disc using a tray-loading iMac but it was painfully slow.
    iMovie (for example) is designed to work with camcorders such as those specified in this reference:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
    I cannot find the DCR-DVD92 in that database
    You might consider finding an external USB slot-loading DVD drive, but as I say my experience was painfully slow, and you might run into file format compatibility challenges.
    I am sure it's possible but it won't be as easy as importing video from something like an iPad or iPhone. I still use a camcorder on occasion but it has a FireWire port. That's easy.

  • Can you put multiple projects together in iMovie?

    I want to make a dvd that has several different iMovie projects on the dvd separated with Chapter markers. Can you put an existing project into another existing project in iMove and then mark the separation with Chapter markers? Then you can save it as one project and export it to iDVD.

    A better way is to create different iMovie projects, then export them as Quicktime files (best quality), import those files into a new iMovie project, make them different chapters, then to iDVD.

  • Can you put back the letter index to make selection of the files easy?

    I have well over 1000 pdf papers and it is tedious to scroll the list to find the right file to open.  The old versions had a column on the right with letters which act as an index, but with the recent upgrade or downgrade, that has somehow disappeared.
    Can you put it back?
    Thanks,
    Ziheng

    Thanks for your feedback. We are working with our designers to work out a solution.
    Meanwhile, please consider using Search on top of the file list to look for your documents. You can tap on the status bar to quickly navigate to the top, pull down the list to reveal the Search bar and type portions of your filename to search and open them.
    Thanks

  • Can you put the labview runtime engine in a vi?

    hello,
    can you put the labview runtime engine in a vi when you build an application or do you need to install it separately on each computer that is going to run a labview application?  thank you

    I found the tutorials in labview help pretty good
    Example: Building a Stand-Alone Application
    Example: Building an Installer (Windows)
    This certainly got me started working with the project explorer to build and deploy your application.
    Hope this helps

  • Can you gifting an app with your account balance

    Can you gifting an app with your account balance

    I think this is idiotic. I know MANY ppl who have to constantly change their passwords because their accounts have been compromised once and these ppl only use gift cards to put credit on their accounts. Why is it that ppl who dont have a credit card or want that information kept on file are being kept from gifting. If someone chooses to pay by CC then no prob but if Im not able because I dont have a CC or want Apple to store my CC information then Im screwed?? Isnt it illegal for a company to store CC information anyway?

    You are absolutely WRONG. Apple bears no responsibility in this at all. YOU purchased a STOLEN phone. You are guilty of receiving stolen property at best. Take it back to wherever you bought it and demand a refund. Failing that, turn it over to the police. You got ripped off. I'm sorry you wasted your money, but there is NOTHING Apple or anyone else can do for you. Only the rightful owner of the phone can unlock it.
