Can you use a deactivated iphone 4 for texting/facetiming while connected to wifi?

I gave my bf my old iphone 4 to use just to text and facetime me because his ipod screen is cracked and really hard to use. But when he tries to text or facetime me while using my old (deactivated) iphone, it doesn't send.

Hi there Shawncey808,
As long as the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network, you should be able to use use FaceTime and iMessage normally. The articles below have troubleshooting steps for both FaceTime and iMessages, but I would start by verifying the Wi-Fi connection with the first article.

Hope that helps,

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

HT204053 Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices ?

I have an MacPro and I am buying an iPad. Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices or should I create an new AppleID for the ipad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Apple ID purpose is to have the same data in all your devices and share your purchases among all your devices, so you can use your Apple ID in both devices

HT4759 can you use the same apple id for two phones on the cloud?

can you use the same apple id for two phones on the same verizon account and if so can you keep there contacts etc. separate?

If you want to keep your contacts and other data you sync with iCloud separate, you'll have to create separate iCloud accounts, which will require different IDs. If you share the same iCloud account/ID on multiple devices, the synced data will be merged and will appear on all devices syncing with the shared account.
You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the one used for iCloud.

Can you use a US iPhone in the UK

can you use a US iphon e in the UK

You shouldn't have a problem, I would think it would work, as long as it's a GSM (AT&T) model. It should just be a matter of swaping out the SIM cards.

Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup

Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

Can you use find my iphone on a pc

I have down loaded find my iphone on my ipod touch.i thoght it is no use having it unless i could get it on my pc computer.so can you get find my iphone on a pc

You don't need the Find My iPhone app. You need to turn on Find my iPod in Settings > iCloud on your iPod. Then to locate your iPod from your PC, go to https://icloud.com and follow instructions.

Can you use find my iPhone with iPad and iPhone and the same icloud account for both?

I have an iPhone and iPad. I use find my iPhone for both. If I use the same icloud account for both, how do I separate them on the map, or if I lose one and want to remote wipe the lost one but not the one in my possession?

It will list each device separately, I even have two macs along with my ipad listed

Can you use a HDD as storage for Win 7 and Mountain Lion installed on a separate SSD?

I replaced the stock 500 GB HDD on my 15 inch 2012 Macbook Pro with a 128 GB SSD, but I need more storage. I've also installed Windows 7 on the SSD on a partition via Bootcamp. My question is, can I install the HDD in the optical drive bay using a caddy and can I use the it's 500 GB as storage for both operating systems? Thank you.

You can do that without any problem, and that's what most people do. You will only need to format the HDD with exFAT or FAT32 (do it on Windows), and it will be read by Windows and OS X

Can you use Find/Change to search for many different words at once?

I have an 80 page catalogue in Indesign (CS5) - it has several thousands of catalogue numbers listed as text within it. I've just been given a list of 1000 catalogue numbers to search for and if they appear, remove them - is there any way to search for them all in one go, rather than one by one?
I've started using Find/Change to search for the catalogue numbers but seem to only be able to search one catalogue number at a time that way.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks

GREP can search for more than one phrase "at once" (i.e., in one operation), like this:
word1|word2|word3
-- the pipe | delimits the separate words. Then again, GREP Is Not Magic™. This --
... a list of 1000 catalogue numbers to search for ...
is a bit too much to copy-and-paste into the single Find What line. There is a limit of ten or twelve (or something) OR phrases you can use in GREP.
On the other hand: GREP is great at finding numbers. If all of your catalogue numbers obey some basic rule, for instance "all of them consist of 6 digits and there are no other numbers with exactly 6 digits", well, that we can probably work with.

Can you use Appletv with iPhone only?

A friend has an iPhone, no Mac, still running a pc. Wants to get an ATV2. Can she use it with just an iPhone?

She can use it with iTunes on the PC.
Renting movies/internet based functions do not require a computer at all.
An iPhone 4 (and 3GS I think) can send compatible media to AppleTV2 via the Airplay function - computer not essential for this.

HT1222 Can you use the same authorization code for QT Pro on two computers? Or do you have to buy a code for each computer

I have two computers a laptop and my Video Editing computer can I use the same activation code on both?

An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
To create an Apple ID you need to enter your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

Can you use iBooks Author to create for Newsstand

Hi.If you create a book or magazine with iBooks Author can you then put it on Newsstand as well or would it need to be in a different format? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you'd need to not only pay the annual USD$99 fee, you'd need to either have or develop the necessary skils....it's not what I would call a trivial effort, tho, so be prepared for a steep learning curve.
The term 'app' is a general term for iOS applications, which can take many forms. An app that specifically targets Newsstand on your device would be configured by a dev to tell iOS about itself, etc. so that it works as intended. In general terms, the work to get it into the store is the same as any other app, but again, it won't reside on the homescreen on it's own...it will be found inside Newsstand the app.
