Can You Use The iPhone 4S As An Ipod Touch?

I'm just curious...
I currently have the ipod touch 3G and last weekend I found out that it won't be compatiable with iOS 6 and I'm gonna have to get a new ipod.
I want an iphone BUT do you need to activate it with a carrier (which I don't want) in order to use the itunes store/app store on it or can you just use it like you would an ipod touch?

You activate with Apple not a carrier but you do need "A" sim
in a new iPhone to activate the iPhone
The above link will help on using without a sim

  • Can't use the camera function in my ipod touch 4s while updated to iOS 6.0

    I can't use the camera function in my ipod touch 4s while updated to iOS 6.0.
    There is all black screen when I turn on my camera. 
    I open the restriction setting already.
    thank you.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can you use the iPhone wirelessly without activating AT&T?

    FIrst, I HATE AT&T, the coverage is awful and I am very happy with Verizon. I would like to use the iPhone as more of a PDA, and having a PDA with wireless connectivity would be great.
    Do you have to activate the phone plan, or can you just use it with a wireless connection?
    Any chance they will eventually offer it with other carriers?
    Thanks

    Well you can be sure Apple will not make a product for Verizon for at least five years, as that is how long its contract lasts with ATT. That contract prevents Apple from allowing the iPhone to work on anybody else's network, and from making any phones for non-GSM networks. The only other GSM network in the US is T-Mobil. SO I suspect Apple can make a non iPhone for T-Mobile before its deal with ATT expires.
    Also, you can try going to ATT and telling them you want the iPhone, however, you will not provide them your social security number, and ask are there any options available to you. They may tell you that you can use the iPhone as a Go-Phone (they are not adversing this, but it is in their policy manual). After a month, cancel the go phone service (as there is no contract). Also, ATT generally allows you to cancel a contract with 30 days. So they might just let you cancel the contract, and your iPhone will probably still work (the non phone features).

  • Can i use my iphone connection to run ipod touch

    Can i use my iphone connection to run my ipod touch.  My ipod has more memory and i have had it for a few years.  All good apps and info on it.  Can i use the phone connection to run my ipod.  ext maps/ gps

    GPS information cannot be output from the iPhone to any other device.
    The only way to get Internet access on the iPod Touch is via Wi-Fi.  To get a Wi-Fi signal from the iPhone it must be running iOS4 and be an iPhone4.  This would also require a tethering capable data plan from the carrier.
    A simpler solution would be to upgrade to a larger capacity iPhone like the 32GB model.  Then there is only one device to be carried.

  • Can you use the iPhone 6 Plus as a monitor for DSLRs?

    I just got my iPhone 6 Plus and it would be great to use its gorgeous display as a monitor for my Canon 5D mark III when filming on steadicam (the rear screen on the camera is generally not very useful for filming, so one needs a monitor).
    Is there a way to connect the 6 Plus to my 5DIII and have what the camera sees on my iPhone screen? And are there brackets to fix the iPhone onto the flash shoe?

    Nope.  As far I'm aware, the HDMI out from your camera will show content the camera has already taken, not a live view of shots.  It might show live video if you're shooting a video, but I think you want to use the camera screen as the LCD for photographs, right?  You download pictures to your iPhone via the Camera Connection kit and your memory card.  You can't connect a camera via chord to see what the camera sees.  There would be no way for Apple to incorporate software that works with every camera out there.  And there's no standard for using other devices as a monitor for cameras.
    Check with Canon or do a lookup in the App Store for Apps from Canon that are specifically for your 5d MarkIII.

  • Can you use an iTunes Giftcard to Purchase iPod Touch 2.0 Update?

    This might sound like a stupid question but i am wondering this because on the main page it says (Canada Store)
    "note that store credits cannot be applied toward this purchase"
    Help appreciated as I won't spend 20$ on a giftcard if it won't work
    Thanks

    If you are located in Canada, you cannot use an iTunes Gift Card to purchase the version 2.0 upgrade or any applications. You can use the gift card for music and video purchases. There were a number of threads about this right after the upgrade was released. According to one of the ones I read, it has to do with some provision in Canadian law. So, lobby your MP.
    Best of luck.

  • I can't use the swipe feature on my ipod touch 5. How can I fix this?

    My ipod touch 5, 28 GB will not allow me to swipe or scroll.  I have to tap the feature I want then a box appears around it & then I have to double-tap to get it to work.  I can't access anything that is not on the first screen because I can't scroll down.  I have no idea what to do to fix this. 

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • How can you get the serial number of your ipod touch when it has been lost?

  • 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.

    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
    http://www.macblend.com/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.

  • Can i use the iphone in Hong Kong?

    Can i use the iphone in Hong Kong?

    You can't use it in Hong Kong with a local carrier if your phone is carrier locked to your current carrier.  No info in your post to detemine whether that's the case.  You can use if you want to pay high roaming charges.
