Dropped iP3g in water, want to use now as iPod touch.

this was months ago and I did crack the case. it works except for a couple of issues. sound doesn't always work, keep getting "accessory not optimal message" even though nothing plugged in and the wifi connection is fair. It's for my daughter who i am not ready to spend $$ for new ipod touch. question. is it worth looking to repair it. does apple charge crazy service rates? Thanks!!

It would be $149. In the U.S:

I have an old iphone 3G that I want to use as an ipod touch. It does have a sim card and it has been reset but for some reason it will not pick up my wireless network, or any other wireless network. What is the problem?

You have to ignore talhakhan99's suggestion at all costs.
Jailbreaking violates Apple's Terms of Use and this forum can offer no help or support for jailbroken devices. You risk making your iPhone completely useless. If you wish, you can read Apple's thoughts on this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 .
I feel confident that this thread will be removed shortly as a consequence of talhakhan99's coments.
As for you actual question about texting on an iPhone, it should be reasonably easy to work out how to do it if ytou are already familiar with texting on phones.

I have a first generation iphone, just want to use it as ipod touch, no calling. stuck on usb to itunes/emerency call screens. how to proceed to fix....thanks

I think it has been jailbroken and restored previously. Some forums suggest that this may be the problem. Is there an easy way to get it to just work like an ipod touch. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try this way:
Learn how to set up your old iPhone like an iPod touch (without a carrier plan).
If this does not work, jailbreaking made your phone useless.

The computer that I original used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching and backing up to a new computer. I had to restore the software to this ipod. I can drop and drag my tunes back into the ipod, but not my apps.

I have no problem doing this with other ipods that I have synced and backed up to this computer.

What do you mean it isn't' compatible? What isn't compatible?
There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account. Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

IPhone 3S was used with Bell, then unlocked to use with Rogers. Now I want to use it as iPod (Don't want to activate as phone),but when connecting to iTunes I'm getting message: There is no SIM card, disconnect and insert new SIM card. Help?

I have an old iPhone 3S, that was used with Bell. My friend lost her phone and I lend her this one, which she unlock to use with Rogers. I got it back and want to use as an iPod not the phone, but when I connected to iTunes I am getting this message: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please diconnect and insert a SIM card".
I went to Bell and Rogers where we tried inserting active cards but message never changed.
On the phone itself I am able to get wifi but finish with "Your phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporary anavailable."
I run diagnostic from iTunes:everything is working properly, only message out of normal is "iTunes is not running in safe mode"
How can I sinc this phone with iTunes, so I can use it to lisen to music?
Any help will be apriacieted

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4

In order to run iTunes 10 you need OSX 10.5 or greater. You will have to upgrade your operating system, if that is possible. What you can do to upgrade will depend upon your computer and software you run. To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

Using my new ipod touch as a PDA

I received an Ipod touch 8GB for Christmas from my husband and I believe he intended for me to be able to use this as a replacement for my Windows Based PDA by Toshiba. I have used a Windows based PDA for many years and really need to have the ability to manipulate MS Office documents, as well as utilize cut, copy, and paste within these documents and applications. I think his main idea was that it has internet access, that needs to be connected via a WiFi hotspot or my home network, which I did not have with my older PDA. I also do not like to look at this tiny screen for internet use, it just doesn't make sense if I have to scroll around to read whatever is on the screen, I'd rather just have it all right there on one larger screen so I don't get carpal tunnel and/or bad eyesight. Also, I need to have access to the files without having internet access, as I have been advised I can use GoogleDocs, but I don't think that I could still manipulate the data even if I store them there.
I was able to sync my contacts and calendar, but without any categories! This is very inefficient for me as I work for a company and am self-employed and have a lot of personal contact information as well, and need to separate out my contact lists. My husband utilizes the same contact files as I do and he ends up syncing the whole contact list over as well (I got him an ipod touch 8GB also). I can not select multiple contacts, or any other multiple list, such as bookmarks, and delete a batch of them, like I can within Windows. I do intend to purchase an Apple based computer in the future, but for now, I need to have the functionality to use with my current applications. This still does not solve the problem with multiple select or copy/paste, mainly because the touch screen moves with my finger movement, so I cannot scroll to select multiple items.
Besides this being a really expensive music and game player with internet access?, I'm really not very happy with the functionality this has to offer for a PDA, so now I get to carry 3 gadgets with me (my phone, PDA, and now my ipod touch).
If any of these issues can be addressed and hopefully solved, can you please tell me what else I can do to make this work better for me. Thanks for listening!

I do not find the Touch is a very efficient PDA for the reasons you have identified. It is essentially a high end media player with enhancements. The calendar is lacking, unable to mass email a contact list unless selecting each one (essentially a contact list on the Touch is just a visual group list with no functionality beyond that, what is the sense of that?).
People will direct you to acquire apps that do add some function, but still lacking in some very basic elements for on the fly document and task management.
Apparently although I have not subscribed, Mobile Me adds to the depth of the on board calendar and email functions allowing you to coordinate and syncronize your Outlook environment and content with your Touch or Iphone, but honestly it is more of a personal data management tool than a business tool. Plus when released over the summer integration with Apples previous service was flawed and the the whole interface crashed for both old users being transferred and new users subscribing.
To me sounds like you should check out competitors (am I allowed to say Blackberry here?)

My 10 yr old wants to text from his iPod touch. We have 1 family Apple ID. How can I monitor his texts without receiving all of his friends messages? Do I need a separate Apple ID or can I link a new email address to the same Apple ID?
