Finally Got iPhone 3GS - can I use my old (1st gen) iPhone as iPod Touch?

Got my new 3GS this morning - now looking to see if I can get any use from the old 1st gen iPhone it replaces.
Is it possible to run a 1st generation iPhone without a SIM, so that it functions like an iPod Touch? The only functions I need on the old one are iPod related - play music, video - I don't mind losing apps, internet etc.
Any ideas?

  • Can I use my old firewire charger with my iPod Touch

    I've recently got an 8GB iPod Touch which obviously only came with a USB cable to charge and sync with my laptop.
    However, I've also got an old 4th generation 20GB iPod which came with a firewire lead that connects to a firewire mains charger. Can I use this to charge my iPod touch from the mains? Also can I use either the firewire or the old USB cable to connect to my laptop??
    Thanks very much.

    You can use the firewire charger to connect your Touch to the mains. I use my old one and it works just fine. I suppose you can also use it to charge using your computer though I can't say I've tried. However, as the newer iPods don't have any kind of firewire circuitry, you can't use the firewire cable to sync you iPod.
    Best of luck.

  • Can i use all ios 5 features on my ipod touch 4g

    can i use all ios 5 features on my ipod touch 4g?

    Since we are all only end users here like yourself, we would know of no such information.  All we know is that iOS 5 will be compatible with your 4G iPod Touch.

    Can I use Bluetooth 3.0 headphone on the iPod Touch 5th Generation which has Bluetooth Blue 4.0?  This will be a first time purchase of a headphone, (preferably behind the head, earbuds) mostly likely from an on-line store.  Any recommendations?

    Yes, it is backwards compatible.

  • Can I use my iPad (1st gen) with apple tv (2nd gen) for things such as air play and mirroring?

    Can I use my iPad 1st generation on a apple tv 2 generation for things such as AirPlay and mirroring
    I'm thinking about getting a new apple tv but it's pointless if iPad doesn't mirror or AirPlay, cheers guys.
    I understand the 2nd generation works.

    No. There are some apps that allow you to control the laptop remotely from an iPad, however, but that doesn't sound like what you need.

  • Can I use to Apple IDs to one device (iPod touch)?

    Hi,
    I have just bought a new iPod touch and cannot decide how to use it with iTunes. This is the situation. I have iTunes installed on my lap top and one Apple ID registered for my iPod shuffle. My wife has an iPad and an iPhone and she usually sync it with our home PC (where we have more music). She has her own Apple ID which she uses to purchase apps etc. Now, my question is how I can switch between the different computers. If I connect my new iPod touch to my Apple ID and download music from my lap top, can I also connect mu iPod touch to our home computer and download music and apps also from there?

    iDevices only sync with one computer... any attempts to sync with a  different computer will result in the media already on the device being wiped and replaced with media from the new computer.
    This has nothing to do with how many Apple ID's are associated with the device.  It is possible to use multiple Apple ID's on a single device for syncing different media and apps.

  • Can I use iPad's 10w adapter to charge iPod Touch 4th Gen.

    I just want to know is it safe to charge my iPod touch 4 and iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen with an iPad adapter. And will the 10w damage my battery in any way? Thanks!

    I found this answer in the Apple Store/Product Details page:           can I use this 10W adapter to charge my iphone or ipod as well?        
    According to Apple it is at least compatible to the iPhone4: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC359LL/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjA&mco=MTc0NzA4NzA

  • 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

  • Which device, such as a phone, can i use to get Wi Fi to my iPod Touch?

    There's no any kind of wireless Hot Spots or wireless connections at my work so i am looking for a device that will get Wi Fi to my iPod Touch.
    I am guessing a Cell Phone would be an ideal solution, if so then which one, and will it work with T Mobile?
    Currently i have a Blackberry Pearl 8100
    Thanks, any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

    No this won't work, unless you can find a cell phone that is also a wi-fi access point. I have never seen such a thing. Less than three hours ago someone posted this on this very forum:

  • Can't reinstall the old iOS 5 on my iPod touch 4th G.

    Nothing works great on my iPod touch with the nes iOS 6. The multitasking doesn't work right anymore and also the new Maps App is a sickness. The fakt is I want iOS 5 back on my iPod touch 4th generation but when I try to insatll it, iTunes tels me always the same error message (3194). Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately there are no "Authorized" methods to do this. the best thing i can say is that i would google your question. there are several sites that can walk you through how to do it. but as always... do at your own risk. as for the maps, with anything, give it time. it will improve, and for most, the maps work just fine, you just happen to have uses for it hat most dont use. I would try looking up some other map apps on the store. i found one for you to check out. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/maps+/id416753449?mt=8    it looks decent. hopefully others will come out to replace what was lost.
    As far as the multitasking, what is wrong?

  • Can I use 2 different iTunes accounts on one iPod touch?

    It is my daughters iPod that is linked to my iTunes account for purchases. I want her to use her own email (or iTunes account) for FaceTime and Messaging. We had this system working at one time, but now her FaceTime and Messaging are linked to my iTunes account.

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    If you want to use here new ID for purchases note:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    Also note the 90 day time period specified here. It concerns some iCloud services

  • Can I use Google Translate in France on my iPod touch?  Will I be able to access Internet abroad and therefore use software?

         Will I be able to use Google translate app in France?  Can I just access Internet abroad?  Any directives?

    You can check if the app does require internet by going into airplane mode or turning off WiFi and re launching the app. If it does not work, google "offline translater app for iOS".

  • Can I use Airport Express (1st gen.) as a wired access point to my wifi Network

    Guys
    I'm using 10.8.4 with the older 6.3 airport utility. I have a Airport Express A1084 (1st. Gen).
    I'm trying to use it, connected to my wireless network, but have a wired ethernet cable from the Airport Express connected to a device. I tried connecting via wire to another laptop to access the web and it doesn't work.
    Any ideas if I can even do this, or do I just buy a new Express Airport. I just want to extend the network using my wireless to a wired device, but don't want to run a cable, because of the distance.
    Thank you
    John

    Bob, I hope you can help me too.  I have 4th generation (? - the flat, square model that was recently replaced) Time Capsule/Airport that I bought to extend my Verizon DSL dry loop modem/wireless signal througout the house and to the guest house.  I now know that it cannot be achieved due to Apple negligence in informing customers that the capsule will only extend from another apple airport product. 
    My question:
    Should I connect it via ethernet to my DSL modem and create a new network, but use the SAME network name, passcodes, etc?  Will that Strengthen my existing wireless signal or will both machines butt heads and duke it out, so to speak?
    B/C, I did have two separate networks going for about a year, different names for each network, and suddenly, the wireless part of the Verizon DSL modem died, and Verizon replaced the entire modem with the Actiontec modem.  So I am concerned that reconnecting the Time Capsule/Airport may damage teh Verizon modem, if that is why just the wireless part of the previous modem failed. 
    Suffice it to say, am very disappointed in the Time Capsule/Airport.  It replaced an older, bigger Western Digital external hard drive that was so easy to use and reliable; am still using it, but it has no wireless signal boost capability, so I purchased the Time Capsule/Airport. 
    Thank you for your help.

  • 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)
