How do I get my iphone to work like an ipod touch.

Bought a used iphone to use as an ipod touch. I think it was jailbroken, because when I updated itunes, my ihpone will not work anymore. What do I do?

You need a sim card installed in any iPhone in order to restore it in iTunes. You'll need a sim card from the carrier the phone is locked to or the last carrier the phone was used with. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

HT4623 how can i get my iphone to work without itunes

how can i get my iphone to work without itunes

You don't need a computer at all to activate and use a phone running iOS 5 or 6.
Turn it on, go through the activation steps on screen, and you're up and running.
Are you having some kind of problem you'd like help with, or is this just a hypothetical question?

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

I cant get my messaging to work on my ipod touch...can you help me?

how do i get the messaging to work on my ipod?

you have to apply Extension Manager 5.0.3 update. Apple made some API changes in Lion which causes Extension Manager CS5/5.5 crash. We released Extension Manager 5.0.3 and 5.5.3 update last April to solve this issue. You can apply this update via Adobe Application Manager. You can also click "Help"->"Updates..." menu item in Photoshop CS5, then update Extension Manager CS5 in popped up dialog box.
Each version of Extension Manager only installs/manages extensions for the same version of products. For example, Extension Manager CS5 only installs or manages extensions for Dreamweaver CS5, Photoshop CS5, InDesign CS5, etc. Extension Manager CC is only for Photoshop CC, etc.

How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned." I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile. I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number. But the person it says is not the person I said.
It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7. Then it went out the window. I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem. If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.

How do I make my old iphone work like an ipod touch without the sim card?

I upgraded to a 3G iPhone and love it. I want to be able to use my old iPhone like an iPod touch, but when I ran a sync it wouldn't let me do anything without a sim card and now it's useless and empty. Is there a way to bypass the activation and get it to sync to allow me to use the wireless functions and standard iPod functions? Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to these forums, so if this question has been asked and answered previously please just let me know.

There's ways to activate your phone to use it like an ipod, not available thru apple. It's really easy to do, if all you want to do is activate it without a SIM. Try googling for it.. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post a link or anything or if that's against the rules because it's not supported by apple... PM me if you want I guess and I can help or answer other questions.

How do I get downloaded games from itunes to my ipod touch?

I downloaded a few games for a trip I'm going on. I've looked through the manual, and I have tried, but I don't know how to get the games on my ipod touch?

They need to be downloaded from the App Store, and the iPod touch needs to be running version 2 or higher of the firmware.

How do you get the speck gemshell case off an ipod touch 5th generation

I am trying to get the speck gemshell case that I purchased along with the "new" ipod touch 5th generation. It seems like a solid piece of clear see-through piece of plastic and it will withstand lots of drops with the added "lips"on the front of the ipod touch (one reason why i got this case. The other reason was to have my red ipod seen by all who wish to look at it.) but my problem with it is that it seems "too solid". The case is hard to put on and REALLY hard to take off. I have read on some websites that you can take a credit card as a way of taking the case off but I want to figure out how to take it off without ruining my ipod or bending the case?

Contact the manufacturer
