How do i use itunes on a 3g without a sim card?

I reset my iphone 3g to factory settings to give to my son to use as an ipod.  Now it will not function at all becasue it has no sim card.  (My other son removed it when he visited here and used the phone.)  I was told to put in a sim card from my iphone 4S (now my ipod) or my iphone 6, but neither of these two sim cards are the sam size as the iphone 3G.
How can I get this 3G to work again?

  • How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

    how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

    You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to.  With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password.  That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

  • Using an N95 and SIP without a SIM card

    Hello All,
    I recently upgraded to a N95 (S/W V20.0.016). As soon as I got the phone I configured it to use SIP through my home wireless point to my asterisk server. All worked well with the phone auto-connecting to my wireless network, registering with asterisk and making and receiveing calls.
    Then (after a botched change to my plan) my carrier deregistered the SIM card. The phone complained about "No SIM registration" which was fair enough, but I noticed all the menu options about making an Internet call had disapeared. When I check the SIP status the phone claims it's registered, but the menu no longer allows you to make an Internet call - is this a bug or expected behaviour?
    I also note if you take the SIM out the phone asks if you want to continue in Offline mode. If you say yes, then again there are no options to allow an Internet call.
    I can see several cases where you may not have mobile coverage but can get to a wifi access point where I would like to be able to make a SIP based call, but the phone doesn't allow it.
    Bug or feature?
    Thanks,
    John

    Perhaps, try and see...like I said, you cannot restore or update software without a sim card present in the iphone. Since it appears that this iphone was last activated on the AT&T network, your Cingular sim "may" work...no guarantees that it will. If it doesn't, you'll have to get one from an AT&T store, again, it need not be activated...just has to be valid.

    I you say Connect to your computer and check it on your iTunes Sorry to say but I don't Have Any Valid Sim Card For my iPhone and the only thing I can see is my IMEI by pressing the Letter i when I open my iPhone

    You can't. You need a valid SIM to activate the phone.
    Note for the future that it's not usually an effective way to get help here by posting an unrelated question in a two-year-old thread. It's best if you start your own topic.

  • How can I use an exsiting Apple ID without a credit card?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use my already made Apple ID with iTunes, but I don't want to use a credit card. I know that you can make a free account in the Apps Store, but every time I type in my email address and password then click Sign in, a message displays saying; "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information."
    I click review and follow the prompts but, the "free" option for the credit card info isn't there.
    Why can't I get a free account with iTunes with my already existing Apple ID? I really don't want to make a whole new email address just for iTunes.
    Thanks

    I'm not trying to create a new account for free,
    Yes, you are.
    I'm trying to use my existing account with iTunes for free.
    You need to create free _iTunes account_ using your existing AppleID. You cannot sign in until you create an _iTunes account_ with your existing AppleID.
    Follow the link Jim posted and select *Create new account*. This creates a new _iTunes account_ using your existing AppleID.

  • How to activate a an unlocked iphone 5 without a sim card?

    Hi, I just got an unlocked Iphone 5 and I want to activate it but I don't have a sim card, Can I till do it? Thanks to all. 

    You can't do it. The iPhone requires a SIM card to activate. It does not have to be tied to an active line of service, but it must be present.

  • HT2534 how do i use itunes and the app store without any credit card or gift card?

    i just got my iphone and i used to use itunes all the time before when downloading all songs were completly free, how do i use itunes and the app store to find free stuff to download without having to add a credit card or gift card with my account?

    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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that I "...can expect no privacey" of any personal information that may be put on the iPad. This is not acceptable to me. How can I use iTunes to keep my personal information off the iPad?

    My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that "...I can expect no privacy" with regard to any information on it. What has me concerned is that my employer has also requested that I use my Persoanl iTunes account to syc and update the iPad.  I am concerend with my personal privacey, as I have two other iPads that use this account regualary.
    My question is: How can I use iTunes to update etc. the company iPad using iTunes without compromising my personal information?
    What I have done is to set up a different sign in (is that called an Apple ID?) within iTunes (I now have two different names I can use to sign in to iTunes). They both still use the same iTunes and my personal apps and information appear to be available to my second sign in name (the second sign in name is what I intend to use for the company iPad). When I sync the company iPad how do/can I keep my persoanl information from being syc'd automatically to the comapany iPad?

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
