How to use iphone as ipod?

On craigslist, a person is selling a verizon iPhone 4s. And I wanted to buy it. But I only want to use it as a ipod! How do I do it? Take out the SIM card? What so I do?

Keep in mind that an iPhone must have a SIM card in it in order for a restore to complete successfully. If you have issues and need to restore the phone, not having the SIM in it will prevent the restore from completing.
I recommend leaving the SIM in the phone if you do choose to purchase it.

HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds. How do I work this thing?

I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on. Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything! Help! What do I do to get this thing going?

You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

How to use old nano ipod on new computer

How to use old nano ipod with new computer

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How to use iphone as remote client to pc

how to use iphone as remote client to pc

Search the app store for remote desktop client apps - there are many. You may also need to configure a VPN connection. iOS 6 has a built in VPN, although if you use a VPN over SSL you may need to get an app for that too.
On my iPad, I use Cisco's AnyConnect and RDP app and it works alright (I would not want to use it often, but it gets the job done when needed). Never tried it from an iPhone as I image it would be horrible to actually use (scrolling to see all of the remote desktop, the keyboard on the iPhone covering most of the visible desktop - all sorts of awkwardness).

how to use iphone 4s from japan locked by softbank?

Ocean20 answered your question, don't waste your time contacting Softbank as Chris CA suggested. There are no officially unlocked iPhones sold in Japan & none of the Japanese carriers...which include Softbank...offer official unlocking for the iPhone. There is no way to get any Japanese iPhone officially unlocked.

Use Iphone as Ipod touch?

I just bought a used Iphone 5 for ATT and it came with no SIM, I want to use it as an Ipod touch. I heard that you can use a SIM from another's iphone for a few minutes just to activate it; I did that with my friends Iphone 5c SIM and it still said NO SIM, what is wrong?How do i activate it? And How can I solve this problem?

Is your friend's phone from AT&T? You would have to use an AT&T SIM for an AT&T phone. Otherwise, here is the support document for using a phone as an iPod without wireless service. Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan

How to use Windows formatted iPod nano to move music to a new Mac?

Hi all,
I need to transfer my iPhone's musics, songs, apps and photo, etc to the Mac and I came across this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329" guide at Apple Support site since I owned a iPod nano.
My questions is since my iPod nano is configured for Windows will the Mac be able to read it since it's stated clearly in the guide "While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle."
If I follow through the guide, 1. Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use, 2. Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder, 3. Copy iTunes folder to iPod. I will still need to restore the iPod to work in Mac and end up nothing left inside meaning songs, photo all erased.
Also, anyone using third party software like http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ Can advise if it's good to use this? And if iPod nano configured for Windows can works with this?
Need other more solution other this to transfer the mentioned data to Mac.
Thanks.

iPhone… iPod… iPod Nano… which one it is? You are trying to transfer music from what source, using what medium, and to what target?
I came across this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329"
it's stated clearly in the guide "While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle."
Where exactly is this stated? I am unable to find this statement in the KB article you mentioned. And are you talking iPhone or iPod? This KB article applies only to iPod.

Can I use Iphone and Ipod at the same time?

I use an Ipod now. If I bought an iPhone and sync it with my iTunes... will it no longer allow syncs with my regular iPod? Or can I have both my purchases on both devices?

ok so it I can still use both, like movies (including rentals) on my video ipod, and my music on my iPhone. (storage is the reason for the two devices.)?
Yes, but the Fifth Generation iPod cannot play rented movies; it only works with purchased ones out of those from the iTunes Store. The iPod classic, third generation iPod nano, iPhone, and iPod touch will play rented movies.

How to use iPhone as a modem for MBP

bonjour all,
after looking up information about how to use my iPhone 3G as a modem to my late 2008 MPB i found a APP called NetShare that was removed by Apple for reasons unknown yet, and i was hoping that with a little luck there might be an alternative.
if you have any information please pass it on,
Cheers,
Sean

I'm from the US, and there has been no alternative because Apple doesn't want people to be able to tether on the iPhone just yet. Apparently they will be releasing tethering to iPhone users here soon, but Apple took Netshare down because of that fact.
Now I don't know if there is anything else available in Paris, but you might want to contact Apple or your cell carrier and ask them, they would have a better idea about it.

How to use iphone 3gs to transfer itunes library to mac

I bought a macbook pro and i am trying to transfer my itunes library from a HP dv7 using my iphone 3gs. itunes version 10.2. the instructions that I am using are for ipod. cant find instructions for using iphone. thanks

Using an external drive is one option. What did you use to backup the important data on your Windows PC?
Maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform but even more important with Windoze due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
An Apple store can help you with this along with helping you with backup options for your Mac.
