HT3406 Use iphone as ipod?

I want to use my iphone 4 as an iPod but I can not put my new SIM card in the iphone for because it is an iphone five SIM card. The home button does not work either, what do I have to do?

Either get a SIM adaptor or get an appropriate size SIM for the iPhone4.
FYI, no SIM is needed to use an iPhone as an iPod.
Just curious, what happened to the SIM that came in the iPhone4 to begin with?

  • HT3406 Using iphone 4 from verizon as iPod? some more questions

    Hi,
    I have a current iPhone 4 which is active with iTunes. After I upgrade to iPhone 6, I want to use the current one as iPod. Is there anything I need to do? It is a Verizon iPhone.  Is there any tips to conserve battery after using it as iPod?
    I have wifi all setup, nothing will change.
    Thank You

    I use my old IPhone 2G in a XtremeMac Tango like an iPod. . I take off the SIM card. That's all.
    Best,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Using iphone as ipod only

    Can I use an old iphone just as an ipod? If I plug it into a computer do I have to turn it on as a phone?

    yes you can use your old iphone as an ipod, and if it's already activated you can sync without a problem, but i think you still need the sim card in there. simply just put in the sim card and sync. once done, you can take out the sim card and put it back to your other phone.

  • HT3406 Use iPhone 3G without a service plan. iPhone 4 sim doesn't fit. Original sims in phone won't work

    I want to use my old 3GS as an iPod touch.
    I just upgraded my old 3GS to iOS 6.?(current). I did a full restore. Now it is stuck in the activation process. I took it to the AT&T store to have them try. They put in a new sim but that didn't work. Apple support says to use the sim from my new phone. The iPhone 4 (my current phone) uses a different type of sim and it's not compatible in size. I have no way to make the phone work. I don't need AT&T service I just need to phone to work as an iPod touch.
    Thanks

    The old sim is still in there.  I went to the AT&T store and they tried putting a new sim in there.  That did not work.  I purchased an adaptor and tried fitting the mini sim from my iPhone 4s into the the old 3GS  It fit physically but did not activate the phone. 
    on a side note... the same adaptor worked to activate an old 3G.  but that runs iOS 4.? which does not block the phone from working before activation.
    The AT&T store gave me a new SIM also and that did not work.  I am sitting at an Apple store with a genius bar guy.  he has no idea how to make this work either... his suggestion was to put in an active SIM... oh wait, they are different sizes... ARG!!  seems the issue is with iOS6 and the 3GS and activation.
    anyone have an active SIM i can use... I'll give it right back I promise.

  • Can I use iPhone as iPod without SIM card

    I have an old iPhone 4 that I would like to use as an iTouch.  It no longer has a SIM card and I am having trouble setting it up.  Any advice?

    you need sim card to activate it. once done, you can remove it and use as iPod.

  • 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.

  • I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

    I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
