Iphone 3g to ipod?

i was wondering if an iphone 3g would turn on if there wasn't a simcard in it. also if i would be able to use it as an ipod and use it for wifi.
sorry if this was already asked but thanks in advanced.

Hello, is it possible to do the same (remove sim card & still have wifi Internet access) on an original iPhone? Can I them use this same sim card in a new 3G iPhone & activate the new phone & use as a full iPhone with my O2 number & still use the old one as an iPod? Many thanks

  • I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod

    I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod although I can see the iphone but NOT the iPod on the computer (windows 8.1 Pro).  I checked everything , cable, services, stop and start and automatice, etc.and went through all the steps on the apple support site, to include removing all apple software in the designated order and reinstalling it.  iTunes still doesn't see the iphone.
    The Apple iPhone shows up only under protable Devices in the Device Manager window and has a Yellow ! warning triangle, and there is no Apple USB controller in the devices menu.under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When I look under the properties of the Apple iphone, it says in Device Status, to reinstall the drivers for this device (Code 18).
    When I do this,  I get the following: "Windows found driver softweare for you device but encountered an error when attempting to install it" Apple Mobile Device Driver One of the installers for th this device cannot perform the installation at this time. I tried both suggested locations on the C: drive.
    Also I can't seem to find out how to install the Apple USB Contoller or is that related to the problem above?
    The iphone and my ipod work fine with this version of itunes on Windows 7 on my laptop.  is it possible that I am missing a critical update from Microsoft on the driver and USB controller?  I have been leery of installing them since my computer had problems with some updates in January.
    I 've tried every thing listed in this forum, I think, and the Apple support page on this subject.  Please help!

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • The difference between an iphone and an ipod touch?

    i want to know if the difference between an iphone and an ipod touch is just that the iphone is like a phone that has internet and is a phone. or what else is it?

    The iPhone includes the same as an iPod Touch but also includes a phone, a camera, and a GPS radio.
    In addition to having internet access via wi-fi, the iPhone also has internet access via the cellular network, so as long as you have cellular reception with the iPhone, you have access to the internet in addition to having access via an available wi-fi network.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPod without a computer ?

    Is it possible to transfer the music from my iTunes on my iPhone to my iPod without a computer?

    No.  The music must stored in an iTunes library on a PC or Mac first. From there you can sync it over to the iPod.

  • I have an iPhone and an iPod with the same iCloud/Apple ID but I don't want have the same stuff on them?

    Ok so I have an iPhone and an iPod which share the same iCloud/appleID. I did this today when I got my new iPhone I put in my iCloud details which put everything I had on my iPod onto my iPhone(I was unaware this happened). I'm happy with all the apps added straight on and my contacts added but I don't want to have all my photos from my iPod on my iPhone. I want to keep the photos from my iPod on my iPod and when I take pictures on my iPhone they stay just on my iPhone. I'm wondering if this is possible as it's with the iCloud? I have previous synced my iPod on my laptop when adding music ect but I don't know if that effects iCloud I don't really know but I'm worried if I delete all the pictures off of my iPhone then sync that then sync my iPod into the same laptop will it wipe those pictures since there off my iPhone? I don't really get how all this works so help is very much appreciated!!  And I hope what I've wrote makes sense to someone!

    If you don't want photo stream to sync your photos between devices go settings > iCloud and uncheck photos, do this on each device.

  • Syncing Outlook for Mac with a hotmail pop accountto 'mail' on iphone, ipad and ipod

    I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011, with a hotmail account set up as a pop account to my outlook inbox.  I also have that same hotmail account set up on my iphone, ipad and ipod.  Is there a way to sync my e-mail between Outlook for Mac and the 'mail' on my other devices, so that when I delete an email on my computer, it deletes on all devices?
    I'm not so tech savvy and am happy to provide any additional information but am not sure where to start!  I would appreciate any help you can give me.
    Thank you

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).

  • I set up my Apple TV without problem and it worked with my iPad 2. Following a software update on the Apple TV I no longer get the AirPlay symbol on any device. IPad 2, IPhone 4s or iPod Touch.

    I Set up my Apple TV and it worked well with my iPad 2. Following an update of my Apple TV software none of my devices now show the AirPlay symboL.  This includes an iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4th gen,. Any ideas?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Two mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. Sync apps?

    Hi there, between my wife and I, we have two Mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch.  The iPod touch is new- is it possible to get the apps that have already been purchased for the iPhone, onto the iTouch?

    but can i then only ever use both the iphone and itouch with that particular mac?
    you can use home sharing to transfer media files (incl. apps) between the two Macs. if you and your wife use separate Apple ID's to purchase content, authorize the wife's machine for yours and yours for hers.
    is there a way to make both portable devices work with both macs?
    by design, iOS devices sync with only one library at a time.
    i am hoping the "home sharing" feature will be the answer but so far i have not been able to make it work.

    Erase all content and settings on your iPod before selling it,  as explained here: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  This will not effect your iPhone 5 or the data in your iCloud account.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases directly to the iPod by:        
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise you will have to sync from your iTunes library.

  • After I installed iOS 7.1, my iPhone 4s and iPod (5th Gen.) will no longer sync with my 2014 Toyota Tundra Truck.

    After I installed iOS 7.1, my iPhone 4s and iPod (5th Gen) stopped syncing with my 2014 Toyota Tundra Truck.  Has anybody experienced this problem?

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

    My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

    When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
    For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
    If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
    Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
    If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.
