Iphone 4 Used as iPod.

I am currently using my old iphone 4 as an ipod - how do I keep the phone lit when it is playing? My Nano ipod used to always stay lit throught the duration of play and I used to like seeing the artwork. 

Okay thanks, best not to do that then - will just have to put with a blank screen.

  • Adapter for charging iPhone using older iPod connectors

    in my Audi I have an iPod cable that will charge my iPod but not my iPhone.
    Something to do with the cable being an older firewire legacy connector and the iPhone needing a newer USB.
    anyhooz, I remember seeing a 3rd party manufacturer making some sort of adapter. Anyone know if it is out? name of this device?
    THX!

  • IMessages go through to a specific contact using an iPod while signed into a different iMessage account on an iPad, but iMessages do not go through using my main iMessage account or iPhone number. Have I been blocked?

    I have a friend who uses an iPod to iMessage me and about two nights ago, my messages to him from my iPhone were no longer listed as delivered and then I started getting the message "Contact is unavailable. This person cannot be reached by iMessage at this time."  I have my main iMessage email and phone number linked to my iPhone. I decided to try messaging him from an iPad that only has my iMessage email linked to it, and the iPad gave me a message saying his email is not linked to an iMessage account. After that, I tried ANOTHER iPad. This one runs iOS 5 and has a separate iMessage email linked to it and the messages were not listed as delivered, but they did not give me a failure message. I unlinked my main iMessage email from my phone and linked the secondary iMessage email to it. I still got the first message about the contact being unavailable when I attempted to send a message from my iPhone. Then, I messaged him again from the iPad running iOS 5, and the message I sent showed up on my iPhone and was listed as delivered. Is it possible this friend has blocked me? He has not messaged me for two days. I was under the impression a block would simply result in my messages being listed as delivered, not that the contact would be unavailable or that his email is not linked to an iMessage account. Is there any way to force my iPhone to send messages to him using only my iMessage email and not cell phone number?  Is this actually a fluke and he has deleted his iMessage account, but the iPad running iOS 5 did not recognize that? But why would my iphone list the messages as delivered then?

    After much research went with Comcast. Package includes 12mbs, phone service, all premium channels, 2 HD dvrs, 1 HD receiver. After promos end I will be paying more, but I'm getting more. Customer service before purchase and installation phenomenal. I actually set up order over phone instead of online because of the customer service. No complaints about Direct TV, but canceeling them also because from having to shop for new Isp resulted in this. My speedtest now says I am 85% faster than most of the U.S. I am very happy. I would consider my verizon problem solved. Oh, free router also.

  • Can I use my ipod and an iphone on the same itunes library?

    Hi
    I want to buy an iphone but when I asked the sales assistant if I could use my ipod and iphone on the one itunes library she said she thought I should be able to but was not 100% sure. I want to be able to play my music, audio books etc on both.
    Thanks

    Hey deepseablue71
    here is the link "using multiple ipods with one computer" again, just tested, it works for me:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495?viewlocale=en_US
    How do you use the same itunes library for multipul ipods/iphones? >
    First of all, when it comes to music I create playlists. That makes it more easy to handle on different devices.
    When I plug in my iPhone I select the playlists, video or other data I want to have and sync. Same with my iPods. After that I have similar playlists and data on my iPhone and iPods, even calendar and adressbook are updated.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,

  • Can I Create A Hotspot With My iPhone 4 To Use For iPod Touch?

    I'm considering signing up for the tethering plan with AT&T.
    My main purpose would be to create a hotspot for my iPod Touch.
    I use my iPod Touch at work using Keynote.  I would like the ability to download my Keynotes via Dropbox on my iPod Touch.
    Can I create a hotspot with my iPhone 4 so my iPod touch would have access to the internet?

    Yes.

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

    Do the recipients have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with the Messages app and are yo calling the email address or phone number they set up for Messages?
    An iPod can only Message to another iOS device with Messages.

  • I just yesterday purchased an iPhone. I was transferring photos and using my iPod touch 4th generation. I used it this morning perfectly fine and right now I clicked on the screen and it took me back to the very beginning start up. Can I get my photos bak

    I just purchased an iPhone, I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone. Everything was working perfectly. This morning as well I used my iPod to listen to music. By the end of the night I hit the home button on my iPod only to see it on the start up page (the one when you first activate your iPod) Is there any way I can get those photos back From my iPod some how! I do now have iCloud nor did I save anything to iTunes cause they were just photos on my iPod. Help please..

    You said " I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone." Just what did yo do?
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Go to iTunes>Preverences>Version and look to see if y have a bavkup of the iPod. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer N/a since that is part of iCloud
    - Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

    It is possible one of the 10.6.8 updates may help:

  • Want to use iphone 4s as ipod but can't get past activation

    My brother sent his iPhone 4s in to have a replacement.  When he got the new one back he never used it and he closed his account with ATT.  He has a work phone that is paid for him now and doesn't need it.  I asked him if he'd send it to me to use.  I wanted to use it as an iPod, but I can't get past the activation.  I'm being told by the phone that I need a sim card to activate it but I don't have a sim and I have phone service already so I don't need to go get it turned on.  It's a perfect little piece of equipment that I'd love to use but I can't.  Can anyone please help me?

    USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
    Restore your phone as new.  Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone.  Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages.  Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields.  Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

  • Use my Old Iphone as a Ipod?

    I just upgraded to the new iphone and was thinking about using my original phone as a ipod. Can I sync just my music with my old phone without messing up new phone?
    sgt

    I too would like to use my original iphone (first gen) as an ipod touch.
    I moved my orig iphone sim card into my 3Gs when I got the new iphone...and then put an old sim card I had around into the orig iphone when the screen displayed that it needed a sim card.
    Now the orig iphone only displays the familiar "USB cable to iTunes" pic and when I try to go thru the activation in iTunes the processes wants to create a new ATT account and plan for me. (I called ATT while doing this and the person confirmed that this is what would happen if I followed through.)
    Is the ONLY WAY to use an original iphone (as an ipod) WITHOUT the original sim card to jailbreak it?
    Thanks for any insights

  • Use the original iPhone as a iPod Touch

    I would like tlo use my original iPhone as a iPod Touch but I am unable to activate or unblock the SIM card. I cannot use my iPhone 4 SIM car on the original as it is a different size.
    What now?

    I did borrow the SIM card from a friends old 3G he is using an an iPod Touch. It worked.
    Even more interesting is that when I placed the "problem" SIM card in the 3G it merely indicated the SIM was locked but otherwise works as intended -  an iPhone without cellular service - an iPod Touch.
    No idea why the 1st gen iPhone will not work with its own SIM but its SIM works in a 3G.

  • Can you use the iPod connector cable to charge the iPhone or

    only the cable that came with the iPod?
    Also, I put the iPhone briefly into my old inMotion speakers and a message
    came up saying that the device didn't support an iPhone and would either not
    charge my iPhone or have bad consequences for my iPhone-i wasn't sure-it did
    work in the speakers tho.

    I use an iPod connector almost all the time and have never had a problem, even after market iPod connectors, but you'll get a different response depending on who you talk to. The guy at the Genius Bar told me yes, but phone support said no. Short answer...You should be able to use the iPod connector.
    When you plug the iPhone into some 3rd party devices, you'll get a message stating "not compatible with iPhone" but that is because you are going to get interference because of the cell signal. You can put it into Airplane mode to avoid the interference or just deal with the interference and just click OK. That being said, I have read other posts where these devices do cause damage to the iPhone so proceed at your own risk.

  • Using an iPod Classic USB cable on an iPhone 4S

    Can you use an iPod classic (1st generation) USB (1.0) cable to charge the iPhone 4S? Is there any effects in doing this? I wanted to use this as an extra charger for my USB car charger.

    I don't know... Just use the USB cable the nano comes with.
