Im oplaning to get an iphone but just use it as a media player for music and videos cuz i dont wanna sign up for a new plan rightnow. I was wondering can i still get a iphone and use it as as a ipod and surf web eventhou the phone itself is not activated or does it has to be activated to be fully functional?

It has to be activated, you are better off with the iPod touch

  • Iphone and windows media player

    I just got the new iphone and would like to load songs from my pc which is windows xp pro. I have windows media player 11. The player does not recognize the device when hooked up. Hope there is an easy solution.

    Hi Dean and welcome to Discussions,
    to use you iPhone with a Windows PC you have to use iTunes for Windows http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/ and also get the iPhone Configuration Utility from there.
    The Windows Media Player is not supported with the iPhone (see requirements here http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html )

  • How do I sync iphone to windows media player

    I am trying to sync my iphone and mini ipad to windows media player but nothing happens when I plug it in. Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi there ponchogonzales!
    In order to sync your iPhone, iPad, and PC, you will need to install iTunes on your computer. It is a free download, and it can be found right here:

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

  • My iphone is not recognised on either my computer (windows 7) or in the latest itunes that i downloaded. It was recognised for a short time but windows media player asked to open my pictures and i clicked ok. I also started downloading the newest software

    My iphone 3gs is not recognised in either windows 7 or in the latest itunes. It was briefly but then Windows asked me if I wanted to open the camera with Windows media player and I clicked ok. I also tried to download the new software for the phone. Now nothing works. I also downloaded a programme which you supposedly need for iphone with windows 7
    Any help please

    The ONLY program you need for an iPhone on Windows 7 is iTunes. Remove whatever the other program is, then remove and re-install iTunes as diesel vdub recommends.

    No. You cannot download or install anything to iphone, unless it is offered in the App Store on itunes.
    Adobe does not make a flash player for iphone.

  • Realplayer or Windows Media Player for iPhone

    iphone is working fine for listening to programs that are podcast, but a lot of the stuff i want to hear is only available on realplayer or windows media player. don't really want to sit at my computer and listen to it, would rather do it at work where wifi is available and can use the iphone, but these players are not supported. is there any news on when this might become available, or if apple is even working on this at all? if not, is there any way to save that kind of file in itunes and then get it onto the iphone. sorry if my tech-talk stinks

    No way to know, though a RM or WM player would require Real and Microsoft to program one.
    There is a chance this will happen with the SDK coming in Feb.
    Those files can be converted to an iPhone format (ie Quicktime) providing you have a converter and there are no DRM restrictions in place in the file.

  • Playing iPhone music on a laptop using Windows Media Player?

    I would like to be able to play my music through my work laptop speakers when travelling. I don't want to sync music in either direction, just to be able to access & play the music files through a standard Windows Media Player. I've searched for a solution, but the only ones I've found involve jailbreaking the phone.
    The iPhone is 3G running OS 3.1.2. My iTunes files are encoded as MP3, so the file format shouldn't be a problem.
    As the software on the laptop is strictly controlled by the IT department, installing iTunes and my library is not an option.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Simon.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't expect it to be a feature of the iPhone, but do expect it to be a feature of the Windows software. After all, the Windows box can see the iPhone photos directory appearing as a removable disk... it's only software, right?

  • HELP! iphone media player wont play files in a .htaccess protected folder.

    I installed a personal webserver, Apache and configured it to provide access to my .mp3 files. Through Safari on the iphone I can connect to my webserver and see all of my .mp3 files. If I click on one, it fires up the music/media player.. then says "movie cannot be played". NOW, if I remove any .htaccess protections from the folder or server, then it works perfectly fine and will play my files. With the .htaccess set it does indeed ask me for a login/password,which I enter, but it STILL wont play the file. This stinks. Any smart web people out there know how I can use my own web server to access my files while protection them from other people browsing my IP???? Thanks in advance.

    I'm not using secure access (https). I started with the most basic configuration, standard http: on port 80, etc. The configuration works perfectly fine when tested on my home PC. The problem seems to be in Safari on the iphone it prompts me for a login, and accepts it.. then it fires up the media/movie player and I'm guessing it's not passing the authentication/credentials/whatever to the movie player. When the media tries to play, it notes it's an access controlled file and just quits out. The movie player doesnt seem to allow asking of login/password info. Thoughts??

  • How do I pop-up a media player modal view in iPhone app?

    Hi,
    I would love to know how the mail app in the iphone pops up a media player modal view when you click on an audio attachment in an email. The media player view slides up, plays the file, then slides away, giving control back to the mail app. Does anyone know how this is done?
    Thanks!

    It also matters not where the media files are stored (laptop hard drive or network drive).
    AppleTV relies on iTunes to stream local content.
    Not the most environmentally friendly option but that's the way it is.

  • Video from Iphone will not open in windows media player

    I was able to import videos from my iphone 5c into windows vista, but the will not play in windows media player.
    How can I play the video?

    Rodney-- you're unclear what exactly you did. If you encoded a dvd, your computer's dvd player SHOULD play it. Unless your pc doesn't HAVE a dvd player.
    If you burned a data dvd of your fcp project, unless you have quicktime on your pc, you won't be able to play it.
    Investigate flip4mac, which allows you to export wmv files.

  • Does iPhone get charged via car's media player's USB slot?

    Hello to all. Am very new to iPhones and have this need.

My earlier mobile could be charges when plugged into the USB slot of my PC desktop or my Mac.
    If this cannot meet my need of recharging my i Phone, I would like to know which charger gives yeoman service?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello John Lenz,
    Please share us a screenshot for better analyzation.
    DRM stands for digital rights management. DRM is a technology used by content providers, such as online stores, to control how the digital music and video files you obtain from them are used and distributed. Some online stores sell and rent songs and movies
    that have DRM applied to them. A file that has DRM applied to it is known as a protected file.
    For more information, please refer to the following article.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/media-player-drm-faq#1TC=windows-7
    So, if the wma file is protected, it is recommended to contact the content providers.
    Best regards,
    Fangzhou CHEN

  • Tenho um iphone 4,gostaria de saber qual aplicativo devo baixar para que seja possível reproduzir videos transmitidos pelo mesmo no formato media player?

    tenho um iphone 4,gostaria de saber qual aplicativo devo baixar para que seja possível reproduzir videos transmitidos pelo mesmo no formato media player?

    Rapaz, tenho gerado imagens para meu Alcatel através do repositório Git do B2G.
    Quais configurações vc acha que devem ser alteradas antes de realizar o Build? Pelo o que entendi do seu texto seria o '''.config''' no Raiz do B2G, mas nesse arquivo só possui este conteúdo:
    MAKE_FLAGS=-j3
    GECKO_OBJDIR=/home/anderson/firefoxos/B2G/objdir-gecko
    DEVICE_NAME=hamachi
    DEVICE=hamachi
    Não existe a opção '''CONFIG_SWAP''' nele. Pesquisando essa opção no conteúdo dos arquivos, o mais próximo que encontrei foi:
    ./kernel/arch/arm/configs/msm7627a_defconfig
    ./kernel/arch/arm/configs/msm7627a-perf_defconfig
    Mas, não tenho ideia se ia funcionar. Infelizmente não estou com muito tempo este mês para pesquisar, mas se me indicar o que alterar, eu faço aqui e deixo compilando, depois a gente conversa via "Mensagem particular" aqui no fórum (ou outra forma).

  • HT1391 Music that is on my computer and iPhone will not play using any media player

    Media (songs) that are listed in iTunes and on the iPhone will not play.  The cursor skips over them.  Using Explorer I can see them on the disc, but clicking them and trying to play them with Quicktime, Windows Media Player or iTunes does not work.
    Does anybody know what I can do to fix this?

    Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
    In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
    Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
    What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.
