Is it o.k. to use original iPhone dock for iPhone 4S?

I've still had my original iPhone dock. I connected my new iPhone 4S to the original dock. It is working good to syncing on iTune with no problem I think...
If this works, can I use this original dock with iPhone 4S?
As I know, new iPhone 4S dock is compatible with only iPhone 4 and 4S. But I wonder this old and original iPhone dock is compatible with new iPhone 4S.
Thanks in advance for advice!

If the dock works, it should be ok to use with your iPhone 4S.  The pinouts of the connectors haven't changed and I've used an old iPod sync cable with my iPhone 4S with no problems.

  • Use Original iPhone as iPod Touch

    Help. I want to use my original iPhone as an iPod Touch. Every time I connect to iTunes it sends me to the AT&T activation page. I have attempted to use the original SIM and obtained a new one from AT&T. These options have not solved my issue.
    I havecontacted Apple Support on two separate occasions. They told me to get a new SIM from AT&T if my original SIM would not work. I have tried two different SIM cards and neither solved the issue. I called support a second time and they told me there was nothing they could do about it and to contact AT&T (yeah right) for a solution. I am disgusted with Apple for the first time in 10 years.

    I never messed with my sim card/never opened it up.
    After buying my new 100% ooma service I cancled at&t and now get no service and even after a restore it says WAITING FOR ACTIVATION then I slide the unlock and now I can use it just fine.
    Perhaps you jail broke yours? I never did and I have no more phone service and my phone acts just like an itouch just fine. If you still have your original sim I'd ask the apples store people to put the original one back in and stop messing with the innards of the iphone as youre not supposed to opening it up at all.
    I also suspect your wifi at home is password protected?
    remove the password so the iphone can autoconnect and activate then aftewards you can turn back on the wifi router password.

  • How can I use Original iPhone as an iPod Touch?

    I have done a full reset on the phone. When I start to sync iTunes wants to activate the phone. Do I need to remove the sym card?
    Thanks

    That's what I did for my daughter with my old 3G a couple of years ago. Works great and is a perfect media device minus the phone. Great way to recycle it through the family considering how much I paid for it new. Since I used a full body shield front and back, the thing looked brand NEW. She actually liked using it as an iPod way better than the earlier 2nd generation touch she had.
    Have fun.

  • How do I use my original iphone as a music player?

    I've upgraded my iphones through the years, but I always kept my first one.  It's an 8GB original iphone, and I'd like to give it to my 12 year old to use as a music player with itunes.  I tried connecting it to my current itunes (11.0.3.42), and it doesn't even recognize a device is connected.  It just displays the icon of a USB connector and an arrow pointing to an itunes icon.
    Do I need to install an old version itunes to make it work?  Where do I find links to old itunes downloads?
    Is there anything else I need to do to make it work?
    Has anyone else done this recently?  Thanks for any help.

    I'm not sure what you've tried already, but have you considered reset, restore or both?  I had recently done this to my iPhone-1st Gen for a different reason.  After the restore, make sure to give the iPhone-1 a separate name from your main mobile device. 
    The new name is only so you can recognize the different sync settings and playlists on the older device.  iTunes software can tell the difference wheter you rename or not.  Just make sure that you always use the correct backup when you sync, reset or restore.
    How to Reset
    Two Button Reset.
    This is the least likely to result in loss of data.  Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
    Disconnect the iDevice from the computer.
    Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
    When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
    If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes.  My guess is that the reset did not work.
    How to Restore
    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Connect the iDevice to the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • How do I unlock my original iPhone to be used as a backup to my iPhone 3G?

    Hey Everyone,
    Some background:
    Back in July '08, my original iPhone died. This occurred 2-3 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired and the Genius at my local Apple Store was kind enough to still replace it with a refurbished one. However, before I met with the Genius, I bought an iPhone 3G (which is what I'm using now).
    My question:
    The refurbished iPhone came with firmware 1.1.4 and is useless because it keeps showing the 'connect to iTunes' image. How do I unlock it so I can use it as a back-up to my iPhone 3G?
    Right now, it's just a paper weight. When I first got it, I was hoping I could connect it to iTunes to unlock it but I stopped it half way through the process because it started to cancel my iPhone 3G data plan (to replace it with the EDGE data plan). In fact, I had to go to an AT&T store to restore the data plan on my 3G.
    FYI, I have no desire to jailbreak it or unlock for use with other mobile carriers. I just want to unlock the phone so that I can use it with my current AT&T plan. I also did a quick Google search an all the articles I found were for jailbreaking the iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Ok, weird. After starting this thread, I plugged my original iPhone into my MBP and iTunes displayed a message saying the firmware was too old to synchronize. It suggested that I upgrade the firmware. Instead of continuing, I chose to eject the iPhone and now it's activated - i.e., I can use the iPhone and access the apps (except for the ones that require a data connection). So, I guess I'm all set.
    Hopefully, iTunes didn't screw up the data plan on my 3G (I don't think it did since it didn't show any message of communicating with AT&T's servers).

  • How do I use my original iphone for videos & apps only, not as phone

    I want to use my original iphone as a video and app player(not a phone) for my daughter, using my library of purchases on my account. I have an iphone 3G and my original iphone is not being used. How do I do this?

    After an iPhone is no longer activated, you can't install a firmware update or restore the iPhone with iTunes (which re-installs the firmware) since activation is required in order to do so.
    I'm not aware of a way to roll a restore back.
    If you have the SIM card that was used when this iPhone was activated, you can try inserting the SIM card and do another restore. Someone here reported that it is possible to install a firmware update or restore an iPhone with iTunes that is no longer activated as long as the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when activated is inserted.

  • Original iphone works but can no longer be activated for phone use????

    I have one of the original iphones that works but I no longer use (as in I paid $700 for it when it first came out). I just gave it to my nephew and my brother tells me Apple and ATT don't support it and he's being told that it can't be set-up as a functioning phone? That the current version of itunes won't support it either? Does this make sense to anyone? Could this be true? I'm on my 3rd iphone version and the first 2 work I just upgraded so now the old phones can't be used? I gave the same nephew a much older flip phone that still works and it has phone service.... Thoughts?

    This doesn't make any sense to me either. Are we missing some vital information or is he just mistaken?
    Until this last November, I was using a Blackberry Curve. I was visiting a friend and complained about the trackball giving me fits. He went to his kitchen junk drawer and pulled out his very first iPhone 2g and tossed it to me. I've been using it ever since without issue.
    If the phone is in proper working order, it should only take a call to AT&T to order an appropriate plan and sim card. The original iPhone is still fully supported by AT&T and iTunes. While iOS support does end with version 3.1.3 and more and more apps do require iOS4, it still affords a very reasonable user experience. So reasonable, in fact, I am reconsidering my original plan of upgrading to the iPhone 4 this month. What can I say? It kicks BB Curve behind and does everything I need using a sweet grandfathered calling and data plan! laugh

  • How do I get my all my music from my original computer to my current computer? Music is on my original IPhone that I use as an IPod. Most of my music is selected from an external hard drive.

    The bulk of my music is held on an external hard drive. The balance is music I have purchased off ITunes. About 8years ago I selected songs from all this music on the hard drive and the playlists are held in ITunes on this computer that I used 8 years ago. The music was copied to my original IPhone which I now use as an IPod. How can I transfer this ITunes list to my current computer?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Original iPhone, how to use it?

    I hooked up my original iPhone and all I can do in iTunes is activate it. I don't need to activate it, I have a new iPhone.
    I just want to use it as a 4GB iPod touch and maybe some apps.
    Am I missing something here?

    Hey Jason,
    In order to use the iPhone with iTunes it would have to be activated.
    The iPhone resale value is quite high, so you may actually make money selling the iPhone and buying an iPod touch.
    You can leave iPhone related feedback requesting a feature like use without activation online here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • 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.

  • Original iPhone used as an iPod

    I purchased an iPhone 4. Now can my original iPhone be used as an iPod? If so, how do I do that I have erased all the data and apps off, can they be replaced? Thanks.

    Sure. Just hook up your old phone to iTunes and load the music you want on it. I will recognize your old phone. I am doing this with my 4 gig iPhone I purchase when they came out. WiFi works but you can't make phone calls.
    My 3G will be my new iPod Touch when I get my iPhone4 soon.

  • Original iphone still in recovery mode.. I want to use it as an Ipod.

    I recently decided to get the new Iphone 4s and so far I'm very pleased with the upgrade. I upgraded from the original Iphone with the edge network. Since the upgrade I can no longer use the original. The phone is stuck in recovery mode. I want to be able to use the original Iphone as an Ipod. I have called Apple and they told me to dowload Itunes 9.2 but when I do I am unable to install on my computer because I have the latest Itunes.
    My questions is:
    How do I get my original Iphone working again so I may use as a Ipod?
    I've tried reinstalling the sostware in recovery mode but will not work still stuck.. I paid as we all know $500 for this phone when it first came out. I would hate to see this money go to waste and the phone just be another landfill junk.
    Please help.. Thanks!

    I believe if you already installed ios6 on your iphone you have no choice but to stick with ios6.
    I haven't heard of anybody being able to rollback a previous ios version by doing a restore.
    edit: seems you got a reply while I was trying to get my comment in

  • Been using g iPhone 6 for few months, just backed up my iPhone 5, restored my pics etc onto 6 but all original photos have been deleted?

    Been using g iPhone 6 for few months, just backed up my iPhone 5, restored my pics etc onto 6 but all original photos have been deleted, Is there a way I can get them back?

    If you are backing up to your computer, check in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, if there is more than your recent iPhone 6 backup listed. If yes, transfer the photos from your phone to the computer first, then restore from the backup. After that, transfer the recovered photos again to your computer and sync all of the transferred pictures to your phone, using iTunes and the settings in the photo pane.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

  • I did a system restore on my iphone 2 and used a new name (Allan 2). Now I need to access my original iphone apps on itunes,  Where do I find my first phone display an itunes? thanks

    I did a system restore on my iphone2 and used a new name for thr phone on ituhes (Allan2).  Now I need to access my saved apps on the original phone name.  How do I find the two phone profiles on itunes.  When I open it with my phone it only shows Allan2. Thanks

    If your apps were in itunes on your computer, then they should still be there.  Just sync them back to the iphone.
    BTW, the backup that itunes performs when syncing does NOT include music/apps/movies/tv shows etc.
