Locked iphone 4S use as ipod touch?

My friend gave me a locked iphone 4S as a gift, but I am T-mobile user. Can I use it as ipod touch? Thanks

I think with iOS5 you don't need a sim card for activation, I could be wrong though.
On the other hand, I think most carriers have an early unlock option where you can pay a bit of money (T-Mobile Germany charges 130 €, I think) to unlock the phone immediately.

  • I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again.  Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes".  I am unsure how to do this.  I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

    Hi,
    Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again.  Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes.  On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again.  This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod.  Please help.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • I haven't used my iPod touch in at least a year, and turned it on again, and it said it's locked up for 22 million minutes? How do I fix it? I connected it to iTunes, but it said I need to put in the password to connect it, and I can't!

  • IPhone 2 to use as iPod Touch; will not sync to iTunes

    I am a mom to triplets. For their birthday, I got three deactivated iPhones to restore as iPod Touches (for games mostly). One is an iPhone 3 (no problems with turning it into an iPod); however, the two original iPhone 2s will not allow me to sync on iTunes. I have original sim cards in each and I have restored the phones. On the iTunes screen, it indicates that I must activate with AT&T (thus, purchasing / adding to my current plan), which I do NOT intend on doing since these are for game use only! On iTunes, when I right click the iPhone on devices, the only option it gives me is it eject. The iPhones are both stuck on the "Slide for Emergency Call" screens. According to everything I have read, I should be able to make this transition; however, I suppose I am missing a very important link. Please help!!

    I read this article (above) and tried to activate with original sim card. Did not work. I then put my husband's sim card in. It actually took me further, but AT&T is wanting me to change/add to my plan. I am very confused about this and don't want to sign up for something that will not cost me additional money. Do I go on through the process and click on changing my plan and then try to change it back? I just don't want anything that will be on a 2-year service agreement that I didn't really want anyway!

  • How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud

    How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud. I have activated the phone but am stick at the point of the set-up where my 3 choices are:
    1. Set up as new phone
    2.  Restore from icloud Backup
    3.  Restore from iTunes Backup
    thanks!

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • My iphone 5 and 2 ipod touches will not show up on my itunes

    My iphone 5 and 2 ipod touches will not show up on my itunes when i connect them to my laptop.  I have tried different cables, restarted the mobile thing, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, it is only on my laptop that has Windows 8.

  • I have my iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter tried to change the settings on the ipod so that she could facetime on both her ipod and iphone which is on a separate Apple ID.  I no longer have a 3G connection.

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter who uses the ipod tried to change the apple ID on the ipod to be the same with her apple ID on her own Iphone so that she can use facetime on both devices.  Not sure what she did but my 3G connection is no longer working.

    Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

  • How can I use my iPod touch as a camera to broadcast to twitch?

    I am really having fun doing twitch.tv broadcasts, but is there any way i can use my iPod touch 5th gen as a camera, so i can aim it at something and thats what my viewers see? I broadcast using OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) on my windows (Yea, windows ) PC.
    Thanks, Apple support is always the best

    Likely by using this.

    Further, y canuse one of these cable to output to a VGA or HDMI signal and maybe use that.

  • I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

    I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • How do I restore my iPhone? It has iPod touch information on it (pictures, keyboard is different - no more special symbols, etc.)

    How do I restore my iPhone? It has iPod touch information on it, like old pictures that I had on my iPod touch (which I don't use anymore), and the keyboard has changed. Before I could use special icons and symbols, and now it's just basic (no shapes or anything). Is there any way to restore my iPhone to the condition that I bought it in? I don't want to have to buy another one, since I just got it.
    I also recently changed my Apple ID and password...could this have anything to do with getting my iPhone messed up?

  • Turn My iPhone 4 into an iPod Touch?

    Hi,
    I'm sorry if this question has been asked (seems like it would be a fairly common question). I've used the search feature, as well as Google, but most of the threads/answers I've found seem to be "one-off" type of questions that don't really address the general issue.
    Anyway, I had an iPhone 4. I just bought a new iPhone 5s. I simply want to turn the iPhone 4 into an iPod touch so that I can continue to use it to listen to music and podcasts while I'm exercising (seems like a better option than to risk dropping my brand new iPhone). What do I need to do this? Do I need to remove the SIM card? If so, how do I do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi All,
    I too have a question on this. I have upgraded to the 5s and want to give my iphone 4 to my daughter to use as an ipod touch with no sim. I'm having difficulty setting up imessage and facetime on the device? I've followed a few posts an have erased all contents and all settings, put the old sim in (it is still active with network), set the phone up using itunes account with sim in with no success.... Waiting for activation...... is the status
    You could/can use imessage and facetime on my old ipod touch so am I right in thinking that you can also do this with the iphone 4 with no sim?
    If so how..............

  • Is there anyway I can use my iPod Touch serial number or Apple ID to trace and find back my iPod Touch? Cause I lost it recently(as you know iPod Touch can only go online if there is WiFi). is there any other ways too, apart from contacting the police?

    No.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
