    Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
    It would depend however on the age of the child.
    Good Luck

  • I want to use my old iPhone 3GS as an Ipod. Nothing is working?

    I'm tired of wasting battery on my iPhone 4 to listen to music, so I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod. I read you had to have a sim card inserted in the phone, regardless if it's activated. So I put the old one inside, but when I connect it to my computer, it won't charge, or sync with iTunes. It's definitely not my charger because both of my phones charge in a wall outlet, and my iPhone 4 charges through the computer. Just not the iPhone 3GS.... I'm going on vacations with long car rides and would like to use this. Help please!

    I am using my old iPhone for playlist for my Dad's funeral as that meets the crematorium requirements. Some tracks - uploaded from personal CDs to MacBook Pro and successfully transferred to new iPhone (with small doc) won't transfer on syncing.  Most do, but why won't some, of my own music sync when others off the same album and in the same playlist do? I have now checked the storage, freed up 766MB, how can i not sync (and get everything i've just deleted back) but upload the required tunes? All help appreciated, many thanks x x x

    Is this possible?
    maybe this post by Zevoneer helps.
    I don’t want to hear any of that “iTunes will let you re-download anything you’ve lost” nonsense.
    it won't anyways. except or apps, you are entitled to one download only. there4 it is important to back up.

    Basically i restore my old iphone 3gs and i want to use it as a ipod touch. However i need to activate it. I read another post where you can use an old sim card to activate it but when i did it said it canot be used to be activated. Im not sure becuase it was a cingulair sim card. Can i just use my current sim card then just take it out?

  • Please Help - I want to use my iPod : (

    Here is the problem:
    A few months ago my iTunes no longer recognized my pod even though my computer did. I went through Apple's suggestions, reinstalling software/iTunes to no avail. I reset my pod to factory settings, but it would still not be recognized by iTunes. I put the problem aside. Now I'm back to it. The iPod works fine, holds a charge, etc...but will not update. Whenever I try to use the recent updater program, the iPod fails to initialize. Eventually, the program craps out and will not respond so I shut it down. I'm sort of at an impass. I've tried many suggestions but without updating the software iTunes will never recognize it. Has anyone had/fixed this problem before? I looked through some of the forums but couldn't find a situation where the updater simply wouldn't intialize.
    Thanks for the help. Crossing my fingers...

    It is just just under two years old. Its a 20 GB click-wheel. I'm going to sort out my warranty information because I think I may have extended coverage. But I think this problem can be sorted out without having to resort to all that messy shipping. Actually the updater (after about 100 attempts) finally did initialize and show the restore option. So I did that for the second time and now am letting it charge. Hopefully when I plug it in again it will let me update?

  • Please help, I want to use my TC as media server

    I have a TC 1TB and I have three Macs at home, I want to copy all my music (iTunes), photos (iPhoto) and video on the TC and share it with all the Macs, and when some one add a photo, song or video the other can see it too, and don't have to duplicate the files, so how can I do it, specially with iTunes

    1) connect TC to your network and make sure you have no network problems
    2) use Disk Utility /Disks/File Sharing to set up the TC; check box share and wan and how you want others to share your TC
    3) use Finder preference to check box "show connected servers on desktop"
    4) use Finder GO command to connect to server
    5) in the blank window type afp://10.0.1.1 that is the ip address shown in Disk Utility for your local network...you could also connect over the internet using the ip address shown under Internet.
    6) once TC is mounted, copy your files to it ; do not use TC as your sole backup.
    7) launch itunes and use the "add to library" command; this points itunes to the source of the files
    8) just make sure you mount the TC before launching itunes each time.
    9) only one Mac is going to stream files from that TC at a time.
