Possible to use iPhone without i-applications?

My sister and her partner have just purchased new iPhones but only have a G4 that does not meet Leopard specifications. I know with non-Apple supported devices such as mp3 players I can have been able to plug them in and have them appear as flash storage media and manually copy files. As long as I make sure they go the right places they work. Is it possible to circumvent the need for new iTunes, iPhoto, etc. and get files onto an iPhone without all the "synching" business? Personally I'm advocating my girlfriend away from getting an iPhone because of the stringent system requirements for supporting hardware, but these phones ar alrady purchased.
I know they could try e-mailing files and transfer them that way, but that's a bit cumbersome if you're trying to copy 1000 mp3s.

Did a bit of research and the answer is yes and no. Actually "yes", as I suspected you can do some things without iTunes. A web search of "put files on iphone without iTunes" gets the usual 8 million hits, but there are some such as http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-ways-to-sync-music-to-your-iphone-without-itunes/ The "no" is that most methods require Windows, or are not easy (not an issue for me but for the owners of the phones it would be).
I think I have come up with the answer on my own which is it is possible but not feasible.

It is possible to unlock iphone without connecting itunes?????

it is possible to unlock iphone without connecting itunes?????

You cannot unlock from the carrier yourself...only the carrier can process and send the unlock...and you MUST use iTunes to process and implement the unlock.
If your iPhone is disabled for another reason, you need to follow the article above, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

Is it possible to use cmsdk as stanalone application.

Is it possible to use cmsdk as stanalone application.

You can shut down the middle tier CMSDK instance and still access the CMSDK repository using the OC4J Container provided by JDeveloper. You can write a desktop Swing program that will do the same thing.
However, given that this works, it implies that each stand-alone user has a direct connection to the database as there is no middle tier to pool database connections. So 500 users connected with stand-alone application would require 500 database connections.
You also will lose any agents, servers, S_Tie classes, and other server side tools. You'll not have SMB, NFS, WebDAV, etc. as these are all provided by the middle tier. You also will have no administrator.
You'll also probably be in a license violation unless you have the CMSDK running somewhere in an AS Standard Edition license.
But it does seem to work fine, otherwise.

Hi Venkat,
If a report is created over a DSO, it pulls data from the active table of a DSO. So as suggested in all the posts above it is not possiable to report on the DSO without activating it.
Activation of DSO only allows to generate SID's to link transaction data and master data, SID's could also be generated at the time of reporting (When the report fetches data from BI server, but for the SID generation data is needed in active table). Also activation checks the correctness of data etc.
Could you please let know why you want to report on the unactive request, is it having some problem with activation?

Is it possible to use ERMS without Interaction Center

Hi experts,
We have a requirement wherein we want to receive email from our customer. The system should automatically create Service Request from Incoming Email. The Service Request should get automatically routed to the respective Orgs. The agents should be able to send emails from Service Request using Tracking ID. I understand that all this can be achieved using ERMS and Interaction Center. My concern is that we do not intend to use Interaction Center. Would it be possible to use ERMS without Interaction Center (using any business roles of Type: CRM Webclient and not IC Webclinet). Please advice.
Regards,
Namita

Hi Harish,
Thanks for the response. Our requirement is to create Service Request automatically as soon as an email reach the SAP system. these are external email sent by customers. But we do not have any plans of using Interaction Center. I was investigating if this can be possible at all. Any put would certainly be hlepful.

Namita

Is it possible to use board without MAX

Hi All,
I am develloping an Application that will use a NI USB measurement module. This Application is going to be distributed and used in the production in different industries.
I don't want that an operator can change the channel settings in the MAX, because this could make the measured results worthless. I have heard, that it is possible to controll a board without the MAX under CVI, but LabVIEW needs the MAX. Is it possible to use the dlls that are used with CVI in LabVIEW as well and controll a board without even installing the MAX.
Best Regards
Dermot

Can I use iPhone without a computer?

So I have a mac with 10.3.9 which doesn't support iphone (10.4.x onwards only i believe) - If I get an iphone can I use the phone function, wi-fi for mail and internet etc without connecting it to a computer at all? I DL'd the manual and it tells you as one of the first steps to connect to your computer via USB and register it. Is this essential? To use the phone in any way at all do you have to register it?
I'm happy to go to a friend's house with a compatible mac eventually and load some mp3s and videos or whatever on to it but would like to know if I can just use the thing as a phone first without needing a computer at all.

Oh man.
Yes I own a powerbook. My reasons for not being able to use it are... I use Avid editing software on it. If I upgrade to the latest version of OS X, or even an earlier one like 10.4.x then I will have to upgrade my Avid - that costs money that I don't have. It works well on my 10.3.9 and I've been happy with this. Until now it seems.
In order for you guys to be helpful to me here we'll all have to pretend that we aren't proud nerds that secretly wish we could control our cars from our phones (this includes me so don't be offended).
Pretend for a second that the iPhone isn't the best thing since sliced bread and can do almost anything and pretend that some people might be happy setting it up and just using it without updating it's software all the time and just treating it like they've treated all their other phones - as a phone.
You all have answered me like I should know better than to suggest I might try to keep my iPhone use simple. I bet Apple themselves aren't comfortable with anyone suggesting that the iPhone needs to suckle at the teat of a computer every day just to keep working! If that really was the case then surely this phone would unusable for any extended trips away from home - going on holiday for a week to Brazil would be out because your iPhone can't survive without being synced! Come on!
All I want is to set it up and use it unaided. Is this possible in the first instance, straight out of the box with no computer.

Use iphone without carrier?

Hello,
with the iPhone 5 just around the corner I was thinking I could take advantage of the guaranteed sell-off rush to purchase a used iPhone 4 in a few weeks. The thing is, I don't want to use the phone, I'll just be using it as a touch. I read this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406) which says that I can do it, but it mentions requiring the original SIM card. But what if I don't have the original SIM card, or any SIM card for that matter? Am I out of luck?
Thanks

Considering that there are no used Verizon CDMA that have expired contracts as yet and their "full price" is $750 + at least 1 month plan to activate (>$800 total), that route doesn't make sense for a carrier free phone.
Also, it's not clear that the CDMA model can be activated without connection to a carrer. With the GSM models, you need a SIM, currently or previosuly activated for an iPhone to activate the phone, then remove the SIM. With the CDMA, there's no SIM to remove (or any equivalent setting) in order to disconnect from the carrier. The Apple support article doesn't mention using a CDMA model for this purpose.

Is it possible to use AirTunes without a wireless router?

At home, I have a MacBook and use AirTunes with my AirPort Express on my home wireless network. It all works great without any problems.
But I also occasionally provide music on at the neighborhood pool (for kid's parties, etc) which does not have any kind of internet connection (no WiFi, nothing).
I was wondering if it's possible to stream the music wirelessly from my MacBook to my AirPort Express (which will be plugged into a sound system) without a WiFi network present? In other words, is there some kind of way to set up wireless communication between the MacBook and the AX without having to bring and configure a wireless router at the pool?
PS) More info:
The reason I want to do it wirelessly is so that I can locate the MacBook somewhere away from the sound system to not only protect it from water/traffic, etc, but also somewhere where the kids won't see it and "fight" over changing songs, etc.
And also, as a side question, I have Apple's "Remote" app on my iPhone. Just wondering if I can control iTunes with my iPhone; again without the presence of a WiFi router?
Thanks very much in advance!

In other words, is there some kind of way to set up wireless communication between the MacBook and the AX without having to bring and configure a wireless router at the pool?
Yes and no. The AX IS a wireless router. You would simply configure the AX to create a wireless network. Your MacBook would connect to that network and stream the music.

Pc reinstalled. Is it possible to use Iphone to syncronise to Itunes?

I had to have mij laptop reinstalled. Therefore mij Itunes is now empty. The Iphone of course not. Is it possible to copy al app from to phone to the laptop? So actually the syncronise the other way around.....

The sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from your iTunes library on your computer to your iPhone. After purchasing/downloading iTunes content with your iPhone - music, video, or a 3rd party app, the content will be transferred to your iTunes library on your computer with the first sync with iTunes after doing so.
You didn't include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data on your computer's hard drive before re-installing Windows?
If not, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If a 3rd party app does not transfer, you can re-download the app with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

Not Possible to Purchase Songs without iTunes Application, right?

Hi, Everyone,
I was just wondering if it were at all possible to purchase songs via an Internet browser, and then download them at a later time using the iTunes application.
I currently do not have my own Internet connection as I am out of town for a couple weeks, but would like to get new music. The only places I can find in this town that has Internet connection are some small cafes with free wireless Internet. However, the connections are problematic; in this case, it takes a long time (between 15 and 20 minutes) to search for one song, add it to the Shopping Cart, then buy it successfully. However, I can download songs very quickly. I am currently on a wired connection (not my laptop), and this connection is fine, so I was hoping I could purchase songs and then just download them using my laptop on a wireless connection.
Thank you,
Victor Ly

why would you want to risk your account info on a connection at a cafe somewhere on the street? and why would you wanna buy the songs now and download them later? ....... the songs are always there, they are not going anywhere. you can still buy and download them when you think the conenction is safe and fast.... also, you can not buy songs from IE and download them from itunes, you have to buy them from itunes in order to download them in itunes ............ you can still buy songs many places on the internet from IE, but you can not download them in itunes .... they are seperate.
you can import songs into itunes tho ... if you already have them on your computer, yes you can use the add files to library in itunes.

Possible to use iPhone as external webcam with Sky...

I've got a mac running OSX 10.9.5, and an iPhone 5s running 8.1.2. Are there any iOS apps that allow you to (successfully) use your iphone as a webcam for Skype for Mac?
I say "successfully" because I've tried a number of suggested ones, and they don't work:
EpocCam by Kinoni - Skype won't recognize it as a video source
WebCamera by SHAPE GmbH/Mobiola WebCamera (same thing) - Skype won't recognize it as a video source
PocketCam by Senstic - Skype actually DOES recognize it as a video source, but there is a multi-second time lag in the video, so it's worse than having no video.
I even tried installing Skype 2.8 on my Mac (recommended in some posts on this forum), but was unable to get it to connect to the Skype network.
Anyone had any luck with any iOS apps?

Everything I had read so far says it's not possible.
What you have read is correct.
Anyone have any insight?
The iPhone simply does not have the Bluetooth profiles required to allow this.
