Sprint/CDMA iPhone 4 into iPod touch?

I have a Sprint (CDMA) iPhone 4 that is due to be deactivated on 2/26. Ive already erased all my data, removed it from my iTunes account, turned off iMessaging etc. to get ready for resale but maybe I'll just keep it as an iPod Touch.. Each of the walkthroughs I've read talk about having an active SIM card when going through making it into an iPod but being a Sprint phone there is no SIM card. Is there a specific way to go through setting it up, should I wait til its actually deactivated, or should I just go through like I'm setting it up as a phone and just put it in airplane mode?

I am not sure but I believe that if it has a SIM card in it and you connec the phone to itunes it should appear in the list of devices in the left margin of itunes

  • When I plug my iphone into the computer to restore it I receive a "network connection timed out" message. However, all of our other iphones and ipod touches will connect fine.

    When I plug my iphone into the computer to restore it I receive a "network connection timed out" message.  However, when I plug in other iphones or ipod touches I can connect fine.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Try a powered external USB hub.  It uses a 120V AC wall jack to power USB devices, and the Mac only needs to provide *just enough* to comminucate.  Best Buy, Target, Walmart, ... about $20.

  • When connecting my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update software, the software downloads to my laptop but when it goes to install I get an error message that says network timed out.  Any advice here please?

    For the past 2-3 months everytime I connect my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update the software through itunes I have issues.  I have tried download and install option and the download only option.  When the progress bar gets to 100 % downloading and switches to start to install I get an error message that says something like connection issue/timed out/network something.  My internet is working so what am I doing wrong when I didn't used to have this problem?

    I've been getting timed out for 2 days now, what finally worked for me was not plugging the phone into the computer and just doing the update through my wifi, worked perfectly, took less than 15 minutes

    can I turn my old Iphone into Ipod? It says that I need a valid SIM card

    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to remove the SIM card and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • Is there any way to lock a Mac via iPhone or iPod touch?

    Just wondering... Is there any free way to lock or logout a Mac using an iPhone or iPod touch? Maybe using an AppleScript and the Bluetooth built into both devices (when the iPod goes outside of the Mac's range, the computer could lock)? Any suggestions?

  • Security Vulnerability in iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch Recovery Mode

    Part of the appeal of the iPhone 3GS and related 2009 iPod Touch models is the built in hardware encryption, but a well-publiced attack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHdNoKIZUCw) by iPhone Forensics specialist Jonathan Zdziarski means that the encryption can be circumvented by putting the device into Recovery Mode, as there can allow the installation of a custom kernel WITHOUT authentication (Passcode or equivalent) being invoked (http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/iphone_encrypti.html#c386843).
    There is a rumour that a fix for this missing authentication was included in the iPhoneOS 3.0.1 "SMS" patch, but I can find no documentation that it was included in that patch, nor any other statement as to whether this has been resolved.
    I am working with clients who would be interested in replacing aging PocketPC based PDAs with a mix of iPhones and iPod Touches, but would not be interested in buying a platform with such an egregious security design issue unresolved.
    Any further information would be welcome.
    Thanks!

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

    I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account.  should I have a different account for each device?  If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

  • Our household has two IPhones, two IPod Touches, 1 IPad and 1 computer. we want to have it all under the same Apple ID for the purpose of Home Sharing, but my two kids iPODs cannot use their facetime or messaging becuase it shows they are on my iphone.

    HELP! We have several Apple devices in our household (2 iPHOnes, 2 IPOD touch, 1 iPAD), and cannot get them to work correctly becuase my two children have to be under my creditcard and apple account.

    If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.

    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???  

    If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

    my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
    any thoughts anyone??

    Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
    I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.
