Using 2G iPhone as an iPod touch - will apps from App store work?

I know I can use the 2G iPhone strictly as an iPod touch. My question is, will the wi-fi feature allow me to use applications such as Facebook, Mail, etc., that are bundled with the 2g iPhone? When I get my 3GS I would like to use the 2g in this manner.

I also have a question what if I give the old phone to my brother to use as a Ipod touch would that be possible when he would sink up could he add apps under his own account? and will it take all mine off? Also will I be able to transfer all my numbers and apps to the new phone?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • If I reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so how do i get the bought one back ???

    If i reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so what about the bought ones ?

    - A reset does not delete any media (apps, music etc) from the iPod.
    - A restore will delete apps, music and other media from the iPod.  If the media is in the iTunes library then a restore from backp will restore the media and after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod you can sync the media back to the iPod.
    - If not in the iTunes libray, you can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Turn iPhone 4s into iPod Touch - will not recognize sim card

    My iPhone 4s will no longer recognize a sim card. I didn't trade it in b/c the Apple salesperson said I could still use it as an iPod touch. (I want to use it at home to play Pandora/iTunes/Sirius over wifi to bluetooth speaker.) The salesperson did not warn me not to reset the phone.
    After completing the reset, it will not allow me get past the "no sim card" message. How can I bypass this in order to use the phone as an iPod?

    Yes - I took it to ATT and they put in 2 different new sim cards. It will not recognize them at all. I took it to Apple and they said it was hardware (though after reading other discussions here, I am more suspicious of iOS 7).
    They offered a trade in but I asked if I could still use it as an iPod touch. The genius dude said yes, but did not not tell me I could never reset it. Very frustrated.

  • New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

    My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

    Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network

  • My iPod touch will access the app store, but it won't install from it.

    I was given a used iPod Touch, and I don't know any of its history. Eveything was working fine, and then one day I tried to install from the App store and it won't work at all. I can press the "install" button, but then the app store will just close without even setting up an icon on the home screen. If I try to install the same app again, there's no record that I had tried to install it previously. I use this for school, so this is really annoying.
    PS: I am a clueless Windows user, and have never owned and i-anything until now. =)

    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • New Ipod Touch: Will not delete apps, there's no x when wiggling

    This oddity didn't show up on a search of this site
    Brand new iTouch. OS 3.12 on Touch, 9.0.2.25 for iTune on a PC
    According to the manual, to delete an app, on the touch you touch/hold an icon until the wiggling starts, then tap an x in the icon's corner. Won't work. There's no x anywhere, either on the icon, or elsewhere on the screen.
    I can wiggle, tap/drag an icon to where I want., but there's no way to delete it.
    And it appears there's no way to delete apps from within iTunes on a PC or MAC.
    is this a defective unit?
    Sure would appreciate some help on this.
    Thanks in advance

    You can only delete third party applications. The original apps that came with your iPod cannot be deleted. Some of them can be hidden by using restrictions. See page 120 in the User Guide for details: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf

  • New iPod touch received today from Apple Store still running 2.2.1

    I received my 8GB iPod Touch 2G from Apple Store (Hong Kong) this morning (August 28, 2009). I order it earlier this week.
    After checking, it runs 2.2.1, not 3.0.x. Plugged in iTunes, it told me I need to pay USD9.95 to upgrade it to version 3.
    Called Apple rep and the guy said this is expected.
    I supposed all the new iPod ordered from the Apple online store should come with the latest s/w installed, or at least a promo voucher to claim the upgrade if it is not practical to upgrade all the inventory.
    Is this the case in other countries?

    OS 3.0 is sold separately as noted at the bottom of the iPod touch Software Update page:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html
    Apple have not yet announced any iPod touches that ship with v3.0 pre-installed, which is why all the product pages for the iPod touch on the Apple web-site, only list features in v2.0
    http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/
    For the last 5 years or so, new iPod models have been released in September each year.
    1st generation iPod touches were shipped with OS v1.0 in September 2007
    2nd generation iPod touches are shipped with OS v2.0 in September 2008
    3rd generation iPod touches and ones that ship with OS v3.0 have not yet been announced.

  • 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.
