Using phone as Ipod Touch

I have an original iphone I was using like an ipod touch for wifi and apps etc... not connected to at&t. After I updated to 3.0 it is prompting me to activate phone with at&t. I don't want to sign up for phone service with AT & T i just want to use my iphone on wifi, for music and apps? Can I revert back to 2.0? Can i register phone without signing up for service with at&t?

The answer is yes to all questions.
You need to leave the no longer activated SIM card inserted in the 3G - the SIM card that was used with the 3G when it was activated in order to install a firmware update on the iPhone, or restore the iPhone with iTunes if needed or wanted.
As it is possible to sync more than one iPod with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer with each iPod able to have its own sync preferences, the same applies to the iPhone.
Under the Applications tab for the iPhone sync preferences for each iPhone, choose Selected Applications. Select the applications in the window below that you want installed. Deselecting an application in the window below followed by a sync will remove the deselected application from the iPhone.

I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

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 use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

I have an old iphone 3G that I want to use as an ipod touch. It does have a sim card and it has been reset but for some reason it will not pick up my wireless network, or any other wireless network. What is the problem?

I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend for one month to use in Europe. How can I keep my iTunes account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?

I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe. How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch? Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
*From the article*:

iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
Good luck,

I had to restore the software of the ipod, I am able to drop and drag my tunes back to the ipod but not my purchased apps. I have no problem doing this with other ipods that I have synced and backed up to this computer.

I have a ipod classic 5th gen 30gb, if i download a movie or song from the current itunes i use with my ipod touch will it play? or do i have to get another type of itunes, if so which one?

i have windows 7 and a2nd gen ipod touch and i just aquired an ipod classic which is a 5th gen from 2005 with a 30 gb capacity. can i download a video movie or episode and songs from the current itunes i use for my ipod touch or is there a different one i should use? please help.

You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer. How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

Using headset with ipod touch and Skype

Trying to use headset with jack adapter on ipod touch using skype. Audio out is fine but mic doesn't seem to work. Will this work, or will I have to switch to the Apple earbuds with mic?

I have successfully tested Skype using a $20 pair of GE ear buds with microphone. It used the correct iPod Touch earphone/microphone jack.
I've also used this with voice recorder software, and so has my wife.

Do other devices connect to your router?
What do you mean by distant IP address?

HT1414 I was using my new iPod touch when...

I was using my new iPod Touch when the screen suddenly turned unresponsive, after a dozen seconds the iPod's screen turned white with colored lines. It is unresponsive and won't allow me to reset it from my computer. I was using an app and I want my iPod to work! Please help, I have many personal videos that to me seem more valuable than the device itself, please help!!!

- Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn it off then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
- If still unsuccessful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
