Using the original iPhone without service

i just switched to the iPhone 3Gs...as for my original iPhone, i know i can still use it as an iPod. and i can still use safari and maps but with WiFi, correct?...if so, can i use the Appstore icon and iTunes icon on the phone? and how would that work in regards to adding it to iTunes on my computer?
also, if i want to give my original iPhone to someone else, what do i have to do? remove the sim card? how would i reset the original phone to its original setting, wiping it clean of anything i added on to it(phone numbers, music, movies, apps)?

Any app you can use over Wi-Fi will work just the same. iTunes will happily sync with multiple devices. As long as you are using the same iTunes Store account on computer, iPhone and de-activated iPhone, purchases should freely move around among the three.
To use the old phone as an iPod touch, make sure it keeps the SIM card, as here:

To clear out the info, you can either Restore as New via iTunes, or on the phone use Settings>General>Reset which has several options.

Use the original iPhone as a iPod Touch

I would like tlo use my original iPhone as a iPod Touch but I am unable to activate or unblock the SIM card. I cannot use my iPhone 4 SIM car on the original as it is a different size.
What now?

I did borrow the SIM card from a friends old 3G he is using an an iPod Touch. It worked.
Even more interesting is that when I placed the "problem" SIM card in the 3G it merely indicated the SIM was locked but otherwise works as intended - an iPhone without cellular service - an iPod Touch.
No idea why the 1st gen iPhone will not work with its own SIM but its SIM works in a 3G.

Can I use the original iphone in India, with a local simcard?

I've got an old 8GB 2G iphone (the first model) bought in the UK. Roaming's turned on, and I'm currently using it as a phone in India with a UK number.
However, now I've got an Indian simcard (Airtel) and I want to use it with my iphone. Will this work? And, as the phone doesn't have a UK sim in (I accessed the number online somehow, as per the instructions at the time), will I be able to get all my texts etc back when I want to switch back to the UK number?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

No, unless your phone was officially unlocked by the UK carrier it was originally locked to, and from your post stating you're roaming, it would appear your phone is not unlocked. The 2G iphone was only sold officially unlocked in France when it was introduced.

I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

Can't get iphone to recognize itunes on my computer. do i have to use the original cord to connect? i can't find the cord. please advise.

Do you mean that iTunes doesn't recognize your phone when you plug it into your computer using the usb to dock cable? If so, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. (And yes, you need to use the usb to dock cable that came with your phone. If you dont' have it you'll have to buy another one.)

Although I am using the original cable of my iphone 5 but since the update of io7 I am facing this cable of accessory is not certified warning, how can i fix it?

I have proble that appears on my Iphone 5 since the update of ios 7, the warning message says" the cable or accessory is not certified"
Although I am using the original cable but still appearing.
how can I fix it?
thanks

Apple blocked a lot of cable keys. Including official keys that were suspected of being used on non-MFI cables.
Sony, Panasonic, belkin etc all pay big $$ to have a licence to use the proprietary 'lightning' cable. Which is basically a USB cable that apple wants everyone to use. The EU has laws against creating these kinds of devices but because Apple is a monopoly they can do anything they want. USB, more particularly micro-USB is the standard for every phone and tablet device. Apple is the only manufacturer who appears ignore ewaste laws and continue to insist on ID chips in everything it makes. They would put on in your food and your brain if they could lol.
If I was a business I'd do it too ;) money money money! It's the name of the game.
Anyhow.... The bypass is software based and to bypass the block do the following.
Turn phone off.
As the phone is powering down, when the spinning icon is on the screen plug it in.
The phone will now charge, leave it for a few hours and turn it back on.
Warning - if you plug it in when it's already fully powered down the phone turns on and blocks the cable.
I know it's not ideal but it will charge your phone at least till you but some MFI / iOS 7 cables from eBay.
USB cables have never killed anyone yet somehow apple is trying to convince everyone they do lol... At least that's what their marketing team is trying like the devil to prove. I wish I could make a 50 cent cable and charge $25 for it lol.
No offence to apple but they are sliding down a slippery slope. Everyone can see the iphone walking down the path of blackberrys and Nokia over the next 5 years until it's a faded memory of a good idea that didn't innovate.

Can the original iPhone be converted into an iPod Touch?

For those of us replacing our iPhone with the new 3G iPhone, does Apple provide any kind of way to remove the phone features of the original iPhone to convert it into an iPod Touch?
In this world of being environmentally friendly, this seems like a logical option that would generate additional income for Apple since they charge for iPod Touch major firmware upgrades.

Upgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to iPad Air. I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad. Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?

I'm ipgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to a new iPad Air. I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad. Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?
Also, every time I get a new device and transfer stuff from the old, I wind up with no folders. How can I avoid that this time?
Thanks in advance!

Make a backup of your old iPAd to itunes or iCloud.
Then restore from that backup when setting up the new iPad Air.
The restore will put your data onto the new iPad. (The Os will remain at 7).
Folder structure is a little iffy. Since backups don't restore Apps, only data, you would still need to re-download the Apps to the new Air and as such would need to create the folders for them.

Hello all,
I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
1. How to fix this?
2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
OSX 10.10.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Duncan.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

How do I use my original iphone for videos & apps only, not as phone

I want to use my original iphone as a video and app player(not a phone) for my daughter, using my library of purchases on my account. I have an iphone 3G and my original iphone is not being used. How do I do this?

After an iPhone is no longer activated, you can't install a firmware update or restore the iPhone with iTunes (which re-installs the firmware) since activation is required in order to do so.
I'm not aware of a way to roll a restore back.
If you have the SIM card that was used when this iPhone was activated, you can try inserting the SIM card and do another restore. Someone here reported that it is possible to install a firmware update or restore an iPhone with iTunes that is no longer activated as long as the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when activated is inserted.

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

How can I export a folder of images using the original file data?

I have edited my images within the "Develop" mode, but now need to export as jpg's using those settings (note: some are now B&W) and then I also need to process as jpg's using the original settings (color), so my client has all the original color files as well. My files were all shot in the Nikon RAW format, but I can't figure out how to export all the images without using the develop adjustments I have made to each file, including having changed many to B&W. Is there a way to do this? Note that I also don't want to lose all of my adjustments, so can't just reset them all, if that's even an option.

2) Now I need to export all the images that have at least 2 stars
(around 1200), so I can give the client a folder of "originals." This
way, they can view images that didn't make the final edit (album) and
will also be able to print an image that I converted to B&W for
their album in color.
First of all, I think making a backup of your directory (using Explorer or Finder or whatever) might be prudent before you start this little experiment!
So, all of your originals are in one folder, and ~1200 of those are 2-star and 384 are 5-star and have edits, correct?
What might be easiest (although not the most effecient) is to just click on the folder, then use the Library Filter to select everything that's 2 stars and above. This will select all the images that need exporting.
Then follow Jao's instructions for creating a new collection and removing the edits. Make SURE you create your new collection with VIRTUAL COPIES or you're going to wipe out everything you've done.
Your new collection should then have virtual copies of everything 2-star and above, in their original unadulterated state. You can then export to JPG.
I think from now on I will export those files with 2 stars first, then narrow down the the final 384 and make adjustments
You could always create a collection of your "keepers" (2-stars and above). Then, for every image you want to edit, be sure to edit the virtual copy and then put it in a subcollection under the main collection.
That way you kind of have a history of what you did, and you can export (or re-export) at any time. You don't even really need to keep the exported JPGs around, since you can always re-export.
Scott Kelby has a Lightroom book that illustrates this kind of workflow much better than I can. I highly recommend it.

Problem with the original iphone.

i have the original iphone for the past year and half.
i've dropped it many times, but it didn't harm the iphone.
the other day, i dropped it, and it died. it didn't respond to nothing.
until i plugged it to the charger, and to the computer.
than when i pressed the sleep/wake button then it lights up and you can see the apple logo.
but it shuts down again after a minute.
i tried to restart it while it was plugged, so it restarts but goes back to- lighting up and showing the logo.
how can i save my iphone?

Either the battery is not charging properly, or your iPhone is knackered as a result of you dropping it repeatedly. Without seeing it, I would assume it is the latter that has caused the fault. I suggest you take it to an Apple Store or to your network operator and seek some advise as to whether it is repairable or not.

Does the SSL cert vulnerability affect the original iphone? CVE-2011-0228

The software update for iOS 4.3.5 claims that a patched vulnerability doesn't affect the original iPhone
Products Affected: iPad, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 3GS, Product Security
Available for: iOS 3.0 through 4.3.4 for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 (GSM), iOS 3.1 through 4.3.4 for iPod touch (3rd generation) and later, iOS 3.2 through 4.3.4 for iPad
However, the original security advisory which prompted this security update implies that it is affected:
Version affected: Versions Prior to 5.0b4, 4.3.5, and 4.2.10
Can anyone clarify if the original iPhone is affected?

Hi Ramkumar,
The report is complaining that the Certificate Authority who signed the ID certificate presented by the ASA used a weak hashing algorithm. First, you need to determine who signed the certificate.
If the certificate is self-signed by the ASA, you can generate a new certificate and use SHA1 as the hashing algorithm. To do this, the ASA needs to be running a software version that is at least 8.2(4) (8.3 and 8.4 software also support SHA1).
If the certificate is signed by an external CA, you need to contact them and ask them to sign a new certificate for you using SHA instead of MD5.
The links you posted have more information on this as well. Hope that helps.
-Mike
