What does the iphone have that the ipod touch doesn't?

i was just wondering what the iphone has that the ipod touch doesn't if there is anything. (Apart from the obvious phone and maybe the camera)

The ipod touch has most of the same functions as the iphone with the exception of the phone, the camera, and the gps (and any features that require those functions). My wife uses one as an ipod, a very nice device, especially if you are normally in range of a wifi network.

The volume button on my ipod touch doesn't work unless headphones are plugged in?

Hi there,
So I have had this ipod for a while now but just recently it's doing this thing where i can press the side volume buttons but they don't do anything unless the earphones are plugged in. i have reset it a number of times and had it plugged into my computer to charge it completely and nothing works. when i go to play music on the ipod without the headphones, the slider doesn't even show up...any suggestions??

Try restoreing the iPOd, first from backup and then to factory defaults /new iPOd if the problem persists. If you still have the problem then you likely have a defective headphone jack.
In that case I would make an appointment at the Genisu Bar of an Apple store to confirm.

HT1430 I already own an iPhone & have purchased and iPod touch for my husband. How can I have a completely separate Apple ID for both of the devices?

I have purchased an iPhone 4s 2 years ago and recently purchased an iPod touch for my husband while he was abroad working. I used the same Apple ID when setting up the iPod touch but now I want to know how I can have two separate Apple IDs. One for his iPod touch and one for my iPhone?

Create a new ID and start using it.
You will not be able to transfer your existing purchases and updates will require knowing the password for the old ID.

Can You Use The iPhone 4S As An Ipod Touch?

I'm just curious...
I currently have the ipod touch 3G and last weekend I found out that it won't be compatiable with iOS 6 and I'm gonna have to get a new ipod.
I want an iphone BUT do you need to activate it with a carrier (which I don't want) in order to use the itunes store/app store on it or can you just use it like you would an ipod touch?

You activate with Apple not a carrier but you do need "A" sim
in a new iPhone to activate the iPhone
The above link will help on using without a sim

How do I change the hard drive that my ipod touch syncs to on a windows 7 pc

I have Windows 7 software on my pc. I have a ipod touch 64 gb and I don't have the space to sync it to my primary drive but I do on my secondary drive.
How do I get the files to sync to my secondary drive instead so I can update to newer software and restore my music/videos/contacts

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and change the location of the iTunes medic folder to the external HD. You will then have to import the library items into the new library.

What assurances do we have that the rescue email will be kept confidential?

I've had to add a rescue email. I keep my email fairly segmented to keep the spam down and help me track who is passing our my email to others. I don't agree that this was necessary beyond Apple wanting another piece of data about us.
How can I make sure that my new email will not be sold/sent to an outside entity?

I have bought an iPod touch 4g and installed TomTom Europe app. How do I get a decent GPS signal, since the TomTom carkit doesn't do the job?

I have bought an iPod Touch 4g and installed TomTom Europe GPS app. How do I get a decent GPS signal in my car, since the TomTom car kit for Ipod Touch doesn't do the job for the ipod Touch 4g?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

The bakup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
If you still have the one 2G with the Netflix app, delete the new NetFlix app from her computer anf then transfer iTunes purchased to the iTunes library by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Then sync to her iPod. You may have to sign the iPod into the account that purchased it to sync it.

How do I make the iPhone use only the Address Book contacts?

I just spent some time cleaning up my Address Book on my Mac. I want to sync it back to the iPhone so that the phone shows the exact same contacts. How do I know what will override which contacts are used? I don't want the iPhone to merge anything, I want a clean start with the Address Book I just cleaned up.
Going forward of course I will want to keep contacts I've added on the phone, but for now the Address Book is most current.

Hey Exit,
Click on the iPhone on the left side of iTunes, under Devices> Click Info above the picture of the iPhone> scroll to the bottom and check Contacts under Advanced Replace Information on this iPhone.
This will erase the contacts on the iPhone and replace them with contacts in Address Book.

Turn My iPhone 4 into an iPod Touch?

Hi,
I'm sorry if this question has been asked (seems like it would be a fairly common question). I've used the search feature, as well as Google, but most of the threads/answers I've found seem to be "one-off" type of questions that don't really address the general issue.
Anyway, I had an iPhone 4. I just bought a new iPhone 5s. I simply want to turn the iPhone 4 into an iPod touch so that I can continue to use it to listen to music and podcasts while I'm exercising (seems like a better option than to risk dropping my brand new iPhone). What do I need to do this? Do I need to remove the SIM card? If so, how do I do this?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I too have a question on this. I have upgraded to the 5s and want to give my iphone 4 to my daughter to use as an ipod touch with no sim. I'm having difficulty setting up imessage and facetime on the device? I've followed a few posts an have erased all contents and all settings, put the old sim in (it is still active with network), set the phone up using itunes account with sim in with no success.... Waiting for activation...... is the status
You could/can use imessage and facetime on my old ipod touch so am I right in thinking that you can also do this with the iphone 4 with no sim?
If so how..............

I have an old ipod touch which won't go past the Apple logo, all it does is show me a loading symbol, but will go no further, i have tried restoring it and i have been successful. It connects and is recognised by my itunes and computer, but still after restoring it, it just won't get passed the logo..what can i do? what is the problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

When you restore via iTunes iTunes will download the firmware(ipsw) file. It could be that the microwave damaged the iPod and iTunes does not know what it is.

I have my iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID. My daughter tried to change the settings on the ipod so that she could facetime on both her ipod and iphone which is on a separate Apple ID. I no longer have a 3G connection.

I have an iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID. My daughter who uses the ipod tried to change the apple ID on the ipod to be the same with her apple ID on her own Iphone so that she can use facetime on both devices. Not sure what she did but my 3G connection is no longer working.

Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

What does the iphone have that the ipod touch doesn't?
