Japanese IPhone 6 use in America as iPod?

Hi all!

I lived in Japan for 2 years and will come to America next month. My Japanese iPhone 6 is currently in contact by AU. I'll be the cancellation of the contract, but Japanese phones are usually "locked" to their business. Therefore, I had trouble finding a buyer for the phone because it is carrier locked and get terrible price for it by the second hand stores ($30,00!)

I also have an iPhone American 6 (I bought one month before his departure for the Japan not realising that I would go to Japan, long story). Just recently, my (American) iPod broke irreparably.

My question is, when I get back to America, I do not have the Japanese iPhone like a 'phone' by seeing how I have a U.S. iPhone perfect condition and little used. I am able to use my iPhone Japanese 6 just like an iPod and an additional camera? It will connect to my US iTunes account and let me be ync my American music to it? Or it won't allow me to connect to the my iTunes American as it is of Japanese origin?

Any idea is appreciated, thank you!

Yes.

Be sure to keep the Japanese Sim Card into the slot. If you decide to restore it, he must be there for activation, even if she hasn't attached service.

In addition, you should be able to change the Apple ID used for all services on your an American.

  • Could I buy an iPhone and use it as an iPod Touch?

    I want to buy an iPhone 5s, but I don't want to pay for it every month to use it. It is possible to use the iPhone as an iPod Touch, can someone explain to me how I could do this? Also, I heard that a message will appear every time that you turn on the iPhone If you do not use a SIM card. I don't think I'll need a SIM card if I use it as an iPod Touch, so is it possible to stop the message?

    Thank you very much!

    Yes you can use it like an iPod. Your best bet might leave an inactive SIMS in it. You don't have to have a contract to use it just for a Wi - Fi connection or music. This can help:

  • How can I sync my iphone 6 to my 4th generation ipod?

    I had the ipod for a few years now, it is a 4th generation and 32 GB. My iphone is fairly recent, but she is only 16 GB. I buy songs from Itunes on my iphone 6 new songs that I bought off of my iphone do not give on my ipod. I need because the iphone continues to remove them. They are still on my iphone, but in a shade of gray. I don't have access to my old office to synchronize. I can use my brother's Office. New purchased songs aren't on my ipod, that's where I want to be because it is a 32 GB and they fit on there.

    You cannot synchronize the iDevices like that.

    You will need to use a computer to transfer all purchases from iPhone to it, to then be able to synchronize with the iPod Touch.

    The 4th Gen iPod Touch will not be able to play the pieces obtained from the Apple music subscription Service, as they cannot be synced to it, and she can use the Apple's music subscription service itself.

    Have your brother create a user for you on his computer, so you can create a library of iTunes top where to synchronize with the iPod Touch.  Once the library is created and authorized to your account, your purchases of transfer and then synchronize with the iPod.

  • When you use Itunes on my Ipod Touch 5 generation, the Ipod is no longer automatically past from one song to another. This seems to be a novelty. There is a button on the RIGHT side of the upper third of the screen where you can choose options but go n0.

    When you use ITunes on my Ipod Touch 5 Gen, running IOS 9.2, he has recently stopped automatically switch a song on one album to another while listening to ITunes. I discovered a button with 3 points to the RIGHT side of each title of the song which, when typed gives a different options for example then played, add up to the next etc.. If you use these all this seems to get worse with more choices that appear. I know that sounds incredible, but I have owned several Ipods that I use just for listening to music. Mine is a 32 GB version that can store a large number of albums, most of which I bought and loaded into my Ipod. A few albums that I downloaded from ITunes. How can I get it from my Ipod to listen to music in the ITunes application without having to select one of the 55 options?

    • On the front panel of the printer, please press the wireless button
    • By using the buttons on the right, highlight and select wireless settings
    • Highlight and select Restore Defaults
    • Select Yes. A message appears indicating that the default values of the network have been restored
    • Open your application settings on your Apple device, please
    • Please click on wifi and choose the network that starts with "HP-SETUP.  This should connect to your Apple device to the printer
    • Now you should be able to print using the 'Action' icon.  If there is not a print option when you press the action icon following all guidelines for Apple AirPrint

    If you go to print and your Apple device does not see the network, you will need to follow the procedure again. It should be at least 60 minutes before the HP - Setup network ceased broadcasting.

  • Impossible to make FaceTime calls on iPhone 7 using Siri

    I tried to use Siri to do a FaceTime call tonight and gave an unusual error: "I wish I could, but FaceTime is configured with me yet."

    I'm able to get Siri to open the FaceTime app, simply cannot access directly from my contacts and apart from this Siri works fine on the iPhone 7, including SMS and regular audio calls.

    I tried a FaceTime using Siri call on 3 old iPhone models (5s, 6 + and 6s), all running iOS 10, and it worked properly on each of them, she was with both iOS 9 and 10 on the same model of 6s for the past year, so this leads me to believe it's a problem iPhone 7 (or an individual defective unit) rather than a problem of iOS 10.

    I checked a number of settings on the iPhone 7 before coming here:

    • Siri is enabled.
    • FaceTime is activated.
    • Restrictions (general-> Restrictions) are completely shut down.
    • iCloud-> contact is activated.

    Hi there jsf23!

    Welcome to Apple Support communities, it's my pleasure to help you with your iPhone 7 issue of Siri is not able to make FaceTime calls.  I use Siri all the time and have his power making FaceTime calls is another great feature.  Looks like you have checked a lot of things I want to check too, if I fell on the same subject.

    At any time, that there is a problem with Siri or FaceTime, the first thing I recommend is to restart the iPhone and retest Siri and FaceTime.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If Siri is still underway on issues from a FaceTime call, try to perform a reboot of the force.  Remember, this will be a little different on an iPhone 7.

    • On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 more: press and hold the sleep/wake and Volume buttons down for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    Test again and then try to check for updates.

    Update the software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch iOS

    Have a great day!

  • iPhone battery use issues - new

    Since the upgrade to 9.2.1 (I skipped a few versions to go straight to this version) the consumption of the battery exploded in the sky?

    My battery is only about 6 months only, but barely lasts the day now, even after be left on the charger all night.

    When I get home it is about to die, so that I have charge for 1 to 1.5 hours (100%), then I need to put it on the charger again before going to bed, otherwise he'll be dead in the morning when I wake up.

    I noticed the new 'Battery' feature, when the message stating to "Low Power" mode when you get to 20% or less.

    When I look at the statistics of battery, I see that Siri uses the most powe and just below Siri is a line that indicates: weak Signal.

    I disabled Siri (but), but Siri always uses the most power and the low message Signal always shows?

    Hello whyisitsotom,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that the battery on your iPhone life is not as long as you expect, and when we look under settings > battery to see what applications or services use the battery of your iPhone, you see a notification that says weak Signal below Siri.

    To ensure that your iPhone is to give you the longest possible battery life, I suggest you read on the article which contains information about optimizing your settings.
