only use iPhone 4S like iPod

I had to spend my right 90 year old father in a house where there isn't much for him to do.  Until a few months ago he was quite active at home in the garden and in the airport hangar.  Anyway, he said that he would like to be able to listen to music to help pass the time.  Unfortunately, his faculties pass fast enough and it must be as simple as possible now.  It won't use WiFi to connect to my family into account Apple's music.  I sync songs from my Mac.  What I have to do is to hide everything else about the phone except having the button visible music that when it click on it just shows the playlists to select and then the basic volume iPod functions, play, pause and move forward?  If he gets lost in everything else it can do, it will just make frustrated.  In fact, I need it to work like the old iPods did who were just music players.  Is anyway to do this or a soft I can load up on what can help?  Thank you.

You can be a part of what you want. Native applications can not be deleted, but you can hide them in some measure by placing in a new folder and then move this folder to a new home page. You can go on barriers and limit as much you can. But no matter, it is not possible to prevent all misfortunes, sorry.

  • can't use the iphone 6 s more like ipod touch for calls/texts?

    OK, it's probably a unique situation. I have two iPhones to verizon. One is a 6 sec more not active, the other is a 5s which is activated. Basically, I use 5S for when I go out (where I prefer to use a hand on a bigger screen), and I want to use the 6s more as a second phone (via continuity) exclusively at home (where I prefer a bigger screen on one-handed use), but I am running into problems.

    First of all, let me say that I tried a mini ipad for a few weeks... twice... and every time I found it is too big for what I wanted. I wanted a screen larger than my 5s at home, but I wanted to still be able to easily grab a single hand and use my thumb to scroll. And I wanted to put always in my pocket when I was moving from room to room of my house. The mini was simply too great for that. The 5.5 "more does the job much better. But then again, I prefer the small size of 5 when I when I go out, especially since I don't spend much time on my phone outside the House, so I couldn't use more to replace my main phone.

    I would like therefore to anchor my 5s when I go home and just use my more like my phone then at home. The problem is trying to get calls and texts of the function on the most through continuity. Both devices are signed in my Apple ID and are the same wifi network. But on my more...

    In message settings, under "imessage" he says only: "awaiting activation...". »

    In Facetime settings, under 'facetime' he also says 'awaiting activation... ". »

    The messages app shows no history of conversation.

    The facetime app, shows, however, that ONE of my previous facetime calls in history. The strange thing is that this call is not listed in my 5s facetime app even though it shows the call history, before and after this date.

    I tried to send/receive texts on my 5 since setting up the most and none appear on my. I tried to make a call, but there was some message automatic verizon to pay money to make the call. Tried not to receive phone calls still well.

    As I understand it, iphones that are not activated are simply ipod touch, but for some reason, this does not seem to be true, since on ipod touch, facetime and messages can connect to one identifier Apple and manage the calls and texts with full transparency.

    Any ideas? Much appreciated!

    Sorry... I'm a bit confused. Which phone has the SIM inside? You will use the 6 s + as an iPod Touch, but your post seems to say that you will use it as a phone your title says.

    Regardless, I think that you need to activate the "iPod Touch", using a SIM card, and then you could remove it. You would lose any function that relies on the SIM door of course.

    Activation of a phone is a thing of the part 2. One for the carrier, one for Apple. A real iPod Touch activation would be fair for Apple.

    I don't think or other device would do anything if not enabled. Internally, your two devices are phones and probably must be activated in this way. Out the SIM card after activation would be where your phone becomes an iPod Touch.

  • 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:

  • Bought a used iPhone 4S about six months ago. Not configured for all files huuuuge icloud. Only mail (which I cut on a regular basis), but no pictures. Why do I get the message that my storage is full? Why do I pay Apple for storage?

    I bought a used iPhone 4S about six months ago. Got an AT & T plan with data. Not upgrade to iOS 9.3 I read that it wasn't a good idea for older phones. Implement iCloud for ONLY mail and SMS. No pictures. I have cut my weekly mail.

    Now, I get a notice that iCloud is already full, and I have to pay for more storage. Why? There is nothing on the phone! I also have an iPad3 and a banal ASUS PC, which is where I store my photos and my photos. How would you complete the storage? Why do I pay Apple more money? They do not have enough?

    Go to settings/general/storage and use iCloud. Click on storage management in the ICLOUD section. It will tell you exactly how your iCloud-storage space is affected.

    So, I have a few guess strange question, but I'm having a hard time finding an answer...

But my big question is, to use as a fitness tracker I need to activate it? GPS capabilities, for a more effective follow-up, will be active even if the phone is not activated on a network?

  • If I buy only Flash Professional, will I be able to use older versions like CC 2014 instead of the latest version (CC 2015)?

    Hello world

    I want to buy Flash Professional and I have a mac with OS X 10.8 on it.

    If I wanted to buy a subscription to Flash, it says that I get the latest version of Flash, what is Flash Professional CC 2015.

    For Flash Professional CC 2015 you need OS X 1.9 or more, but I don't want to upgrade my computer because I use Logic Pro 9 that does not work with OS X 1.9.

    So my question is:

    "If I buy only Flash Professional, will I be able to use older versions like CC 2014 instead of the latest version (CC 2015)?"

    I hope someone can help me, thanks!

    Yes, you can use flash pro cs6, cc, cc 2014, cc 2015 and probably more in the future.

  • 5s short battery life iPhone, phone like new 6 months.

    I bought my iPhone about 6 months ago. I have problems with the battery life. I plug all night. Unplug in the morning and about 4 hours he spends 100% to 40%, even without me using the telephone. I thought to buy a new battery from Amazon and change myself. I found videos on YouTube showing how do, and it seems very easy to do. Someone out there chaned their own battery before? Was it easy to do? And your phone has worked for you once you have changed your battery yourself?

    Just thought I ask. I am one of these people if it's something I can do for my part, I do. Does anyone has an entry on the situation before I try this on my own?

    Hello

    The battery on the iPhone is not replaceable by the user. The battery - if that is the real problem - is covered by the limited warranty of one year of Apple.  If the iPhone is out of warranty, Apple also offers a service of the battery. The cost for this varies across countries (currently $79 in the United States, for example).

    However, as a first step, I suggest that you try to solve the problem of life battery. You can, for example, to consider measures such as:

    If the problem persists, I suggest you contact Apple technical support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance in identifying / confirming the issue and, if necessary, to set up your service from the available battery options, time and cost.

    To check your warranty status:

  • using iPhone to track elderly parent

    Ok. so I googled this and thought to throw out to the mac cognescenti. advance apologies if this isn't the right forum for this, but apple seems to come with great new tools very frequently. Anyway, here goes:

    is it good hardware or software to track an elderly parent that needs to be followed for their safety? I mean, assuming that they give permission or assuming that they are beyond the point where they can give the permission is there such thing as a small bracelet that let me do this using my iphone and a kind of software?

    find my iphone seems like it does something similar, but that's assuming that the phone battery is not dead, and assuming they take the phone with them which are the two major assumptions - which is correct?

    ALSO, I just saw there was a framework for friends and family on icloud.com but nobody knows how it works? can I turn on his phone and have access to the place where it is if her phone is with him, and when its battery is turned on? I mean, how is it different that simply connect to her icloud account using the icloud.com safari url - assuming that they gave you their login information?

    Thank you

    Find my iPhone is similar to find my iPhone, it is for use with people that you do not have access to their iCloud ID. Whatever it is, you can not follow if the battery is dead, or if the unit is off. Find my iPhone is the best choice you have right now.
