Use iPhone as iPod (without support) 6
So im thinking of buying an iPhone unlocked from craigslist and I want to know if I can use the iPhone as an iPod, basically no phone support, wifi only. ,
Of course, works perfectly. You will need a SIM in there to activate it with Apple. You can remove the SIM card in the future, but it must be in the unit for activation.

Use iPhone as iPod and Fitness Tracker
So, I have a few guess strange question, but I'm having a hard time finding an answer...
I have a unlocked iPhone 6s I bought off eBay with a screen of crack for cheap. I'm looking to use it as an iPod and a discount tracker-shaped. Of course, the part of iPod is easy. 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?
Thank you for your time!
Hi LadyG4309,
Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I'm sure we can help you on with your question, or at least you pointed in the right direction. To access most of the features on an iPhone, it would need to be activated. If you are experiencing problems activating your iPhone, you can find information and troubleshooting procedures described in the following article useful:
If you can not activate your iPhone - Apple Support
On the other hand (since it is a second hand iPhone), if you see a lock of the Activation screen, you can find this article most useful:

I bought a used iPhone 4s to a friend of mine, and they took their offshore and all iCloud account as they were supposed too. It still won't let me complete the set up it says that my card SIM of Fido is not supported, but the last time I saw the information of the carrier when the person that I bought the phone he said 15.5 Fido I think. Do I need to phone apple or what I call fido and to somehow cope? I myself remember having to change devices when using a fido handset represent the last I checked, and I'd love to have this figured out without having to pay more money. Help lol
The error you see on the SIM not supported is indicative of the device being locked to another carrier SIM card that you provide to. I suggest you check that with your friend and see if this device has been locked to another carrier. Could be called Apple, but all they could do was tell you what carrier of the device is locked to Apple do not unlock phones. Once find you the carrier, you need to contact and see if provide unlocking services, and if they do, see if you qualify to unlock. Once again, your best first call is to the friend you bought it from.

bought used iphone need help to activate without sim
I bought a used iPhone 4 trying to activate, but guard saying need sim, I don't have that I just want to start so that my son can download him a few games and then I can buy a phone plan and SIM at a later date... Help
You must obtain cellular service from a local supplier who will provide the SIM card. Note that if the device is locked otherwise you may not be not able to use it at all.
It requires the Apple ID and password from the previous owner. If you don't have it and can't get it, then the device is useless to you. Return it for a refund, if you can, or take it to an Apple store for an Exchange, I hope they will help you.

10 iOS iphone SMS open without entering a password! You can respond to text messages without entering a password! How to fix my TEXT with my access code?
Hi, jandianajones!
Thank you for reaching out by Apple Support communities. From your post, I see that you want to stop your Messages to be accessible on the lock screen. I completely understand wanting to keep your conversations private and to prevent their access without your access code. I'd be happy to help you to know what options you have!
For added convenience, app Notifications have a setting that allows them to be seen and interacted with on your lock screen. It is a setting entirely optional and can be disabled for individual applications under settings > Notifications. Tap the application that you want to adjust (in your case, Messages) and toggle the "Show on lock screen" switch in the off position. You can still receive alert sounds when a message arrives through to be notified, you have received one, but it will not appear on your lock screen. To view, unlock your iPhone and go directly to the Messages app.
More information on Notifications, including how they work and what options you have with them, can be found here: Use of Notifications on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
See you soon!

iPhone and iPod on the same library of music
I have an iPhone 5 and a iPod nano 7th generation. Can I use the same itunes library for two devices with no data goes missing when I switch between them, or should I create a different library for each?
Basically, I want to know that if I plug in my phone to the computer and sync new music, then I unplug and plug my iPod without changing libraries and synchronize the music even without any problem?
Both are on the same Apple ID as my itunes on the computer.
Hey Behr0208,
There is no problem of synchronization of multiple devices to a computer / iTunes library. iTunes keeps track of each device and syncs them separately. Make sure you remove the device before unplugging it. :-)
For an overview, please see
Synchronize your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iTunes - Apple Support
For different synchronization scenarios, see
How to use several devices iPhone, iPad or iPod with a computer - Apple Support
Looks like you want the section:
Synchronize playlists devices
You can use several devices on a computer without creating multiple user accounts. To do this, you can set iTunes to update each device with only certain playlists. This method allows you to put all your music, for example, your iPod and keep your iPod shuffle, updated with only your music training. Here's how with iTunes:
- Create new playlists iTunes on Mac and Windows that contain all the music you want to sync to each device.
- Synchronize your device.
Note: iTunes for Windows doesn't support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time.
Enjoy.

Not having is not an option for using the disc in iTunes is to limit this I'll have to rethink my support of apple products and recommendations to buy. Quote the file number *.

One that tells you that you can not keep the iTunes library on an external drive is incorrect.

Want to use 3 G iPod in the car but don't charge via Firewire
I have a 3G iPod that I would use in my car, but for some reason that I can only load using a charger that has a port Firewire output which then connects to a 30 pin adapter Firewire port. It is extremely heavy, and while I managed to get away with this arrangement in the House, I would like to use the iPod in my car, but about 6 or 8 different Chargers I tried working on three different iPhones and iPod 5G, none works with the 3G iPod - despite the specs mention it.
There was no separate charger when I bought it and it has always been used with Firewire configuration except when I had it installed on a previous car with a Harman Kardon iDrive system, which I don't have.
Surely, it should not be impossible to load a 3G iPod in a car. I would be grateful of any advice or tips.
Nevermind, I just found out why it does not work - I knew not that there is a difference between the 30-pin 12v and 5v USB Firewire input. I had assumed that 30-pin, this could have been housed.
I guess that manufacturers who claim that their Chargers work on iPod 3G simply do not know that either.
