Apple TV just ate a gig of cell data thru iPad hotspot and all I was doing was playing iTunes off Mac
1 Gig on a 4 gig cell plan gone forever and it's only 8 days into billing month. iPad has wifi and personal hotspot on. Mac mini and ATV both connected. All I'm doing is playing iTunes and running photos from Mac to TV. No movies, no surfing on ATV. 2 hours later I happened to check the iPad and all this cell data is used up. Oh yeah, I also had an old iPhone connected to use as ATV remote. It all works great but I really need to know what, why and where the cell data went.
Yes I live in an area where my only choice for internet in thru cell towers. Thus a 3 gig plan on iPhone and a 4 gig plan on iPad. Expensive yes, but I have little choice and now I am stuck till a new billing period starts. Thankfully none of the devices downloaded 8.0.2 or I'd really be screwed. For that I have to go begging for someone's cable connection or try a public wifi if I have 4 hours to kill.
Side gripe. Since you can no longer get OS upgrades on CD, the Mac never did get Maverick upgrade. Setting up a wifi connection to download 4-5 gigs to Mac ain't gonna happen. I tell ya, us off the wired grid people get no respect.
Another day, another failure. ATV will not connect to iPad wifi unless Personal Hotspot is turned on which you can't turn on without Cellular Data being turned on. So, at this point I have a $99 brick. Oh wait, it cached my photos and displays those just fine. Thanks so much Apple for thinking of us stuck in "3rd world country" outside a major US city. ATT does not offer U-verse in our area, there's no cable service and I'll be damned if I get a satellite dish with 500 stations I don't want to watch.
As it is now I have 1 gig of cell data left on my iPad for the next 3 weeks which if I manage wisely will be just enough to read the local newspaper pdf each morning. Well, the iPhone gets it's 3 gig allotment in a few days so that is enough for basic stuff - like logging in here and ********.
FYI - I tried a software update at MickyD yesterday just for grins - 3 hours remaining, then 2 hours, then 5 hours… Right….
Guess I should be happy iTunes didn't automatically download U2.

I just verified that i have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and the airplay icon does not appear. i also have a 2013 Macbook Pro which shows the airplay icon. do i need to enable airplay on my early 2011 or is there an update that is needed? Confused.
To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

So I just updated my iphone 4S to iOS 6 and was having fun trying the panorama pictures, and all of the sudden my phone turned off (it was fully charged so it's not out of batery and it felt warm) and it has since not turned on again. Suggestions?
Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality. -
I just did the update 6.0 for my iPad 2 and YouTube is no longer an app.
I just downloaded the 6.0 update for my iPad 2 and YouTube is no longer an app installed on the iPad. That app I spent most of my free time on and want it back. Is there any way to get it back or at least suggest it to apple.

You can suggest it to Apple all you want, but given that Apple has been getting rid of everything Google-related lately (that's why iOS 6 has a new non-Google maps app)...
Aside from the new YouTube app from Google, you can still use YouTube in Safari and save a home screen icon for it. -
I just set up icloud on my ipad 1 and all of my appointments from calendar are gone. What happened to them and can I get them back?
Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll. -
I downloaded a game from apple store and while I was playing the mac blocked... what can I do?

Nothing that I push doesn;t make anything!By blocked, do you mean froze, or locked up?
Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns off. Turn it back on. -
I just test drove a Lexus ES with the Entune system, and it not only didn't play the music I expected, it caused the iPod to become totally unresponsive, even my computer doesn't recognize it? Is there a fix for this?
This problem sort of solved itself. The iPod kept running until the battery went dead, and when I plugged it in to power this morning, it behaved normallyh.

can someone please guide me to find my fonts...using Windows 7 and all are in my font folder in control panel and were just fine in CS5 but when i just upgraded from Illustrator cs5 to cs6 WIN (not cloud) and all my fonts did not transfer..only have Myriad. thanks
To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)?
And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems? But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them? -
I have an ipad 1 and all was fine until the other day and now I can't connect to itunes a box pops up saying cannot allocate memory, what does this mean and howdo I fix it
Try quitting all apps and restart your iPad. Maybe you are running out of memory on the iPad. It's worth a try.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try a reset,
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
So I dropped it... And the screen cracked a bit. It's fairly new (got it in November) but I noticed Apple doesn't cover accidents like mine. Anyone know the prices for getting a replacement/ repair? It's not that bad of a crack, but it's annoying and new so..Yah. Any help with prices for a replacement/warranty would be helpful and on how I should do it. Maybe I can get a replacement for cheap or free cuz I got it recently and I've never complained to Apple before? I know it's my mistake but I'd be thankful if you guys could help! Thanks!
Sorry, but the warranty does not cover accidental damage no matter how recently you got your iPod. As to servicing, Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.

Okay, I just downloaded IOS 6 on my iPad 2, and it deleted the youtube app that was already installed when I got the iPad, I downloaded the new app from the apple store and it doesn't fit my screen, this is ******* me off and I would like it back.
Here is the thing the actual license for Apple to have a native YouTube app has expired you must understand this more about Apple removing Google from its ecosystem and less about actual licenses. If Apple was so inclined I am almost certain they could have continued to provide a native YouTube app.
Do you really think that Apple Maps are "better" for iOS users? You know that you can set your default search to another provider such as Bing? Imagine Apple changing its default Safari search to Bing. You must understand that Google makes more from searches on iOS devices than it does on everyting that is Andriod (source:http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-earns-four-times-more-from-ios-than-a ndroid/). Apple is slowly and meticulously working on freeing iOS of Google products.
Of course it is a free market and Apple will most certainly allow Google's apps on their app store. -
Hello, for some strange reason I cannot open any of the apps I have. I have tried turning the ipad on and off and this doesn't work. I can open everything else (videos, camera, etc) just no apps. Can anyone help please?
If it's the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
i have just bought a brand new ipad 2 and i cant get it to sync with itunes on my pc, running windows vista. Tried all the stuff on the itunes diagnostics but still cant get itunes to pick it up. Any ideas.
Try both of these -
Connect your iPad to your computer
Open My computer / Computer
Locate the Apple camera icon
Right click on it and go to Properties
There should be a place to set what will happen each time the device is connected, set it to do nothing.

i just upgraded the version of my i-phone from 4.3.1 to 5.1.1 did the whole back up thing,a nd all my songs were backed onto my lapptop, thru i-tunes , and now since i no songs on my i-phone i was told i have to go back and transfer my songs back onto my phone. I went back into i-tunes and unkess it literally says transfer songs to phone, i have no idea what to do. I am totally and completely lost. HELP
Your music should be in your iTunes library, and you should be able to sync with iTunes to transfer you music back to your phone. To do this confirm the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.
