20MB ipad download limit on 3G?

My iPad refuses to download, via my 3G connection, any apps or updates that are over 20MB. I've purchased 3GB of data so I can make purchases and do updates via that connection. How can I remove or change that limit and why is it there? My connection is on Australia's Telstra network.

Solved. This is a carrier limit, not an Apple limit. See my thread, same subject line in the iPad discussion.

IPad 3G 20mb Data Download Limit

Hey.. I was just wondering, how do you get rid of Apps that say "Loading" but they didn't actually download because of 20mb Data Download Limit? Any Ideas would be much appreciated!!

..Here I sit in a jungle in Costa Rica with no other option but 3G with a shiny new iPad that has to suck bandwidth from my Zoom 3G Wifi router in order to download. Glad I am paying for 2 3G chips with only one in a full functional 3G device. Thank you Zoom.
In that case, instead of Starbucks, can't you use the "coconut wireless"?
Please, no GROANS...

FOUND SOMETHING OUT!!! SPOKE TO APPLECARE!!! 20MB Download Limit on iPad 3G

just spoke to an applecare staff. told me that the download limit is set BY APPLE!!! and can not be shut down!
***?? as apple launched iOS5 they pronounced an incredible new feature "cableless". in apple keynote they said "for customers who only want to use the ipad or the iphone as their one single device, we now offer the opportunity to start up your device without connecting to your computer!"
for example: a person only uses the ipad for its single device to go online. with no WIFI @ home... how does apple imagine that customers stay up to date with this limit? there is no possibility to update the ipad or iphone or what ever, because most of updates are over 20MB!!!!
seems like apple is kidding us!

The reason for buying the 3G version is pretty obvious to me. You have Internet access anywhere where as I have to be connected to a WiFi network to use my WiFi only iPad and have Internet access.
Surely, you can't possibly need to download files larger that 20MG every minute of every single day. You may consider this to be a major drawback with the 3G iPad, and others may as well, but hardly precludes the iPad from being a PC free device.
If you need to update or download larger files, you just have to find WFi access. That's all.

Is there a way to disable the 20mb download limit in iOS 5?

I currently have an Iphone 4 which I upgraded to iOS 5. I have an unlimited data plan so I am not concerned with going over any limits. I know you can now enable High Quality video over 3g and was wondering if there is a way to disable the 20mb download limit for things like apps or itunes?
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

The 20 mb limit is not technical because
using my iPhone tethering I have downloaded
much bigger files. Apple has done this to protect
users from heavy carrier charges for unintentional
usage. Apple should allow the user to
over rule this limit through a setup option.
I don't subscribe to a broadband service, I use my
3G service for both phone and laptop. Its working
fine for me except for this irritation.
I hope this change comes is in a near release
of ios.
btw the battery life has truly improve after
5.1

3G - 20 Meg download limit

I've got a stack of prepaid credit on my ISP's 3G ipad account, and would like to use it up.
I've got a number of apps I would like to update that are over 100 Meg, but can not download them from my iPad because of the 20 Meg limit. Understandably apple have this 20 Meg limit on a mobile device - but I was wondering if there is anyway I could turn this off? Im on the road a lot and don't have access to a wireless network unless I'm in a library or somewhere like that which genously lets users download all they want via wireless.

The download limit has not increased the likelihood that I will jailbreak my iPad.

HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses

My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

Can ipad download music and transfer to ipod shuffle?

Can ipad download music and transfer to ipod shuffle?

No, you must transfer your music to an iPod Shuffle using iTunes on your computer. Read the instructions on how to sync your particular model of iPod Shuffle.

Can the iPad download software from the web like the Palm TX can??

Can the iPad download software/applications from the web that you can then upload to your Desktop or Laptop like the Palm TX can? (yes I've got one just for that reason but I'd love to have an Apple branded product)
So far the Apple Store people don't seem to know.
If not, there will be many people won't buy it, me included... And every person that does't buy one is a loss of revenue.
The lack of this key ability is why I haven't bought an iPod or iPhone…
Come on Apple answer our prayers.

YES, exactly.... I do NEED a small light weight device (smaller and cheaper than a Mac laptop) to carry around with me every day to download software to that I can download to use on my home computer.
The Palm TX was such a device that served such purpose... Somewhat over priced for for its small storage capacity and no longer available but a good product idea.
Except for the once a month NEED to download large applications (mostly version updates), I don't really have a NEED for cable broadband @ $49.99 per month ($599.88 per year) or DSL @ $39.99 per month (479.88) per year.
My email, shopping, banking and such only NEEDS dial-up @ $99.00 a year, which is what I have.
The fact people feed their WANTS instead of choosing only to feed their NEEDS is why many people are in debt often over their heads.
I haven't had any built up debt for decades. I try very hard to only take care of my NEEDS and not squander money on things I only WANT but don't really NEED.
I LOVE the Mac OS, it's one of the best OSs out there (priced good too)..... Next to Xerox's "Small Talk" (in-house R&D only) and Unix. But Apple's pricing of computers may drive me to the Dark Side or the Gray Side.. Linux .
And I'm also hoping that USB 3 will be soon on Macs so I don't have to pay the extra freight for Firewire as USB 3 will serve my NEED for faster than USB 2 speeds to the external devices I NEED to use.
One of the Prime Rules of Business is... Volume = Profit (or more profit)

ITunes U: how do I turn off the 50 MB download limit for mobile data connections?

Since I rarely have access to Wi-Fi networks I do actually want to download iTunes U content using mobile data. Videos (and even some slide decks) exceed the 50 MB limit that iTunes U will allow you to download over mobile data connections. How do I turn off the 50 MB download limit for mobile data connections?

You can't unless the phone is jailbroken (which in turn voids your warranty)

ITunes song re-download limit on the same device?

Is there a limit to the number of times you can redownload a song from iTunes on a particular device? I've got a 16GB iPhone and space is limited. I'd like to delete and redownload music when I feel like listening to it. I know in the past there was a 1 download limit to music, but it appears that has changed.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Whether you can re-download a song will depend upon what country that you are in (they can't be re-downloaded in all countries), and whether it remains available in the store - if you are in a country where you can re-download it then you re-download it as many times as you like (as long as the record company doesn't remove it).
You can copy iTunes purchased music from your phone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) so that you can take your own backup copy it

Looks like you have just said it.
If there was any chance of getting a few extra freebie 5Gb why on earth would anyone pay for unlimited.
What would all the people who have been charged for going over their limit say, if you got some extra free allowance.
At the end of the day, yes the unlimited subscription costs more, but you don't have to look over your shoulder every month thinking am i near my limit.
Go on, be a devil . Call sales and sign up for unlimited

Can iPad download whatsapp? If no why?

Trying hard to download whatsapp to my iPad but I can get thur... Can I know why can't iPad download whatsapp?

It is not compatible with the iPad, only with the iPhone - it needs full phone capability which the iPad hasn't got. Their support site states (http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/) :
We support all iPhone devices no matter how old or new, as long they are running iPhone OS 3.1 and up. Sorry, but there is no iPod or iPad support at the moment.
