Yes, you can turn off cellular data. You will not be able to use Visual Voicemail or get MMS messages, however.

I have transferred my itunes content and playlists to a new computer using home sharing. Now I want to use my new computer only, so need to 'turn off' the old one. What do i do?

Hello shiv99,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it. It doesn't need to be an active sim. Read this

Can I turn off snapping to vertical and horizontal?

i need to make a line that's not quite horizontal, but when it try to use the ruler to make it, it always snaps to horizontal. This should be a feature that can be disabled, is it possible?

Unfortunately, the snapping behavior is not something that can be turned off in the current release. We have heard this feature request once or twice before, but I can't say when having an option to turn off snapping will make it into a future release.

Can I turn off Cell Service and just use GPS

I want to use my iPhone 5 with only GPS activate for when I run with various apps.
I no longer have a cell account on this phone since I just bought an iPhone 6. I don't want my phone to keep searching for service and running down the battery plus the annoying notification "Phone is not Activated. Is there a way to turn off everything (including phone service, not just data) except the GPS?
Thank you...

So, in theory, when I can use WiFi, it should not be running up data usage against the 3G plan that I pick...correct?

The feature is located in in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy. 
Any suggestions for how to do this?

cezinho,
Click on "Send diagnostics & usage data to Apple."
That will enable you to change "Share crash data with app developers."

Can we turn off calls, text, & data but not wifi?

If we can, please advise simple and complete directions to turn off calls, texts, and data services while roaming so we will not be charged for any services while still being able to use wifi, and how to reverse that when we return to the us.
Thank you.

How can I turn off Mail's Compose and Reply animations in fullscreen?

Does anyone know how to turn off the animated opening of a "compose new mail" window when in fullscreen mode?
I'm using Mail 6.5 under Mountain Lion. When I'm in fullscreen mode and I either compose a new email, or reply to an email, the new mail window springs up from the bottom of the screen in an animated way. I would prefer it to just appear.
I was able to disable this animation when not in fullscreen mode by typing from a Terminal prompt:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool TRUE
However, I cannot find a way to disable it while I'm in fullscreen mode.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

The only gesture that is stand is the two finger tap the goes to mission control. You can turn that off in System Preferences > mouse.
Also check the second column in System Preferences > Mission control > Show Desktop:
Set to "-" as a secondary click here could cause the issue.

How can I turn off messge "Show Preview" and "Repeat Alert" on iPhone 3G?

How do I turn off the messge "Show Preview" and "Repeat Alert" on iPhone 3G? I switched them both to Off, turned phone off/on, but the envelope icon and the message alert still pop up as soon as a message arrives. I need the privacy of not having the person sitting next to me seeing that I just got a message from "Bob."

Well, the iPhone will always alert you when you receive a text message. If you don't want the phone to show "Bob's name" then put "None of your business" in the name for all your contacts so that when you get a text, the person sitting next to you and staring at your screen will see "None of your business" instead of the real name of the sender. Other than teaching the people around you to be polite and not read your phone screen unless invited to do so by you, there is little else you can do.

BB 9330 - turning off mobile network data services causes BIS WiFi connection to change to not connected

re: v. 6.0.0.719 bundle 3084 platform 4.4.0.560 update
1. History.
a. Received BlackBerry Curve 9330 out of the box with bundle 2333 installed (but missing Verizon Visual Mail Message app.) Installed BB Desktop Software on laptop, connected smartphone to PC, Attempted to install bundle 3084, but initialization apparently failed, phone still showing bundle 2333 installed and no VVM app. Browser app unable to connect to network. On second try was able to complete 3084 install. Still no VVM app. Now some times the browser connects, sometimes it does not. Browser not connecting appears to be BB software bug. VVM issue appears to be one for the service provider.
b. Data service is currently Verizon BlackBerry Social Messaging Data Package which is suppose to have BlackBerry Internet Services via WiFi per Verizon FAQ doc.
2. Problem. With an active WiFi connection the Browser app is not connecting via WiFi giving a error message that WiFi service is required.
Investigation found if mobile network data service was turn off in Mobile Network Options, the BlackBerry Internet Services connection status was changed from connected to "WiFi" to "not connected". Browser appears to work ok when mobile network data service is turned on. BIS connection to WiFi comes back on. Not sure at this point if web data is going via mobile network or WiFi.
I am wondering if other BB 9330 Verizon users are seeing the same symptoms.
Bill
P.S. I could not find where to report this apparent software bug. So I hope is the right place.

If you have your Mobile Network as well as Wi-Fi turned on, your phone will default to the Wi-Fi for browsing (assuming you have a strong Wi-Fi signal). Leaving both on will allow you to browse as well as receive calls and texts.
I hope that helps you.
