Can I turn off phone and text capabilities?

I'm due to have a weeks holiday soon and I'm wondering if there's a way to take along my iPhone but prevent people from calling or texting me? I'd like to have the functionality of the phone's 3G reception, camera and wifi but I just want to be left in peace.
Does anyone know if there's a way of doing this?
THANKS

Can I turn off phone and sms function?

Sometimes I want to watch movies without interruption. Can I turn off all the phone, sms, e-mail function and turn on only video? Just like iPod touch? If yes, how to?

You can go in and activate Airplane Mode which essentially turns off the radios (3G, Edge, Wifi, etc.). No phone calls will come through obviously.
This should allow you to watch movies without any interruptions. Obviously things like alarms will still function though.

Can you turn off phone calls and texts??

I am traveling to Buenos Aires from the United States for a minimester.. I called my cellular carrier and they do not have a plan to save me money in regards to phone calls and texts. I have the app What'sApp so I can use a data plan they offered me to keep in contact while I am way, however I am still afraid of racking up charges in texts and phone calls. Is there any possible way to turn off phone calls and text and strictly use the data plan they have given me?
I have the iPhone 5. Thank you.

FYI, that won't work. AirPlane disables all radio communications.
The best way to do this is to divert all calls.
Go to Settings
Phone
call forwarding and switch to O
Type in your carriers default voicemail number. Because it is the default number for voicemail is an exception in their list you won't be charged for the diversion.
remember to switch this off when you get back.
Then go to messages turn off send as SMS and MMS.
That should avoid most of the charges. Its inevitable that you'll get some but hopefully if you're careful it will be minimal.
Have you thought of using a local sim while you're there, you're iMessage will still work and your home SIM and account will be inactive so you won't get any unforseen chardges?
Good luck

My screen is locked on my 4S I PHone. I can not turn off the phone and everytime I touch the screen Siri reports the action.

Have you tried resetting your iPhone?

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

Can't turn off iCloud and F'd up my Calendar

I have an iPhone with my Work calendar Synced with my work computer (outlook Calendar). Also, I have iMac 27" i5 with my Home calendar (iCal).   This has worked fine and separetly for the last 3years. My home calenders allow me to organise my life with payments and is very important. My work calendar, well that speaks for it's self.
I install iOS5 on iPhone and Lion on the iMac which unbekownence to me have iCloud syncing on and doing stuff that has totally corupted my iMac Home Calendar.
My home calendar has my work calander mixed in with my home calendar and reminders popup every few minutes that I have already dissmissed. They won't stop popping up. The same one over and over and they go back a month or more.
Additionally, when I try to add an event it sometimes puts it in very day instead of a monthly re-ocurring event and then it won't delete the event when I try to fix it.
I've tried to turn off iCloud, and it does all the right things and appears to turn off but then when I go back in it is on again.
The Work Calendar (Windows 7 Office 2010) doesn't show any symptoms and has kept working as it should on my work computer as on the iPhone. Neither appear to be effected
I've tried all the delete files and reinsralls but iCal seems to just get more confused. It renames calendars and is totally out of control to the point of no return.
I can't find any where which shows how to delete iCal and do a fresh install of iCal and not have iCloud sync.   I have searched Google for months and months with no joy.
What I need is to stop iCloud and **** it off permently as it appears to be a problem for how I use my apps. I do not want to use iCloud for calander or anything just yet.   I need to get my original .ics backup in iCal that I have and working on it's own and with out the cloud or syncing.
Help anyone ...
P.S.   I have only one profile, Admin.
          I've tried another profile and it replicates and operated worse than the Admin account with iCal.
          Also I have time machine back to August 2011. I've tried all the Google fixes and none have worked

Hmmm!
Sorry for taking so long to get back. But the thing was none of the instruction where able to get the iCloud turned off. If anything it is for someone who moves between the Local and the iCloud than turnng off iCloud.
I want to turn off iCloud syncing in my System Preference and iCal. iCal is syncing with iCloud and I do not want that. My iPhone is syncing with iCloud and I don't want that either. I never enabled these options and had to find out where they were before I could even start trying to turning them off.
My iPads do not I’m unsure why
Is it possible to un-sync and turn off all iCloud activities on my iMac with Lion 10.7.3?
I think I made up a word (Un-Sync) to re-turn back to the original state before the first sync

Can you turn off the location text that appears on the bottom left for links in Firefox 4?

The text box that appears when you mouse over a link and it shows the location in the lower left. Can you turn that off? I find it annoying.

it would even be nice if there were options to change the status text such as length of time of popup, on/off, similar to how an information bar is customized. what makes it so annoying is that is pops up and never goes away and if you hover over it then it goes to the other side of the browser

Can't turn off phone to reseat battery

I noticed this morning that my Pre although plugged in was not charging: although the charging icon was on, battery strength was dropping and dropping. I assumed I needed a new battery (present one is a year old), but I thought that I'd try taking out the battery and replacing it. I followed the instructions to do this, but the phone just stuck at "Turning on airplane mode" even though the battery had a 40% change. This followed an inability to send text messages and other signs that the charge was too low to power functions. So I took the battery out anyway, replaced it, reset the phone, and the battery is now charging.
Questions: 1) Should I, ideally, just have waited a day or more until the battery had drained flat? Is there another way to switch everything off? 2) What is the average life of a battery? Does this experience suggest that my battery is on the way out, or was it just a faulty connection that caused the problem?
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

P.S. When I tried to turn on airplane mode the Pre was plugged into power, but of course had to be disconnected when I removed battery.

Can i turn off icloud and get my contacts back?

just upgraded the operating system, and inadvertantly selected icloud. dont want it. all my contacts are gone from my phone. Can I turn it off, and get them back?

Unfortunately, no. This only stops your contacts syncing with iCloud; it won't restore them to your phone if they're gone. Unless you backed them up somewhere, you'll have to recreate them.

Can i turn off 4g and go back to 3g?

i upgraded and shouldn't have. battery life *****. i want to go back to 3g. can i downgrade back to 3g or turn off the 4g for 3g somehow? i don't see how to? or could i uninstall ios5 for the previous version? i have a 4s.

Long Term Evolution, which is 4G and currently used by Verizon and AT&T and will later be used by Sprint and T-Mobile. While the version currently being introduced did not meet original drafts of 4G standards (which originally called for 100mbps download speeds) the standards were modified and LTE (and as an offshoot, HSPA+) qualified as 4G.
The iPhone 4s is not compatible with LTE but the new iPad has models that are LTE compatible.

How do i turn off sound and text notifications?

I find both the text and sound notifications very annoying. I do not play games or do anything other than work on this computer. When I unchecked the "show a notification" and "play a sound" boxes, the notifications and sounds do not turn off. I also prepared a 5 second sound file of silence and checked the "Play a Sound" and "use the following sound" boxes with the name of the silence in the required field. Nothing has worked. I don't like being disturbed when I work. I have done the checking and unchecking before restarting and also starting the computer up after a complete shut down.

If you unchecked the option in Thunderbird then I doubt that is where the notification is coming from. MACs are notorious for supplying an additional notification. I would check your operating system for the source of the notification.
