Can I use GPS while the data and cellular networks are turned off?
Here's the deal: I am traveling on the Alaska Highway from Alaska, through Canada, to the lower 48 states. AT&T has advised me that while I am in Canada I will be charged 79 cents a minute for airtime and 2 cents per kilobyte for data. Ouch. Given this, I intend to turn my iPhone on "airplane mode" while in Canada, so I don't accidently fetch mail, or do some other thing which would load data at the cost of 2 cents per KB.
BUT! I would like to be able to take pictures with my iPhone 3G and have them tagged with location by the GPS. Everything I have read indicates that GPS is turned off when the phone is in Airplane Mode.
So, my question is: can I still retain access to GPS for my photos while turning off all other radios in my phone? With the new Places feature in iPhoto, I'd really hate to have 2,000 miles worth of photos and no location data to go with them, ya know?
Tamara, thank you. Of course I already did that, and no, they are not geotagged. Which is why I specifically phrased my question, "can I still retain access to GPS for my photos while turning off all other radios in my phone?"
In other words, is there SOME WAY--ANY WAY--to turn GPS back on, like you can with Wi-Fi? Or maybe there is some way, any way, to turn off all the cellular functions only, while leaving the GPS receiver on?
I am aware of the "Data Roaming" setting in the Network settings. I have always had that turned off, but I cannot experiment with that setting, as I am not in an area where roaming would occur.
I'm just hoping to avoid a surprise huge bill due to GPS grabbing some data or relying somehow on the cellular network, and am hoping to know if anyone has any experience with these issues. At 2 cents per KB, an average email would cost $1 to download. I have no idea what kind of data flies back and forth when GPS is used, or if the ONLY data received by GPS is from the navsat system. I seem to recall that iPhone GPS also relied somewhat on cellular data, though for photo geotagging it probably shouldn't have to.
I apologize if I was not clear in my questions.
Thanks so much for your help!

I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute to dial before.
I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. 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. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again. -
I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -

How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes
How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?
Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
I doubt the designer actually uses the app.

I took a bunch of photos over the weekend before my phone got crushed. My iCloud hasn't backed up anything since before the weekend. My phone still turns on and charges, but the screen is completely smashed out so I can't enter my passcode to upload anything to itunes. My wifi connection is turned off as well. Is there any way that I can get the photos backed up to the iCloud before I restore everything onto my new phone?
There must be something amiss here. Your Camera Roll would only have everything up to the last backup, but Photo Stream should be current. From the iCloud Troubleshooting Support article:
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll are included in your iCloud backup and will download to your iOS device during the restore process.
Photos in your Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they are not part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos uploaded to My Photo Stream for 30 days. To keep the photos in your photo streams on your device and make them part of your backups, save these photos to your Camera Roll or another album.
To view My Photo Stream or a shared photo stream, make sure the photo stream features are turned on in Settings > Photos & Camera.
To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
Your device needs to be connected to Wifi to get the entire Photo Stream pushed back to it, and it can take some time. But there is no reason why those later photos should not be in your Photo Stream, if you were signed onto the same iCloud account when you were taking those photos, and if you had Photo Stream turned on....
Not sure what might be going on....

Frozen ipod after the update and it won't turn off
After the 2.0.1 update itunes wouldn't recognize my ipod touch. I ran the diagnostics and no iphone or ipod touch was found. My computer knows it's there but itunes doesn't detect it. The ipod is frozen on the screen with cracked apple and the load circle right below. It's been like this for about 6 hours. I at least just want to turn off the ipod. I've tried all kinds of methods to remedy this but nothing works. I'm afraid the ipod might get damaged being like that for so long. I would appreciate it if someone can help. This is so frustating.
This happened to me last night. My screen was frozen with the "cracked" Apple logo. I thought it was toast. I decide to give it one more try. This time I held the top On/Off button until it rebooted. I had it for several seconds (I don't know how many seconds, but it seems like almost 30). I may have held the "Home" button at the same time.
When the IT rebooted, everything was fine. -
Starting to get the following on laptops that are turned off
Doesn't seem to show when they are on. Just when turned off. Any cause for it?
Hi Logwyn,
Thank you for the reply!
Boot the system into ‘Safe mode’ option and check if the issue persists in that also?
Have you checked with connecting external monitor? If the issue occurs in external monitor then it could be issue with System board. If the external monitor is not showing any error then the issue could be with LCD or LCD cable, also check with reseating The LCD cable. Use HMM to guide you on reseating the LCD cable.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

My whole Mac has crashed a number of times both yesterday and today. This is very unusual. I'm not positive it's because of Firefox's new update, but it seemed like a good guess, and it was usually when I was on various websites (I was going through a lot of emails from news lists and clicking on links). I use Thunderbird for email, and Firefox is my browser of preference. It crashed three times so far today, over several hours, and yesterday I guess it probably crashed about 6 times -- not sure.

I don't know about iMassage () but you can use iMessage on multiple devices. I have mine set up on my iPhone, iPad and MBA. I can switch between them and all of the conversations are synced. You just have to be logged in with the same Apple ID.

When restarting my macbook pro, all the options on the top right corner of the screen disappear ( battery life, Wifi, languages etc..) when i try to show them in system preferences once i click on network preferences the whole system preferences goes Not responding and i have to force quit it. the only way i found to bring them back is restarting my computer a number of times till they just come back alone. not sure what the problem is??? now i never shut down my computer cause i am worried i'll lose them again and for months i just put to sleep when i am done since nothing happens to them when its on sleep once i shut it down and turn it on again the same thing happens.
appreciate any answers...You sure you're in the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder? If yes, then that's your issue. That plist controls the right-hand menu bar.
log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists. Then, check its Preference folder for that plist file. -

As the device is cut off from any sort of means of data transfer I cannot backup any of my Photos (ive just had my first child so there are loads on there). Im receiving a replacement phone from Vodafone UK on Monday but they have told me there is no way to back them up from one device to the other. Ive also contacted the Apple 'premium' retailer in my hometown who also said there was nothing they could do.
Advice would be much appreciated. ThanksAnyone?
