Can one limit updating of shared Photostreams to when the phone is connected to computer?
My mum has a 5S with iOS 8 which is connected to a shared photo stream where I post photos and videos of our family. My mum's contract has a 1GB limit and she noticed this month that she passed that limit. I think this is because her phone updates the shared photo stream over the cellular network (she doesn't have a wifi network at home). Is there a setting in iOS 8 to limit such updating to when the phone is connected to her computer?
Many TIA
Philip
Hello pullman,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand from your post that you want to disable the cellular data connection with Photos as to avoid overages. To do this, go to Settings > Cellular, and turn photos off.

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called. If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through. Anyway to solve this problem?
Hey David Koh TP,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:

Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
Thanks,

I have updated my IPhone 4s to ios6, but for some reason it didn't install Siri with the update, is there any way I can install it onto my IPhone without jail breaking the phone?

It cannot be installed. It comes pre-installed on every iPhone 4S and later. Maybe it was disabled under Settings > General > Restrictions.

Wasn't SIRI one of the gee-wiz doodads introduced with iOS 6? Cause my boss' 4s w/iOS 5 certainly does NOT have it. And on my i5, the Spanish-speaking SIRI I got turned out female, with all the foibles and vicissitudes....
iOS 6 only added support for the 3rd generation iPad. It was always on the iPhone 4S. Then the same goes for your boss: Maybe disabled in restrictions, or maybe actually an iPhone 4. -
Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
compatible with your iOS.
Perhaps one of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -
Help. I can´t slide to answer when the phone rings, and i´m missing a lot of phone calls! It doesn´t happens all the time but quite enough to be annoying. I´v restarted and updated it. Suggestions? Thanks
When you said you have no fax machines on your line, that does include computers directly connected to the phone line?
The reason that I ask is a computer with a dial-up modem (a non broadband modem) that can connect to your phone line, can have software that makes the computer act as a fax machine.

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone? I don't really need a paper weight.
No not jailbroken. After the update which took about 45 minutes. The phone went black. Dead. Wouldn't restart. Using the new itunes I tried to restore it. It went through the motions; the white Apple and progress bar appeared on the iphone screen. Then I got a message "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." Then the phone went completly dead again. I Repeated the process and got the same results. Is there another way to restore the phone if it's dead, besides itunes?

I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?
What? Do you work for Apple?
I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it. -

I can no longer access Safari. It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it (Safari) still does not work. I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and Safari is operable. However, Safari on my iphone is not. What is the problem?
That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.
