Can you turn the data off?

Im planning on buying an iPhone. I dont want to get a data plan. Is there a way to make the iPhone only transfer data via wi-fi and not any of my cell phones networks?

In Canada, Fido will let existing customers buy an iPhone without a data plan if you choose to pay for data as you use it (a pay as you go data option) as long as your existing voice plan is at least $20 a month. While the friendly Fido guy said this is acceptable, he did caution that the iPhone constantly uses data (EDGE/3G/WiFi...whatever is available) to do all sorts of things in the background including synchronizing the clock and using numerous apps. So basically he said while it's possible to get an iPhone without a data plan he would strongly not advise it as data usage costs would be ridiculously expensive.
To my knowledge you can't shutoff cell phone data usage from the iPhone (besides turning off 3G or intl roaming) but would instead have to call Fido or Rogers and put a data block on your account. I'm not sure whether they would allow that on an iPhone plan though, but it never hurts to ask.

Can you turn the converter off?

Is there a way to turn off the converter so it will stop turning my nef files into dgn files? I have a Nikon D610 and Lightroom 5.4
Thank you!

Not sure I fully understand the problem, but my guess is that you have somehow set the import dialog to convert your NEFs to DNG during import. If this is the case then simply switch it to 'Copy'.

How can you turn the screen off without access to the power button and without using auto-lock?

We are using iPads that are locked down with Guided Access and secured within hard plastic mounts screwed down onto a countertop. We can press the home button with a paperclip, but that's it. We don't want to use auto-lock because there might be several hours where the terminals aren't used, but we don't want them to go to sleep during business hours, otherwise we'll have to grab a paper clip and turn them back on. Also, if we set the auto-lock to several hours, then the iPads wouldn't be off for very long at night. I want to turn them off when we close at night, but it's challenging to open the cases and lift the iPads out, so that's not a reasonable option.
Any thoughts?

Look for a new case.
There is varying opinions where it is best to power down electronics overnight or leave them on all the time to lengthen the life of a device.
I power down to save electricity at night.

How to turn the data off

I just got my first Blackberry Z10. I am experinecing extreme high data usage although Wi-Fi is available. How can I turn the data off to control my usage? can't find it...

IN your Settings (swipe down from the top bezel on the homescreen) > Network Connections> Mobile Network > your carrier > you can turn off data services and still retain WiFi data transmission.
However, as stated above, if WiFi is connected, it will always be the preferred data pipe even if the mobile network data is ON.

On my iPhone 4, I cannot get the "not enough storage on iCloud" message to close. Therefore, I can't get past this box/screen AND I can't turn the device off. Please help.

Try resetting it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing. You won't lose any data by doing this.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

Can not turn the passcode off on my iPhone4

Can not turn the passcode off? Please help to solve this problem, thanks!

If it's a personal iPhone rather than a corporate one. Go to settings, then general, then passcode. You will need to know your passcode and enter it, you will then be presented with the option to turn it off.

I tried to update my ipad3..now I have the dreaded red bleeping screen of death... it is literaly bleeping on and off. I can't turn the ipad off and I can't do anything else either. Any thoughts?

I plugged it into my laptop and it still doesn't do anything but blip red.
I knew I should have waited to up date it until I got back. everytime i try to update one of my ipads, something goes wrong.....
I really need my ipad back as I am going on a trip tomorrow morning and need my gps map on there.

I held down the sleep and home key to shut down the ipad.... it's restarting...hopefully this will work!

While downloading the latest IOS update to my iPhone 4, my phone went into a frozen state with the update 2/3's complete. It's remained like this for the past 12 hours. I can't turn the phone off, and I can't connect it to iTunes. Anyone know what to do?

If the place of purchase does not have a 'Lemon' policy (three replacements = refund or complete exchange), sadly you are out of luck.
And Apple themselves do not have any power over what policy a reseller uses. You can call Apple Care and have them replace it, but the odds are you would probably get a standard replacement again like has previously happened. I'm pretty sure Apple holds their own sort of 'Lemon' polocy where if it's been replaced three times through them they'll swap it out for a brand new phone. Not 100% sure though, best bet is too call them again.
And it ***** getting a response like that from their support personel, but hey, they can't all be that bad can they? I'm sure if you plead your case they'll try and help out. I've dealt with them in the past and had one or two people that rubbed me the wrong way, but most of them have been a great help and kept me a happy customer, haha.

Can you turn your broadband off ?

Can you turn your broadband off at night or say when you going out, when you turn it back do you receive the same speed,I'm sure I've had this conversation before and I think you can turn it off .Do any of you turn yours off and does it affect your speed I'm pretty sure it's fine to do just want to be sure.

turning the hub of once a day should cause no problem but multiple restarts in day will cause you connection and speed problems i would not recommend turning it on and off they are designed to run 24/7

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s?

How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s? I don't use the cloud, but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage to back my phone up.

iCloud is probably being used to store your Contacts so perhaps you really just want to turn off iCloud backups. Use the Settings app.
Settings > iCloud > Turn off Backup
After you turn off iCloud backup be sure to initiate some other backup strategy. Backing up to iTunes is a good alternative.

You can check the file prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and remove the line(s) related to that extension (procon.password).

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)
