Data Usage - How much data is what???

I recently looked at my college freshman's data usage on our bill and was stunned to see the almost Incessant data usage at least 5 or 6 times every hour, even throughout the night. How can I tell if its her Droid collecting data when she isn't using it or her actually on FB, Twitter, etc. all day and night?

Lauren, some advice on this and for anyone with an Android.
Go to Google Play (the app store on the phone) and download Onavo Count. This will track the apps using the Data.
Give it a day or two and then look to see which apps are using Data.
Go into Onavo and into the list of apps and for those that are NOT e-mail or Facebook or other social media apps, change the setting to only use Data if Wi-Fi is available.
This will cut out ALL of the Bloatware trying to access data to see if there is an update to the app
It will also cause any other app on the phone to use Wi - Fi Data and only when Wi - Fi is present can it do its thing.
The data usage on my sons phone went from 2.4 GB per month to under 500 GB per month and most of it was the Bloatware programs calling home to see if it could update the bloatware.the rest was legit.

How much RAM, and what CPU do I need for Adobe InDesign ?

hi guys....
each series of Adobe products, I notice that the products get heavy and more heavy than the previous one, so let's talk about the CS2 of Adobe products ( where I first dealt with Photoshop and InDesign) they were good as for the system requirements and the boot time, then the CS3 came out, and I then noticed that the prorammes, and especially InDesign, I noticed that it takes more time to load when I launch the programme, while it's running smoothly when using it , and 1 or 2 years later , the CS4 came out which was really noticeable that its heavier than its predecessor set, and now I am using InDesign CS5 ME on a trial basis, and I really can't describe how heavy it's, it's really tough on my PC to deal with, the loading takes more than what InDesign used to take in its previous versions, but now it's not only the loading time that's longer , but it's also heavy in real-time usage, so I mean that noticed a big difference between it and its previous versions, that when I place a material for example, I really notice a sluggish movement even when drawing some frames for example, or adjusting some photos, though my PC is not that old, and here are the specifications of it:
motherboard : P5KP-C/1600
CPU: 3GHz, 6 MB, 1333 FSB, Core2 Duo (E8400) overclocked to 3.2 GHz.
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 @ 800 FSB (2x2).
GPU: Nvidia 8500GT 1GB DDR2.
HDD: 500GB @ 7200 RPM, 16 MB buffer.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
so as you see... it's still powerful, but I would to ask whether InDesign needs more RAM ? of it will even avail the extra amount of RAM that I may though in my PC ?? or all the matter that the programme is coded for SSDs ? and don't tell me that I need a quad-core CPU .
though I have just bought a (boxed ) Core i7 860, but I still need some time to finish the upgrade process, and this is due to the finance crisis I undergo by now.
so do you think InDesign can make use of more than 4 GB of RAM ?
thank you guys.

WaaaaaW you are amazing...
I tried to set it to "never" but this yielded with no difference, then I tried to set it to "delayed" and it yielded with resolving the issue, but there is still a slowdown till the article get spread accordingly with its frame, so I do confess that moving frames and drawing/pulling their sides are now flawless, but spreading the article to its frame requires about a second to respond, that it doesn't interact to the mouse immediatly.
so I really thank appreciate it for you, and thanks for the helpful answer .
but I am curious to know what was that option you mentioned all about which changed the scenario ???
- by the way... feel free to explain in English, since I do like English, and even my computer is set to English as the starting language, including all my programmes, and application, you may laugh if I tell you that I feel like being lost if I work on a computer which is Arabic language, though its may native language, but I just got used to English since it's the language that I learnt computer with.
all the best.

How do you know what the data usage was for and why? It shows you date and usage but not the reason.

How can you see what data usage was for on the bill? It only shows the date and usage but not the reason for the usage.

You can not see this info on VZW's site. There are apps for smartphones that will break down the info though, but by site or what was downloaded

How much data does an IP camera use?

Hello all,
So I have a fancy old muscle car that I have put a ton of work and would like to hook up an ip camera. I want it so that when the car is parked, I can monitor and record what is going on with it. I was planning on getting an ip camera with a portable hotspot device such as the mifi. I was wondering if anyone knew how much data one would use because I would like to attach it to my account which has 4gb of data. would that be enough to run one if I am not constantly streaming the video to somewhere?
Thanks,
Logan

Hi wenfam!
That's a great question! Data usage can differ depending on how the device is used. Here's a helpful link on how to monitor the usage: http://is.gd/52jiNm ^CB

How can I see how much data passes through my Time Capsule?

I am thinking of using a cellular data plan at home. My current, rural internet provider is slow and unreliable. I use a MiFi as a backup and have 4G service which is much faster and rarely goes down. I need to see how much data is downloaded and uploaded to compare costs. All our data passes through my Time Capsule.

A similar app to what Bob mentions is peakhour.. it works on any of the newer OS.
https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/peakhour/id468946727?mt=12
It is a good app. BUT.. fat ugly BUTT.. just the same as Bob has explained, it depends on SNMP to work.. and so due to apple removing a very useful and functional protocol from its airport range you can no longer use it. Bizarre.
I strongly recommend a Netgear WNDR3800 (older model now but you can pick up one cheaply on ebay) and a 3rd party firmware called gargoyle. Apple delete my posts if I point you to it, so you will have to search yourself.
Replace your tall TC with the Netgear as the main router.. bridge the TC to it and you can continue to use its wireless and for TM backups. The advantage is that gargoyle will not only measure everyones usage, by IP, it is able to set a quota on everyone using the net and you can set that quota for hourly, daily or weekly or monthly. It will track the usage and you can see at a glance what everyone has used.
It is simple to load.. just like a standard firmware update. The interface is as clear as anyone can make it with such of lot of tools. And the actual router is powerful enough to provide excellent QoS and parental controls on top of measurements and quota.

How much data does Apple TV use?

I am experiencing a large amount of data usage and cannot determine what the culprit is. I am approaching my cap of data allowance on a regular basis. Does anyone know how much data the Apple TV uses? I realize it depends on what you are streaming. I primarily stream Netflix (set on the lowest data rate)
Thanks

I found this answer on NetFlix's blog sometime last year:
In the USA you have 3 video quality options: good quality, better quality, and best quality. Here is how much bandwidth they each use:
Good quality (up to 0.3 GB per hour)
Better quality (up to 0.7 GB per hour)
Best quality (up to 1 GB per hour, or up to 2.3 GB per hour for HD)
Depending on how many movies you watch this could have a huge impact on your monthly usage...obviously your ISP wants you to watch its own movies.

How much data did you use on day #1?

Just to get some perspective on how much people are using....
How much have you used so far?
What have you been doing to use data? Downloading apps, surfing the 'net, YouTube, hotspot, facetime, etc...
I've used approximately 1.2mb: 360kb sent, 917kb received. I pre-loaded my apps in iTunes, so this was mostly web surfing & using apps. This was since about noon yesterday.

I do use Pandora a ton on my iPad with wifi so I see what you mean when using it on 3G... I guess you have a point... Certain Apps will drain data... Just maybe the everyday internet browser consumer would be ok though
a lot of people would be ok. the problem that the carriers run in to are the average user that doesn't even know how to check the data usage. they have their email, facebook, weather, etc, etc constantly syncing and then download a movie or something....and before they know it they are at 3 gigs and storm into the store, irate, when they see their overage fees....lol

How much data is used when using facetime over 4g

How much data is used when using facetime over 4g. Say a 10 min call over facetime, will it use few MB or more.
Thanks,
Manish

It depends on how long you are on line. What you could do is reset your data usage in settings/general/ usage and then start your FaceTime session and check usage after your session

HT204023 how much data is used by this method

I am in a remote community in Saskatchewan that has cell service. How much data does using a personal hotspot use on my iphone 4

Probably a lot, depending on what you're doing.
You can monitor it (roughly) by looking at Settings > General > Usage > Cellular Usage
You can probably monitor it more precisely at your cellular carrier's website.

So really how much is my Option 1 data limit of 10...

Greetings Gurus,
Here is my conundrum. I try to monitor my usage and use the broadband monitor on the ' my BT page' pasting the figures into a spreasheet. So far so good, all I need to clarify is just how much is my daily allowance?
Say for the month of November withits 30 days, Is the daily allowance 1/30th of exactly 10 Gigabytes (or 10,000 Megabytes) or is it 1/30 of what some in the data community regard as 10 Gigabytes which is 10,737.42 megabytes.
It makes quite a difference and you never know it might save me £5 if i creep over my monthly limit. Over to the experts - all opinions welcome or even a definitive answer from BT.
TTFN

Cannot fault the maths here my Amigos, thanks for the rapid response and so good to see that standards of numeracy are being maintained
I got the same answer on my Sinclair Scientific
Gonna keep an eye on the utilisation and amend my spreadsheet to be exactly 10Gigabytes/10000 Megabytes instead of my more optimistic figure.
Any other views welcome on when is a Gigabyte not a Gigabyte

Does anyone know how to view the amount of songs you have and how much data it takes up in the new iTunes?

i have downloaded the new itunes on to my computer, but cant find where it says how many songs you have and how much data they will take up on my phone. thanks

Just a comment that the playlist size only shows in List View (not Grid or Artist view).

If I understand correctly what you're referring to, View menu -> Show Status Bar.
For some peculiar reason this option does not show up for me (11.0.1). I do see the "status bar" (i.e. size) of playlists at the bottom of each, and I know that I've seen this setting, but this View option seems to have vanished!

Is there a place I can see how much data I uploaded other server like the old version of Sync did?

In the old version of Firefox Sync you can see what data was uploaded, with the next Sync I see nothing and when I got my account on the website Firefox, I don't see nothing just a sign in and change password screen. Would there be more there soon?

Hi Kurbo,
Please do leave feedback for the developers at input.mozilla.org, currently there is not a feature that shows how much data or what data is uploaded.
However if you are handy at picking up apis there are some apis that can be read about [https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2014/05/08/firefox-accounts-sync-1-5-and-self-hosting/ here]

Why do I have to guess how much data I might use in a month when I select a plan?

When I sign up for water service, I don't guess that I might use 1,000 gallons a month, and then pay three times the going rate for water if I take a few extra showers. I get charged for how much water I use that month.
When I sign up for electricity service, I don't guess that I might use some set number of kilowatt hours, and then pay three times the going rate if we have a heat wave and I run my air conditioner for a few extra hours.
Why do I have to guess how much data I might use, and then spend three times the going rate if I stay up watching youtube videos for a few extra nights?
It is stressful to have to constantly monitor usage, and figure out ratios of how much I've used compared to how much time is left in the billing cycle to see if I need to curb my usage. It is not a good customer experience. I would prefer that data be charged a flat rate based on actual usage, perhaps with an option to throttle speeds at certain levels to prevent cases where a minor lapse in judgment could ruin my monthly budget, like forgetting to check data usage religiously on a device meant to simplify my life.
Thank you for your consideration.

Simple answer is Verizon is offering a block of data for usage.
Where I live the water bill states my wife and I are being charged for 30,000 gallons per quarter/half and the price is say $60 however we never use any where near that amount. I send the meter reading in and it shows the amount we use. But the hamlet we are in has a set amount of gallons. Not fair but we live with it.
For your data outside of the unlimited which is not available any more to new customers you may be a light user and never go over the 2GB for $30 dollars a month. If you do you will pay through the nose for data. If you pay for more data say 4GB and I don't have the price for it so lets say its $70 then you don't have to watch as much for overage fees. But you are paying for the data in advance so as not go over and get hit with whopping fees.
It is just the way it is.

Every day, just after midnight, my 3GS transmits about a gig of data. How do I determine what is doing it and where its sending it?

Every day my 3GS cellularly transmits about 1 gig of data, eating up my monthly limit. How do I determine what's doing it so I can stop it?

I'm told that sometimes you can figure out what apps are sending data via Settings -> General -> About -> Automatically Send, and then the following day, look at the Diagnostic & Usage Data.
The data is rather cryptic, so even if it is in there, it may not be easy to figure out.

How much monthly data (high/medium/low) should I have when buying apple tv?

Looking for how much data I will need so I can make sure it's available without getting hitting the max before the months end, and how quickly it's being used.

If you intend to watch sports or premium content like HBO then you would next to have a cable subscription, most are not standalone services. You will not find any device that allows you to cut the cord in this scenario.
I assume you currently have cable and internet, so if your intention was to remove cable that itself would decease the bill. Not sure who the provider is but I currently have a 150GB allotment for a fee nowhere near what a cable subscription would cost.
OF course you you could lower the resolution, SD on netflix for example only used 700mb and the most basic would go as low as 300
