Documents and sync burning cellular data

Hi guys
Got my 5S yesterday, and it burned through 500meg of cellular data, of which 334meg went to "documents and sync" under "system services" but i do not allow the damned *** thing to sync over cellular cause ill get screwed by my carrier... Also there is no documents for the thing to sync anywhere.... And it does not give me any deeper detail about what is syncing or where it is syncing to... PLEEEAASEEE HEEELP ME!!! The thing is going to bankrupt me!!
Thanks

I worked out the issue affecting me. I noticed like many other people it seems that turning off my iMac stopped data being downloaded on my phone over cellular. Since it was Documents and Sync I assumed it must be an iCloud glitch, so turned off iCloud on my iMac, this also had the affect of stopping the excessive data usage on my iPhone.
To be safe I did a permissions repair at this point and a restart.
I then re signed in to iCloud on my iMac and 3 days later the issues still hasn't re-occured. My guess is that my iMac was "uploading" something to iCloud, and failing, but my iPhone was perhaps seeing new sync data and constantly truing to download these "new" file.
Hope this helps for anybody who has similar issues.

  • ESET NOD 32 cannot scan past this point. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following; C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\ Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending. Is this a problem with NOD32 or with Firefox? Thank you.

    I ran into a glitch on my system that I tried to fix myself. My NOD32 was always showing the yellow warning circle as my protection status when I started my computer. I tried to fix this every way I new how.
    Then I started to get pop ups asking me to fix and then send system error reports to Windows. Some stating they were '''''critical.''''' So I sent NOD32 the e-mail below.

    Based on the information you provided, we recommend that you upgrade to latest version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and see if this makes a difference.

    I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

    Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested.  Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on.  It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).

  • I just updated to ios 6.1 and now my cellular data is not working

    I just updated to ios 6.1 and now my cellular data is not working

    UPDATE: Ok, I just got back from the Apple store and I've performed a full restore. The good news is that the restore did allow cellular data to work again, restoring as new and restoring an iCloud backup both worked fine. I also tried everything Apple suggests on the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780 an only restoring had any effect. Even though that worked for me, I went Ahead and went to the Apple store because this problem had already occurred with me, but only intermittently (requiring frequent resets); the 6.1 update seemed to just make it more 'permanent' so to speak. after the tech tested it with a known-good SIM compared to a new iphone 5, he observed the same stalled cellular data, so my iPhone was swapped out. Hope this helps.

  • MAC-IPHONE SYNC ISSUES / CELLULAR DATA ISSUES

    I'll try to be as succinct as possible, please help, so frustrated!
    I listen to about 50 podcasts per week because I am a DJ on the side. However, I can't stop my mac from syncing with my iPhone. My MacBook Air doesn't have a tonne of space, so its really an issue when 5-10 gigs are podcasts. So:
    #1: how do I stop my mac from syncing with my iPhone for podcasts. I've turned off all automatic syncs, unchecked every box, unclicked "sync over wifi" etc. Still though, it feels to sync every time. Every time I remove the podcasts from my Mac, it instantly syncs to phone, and deletes everything. I've also disabled iCloud service except for "Find My iPhone". Really frustrating resubscribing to 50 podcasts for the xth number of times.
    #2: to top it all off, I thought I'd download about 5 or 6 podcasts this morning before work so I could have enough just for the day to listen to tracks while doing my day job. All of the podcasts downloaded fully and are showing blue-balled in the menu waiting to be listened to. However, at work, and none of them will play without cellular data turned on. They are already downloaded to my phone but now my iPhone wants to stream them anyway? I'm already at 700 MB of a 2 GB monthly plan and its like 6 days into my new cycle.
    Overall, I'm just ******. I don't know why Apple is getting the whole podcast thing so wrong. The communication between devices is not simple to fine-tune, and it seems they want their ecosystem on at all times. I could never switch from Apple because their products are in and of themselves very high quality. But this B.S. always connect, always force sync thing is getting a little old. MAKE IT MORE INTUITIVE. That's why I fell in love with you, don't drop the ball now.
    Also, are there any alternative podcast apps, alternatives in general? I don't want a PC because I'm quite comfortable with the Apple suite for music production and I have a PC for work anyway.
    If anybody could help turn this frown upside down that would be greatly appreciated. I will pay you in good karma.
    Ciao ciao and thanks!

    Updates!
    #1: just realized today at work that my podcasts stopped updating on my iPhone. Clicking on unsubscribe on my Mac halted downloads on my iPhone as well. The journey continues. Lol screw you, Apple such a great company, but refuses to make the process of unlinking its devices impossible I'll have to look through the settings again when I have a bit more time. I'm sure there's away to unsync the two devices. It's syncing even when not connected by USB, and my "sync over wi-fi" is turned off. My guess is that its syncing through my Apple ID. Yay for B.S. lol. Updates as they come.
    #2: resolved. Ensure that you don't have any podcasts lagging in your download dock. This will cause the app to want to stay connected to the internet in order to play anything back. My observation at least. Solution for me was to just stop download and try again later when connected to wi-fi.

  • Upgrade iOS6 to Iphone4 and cant activate cellular data network

    I have recently upgrade latest os to my iphone 4 & followings are problems im having now with my phone:
    1. Map is not working
    2. Cellular data network not working
    3. Wifi is weak & cant get signal strength like previous os
    Appreciate if anyone can suggest what else needs to be check to sort it out or is there any way to move back to previous OS without any data loss?
    Regards,
    Jishu

    First, I hope you did the standard reset of your iPhone. If that doesn't help, then you'll have to contact AT&T. This situation sometimes happens with AT&T. Get to tech support and they can determine if whatever routing that goes on with a cellular network is working for you. BTW, call from a land line, because you'll have to shut off your iPhone and restart. I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to use iMessage only over WiFi, and not use cellular data?

    When I go to Settings -> Cellular, there is no toggle for messages. Is there some way I could selectively disable cellular data usage for messages? That is, I want messages to be sent with SMS instead of data even if cellular data is available, but not if WiFi is available. If WiFi is available, then I would want the message to use the WiFi.
    My situation is that I will be traveling internationally and will have a plan that allows unlimited texting but limited data. I don't want to have to toggle iMessage on and off every time I connect to WiFi to prevent data use with messages!
    Thanks for any help!

    The only option you have is to turn off cellular data completely. You are correct, there is no setting for cellular data for messages. If you toggle iMessage off/on multiple times, you will end up with problems, since others will not know if you have iMessage off/on, and will continue to try to send iMessages to you. Also, you may find you will have problems with iMessage activating again after turning it off. iMessages do not use very much data, but if you are using data for other reasons, that could use up the limited pool of data you mentioned

  • Will erasing and syncing erase game data?

    I have had an Ipod touch for some time now, and as I was syncing it up, as I do once in a while, it asks me to erase and sync to this library. I have recently synced the Ipod to my laptops ITunes, and it works fine. But i'm just wondering, will erasing and syncing my Ipod erase my game data? I frequently play on Plants vs Zombies (I'm only 13 C: ) and I don't want to lose all my save data.
    Cheers

    A complete erase and re-install is a very Windows thing to do. I have never had to do so in six years.
    Instead consider an Archive and Install, which preserves all your own files and settings:

  • TS1398 How do I stay connected to wifi and still maintain cellular data as well on ios6?

    I upgraded to ios6 but have been unable to connect to wifi without turning off cellular data and vice-versa.  What do I do?

        sammip90,
    So sorry to hear about the trouble with receiving calls and messages! Are you able to send messages? Can you make calls? Just to be clear, is voice roaming on? If it was off please turn it on, power the phone off and back on and retest. If roaming is enabled and you are still having trouble with calls and texts please reach out to our Global Support Team. Here are instructions for reaching them while outside of the U.S.: http://vz.to/1ki5lQF .

  • 220MB of Time and Location in Cellular Data ?

    Since upgrading to an iPhone 5s from a 5 (although still using iOS7) I noticed my data plan use accelerated and couldn't account for it with changed use spending less time on WiFi etc. I turned off background downloading of app updates and a couple of the other battery saving tips I have seen posted.
    So under System Services I see by far the biggest hog is this 220MB - is this something core to the OS that I can disable or is it being "used" by another application which doesn't show such high use in its own totals. The largest next one is Google at 9MB.
    Is there anything finer granularity than just turning off Location Services ? Any suggestions to find out what keeps checking the time or location ?

    I am wondering the same thing. This single category has used 25% of my cellular data for the current billing cycle with my cellular provider.

  • Type document and sync to notes app

    Is there a way I can type a small document on my imac in word for example, and then sync that text into a new page on my "notes" app on my iPhone?

    I have the same problem and luckily I solved the it.  Let me start by I've never had this problem before regarding the Notes app not synching with gMail and vice-versa.  It was only recently that I had noticed that none of my Notes wasn't in-sync.  For me the problem was with gMail, my NOTES label had somehow moved inside the Mailbox label (kind of like being a subfolder).  So what did was moved that NOTES label outside of the Mailbox label (now they're at the same level "parent" Label/Directory) and everything works fine again.
    BEFORE:                                                       NOW:
    MAILBOX                                                       MAILBOX
            NOTES                                                          RECEIPTS   
           RECEIPTS                                                     WORK
           WORK                                                           PLAY 
           PLAY                                                    NOTES
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!

  • I updated to 4.0 on my 3GS and now the cellular data wont work.

    I can use Wi-fi to get mail or use internet based apps. but as soon as I'm on 3g or Edge none of the internet apps work. I can not get mail or use an app like Fandango. Anyone seen this? Help!

    Hi,
    I updated to IOS 4 early yesterday morning (22nd), I have a 3GS.
    Since then I have no internet connectivity through 3G, weather, google, email etc. It does work on wireless networks.
    Apparently the early version of IOS4 was corrupt or not complete. However I cannot see how to reinstall the upgrade through itunes. If I click update, it says I'm running the latest software.
    It could be to do with incorrect APN settings. Again these are not easy to change through he phone itself. I tried to change these manually but with no success.
    Resetting network connections does not solve the problem.
    Restore from backup and full restore did not work.
    How can I reinstall IOS 4?
    I am on Orange in the UK.
