Does Apple TV contribute to Wifi download limits?

I'm currently living in an area of the UK where wired Internet is a problem, so I'm using an EE 4G Router which unfortunately gives me just 15GB of Internet to use each month.
I have unlimited data on my iPhone 5S and was hoping to use the "mirror" capability of Apple TV to stream services (Netflix, SkyGo etc.) from my "unlimited" phone to my TV as opposed to using my Xbox (which causes me to rapidly use up my 15GB Router limit), so my question is:
Will streaming from my iPhone to Apple TV use up any of my Wifi (say, from the Apple TV streaming it off the phone) or will it be able to use my bluetooth to stream and I'll incur the internet download usage on my iPhone?
Any help would be appreciated!

If you are using Airplay will need to be on wifi (which would use up your 15GB), unless you use peer to peer airplay.
Peer to peer would require not only the 5S running IOS 8, but the latest Apple TV (rev A, model 1469, released early 2013) running firmware 7.0

HT3209 Why does apple not allow me to download an hd movie to my pc? Why doesnt apple get it that I simply want to download a hd movie to my computer so that I can repeatedly watch the hd movie via apple tv to my pc as opposed to using isp bandwidth?

See title.

This does not answer you question as to "why does apple", because for some reason Apple will treat us like children and try to do everything for you. An unrelated example would be trying to change the IP address of an Airport Extreme Base Station. You cannot. It will always grab the first IP in your subnet whether you like it or not. OK I digress. What I can say is that iTunes, in it's infinite wisdom, will look at your display and decide whether it will playback a HD movie (minimum 1280x800). If not, based upon display settings, it will refuse you the HD download. The "why" I cannot answer other than if you buy the HD movie on any other device like your iPhone 4 or iPad, you cannot share it from your library. So, maybe they get to sell more copies of the movie? That's my best guess. I've been an Apple guy since I first bought my Apple IIe. But honestly, I fume at them for being entirely non-responsive to their customers. Another example is the loss of the scroll arrows starting in OS Lion. Despite thousands and maybe millions of customer complaints, they refuse to listen. (Wow, I feel so much better...)

Does Apple TV work with wifi that requires you to enter a username and password via the web?

The wifi service is a public hot spot that is provided by my cable company (Comcast/Xfinity) for its customers. It requires you to enter your user name and password via a website prior to using it. Is there a way to make this work with Apple TV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There is no web browser on the Apple TV, you cannot directly use a wifi connection that requires a log in this way. you may wish to look at Internet sharing with a notebook.

Why does Apple charge USD1.00 for downloading a FREE app like Hay Day on App Store?

I just found out that Apple charged my credit card for USD1.00 for downloading a FREE app like Hay Day on my iPad. At first when I sign in using my Apple ID, I it prompted me my credit card information. I thought it was just for verification purpose only. Later today, I received atext message from my bank telling me that Apple has charged USD1.00 on my credit card. Apple... Please explain!

They don't. Please see the document here >>>>>>>

As you can see, it will never actually be charged.

Why does Apple.tv take hours to download a movie rented through iTunes

I have rented a movie from ITunes and have changed the video resolution in iTunes Store to 720p HD but taking over 5 hours to download. Is this normal as I am finding it very frustrating? I have a Telstra Bigpond ADSL wireless connection.

That would be dependent on your network
What is the current connection via speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)

Does Apple have a web download of Snow-Leopard compatible QuickTIme 7?

I installed Snow LEopard onto my MacBook Pro 15" on Friday at work. I left the Snow Leopard install disc there, and now at home I realize I did not install QuickTime 7 and I need this to be able to work proficiently in FCP.
I keep reading that you can download QuickTime 7 at Apple bit every time I try and install after download it says that it is not compatible with this OS.
Does Apple have a Snow Leopard compatible version of QuickTime 7 available as a download? Or am I screwed and have to wait until Tuesday to get to wotk and install from the disc? Why does it have to be so difficult?
Dan

There's also an installer on the "Utilities" or "additional components" installer on the Snow Leopard disc.

Does apple iTunes pre authorize your debit card when trying to download a free application?

Does apple iTunes pre authorize your debit card when trying to download a free application?

This has been a constant gripe of mine. No, Apple doesn't pre-authorise for free apps, but your account must be "ok" to download a free app.
I use a pre-paid debit card for all my online purchases, simply to ensure nobody gets more than they're entitled to. But the only issue I've ever had is with Apple's pre-authorisation. Generally when purchasing an app, I'll check the balance on my card first to ensure I've enough. But inevitably Apple will pre-authorise €1.98. This sometimes has the effect of setting the debit card account into the red when Apple attempts to take the amount for the app. So I'm left with an app I haven't paid for (no issue there) and 2 unpaids on the card. The problem is that when my kids come to me looking for yet another free app, I can't download because my Apple account is not in order. A real pain.
The solution though is simple. Set up another account without a card and use that to download free apps until such time as I'm ready to put money on the debit card and sort out the account.
Basically, Apple shoots itself in the foot with constant pre-authorisations.
I've been onto support several times about this, but they seem to give stock answers tha don't address the issue. Oh we'll.

My wife is very color deficient and has a hard time with the font colors in call log. Any way to change and does Apple have plans to correct?

My wife is color deficient and has a hard time with the font colors in the phone log and messaging. Is there any way to change color or background and does Apple have plans to correct this?

There are some minor settings in Accessibility that you can look at, however it really isn't much for color changing. As far as what Apple might have in mind, we are not Apple here, we are users like you. It is against the terms of service to speculate what Apple might have in mind.
