Does it use cellular data to sync iPhone to iTunes on computer?

My phone is broken and it won't connect to wifi. I don't have any data left for my month.

Are you just syncing content? Or are you doing an update on the phone?
Syncing content doesn't use any data; not sure if updating a phone requires it to communicate with Apple's servers afterwards so that may use data.

  • Apps missing from use cellular data list in iphone 6

    So I got the new iPhone 6...and half of my apps are missing from the "use cellular data" list...those that are missing won't load when I try to open them...they just flash and shut down.  I've tried turning off wifi...I've tried resetting the phone...nothing works.  What's the point of the phone if you can't use the freaking apps when you aren't connected to wifi??  Anyone else having this problem?? Anyone know how to fix it??

  • On iPhone 5c iOS 8.2, I go to settings, cellular, use cellular data for: Under "use cell data for are my apps but they are greyed out how can I ungrey them??

    iOS 8.2 on iPhone 5c, goto settings, cellular, use cellular data for: all my apps under "use cellular data for" are greyed out. I've restart and hard reset. Looked thru all settings. Can someone help??

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

  • None of my iPhone apps are using cellular data except safari.

    The problem I have is that none of my iPhone apps like skype, whatsapp, viber etc use cellular data !! But safari alone works using cellular data ... And I have a 3G data pack in my iPhone and I use it with safari alone ! So I know that my net pack is not slow .... Previously the apps used to work using cellular data ! But now I don't know what the problem is ... But it's not working ! I also did a general reset to see if the problem gets resolved ... But It doesn't help !! I have an iPhone 4S running on iOS7 !! Someone please help me with this issue ..

    Then, your next step is to restore the phone. Unfortunately, I would not recommend you restore from backup. I'd suggest you restore as a new device, followed by syncing your content back to the phone:

    You can "try" restoring from backup first, but if the issue is being caused by corruption in your backup, restoring from backup will merely restore the issue.

  • I have an iPhone 4s, and I reset the content and setting. It turned on, I chose English, Australia, and now, I am unable to connect/activate my iPhone through Wi-Fi, and for an unknown reason, it will not allow me to use cellular data or iTunes.

It turned on, I chose English, Australia, and now, I am unable to connect/activate my iPhone through Wi-Fi, and for an unknown reason, it will not allow me to use cellular data or iTunes. I'm not sure of what to do. It's quite frustrating, and all I need is advice, and help. I would much appreciate it. Thank-you.

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

  • HT1688 iPhone 5S, Settings Cellular Use Cellular Data For Apps - Not Updating

    I have iPhone 5S iOS 7.0.4 with AT&T Contractual Plan.
    When I change any settings in Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For to disable or enable apps to use cellular data. And, if I exit and enter again it shows the old settings.
    Also Call Time > Current Period is not updating.
    This is happening for last one week. I have also noticed heavy cellular data usage for last one week.
    I have reset the phone as a new phone this it is solved, but if I restore from my backup, then the problem is returning again. Even I have deleted some apps, but it doesnot help.
    Please help me to solve this.

    Call AT&T - it seems they are forcing their own settings on you.

    Thanks - but no luck there either. I believe they're referring to "Notification Center".

    Hi Rajesh778484,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that some of your applications are not appearing under Settings > Cellular on your iPhone so that you can restrict or allow use of cellular data. If you have some installed applications on your iPhone that are not showing here, the first troubleshooting step I would suggest would be to reset your iPhone. Please refer to the attached article for information on how to perform a reset. 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • Iphone 5 - "use cellular data for" option only shows Facetime and Passbook

    I have an iphone 5 and I am trying to manage my cellular data usage,
    When I go into Settings - Cellular and I look at the "use cellular data for" option, there are only 2 apps on the list Facetime and Passbook.
    I have seen other posts online that show a long list of apps that you can toggle Cellular data on and off.
    How can I see a longer list of apps.

    In Settings/General/Restrictions if you tap on Cellular Data Use there should be 2 options: Allow Changes or Don't Allow Changes. If you don't see these options is that where you see "Cellular data is turned off for 'Setting'?
    Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so your administrator may have added an override on this setting.

  • Can I use cellular data for updating ios 7.0.2 to 7.0.4 in iPhone 5

    No.

  • What does "use cellular data for" mean?

    In the settings, what happens if I turn on/off "use cellular data for?"

    For apps that require a data connection, if you enable that and you are not within range of a wifi node to use, the app will use cellular data which will count towards your cell plan's data usage.  If you turn that OFF, and there is no wifi available, the app will not work, but you also won't use any cellular data.
    so in the iTunes and App store settings, if you want to limit the stores to only use wifi, turn the "Use Cellular Data" option OFF (e.g. to avoid big downloads over cellular).

  • What things use up data on the iPhone 4? Also, what things take up space? Is it just like the iPod touch as far as space goes?

    I'm getting an iPhone and I want to know what I am looking for in data usage and space? Let me know?
    Thanks

    Anything that uses a network connection will use data, unless a wifi network is available to use (wifi does not count against your cellular 3G data use).  So email, web surfing, streaming video, updating content in news reader apps - anything like that.  Location based services as well, although there are GPS navigation apps that store their maps on the device, so do not need a data connection like the built in maps app (which uses data to fetch the map display data).  TomTom, Garmin and others have apps that include the maps stored on the device, and some, like MotionGPS allow you to cache maps for use later without a data connection.
    Pics, video's and music can also all be managed by only syncing what you want for the time being.  As long as you don't mind manipulating the sync settings and sync'ing more frequently, then you can still have a big music or photo library, just not all on the iPhone at one time.  Same goes for eBooks - as long as you don't want to keep a huge library on the device, just sync, read and remove when finished and put the next one on there (and eBooks take up very little space anyway - very compact format for ePub books).
    It sounds like 16Gb would be alright for you, but just remember you cannot upgrade the memory later.
    Also be aware of data settings.  If you use push email, it will use wifi if available when the phone is awake/active, but in sleep mode it will continue to work, but will use cellular data (since wifi is disabled when the phone enters sleep mode).  Manual fetch for email is a better way to control email data use.
    If you get unlimited social networking data use, that sounds nice (not an option with any plan I know of in the USA) - just be sure they explain it clearly (i.e. is it tied to a particular app. or only via web connections to sites - in other words how do you use it to ensure it falls into the unlimited bucket and not crosses over into your limited general data bucket).
    Enjoy!

  • "use cellular data for" apps keep turning back on

    ie. go in, slide bar from green to off for facetime, youtube, etc...go out of Cellular, back in, and those apps show green for "use cellular data for". 
    At first I thought it was an issue with some versions of Angry Birds, as they don't all do this.  Then realized facetime, youtube, facebook, etc.. all do this.
    Works fine on two other iphones.   Running latest ios on 4S
    The fact it doesn't do it for all apps is what I find is strange.  Thought at first it was an issue with Rovio apps, but then realized even facetime does this.
    Thanks

    I'd like to know why there is not solution to this.  I think I'll just remove all those apps that are turning their 'use cellular' data back on.  I only cared because when my kid plays angry birds, my cellular data was being used for videos.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to remove apps or get a new data plan.
