Does Siri take up minutes on your data plan?

Also does it you use wifi instead of Internet does it use data on your plan? I am dying to know! Please and thank you.

If you are connected via cellular, yes.

Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix movies are adaptive and vary their quality according to your connection and can be as low as 0.5 Mbps.
But remember lower datarates = lower quality.

This isn't a question but rather a warning to anyone using the new OS for iphone 4. The imessage uses up your data plan like crazy. I called Apple about it and they said no it's not doing it. I called AT

The new OS is burning through my data plan like crazy and here's why. Imessage uses your data plan and not your texting plan. So every time you send a text message to someone with an iphone it uses imessage and it uses your data, not your text plan. I couldn't figure out why I was burning through so much of my data plan so quickly. I called Apple and they said, no it's not the data plan doing it. I called AT&T and they said, yes, the imessage uses data instead of your texting plan if you are texting to another iphone. Also, the new OS runs your apps all the time, even when you aren't using them. So if you are not near wifi your apps are running and burning your data plan. The AT&T guy took me through the steps to turn off the apps. You can still use them but they won't be running constantly. Seriously Apple, you should let people know this. It does say it in the fine print on the website "data rates may apply" under imessage but most people will never read this. So my data plan started on October 10th and it's already at 175 megabytes and I only have a 200 megabyte plan. I've never used more than 50 to 75 megabytes in a month. Apple get it together and be honest with people and tell them. Quit denying the problem. Most people have probably not even discovered this yet. Wait till you get your bill.

It's not really common knowledge because I've talked to several people today and none of them knew about it. Also, when I called Apple they said no the new OS is not using data. Totally wrong answer. You'd think they'd know about it and at least tell people. The people who are going to be hit by this are people like me with the 200mb plans. I just think it's best to spread the word so people can know what's happening. I still don't know how I went through so much data in such a short period of time. It's not happening anymore though, not since I fixed everything up last night.
If you are using a free wifi connection, there are no data charges with iMessage. But in an area where you did NOT have a wifi connection, of course it used 3G and of course you got charged for it (or had it count against your plan limits).
I'll ask again - without a wifi connection, just what did you think was happening? How did you think your iPhone was able to magically send a message WITHOUT using any data connection? A little bit of rational thought would have made you realize that there was no way, over a 3G connection (which is a service provided by your cellular service provider, NOT Apple), that you can send or receive ANYTHING without your service provider's plan picking it up.
Nothing abut iMessage has ever hinted that it can, in any way, bypass your service provider when NOT using a wifi connection.

How long does it take to back up your iphone? it was moving along great then someone texted me and i dont know if it is still backing up...

how long does it take to back up your iphone...it was moving along great and then someone texted me and it doesnt seem to be moving....the little circle by my Tammys Iphone is turning....

Why are your Data Plans SO SCREWED UP? You are Unfairly making the average data user Subsidize the Big Data Users. This kind of thing is why I left AT

Why are your Data Plans SO SCREWED UP? You are Unfairly making the average data user Subsidize the Big Data Users. This kind of thing is why I left AT&T and came to Verizon a Decade ago. Their plans sound better now, maybe I should go back.

I currently have 5 phones/lines. 2 Droid MAXX phones, a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and 2 basic phones (4+ year old Motorola & Samsung). The cost for each line rose considerably and usage fees more than doubled on the 2 basic phones when I upgraded the 3 smartphones at the beginning of this year and Had to Convert from my old Unlimited Family Plan to the Newer Share Everything Plan. My Data Usage varies a lot due to occasional travel which I have little control over. At least you recently began including a $10 deduction on each of the 2 older phones (which I have not updated in order to save money though they need updating). My Sweet Spot on Data would be around 6GB Monthly Data. But that level is not offered. Only 2, 3, 4, 10, or 15 GB plans are offered.
Verizon's Data Plans Offered Are: 2GB-$50/MO = $25/GB * 3GB-$60/MO = $20/GB * 4GB-$70/MO = $17.50/GB * 10GB-$80/MO = $8/GB * 15GB-$100/MO = $6.66/GB * And Overages are Charged at $15 per 1k-1GB.
Offers JUMP From 4GB TO 10GB (There's a 6GB GAP/JUMP - ***) - Why is there NO 6 or 8 GB offering? Because Verizon is Overcharging the Lower Data Users! Seems like All of the Other Cellular companies are Offering Better Deals.
If you can offer something better please let me know, otherwise I may have to consider going back to AT&T or moving to one of the other cellular companies.

How long does it really take to get my unlimited data plan back?

So Wednesday morning I go into a local Verizon owned-and-operated store to buy a Galaxy S5 on installment plan, like I did for my GS4 a year ago. Get talked into an Edge phone plan and the More plan, and they get that unlimited data plan off my line as fast as possible and then find that I can't get Edge for another 3 weeks. So we revert the changes (in theory), less than half an hour after the original change.
So I'm just standing there reading twitter and waiting for them to fix the situation and get me back to where I was when I walked in. I was actually willing to go ahead and buy a GS5 on installment plan (as I'd wanted to when I came in), but they *really* did not want me to do that. They got the voice plan back, and put me on a 2GB plan (which is 1/3 of my average usage), telling me I'd be back on my unlimited plan with hotspot service "by the end of the business week."
Today as I'm checking at the end of the business week, no sign of my data plan or hotspot service. The folks on the social media team tell me that my service might be crippled for another 10 days while an offline team tries to fix what the folks in the store broke.
Am I really out of luck for two weeks? I got a GS5 on T-Mobile with 5GB of data, which will get me by... TMO didn't seem offended that I wanted a GS5. But if I have to "be careful" with my data (as the store manager put it) on Verizon for two weeks, I may as well forward the phone and power it off.
At least I know never to set foot in this particular Verizon store again... last year they wouldn't sell me a GS4 "in case someone came in and wanted to upgrade" so I went to another nearby location. If my plans get unbroken, I'll either go to that other location or check eBay for my GS5.

Think of this and be amazed. If Verizon is trying its best to get customers off unlimited data by any means possible, and quite frankly tell you once you purchase any device on subsidy or the Edge program you lose unlimited. Now the Worry Free Guarantee states within 14 days if you change your mind you can pay a $35 restocking fee, and go back to your old plan.
However they no longer offer unlimited data so they give you this line of it has to be set back manually (inactive price request) and then it gets denied. Then they say it has to be submitted again for approval and then it gets denied. So why have a worry free guarantee?
And think to yourself, a plan they can remove in minutes takes them weeks to give back? They don't give it back. Search the forum.
Good Luck

Also, you have stated that to create global index on src and dst. How do i create them.

HT204053 How long does it take for iCloud to upload data for syncing?

I started iCloud over 6 hours ago and yet the progress bar still show 5GB out of 5GB being available. Should I be turning this thing on somwhere or does it automatically upload the info to the cloud so I can access it. If so, how long does that take? Is 6+ hours a normal wait? I really just want to update my bookmarks so I don't need much space but they don't show as being available.
Humph!

Any bookmarks that are synced by iCloud do not use up any of your 5 GB free storage space. What other type of data are you expecting to see there.

Why does it take so long for your iTunes request to be added

I am a huge fan of the Apple Store, And I was looking through (ps) this is the Australian store, anyway, I was looking for Sonic X, and noticed they didnt have it , So I requested, its been a week since they have not even added it, I really loved that show and would like to have it digitally Downloaded instead of having dvds all over the place Anyway, how long and why does it take forever for a tv series request be finally added to the iTunes store?

A bit young?
They have a request page so people can tell the iTunes Store about media they would like to have but is not currently available. Apple can judge the number of requests for this material and try to enter a contract with the copyright holder to make the product available. It is not an order form, like on Amazon or a fast food restaurant where you put in your order and they find it and have it ready for you. They can't call Sega and ask for one copy of it to make it available to you. They have to enter into a contract giving them rights to offer it for download and have a payment schedule. Not something you are going to be able to do straight away.
And if Sega doesn't want to sell it on the Apple Store in Australia you won't be able to get it from there.

When does apple take the money from your checking-account when you buy songs on itunes?

So i I bought songs on itunes, and I was wondering when does the money come out of your checking-account after purchasing songs? It took out money directly the first time when i purchased a song, but not it seems like it's taking longer then usual. Does anyone know how long it takes for apple to take the money you spent out of your checking-account?

Unfortunately, you are not addressing apple here - these are user to user technical forums and the volunteers here are not shady.
As for your issue: did Apple have to replace the screen or components behind it? If so, it is quite possible that the entire top was replaced as some of them are a complete unit. If that is not the case, you should address this with the Apple people you dealt with for the repair.

If you use imessage while on WiFi does it still use your data plan or does it only use the data plan if you're on 3G?

I just got the new iPhone4s (my first time off of a flip phone!) with the imessaging but I'm not sure if that is going to use up my data plan if I use it instead of texts. If I'm at home on my wifi will that still take away from my data plan if I use imessage? I know that FaceTime works off of wifi as opposed to the data plan but wasn't sure if it was the same for imessage. I'm on the Verizon data plan if that matters.
Thanks!

This weekend, the AT&T tower near our home failed. We had no AT&T cell service whatsoever. During this time, our home WiFi was always running at 100%. No iMessage would go through, nor could any iMessage be received. Both my and my wife's iPhone 4S were connected to the home WiFi and were used with it. Two things did not work: cell service and iMessage.
I think that iMessage seems to rely on the phone data plan, or at least the cell service must be in range to use it.

HT1222 Does this update delete any of your data if you already have apps and songs on your electronic?

I have an iPod with some apps and songs and pics an I was wondering of you update your iPod or iPhone if it deletes your data.

Standard Operating Procedure(SOP) for ANY computer...and the iPhone is a mini computer...you backup EVERYTHING before any OS update. You make sure all of your data is backed up & accessible BEFORE you attempt to update your phone. You do that, & you have nothing to worry about.

Be careful if you change your Data Plan mid month to save money.

I have been contacted two times now by phone by Verizon representatives that were overwhelmingly concerned about the amount of money I was spending on my monthly cell phone bill. Their solution, both times, was for me to switch to a different data plan for the month if I see that I am going to run over my allowance. For the past few months, I had switched my account to the 6 GB plan because I knew that there was a potential for me to run over because of some work that I was doing. On the 14th of February I looked at my usage and we had only used 2 GB of data for the month and only had 6 days left in my cycle so I decided to switch back to the 4 GB plan to save money. Remember, this methodology was recommended by Verizon themselves to save money.
Lets do some math. I have used ~2 GB of data on a 6 GB plan. I switched back to the 4 GB plan with only 6 days left in my cycle. Anyone with any math skills at all would see that I should have ~2 GB of data to use. This is not the case with Verizon. AFTER SWITCHING, I was informed that I only had 0.9 GB of data left because they had prorated my data plan. It is pertinent to mention at this point that you can only switch one time in a month. Guess what? I ran over. Now it is going to cost me more than it would have because I followed their suggestion. The worst part is, I will be paying more for the 4 GB plan (with the overrun) than I would have had I left it at the 6 GB plan and for the cycle I will only have used ~ 3 GB of data. Somehow it almost seems illegal to sell someone 4 GB of data and charge them an overage fee for using 3 GB.
I called Verizon about this and was very politely told, "So what? and is there anything else I can help you with?" If this isn't a rouse to make money, there has never been one.
If a Verizon rep reads this and would like to assist, I would be grateful, but I doubt anyone even cares. Hank Williams said it best, "I was gettin' s******, but I wasn't gettin' kissed."

It asked if I wanted to make the change retroactive to the beginning of the cycle. I told it I did. What since would it make to not do so?
Not sure. The only thing I can think of is if you changed it after the billing cycle closed on the time period where you had the overages.

Connecting My Droid 3 to WiFi -- Does It Use Any of My 2gig Data Plan?

I finally purchased my first smart phone, the Droid 3. I'm curious about connecting my phone to the internet using my WiFi network at home. If I connect my phone to my home network to download apps/videos/web pages, will it use up any of my 2gig monthly limit? I really can't afford more than $30 a month for data, so if WiFi doesn't use my my quota, it will really be fantastic. I'm really new to smart phones, so I don't know too much about them. Thanks for the advice, in advance!

I would also suggest reading up on what eats up data. 2 gigs is a pretty good amount of data for the average user. However, streaming music or video when you're not on wifi can burn through it real quick. Also, monitor your data use closely for a while until you get familiar with how much you are using so there aren't any surprises when you get your bill. There's a number you can call to check on data use or you can check it on your "my Verizon" account.

Why does it take one minute to delete a photo?

Most times, but not all, it takes about a minute to delete a photo. I get the colorful spinning ball, freezing up Aperture for that amount of time, before it's free again. This also happens doing other odd tasks, such as cropping, making adjustments, etc.
This is beyond just "needing more RAM" or "cleaning out the hard drive". I have 4GB on a brand new 15" MBP, and I have at least 20% of my drive free, so I'm set up for if not optimal performance, then at least passable.
Something is going terribly wrong here. The thing is, this happend on my old MBP (3 years old) and now again on this one (brand new). I'm wondering if something might be wrong with my Aperture LIBRARY.
Thoughts?

If you think there might be a problem with your library the safest course of action for you to take is to one make sure you have a good working backup of your library and then to run the library first aid procedures show at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
As far as your system setup goes, 4gb is the bare minimum that will give reasonable performance, moving up to 8gb will most likely improve performance. You can check this out by running Activity Monitor and monitoring the swap/page outs stats.
Is the deletes that hang deleting both the master and version or only the version? Where is the library and masters stored, internal HD, external, referenced managed, etc.
Try to narrow down the circumstances that cause this to happen.
