Does the auto-download feature only work over wifi?

I want to turn this setting on in the podcast app but I don't want to risk that it will download a large video podcast over my 3G data connection. Can anyone confirm it only downloads over wifi?

I can confirm also that despite having Cellular Data turned off the podcast app continues to download episodes over 3G. I had a nasty surprise today when I looked at my cellular usage!
The podcast app is without doubt the worst Apple iPhone app I've used to date. No means of controlling autodownloads, no ability to hide episodes you don't want & desparately slow. I am an avid Podcast listener and was very excited when I saw that app was available but have been so disappointed I've deleted it and returned to iTunes / Music app combo to control my Podcast subscriptions. I hope this is not a taste iOS 6! Come on Apple you can do so much better...

Does the "auto-download" feature run in the background?

I would like new episodes to download automatically in the middle of the night or early morning, without opening the app or refreshing anything. So then, on way to work, the new episodes are already downloaded first time I open up the iPad on train. I've heard about 3rd party apps that do allow for this. True? Thanks for the help!

But did you test it so that it downloaded it automatically or did you force the download by clicking the button in the application?
The 3G and Wifi switch so far as I'm aware only effects auto downloads, etc.

HT201359 I purchased a audio book to listen to on my commute to work. It only works over wifi, that does me no good in the car and the book is hours long for audio. That will eat up my data. How can I get a refund?

How are you trying to listen to it ? You shouldn't need to be online to listen to it, I don't for any of mine. If you've downloaded it directly on your iPad (or synced it from your computer) then it should be in the Music app (you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button in the Music app when you have audiobooks on it) - is that where you are trying to listen to it ?

How does the Photo Download Backups folder work?

I am wondering how the Photo Download Backups folder works--does it keep backups for just a certain amount of time? I just recently found this in my Downloads folder when I was cleaning out unncessary files for extra hard drive space. Mine has nearly 60GB so it would be great to clear it out if possible. (I already backup to an external drive.) Thanks for any insight.

You are talking about two different things:
Are you downloading the pdf to your computer or trying to view it in your browser? These are two different things. If you are trying to view it in your browser, which browser under which OS? How are you trying to view it. If you are trying to download a pdf, again please list the steps.
As to conversion to pdf, you use the Save AS Other menu.

My imessage has not been working. the internet and imessage only work on wifi. how do i fix this

MY IMESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN I AM CONNECTED TO WIFI. THE INTERNET DOESNT WORK EITHER. I TRIED EVERYTHING AND NO ONE ON THE VERIZON PHONE NUMBER WILL ANSWER.

First make sure cellular data is toggled on.
Secondly make sure airplane mode is set to off.
Thirdly, make sure to toggle to "on" the send text/SMS/MMS if you cannot use imessage.
I don't know what model iPhone you have, if a 5,5c, or 5s make sure the Sim card is functioning properly. (Remove with device turned off, the carefully place back in device) then turn on the iPhone.
Hopefully problem solved.

May have other solutions.
Good Luck

Does the bluetooth headphone feature not work at this time?

I have tried 2 different bluetooth headphones. They work with iPhone and iPod, but not the PowerBook.
My PowerBook recognizes and pairs with the headphones, but won't connect. Am I missing a step?

Hello -
I had a set of bluetooth headphones - a while back. And I was able to make them work. Though, they aren't as great as you might think. My audio quality was "okay" at best. And you can also only have one bluetooth device hooked up at a time (I prefer to have a mouse!)
You may need to go into the System Prefs and set where the audio output is going to. I do not remember if I had to this but it seems a logical step as I sometimes need to this on my PowerBook when I hookup to new speakers.

Why does the highlighting/underlining feature only select parts of words?

Is there a reason why in certain PDF's I can only select parts of words? Before in the same document I was able to select, underline, highlight, etc., with no problem. Has there been an update or change to the software that causes this to happen? Can it be fixed?

I'm using Surface Pro 2 Tablet running Windows 8.1

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

According to Apple Facetime will only work over WiFi. IOS 6 will bring feature that you can make Facetime call over 3g-4g

How do i turn off the auto lock feature? In my options it does not have "never" on it. It is only timed amounts.

How do I turn off the auto lock feature. I have only timed options. There is not the "never" option available.

I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear

Does Home Sharing only work over wi-fi?

This may seem like an odd question, but I think it may be the root of my problem. I have a network that uses three Devolo mains network extenders in various rooms (the house has very thick walls). All three Devolo mains plugs connect (via the ring main) to the router. An iMac, laptops, an Apple TV, iPhones, etc each connect wirelessly to these very happily.
However, no two computers (say an MBA and an iMac) in the same room, or different rooms, can 'see' the other in the normal way - i.e. by having the other device appear in the left hand pane of the finder window. They can, however, if I enter the IP address of the other machine manually. So this is irritating but not insurmountable.
What does appear insurountable though is that, in a similar way, iTunes cannot 'see' any shared libraries across the network. Because of the issue described above, I had assumed that both problems were probably being caused by some sort of issue with the way the Devolo boxes are configured. But then I realised that, even though each device is connecting wirelessly to the Devolo boxes, I don't actually have a wi-fi network in the same sense that I would if I had an Airport-based system...and if Home Sharing only works over wi-fi, this might explain why it doesn't work for me.
Apologies for the rambling question, but given the increasing popularity of these mains network-extender boxes, I feel I can't be alone in experiencing these issues. Can anyone shed any light?

The quick answer to your question is no, for example Home Sharing works over Ethernet as well. Strictly speaking Wi-Fi is not required and iTunes doesn't care either way.
However, I understand that the Devolo mains adapters have problems coping with this. If I had to guess, the problem might be an inability to carry the required bandwidth. The reason for this is that Airtunes is fairly demanding of bandwidth and if your wireless network's performance is degraded due to any number of variables, Airtunes is the first to suffer.
You didn't say what kind of computer or OS you are using but Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP ports 123 and 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries. Those ports need to be configured in whatever firewall or security settings you may be using. If you are certain you have those ports open on your shared computers then concentrate on the Devolo adapters. Perhaps they are in need of a firmware update or modification of some configuration setting.

There are lower cost or free alternatives to MS Office.
IWork is very good and converts Word files easily. If you only need Numbers or Pages, you can purchase them seperately. There is also Neo-Office and OpenOffice.

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.

No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.
