"Download over Cellular?" Notification when setting alarm!
I have a 4S with 6.1.3 and I just started getting this message a couple days ago. No clue why, I don't think I have changed anything, I am using the same song I have always used for my alarm.
Any thoughts? Apple? Hellooooooooo? I've seen two or three other similar posts. Anyone else know the fix? Not the work around?
I was playing around with my phone and found this. Go to Settings--> General--> Cellular and look at the cellular data. I turned my setting to off and it fixed the problem. Not sure what else it shuts off but as I said I don't get that message anymore when I set my clock.
I was looking online and found something else, people getting charged large for over cellular data, maybe face time being used on wifi - that fix was going to Settings--> iTunes&App stores--> Use Cellular Data and setting that to off. My setting was set off but as I said others have had big problems.
Hope that fixes your problem

I bought my first Iphone - the Iphone S about a month ago. I was able to listen to music no problem. I recently figured out how to get my photos off of my phone and on to my PC, but was prompted to sign up for ICloud to do it. Now when I try to listen to music on my phone, it asks me to download it from Icloud and asks "download over cellular"? "Additional fees may apply when downloading phones over cellular". I've already bought all my music, why would there be more fees and shouldn't ICloud have mentioned this? Seems I need to take a class just to figure all this out.
The clouds you see next to your music on the device and iCloud are two different things. When your music is not on your device it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Not the same thing as iCloud which is used to sync information between devices and house backups of your device contents. So that little cloud you see next to your songs is telling you that the music is not on your device. That's why it is giving you the message - because when you click on it, it is attempting to download it to your device.
What may have happened is when you imported your photos to the PC, you may have sync'd your device via iTunes, and you did not have the Sync Music option checked in your device Profile screen.
Hook up your device to your PC and open iTunes. Make sure the sidebar is showing (Control+S if you cannot see the sidebar with Devices listed), and click on your device to open the Device Profile screens to the right. Click on the Music tab, and make sure that the Sync All Music or Sync Selected Music box is checked. If you have Sync Selected Music checked, then below that, make sure you check all music that you want on your device. Then click on SYNC at the bottom (or APPLY).
Once you have successfully sync'd your music to your device, you will no longer see the cloud next to the songs, and you also will no longer get a message since you will have the songs physically on your device and not in iTunes in the Cloud.

Hello,
Each time I set the alarm and choose a ringtone, which was downloaded from iTunes store on my iPhone I get this message "download Over Cellular?" as shown in the following image.
What can I do to prevent this message from popping up on my secreen.It looks like you have purchased the ringtone from the iTunes Store, but it never actually downloaded onto your phone. Go back to the iTunes Store into the list of your recent purchases and try re-downloading the song. This happens to me sometimes when I start downloading an app on cellular but it has an error finishing...

IOS 7 continues iTunes in the Cloud downloads over cellular data, ignoring settings.
I have run into an *expensive* little bug in iOS 7.0.1.
Kids, don't try this at home:
While on wifi, turn on show all music or iTunes Match. Make sure "use cellular data" is OFF.
Go to music and start downloading something (like a playlist with about 3000 songs...)
Now turn off wifi or move out of range. Your songs will continue downloading over cellular data!
Kiss your data limit and your battery life goodbye.
There is NO WAY to stop the download queue, short of turning on airplane mode, and it will continue as soon as you turn it back off. You can go into iTunes downloads and manually pause each song, but only after they have started to download. Restarting the phone or signing out of your iTunes account does not work. You can also deselect songs that are pending in music, but again, you have to do this for every song.
I'll be calling AT&T tomorrow to try and get these overages removed, and Apple to let them know about this... I mean, really? How hard can it be to stop downloading when the wifi goes away? iTunes Radio stops immediately when you drop off wifi...I just realized you can go into Settings->cellular and turn off cellular data for Music... that might work, but I don't know if it will stop downloads that are already running. I wonder if this is related to the multipath TCP implementation: once a connection is initiated, the app doesn't know when the network changes!

I purchased a movie on my brand new iPad air 64g. I'm connected to a strong wi-fi but still I get that error can't download over cellular. I have plenty of space. What is wrong? So frustrated.
IIRC, you can only download a maximum file size of 100MB with cellular.

It was mentioned that LinkedIn is free to download over iPhone but when I'm trying that it's reflecting + GET and asking for payment verification. Please suggest.
Please find the attached screenshot.If it's the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store with the account then depending upon how you created the account then you may have to enter payment details before you will be able to download anything (including free items).
'Get' means that it's a free download, though that app does offer in-app purchases. If you are being asked to confirm/enter your card details then have you tried doing so ? As it's a free-to-download app the card won't be charged, though you may receive a temporary store holding charge. -
After upgrade to 6.1, Alarm now asks to "download over cellular"???
After installing 6.1, each time I try to set an alarm in the Clock app (choosing a song in iTunes as the alarm sound), I get a warning message "Dowload Over Cellular?" and some text about how downloading songs over cellular can use a lot of data.
That's really weird!
It seems if I click "cancel" it won't use the song as the alarm. If I click "download" it will play the song.
Come on, Apple, you never made these kind of sloppy mistakes before... I'm getting worried about you...
I've been using the alarm in the clock app since they added it in iOS6 with no problem. I wonder what's going on....Yes it's a song that's on my phone, in iTunes. And it's a song I didn't purchase from iTunes. I transferred it from an old CD.
I came across one other discussion in here with several people with the same issue. So it's a bug in 6.1.
One person in this discussion said the problem went away after a day.

ITunes on iPhone - Download over cellular issues
9 times out of 10 when I am purchasing songs over cellular the song will download about 2mb then it will restart saying Preparing to Download. I have a Verizon iPhone 4s. Anyone know how to fix this? Very annoying.
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
No. The Apple website states,"FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply." -
Alarm Clock giving weird notification when using song
When using my alarm clock with the new song feature, I am getting a notification that says "Download over cellular? Additional fees may apply when downloading songs over cellular." Options are Cancel or Download. The songs I have chosen are already on my iPhone so there should be 0 reason to have to download anything. Please advise.
Thank you,
AndrewGoto Settings--> General--> Cellular--> Is your cellular Data on? I turned mine off and it fixed the problem. You may also want to check Settings--> iTunes&App stores--> Use cellular Data and set to off so you don't eat up data on wifi. Some people have had big charges when left on.

Itunes match no longer downloads on cellular
i have iPad air running iOS 8.1.2 and iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.2
they both have t-mobile sim cards
i've noticed that whenever wifi is turned off, the download arrow disappears now on itunes match. and reappears when you connect to wifi
i was planning on testing t-mobile download speeds / usage, and found out that i can no longer download my music over cellular
is this a new feature???
settings
use cellular data for
everything is checked YES except for "roku" and "98.5 Kfox"
itunes and app store
itunes match ON
use Cellular Data ON
settings music
itunes match ON
i think downloading from itunes match over cellular was either removed in 8.1.2, or my sim card s blocking itf iTunes match is turned off then music only shows purchased music , and that can be downloaded over cellular
if ttunes match is turned on, then no music can be downloaded over cellular -

I uploaded my old songs on my computer then I tried to sync them in my iphone's music library and I can't listen to the previously purchased songs... They either appear red with the cloud icon or greyed out... And I get the following message when I tap on them: additional fees may apply when downloading songs over cellular
Anyone can help?Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Can't download podcast episodes over cellular data
I am running the current ios software and have the current Apple Podcast app installed. Since updating to 7.0.4 and installing the current app version, I now am having issues with downloading podcast episodes using cellular data specifically. You try and download an episode and it just freezes and then says "download error, tap to retry". You then get a massive popup saying "unable to download podcast" and underneath this, it says the podcast episode "could not be downloaded at this time". This happens not just with one specific podcast. I have tried everything I can think of and that Apple have suggested. I have:
- Unsubscribed then resubscribed to podcasts I have seen this issue with
- Closed out of the app and gone back in
- Ensured at all times I have been attempting this, that cellular data has been on for podcasts
- Switched cellular data off for podcasts and as a whole then I have switched back on
- Done a hard reset of the phone
- Deleted the Podcast app itself, reinstalled and then tried to download an episode over cellular data
- Reset Network Settings
- Performed a full restore of the device
After doing the restore, I set the phone up as new and then installed just the podcast app and was able to download an episode over cellular data. I then restored my data from backup and then all of a sudden, I had the same issue again. I did another reset of the network settings and then the issue went away. The issue has returned yet again today. I called Apple to advise and they say they will investigate and get back to me.
Has anyone else had this issue and have you managed to find a permanent solution? When I am on wifi, I don't have this issue at all. I attempted to download another app and a song from itunes over 3G and had no issues. As such, I can only conclude there must either be an issue with the app itself or ios7.0.4 has done some damage here. I like to download my podcasts on the train to work so don't always have the ability to download over 3G.
A very annoying issue!I am having same problem, except mine is a movie rental on 3rd gen ipad wifi. It seems like this problem has been occuring for quite a few years and apple cant be bothered to fix it. It is really annoying because none of the fixes work. My movie is 99% downloaded and i cant play it or delete or retry the download. Its gona be a few months before anyone from apple decides to post to this thread anyway. Its a real shame. In the apple store not one "genius" cud help with this either.
