FOUND SOMETHING OUT!!! SPOKE TO APPLECARE!!! 20MB Download Limit on iPad 3G

just spoke to an applecare staff. told me that the download limit is set BY APPLE!!! and can not be shut down!
***?? as apple launched iOS5 they pronounced an incredible new feature "cableless". in apple keynote they said "for customers who only want to use the ipad or the iphone as their one single device, we now offer the opportunity to start up your device without connecting to your computer!"
for example: a person only uses the ipad for its single device to go online. with no WIFI @ home... how does apple imagine that customers stay up to date with this limit? there is no possibility to update the ipad or iphone or what ever, because most of updates are over 20MB!!!!
seems like apple is kidding us!

The reason for buying the 3G version is pretty obvious to me. You have Internet access anywhere where as I have to be connected to a WiFi network to use my WiFi only iPad and have Internet access.
Surely, you can't possibly need to download files larger that 20MG every minute of every single day. You may consider this to be a major drawback with the 3G iPad, and others may as well, but hardly precludes the iPad from being a PC free device.
If you need to update or download larger files, you just have to find WFi access. That's all.

I have a iPad and a iPhone. I am logged into the same Apple ID on both devices. Every time I download something on my phone it automatically downloads on the iPad how do I turn this off?

you need to turn automatic downloads off - its under settings>itunes & app store

Is there a way to disable the 20mb download limit in iOS 5?

I currently have an Iphone 4 which I upgraded to iOS 5. I have an unlimited data plan so I am not concerned with going over any limits. I know you can now enable High Quality video over 3g and was wondering if there is a way to disable the 20mb download limit for things like apps or itunes?
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

The 20 mb limit is not technical because
using my iPhone tethering I have downloaded
much bigger files. Apple has done this to protect
users from heavy carrier charges for unintentional
usage. Apple should allow the user to
over rule this limit through a setup option.
I don't subscribe to a broadband service, I use my
3G service for both phone and laptop. Its working
fine for me except for this irritation.
I hope this change comes is in a near release
of ios.
btw the battery life has truly improve after
5.1

I just purchased a subscription for the standard version but have now found out that I can't download to Mac. Is this correct? So my only choice is to updgrate to Pro?

Not sure if you can just upgrade as you have to cross platform too. Best to ask Adobe CHAT. You might need to refund and start again.

Malicious or not? Message popped up: Mozilla security found (something like too much, forget exact word) activity on your computer so it will do a fast scan of system file. With OK button.

I was looking at youtube.com, which always tells me my browser is not supported and recommends I download Firefox, but that is what I was using, so I went to Firefox to check for updates. (I think I also had freecycle.org open.) Then this message popped up in a new page: Mozilla security found (something like "too much", forget exact word) activity on your computer so it will do a fast scan of system file. There was an OK button. The page address was: http://update17.stegner.ce.ms/index.php?Q7Lhl9ShbRxGJXpkM1VLSi4ZE8H4pTedoVPySgeppM3VpC+thEspcFG7qxHgn1pdsC2h5ygPGWI3t5hXqMzL9EQaZZ3J1e3CKXgCb0Qp. I did not click OK but copied the link and closed the window which closed the internet. I have never seen this before and would like to know if it is really Mozilla or possibly something malicious. Thank you.

Good catch. That almost certainly is an invitation to download malware.
There are a lot of infected web sites pushing "fake antivirus" software. If you have any doubts about whether your system might have become infected, you can supplement your regular security software with these two highly regarded scanners:

How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run

How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run
So you have read the marketing hype, and are thinking what you really want is to pay for the service to upgrade your low quality bitrate files to a bit better 256KBPS rate easily, as don’t fancy rebuying/ reimporting or other method
This guide should show you the fastest route to achieve you upgrades
It assumes you’re working from your main music library, and know something about IT, and have <25k of music files
Backup your music files
If you know how to do this, its simple right – so once done then move to step 2, if not read below so you don’t blame me for a loss
Transfer Hardware
your choice the transfer hardware, suggest offline harddrive via USB3.0 (blue USB connector/eSata/ 1494b/1GB NIC/etcetera but your call
If you use USB2.0/ 100MB NIC/1394a or other lower transfer method, accept the time hit
Don’t use Time Backup/local disk backup software unless you have RAID 5 setup or better (and if wondering what that is, you almost certainly don’t then)
Don’t use internet backup service unless you live next door to the hosting company, with stunning internet connection to envy 99.9% of the human race, remember this is the fast method folks)
Transfer Software
I am assuming you know how to do a copy n paste/ robocoby/xcopy/drag n drop or whatever method turns you on via finder/explorer/cmd window ect
Caveat #01: If not sure how to do above, then stop now as you are not IT literate ready for this
Find your music files and back them up
Now keep the computer running, preferably with nothing else running from this point for ease of use bar an active internet connection, and power saving switched off
If you know where the files are great, backup the files, but some don’t so for them as below
Caveat #02: if you don’t know how to find them your most likely on default settings, or sitting with a legacy from a past upgraded machine - below should help but you might want to stop now if you have never been curious about the location before
Within iTunes , go to [Edit/Preferences/Advanced] and note down the location shown for Itunes Media Location
In the same location of preferences, hit [Keep iTunes Media Folder organised] and let the application do its stuff. You will end up with the location in 1ciii a ready to copy location which for simplicity of topic, copy the whole folder and its subfolders. You may end up with some extra copies of music files (an iTunes safety mechanism, but it won’t show in the folder location, and we can ignore later on)
Enable Match (after paying for the service)
Run Match
Accept that the Apple iTunes process is not perfect, may crash/stop/pause and reboots will be needed, and we can move on so to speak. Key here is you cannot do an unattended script or assume no end user interaction needed L
Turn on iTunes Match, notice the new ITunes Match on the left hand sidebar, click it, then hit the Start button – if it works and you eventually get to STEP 3 perfect.
If it fails before getting to STEP 3, reboot and restart
If this still fails to get to STEP 3, then create a new iTunes database (browse forums on how to do), read your media files from the location in 1civ
Stop MATCH (the upload process only, not the service)
Once STEP 3 starts, CLICK STOP - ASAP, as all this does it upload data, and you don’t want to do this, just get your upgraded files (remember the title of this entry your reading!)
This also avoids future issues with Album art lost
Delete Matched low bitrate files
Create a NEW SMART playlist, with two criteria
Show all files with bitrate is less then 256
Show all files where iCloud status is MATCHED
In the new playlist, click it and it shows the files we want to blow away.
Click Edit / Select All then
Click ctrl in windows/apple (cmd) logo in mac, and press delete button, ensuring you do NOT tick the delete from iCloud Option. Now want a few mins for it do do its stuff.
Download Upgraded BitRate Files
In the same location as 5, reselect all, and right click, and select the option to download all, and off it goes
On the lefthand sidebar in iTunes, click Downloads, and you will then see in the middle bottom screen an option for simultaneous downloads (select it)
Your done Just let the app now do its stuff. I would ignore the message saying you can get on with other things, and use anther machine, preferably not using the same internet connection.
Optional Steps:
Click randomly from the Itunes/Matched/256KBPS listed files, and play them. Not all the files, one every 30 or so, and just the start, then last few seconds to check not dead or corrupt files.
Update your Step 1 backup with the new files, which is going to take up more space, guess at 40%.
Kill your iTunes Match account (both the recurring automatic subscription, and the account if not continuing to use the store part of iTunes)

I found something called TMCacheDelete in activity monitor. What is it?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite and have found something called TMCacheDelete in activity monitor. What is it and should I be concerned?

This is purely an educated guess ...
I suspect that is clearing out your Time Machine cache. Time Machine is your backup program that runs without your thinking about it, and backs up things that have changed since the last backup was done.
Should you be concerned? No. But by all means you should make sure you are in fact running Time Machine and keeping good backups.

FOUND SOLUTION TO EMAIL ISSUE - "message not downloaded from server"

It took me 4 days to figure it out but there is a solution to the problem "the messsage has not been downloaded from server" and "the message has no content".
I do not have to set up "push" accounts from yahoo or gmail and it works with my corporate email.
Apple can reach me at <Message was edited by: Host> to discuss this issue.

I'm not a computer technician, and if you were to give me a few days looking at the problem, i'm sure I or anyone else could provide a solution. I'm not too bothered about the message appearing 50% of the time as i'm usually within easy reach of a Laptop or PC or can find another method to get access to my email.
So i'm not pi**ed off that you have found a solution. I'm just trying to obtain information for a post that says "FOUND SOLUTION TO EMAIL ISSUE - "message not downloaded from server" in the Apple HELP FORUMS...

Why do some of my playlists gray out even though the music in the list has been downloaded to my iPad ? When they are grey I can't access them.

I have a second gen iPad using the cloud and iTunes Match. On several occasions ( I was not wifi connected ) several of my playlist greyed out not giving me access to them even though the music in these particular playlists have been downloaded to my iPad. Any ideas why this happens

No...should I? I don't have a cluttered desktop at all. Though I guess I do have some folders with a lot (thousands) of PDF's in them. Far less than I did before, though. I moved a bunch of stuff to a portable hard drive last week.

It should be in the Videos App - if it's not in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Resttrictions that is hiding it ?

Unfortuantely, you can only track the phone if you had set up iCloud and enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost or stolen. I don't believe there is anything that Apple can do to locate your phone either.

Grrrrr.....makes me miss my stupid PC set up as I could force it to do what I want!
Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
Any tips/tricks/ideas???

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.
