How to turn off mobile service and leave wifi on - iPhone 5

I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

As the article you attached says, "Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off syncing."
In other words, once you click on the device in iTunes on your computer (with the iPhone attached), you then click "Photos" near the top and uncheck the "sync photos" box.
Then you sync your device by clicking something in the lower right (it probably says "Apply", but it might say "Sync").

How to turn off Apple TV and use my direct tv

We have direct tv and Apple TV. I do not know how to turn off the Apple TV to watch direct tv and the movies my granddaughters are watching are in Spanish and I have no idea who to get them in English can anyone help?

Your Apple TV is connected to a different input on your TV, use your HDTV's remote to switch to the input in which direct tv is connected.
As for the movies, are these from iTunes?

Cannot turn-off Auto Correction and leave Check Spelling On

For some reason, when you turn off Auto correction- (keyboard settings) it also turns off check spelling.
Hope thesre is a fix for this.

I wish I knew the answer to that and many other questions. We are all just other iPad users like you trying to help each other sort through any problems that may arise. Frankly, I would love to be able to turn off auto correct and keep spell check on just like you. The only recourse we have right now is to offer our feedback to Apple about it and you can do that by clicking on this...

Can I turn off Cell Service and just use GPS

I want to use my iPhone 5 with only GPS activate for when I run with various apps.
I no longer have a cell account on this phone since I just bought an iPhone 6. I don't want my phone to keep searching for service and running down the battery plus the annoying notification "Phone is not Activated. Is there a way to turn off everything (including phone service, not just data) except the GPS?
Thank you...

So, in theory, when I can use WiFi, it should not be running up data usage against the 3G plan that I pick...correct?

Can I turn off voice only, and leave data on?

I'm headed overseas in a few weeks and would like the use of my iPhone without paying a lot. I figure I just need the data/internet portion of my phone since I can still make calls using Skype, and I can probably locate free WiFi somewhere.
So my question: is there a way to JUST turn off the voice feature on the iPhone so I don't get incoming calls or voice mails - while still accessing the data portion of the phone?
I can't find any buttons to do that.
Thank you in advance.
--Tracey

As provided, airplane mode will do this very thing:

How does turning off "Cell Network Search" affect "Find My iPhone"?

I have turned Cell Network Search off in an effort to reduce battery drain under iOS 7.1. Does this in any way affect Find My iPhone?
I have Location Services on for Find My iPhone. I turn Background App Refresh off when I'm at home and on when I'm out; I believe this doesn't affect Find My iPhone.
I'd be interested in Apple's official description (which I wasn't able to locate) as well as any personal experiences.
Thanks.

You can find out the answer yourself.
Log into icloud.com and use the find my iphone feature and see what it says.
BTW there is no Apple in this forum, just apple device users like you and I.

Why is there no control to turn off location services? I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.0.1. I now have no control over location services. Will it always be on and only activate if an application requires it?

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.0.1. I now have no control over location services. Will it always be on and only activate if an application requires it? I want to be sure it will not drain the battery unnecessarily.

I found this answer in ios 4, but it worked on the ios 6 on my iphone 4:

so i actually ended up walking into genius bar today. they couldn't figure out which program was causing the glitch either, but the way they solved it was by resetting all the location service permissions altogether. for those of you who want to know how to do this, navigate to "settings > general > reset > reset location warnings". also fyi, the apple service rep told me the purple location service icon next to each app simply signifies that particular app has requested your location within the past 24 hours, not necessarily that the app is active. hope this helps those with the same problem as i had. iPhone 4, iOS 4
I will mention that I did not have the problem until I downloaded the new googlemaps, which I have deleted off my iphone.

How To Turn Off Top Sites And Image Caches Permanently.

Here's what I've done:
1. Quit Safari 4.0 and right-click on it's icon in the Finder. Select "Show Package Contents".
2. Look inside the Contents folder and right-click on +Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher+ and select *Compress "Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher"*.
3. Put the original Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher in the trash and empty it.
4. Navigate to +~Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews+ and highlight it. Get Info on it.
5. At the bottom click on the padlock, type in your password and then change the Privilege column for your login name to "*Read only*". Close the Get Info window.
6. Launch Safari.
I'll see how long this works before causing any issues. For right now it seems to be working and eliminates needlessly wasted CPU cycles (which matter when I'm using pro-apps and looking up things online) and stops the madness of the Webpage Previews folder from being constantly bombarded with screenshots (oddly, in both .png and .jpeg) which can eat up a LOT of space on the boot hard drive.

~Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews
Should be
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews
Personally I've tried creating a soft link to /dev/null for the Webpage Previews folder and going to see how that goes
cd /Users/honem/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
ln -s /dev/null "Webpage Previews"
ls -l
The last ls should output with Webpage Previews -> /dev/null in it somewhere indicating the Webpage Previews folder is linked to /dev/null

When you turn off cellular data and use wifi, do you still pay monthly?

Hi

If you use wifi, you are not using your cellular data, but your monthly plan would still be charged even if you don't use it. That's why its a monthly plan rather than a prepaid contract, where you pay upfront, and when your balance runs out you stop getting service.
In that case Using Wifi would keep you from using your prepaid balance.
But again a Monthly contract is charged wether you use it or not for the specified amount of time. Usually for a Year sometimes more.

How do I turn off location services for Facebook in ios6

I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and I cannot figure out how to turn off location services on Facebook. I do not want to post my location with my Facebook posts. Help?!?!?

Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Off.

I tried to eject a cd, didn't work so I turned off the computer and now it keeps getting stuck at the gray screen. How do I fix it?

Here are a few more details. I put in a game cd for a windows computer, once I opened the folder on the desktop I noticed the install application was .exe so I tried to eject the cd but no matter what I tried on the computer it wouldn't come out. I will say though that I didn't try the manual cd eject cause I didn't have anything small to hit the button in the cd drive with. It was getting late so we decided to just turn off the computer and leave it for the next day. I can't remember if we turned the computer off with apple shut down or by holding down the power button but we walked away pretty quickly before it was fully shut down. The next day the computer won't turn on. When I walked into the room I was the computer stuck with a grey background with the apple logo showing and the circular thing under it frozen. Since no one was in the room I held down the power button and turned the computer off. We tried to start the computer again later but again it keeps getting stuck at the same spot. Now when we hold the power button down to turn it off I'm not sure if it's really turning off all the way. The screen goes dark but it sounds like the fan is still going. I tried disconnecting everything but the keyboard and mouse but when I started it up again it got stuck on the grey screen with just the apple logo. I'd really apprechiate help on this cause I live in Germany right now and support call centers work so much worse when you don't speak the language well... Thanks for any help you can give!

Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services. If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services? If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.

I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.
