iOS: Updating your carrier settings why is this asking to do first time since my old 3gs now its asking on my 5

Sometimes your carrier may release important updates that the phone needs to work with them, maybe something is missing, its hard to tell, try these steps.
Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Let me know

HT201270 iOS: Updating your carrier settings

This thing does nothing good to my iPhone 4 with iOS 6. When iTunes prompt me for this settings update, I update it and voila, my internet connection was lost. I call the customer service of my carrier and their advise is to restart my iphone. Now it is ok. How come the Cellular Data Network button lost after this carrier settings? Please advice...frankism (Qatar-Qtel)

Ask your carrier, their the ones that control that setting.

HT201270 iOS: Updating your carrier settings_ what do carrier settings do?

Message: iOS: Updating your carrier settings_
what do carrier settings do?

Connectivity to the carriers network.
Why the hesitation to update? or better question, why do you care?
If you want the best connectivity, do the update. If you do not care if there are connectivity issues, don't do the update. But at the same time, do not complain when you have connectivity issues.

HT201270 In layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean and how does it effect me in the real world?

In Layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean, and how does it effect me in the real world?

No offense, but what carrier? what data and what service?
I get a bogus window hovering in my itunes page, telling me I have to update information, that I don't want to manage.
I am not upset or unappreciative of your feedback, quite the opposite, I can't believe anyone actually monitors peoples frustrations.
I just want to make sure I don't allow information about me that is not necessary. I just want to listen to music and have a phone and have an ipad.
Everything else about apple is way to propriatory. I don't want to do anything that isn't very simple.
Most importantly, there never seems to be any (human being) that can answer a telephone call anymore.
Contact us, means...send us an email about something you don't know anything about, and I don't even know that questions to ask.
I am not allowed to be ignorant. If I am I wait days for answers.....

HT201270 IPad 1 repeated crashes: Will an update to carrier settings reduce the number of crashes and make my ipad 1 useable again?

Since updating to iOs 5.1, my iPad 1 crashes so often it is unuseable. It normally crashes when using Chrome or Safari - but also on other programs such as MotionX GPS. I've just "restored" it using itumes - and on the way out was invited to update the carrier settings. It has an old sim card in it - which I no longer use since my iphone can run as a mobile hotspot. So the question is - will updating the carrier settings help - or does anyone know some other majic that might work?

Carrier settings updates are small files that can include updates from Apple and your carrier to carrier-related settings, such as network, calling, cellular data, messaging, personal hotspot, and voicemail settings. You may receive notifications from time to time to install new carrier-settings updates.
Does your iPad crash for all apps and use or just specific things?
If it only crashes on specific apps make sure the apps are updated if they are not already.
Also you may need to look into doing a back up and restore to factory settings.

ITunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone

When I try to download and install the new carrier settings file, I get the message "iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." (I got a similar message when I tried to download and install the OS update.)
I've been able to work around the problem by creating a different user and installing from there. But I'd like to be able to find and correct the cause of the error message instead of using a workaround. It seems like there's a file or folder somewhere that has somehow become read-only. Does anyone know where iTunes downloads the carrier settings and OS update files?

You will find them in separate folders within your user account Library/iTunes folder.
That was it. Somehow the owner of ~/Library/iTunes got changed to root.

Have you tried using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions?
Right after I posted the message I thought that the age-old placebo of repairing permissions might actually fix my problem. Because of your quick reply I found the ownership problem before repairing permissions. So here was the perfect chance for a test. Repair Permissions ran successfully but the owner of ~/Library/iTunes was still root. Repair Permissions fails the test.
I manually changed the owner to steve and was able to download and install the carrier settings.
Thanks!

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings,

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings, stating that the requested resource could not be found. Does anyone know how I can download the ipcc file and force an update.

Your iPad may already have the latest carrier settings, especially if you have updated to iOS 4.3.3.

Turn off iOS update notification on Settings?

I have an iPhone 4S and don't plan on updating to iOS 8. I noticed today the Settings app has a "1" notification badge on it. It's of course reminding me of the iOS update. Any way of turning this notification off? It's not big deal, but it'll bug me especially when I've no indention of updating. Hmm, I suppose it'll pop up on my iPad 2 also. What the hey… Thanks.

However, you can delete them but leave them on the computer. I've done that with quite a few. That way, you can get them back easily.

Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my General settings why is this ?

Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my General settings why is this ?

And yet the link you posted only tells you how to do it on the Facebook App for Android. Nothing about the Facebook page is mentioned at all, or how to do it on an iPhone.
With that said, and assuming you have the most up to date version of the Facebook App, you can now turn the auto play feature Off within the Facebook App itself. Tap on the "More" icon on the bottom right, then scroll down to Settings->Videos and Photos->Auto Play. If Smart auto-Play is on turn it off. Then you can set the check mark on "Never Play Videos Automatically" which is the same as Off.

I curently have credit on my itunes account. However when I try to purchase an app, it keeps asking me to update billing info. Why is this when I have credit ?

I curently have credit on my itunes account. However when I try to purchase an app, it keeps asking me to update billing info. Why is this when I have credit ?

To purchase from iTunes you are required to fill in an address section under the billing info. You don't have to put in a credit card, just a name and address, so that iTunes can send you receipts later.
I had to do this when I first started buying things from iTunes, you just go to Account>Billing Address> Edit

Hello! I have two questions.
(1) I want to submit a question through www.tune-up.com but the website does not accept my inquiry.
I get the following message: "Your Web browser must accept cookies in order for you to send your data. Please adjust your browser settings to enable this site to store cookies and access this site again."
I checked my cookie settings, and it looks like I have the Firefox default settings (i.e. cookies are accepted). Tried to submit my inquiry again but it does not work. Please advise how to make sure I can submit inquiries etc.
(2) I want to start using the Google search again but not sure how do change the settings. I do not want to have DuckDuck Go as my default. Would you please describe how to change back to Google? Also, is the problem I described above perhaps related to the DuckDuckGo search engine I use?
I look forward to your assistance which is greatly appreciated - Thank you!

On #1, you can check the site-specific cookie setting using the Permissions panel of the Page Info dialog. When you are on the page, you can open that dialog using either:
* right-click the page > View Page Info > Permissions
* click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > Permissions
Skim or scroll down to "Set Cookies" to make sure it is not set to Block.
If that is okay, some other random thoughts:
* Are you using the site in a private browsing window?
* Do you recall disabling DOM storage, which sites sometimes use instead of cookies to store large blobs of data (Firefox controls access to DOM storage using your cookie setting for the site)?
On #2, your default search engine should not have changed. To change it to Google, you can use the icon on the left end of the search bar (the classic small search box that appears on the toolbar). Please see: [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]].
I don't think there is any connection between #2 and #1.

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box? If so, do:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

Two days ago I changed my apple id. Itunes recognizes my new apple id when I access itunes via the computer. when I try to make a purchase or update my apps on my iphone, it asks to give the password to the old apple id. How do i change it on my iphone?

Apps and music are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If you don't want to continue to get that message, delete the apps and purchase them again with your new Apple ID.

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do?

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do? It keeps going around in circles. I have tried re-starting the computer and re-launching the program holding down the option-command keys. Neither helped.

What version of iPhoto are you using?
This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
If there are photos in the library do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

The most recent update erased all of my bookmarks. I tried the steps to find them and they are gone. This is not the first time this has happened and it extremely disuptive.

the most recent update resulted in a loss of ALL of my bookmarks. This is not the first time this has happened and it is very disruptive. I tried the steps suggested to find the bookmarks but that failed.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
