I am unable to play videos over cellular data in multiple apps

For about a week and a half now, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube videos within their apps, will not play on my device.  They WILL play in the web browser, but not in the app itself.  
Steps I've taken to rectify.
1. Reset network settings - FAILED
2. Removed apps and reinstalled - FAILED
3. Restored phone and set up as new iphone - FAILED
4. Called AT&T and had them resert my cellular signal - FAILED
5. New SIM card - NEXT STEP
Is anyone else seeing this issue as of late? 
I am on an iPhone 5s with software version 7.1.1.
7.9 GB of storage available on the device. 

I'm having this same issue. The videos show their length and the preview. But once I hit the play button the video goes black and stops showing the length.
The videos play normally within the YouTube app but not on safari or other apps.

    Does it work with other display devices?
    You are using an app that supports TV out?

    You can't play movies in iPhoto.  But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS.  Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

  • 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.

  • Shared Photo Streams pushed to device over cellular data

    Hi,
    I created today three shared photo streams in iPhoto and all of a sudden my iPhone started getting very hot and battery being drained quickly (it's an oldish 3GS, and the battery level was decreasing even though the iPhone was connected to the charger...).
    In a nutshell: it seems that whilst data from the "ordinary" Photo Stream are uploaded/downloaded only when the device is connected to a wi-fi netwrok, if you have shared Photo Streams enabled on a iOS 6 device, picture data in these photo streams are "pushed" to the device also over cellular data, regardless of any other setting.
    Apart draining the battery very fast, this may lead to using inadvertently a lot of data traffic in your data plan.
    Did anyone notice a similar behavior and find out how to prevent it, apart disabling Shared Photo Streams alltogether, of course, i.e. did anyone find a a way to ensure shared photo streams are pushed to the device only under wi-fi?
    cheers

    I suppose you could disable Shared Photo Steam while you are at cellular network and enable it again when you are at a wi-fi environment.   In Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream> turn Shared Photo Stream to Off.
    The pop up warning tells you that this will delete all shared photos from your device.  What it doesn't say is, since shared photo stream remains stored in iCloud, all you shared and shared with you photo streams will be push back to your device once you enable Shared Photo Steam in wi-fi.  The downside of course is if you have a lot of photos in your shared photo steams, it will take some time to download them.  But at least you know for sure your cellular data is not affected.
    Btw, Shared Photo Steams doesn't count towards iCloud storage, just like Photo Steams.  Maybe That's why turning off iCloud document doesn't affect shared photo steams.

  • Unable to turn cellular data on for apps

    I'm running a 32GB iPhone 5C on 7.1.2 on Verizon.
    before the last update I had gone over on my data allotment and then went into the cellular data settings and turned off the cellular data for almost every app I could. Some of these included the music app, podcast app, angry birds, google drive and documents, and just any app that I don't need sucking off my cellular data allotment.
    well the 7.1.2 software update changed the settings (I don't know why Apple changes these things when there's no reason to, it's getting frustrating having to learn how to use my phone after each update) and you can no longer go into cellular data and flip the switch for all the apps on one single page. So now I have apps like the Podcasts and Google Apps that I open, am alerted the cellular data is turned off for them but when I click settings (the other option is just a confirmation of the message receipt) it takes me to a section in the settings that is no longer listing all my apps with the cellular data switch.
    so my problem is that I've turned off cellular data, updated
    software that for no reason neutered my ability to turn it on/off for individual apps, with no way to turn the cellular data back on for those apps. I can't imagine why Apple would do this, unless app developers were complaining to Apple that people were
    turning cellular data off to avoid advertisements.
    I have reset network settings, scoured the settings menu for options, tried most things suggested for other problems and still nothing. And I'm not going to reset my phone because as soon as I load my backup I'll be in the same boat. Oh I've also tried uninstalling and redownloading the apps as well.
    and on a side note whoever put the . Button next to the space bar during certain keypad operations is an a hole because most of the searches I do look like this:
    "What is the distance.to.the.moon"

    so now I've done everything from resetting settings, resetting network settings, turning wifi off, turning phone in and off, messing with cellular data and background app refresh as well as notifications.
    trying to use an app that has no cellular data while wifi is
    off does not force the app to show up under Settings > Cellular Data.
    it appears as though a lot of people are having this problem and sometimes the above mentioned things work and sometimes they don't. It looks like having Cellular Data turned off for
    certain apps during an iO
    God **** it now I have to write things in the Notes app and copy/paste them here because it's randomly not inputting my text and when I start typing it says "GGo" instead of Go, double typing the first letter. Why the **** doesn't Apple have a mobile app/setup of this?
    Anyway it looks like if you have Cellular Data turned off for an app and do an iOS update it causes this bug. Sometimes the things above work, sometimes not. This is insanely frustrating.

    Problem? I'm not even sure what your problem is, much less whether it's a problem with the phone or the carrier.

  • Streaming Video using cellular data

    I downloaded the app for Daily Burn on my apple Iphone 5 but when I try and stream the video it says my settings are configured to only stream videos on Wi-Fi. Then asked do I want to change the settings. I press yes and nothing happens. I checked all settings and all set to use cellular data (both for app and videos. Any ideas?

    Well it appears that my issue was the phone number porting, during the porting i was able to use the phone for outgoing messages,call, etc but not for incoming, once the porting was completed the rest of the phone starting working, so it might be coincidental or maybe that was the issue.
    thanks for the input, apple and verizon were no help and clueless with this issue.

  • FaceTime doesn't work over cellular data

    I am not able to connect FaceTime over cellular data. It ask for wifi only...

    I think this is why in your case. I made some of the type bold for emphasis.

  • 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!

  • IPhone 4, iOS7, cellular data control by app doesn't include all apps

    Settings | Cellular | Use Cellular Data for: [app list]
    The ability to control which apps cannot use cellular data is really helpful, but on my iPhone 4, certain apps aren't appearing in the list, for example, YouTube and Instagram.  I need to figure out how to turn off the cellular data for the apps missing from the list.
    I did compare this to another iPhone 4, and an iPhone5 - the other 4 had the issue, but on the 5, all the apps were listed.

    i'm guessing you used more than one iTunes store account to purchase content.
    if that's the case, try authorizing your Mac to play/use the content purchased from the other iTS account(s).
    that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. when done, sign back into your usual account. you'll have to do that one time only.
