I just changed phones and plans and was told the I would NOT see this data usage note again. Please explain so a 75 year old man can understand. Thanks tom C
I just changed phones and data plans and was told that I would NOT a data usage alert again. I just got one. What's up with that?
Do you have Wifi at home? Do you do a lot of social media, internet surfing, video etc? Go to settings/data usage/ and scroll up to see what is consuming your data. You can restrict any of these apps from data usage by selecting one, then scrolling up and checking "restrict background data" for each app you wish to limit. Ones restricted will still function on wifi if available. Data can be restored to any app by unchecking a checked box. That's a start.
I keep my S5's data turned off unless I have a particula need when not near wifi. This month I'm near mid way through my billing period and have consumed around 29MB. Not as much fun for sure but much easier on the wallet. Caution, public wifi is likely not a secure connection.
You also can set alert and limit levels for data use by your phone on the Data Usage screen of your phone.

one of my phones is out of contract. I was told the bill would go down if we chose not to upgrade. How do I do this.

I was directed to this ridiculous article that was zero help. My problem is a ghost apple id from an account dead and gone.Ever since I created a new apple id I have been haunted by the ghost of accounts past.It creeps out of the closet and shows up in all sorts of apps asking for a password that I do not, nor did I ever know. Then I updated and synced my ipod touch with my pc-thats when it really hit the fan! I cant update apps or buy songs without giving them this password IDK. I am logged in w/ MY apple ID but when I go to purchase or update- this ghost id slams up to thwart my plans. what the flapjacks is going on? I understand I purchased these apps w/ this old id but the psswrd of that id was changed (it was my sons) after I created my own to use.He initially set up the ipod for me as a gift.Now he is out of the country and I have no idea what the old id's new password is.and why should I? when I have an id that was working fine?
This makes sense to me. I think the issue is your misunderstanding. If you purchased an item, your Apple ID becomes tied to that permanently. So when you try to update that app, you need the password to the ID that 'OWNS' that application.
Also, I suspect you have a different ID signed into the device, which is why you can't buy with your own. That article listed shows how to change the signed in account.

Previously my account was set up so my daughter and I got texts when the bill was due. I recently made some changes in our plan and now this is gone. How do I get this back?
Sorry, without knowing the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone, then there is no way to re-activate it, as you've found out.
Apple can't/won't help you. Your choice is to get this info, or you simply won't be able to re-activate this phone.
If you ex won't give it to you, then consult a lawyer. -
i just changed my iphone 4s and received another one as i was still under my one year warranty, and now when i play music via headphones there is a volume limit on it, i have tried to turn it off but it wont turn off someone please help>>>
Hi kingminjing,
Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.
Cheers,

I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.
To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials. When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud. Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

I recently brought in a broken iPhone 4S and was told the damage was too great and therefore that is was BER and Apple would not cover the phone. I have never dealt with this issue before and was curious as to where in the terms and conditons Apple reserves the right to not cover if the think that the phone is beyond economical repair. When I asked clerk I was told that everybody knew that BER applied and "you would not expect an insurance cover to pay for a car if it was totalled." I told the gentleman in that case the BER only applies as to whether I received money for car or insurance company repaired the vehicle. When I asked to see the terms that set this out nobody in the store (or the chat support agent later). Does anybody know where this term or terms is set forth. Also, has nobody ever questioned if it is fair to sell consumers coverage for accidental damage and not tell them that only small damage is covered and not major damage? I am a little suprised unless I am missing something really obvious. I have never had this issue with Asurion or with Best Buy coverage. Thanks
You mention Apple Care, not Apple Care + which are two completely different things. Apple Care is nothing more than an additional year of standard warranty coverage. Apple Care + is what addressed accidental damage. Warranty has never covered accidental damage. What kind of damage did you do? An out of warranty replacement can be done for $199 for the iPhone 4S, and that just means you brought the phone in at least somewhat intact.
Never heard the term, but what I wrote above is what warranty is. -
I just changed my Apple ID and I verified it but when I try to login it says my Apple ID is not verified. Now I can't access my iTunes account at all. How can I fix this?
You need to click the link in the e-mail you received to verify.
Then you need to link the valid credit card info to your Apple ID if you want to download anything from Apple Store (iTunes, Apps and iBooks).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing your ISP may cause some issues but not so far as I am aware a problem with it connecting to your TV.
Have you changed anything else, what troubleshooting steps have you taken so far. -
I set my passcode in Arabic then I changed the language to English, when I wanted to open my ipad later there was no Arabic letters to enter my Arabic passcode..and I am not able to use my Ipad again please advice me what to do
Hello Shaholeh87,
Do you see a Globe icon on left hand side of your Spacebar if yes try pressing that and see if you get an option of changing the keboard language (this will work if you have Multiple language set on your iPhone from Settings>General>Keyboard>International Keyboards and added a keyboard in Arabic Language before )
Or you can get your iPhone in Recovery Mode and Restore it to Factory settings but you will lose all your current Data that you have on your iPhone.
To Restore your iPhone by taking it in Recovery Mode you can follow the below steps :
Follow the process mentioned below step by step to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad working.
Make sure you have Latest Version of iTunes (11.1.3) Downloaded and Installed on your Computer, if not then you can download the latest version of iTunes from the Link below.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now once you have the Updated version of iTunes installed on your computer follow the below steps to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad in Recovery Mode and Then restore it to factory settings
Open iTunes Application on your computer and then start the process step by step
1>Disconnect your device from the computer (if connected). The process won’t work if you start with the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad connected to the computer. Leave the cable connected to the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, as you will be reconnecting the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to the Computer later in the process.
2>Power down your device. Turn off your device by holding down the Power button ( On Top right corner of iPod). When the power slider appears, slide it to the right. Wait for your device to comepletely shut down before continuing.
3>Press and hold the Home button (Home Button is located at bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad screen/display). With the Home button held connect the device to your computer with the USB cable. When reconnected, your device should turn on.
(If the low battery screen appears, charge your device for a few minutes and try the process again.)
4>Continue holding the Home button. After a few moments, you will see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your device. This screen is a picture of an arrow pointing from a USB cable to the iTunes logo. When you see the screen you can release the Home button.
5>iTunes will display a message stating that a device in recovery mode has been connected. From there you can proceed to restore your iOS device. Once you see this message click on OK and then click on Restore
Once you click on Restore iTunes will download the Latest available version of iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad software (ipsw file) in your computer and after the download is completed the same will be restored in your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. You will see the Download process and Restore process on top of your iTunes screen. Once the restore is completed your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad will automatically restart and you will see a message that iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad has been Restored and will connect after restart.
Now you will have to follow some steps on your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to Customize your Device for First Use.
Hope this process will help you -
I have an iMac that I purchased back in 2010 and over the past 9 month or less my computer just started shutting down while someone was in the process or working on it. What could this come from? Is there a simple solutions to this problem?
Which model iMac do you have? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1758 How to identify iMac models
Which OS is currently installed?

You just changed Contacts in GMAIL and I cannot restore my contacts from the previous version. I followed your instructions but it did not restore close to 500 contacts that i have which are in the Other Contacts area.
Hi robertsjohn125,
Contacts are not managed in Firefox, unless you are taking about Firefox Desktop and Firefox Hello?
Where do you manage your contacts, this might help direct you to the correct support. -
