I just upgraded my iPhone to OS7 and in 2 days have used all my data
I just upgraded my iPhone 4S to OS7 and in 2 days I've used all my data (I'm on a limited plan due to having multiple lines on my phone plan). I never had problems staying within my old data plan before. I only upgraded because I was told to reset on my Macbook to get rid of a glitch in my operating system that was draining my battery after 4 hours. Unfortunately, it wouldn't let me reset until my iTunes was upgraded to OS7. So now I am stuck with an operating system I don't like, that is somehow using all my data, and still gives me less than one day's battery life. I've tried turning off as many things as possible but don't know what's using the data. Any suggestions?
You're welcome - the location settings under system services are something everyone should be keeping an eye on.
Things like frequent locations may be great and some people may love them, but they are inherently battery hogs as they are trying to track your daily movements in real time. And those features in system services also transmit all that location information they gather back to Apple regularly.
Again, its potentially great for things they develop from it, like better traffic apps and so on, but it has a down side too. Personally, I have had everything in system services disabled since the ability to do so was first introduced - any potential upside has no value to me personally, and the downside is not something I wish to live with.
But with the projected growth of both location based features, and the projected value to companies of location based user data, there are only going to be more things in there, not fewer.

I've just upgraded my iPhone 5 with new iOS 7. I noticed that i cannot send a photo as a iMessage directly from Photo application as I could while was on iOS 6. Anybody knows something about this?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -
This all started when we noticed our phone's and calendars were not syncing. We thought it was because we needed to upgrade from Leopard to Lion and because of ICloud.
You must have PPC-only versions of the software which cannot be used in Lion. If you can't upgrade the software, then you will need to downgrade to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -

I have just synced my work iphone to my new mac and have lost photos, work email etc I am being asked for a password for mu iphone backup, however cannot remember this and cannot seem to get a hint - can anyone help please. I had not previously synced this phone with another computer
Hi Bob
Thanks for the input. Interesting that it ran on my computer for a
while (about 2 days) before it first started bleating. I suppose if I
had to upgrade, it would be to the Mac version. Everything else I
have tried on Parallels works, even Steinberg's Wavelab, which I
thought would be an impossibility.
I shall persevere. I am just appalled at the level of support that
Adobe provides, plus the fact that their website just plain doesn't
work.

I Just upgrades to the new system and can not see or use itunes on my iPhone or iPad, please help?
Easy,
Restart your PC, then restart your iPhone/iPad. Then once your computer reboots, connect the devices using the USB cable.
Let me know!

I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be separated. What is going on here?
I noticed the same problem after upgrading a few iPhones to IOS 8, all use the same Apple ID. However, I now notice when I go into Message and instead of selecting a person from my contact list, I start typing their name which brings up a list of people, some of which are not in my contact list and are on one of the other iPhones. There's a circle/exclamation point next to the name which I click on, and one of the options is to "Remove from Recent". How did these names get from one phone to another and how do I remove all "recents"? They do not appear in my contact list. Anyone see this?

Hi, just upgraded my iphone 4s to ios6. all of my playlists are gone and if i create a new one, i does not appear on my phone. itunes match is activated. can someone help me?
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I just upgraded my iphone and now whenever it goes to sleep I have to enter a password to open it. Very frustrating! Can I disable this annoying feature? I went to Settings and disabled the Find My Phone feature thinking that would do it. But it didn't.
I am somewhat infotech-challenged. So I would appreciate help on this. Thank you in advance.Settings > General > Passcode Lock : OFF
Important leave Find My iPhone ON in

I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5 and my universal doc stopped working with it? It has worked flawlessly for the last year and suddenly I get the message: "this iphone is not optimized for this device." I dismiss the message, but the remote no longer works with it and the music is too quite to the speakers. The remote works fine with my Macbook Pro. I tried a restore on the iPhone and started from scrach, but the same problem exists.
Any help with this?
Thanks,

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?
I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.
