If you use imessage while on WiFi does it still use your data plan or does it only use the data plan if you're on 3G?

I just got the new iPhone4s (my first time off of a flip phone!) with the imessaging but I'm not sure if that is going to use up my data plan if I use it instead of texts.  If I'm at home on my wifi will that still take away from my data plan if I use imessage? I know that FaceTime works off of wifi as opposed to the data plan but wasn't sure if it was the same for imessage.  I'm on the Verizon data plan if that matters.
Thanks!

This weekend, the AT&T tower near our home failed.  We had no AT&T cell service whatsoever.  During this time, our home WiFi was always running at 100%.  No iMessage would go through, nor could any iMessage be received.  Both my and my wife's iPhone 4S were connected to the home WiFi and were used with it.  Two things did not work: cell service and iMessage.
I think that iMessage seems to rely on the phone data plan, or at least the cell service must be in range to use it.

  • With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. iPad Synchronization is fine. Any ideas to solve it?

    With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. Even canceling takes forever.
    iPad2 sync is fine.

    This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
    The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

    When I copy/paste text to an ipages empty document can does it only show the first page of what I copied?

    You want to use word processing mode. I suggest you ask your question in the Pages forum and include information about what you are copying. Off the top of my head I can't come up with any reason you'd see this in WP mode.   https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

  • A while ago i went to sync music onto my Ipod Touch. Not only did the computer erase my music i had no idea how to get it back :( I contacted Apple on the phone but the name was american and i found it really hard to understand him. How do i get it back!

    A while ago i went to sync music onto my Ipod Touch. Not only did the computer erase my music i had no idea how to get it back I contacted Apple on the phone but the name was american and i found it really hard to understand him. How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • If I select multiple images to apply a change to all Aperture it does so only with the first selected. Why?

    If I select multiple images to apply a change to all openings it does so only with the first selected. Why?

    You probably have Primary Selection only on.
    Aperture identifies the images you’ve selected by displaying them with a white border. When you select a group of images, the actively selected image, called the primary selection, appears with a thick white border and the rest of the selected images appear with thin white borders.
    Primary Only button: Click this button to make changes to the primary image selection only.

  • Does firefox home sync the safari bookmarks on my iphone, or does it only sync the bookmarks in the app firefox home?

  • Why does preview only export the the *first* page of a multi-page PDF, regardless of what page I'm on?

    I am trying to save all 20 pages of a pdf as .png images. I scroll to each page and then select File>Export... and save an image. Regardless of which page I'm on, it will only export the first page.
    *LAME*
    What is even more lame is that I'm doing this work-around because whoever created this datasheet either didn't properly embed the fonts, or the fonts are corrupt, hence, while it displays perfectly on the screen, printing yeilds:
    ERROR: invalidfont
    OFFENDING COMMAND: show
    STACK:
    If it can display it, there should be a way to print what you see (remember rasterized plots back in the day??).

    That does seem rather useless.
    Use Automator - it has a "PDF to Images" action that will do exactly what you need. Drop your document into the workflow, drop the "PDF to Images" action in right after that, set any options that you need (like where to save) and then click "run"
    Barring that, I've found that sometimes Adobe Reader will sometimes work well for documents that Preview can't print, and I've found some documents that Adobe Reader chokes on but Preview handles flawlessly.

  • HT201406 while trying to update my ipod touch  something happened and now my screen only shows the apple logo and nothing else happens

    while updating my ipod touch something happened and now the screen only shows the apple logo that goes on-off. i dont know what to do,please somebody help me!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does Safari only display the first page of PDFs

    When I use Safari to view PDFs attached to a web site I manage only the first page of the PDF displays. There is no problem if I use other browsers. Also the problem is specific to my machine as other Mac users can view all pages of the PDF on their machines. I have looked at Safari Preferences but there does not appear to be any incorrect settings.

    Hi
    do you have any 'pdf' plugins showing in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ ?
    If you do, quit all browsers & drag the plugin to the Desktop, or some other folder, then test pdf's again. If they still display oddly, try quitting Safari & removing the file Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
    If np pdf plugins show, try the plist move anyway & if you still have problems, it's helpful to test this in a New User Account which takes but a few minutes & tells us if it's a system-wide issue, or restricted to your regular user.

  • When looking for images on Google Images why does Firefox only load the first page?

    For over a month now whenever I've gone to Google Images only the first page of pictures is shown, the others are just gray boxes or nothing at all. I've cleared my cache and cookies, but don't know what else I can try.

    Does it help if you disable "Google Instant" in the Google Search settings?
    You can click the Gear icon (top right) to open the Google Settings page
