IPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 - Data Roaming Off/On control missing
My iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 does not have the Data Roaming Off/On control under Settings>General>Network. Where did this critical control go? It is still referenced in the iPhone user Manual for iOS 5. Note that this is very different from the Cellular Data Off/On control. The Data Roaming control should be default Off to prevent using very expensive data when roaming outside the USA.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
Is your iPhone belongs to your company?

Face time with wifi only. I have a 4Gs iPhone traveling to Japan. Can I use face time with another 4Gs or IMacback in the States using just wifi and with I have my Celluar Data and Data Roaming off?
Thanks, After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done), I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time. It worked! Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans.

Global data charges with data roaming OFF
I have an issue with both my iPhone 4 and 4S getting incoming global data "leakage" I will call it.
Both are running iOS 6.1.3, which is the latest software update. Both phones are used fairly regulary along the San Diego border with Mexico, and often times on the Mexican side within 2-3 miles of the border. My phones are always set as follows: "Cellular Data -> On" Roaming = "Voice Roaming -> On" and "Data Roaming -> Off" with the iPhone 4S also having "International CDMA -> On"
However, both phones consistently receive incoming global data hits in very minor amounts (0.1 KB to 5.5. KB) when they are in an area where the signal is switching between my USA carrier (Verizon) and the Mexican cellphone towers. I know this because almost every time it happens it is when we are crossing the border or close to the border where the towers are competing for the signal to my phones. In one case I watched as my iPhone 4 switched from Verizon 3G to Extended network and shortly thereafter I received a push notification (message) from my WhatsApp application. The next day it showed the hit on my daily usage as a 6.9 KB hit even though data roaming was set to OFF.
Please don't respond to tell me that the solution is to switch Cellular Data -> Off when I am near the border. I already know this will solve the problem, but the issue is that we want to use the full functionality of our phones in this area as our employment and our residence is right along the border and we don't want to have to suspend data completely every single time we cross the border, which is nearly every day.
The data hits have thus far been in the range of less than 500 KB per month total (almost no impact at $5 per MB) so my concern is not so much with the minimal expenses incurred, it is more the principal of the issue and the problem.
I want to know if there are other users experiencing the same issue so I can have some more evidence to get Verizon to push Apple for a fix. Apple iPhones have consistently had "Data/WiFi/Roaming" issues on its phones since 2008 (or more as far as I can tell) and I believe this is a related issue that has never fully been fixed.
Thanks in advance for your replies of similar situations, regardless of what country this happened in.Thanks for clarifying. I do hope you had a wonderful trip! You mentioned you were turning the cellular data on occasionally to use a little data. When your data is turned on, even for just a few minutes, your phone sees that connection as a window to look through your applications for any notifications that you've missed and download email and other messages, occasionally resulting in a significant amount of data usage. What were the countries that you visited? When you log in to view your statement on http://bit.ly/xB4iTc, does it show you had a $25 Global Data or $29.99 Global Value plan for any part of your trip?
Thank you

I am unable to create a new event on my iPhone with IOS 7.0.4. I tap the plus sign, fill in the details, tape Done and ... nothing. Repeatedly. No problem on my iMac or iPad, just with the phone. Help.
Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?

Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.
Hi deamayfield,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"
Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup". -
I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and ICloud. My Contact information is missing phone numbers. What is my fix?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

just updated my iphone with iOS 7.0.2 and when I call or people call me, only one party can hear the other. Would you know how to fix this problem? Thanks
Hi Apple_Mom,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

Try rephrasing your question.
What does your card have to do with it and how do you complete a phone with ios 6?
What exactly are you doing, and what is the exact message you're getting? -
I hv iPhone with ios 6.0.2
My iphone could not able to check for update…it’s just showing “checking for updates” with loading sign
How can I upgrade to ios 7?
Help plsI agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering. -
Hi all ,i had a 3G iphone with IOS 4.0.2, my new iphone is 4 (IOS=7.0.2), the backup from 3G to 4 does not restore. (eror=restoring backup session failed) , help me plz for restoring ?! TNX
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Well, first off, you are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user PUBLIC forum. You should not post your personal information like that. Try closing iTunes, reboot the computer and connect again. Are you using the latest version of iTunes, v11.1?
