Is phone signal seperate from data or do I have to have date turned on to keep my phone signal

I leave my data off, due to being a new iPhone owner and worrying about charges. Twice my phone service dropped to "searching". The AT&T store said that the phone is defective as phone and data are to separate functions of the phone, person at the help line said data has to be on for the phone to work. Any input from the rest of the iPhone world?

The switch that says Cellular Data is just that, data. The phone should operate if you have data turned off. You would not be able to access Visual Voicemail, or email, the Internet, etc., however you would be able to make and receive phone calls. If you cannot, then the user troubleshooting steps are first power off/on, if that doesn't help, then a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, if that doesn't help, then a restore is next, first from a backup, and if necessary as a new device. If nothing works from there, then a trip to the Genius Bar at Apple is in order.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT1212 I followed the steps to restart my iPhone 4s completely after it was disabled; and it is still asking me to enter the forgotten passcode. Trying to restore from backup it says I have to turn off 'find my iphone" first, but  Cloud doesn't recognise

    I am currently trying to download the latest iTunes version but I don't know that is going to help me as the problem is basic to Apple security.

    If Find My iPhone is on and you cannot identify your phone as you said in the previous post, then it is not logged into your account. Is this a used phone that you are trying to restore that was not activated with your Apple ID and password? It isn't asking for a passcode, it is asking for the Apple ID and password, correct?
    I think you need to tell a little more about this phone. I don't think you have told the entire story. Even the part in your first post about downloading iTunes. What kind of computer and operating system are you using? What version of iTunes do you currently have? Did you purchase and activate this phone when it was new?

  • HT4759 I just got a new macbook pro and I would like to have all of my contacts from my iPhone 4s imported. I have iCloud turned on on both devices but the contacts are not importing what am I missing

    For some strange reason my contacts are not populating on my macbook from my iPhone. I have iCloud turned on on both devices and I have selected the contacts folder to be in the cloud but my macbook isn't populating the data.

    To copy your exchange account contacts to iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from our exchange account you will need the “Pro” version.  If you aren't sure, start with the free version.  When you use it, it will tell you if you need the paid version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that and send the email to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing.*
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the exchange contacts back to your device, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm that the contacts are there.  If you ever want to "refresh" this with your current exchange contacts, you can reply to this conversation in the future and I can give you the steps to do so.
    * You could leave it turned on if you want to reference it occasionally.  If you do, just open contacts and tap Groups, then tap the exchange account so it is unchecked and tap Done.  That will hide them from view so you don't see duplicates.

  • I want to be able to save texts to a file or folder seperate from the rest of my texts.  This is so I can forward them onto someone else at a later date.

    Hi
    I want to be able to save texts to a file or folder seperate from the rest of my texts.  This is so I can foward them onto someone else at a later time.
    I have always had this facility on my previous phones e.g. blackberry but can't seem to find a way with my Iphone.

    No such option is available with the iPhone.
    A text can be forwarded, but texts are saved in conversation format by contact/phone number.
    Texts are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are a number of 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer - viewing/archiving/printing, etc.
    Here is one.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

  • What can I expect of my 4s with wifi  connectivity. My 4s receive a signal from the same router I have always used. My 3G would pick up a signal throughout the house, and my 4s won't allow me out of the room. Is my new phone defective or just inferior.

  • I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

    i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died.  Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music.  It is all grey at the top of the screen.  Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id.  So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised.  if anyone can be of assistance then great!

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law &amp; Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account &amp; theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store &amp; they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Extract Month & Year  From Date

    Hi All,
    I have a key figure quantity and i want the data on date,for the month and for the year.
    i create the variables for the date,for the month(ie from date to date) and for the year(ie, from date to date) seperatly that means i have three input variables which may sometimes create confusion.
    My problem is that I want to enter only date and the variable itself calculate the month and year from the date so that it returns the data as desired above.
    for eg. : Now i to enter date : 3/14/2009
              enter MTD (FROM/TO) : 3/01/2009 - 3/14/2009
              enter YTD (FROM/TO) : 4/01/2008 - 3/14/2009
    I want to enter only date : 3/14/2009
    and the variable itself extract the month and year till date.
    and also the same variable calculates number of days so that need not to take the formula variable of date difference to calculate the average qty.
    Neha..

    Hi,
    1. Create User Entry Variable on 0CALDAY : Name = ZCDAY.
    2. Craete a Customer Exit Variable on 0CALDAY: Name  = ZMTD.
    3. Craete a Customer Exit Variable on 0CALDAY: Name  = YMTD.
    Properties of Customer Exit Variables.
    Variable reporesents = Single
    Variable Entry = Mandatory
    Processing By = Customer Exit.
    Character = Calender Day
    Here I'm thinking that ZKF is your key figure.
    In columns you create two selections one is for MTD and other is for YTD.
    In MTD selection, drag and drop ZKF and Drag and Drop 0CALDAY and then Right Clcik and Restrict-->
    Selection = Value Range. (In Between) and restrict with the follwoing Variables
    []ZMTD; ZCDAY.
    In YTD selection, drag and drop ZKF and Drag and Drop 0CALDAY and then Right Clcik and Restrict-->

    I have an iphone 4.I upgraded it to 5.0.1 and so I have lost all the data from my iPhone,but i have a backup in my computer.How do I use the backup file ? i.e How will i get that backup file in my iPhone ?

    Connect phone to computer.
    Select Restore.
    Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
    Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

  • Can you customize report "page" tabs so they are named automatically from data in the file, and can you add "pages" dynamically?

    I am looking to develop a dynamic report template for our internal reporting use.  Namely, I am looking for the ability to do two things:
    1)  Update the names of the tabs at the bottom of the report template (lets call them the "pages" of the report) from data stored within the file (for instance, label a tab with the "description" property from a given group or channel)
    2)  Add additional tabs with associated graphs based on the number of groups a particular file has (for instance, a particular component could have a test life of 2000 hrs, but have been put through several different tests along the way.  It would be nice to show an overall life summary on the first tab, and then break out the data from the individual tests on seperate tabs with labels specific to that test, such as test #, etc.)
    Any ideas on how this may (or may not) be done?

    Hi SethRow187,
    Let's take this one step at a time, starting with the one REPORT sheet per Data Portal Group request.  This is something that I do all the time, and I have developed lots of standard functions that I can re-use quickly and easily.  DIAdem has the basic functions which enable this, but it takes quite a few commands to get this to work the way you and I want with absolute control.
    In the "Group Sheets General" example I'm attaching below, the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, and then subsequently altered programmatically so that all the Group references in the REPORT objects (graphs, tables, text boxes) are replaced with references to the current Group.  This results in N REPORT sheets where each sheet has explicit references to a particular Group.
    In the "Group Sheets Simple" example I'm attaching below, again the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, but in this case no further change is made to each REPORT sheet after it is loaded.  This results in N REPORT sheets which are absolutely identical in content to each other and which all reference the default Group.  They appear different when refreshed because in each sheet, under its "Settings>>Layout Setup>>Worksheet Parameters" dialog there is a command configured to run each time the sheet is refreshed-- this command uses the current REPORT sheet index to set the corresponding Group to be the default Group.
    In both cases the name of the Group is used for the REPORT sheet, which is convenient in that both Group names and REPORT sheet names are required to be unique, but you could use the Group description or any other property instead as long as you ensure that it has not already been used to name a previous REPORT sheet.
    I also have scripts to concatenate the contents of N Groups into a new Group, located at the top of the Data Portal, and this combined with the below attached applications would give you the lead off overview REPORT sheet you mentioned.

  • Capturing Audio from DAT

    Hello,
    I'm trying to capture audio from a DAT deck (Tascam DA-20) into FCP HD by routing it through my JVC BR-DV600U DV deck (RCA output from DAT, RCA input to DV deck, Firewire into FCP).
    The DV deck's input is set to line-in, and the audio is being routed through (audio meters on DV deck mimic those on DAT deck, and I can hear the audio through the headphones jacked into my DV deck).
    However, when I try to capture the audio on FCP, I am unsuccessful, prompting the following window from FCP: "Error: Final Cut Pro HD was unable to read the movie file just captured."
    Now, I use the same set up I described above to capture footage from my Beta deck into FCP with no problems (route Beta signal through DV deck and firewire it into FCP). This leads me to believe that perhaps the glitch lies within my Capture Presets.
    At first, I tried to capture the signal as an Audio-Only DV NTSC 48 Khz/Non-controllable device. After that failed, I tried to create my own capture preset, but am not sure it will make a difference, as the only input choices I am given are DV Audio, Built-In Audio, and None.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Why not capture the audio content outside of FCP, check the sample rate for 48Khz/16-bit, convert if necessary, save as an AIFF file, and then import that resulting sound file into FCP?
    Any good audio app, including STP will do captures.
    You are probably going to need to do some cleanup on the audio anyway before you use it, so why not just use an audio app to do it beforehand?
    Besides, if you have an audio device (PCI card or Firewire device) in your Mac, you can use the S/PDIF port for your connection to the DAT and do a digital transfer when you import.
    As I understand the way you are doing it now, you are taking digital content from the DAT, converting it to analog for the connection into your deck, and then re-converting it into digital when you capture it back into FCP.
    One big advantage of digital audio (and video) is to avoid generation loss and added noise during transfer if you go D-to-D.
    If you don't have an audio card or Firewire A/D audio I/O device with S/PDIF ports in your Mac, then see if you can find a friend who has one and can do the transfer for you. Then he can give you the file on a CD-ROM.
    That's what I'd do.

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
