Is there a way you can stop Apps using 3G or 4G data whilst your devices is connected via WIFI?

Is there a way you can stop Apps using cellular data, but allow them to use data only through a WIFI connection? 
I have tried leaving the cellular data switch on, but switching OFF "Use Cellular Data for" for all apps.  But on checking the data usage from my phone provider these Apps have still been using cellular network to download data.
It seems even though my phone is connected to the WIFI (and showing a good signal) some apps are still using the cellular network to download data.
It seems my only option is to switch Cellular data off all together but this is not my preference as I require a particular app to still be able to use cellular data in the case of an emergency.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks that's very helpful.
It shows up on my bill for example "You Tube", with the times and amount downloaded.  I know for a fact I have not been using this app at the times shown. It must be processing some information in the background, of which I have also switched off "Background App Refresh".
Sounds like a programming change required by Apple.  Surely if you switch cellular data off for a particular app that should override this from happening whether the phone's in sleep mode or not......
Any idea how I take this issue up with Apple?

    hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

  • Is there a way you can change your app locations on iTunes?

    It's tedious when trying to drag an app that you really like past 4 'pages' of apps to the 1st page.

    HI,
    Is there a way you can change your app locations on iTunes?
    Yes. Connect your iPhone to your computer, launch iTunes. Select your iPhone under Devices on the left. Select "Apps" in the menu. You can drag apps to any of the home screens you want, then click: Apply bottom right corner of the iTunes window.

    I am setting up a time capsule for a client for his PC/Mac Business, he has 2 Windows based PCs that run XP, one intel iMac running Tiger, and one Dual 1.25GHz G4 running an OS9 app that he needs for his business.

    I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

    If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup.  That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now.  Sorry.

    Hello,
    Unfortunatelly there is no option to automatically reload the sequences that got modified outside the current application.
    I'm not quite sure why you are getting this message. However, since you mentioned you modified the process model, I have a couple of suggestions:
    1) Make sure you are not modifing your sequences at runtime. Usually you get this message when you modify properties under SequenceFile. This is the File object and if you change it, TS may reload it.
    2) When you call your sequences, also make sure you have the same prototype for the parameters your sequence is expecting and the ones you are sending.
    Maybe you can gice us some more details about how you executing this sequences and how you modified the process model.

    Your are likely to find running two different AppleIDs on the same device to be more trouble than it is worth. Apps and content cannot be shared between IDs.

  • Is there a way you can simply drop singles from downloads into itunes without disrupting layout

    Is there a way you can simply drop singles from downloads into itunes without disrupting layout, so you can say put some recently downloaded singles off the net into your own various  folder without messing up the whole neatness of all the other album covers by adding fifty plus single covers...
    ie. I just dropped a Naughty boy La la la single into my perfect looking iTune library and it does this...
    Adds it as an album cover with no pic, and even if I add a pic, it isn't an album anyways!
    I realise I can probably create and rename every single downloaded single to exactly the same info etc, but this is sooooooooo long winded!
    Please help! everything else works perfect apart from this!
