Itunes account cellular data usage

My phone has finished in a couple of days my 2GB data plan. I reset the usage and turned off all cellular data but noticed that the one that consumes all the data is the "iTunes Accounts" in system services. Does anyone know how to turn this off or what to do so it does not consume all my cellular data? Thanks.

Hey Krest666,
The last few things to try is to reset the settings on your iPhone to put that back to their defaults. It will not erase any content but you will have to go in set everything back to how you had it. The last thing to try is to restore your iPhone and set it up as new and test out those apps if the data usage turns back on.

Iphone 5 excessive cellular data usage

I am a new iPhone user and I am a bit concerned for how fast my phone burns through data. I have an iPhone 5, ios 7.0.4, and my cellphone provider is Fido in Canada (May be irrelevant info). I manually turn cellular data off whenever it's not in use. At times where I use wifi (which is about 98% of the time), I never leave cellular data on at the same time. So, I have 2 issues:
1) In system services under Cellular data usage, "iTunes Accounts" seems to be the top user of data. I looked at some previous discussions on this matter and many have said that turning off iCloud would do the trick, as well as turning off 'push'. However, I have never had my iCloud account nor "iTunes and App store," logged on. I have 'updates' and 'use cellular data' turned off as well for this feature. On top of that, under "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars' I have Fetch New Data set as 'hourly' instead of "Push". So why is it that my under system services, 'iTunes Accounts" still jumps up a few hundred kb whenever I DO have cellular data turned on.
2) How much data does the Facebook App use? Lets say I turn cellular data on, then I open up the Facebook App, and I scroll down my news feed. I do not select any pictures, videos, or profiles. I then check my data usage and somehow I burned 4mb on this specific app! I understand images take up more usage but I find that a bit suspicious.
Of course, this isn't the only app that seems to be hogging data. It's just amazing how other phone users (iphones and android users) can just leave their data on without their data randomly draining.

You are welcome
Usually data consumed by system services is on the higher side.
I would suggest reseting the data counter and then checking again after few hours to know the real culprit.
To reset the counter, there's an option "Reset Statistics", just under the list we discussed before.
This way you would get to know which app is using your data righ now.

What causes cellular data usage to decrease if last reset has not changed? I reset every pay period cuz I do not have unlimited and was showing 125 mb sent/1.2g received. Now showing 98mb sent/980mb received. Last reset still shows same

I reset my cellular data usage every month at the beginning of my billing period so that I can keep track of how much data I am using thru out the month. I do not have the unlimited data plan and have gone over a few times. It's usually the last couple days of my billing cycle and I am charged $10 for an extra gig which I barely use 10% of before my usage is restarted for new billing cycle. FYI, they do not carry the remainder of the unused gig that you purchase for $10 which I disagree with. But have accepted. Lol Moving on.
I have two questions. One possibly being answered by the other. 1. Is cellular data used when I sync to iTunes on my home computer to load songs onto my iPhone from my iTunes library(songs that already exist)? 2. What causes the cellular data usage readings in iPhone settings/general/usage/cellular usage to decrease if my last reset has not changed? It is close to end of my billing cycle and I have been keeping close eye. Earlier today it read around 180mb sent/1.2gb received. Now it reads 90mb sent/980 mb recieved. My last reset date reads the same as before. I don't know if my sync and music management had anything to do with the decrease but i didn't notice the decrease until after I had connected to iTunes and loaded music. I should also mention that a 700mb app automatically loaded itself to my phone during the sync process. Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage? Guess turned out to be more than two questions but all related. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. It is information I find valuable. Sorry for the book long question.

1) No.
2) It does provide an estimated usage, but it's not accurate. For accurate determination, you should check the remaining/used MBs from the carrier (most of the carriers provide this service for free).

I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps. When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage. Any thoughts?

I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists. I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems.
Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening. After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders. Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!". I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad. Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
Thank you

I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested. Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on. It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).

After updated to ios 4.3.2, network cellular data usage bug..

I just updated my iphone 4 to ios 4.3.2, and I have so many problems now
I have lag problem that it takes forever to access to setting.
Also the network cellular data usage keeps changing..
I got 118TB sent and sometimes I get -162...sent I am outside of country so I didn't wanna get roaming charge so I put on airplane mode
and I turned off cellular data and the first time I checked my usage I was freaked out!
It scares me that 118TB that was sent which is ridiculous and I never ever used actually will be on my bill or something..
I am wondering if this is just an error that I can ignore..it scares me..
and is there any way I can fix it?
i have screenshots

Hard-reset didn't work multiple times.
Restore from backup didn't work either.
I called AT&T from skype on my computer and resolved the issue. Thank you for your help everyone. Here is the solution that worked for me for others to reference:
I swapped my iphone 4 SIM card with my wife's iphone 4 SIM card. Both phones received service immediately and I made successful test calls from both phones. Upon returning the SIM cards to the rightful phones, they both worked right away. I suppose just removing and reinstalling the SIM card could have worked.

Cellular data usage spiking while using WIFI

Over the last couple of months, we have noticed a HUGE spike in our Cellular Data usage. We have had an iPhone 5 for a little over a year and have always been under our 2GB limit. However, during October our "usage" spiked to almost 4GB resulting in additional charges. In November, we saw our "usage" spike to almost 5GB. We do not stream music nor videos and have gone as far as to turn off data for apps and images on emails. Additionally, we use WIFI at home with multiple access points to ensure complete coverage. This is maddening and extremely frustrating knowing we have not drastically changed our usage and have most likely decreased our usage based on our awareness of the issue. Verizon's solutions are to increase our plan, turn off cellular data while on WIFI, and wipe the phone. All of which are not acceptable. The suggestion that 4G results in higher data usage than 3G is just ridiculous. I will be watching our usage this month very closely and refuse to pay any overages. If it continues to climb, I will make my voice heard the only other way I know how by walking to another carrier. I have been a Verizon supporter and customer for almost 10 years however, this is unacceptable.

My findings on the matter are summarized here...

Elimininating cellular data usage

Now that AT&T is obviously trying to get us to adopt low use plans (and then be able to ding us with overage charges) I want to take control of my cellular data usage.
Even if I'm on a wifi network, if I set my "Settings|General|Usage"Cellular Network Data" stats to zero I find that I'm still sending and receiving cellular data.
Any ideas on how to determine what rogue apps are using my now precious data traffic?
What I really want is to be able to tell my iPhone not to use ANY cellular connections unless I specifically ask it to. That way I don't get random chatter sucking up my data when I'm away from wifi.

Thanks for the info! That's what I was hoping to hear.
Personally, its not worth it to give up my unlimited to save 5 bucks a month.
But my wife never goes over 100 Meg a month so we're definitely dropping her to the 200 Meg plan ($15 IS worth it.)
More important though is the fact that I'll be giving my daughter my 3GS when I get my iPhone 4 this month, and I want better control of data usage now that she'll be on a limited plan.
I do think that Apple has to provide much better tools for controlling Cellular data usage. What you describe is a nice start, but the iPhone could be MUCH smarter about making quick adjustments more obvious and easy.
One obvious solution would be to allow quick toggles to be exposed as one-click apps instead of requiring that we have to drill down through multiple screens in the Settings app.
One click to turn cellular on/off.
One click to turn wifi on/off.
etc.
The sad part is that these are all do-able by third-party developers now, but Apple for some reason doesn't allow it. (Apps that do these things have been rejected.)
What's up with that?

Cellular data usage statistics just reset itself - iOS 5.0.1, iPhone 4S

My cellular data usage counter just reset itself.
It is not the first time I noticed it, it is 2nd or 3rd time since my upgrade to 4S with iOS 5.x.x.
It never happened to me previously (iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.x.x).
Any idea why?
My 4S is factory unlocked, bought in Europe if it matters.
It is on the latest iOS 5.0.1 but it happened at least once with 5.0, too.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Gitarzysta

Well I can't really say it is a problem yet, as I have only seen it happen once. There has to be logs somewhere that I can find. Might have to do some web searches. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this or seen it.
I do thank you though.

Why does "itunes accounts" use data with all settings OFF?

Does anyone know how to keep "iTunes accounts" under system from using cellular data?
I have already:
1. Toggled OFF all settings in the "Use cellular data for" menu.
2. Turned OFF all automatic downloads and any other options under iTunes/app store settings.
3. Turned OFF Background App refresh.
4. Turned OFF all options under iCloud sync menu.
Right now, the only thing that keeps "iTunes accounts" from pulling cellular data is turning Cellular Data completely OFF, but I don't want to do this because I lose some messaging and voicemail functions and I need to be able to use Find My Phone. I have two identical iPhone 5c's on this account. One is running iOs 8.1.2 and the above settings control it's data usage nicely. The other phone is running iOs 8.1.3 and this one uses 50-100 mb a day even with all the above settings off and the phone almost always on wifi.
I am aware that the phone will lose it's wifi connection when asleep, but that shouldn't be a problem if all the apps/settings are already set not to use cellular data. What am I missing. I've read a bunch of threads on this issue and they all suggest settings I already have OFF.

My personal phone is on 8.1.2. My daughter's phone is 8.1.3.
It is her phone that is currently having this problem, but I reported it under my account; sorry for the confusion.
My phone has had some data problems in the past, but I have been able to control them by keeping almost all data options OFF and the overall switch ON. My usage is back to less than 50 mb per month which makes sense since my phone is almost always on wifi and I don't use data dense applications.
Everything about my daughter's phone is the same as mine except for the 8.1.3 upgrade. She does use things like Instagram more than I do, but I have them all set to not use Cellular Data and the option to change these settings is locked. When I look at the usage on her phone, it isn't her apps that are pulling unexpected data; it's "iTunes accounts" under system services. All the options under iTunes/App Store (auto downloads, home sharing, etc.) and all the iCloud options are already OFF.

Iphone 5 - anyone having huge cellular data usage problem on ATT

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to Iphone 5. Over a period of last year, My average monthly data usage is approx 400MB (total less than 5GB in a year). AT&T is reporting that my Iphone 5 data usage crossed 6GB in a 3 day period . I called AT&T and have to listen to LTE, Iphone 5 and Multiple app running in background non-sense as an explanation for 6GB data usage over a 3 day period. My Itune and app store does not download over cellular network. Even though Iphone 5 automatically creates an Icloud account during initial setup, I am not connected to Icloud on Iphone and never even logged on to Icloud account. IOS 6 setting for sending data diagnostic over cellular network is set to no.
I feel this is same bug which Verizon user are reporting and ATT is not commenting on it till now. How can I consume over 6GB worth of data over a 3 day period which is more than my total data usage for a year. That is equivalent of streaming hd video (approx 300 MB per hour) for 20 hours.

Why do I have mysterious cellular data usage (Verizon) every 6 hours on all 3 of my iphone 5's?

I have recently uncovered mysterious cellular usage on three different iPhones. I am a Verizon customer and discovered this by examining the cellular data use logs. What I found are a long series of mysterious data usage logs. I have visited the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store 3 times now to log notes and discuss the issue. It is being escalated.
The characterstics are as follows:
All my family phones have the appropriate IOS and hardware updates (verified by the GeniusBar at my local Apple Store).
This is occuring across three phones, which happen to all be iphone 5. Two are 5 and the other a new 5s. We do have one iphone 4 in the family but the issue (so far as I can tell), is not happening on it.
One iphone 5 has IOS 7, the other IOS 6. The new 5s has of course IOS 7.
Mysterious data use happens even while connected to wifi.
Each mysterious data use log entry is exactly 6 hours apart. For example: 2:18 AM, 8:18 AM, 2:18 PM, 8:18 PM, 2:18 AM ... etc. It cycles AM and PM, same times, for a day to many days until some condition causes it to change (evolve).
The times evolve. One day it could be cycling through at one time series, then it changes to another time sequence and continues until the next condition.
The data usage is anywhere from a few K to many MB. The largest I've seen is over 100 MB.
The logs clearly show these usages are not due to human interaction. It is a program.
If cellular connection is used frequently (by the owner), the pattern is hard to pick out. Luckily, my family member is very good about only using wifi whenever possible, so these mysterious use patterns are easy to pick out.
Verizon allows access to 90 days worth of data logs, so I downloaded and analyzed them. This has been happening for at least 90 days. I have found 298 instances of mysterious use out of 500 total connections to cellular. A total of 3.5 GB of mysterious cellular data has been recorded as used in that 90 days by this phone alone. Only .6 GB of the total cellular data use is legitimate, meaning by the person.
This issue is occuring across three different phones. Two are iPhone 5, and the third is a recently purchased iPhone 5s. The 5s I have not touched beyone the basic startup. I have left it alone on a desk for 3 days, and looking at the logs, the mysterious data use in the same pattern is occuring.
So ... I am speaking to both sides, Verizon and Apple to get answers. Verizon puts their wall up at data usage. It doesn't matter how it is being used, you simply need to pay for it. Yes, the evidence I have gathered is getting closer to someting on Verizon's end.
Before pressing in that direction, I am hoping someone reading this may recognize this issue as a possible iPhone 5 issue ... OR ... you, right now, go look at your data usage logs available through your carrier's web account, and see if you can pick out a pattern of mysterious use. Look especially at the early morning instances when you are most likely sleeping.
I am hoping this is a simple issue that has a quick resolution. I'm looking for the "ooohhh, I see that now ..." But I am starting to think this might be much bigger, but the fact is, most customers rarely or never look at their data usage details, much less discover mysterious use patterns.
The final interesting (maybe frightening part) thing about all this is that I discovered while talking to Verizon ... they do not divulge which direction the data is going. This goes for any use, mysterious or legitimate. Is cellular data coming to your phone, or leaving it? Is something pulling data from your phone? We know that it is possible to build malware apps, but the catch with my issue is that it is also happening on a brand new iphone 5s with nothing downloaded to it.
Thanks for your time

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

IOS 8 High Cellular Data Usage

Upgraded my wife's iPhone 5 32GB to IOS 8 yesterday. About an hour after I upgraded she got an SMS from her provider saying she only had 100MB left of her data package. About a minute later she got another SMS to say it ran out. I reset Cellular Usage Statistics and bought another 250MB data bundle.
About 2 hours later she got another SMS saying she had again used up all data and that out of bundle rates apply, when I checked Data Usage it had used 297MB. She did not use the phone at all during this time.
I have disabled everything under Use Cellular Data For: long ago, except Contacts, Find iPhone, Maps, IMDB, Mail, Settings, Weather and WhatsApp.
None of these Apps had excessive usage under them, some a few KB. System Services had used 404KB.
Personal Hotspot was Off.
Everything in iCloud except for Find My iPhone is off. iCloud is signed in.
Use Cellular Data is off under iTunes & App Store
I have gone through all the Apps at the bottom of Settings and none of them have Cellular Data active.
iTunes Radio under Music is not set to use Cellular.
Is there anywhere else I can check what would be using so much data, have turned Cellular Data off for now?
I am at a loss, I upgraded my iPhone 5 16GB the same way as my wife's and I have not used any extra data, sitting at 247MB since September 1st.
My wife's phone has not changed since before the upgrade, so all settings were the same and it has never used this much data.
Any help would be appreciated.

After upgrading to the new IOS8, I noticed that my data plan just skyrocketed, and started getting those annoying text messages from AT&T about how I was eating the data like crazy, it went from 600MB to 900MB like in 15 minutes, and of course that I was getting charge $20 for it. After my second attempt trying to get an answer from AT&T I was told that the new IOS8 will open the gates to all your data (GPS, service location, etc) and received some tips on how to prevent that, try these options, I just did it myself, but not been able to pinpoint if this will stop, anyway I thought to share this info:
1) Settings>General>iCloud>Documents & Data... Scroll down and have the customer turn off Use¿Cellular Data
2) Settings>iTunes & App Store> Scroll down to AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS and have the customer turn off MUSIC, APPS, UPDATES
3) Settings>General>Background App Refresh (turn off any apps that the customer doesn't want to automatically refresh with their information)
4) Settings>Privacy>Location Services (the customer will see all the apps that have the GPS enabled(Everything should be turned off except Setting Time Zone)
I hope this helps
Good luck

5C users Watch your cellular data usage!!

This needs to be brought up just a friendly heads-up in the 5c forum, as there are already long-running threads on this topic in the iPhone 5 forum.
I have owned a 5c for a week now, and have it activated along side my wifes 4s under our 2G shared data plan. So far in that time 5c has used 3~4x the amount of cellular data, despite my wife using her 4s FAR more frequently (for apps) than I do on my 5c.
I have managed to throttle my data usage with now a better understanding of the following:
-Apps will use cellular data, even while connected to a wifi network. So merging onto a wifi DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY PRIORITIZE it over the Verizon cellular data network.
-Closing out the app when finished does not stop it from using cellular data. Many apps will still siphon cellular data, even though they are closed.... WITHOUT THE USER KNOWING IT. Pay close attention to, and turn off cellular usage for those apps that don't need it. Note you may have to manually re-activate cellular usage for the app when you use it outside wifi coverage. This is a royal pain in the you know what.
-Deactivate notification center... or deactivate those parts of it you don't really need. Personally I don't need any of it so I have it completely turned off.
-Turn off the "Background app Refresh" function.
-Turn off "Location Services"
-In the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" section turn off the Push function under "Fetch new data". I have mine set to manual.
-Turn off LTE function. The LTE part of the network is not even available to me where I live. I found my phone was RAMPANTLY gobbling up cell data 24/7 and all hours of the night. That data siphon stopped immediately when I turned off LTE. Yes you are in essence using a slower cell network, but for me that doesn't matter since I am under a wifi network 99% of the time. If I ever do need a fast cellular network I will have to manually turn on LTE.
As a final note, this is a SIGNIFICANT difference between the 4s and 5/5c/5s... and should be taken as a warning to anyone wanting to upgrade from the 4s to any of the "5" models. My wifes 4s (on the latest iOS) does not require any of the actions above. Even with REGULAR use of her DOZENS of apps, her monthly data usage on the 4s has never exceeded ~1G over the past 2 years. She never even turns them off, they are always open and minimized on her screen-top.
So in summary, turning off LTE has made a significant difference in my data usage (shown in kb), as shown below.

I am not sure about that, and even then I don't know if I would 100% blindly trust that. Verizon will send you txrt messages when you approach your data ceiling for each billing period. I downloaded the Nutec data monitor app. I use it as a "polygraph" of sort to manually monitor data at the source (phone). It has alerts set up for 50, 80, 100% warnings.

Cellular/data usage while connected to Wi-Fi with iPhone 5

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 and when I view my usage details for data I am seeing small amounts of data use even while my phone is connected to Wi-Fi and charging. I did not see this with my iPhone 4.
The usage is small and I'm guesstimating adds up to 20-30MB per month, but wondering if this is normal.
My iPhone 4 was running iOS 5.1.1 and the iPhone 5 is running iOS 6.0.2 and Verizon 13.3.
I'm not if this is considered normal as I've read about the recent bug that was allowing a lot of data to leak while on Wi-Fi. Supposedly iOS 6.0.2 and Verizon 13.1 fixed this issue. Others have posted that a replacement phone fixed the issue.
The small data use seems to be about 30-90kb every couple of hours. Again, I never saw this with the iPhone 4.
Do others see this small data usage while on Wi-Fi?
Thanks!
David

Hmmm, I don't think that's the case. As I said, I can keep perfect track of wi-fi and 3G usage with the DataMan app. While I'm connected via wi-fi, there's a 90-10 ratio between wi-fi and 3G. There's a lot of wi-fi usage, meaning it is connected, at least, most of the time.
Maybe an alternative answer to my question, based on your reply, would be the fact that the connection might be dropped SOMETIMES, but not FOR GOOD, when the phone is locked. I would like to understand this behaviour better - why it is dropped? It really makes little sense to drop the wi-fi connection if it is known that it is much stabler, faster AND it costs me zero to use data with it.
I don't wanna spend my 3G data, that's why we keep looking for wi-fi connections everywhere we go, right?
