Phone data usage info vs ATT data usage info

I have a 200 MB data plan so I watch very carefully my data usage. The problem I have is that I get different information depending on where I look. I have 3 different sources:
- iPhone seetings -> Cellular data usage: 6 MB sent / 45 MB received
- AT&T's website (myATT): ~36 MB of data used
- Data Usage Pro app (from the AppStore): ~36 MB of data used
Which one is the most reliable? Obviously the last 2 sources match, but then why do I get a much higher amount when I look in the phone settings? I got the phone (iPhone 4s) about 1 week ago, with a new AT&T line, so I assume everything was reset when I started to use it...
What source should I trust? Why so much difference?
Thanks for any tips!

items downloaded on your computer internet connection will not affect the usage on your iphone data plan.  howver if the applications you downloded have an online componant then that would affect your data plan.

    If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.

  • HT1386 I was connected to my desktop to upload pictures but I tune activated and sucked up all my phone data and notes. I don't have I tune account, how can i get back those data??

    My I phone was connected to my desktop to upload pictures, magically I tune activated and synced all my phone data and notes. I don't have Itune account.

    This happened because you had not disabled automatic syncing in iTunes (so your phone synced when you connected it to your computer).  If you haven't synced again since this happened you may be able to restore your phone to the backup created at the beginning of the sync process to recover your data.  (If you have synced again the backup is already overwritten and your data is lost).  To do this do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Now connect your phone and import your photos if you haven't already done so (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).
    Now open iTunes and right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchases to your iTunes library prior to restore from backup).
    Right-click on the name of your phone again and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

  • How do I backup up my i-phone data?

    Hey,
    Where do I find my i-phone data on my computer to back it up on a storage drive?
    I am using a 12" G4 Powerbook laptop with the old silver keys that don't light up running OS 10.4.1.
    Thanks!

    Yes, contacts and calendars are not in the backup file; they are in whatever application data files you sync with (Outlook, Entourage, iCal and Mac address book).
    Also, music, videos, etc. (iPod files) are in the iTunes library.
    I've been looking for the location of the photos and other data and haven't found it yet. Logically it should be in the iTunes folder, but I haven't found it there and I'd really like to know for sure.

    i recently upgraded my OS, all my data is backed up on my laptop, to restore the data i need  to enter the password to my phone data backup, which i forgot, is there anyway i could get back?

    No. If there was a way of getting hold of the password, it wouldn't be much of a security system, would it?  The backup is lost if you can't remember.

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

    You need to restore from your backup and not your wife's. You need to check if your backup is under the same or different apple id. If Id is the same you need to erase phone and find correct backup to restore from. If different you just need to use it at restore time.

  • Ovi Suite does not retreive phone data after conne...

    Dear members,
    Im using Nokia 5230 and i tried connecting my phone with Nokia PC suite and Ovi suite. Im successful with PC suite and Im able to access everything. But in Ovi suite, the mobile is being detected and shows my mobile model in the connected devices but still the phone data are not retrieved. It shows a processing icon below the device name which can be seen from the file I have attached here and it does not show any of my phone data i.e. Contacts, messages, photos, etc. I tried the solutions posted in a similar topic ("Ovi Suite + 5230 USB not working")  but I could not find a way. Kindly give me a solution so that I can use Ovi Suite effectively.

    I am having the same problem--Nokia 5230 to ovi suite 3.00.290, but i do not have PC suite. My OP is WIN 7 32bit on a msi U100 Netbook. When i fired it all up 2 days ago it transfered all my old e-mails to ovi suite but all the e-mails sent yesterday (Saturday-april 23,2011) and today (Sunday april 24,2011) Do not transfer. Also i noticed that on saturday evening (april 23,2011) when i shut down there was 79 UPDATES! that downloaded!--this could be the clown in the wood pile! No sync transfer since then. We need this fixed--Thank You.

    I have 2 phones saved on iCloud storage, one is old phone and other is my new one. How do I restore my old phone data from iCloud storage to my new one?
    It shows like 4.3GB is stored on my old and 105.9MB on my new. I want to restore the 4.3 to my new, how do I do that please?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
    Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this.
