Siri can't find music unless I enable use cellular data for Music

I have an iPhone 4S with the latest IOS. I ask Siri to play music but "she" can't find it unless I "enable" Use Cellular Data for Music.
As soon as I enabled this setting in the Settings -> Cellular section Siri could find and play the music.
I certainly don't understand why this is happening. Why isn't Siri able to just find what is local to my iPhone and play the music.
Can someone enlighten me on why this would happen?

Hi Chris,
Songs are on the iPhone - there is no cloud symbol (I'm familiar with that as well).
I've updated my signature - I am running the latest OSX and IOS (thanks for reminding me).

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

Hi
I have updated my iphone 4s, with the new iso7. Now i can't find how to switch on the cellular data, please help!! Can't find the option in Settings

Settings>cellular>cellular data

Why my apps can't be disable on USE CELLULAR DATA FOR under Cellular settings

I came across an issue that my apps tend to stay on ( enable ) even when I disabled it manually, it will turn back on soon after, this can cause certain people data overage and extra data cost they did not expect. I always check my settings daily because I play with my phone numerous times a day so I noticed any changes or differences. So after I had done probably most people have tried, reset/restart the phone, check any latest OS updates, double check any settings, reset network settings, turn off and on data, turn on and off airplane mode, the conclusion is nothing. So I thought maybe i should try one app that I know kept turning back on when I disabled it, did the updates on the appstore, went back to the settings and I was able to turn on and off, tried the second app just to make sure my assumption works, updated the newest version on appstore, it works. So I decided to update all of the apps, then the problem is FIXED ! I hope this solve people's issue. Now I am able to manually disable and enable any app under USE CELLULAR DATA FOR,It was lucky guess for me and it work.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

Problem Description
After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if we disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know.
Steps:
1. Enable Cellular Data
2. Disable mail on "use cellular data for mail
3. check whether mail is received or not
tried multiple times and i am getting more billing amount because of data usage

Mail isn't the only app using data. Turning it off there has no effect whatsoever on whether the rest of iOS or other apps you have installed. In fact most apps use data these days, at a minimum for Notifications and often for gameplay and other features.

I got the new iPhone 5C. In my cellular settings, under "Use cellular data for", it only show passbook and facetime. How can I add other apps? Also, my carrier is AT&T

Hello Sophie59
You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

I cannot find all my installed apps on the "use cellular data for" tab on the settings menu.

I have a new iphone 5s and on the first day I've received it, I updated to IOS 8.0.2.
Today, I've decided to turn my cellular data on and, in order to consume less data, I thought I would disable some of the apps. However, only a few were available/visible on the "use cellular data for" tab. However, when, with the cellular data turned on, I opened a missing app on the phone, it would start to appear on the list (where it wasn't previously). Also, when I go to the app on the settings menu, it would not have shown the option, "use cellular data" before I've opened the app and now it does. Do I need to turn on every single app before I can select my cellular data preferences? I know people with the same phone and their apps appear all, as expected.
I don't know if this is a problem of my own carrier but I don't think so, because the people I mentioned earlier have the same carrier.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data: ON

Why can't I disable certain apps from using cellular data?

(iPhone 4 on iOS 7.0.4)
I can't seem to turn off the ability for certain apps to use my cellular in the "Cellular" menu. I would usually to go Settings>Cellular and begin turning on/off app from using cellular. But now, I can't turn them off. I would switch them off and turn off cellular, then I would turn the "cellular" option on and the same apps would have their switches on instead of off. They would switch on automatically without my consent.
Before you say that maybe I have "allow changes" or "don't allow changes" on the cellular data use. Even if I had one or the other, the manual changes gets ignored.
I have to have the "cellular restriction use" to allow changes to try to turn off the individual apps that have cellular data on. But the second I leave the sub menu or turn off and then on the cellular data, those same individual apps switch on by them selves.
What am I missing? What is the new changes that isn't allowing me to decided which apps can use cellular data and which can't?
My only guess is that it's a problem based on 7.0.4. I never had this problem before. Sometimes though, I would have "Don't Allow Changes" locked on cellular usage, but some how manage to have the ability to turn them on and off where I shoulded. They should be "greyed" out.

Yes. But you may still be able to download compatible versions. You will have to download the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the App using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad. With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

Use Cellular data for: with 8.1.1 in my iPhone 5, I can only see two options 'FaceTime' and ''Passbook'. Any idea why cannot I see other apps to turn on with cellular data ???

Can not use all apps with cellular data

In Settings/General/Restrictions if you tap on Cellular Data Use there should be 2 options: Allow Changes or Don't Allow Changes. If you don't see these options is that where you see "Cellular data is turned off for 'Setting'?
Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so your administrator may have added an override on this setting.

I have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded to iOS 6. Based on posts regarding battery life after this update, I want my setting for "Use Cellular Data for" iCloud Documents to remain off. However, it keeps turning back on...can I avoid this?

I also wanted to note that this setting goes back to On even if I have not turned off the phone...but it also does this when the phone is turned off and then back on.

I am seeing the exact same thing on iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
Steps to reproduce:
In Settings:General:Celluar, check to be sure the following is off:
iCloud Documents
iTunes
Passbook Updates
Reading List
Check back to the same screen after 5 minutes (while not on Wifi) and iCloud Documents is back on.
It's burning through data like mad.
I know I could kill iCloud on my devices or turn off Cellular data, but neither is a solution.
Apple, are you aware of this? I think most people assume that users just don't know how to turn this off. That's not the case, it's coming back on by itself.

SOLUTION! (NO NEED TO RESET YOUR IPHONE SETTING!)
I have the same issue for the last two weeks. But i have already managed to solve the issue all by myself. When i go to Settings > Cellular > below the tab "use cellular data for:", i turned off some apps which i didnt want to use with cellular data. As soon as i go back to Settings, and then i went back to Cellular, the apps which i had switched off earlier, automatically turned back on.
Here's the solution:
Either you're using wifi or cellular data, first of all you're gonna hafto turn on the cellular data use for App Store. Once you have turned it on, go to App Store application. Update ALL the apps which have new updates available. If it asks you to log in your App Store, just do so. If there's something wrong with your debit or credit card information, it will ask you to update to a different card. Just do what it asks. Put in a new credit or debit card info and fill in the forms provided. The card you're using must be usable and has usable balance in it. Let's say atleast $10 to $20. As soon as it confirms your card successfully, the app updates will start automatically. Continue to update all the apps. After all updates are finished, go back to Settings > Cellular. Try to switch on or off some apps for data use and recheck.
Try it yourself! Have a nice day and don't put a blame on Apple for this.
From Malaysia, with love.
