System services is hogging data

On my iPhone 5 over the past couple of years I've had iOS 6, 7 and now iOS8 but for the past 3 or 4 days I've seen an incredible amount of data being used by system services under cellular in settings. If I click System services I see that the culprit is iTunes accounts which I'm not even sure what it is linked to.
Today, I was disconnected from wifi for just about ten seconds and saw that iTunes accounts went from 200kb of data to 16MB:eek:
Granted, all the settings have been the same I had before experiencing this. i.e. no automatic downloads or updates and no iCloud without wifi
Anyone has any suggestion to fix this? Please, I am at a loss here

  • "iTunes Accounts" System Service just used 1.1 GB of cellular data in 14 hours!

    Ttitle sums it up. 14 hours ago I activated my new iPhone 6 on T-Mobile, porting my number from AT&T. In this time, even though my phone has been on WiFi for over half of it, the "iTunes Accounts" System Service (Settings>Cellular>System Services) has used 1.1 GB of data. As far as I can tell, after searching extensively, this appears to be a record. Something is broken here, no?
    On my 5S (or 5, or 4S, or 4, or 3GS, etc... you get the idea) I averaged less than 1 GB of total cellular data usage per month.
    Anyone have any clue what's going on here?

    Following up... My carrier confirmed that this usage occurred within a 3 hour window, so it's even worse.
    I spoke with a Senior Advisor at Apple. You could literally hear the guy shuffling papers and mashing his keyboard. He had no clue what the iTunes Accounts system service actually is. He guessed at about 5 different things that are iTunes related (like Match - which I haven't used since switching phones), but none of his guesses could explain why 1.1 GB of data would be used in 3 hours. 1.1 GB would be like playing music off of Match for around 19 hours straight (assuming 128 Kb/s).
    I had to have been the victim of some sort of server side error on Apple's part. Something that probably only takes a few MBs to resolve, like my Match database (names of artists, albums, etc), probably got pushed a few hundred times. I can't think of any other explanation.
    Still open to ideas and hoping this isn't a every day occurrence.

  • MY phone is using large amounts of data, when i then go to system services, it s my mapping services thats causing it. what are mapping services and how do i swithch them off. i really need help.

    I Have the same problem, I switched off location services, maps in data, whatever else maps could be involved in nd then just last nite it chewed 100mb... I'm also on vodacom so I'm seeing a pattern here somehow. Siri was switched on however so I switched it off now nd will see what happens. but I'm gonna go into both apple and vodacom this afternoon because this must be sorted out its a serious issue we have on our hands and some uproar needs to be made against those responsible!

  • TS3694 When trying to download itunes onto my PC I get this message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Veryify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    ON my PC, I attempted to download the update to itunes. It gave me an error message that I wasn't able to do that (and I don't recall the exact words) but telling me to delete the old itunes and download the new update, so I did. But now when I try to update the new itunes, I keep getting this message: Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services! It won't allow me to go any further! How do I fix this? What is the problem?

  • Getting an error message when trying to reinstall iTunes - 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services.

    After a recent iTunes update my iTunes failed to start. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again, but during installation an error message pops up saying: 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services. The three option buttons which can be clicked are 'Abort', 'Retry' and 'Ignore'. I tried pressing ignore, which allowed iTunes to install. However, it seemed that not all parts off the programme installed, as it wouldn't allow me to open iTunes again. Whenever I press retry it just makes the same message pop up again. How can I show that I have 'sufficient privileges'?

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

    Hi!
    So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same  "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
    Tings I have done:
    - Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
    - Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
    - Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
    - Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
    Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

  • How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

    How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

    FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this.  I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether.  I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed.  For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

  • Problem while calling a web service in BOBJ Data services

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to call a web service in bobj data services. A real time job has been scheduled and published as a web service. I want to consume this service in web dynpro java.
    I tried both the methods the adaptive web services and depricated version. I also tried calling the url directly and with the metadata and execution destinations.
    No matter what I do, I keep getting the following error.
    Exception on execution of web service with WSDL URL 'http://XXXXX:28080/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.0&wsdl' with operation 'SERVICE_<NAME>' in interface 'Real-time_Services'
    The call never reaches data services system.  If I try to call the service from soapUI (web service testing tool) it works fine.
    I am using SAP NW 7.0 SP22 .
    Here is my code in dynpro to call the service.
         AdaptiveModel mod = new AdaptiveModel();
         Request_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP request = new Request_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP(mod);
         Query1 query1 = new Query1(mod);
         Response_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP response = new Response_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP(mod);
         request.setQuery(query1);
         request.setResponse(response);
         List list = new ArrayList();
         DefinitionsTypes_XsdSchema_1__XsdElement_1__XsdComplexType_Sequence1 element = new DefinitionsTypes_XsdSchema_1__XsdElement_1__XsdComplexType_Sequence1(mod);
         element.setCustomer_Name(wdContext.currentContextElement().getCustomerName());
         element.setZip_Code(wdContext.currentContextElement().getZipcode());
         element.setAddr1("");
         element.setAddr2("");
         element.setCity("");
         element.setCountry("");
         element.setState("");
         list.add(element);
         query1.set$002fDefinitions$002fTypes$002fXsdSchema$005b1$005d$002fXsdElement$005b1$005d$002fXsdComplexType$0023Sequence1(list);
         wdContext.nodeRequest_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP().bind(request);
          wdContext.currentRequest_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUPElement().modelObject().execute();
          wdContext.nodeResponse().invalidate();
          wdContext.nodeQueryResponse().invalidate();
          wdContext.nodeSequenceResponse().invalidate();
    Please let me know if you have any pointers on how to solve this.
    Thanks in advance
    Praveen.

    have you create the destination?
    do  you use the wizard to generate code?
    usually there is catch clause for this line of code
