Turning OFF 3G for iPhone 5?
I have just picked up my new iPhone 5 but since turning it on I have noticed that my 3G is permanently ON and I want to be able to turn it on and off as I please as I used to when using my iPhone 4.
I have been through all of the settings and whereas this used to be in General - Network - Enable 3G and you could toggle on and off......this doesn't appear to be the case for the iPhone 5.
Help!
Thanks
Jon
Hi new to iphones. The iphone 5 is my first one and I too was wondering about the 3g. I have quite a small data package with plan so dont want to be using it up when not in a wifi zone. I think i have found the solution...
If you want to turn off the 3g data package ie dont be using up your limit
go to: SETTINGS-GENERAL-CELLULAR-CELLULAR DATA- SELECT OFF
I think the above turns off 3g for using the internet and data but still uses it for calls etc
To turn off 3g completely
go to: SETTINGS-GENERAL-CELLULAR-ENABLE 3G-SELECT OFF
Hope this helps people

Is there a way to turn on/off 3G for iPhone 4S with a voice command and/or without Siri?
For example, I almost always have 3G turned off on my iPhone 4S so that I won't use any of my cellular data when not needed. However, when I'm driving, and I need to use Maps for directions, it would be nice to unlock the iPhone by voicing my PIN and using a voice command to turn on 3G and accessing Maps.
Is there already a way to do this? I know that accessing applications via Siri will be capable when iOS 6 is released.
Voice Control should also be set to the default voice-command option when Siri is either off or when the iPhone does not currently have access to the internet. Because Siri requires the internet, Voice Control could be used to unlock the iPhone and turn on 3G. Once 3G is turned on, Siri can take over (if Siri is turned on in Settings) to access an application, like Maps. When finished, there should be a voice command that will "turn off 3G."
So, here's how the whole process could work:
1) hold Home button to access Voice Control and respond with PIN to unlock the iPhone - "one, two, three, four" or "twelve, thirty-four" for PIN 1234 (I'm not sure if people would want to say, "one thousand, two-hundred, thirty-four")
2) once unlocked, it should intuitively stay on Voice Control so the user can say "turn on 3G"
3) if Siri is enabled, it will take over Voice Control; if Siri is disabled, Voice Control will remain active, bu you should also have the voice-command option to "turn on Siri" (now that 3G is on)
4) a voice command to "launch Maps" - I know that this will capable with iOS 6
5) when done, hold Home button and voice a command to "turn off 3G" via Siri
Could this feature please be integrated into iOS 6?
In terms of driving and accessing Maps, this would be a lot safer and a lot easier.
Thanks!Tell Apple:

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.
Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other. -

How do I turn off icloud for my music in iphone?
how do I turn off icloud for my music in iphone?
What exactly do you mean here...there's really nothing to turn on/off. Your purchased music is simply available for download, directly on your device, if not already on your device. If you don't want to download it, then don't.

I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?
I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!
Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way - we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.

Turn off Find my iPhone for previous owner?
I purchased my iPhone on eBay from someone selling theirs a week ago. Today I received a message from them, asking that I turn off "Find my iPhone" for an hour so he can switch his iTunes account. Has anyone heard of this before?
I suggested that he log into his iTunes account to remove it from his account, but his reply was that Apple support told him to do this.
Is there any possible harm that can come from me turning this setting off for an hour?DON'T DO IT. Assuming that the phone is not still locked to his account, there is no possible reason that you would have to log out of your Apple ID for him to do anything for his.

I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia. I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone? I still have to put my passcode in.
What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode

5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

How to turn off find my iphone without knowing icloud password
I just bought an Iphone 6+.
Backed up data and settings from old Iphone 5 onto Itunes and used Restore on new Iphone 6+ but contacts from old phone did not appear on new phone.
Tried backing up data from old Iphone 5 again onto Itunes. However, when I tried to Restore again on Iphone 6+, I got a message saying I need to turn off Find my Iphone. Unfortunately, Iphone requires Icloud password in order to turn off Find my Iphone feature and I am locked out of Icloud due to too many failed attempts. I also cannot use the Icloud account associated with the old Iphone 5 as I cannot remember the answers to the security questions and I do not think I entered an alternate email address.
Anyway, short of wiping my new Iphone 6+, is there any way of turning off the Find My Iphone feature without keying in a icloud password?
On another note, I tried erasing all data and settings but could not because I had to key in a Restrictions passcode and I do not even know how a Restrictions passcode even got into my new Iphone 6+!. 1 way I am trying now is to key in my normal passcode wrongly more than 10x so that whole phone will be wiped but I am now at the stage where I have to wait 1 hr before entering another wrong passcode.
If anyone knows how to contact Apple so that I can ask them to reactivate my icloud account so that I can try some more passwords, that would be helpful.Try this support document for information on how to contact Apple and account security.

My iPhone 4 screen stopped working. The phone is still on but the screen is not working at all, it is juts black. I was told restoring my phone might solve this problem so i plugged it into iTunes. When I click on the restore iPhone button a message popped up saying I needed to turn off 'find my iPhone' in phone settings for the restore to be go ahead. Problem is I cant access my phone!
I went onto my cloud account to see if i could do it from here but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.
