Use Cellular Data to playback podcast

I download all my podcasts over wi-fi at home.  When I try and play them back I get a message asking me "Use Cellular Data - Would you like to temporarily turn on Cellular Data in order to play back this streaming episode?"  The only option to play the podcast is "Turn On", regardless of whether there is a wi-fi connection or not.  In Settings/Podcasts I've set Use Cellular Data to OFF. 
Why if the podcast is already donwloaded would cellular data be required to playback a streaming episode - there's no need to stream if its already downloaded.
This has never been a problem before but has been the case ever since I used ceelular to download a podcast on the bus as a once-off.  Podcasts Version is 1.2.1 (331)

Are you just syncing content? Or are you doing an update on the phone?
Syncing content doesn't use any data; not sure if updating a phone requires it to communicate with Apple's servers afterwards so that may use data.

  • "use cellular data for" apps keep turning back on

    ie. go in, slide bar from green to off for facetime, youtube, etc...go out of Cellular, back in, and those apps show green for "use cellular data for". 
    At first I thought it was an issue with some versions of Angry Birds, as they don't all do this.  Then realized facetime, youtube, facebook, etc.. all do this.
    Works fine on two other iphones.   Running latest ios on 4S
    The fact it doesn't do it for all apps is what I find is strange.  Thought at first it was an issue with Rovio apps, but then realized even facetime does this.
    Thanks

    I'd like to know why there is not solution to this.  I think I'll just remove all those apps that are turning their 'use cellular' data back on.  I only cared because when my kid plays angry birds, my cellular data was being used for videos.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to remove apps or get a new data plan.

  • I have an iPhone 4s, and I reset the content and setting. It turned on, I chose English, Australia, and now, I am unable to connect/activate my iPhone through Wi-Fi, and for an unknown reason, it will not allow me to use cellular data or iTunes.

I'm not sure of what to do. It's quite frustrating, and all I need is advice, and help. I would much appreciate it. Thank-you.

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

  • "Use cellular data for" is only showing a few apps

    Hello,
    I just got a new 5S.  I have installed and used maybe 15 or so apps, but when I go to
    Settings -> Cellular -> "Use cellular data for"
    it only shows 5 apps: Calendar, FaceTime, Find iPhone, Passbook, & Skype.
    I would like to see all the apps so that I can control what is using cellular data.  When I read other posts online, it seems like this should show all apps.  Does anybody have any idea why I only see a few apps here or what I can do to display all apps?
    Thanks for any help!

  • On iPhone 5c iOS 8.2, I go to settings, cellular, use cellular data for: Under "use cell data for are my apps but they are greyed out how can I ungrey them??

    iOS 8.2 on iPhone 5c, goto settings, cellular, use cellular data for: all my apps under "use cellular data for" are greyed out. I've restart and hard reset. Looked thru all settings. Can someone help??

    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?

  • HT1688 iPhone 5S, Settings Cellular Use Cellular Data For Apps - Not Updating

    I have iPhone 5S iOS 7.0.4 with AT&T Contractual Plan.
    When I change any settings in Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For to disable or enable apps to use cellular data. And, if I exit and enter again it shows the old settings.
    Also Call Time > Current Period is not updating.
    This is happening for last one week. I have also noticed heavy cellular data usage for last one week.
    I have reset the phone as a new phone this it is solved, but if I restore from my backup, then the problem is returning again. Even I have deleted some apps, but it doesnot help.
    Please help me to solve this.

    Call AT&T - it seems they are forcing their own settings on you.

    ... although I found what appears to be an error in the article:

    Thanks - but no luck there either. I believe they're referring to "Notification Center".

  • Hi I  newly started using Iphone 6, I am not getting all the applications list under Use Cellular date for to restrict my unwanted apps on cellular data

    Hi I  newly started using Iphone 6, I am not getting all the applications list under Use Cellular date for to restrict my unwanted apps on cellular data
    Please help me out

    Hi Rajesh778484,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that some of your applications are not appearing under Settings > Cellular on your iPhone so that you can restrict or allow use of cellular data. If you have some installed applications on your iPhone that are not showing here, the first troubleshooting step I would suggest would be to reset your iPhone. Please refer to the attached article for information on how to perform a reset. 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Apps missing from use cellular data list in iphone 6

    So I got the new iPhone 6...and half of my apps are missing from the "use cellular data" list...those that are missing won't load when I try to open them...they just flash and shut down.  I've tried turning off wifi...I've tried resetting the phone...nothing works.  What's the point of the phone if you can't use the freaking apps when you aren't connected to wifi??  Anyone else having this problem?? Anyone know how to fix it??

  • After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know

    Phone Model and OS
    Model - iphone 5
    IOS 8.0.2
    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.

  • 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).

  • What happens if I switch off the "Use Cellular Data for Facetime"?

    So I got a notice saying that my phone's storage was almost full which makes no sense to me because I barely have about 300 pictures on my phone, barely any apps, but I do have music. I have mail turned OFF, and I am always on WIFI. I don't know how this is a problem.
    So what would happen if I pressed the switch off button for the "Use Cellular Data for: facetime"?
    I use facetime A LOT with my friends WHILE ON WIFI but if this is causing my storage to go so full, I will do it.
    Please heLP!

    Using cellular data has nothing to do with the storage capacity on your phone. By turning it off you will only be able to FaceTime when your connected to wifi, thus saving you on your data plan if you do not have unlimited data from your carrier.
    You can go to settings > usage to view what is filling up the capacity of your phone. You should import and back up your pictures to your computer following the directions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

    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.
