What activates GPRS on iPhone 4 without me doing anything?

I have been in the UK on a visit for a few weeks on an Orange pay-as-you-go plan and been horrified with lots of little GPRS charges cropping up during the day when I have not been using the phone - no surfing, no emailing. What is responsible for activating the GPRS and costing me money? Orange were no help when I called them and asked.
thanks
Simon

Hard to say, but remember you're using a phone that by design, is meant to ALWAYS have a data connection. That means that any apps, like push & fetch for mail, newsreaders, facebook, etc., will incur data charges. You can turn data completely off in: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off.

What causes my fax to dial out 911 without my doing anything?

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 has dialed 911 twice in the past 6 months without me doing anything other than leaving it plugged into the phone line for faxes. What might be causing this? I did not even use the machine for faxes during that time and the police have knocked on my door stating they received a 911 call from my phone number which is only being used for this fax machine.

Hello,
This is very unusual. Have you printed out a fax confirmation report to verify that the call was indeed made from the fax machine? Is it possible that a speed dial was setup and accidentially initiated?
You can reset the fax machine to factory defaults which will erase any stored information by touching Settings - Tools - Restore Factory Defaults
Thank you
I was an HP employee.
Kudos are appreciated if I have helped you.

What would be causing my mouse to act like it is posessed and move/click without me doing anything?

I am having problems with my mouse. It just starts clicking/moving without me doing anything. What is causing this?

Some have reported this to be caused by a swelling battery...

A folder was deleted without me doing anything.

Good morning.I am the only user of my imac and yesterday i found out that one of my folders, that i was using for my downloads, deleted without me doing anything.How is this possible?Is there a way to see me ''action history'' in order to see what have happened.Thanks in advance.

Here's the releavant section of the iPad User Manual. Hope it helps.

My track pad highlights applications and files and then opens them without my doing anything. I run MacKeeper and having run the scan several times only get cleaning issues (5 -). Any ideas as MacKeeper Kromtech have not responded to my calls nor email.

Folks
I run an iMac. Today for some reason when I run the cursor across the screen applications and files are highlighted and then opened without me doing anything (no clicking etc) In fact print at times opens. As far as I can tell I have not changed any settings except to open firewall.
I run MacKeeper and when I run a scan only a few cleaning items open. Safe and fast are as they should be. I run fix. If I again run the scan I get a few more but different claeing items to fix.
I have rung MacKeeper several times without getting through. The occasion I did get through the bloke said he could not help and passed me to a higher authority. Needless to say the line dropped out after 30 minutes waiting.
As it is the weekend and I do not live near an Apple store I am quite keen to get the problem identified and fixed so I can continue working.
Your assistance please.

Remove the "MacKeeper" scam product as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

Before Mac OS X lion install I had over 50% free hard drive space on new MBP, but now my hard drive is full without me doing anything! How do I fix this??? Or should I just revert to Snow Leopard???

Sounds like the Time Machine Local Backup. Try turning Time Machine Off in System Preferences to verify.
See: OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
But, your real problem is
I forgot to mention that I tried to use Disk Utility to Verify Disk, but it cannot. I get red errors that say the MacHD is corrupt and needs to be repaired. It says that in order to do this I need to use the Disk Utility on the install disk, but Lion doesn't have one!
Boot into Lion's Recovery (Hold ⌘R on Boot), select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click [Repair Disk]

One day i was just flipping through my ipod i put it on sleep mode then next time i opened it without me doing anything it gave me an option of ''slide to power off'' i pressed cancel then it automatically went back to sleep mode it is still happening my ipod is jailbroken and i didnt fiddle with the settings.. please help.

If it is jailbroken, we are not allowed to help you with that here. You'll need to seek out other sources of help. The jailbreaking could potentially be part of the problem, for all I know.
BTW, just a pointer... punctuation is your friend! Your post was very difficult to read without any. Many people will simply stop reading and click the "back" button when encountering something like that, which limits availability of help to you.

Sounds like you activated one of the features of accessibility. Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, turn off Invert colors. Also check under Triple click to see if that is what is selected and you can turn that off as well.

Why or how could firefox change my proxy settings without me doing anything right in the middle of browsing the internet?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
While I was browsing the internet suddenly nothing would happen when I clicked a link. Upon closing and opening firefox and trying to load a web page it said "the proxy server is refusing connection. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections."
I did manage to fix the problem by changing the proxy settings from manual to auto-detect but what disturbs me is how those settings could be changed without me doing so right in the middle of using the internet. I dont know if its a bug or a security issue but I thought I would let you guys know.

Can I activate an unlocked iPhone 6 without a sim card?

My iPhone 4s was stolen in Mexico and according to my find my iPhone app, its offline. I am assuming I will never see it again. I am currently in the USA but am originally from Australia. I will be in the States until mid February. I kind of need a phone and was thinking of just purchasing an unlocked iPhone 6 whilst in the States. A lot of retail stores don't seem to sell unlocked phones, but I see I can purchase one from the apple store. I was just wondering if I purchased an unlocked iPhone 6 from the apple store with no sim card, would I be able to activate it without a sim? I have my old phone backed up on my laptop so I am hoping just to restore it to my new phone. Then I plan to use the phone with no sim until I arrive back home in Australia where I can purchase a sim with my home carrier and transfer my number back. Am I able to do this? I only intend to use my phone when connected to Wi-Fi. Any help is great

I'm not sure if it comes with a carrier. It was given to me by my travel agent but didn't really intend to use it. It says JT - Jersey Telecom (not sure what that means?). I have to activate the sim on a website called www.rechargeminutes.com. But looking at the sim, I am unsure if it would fit in an iPhone 6 because I was reading that they are different sizes?

Can I change the colour of my led flash on my iPhone 4 without paying for anything, and if so how?

I'm trying to see if I can the the colour of my flash when I get a text. I want it to be free but I don't know how. Please help. :)

No.

My data setting has changed without me doing anything.

Can someone explain the following. I'm traveling in Japan and have disabled data on my iPhone 5. However, twice in the past two days I've noticed my home screen to be active despite the phone having been tucked away in my backpack for hours. Suspicious, I've checked my settings and discovered that the data is on and that autolock, normally set to one minute, has tripped to "never". To protect myself I've turned the phone off. Can someone explain what's happening? Having happened twice, it can't be a freak or random "glitch".

If you're not fluent in syncing and restoring I'd stop by the Apple Store and let them have a look at it. Just an idea, if you haven't turned off the noise cancellation turn that off, might as well make sure.
I just remembered a recent post that might be similar.
Weird "chain link" noise in iPhone 5s photos

HT1414 my iphone 4 doesnt turn on, i tried everything and when im restoring my phone in the screen is only the apple logo and in my mac says waiting for iphone but is not doing anything . just waiting and waiting

my iphone 4 doesnt wants to turn on. i tried every step i found to restart it.. and is not working..
i restored it with my mac.. and after that the apple logo is in the screen and in my computer says "waiting for iphone"
but is like that for hours and nothing happen. i really tried everything.. i have the most new version of itunes.. my comp is ok. everything is ok..
i dont know what else to do.. some help?

First, to get the tray open. You need to push harder.
Secondly, Does it have a wall power plug? If the battery is dead, it's won't work. Try to charge it with the wall plug adopter and not through the computer. Some USBs don't put out power so, are you pluging it into a Powered USB?
Try these and let us know.
OH! If you got it wet, you may have ended it. Did you get it wet? You could try putting it in a bag of rice, and hope it works.

My computer keeps switching its internet setting from Airport to Ethernet without me doing anything. How can I fix this??

My computer keeps switching its internet type from "Airport" to "Ethernet." As my computer is not connected to an Ethernet cable, the ethernet does not work, and so I lose internet connection every time it does this. And it does this two or three times a minute (no exaggeration). This means that, by the time I've changed the setting and refreshed my page, the internet type has changed again, and I'm back to square one.
So far, I've tried the following:
-Reordering the list of priorities on the "Network Preferences" page
-Going to the Ethernet "advanced" options and switching everything to either "off" or from "automatically" to "manually"
-Rendering the Ethernet inactive
-Finally, I created a new location with only airport on
Usually, doing these things makes the problem go away for a day or two, and then it just comes back again.
It's not a problem with the internet itself, as this has been an ongoing issue for the past few months, and I've switched locations three times since then.
Does anyone know how to make my computer stay on Airport, and NOT switch to the Ethernet setting all the time?

Hi samanthaspunt,
I would first try these steps:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not help, I would try un-syncing and resyncing the music via this article:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
