What exactly should disabling data services do ?

When I disable data services, it completly disconnects my device (BB Curve 9300) from internet - even if WiFi connection is active, no application (Browser, Messages/emails,...) can connect to internet anymore. BIS also stops working (even though it was working over wifi before I disabled data services).
My expectation was disabling Data Services will only disable internet connection/data transfer via mobile network (GPRS, Edge, 3G,...) - the option to disable data services is in "Mobile Network Options" menu. But in reality it disables all data transfers, including WiFi. 
Is this intended behaviour ?

Oops... I was totally wrong about what the Library actually is. I thought it contained stuff that's actually within "Users".
SuperDuper is definitely what I wanted. I was having problems because I was trying to make a "bottom-up" collection of files: compiling all the relevant material, and that leads to all kinds of hidden files and stuff that I don't know to add. SuperDuper does it in a top down way: I can select a script to copy everything, and then adjust the script so the Picture folder is NOT copied. Problem solved, I think. (One page in the SuperDuper manual explains how to do this, but unfortunately my first scan of the manual missed that section!)
I've tried booting from the Picture/Movie/Music less external HD partition, and it works exactly as I wanted: the system's there but there are none of the memory-hogging collections.
Extra bonus is that I've now set this script up to clone the System and Applications components every two weeks.
Note that you CANNOT tailor things this way with the free version of SuperDuper; you have to pay for the license.
What I've got now: 80GB external HD has a 30GB partition with everything cloned (twice a month) EXCEPT for the Pictures, Movies, and Music folders. A 45GB partition currently has the music library (at about 30GB) and will probably collect other backups. And my laptop hard drive (nonpartitioned) now has 40GB of free space, to which in a few days (once I'm sure everything's working smoothly) I'll add about 10GB worth of burnt photo libraries.
I'm still a bit confused about "System" terminology: the System Folder with the OS, vs the System Disk, which I suppose is everything all together. However, that doesn't really matter now.
Thanks for everyone's help.

    I send my iPhone to apple because my standby button doesn´t fit, what exactly should i send to apple? earphones and charging cable too?

    No! All Apple needs is your actual phone. Do not send the box or anything else as they will throw it away and you won't get anything back except for a phone! Do not send the sim card either and make sure you backed it up!

  • What happened to the data service recently?

    I switched to Verizon last summer partially because the data service was so good.  I have an hour drive to work every morning, and I typically listen to internet radio through my phone for at least half the time.  With my previous carrier, the service became so bad that it became too frustrating to listen.  When I switched to Verizon, I had almost no disruptions when listening.  This great service continued until a few months ago.  Since then, the data service is terrible.  The station skips all the time, sounding like a CD with a scratch on it, and it just completely stops to catch up at least 10 times each morning... in 30 minutes!!  Just like the old carrier, it's becoming almost unusable!  What's going on?! Why is the service so bad now! Nothing has changed with my phone (no new phone anyway... I'm sure there have been updates, etc.) or my route, but the service is just aweful!! Please help!!

    I drive from Brimfield, IL (61517) to Bloomington, IL (61704), primarily on Interstate 74.  It appears that I pass through the following zip codes: 61528, 61615, 61604, 61603, 61611, 61550, 61733, 61742, 61729, 61725, 61705, 61761, 61701.
    I rarely make phone calls, but I can't recall experiencing any issues with them.
    Somewhere on these forums, I did see mention of an update resetting the Global Data Roaming Access to "Deny data roaming access" and that switching the setting back to "Allow access for all trip" may help with data issues.  I made that change, but have not seen any noticable improvement.
    Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.

  • What exactly should I clone/ backup for a bootable functional external HD?

    I want to do two things with an external hard drive: 1) in one partition, clone the system & applications part of my computer; 2) in the other partition, keep my NORMALLY USED iTunes Library plus backups of documents and whatever else.
    The question:
    **what should I actually clone to the first partition?**
    Will it work if I just clone the Applications and System folders? Within that partition, I just want the working parts of the system--Tiger and all my applications--and I want that as a bootable clone, but without all the disk-devouring music and photo libraries. (Those are backed up elsewhere.)
    If one day my laptop's HD dies (again!), I want to just plug in the external HD, clone that first partition over, and see everything ready to use, but without the data. Will that work?
    (Background: laptop HD is 80GB and uncomfortably full, mainly because of a 30GB+ music library; external LaCie HD is 80GB. I don't want to clone the complete HD because I want to use the LaCie to boost my functional HD space. Yeah, I should have bought a bigger external HD, oh well.)
    It suddenly occurs to me it's rather pathetic to be writing this on Christmas Day. Oh well. It's not much of an occasion in Taiwan.

  • What exactly is using data and how can i keep it from using data when im not using my phone?

    So i have an iphone 4 and i have used a lot of data this month(like almost 2GB) and i have barely touched my phone outside of wifi areas. I always shut down any apps that use data like youtube, funnypics, facebook, etc. but i do play some games during my breaks at work but they dont require data to play so to my knowledge those games arent using data(or are they?) i just need some help figuring out exactly what on my phone is using data all the time so i can turn it off. Is it icloud? Emails on auto update? Offline game apps(minecraft, sonic dash, the Mr. Series games?) Do all apps use data regardless? Somebody please answer me. And No im not buying a bigger data plan. 2GB is my limit but it seems as though i am hitting that easily with my iphone but the rest of my familyis usually miles away from 2GB and they all have Samsung Galaxy S4s.

    My first stop would be in Settings > Cellular if you are on iOS 7.  This has a lot of goodstuff. you can turn off cellular data as a who, see your current usage and even see which apps have used data and how much.  You can even turn off individual apps form using cellular data (restricting them to wifi only).
    I hope this helps!

  • What EXACTLY uses the data?

    I have an Iphone 4S with 16gb, hubs has Iphone 4 with 8. I need to help him manage his data better cause he is almost to the 2gb limit. This resets every month right? and are the games he is playing using up his data or is it pictures and text? I have not found an answer and have searched this sight until I am dizzy.
    I know that when I plug into the ITunes store online it will show what is using memory on the phone (his 8GB) but...I do not know how to decipher the usage analysis given in the Verizon website.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Lori

    Without knowing what he has installed it's hard to say.
    This that do use data and is known.
    YouTube
    iMessages
    Mail, Contacts, and Notes if you have it to sync without iTunes(using iCloud services)
    ANY app with advertisements, or apps with DRM checkers(DRM check uses a very small amount to actually count)
    downloading apps not on wifi
    Apps like Words with Friends, Scrabble with Friends, or any app that connects to the internet to play(even Multiplayer games unless it uses bluetooth to connect).
    Maps(it caches a 5 mile radius, but if you go beyond that 5 miles it downloads the next 5 miles and deletes the old one IIRC)
    There may be other stuff I don't remember off the top of my head.

  • What can i use Data/Services for?

  • What Exactly should be in the Capture Scratch Folder ?

    I apologize for the moronic question, but.....
    I recently installed a second internal Hard Drive in my computer which
    I was planning to reassign the scratch disc folder to, so that my external
    hard drive which holds all the media / video, would not have to do double
    duty in holding all the render files, etc. as well as the media.
    But in going to do this, I realize I have almost 200gb of video ( in the
    form of quicktime movie files ) already there. So if I move that folder,
    I am not really solving anything, as a large portion of the media is
    already in it.
    Can I with relative painless-ness, set up a new scratch disc on the internal
    drive, or will this just create an avanlanche of media not found headaches
    and the like.
    Again, I apologize for what is clearly something I just did not set-up
    properly 3 years ago. I do not use this program that regularly or else
    there is a chance I might understand it better.
    Thanks for any and all help / suggestions,
    Sterne
    FCP 5.1.4 Older G5 computer.

    I may not be understanding you correctly, but I think you will be ok with what you are doing:
    Main hard drive with the OS and all your applications.
    Second internal hard drive you are adding will contain all the scratch disks and project files.
    For example, on this I have a folder entitled "FCP Docs on HD6" which contain all my scratch disks of Audio Render Files/Autosave Vault/Capture Scratch/Render Files/Thumbnail Cache Files/Waveform Cache Files that I set under FCP preferences. I also have another folder on this hard drive that I have labeled for a client--ex. Smith Project--and in here I keep all the other items for this project--the FCP project itself, any jpegs I'm using, any clips I've made self-contained to do smoothcam on, etc.
    On your external hard drive you can keep what you have done before and not transfer them over to the new FCP Docs folder. The old project will still access those capture scratches from that external drive. (However, if you have now assigned those scratch folders to your new internal drive, when you open this old project and work on it, the NEW captures/renders/etc will be on the NEW scratch disks while what you have done in the past will still remain in the old.) You just have to remember when you are cleaning out your project or saving it to archive that some of your files are on your external.
    You can have different scratch disks on separate hard drives, it just gets confusing if you have too many. FCP will use the scratch disks you LAST assigned. I repeat it gets confusing, just like this explanation probably is

  • What exactly is a "Data Session"?

    I was reading the pricing plan for a product in Aus called Amaysim. It states that they charge a minimum of 1MB per session. They also state that the length of a session is determined by the phone not the network. Is this true? And if so how does iPhone determine a session? Does a session remain open as long as the phone is awake and terminate when it sleeps? Or is each new site I browse, or each different application Internet usage, a new session?

    I can't help but think rufus001 is being misunderstood here.
    On older phones, even with 3G there was never the constant use of a data connection. My old phones would literally warn me that they were going to initiate a WAP connection. With the iPhone though it assumes it can make use of cellular data whenever it wants hence the massive international data bills in the first few months of the iPhone and then the options to turn it off when you're roaming.
    rufus001, I don't have an answer for you but I would suspect that the iPhone is initiating and tearing down data connections on a fairly regular basis rather than keeping a single connection active. If they are rounding up to 1MB I'd think you'd go through your allowance pretty quickly on it if you use the iPhone as it was meant to be used. Email for example - mine polls a single account once every 15 minutes and if that counts as a single session that's 96MB a day according to that document.

  • What exactly does disabling Group Message accomplish?

    I understand that, as of now, there is no way to remove yourself from a group message. However, I have a few questions about disabling group message in settings.
    For instance, a friend sent a few of us a text about another friend. On my iPhone 4, I have group message disabled so my questions are:
    1. If I reply for the person who sent the text, will EVERYONE see that text? Whether it be today or tomorrow? I have a long thread of messages with the original sender and I really don't want to delete the conversation.
    2. If I send a text to someone who was also in the text, not the original sender, will everyone sent the message see my text? I've gotten texts from other people who were added in the conversation but not sure if when I reply to them, is it just THEM or everyone?
    I'm not a fan of group messages and I'm always paranoid responding to people.

    You can only sync the iPhone to 1 itunes library on one computer.
    Erase and sync means just that-it will erase all content on it and sync it to the new computer.
    As for the other stuff-no idea. Sorry, I don't use microsoft stuff.

  • What exactly do the national instrument​s citadel nt service and the lookout citadel nt service run

    We have WhatsUp monitoring software set to monitor NI Lookout and the PC it is on.  It pings the PC, and polls the Lookout Citadel Server NT service.  If either one fails, WhatsUp sends an email notification.  I was under the impression if the Lookout Citadel Server service is down, then NI Lookout won't graph or record data, but that's not the case.  If I shut Lookout Citadel Server or National Instruments Citadel Server down, NI Lookout still graphs and records.  What exactly do these two services run?
    Also, is there a possibility that NI Lookout can be viewed through palm OS software, like a Blackberry?

    Lookout Citadel Server is for Citadel 4, which is used by Lookout 5 and DSC 7.
    NI Citadel is for Citadel 5, used by Lookout 6 and DSC 8.
    If Citadel is stopped, Lookout will start it up automatically when launched. But if Citadel is stopped when Lookout is running, there might be some unexpected issues, although the data logging seems to be working well.
    So I strongely recommend you not to stop those Citadel service when Lookout is running.
    Lookout cannot be running on palm OS.

  • Flex Data Services does not see remote methods in extended ColdFusion component.

    I have created a remote service base component as a AModelService.cfc file. I extend that file to make my ModelService.cfc. When I configure the ColdFusion data service and point to ModelService.cfc and click next, I don't see any remote methods (there are none explicitly defined in the component) in the Service Operations window.
    If I go back and point to AModelServide.cfc, the parent component, and hit next, I see all the remote methods that are defined in the parent component. So, either I am doing something wrong, or Data Services does not look at methods up the cfc prototype chain, which from an OOP standpoint means that instead of say creating one restful base class and being nice and DRY you can't. I.e. not OOP for data services. Is this a bug, or what?
    Anybody get data services to work with extended service components?
    Mark

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did compile all the Java and it
    works OK with a simple Java program. It just will not work in a
    Flex application.
    The java classes are:
    RRA:
    package blah.myPackage;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.Collection;
    import flex.data.DataSyncException;
    import flex.data.assemblers.AbstractAssembler;
    class RRA extends AbstractAssembler
    public Collection fill( List fillParameters )
    RRS service = new RRS();
    return service.getSome();
    RRS:
    package blah.myPackage;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.sql.*;
    import flex.EORS.*;
    class RRS
    public List getSome()
    ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
    String str = "bob";
    RR rr = new RR(str);
    list.add(rr);
    return list;
    RR:
    package blah.myPackage;
    class RR
    private String name;
    public RR() { }
    public RR(String name)
    this.name = name;
    public String getName()
    return this.name;
    public void setName(String name)
    this.name = name;
    I started with something that retrieved data from a database
    but watered it down just to try and get some kind of communication
    between Flex and Java.

  • Would a BW functional developer be able to support data services?

    Hi gurus,
    Our company cannot justify having a full time data services functional developer to support our existing master data address cleanse / address validation process in data services.   There is light work for customizing data services jobs and occasional support work for address validation issues.   We have a full staff of SAP developers in most areas and are looking to train an existing employee to do two roles.  Not being well versed in what is involved with data services support, can you help with what skill set would be a good complement to also learn data services?  Would it be a BW functional developer? ABAP developer?  Basis?  Master Data functional developer?
    Warm Regards,
    CM

    Hello
    In general, the most effective Data Services developers have a 'proper' development background and understand set theory, relational databases, and SQL.
    You'll also need to find someone with an understanding of data quality theory.

  • What exactly is the "Version Name" to be used for?

    Hi -
    I just picked up Aperture and have been trying to figure it out. And to be honest, I'm pretty darn OCD about photo organization - which is one reason Aperture appealed to me more than iPhoto, which I've been using forever.
    So I've literally been going around tagging all 4000 photos I've imported, but I'm wondering what the "Version Name" is supposed to be for. I've been told this is very important for when you create new versions from the master, that they should all be different. However the majority of my photos are just old high school photos and whatnot that I could care less about touching up ever.
    So then what exactly should I do with the "Version Name"? Is this supposed to be a specific name (such as, "dan at the beach, edited", etc) or should I just called them something like "original" or "master"? Does this affect the actual filename? What is the general usage of this?

    it's basically the name of the photo. it's the name/title that will appear in your albums, books, etc. if you have more than one version of a photo, you might use different names to distinguish them; eg, adding 'B&W' for black and white versions, etc.
    many people; myself include; use 'caption' for descriptions.

  • DI Integrator XI and Data Service Designer

    Hi all
    I am playing with DI XI (11.7) now, but very soon we would have Data Service Designer (new version of DI which is called Data Service Designer). I'm just wondering what the difference is between DI Integrator 11.7 and Data Service Designer. The interface and object types are very different and a big surprise for me? Or I might ask what's new in Data Service Designer?
    Thanks for your help.

    You will be very familiar with DataServices Designer. You will find more transforms - the data quality transforms - and a few menu items, flags etc. But really, DataServices is just a name change. For DQ customers things changed a lot.
