Will I be able to keep my unlimited data?

I have been on a family plan for over 10 years and we have unlimited data. Last year I decided to upgrade to the galaxy note 2 even though the rep said I was going to lose my data and be downgraded to 2GB per month. They said that even though my data changed I would still be able to be part of the family plan. After I had gotten the device I discovered that i still have unlimited data and I have confermed this with verizon. My question now is if I want to upgrade to the galaxy note 3 is there any way that I could keep my unlimited? I feel that after having unlimited on the Note 2 that it is definately worth it to pay the full retail price for the device and keep the unlimited then to lose it. I would be willing to stay on or get of the family plan as long as I could get the Note 3 with unlimited data.
Thanks,
Alex

The previous answer did actually miss another option with two variations--many people have had luck to this point in one of two additional ways:
*Add a line to the family plan as a smartphone (2GB/1GB or less plan for data) and pair it with the phone you want (Note 3 in this case)... activate, transfer to the existing line, and remove the data plan on the dummy line. You can populate that line with a dumbphone and have the standard 9.99/mo features that would leverage your family plan (IE--shared minutes, texts, whatever) or you can leave it dead. The overhead (beyond the subsidized cost of the phone) amounts to the $239.76 over two years ($9.99 * 24 mo). Altogether, it's still cheaper than outright purchases by 100.00 to 200.00.
*If you have existing dumbphone (featurephone, non-smartphone) lines that are up for renewal, and are willing to keep them on the same phone they have today, you can do the same as above.
What you can't do is renew your own line--no matter how it's done, you'll lose the feature.

Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

Sprint, definite yes (but moot because 3GS is not a CDMA phone)
Verizon, if you buy at full price $600
At&t, yes but there may be a caveat
Outside the USA, I don't know, we need to know your current Tariffe/plan to help.
Contact your carrier to negotiate any loose ends.

If my wife and I share an iTunes account, will we be able to keep independent app data?

For example, if we both install a To Do List app, will we both be able to keep our own lists?
Is the data tied to the app backed up in our independent iCloud accounts and/or iTunes backups on our separate Macs?

Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account.

If I upgrade to a new device, will I be able to keep my current unlimited data plan?

I've been eligible for an upgrade since July 2011 but I've been waiting to see what Verizon has that really makes me want to change from my Droid X. But so far, that's been nothing. I would like to know, however, when I do decide to upgrade will I be able to keep my unlimited data plan? If so, how?

Talking from personal experience, yes and no. Verizon will allow you to retain your unlimited data plan on some devices, but not others. I went from a Droid X to a Rezound. Before I did the switch, I noticed where they said that the Rezound did not support my plan. I know, it's stupid, but that's the way it went. So I called customer service and they told me that I could keep my unlimited data. However, when I got their receipt notification, I noticed that I was on the 2GB plan for $30. I have a family plan, and made my Droid X the second phone. This retained the unlimited plan. So, I have a Rezound with 2GB and a Droid X with unlimited GB. By the way, I should mention that I swapped out the Rezound, which I did not like, to the LG Spectrum but retained the 2GB data plan and did not go back to unlimited.

If you update correctly yuyr apps wiull not be deleted and you can restore from backup. Just make sure that all theapps are in the library of he computer and that there is a backup of your iPod. Thenupdate and if necessary, restor from backup. Also see:

I heard the iOS 6 will not be available on the iPad 1 , will I be able to keep Google maps?

I heard ios 6 will not be available on iPad 1 ,will I be able to keep Google maps ?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: The Maps application on iOS5 is, as I understand it, a custom front end for Google Maps that was created by Apple. It should continue to function indefinitely, so long as something does not change on the Google side that would prevent it from accessing their servers. Although I qualified the answer, it doesn't seem likely that Google would do such a thing.

I currently have an iPod Touch 4G and am getting an iPad 2 will i be able to keep my original Apple ID or do I have to change it ?

You can backup and sync your Touch at anytime, and after you get the iPad 2 you can set that up and sync with the tunes, etc, that are from the Touch. Be aware that not all apps can sync since there are some apps on the iPhone/iPods that are not available for the iPad series. Any that do not sync will have to downloaded in the iPad format.

I want to get rid of my laptop and use an iPad2. Will I be able to keep my iPhone updated and synced by using the iPad2 like I currently do with the laptop?

No. You must use a computer to sync and update both devices via iTunes on the computer. The iPad2 cannot replace the laptop for syncing purposes.

Can I keep my Unlimited Data if I use my husbands upgrade?

The last phone I bought was the iPhone 5s and at that time I was able to use my husbands upgrade and keep my unlimited data...then he used my upgrade...I am wanting to do the same thing. Do I still have that option and will I be able to preorder over the phone at 12:01am to do it?

That's a good question and the new iPhones are nice hl7272! If you and your husband are on separate accounts, you will be able to activate the new phone on your line, (account), and keep your unlimited data. However, if you're on the same account, you won't be able to do the Alternate Upgrade and keep unlimited data. Even if you're using your husband's upgrade, when the phone is activated on your line, you will need to choose from a current data plan.
Thank you,

When i upgrade, will I have to give up my unlimited data?

Anyone that has been in the same boat.. 1 phone, I have had unlimited data with my past 2 phones. I have been told by others that they make you give up your unlimited data plan if you upgrade your device. Has anyone been able to recently upgrade and keep their unlimited data plan?? I am looking to upgrade next month when my upgrade comes around.

On 6/28/12 Verizon discontinued unlimited data plans with new subsidized phones. You can keep your unlimited data in several ways. They are: keep your existing phone, pay full retail price, buy your phone on Ebay or somewhere such as that. The only way to lose your unlimited data is to sign a new 2-year contract for a Verizon subsidized phone.
If you have an account with multiple lines of service, you can purchase a new subsidized phone on one line and move the phone to your unlimited line. You can also add a line of service, purchase a new subsidized phone, then move the new phone to your unlimited line and put a basic phone on the new line.
There are no guarantees on how long Verizon will allow us to keep our unlimited data plans.

I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first. Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?

That is Apple's statement:
Using iWork with iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Options for iWork customers
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive today if you want to keep your documents up to date in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and you want to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature.
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive later if you want to keep your documents up to date with your apps on iOS 7 or earlier and OS X Mavericks or earlier.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive today
To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows and set up iCloud Drive.
If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows, and iCloud.com.
Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature with iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, and iCloud.com.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive later
Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature. If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.

HT4528 I currently use Verizon and have a Blackberry with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way I can buy an unlocked iphone and keep my unlimited data plan bypassing Verizon's requirement to get a new plan with a 2 year committment?

Is there a way to purchase a new iPhone and to continue my unlimited data plan without having to sign a new 2 year committment and new plan with Verizon?

You don't buy an unlocked phone. You buy a Verizon iPhone at full retail. I just did this myself last month. I paid full retail for the phone and activated it on my plan. This allowed me to get a new phone before I was eligible to upgrade and keep my unlimited data. I also got a good deal on trading in my iPhone 5.
You can buy the phone through Verizon or through Apple. If you buy it through Apple, I'd suggest that you not have them activated but do that yourself by logging into your account on your computer.
Best of luck.

I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

I plan to upgrade to a newer iPad. If I reset my old one will I be able to get all my data on my new one?

I plan to upgrade to a newer iPad. After I reset my old iPad to clear it for sale, will I be able to get my old data to my new iPad? I will be getting a WIFI only iPad. My old one is a 3G/WIFI.

Do not reset the old iPad until you transfer all purchase, backup and sync with iTunes one final time. After you have down all three you can then reset the iPad to factory settings.
I would NOT reset the old iPad until you set up the new one just in case - but that is up to you. Before you reset the iPad ...
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. If you use auto sync just go ahead and let the iPad sync. Before you disconnect the iPad, right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select Transfer Purchases. Let the process complete and then right click on the iPad name again and select Backup. Let the process complete and then sync one last time. Now all of your purchased content should be in iTunes on your computer and all of your data will be in the backup.
When you set up the new iPad you can restore from the backup of the first iPad and resycn all of your content as well.

I want to make a new Apple account separate from my parent's account, will I be able to keep my previously purchased apps from their account if the files are on my computer?

The title says it all. I use my parent's account for my iTunes on my laptop currently, and I would like to make my own Apple account. My question is if I will still be able to use the applications and games that I downloaded [purchased] while using this computer. All of the files for the apps are on this computer, I'm just not sure if I will be able to put them on my iPod [2G] once I make the account.
Thanks in advance

You can't delete an account, only iTunes Support can potentially do so, but you would lose all of the account's purchases if they do so - all downloads are tied to the account that downloaded them, they cannot be transferred to another account.
If you do create a new account then there are instructions on this page of how to do so without giving credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method.
