Wishlist:: iPhone and iTunes without WIFI

Is there a wishlist for the iPhone?
I was in HMV (record shop in the UK) yesterday and looking at the albums, I picked up my iPhone to see price comparisons between the shop and iTunes but there wasn't any WIFI, an whole iTunes store was disabled!
I know that downloading albums using 3G is a silly idea, but what I would like to see is a least to be able to browse the store via 3G, searching for songs and albums - when it comes to purchasing there should be a "add to wishlist" or "buy later" button so when the phone is within WIFI coverage or docked you can purchase the tagged songs/albums.
As it happens, I bought the album from HMV in the end as I wasn't sure if iTunes stocked it. When I got home I found out that Apple iTunes did stock it, so Apple lost a £7.99 sale and it cost me £1 more in the shop - we all lost.
Apple iTunes store on the iPhone is a "impulse buy" tool - so come on Apple make it more available!!

I just tried this on my new iPhone for the first time, and I was baffled. I mean I have a 3G phone, and can go to the app store directly from my phone data connection. I thought something was wrong with my data connection on the phone until I realized that you can only use the iTunes store in a Wifi area. That makes no sense to me!

  • I actualize the iPhone and left without wifi, I need a solution as it worked perfectly before upgrading.

    update the iPhone and left without wifi, I need a solution as it worked perfectly before upgrading.

    Have you check the following?
    Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
    Ensure that your device is using the latest software.
    If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTune

    Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • Using iPhone and iTunes on new computer: synch without losing music, etc.

    I had to purchase a new computer (Gateway) as laptop crashed. I downloaded iTunes but can't synch as I get the message my phone can only synch to one iTunes library (the one on my laptop); if I want it to synch it will erase everything currently on my phone. How do I make the new computer the primary one for my iPhone and synch without everything being erased from my phone (music, pictures biggest concern). Thanks.

  • Syncing iphone and itunes

    I recently purchased a macbook pro because my old macbook crashed. I was unable to back up my itunes on my old computer before it crashed. Is there anyway of transferring my old itunes library that is on my iphone (especially music that I did not purchase on my iphone and applications I did not purchase on my iphone) from my iphone to itunes without loosing everything?

    iphone will sync with ONE computer at a time.
    When you sync to another, it will first erase the pics and itunes content, then replace with content from the new computer.
    Backup is not something you do when your computer is failing. You should always maintain a backup as computer do not always announce their pending failure.
    You can transfer itunes purchases:
    File>Transfer Purchases

    How do I sync my iphone with itunes without losing everything on my phone?

    Normally, you should be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes without losing anything
    What can happen is that you might have emptied your iTunes library for any reason such as a system restore
    If this is the case, you first need to Import iPhone library to iTunes and then, you'll be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes with no problem

    Hi Expert, Can anyone suggest how can I update backup of iPhone at iCloud without wifi? Wifi stopped working on my 4s after upgrade to iOS7. I have iTune backup but want to update at iCloud. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

  • I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?

    I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?

    @Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
    BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
    Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

  • Why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk?

    why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk when other networks can?

    Hardware requirements of the iphone 4 do not meet the specifications needed for FaceTime over cellular data.
    4S and up do not require wifi for FaceTime.
    this is exactly as intended.

  • Does anyone know how to upload email contacts on my iPhone from iTunes without loosing the phone contacts previously transfered from my older phone??

    Does anyone know how to upload email contacts on my iPhone from iTunes without loosing the phone contacts previously transfered from my older phone??

    Good Afternoon irish357,
    I know the importance of saving and updating your contacts. What type of phone do you have? If you are using Backup Assistant, you have the ability to sync the contacts between your laptop and phone. You will also be able to see if all your contacts are stored on the online portion of the application versus the phone itself. The contacts should be the same for both online and the phone.
    I have attached a link below for your reference.

    I hope this information is helpful in resolving your concerns.

  • How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

    Hello,
    How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
    I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
    I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

    On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
    Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one?

How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one (when I have no password and the security questions aren't working?)

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.
