I will receive an iPhone 4 in the beginning of next week and if I've understood things correctly I will have to plug it into my Mac and activate the phone with iTunes. When doing this, will it also auto update iOS to the newest version (4.0.2) without asking? If so, can I prevent it?I'm asking because this will be my first iPhone and I want to be able to jailbreak it, jailbreaking iOS 4.0.2 is not possible today as far as I know.
I cannot stand Lollipop, so I returned my phone to Motorola and received one that has KitKat on it. If I can turn off auto-updating of the OS, I will be good to go. I do not want to root the phone as that will mess up my warranty and insurance. If I cannot avoid Lollipop, I will get an Iphone or go back to a flip phone. Lollipop is the worst user interface ever. It is like the "New Coke". You cannot turn the phone to silent with the VOLUME button, how counterintuitive is that!? Also I don't want to see every update on the locked screen, the little pictures are fine. However with Lollipop, it is all the alerts or none at all.
Basically I never get any notification of app updates, not do they update automatically. I have to go into app store regularly, then to updates and thereafter it shows the updates available, and shows the badge on the app store logo (ie red 3 for three new updates).
I've tried logging out of the current apple ID, powering off, on, putting apple ID back, no difference.
Tried turning off automatic updates, powering off, on, putting it back on, no difference (it's currently set in obviously).
Also difficult yo test as each time I need to wait for new updates to be issues to see if it works or not.
She doesn't want to be prompted or asked for the iTunes password for every single update. She doesn't have that many apps and finds the little red prompt very annoying. She has unlimited data so that's not a concern. I can understand typing in your password to BUY an app, but to have to enter it for every iTunes transaction is really annoying. I have a Galaxy Nexus and can set it up to not give me update prompts. Is there a similar option for the iPhone?
the auto-updating of apps stopped working on my iPhone (4s/iOS 7.1.2). Not sure if that's a coincidence but it seems like it stopped working immediately after iOS 8 got released to developers (on June 2), as if somehow the App Store got configured differently, preventing devices running iOS 7 to auto-update apps. Auto update of apps used to happen at night here, most likely when the system has been idle and plugged in for a while, but no more. I find apps to update every morning, nothing has been done automatically.
ps: I did de-activate reboot and re-activate auto-update, no change.
My wife was playing Angry Birds earlier today and an extremely graphic ad for BaDoink popped up.It advertised for you to "Download our First of all, since allowed on an Apple device? I purposely bought two iPhones and a new iPad because of the perceived safety with iOS. My children have been using the iPhones and iPad.I now have ZERO trust that it's safe to have them use the devices.Second, since I didn't see this occur, it appears that from what I did see that this was one of the "Ads" that pop up while you play Angry Birds. Why in the world would the creators of Angry Birds - a game played by children connected with their game?And third, how do I prevent this from ever happening again. I turned restrictions "On" after my wife showed me the ad. Is that good enough to prevent this?
So I lost some mail when I was cleaning up my iPhone, thinking that the mail was already on the Mac, as it is whenever I log on. Lo and behold, I lost some three months of mail! What to do? Do I have to phyiscally email each email that I get on iCloud to my mac account,or even gmail account? I am getting confused.... as I thought the iCloud was a huge server in the sky that I could access anytime, anywhere, on any planet.
How can I block email from accessing my i-phone? How can I prevent Outlook from syncing with my i-phone? THis was not a problem before updating to the new 5.1 version.
I have an iPhone 4 16 gb black and since updating to ios 5.11 the phone has been running above normal temperature and has severe battery drain (10 mins - 1%) on standby mode. I would be grateful If I could get a quick reply as not to prematurely use up battery life cycles unnecessarily. Any way to extend life cycles from a battery and does using the battery whilst keeping it plugged in pause the life cycle process?
How to prevent automatic sync(e.g mail or notifications from apps) whenever 3G is on. I want WiFi for this work just to save my cellular data. unless i open particular app for update/refresh.
In detail: Whenever i want to use safari for browsing via 3G data, automatically other apps useses internet e.g mail automatically sync with respective accounts and also hundereds of notifications show up which unneccessarily drains my battery as well as 3G data. i just want to use WiFi for any sort of syncing process. In nutshell, i want 3G for only those apps which is presently opened by me while 3G is on. But i dont mind if any apps uses internet while using Wifi is connected!
got an iPhone 4 which I'm trying to set up so it's childproof.. now I can set up good restrictions etc and turn off find my iphone so it can't be restored to factory settings remotely.. but if they plug it into itunes they can just reset it and overwrite all my fancy settings?Â
Is there any setting I can use in itunes or on the iPhone itself to prevent that?
My brother is 22 was gifted an iPhone 5S. It has greatly aided in communication skills and growth with family members and close family friends. Due to this, he has gotten ahold of our large family phonebook and added every number, home/work/school email/physical address, birthday, etc. to his Contact Book on his iPhone. However, some of the contact information we have isn't valid anymore and yet, he still contacts these numbers via text, phone call, or email.
After logging onto his iCloud account and deleting these outdated contacts, he cleverly re-added these numbers in. We want to give my brother his privacy to communicate with family/friendss, but we do not like that he keeps trying contact these outdated contacts.Â
Is there a way to prevent the addition or edit of contacts in his contact book? I understand that there are parental controls that allow one to prevent the addition, edit, or deleting of mail, contact, or calendar accounts, however, it doesn't seem to disable the addition/edit/deleting of actual contacts. Ideally, we'd like to be able to delete numbers and addresses that aren't valid, and then "freeze" the addition of more numbers from him...Â
Suppose if my Iphone is stolen and the thief 'uninstalls' the "find my Iphone" software, then in that case what benefit does this particular app provide? Is there a way to not allow "Uninstalling" any particular app?
I would like to know how I can turn off iPhone's iMessage system and just send regular text messages to other iPhone users.Here's why.On two separate occassions I have missed a date with the same guy because we would send each other messages, and get no reply. Why? Because the iPhone appears to choose to send it as an iMessage.But because one or the other isn't connected to a wireless port at the time it doesn't go through.so we're both waiting for the other to reply and it never happens.So we assume the other is asleep, phone died, whatever and plans are automatically cancelled.We take the train home and then iMessage floods both of our phones with 30 minutes worth of texts.
I would like to have the ability to send a text as a text message, and only send an iMessage when I choose it to be the wiser of two methods of sending a text.iMessage is not my preffered method of sending a text because it doesn't work as well.It does a terrible job of letting me know when it can't send and it utilizes wifi which is less abundant than the network I'm on.Moreover I have unlimited texts with my plan.So I don't understand the point of a phone automatically trying to send texts through wifi when it doesn't work as well,inadvertantly cancels my date twice, and leaves me bitter and ALONE at home again.So do I have an option to just send texts as regular texts? Or is this a new feature that I can't control?
So for the past month or so, whenever i tried to sync my iPhone 5 to my iMac, my music would end up out of alphabetical order on my iPhone.
The majority of music would end up under '#' on my iPhone even though its perfectly organized on my Mac and i would have to resync my phone multiple times to get at least some of the music up the list alphabetically.
Although it did have some affect, the problem still persists with a '#' ending up under every couple letters.
Is there a way to resolve this or should i restore my iPhone?
Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS7, it has basically become a brick. It constantly freezes, and the home button becomes completely inoperable. People have suggested a number of fixes for the home button problem ("calibrating", tightening screws, etc.) but none of the fixes solved the problem. Through trial and error, I've come to realize that the problem is that the phone doesn't have enough computing power and that too much of its RAM gets used up by background processes, causing the phone to freeze. Â
I have found an app that stops unnecessary background processes currently running, frees up RAM, and lets the phone function properly (Free RAM 1.3). Once I've run this app, the phone functions perfectly. Â
However, this clean up only happens each time the app is launched (ie: it does not continuously free up RAM). So, I constantly have to run it (and sometimes am not able to because the phone is frozen and the home button won't work). Â
When it is running, the app displays the background processes that are running. Looking at the list, there are many processes for which I have no need, such as processes related to automatic checking for app updates, processes related to iCloud (which I do not use), etc. Preventing these processes from running in the first place would go a long way in making my phone more useable (being able to return to a previous iOS would be a better option, but Apple won't allow this).Â
Here is my question:Â is there a way to prevent unnecessary background processes from running at all?Â
is there some kind of an app to auto update the time using the wifi in nokia x6? Do you want to get all the firmware updates for your phone? Get a SIM-free one!
My blackberry curve 8520 always connects to the internet at 00:00 costing me money can this be turned off?It is on a Sim only deal with no data, I have WiFi in my home but it seems to dismiss this and connect using the Mobile internet. I assume that it is programmed to look for updates at midnight. CaN this function be disabled?
Was reading another thread, and I have to assume Apple wanted to use a more durable shell to avoid the huge amount of complaints they received about cracks showing in the previous 2 phone models.I saw on Apple's site that the glass is "bendable" so this should help stress fractures from showing up.Any comments or more info on this subject from anyone?
