IPhone 5s :: To Which Data Do Apps Have Access To?
Jun 20, 2014
Since I'm new to iOS (iPhone 5s with the latest OS if that makes a difference) I was wondering:
Which data can apps access without my permission / knowledge?Â
I know there are permissions which have to be given explicitly (like GPS) but are there also ones which are granted automatically without my knowledge? Are apps actually able to access the file system or any of my data outside the given permissions?
what does this mean? i just got my iPhone 4 today and i was on the road (apple store is an hour drive from where i live) and i was texing my friends, had:
celluar data: OFF enable 3g: OFF data roaming: OFF
and i kept getting this response "turn on cellular data or use Wi-FI to access data" anyone know how to fix this? am i suppose to leave Cellular data on? i turned it off because i thought it would be wasting data. (got 200MB plan)
Used a friend's laptop to access some data in my phone (a voice memo) and send an audio file to someone. Can the friend now access my data from her laptop without being connected to my phone with a USB?
I'm constantly battling low internal drive space on my Tab S (I'll NEVER buy another 16GB internal drive device), but this question should also pertain to my S6.
When I go into my "Storage" settings, I have the option to clear my cache with one click. I'd like to use this function to clear off my cached browsing, imgur, etc., but my concern is my games.
1) If I clear the cache, will I lose my saved game data? 2) Will I lose any settings for any apps?
I am getting my new phone tomorrow and im tired of using my laptop to sync, and would rather use my desktop. I do not want my music, just my apps - but i cant figure out how to view my apps on my desktop! I have never used it before for syncing or anything and i plugged in my phone and i wasnt able to see my purchased apps or anything. Personally i hate itunes because i can never figure out where **** is!
Also, i just updated my current phone yesterday to iOS4 and my phone is back to normal. There are no apps or music currently on it. The only thing i still have is my contacts - which is all i wanted to keep on my phone. I dont have to sync my phone and put all the apps on my phone from my laptop, then sync again with my desktop, do i? that would be horrible on Apple's part..
Ever since upgrading to 5.1 OS on my iPhone 4S whenever I try to update or download an app I get a message that says 'unknown error has occured. When I try to access my Apple ID I get a error of 'cannot connect to iTunes Store'.
I was wondering if I used Google Maps or Navigon, would it use data? I ask this because I plan to get the 2GB plan, and don't want to run it all up.Also, will AT&T text me if I'm running out of data for that month?
Say you have an app (Facebook, for arguments sake) which has messages, cached pictures etc. Is that info stored in the actual app file (iTunes Media > Mobile Applications) or do you have to trigger an iTunes backup? For context, I don't have access to a backup to restore my phone from however I do have a file system backup of my applications folder. If I install these apps to my new phone will they be fresh installs or will they retain my old data?
I'm using iPhone 3Gs with iOs 5.1 and iCloud back-up. Now I've bought me a iPhone 4S How can I import/convert my old data/apps to my new phone. Tried to use i Cloud, but it wasn't possibloe to restore from iCloud?
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to the latest OS. Apps and all other data are still on the phone but not the contacts. The contacts do not show up on iCloud evern though the phone synched to iCloud on my PC.
I had an app that I had wrote down passwords and added pictures to and when I update to 5.1.1 it put my phone in recovery mode so I had to restore it and after that I got my apps back but not the information on them like the pictures and passwords. Is there a way to get it back?
I have had my daughter's iPhone associated with my Apple ID for several years now because A) She was too young to have an Apple ID of her own, and B) I wanted to be able to monitor her App Store purchases and such. Well now that she is older and has proven herself to be a responsible young lady, I want to get her her own Apple ID, as she will be getting a new McBook as a graduation present. My question is this: Is it possible to migrate all the apps and data from her phone to a new Apple ID without having to download all those apps again? I backup her phone to my computer on a regular basis.
I have the iphone 4s and totally new to the whole thing..i want to download Whatsap Messenger using my Cellular Data..it keeps on asking for a 3 digit area code..cellphones doesnt have area code only landlines..which code should i put in there?
Info: iPhone 4S, Data cellular data - applications
I bought a new (to me) Macbook Pro running Lion. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1.1 that I keep backed up to iCloud. With my PC I used to always keep semi-frequent backups to the computer along side the iCloud backups, never can be too careful. Now since most everyting with Lion intergrates and syncs with iCloud I haven't needed to check to sync those in iTunes.
Now to get to my question, for my apps I know I can "transfer purchases" so that my apps show up in my iTunes library, but when I check to sync the apps it completely rearranges them on the little pictures of the screen on computer. Now a long time ago with iOS 4 and my old iPhone 4 when I did this on my new at the time PC it wiped out all the app data and basically reinstalled the apps as brand new apps. I DO NOT want to loose the app data as some of apps like LockBox store critical data that I cannot loose.
Will checking to sync my apps clear the data within the apps? Again I am ONLY concerned about APP DATA ! All other data on the phone has been taken care of and synced with the computer.
I have Iphone 4s, iOS 7. I was looking to try and turn off the data for the apps when I'm not using them since they run up a lot of data. But when I went into Settings> Cellular > Use Cellular Data For:Â It only showed up several apps that I use, not all the apps that I use and are on my phone and I know they obviously use data.Â
iOS 7.1.2 update for my IPhone 4S Cloud. I have received the update notice and I don't understand why I cannot update? I purchased 20MB of space from ICloud which is more than enough to cover the update and my data? So if I have to delete apps to upload this update I will lose my data or can I store it in the cloud and Delete it off the phone and then turn on the cloud again to down load to my phone. If I have to do it that way how do you down load from your Icloud afterwards?
I recently bought an iphone 5c (3-4 months ago). Up untill about a week ago, everything was working fine but now I can't download applications over cellular data.
On wifi, i can dowload things fine and my data is working fine (i can use safari, email, imessage, whatsapp ect. without any issues) but when i click on install, i see this circle turning. When i go to my springboard, i can see an icon but it has no image on it and says "waiting" under it, and after about a minute it dissapears...
My iphone IS running the lastest version of ios (7.1.2, non-jailbroken) and apart from a few battery issues, no other problems with the iphone.
Now that unlimited data is a thing of the past this might be a concern I've not seen discussed, do the apps that are now running in background like Facebook twitter etc stay connected to the 3g signal to get updates if so will that now mean we will have higher data usage than we did before? Or do they just start using data when they are opened as the main app being viewed?
