Q: Checking MacBook/iPad data usage history, anyone?

Hi

Just got a nasty bill from my phone company, mostly for one day I spent sharing data from my phone to my Mac and iPad.

Does anyone know if on my MacBook and iPad there is a way of checking upload/download amounts in Mb by date?

Thanks!

MacBook Air, iOS 8.4.1

Hello,

This page will be useful to you: About cellular data settings and usage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support

Since the Mac isn't connected to cellular networks there isn't a way to check it's data usage.

There are a number of apps you can download that keep track of your cellular usage and warn you when you are approaching a speciifc usage. I use DataMan and have it set to warn me when I’ve gone over my daily allowance (about one thirtieth of my datacap) and/or 80% of my monthly cap.

Point: Dataman.
