I have a new iPhone 4s. I have a home wi-fi network using Cisco Linksys2000 router with all settings per this article - phone will not see network if set to 5 GHz channel width - solution?? 2.4 works but is not optimal with other devices in home (computers; tivo). Have others seen this? Any advice is much appreciated.
Stephen Spark is right - your best alternative is to use a simultaneous dual band wireless router like the AirPort Extreme. Your Cisco Linksys2000 is not a dual band router, meaning that it will be constrained to operate at the slowest speed of all the devices on your network.
The AirPort Extreme's dual networks will support all your 802.11n devices as well as all your 802.11b/g devices on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies simultaneously.

My wife and I have 2 new iPhones and also have a mac book pro and an iMac. How can we share apps, music and contacts between all these?
Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

I have a new iphone 5. Trying to sync with itunes on my computer. Prior to plugging in new phone i made sure my other phone had synced with computer so all data was current. My old iphone does sync with cloud. When i plug in my iphone 5 for syncing it gets to step 5 and continues on for eternity...it has never completed syncing. This has been over a hour. Any ideas...ps old phone 4s backed up to cloud also and syncs would only take a minute or 2.
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
I have a new IPhone 5c, and an old iTunes acct. I changed my password because I forgot it. I guess I tried it too many times and now my apple iTunes is disabled. How do I fix that?
You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
(For info you've posted in the Using iPad forum.) -

So i just bought a new iphone and was trying to back it up onto my computer. I accidentally backed it up onto my moms icloud account that she is currently using. If i erase all content and settings will it delete everything in general or just off MY iphone that im currently using? I just need to reverse it but i don't want to delete all of her data, etc.
Hi brifuhrman,
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll down to the bottom of the screen. Click on Delete Account and type in your Mom's iCloud password when it asks. Follow the prompts to finish deleting the iCloud account from your phone.
Once you have deleted that iCloud account from your phone, see if the things that you no longer want on your device are gone. If they are, then sign on to iCloud with your own iCloud ID and you will be ready to go.
If there are still things you need deleted from your device then start from scratch by doing a Reset All Content and Settings.
Cheers,

I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?
Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks
Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?
I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck! -

Can I use iTunes to download iOS 8.0.2 once and then install on multiple new iPhone 5S we have at work?
Our 30 new iPhone 5S came with iOS 7.1.1.The fact that the OS requires 3.8GB of storage is ridiculous to begin with. Especially when they know there are a ton of 16GB models out there. Clearly another big brother attempt by Apple to force new iPhone sales which amazes me beyond description. If I experience pain with a product, I'm not going to buy another one and "hope" the problems go away. I'm going to buy a competitor's product. Apparently the lemmings keep following the herd or Apple couldn't continue these strong arm tactics. I'll stay on iOS 6.x until I'm ready for a new phone then...by another manufacturer.
