Ipad and Iphone WIFI speed tested weird results

Hi:
Just to help (or make it worse).
I am sitting at my desk and testing my IPad and my Iphone.
I am running the speedtest app from the app store.
The Iphone consistenly gets 14+mbit download (I have a 50mbit ISP link) and just under 5mbit Upload (I have a 5mbit upload link).
The IPAD gets at BEST 7.8mbit down, but also gets just under 5mbit up. So it's even weirder than it seems. The IPAD gets the same upload speed and 1/2 the download speed.
I am testing them on the same network, same location, same everything (wireless G only setting on Router). I am testing them one after the other not simultaneously.
Oh and I couldn't get the IPAD to connect to Wirless N AT ALL.

I guess you both are new here.
Lots of iPad users are plagued by terrible slow wifi connections. There was a thread here "weak wifi" with over 80,000 views and 37 pages of replies.
I too had the same issue then I changed my N capable router to G only mode and my speed Is amazing. Well this is not a solution but hopefully temporary work around until apple comes out with a firmware update.
Write to apple in their iPad feedback form so that they listen to it.they don't look at the forums supposedly.

Bottom line here is you guys are not alone.

IPad (and iPhone 4) upload speed on wi-fi very slow - any thoughts?

Both my "i devices" - an iPad and iPhone 4 are very slow for upload speeds on wi-fi. For example, here are the results of using speedtest.net on my iMac 21.5", iPhone 4 and iPad just now:
iMac: download 38.39 Mbps, upload 19.22 Mbps (so the wi-fi network itself has good upload speeds)
iPhone 4: download 21.17 Mbps, upload 0.39 Mbps (why so slow?!)
iPad: download 23.66 Mbps, upload 0.71 Mbps (why so slow?!)
The wireless router is an Airport Extreme updated to the latest firmware.
I've seen screenshots of other people's iPad and iPhone speedtest.net tests where the upload speed over wi-fi doesn't suffer compare to download like mine does, by a factor of 54!
I've seen postings here and there by people with similar problems. Are there any solutions? Are my iPad and iPhone 4 bad? Are they incompatible with my Airport Extreme? Are there "settings" somewhere that can help with the problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, Carolyn.
Perhaps so. Maybe there are certain kinds of connections which are better suited for iPads and iPhones than others. But the download speed on neither device seem to have problems. It's just the upload speed.
I did try several channels yesterday - 6 through 13 - but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Why would trashing my Mac preference files and restarting my Mac help anything? My Mac isn't having any problems.
Oh, by the by, on my iPhone at least I already tried resetting Network preferences. I even did a Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and re-installed my iPhone 4 from scratch. While still in a "vanilla state" before restoring from my backup, I tried testmyiphone.com via Safari and got similar results - very poor upload.
The 3G connection also fluctuates between "so so" (1-2 Mbps down, 0.8 Mbps up) and really horrible (0.2 Mbps down and 0.05 Mbps up).
I did just try your suggested "reset networks" on my iPad. This time I got a download of 13.26 Mbps and upload of 2.2 Mbps on the first test. On the 2nd test I got about the same download, but an upload speed of just 0.63 Mbps.
So something's still wrong.

TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
Is the TC new? If old how old?
If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
Tell us how that goes.

Apple TV; sharing to my iPad and iPhone works but not to wife's iPad or iPhone?

My apologies, I have been searching FAQ's and couldn't find any resolution - it is late for me!
Purchased new Apple TV (2nd gen) last week and after solving slow internet issues set up all content to be "home shared" to my devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4) - GOOD! Unfortunately nothing is being shared to my wife's iPad 2 or iPhone 3GS from the Apple TV but is being shared from the iMac to her devices- BAD!
We make all purchases on my iTunes account but also use my account for "home sharing" on my wife's devices, all settings APPEAR to be the same. I did notice that in iTunes, under "Store", "my account", "manage my account" that only my iMac, iPad and iPhone show up as devices "In the Cloud". If I click "manage devices" I don't have an option to add more devices (wife's iPad and iPhone). How can I add them so they receive content from Apple TV as well?
The only work-around I have figured out is to download the purchases that were originally made on the Apple TV in my iMac iTunes and then they are pushed to my wife's devices - not very elegant. Is there a way to use iCloud to push purchases from Apple TV to all of our devices or am I doomed to do this every time something is bought on Apple TV?
Thank you for reading my tale of woe!!

Have you checked the Console logs to see if the system or iTunes might be reporting an issue with your equipment?
You can find Console in Applications>Utilities>Console.

I am using an iPad and iPhone and have exchange as my email. Both will only collect mails when I am in the wifi of the office, and not when I am out and about. I can't seem to get a fix for it.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

I have a Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S My wife has a iPad and iPhone 4S How do I sync her devices and mine to mine and never the twain shall meet?

Please can any one advise?
I have a Macbook Pro 15" mid 2012, I also have a iPhone 4S which I sync with iTunes.
Now, my wife has a iPad and a iPhone 4S.
I would like to sync her iPad and iPhone together (Contacts, Calenders etc)
and I sync my Macbook with my iPhone 4S together
But never the twin shall meet. I do not want her contacts and calender on my devices and she does not want my contacts and dates on her devices.
We both have seperate apple id's
All I can think of is set up a guest account for her, install iTunes on that account and put her on that. However it no longer os a guest account but hers.
Thank you for reading this, all advice gratefully received
Mike T

go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

Mixed results on iPad and iPhone 6 Plus with background image. How to fix this?

Flash Professional CC
I'm having an issue with adding images on iPhone 6 plus and iPad. I'm getting mixed results with two items: 1) a background image and 2) a button that should appear at the bottom left-hand corner on any device. In one case the background image appears enlarged and only shows about 30% of itself. In the other case, the bottom left-hand button appears about 50 pixels to the left when x=0. I also get different results when I set the following:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
This does not produce the expected results. I would like to have consistent results across iPad and iPhone 6 plus, which seams to be an issue. The immediate fix for this is to leave the images on the stage instead of using addChild. I could then just stretch the background image so that it spans the whole screen. But I want to add the items dynamically for greater flexibility.
Here are two cases:
Case #1:
This an iPhone 6 plus and you should notice 2 things. 1) There is black and white on both sides. The blue background SHOULD APPEAR ACROSS THE WHOLE SCREEN. 2) The red button in the corner SHOULD APPEAR IN THE LEFT MOST CORNER OF THE
SCREEN.
Case #2:
This an iPhone 6 plus and I have set the scale X, Y to the stage.stageWidth/Height:
mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleX = stage.stageWidth;
mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleY = stage.stageHeight;
This results in a close up of the background image.
Here is the code that I'm using:
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
//When this is active the background image spans across the device (iPhone 6 plus) correctly. The main logo image does not line up correctly.
/*stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;*/
var main_logo:MC_LOGO_MAIN = new MC_LOGO_MAIN();
var mainBackground_2208: MC_MAIN_BACKGROUND_2208 = new MC_MAIN_BACKGROUND_2208();
var mainBackground_1024: MC_BACKGROUND_1024 = new MC_BACKGROUND_1024();
var mainCorner: MC_MAINCORNER = new MC_MAINCORNER();
var chapters: MC_CHAPTERS = new MC_CHAPTERS();
var _stageWidth = 1024;
if (stage.stageWidth > _stageWidth)
    //Add bigger background if the stage is bigger than 1024
    mainBackground_2208.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    mainBackground_2208.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    addChild(mainBackground_2208);
    //Using this code results in a very close up view of the stage on iPhone 6 plus
    /*mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleX = stage.stageWidth;
    mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleY = stage.stageHeight;*/
    //Adds corner to the main screen.
    mainCorner.y = stage.stageHeight;
    mainCorner.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth);
    addChild(mainCorner);
    TweenLite.from(mainCorner, 1,{ height: 0, width: 0, delay:1, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
    //add logo to sit at 50 pixels from the top of the stage
    /*main_logo.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    main_logo.y = (stage.stageHeight -stage.stageHeight + main_logo.height *.6);
    addChild(main_logo);
    TweenLite.from(main_logo, 1,{ y: -main_logo.height, ease:Elastic.easeOut});*/
else
    trace ("The stage is 1024 or smaller");
    //Add 1024 background if stage is 1024 or smaller
    mainBackground_1024.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    mainBackground_1024.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    addChild(mainBackground_1024);
    //Adds corner to the main screen.
    mainCorner.y = stage.stageHeight;
    mainCorner.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth);
    addChild (mainCorner);
    TweenLite.from(mainCorner, 1,{ height: 0, width: 0, delay:1, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
    //adds chapters
    chapters.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth)+75;
    chapters.y = stage.stageHeight - 120;
    addChild(chapters);
    TweenLite.from(chapters, 1,{ height: 0, delay:.5, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
    //adds the Main logo to sit at 50 pixels from the top of the stage
    main_logo.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    main_logo.y = (stage.stageHeight -stage.stageHeight + main_logo.height *.6);
    addChild(main_logo);
    TweenLite.from(main_logo, 1,{ y: -main_logo.height, ease:Elastic.easeOut});

On all of the devices go to settings - facetime - iphone cellular calls - oFF, this part of Apple continuity.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I upgraded my wife's iMac to Mountain Lion. When I try to set up her cloud connection to sync with her iPad and iPhone, it says it is sending a verification email, but it never arrives. Any way around this. Her phone and iPad seem to already be in sync .

When I try to set up my wife's Cloud account after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I click on the "send verification email" box, but the email never arrives. Her iPad and iPhone already seem to sync up in the Cloud, but no storage is being used. Any suggestions on how to get the account on her iMac?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone. How can I fix my MacBook?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer. My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere. The only problem is at home.
The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work. Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi. However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode. So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
What do you recommend I do?
Thanks!
PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.
Regards.
