IPhone 5S Router Suggestion?
I have a Netgear Wireless-N 150 Router, WNR1000v2. My 5S is unable to hold the router in the garage. I repositioned the router within my office room without success. What router specs do I need to optimise my iPhone 5S WiFi capabilities?

Need router suggestions for G4 MDD
Wi-Fi availability is very sparse in my neighborhood, so using an iPhone at home can be challenging. I thought that by purchasing a router I could improve my situation. I would also like to control my iTunes library on the G4 through my iPhone.
The G4 is running 10.4.11 and connects to the Internet via cable modem. The G4 doesn't have an Airport card.
I would very much appreciate any router suggestions or other pertinent advice.
Thank you.I've installed a number of routers on Mac system and they don;t have to be "Mac-compatible." I set up a network for my daughter with teh cheapest wireless "n" wireless router I could find at Fry's electronics, a TrendNet I think--about US$35 on sale. Her computer is a Mac Mini running 10.5.8 but mu old PowerBook running 10.4 connects without issue.
The easiest thing may be to ask your ISP if they have a wireless router/modem combo unit. That's what our ISP gave us. Might be a monthly upcharge if you are renting the modem but it's likely not much. Ours has wired ports as well
If you go for a separate wireless router: Typically a wireless router will also have regular wired ports. Connect the new router between the modem and the computer with Ethernet cable. The router's instruction will have a set-up section. There they will give you an IP address for your router. Type that address into any browser and you can set the options: power level; channel on some models; set a name for the Routers, and set a password (you want to protect your network with a password so people don't snipe your service or snoop).
Once so set, you can see the wireless network you've created from your phone or computer if the computer has a wireless card. If it doesn't have a card simply leave the Ethernet wired connection from the router to the computer--it will nicely co-exist with the phone.
We have three Macs and two network printers wired to our network, plus two Mac Notebooks connecting via wireless. I still have a spare wired port or two left over for when I'm servicing someone else's computer lacking a wireless card.
It probably took longer for me to type this that is would to set up a router. -
my iphone's memory is near capacity from photo albums sync'ed with my mac and I haven't found out how to delete select albums to free up memory without wiping the iphone. Any suggestions??
You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one. i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone. any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you. -
Since uploading OS 4.3.2, I can no longer sync Outlook Calendar to my 3GS iPhone. Any suggestions?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Seems the gyroscope function is no longer working on my iPhone 5c. Suggestions?
Seems the gyroscope function is no longer working on my iPhone 5c. Suggestions?
Thank you so much for this reply. I had already seen this reboot suggestion and actually tried it. During the night I realized that I had phrased the question wrong because I really had the issue of getting my iPhone to change to LANDSCAPE mode. For some reason I asked for help on the gyroscope Thinking that the gyroscope controlled this feature. I found that I had accidentally turned on the "orientation lock" and by bringing up the control panel from the bottom of the screen I was able to find this lock button and correct the problem. The truth is ---- the iPhone scree is so small that I was not able to see this little lock symbol at all. I found this symbol on my iPad and transferred the knowledge to my iPhone. Everything is working fine now And I thank you very much for taking the time to write to me. SuzanneVA

I have an hd movie on both my ipad and iPhone 5, using airplay on my apple tv with my iPhone 5 plays perfectly but gets stuck with my ipad 2, almost like its buffering? I just want it to play smoothly like with my iPhone. Any suggestion?
About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes... When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
You will notice better pic quality... Apple by default is still sending the 720P file to the new iPhone 6 plus over wifi and sync.. howve this process above will give you full HD file for your Apple device... -

After upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes 11 on my PC, I plugged my iPhone into my PC and got the error message that I needed to install iTunes 11 on my iPhone. Any suggestions?
You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well. It was buggy for me.
I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
Just had to try everything. As final choice, update over the air. I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.
