IPhone 6 wifi speeds and syncing over wifi... lots of issues!

Hello,
After setting up my iP6 (and my wife's) i've been seeing terrible results with internet speeds over wifi. My home is wired for fast speed (FIOS 50/50) and I do not have other devices on the wifi network. I've tried using ookla (speedtest.net) and a few others, things look bad. My iPad mini will easily hit 25/15, but my iP6 is hitting 1/2 (upload vs download).
I've also noticed both devices have trouble with wifi sync on my Mac Air.
I've reset the network settings, Apple wants me to download and reinstall iOS8. That showed 30+ hours due to their servers being busy...
Any thoughts or is anyone else seeing this with their phones. Apple wants me to contact ATT even though I purchased applecare+, not really the response I was looking for after spending 1600 on 2 new phones that function poorly.
Thank you.

I had wifi speed problems after doing a iCoud restore myself. Resetting the network settings worked for me though.

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?
My MacBook Pro and iPhone 3G with OS 4 synchronize with each other over the air through my Snow Leopard Server. Though when I connect it to iTunes I see that it allows me to checked "Synchronize with this computer" type options and I'm confused as to why that would be if they're synchronizing over the air.
Can someone help clarify when those should be checked? Because I do want everything that's on my computer synchronized with my iPhone and vice versa, but if I add the accounts on my phone manually that seems to work too.

In regards to syncing contacts and calendar events, if you are syncing this data over the air on your iPhone and the contacts and calendar events synced over the air on your iPhone match the Address Book and iCal data on your Mac, there is no reason to sync this data direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.

I changed my Apple ID at the Apple website but it won't let me change it on my iPhone 5 (gMail, iCloud) and syncing doesn't help.

I have an Iphone 4s 16 gig and i have a lot of photos if i bought more icloud space would i be able to store more pictures

No, icloud can't be used as a storage location. You should always sync photos to a computer (via itunes or photo stream - but that wouldn't help you now, since only new photos are synced via photo stream to other devices and computers).
Note: an icloud backup does include photos in the camera roll, but if you later erase photos on the iphone to save space, those photos will no longer be available in the backup (assuming you continue backing up).
The bottom line is to always sync photos to a computer for archiving. It's the safest way. Many users have been burned using icloud backups, discovering that when restoring, they lost all their pictures.

My iPhone 5 will not enable sync over wifi. Any help?

My iPhone 5 will not sync over wifi even after I have enabled it to do so in itunes. Any ideas?

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

Wireless sync option not available on Itunes 10.5. After updating my iphone to IOS 5, the "sync over wifi" option is not being displayed in itunes.

hi, I managed to update both Itunes and my ios to the latest versions (10.5 and 5 respectively). I'm unable to see the "Sync over wifi" option in itunes. Can anyone help?

Maybe that's why I got lucky? I have 10.7.2. I have to tell you howeer that I did not check any check box in settings on the Notebook to enable Wifi sync, or in iTunes on the notebook. I did have options when setting up the iPad and I selected sync with computer rather than back up to cloud. Maybe that is another difference? I feel feel fortunate that as I type this my iPad is syncing over wifi and you're all having trouble.
Just to confirm I have iTunes 10.5 MacOSX 10.7.2 and iOS5 installed on the iPad. I'm going to dive in and do the phone now too. I will report any troubles, or pay more careful attention when the iCloud settings and set up come on the screen. Maybe I did something else I don't remember.

IPhone 6 wifi slow/connectivity issues

I am new to the Apple family, and i just bought the iPhone 6. I am experiencing frustrating amount of WiFi problems with this phone. I updated to iOS 8.1 last night hoping the problem goes away but it still persists.
I am connected to the home WiFi, but the webpage loading/receiving Whatsapp messages/accessing App Store is mind-numbingly slow on a good day, and refuses to load anything when i desperately need it. My WiFi works perfectly with all other devices connected on the network. Including my old phone.
I have tried all the methods i could find online.
Turn Wi-Fi off and on
Forget WiFi network and connect again
Reset Network Settings
Change DNS
Restore from iTunes Backup
Restore as a new device
Turning router off and on
Network is on WPA2
Frankly, i have had it with Apple. I am regretting buying this. I am burning through my LTE data, and with more than 20 days on the month cycle and less than 1 gig of data left, i am looking at a huge amount for the mobile bill if the issue doesn't get sorted soon.
Is there any other suggestion? Any other idea? Or will i just have to smash this piece of crap to bits and cry over dollars spent over nothing?

I should add that after backing up my data from my old iPhone 5 through iTunes and then migrating the data through iTunes to my new iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 seemed to recognize WiFi hotspots I'd previously used with my iPhone 5, but didn't take the passwords with it. That is, for each WiFi hotspot, it would try to connect to the hotspot but would tell me that the password was wrong/had to be re-entered. I wasn't sure whether this was a bug or whether it was somehow by design; and I assumed that, if it were a bug, it was unrelated to the issues I mentioned in my previous post. Now I'm less sure that they're unrelated.

How do i unsync my iphone from itunes library and sync it to a different one without wiping my phone

I bought an iphone 5c and synced it to a windows 7 thinkpad laptop. I backed it up on this device and transferred music off there to my iphone. I recently had an acer aspire e15 laptop and downloaded itunes so i could now do everything i did on my old laptop on to this one, but it isn't letting me unless i sync my phone and wipe its memory. Although i can restore my phone it doesn't restore the music. So is there a way to unsync from one itunes library to another without wiping my data, or is there a way to transfer the music off my phone to my new itunes library so when i restore my phone its easy to restore the music i had on it previously.

The warning message provided is all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, not all settings and data. The same applies when selecting to transfer any photos from the new computer. If you had a computer backup for your old computer that included your iTunes library and all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer that could be transferred to your new computer, this wouldn't be a problem.
iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Or with your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases.
There are some 3rd party utilties that provide for transferring photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost. When transferring photos from a computer, the photos are optimized for viewing on the iPhone. The same utilities provide for transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes Store.
Contacts, settings, and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not affected by this.

Unable to manually manage music and videos on iPhone 4 without erase and sync, same computer!

Ok, so I know you all have heard this before but I do believe my case is rather unique, and quite frustrating.
I purchased an iPhone 4 and synced it to the same computer I am using now - created the playlist and used it to sync with phone. Worked great for awhile; but one day I contracted some nasty malware and had to wipe my computer and reinstall my OS (Windows 7). Albeit my music library was on my external HDD which survived the onslaught. I obviously had to reinstall iTunes afterwards. The playlist was gone on reinstall.
Afterwards I still didn't see an issue with my iPhone and iTunes: When I plug it in it syncs, everything seems to be working accordingly.
But I recently transferred some new music from a CD to my iTunes and wanted to throw those songs on my iPhone, the drag and drop method I was so very used to did not work and I noticed that "manually manage music and videos" was uncheck under my devices summary.
When I attempt to check this option in iTunes it gives me a popup notification telling me I need to erase and sync in order to use this option because my 'iPhone is synced with another library". Again, I DID have to reinstall iTunes after reinstalling my OS.
I have tried all the tricks that google could supply me with with no avail; authorizing, stopping the sync from automatically starting.... yada yada - none of these cookie cutter methods have worked for me.
Here's a too long didn't read:
>iPhone 4 was working fine - used playlist to sync with.
>Had to reinstall OS (Windows 7) Playlist gone.
>Reinstall iTunes.
>iPhone still syncs with library, no error messages on connect.
>Unable to manually manage music and videos without erase and sync.
>None of the usual methods work.

Hmm, I will say after posting this and looking at the related threads it seems I can only either use manually manage or sync.
I was using sync before but since the playlist disappeared I was syncing with I simply want to add music to my phone without deleting everything. Is this possible?
If I use "manually manage music and videos" will it delete everything or just the music and videos? It doesn't specify...
Could I just create a new playlist and sync it with that? If so how?
The bottom line is it isn't that big of a deal if I need to simply rebuild my iPhone music library but losing my configuration, contacts etc is not an option. Optimally I would just like to be able to add my new music to my iPhone without having to rebuild my library.

My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an ipad registered in my name. How can I change the iphone to my name and sync both devices.

You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser. This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account.
Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account. If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account. You can then turn on Mail to create the new account. Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).

Using two iPhones with iTunes - erase and sync message

Me and my fiancée both have an iPhone 4. I connect to iTunes regularly and it does so automatically when I tether my phone to the lap top for Internet. We each have seperate Apple accounts. When I connected hers yesterday to add some music I got an 'erase and sync' message saying that her phone was linked to another iTunes library. We only have one lap top and so have only ever had the phones connected to that one iTunes on it. If I erase and sync will that delete all her apps, pictures etc And replace with the ones I have on my phone that have backed up to iTunes. We want to have different apps and photos.
With our iPods we set them to manual and there's no problem, but with the iPhone there is.
I don't think it matters but I'm on ios5 and she is on ios4, both are iPhone 4.

No, I hadn't thought of that. I would have had my phone plugged in before and when I plugged her phone in I wasn't prompted for a password. So no, she wouldn't have been signed in.
So, if I sign out of my account and sign in to hers, I shouldn't get this problem of being prompted to erase and sync?

Is my first iPhone and I have a lot of issues, wi fi connection, the screen frizz when I'm texting, the phone some times just stop to work and I have to turn off, some times I can't send pictures, my text messages takes a lot to my friends get it,

I have a lot of issues with I phone 6, text, screen frizz, etc its some update to fix?

To send a MMS to a non-iPhone you must have cell data on.

My new iphone 4gs is not recognised in iTunes on my Macbook (my old iphone 3 is recognised and syncs no problem)

My new iphone 4GS with a new O2 sim was bought today.
It is to replace an IPhone 3.
When I plug in the 3 it is recognised in iTunes on my Macbook, but when I plug in the new phone it charges but does no appear as a device in ITunes or the Finder.
What next?

Does it charge?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Clean install of Lion, sync iPhone: had to "Erase and Sync" - folders gone :@

Is there a fix for this, I cannot be bothered going through them manually and organising them again

I think I may have realised why the folders have gone. When restoring from my backup hard drive, instead of going through migration assistant, I just dragged the apps, songs, etc... from the backup hard drive onto the iTunes icon in my dock.
