IPod and iPad Wifi download speed greatly diminished

My iPad4 and IPod Touch 5 download speed is 500KB/s and upload speed is 8Mb/s, whereas my laptop's download speed is 20MB/s. Any suggestions on how to increase my iOs devices WiFi download speed? I have tried changing DNS to the several suggested on the forum to to avail. I am using Speedtest on all three devices. I am on Comcast using their Arris TG862 Gateway.

Jason,
Thanks for the advise,however, no joy.
I followed your instructions to the letter as if I was setting it up for the first time.
My windows laptop, ipad and iPod all get great download and upload speeds when within 6-8 feet of router/modem.
Upon moving all three outside of that range, like 10 feet down the hall, my laptop continues to perform but apple devices slow down to as low as 500kbs down but still have 7Mbs uploading. Prior the start of this situation 3 weeks ago,
I could use my ipad to stream Netflix in the garage on the other side of the house with 3 walls and a metal fire door in between.
I may be paranoid, but it seems like since the law regarding "throttling" passed, my Apple products are affected. When I use SpeedTest on my ipad, the download speed starts out at 10Mb/s then slows down to a crawl. It is like it is saying "Oh, and iOs device, let's slow it down."
This as detailed as I can get. Any further ideas?
I do have a Netgear high speed router that was replaced with the combination device provided by Comcast.
I have read about calling Comcast and requesting to be put into bridge mode. What do you think?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Divine Inspiration,
You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

I have a IPod and IPad on my iTunes account. My wife now has a iPhone. We share a computer. She wants an iTunes account. Can I add a second iTunes account to her half of the PC?

I have an iPod and iPad. My wifr just go an iPhone and wants an iTune account. Can I have 2 separate accounts on one PC, and if so how do I do that? Can she share my music files? Thanks.

"Can I have 2 separate accounts on one PC,"
Yes. not sure why you would want two accounts, but you can if you like.
" Can she share my music files? "
Yes. Not sure why you wouldn't just use one account and library, but you can if you like.

Ive lost my ipod and i havent downloaded the "find my ipod" what should i do?

ive lost my ipod and i havent downloaded the "find my ipod" what should i do?

You do not need to download anything. All you needed to do is go to Settings>iCloud and turned on the FindMyiPod feature. If on and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in and click on FindMyiPhone.
See:
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
Restoring the iPod will permently delete the Find feature.
Otherwise report to police, look for it the old fashioned way and change the passswords for all accounts used on the iPod.

Going through the feedback and support pages will be a waste of your time. Apple won't respond to feedback, and support can't do anything regarding product suggestions, particularly not from a company with an existing product they wish to sell. The only attention you might get from Apple would be possible interest in selling your product through the Apple Stores, and I don't know how Apple chooses the third-party products they sell. All I could suggest would be writing to Apple's corporate headquarters:
Apple
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
with perhaps "Attention: Retail Sales Division" and telling them about your product and your interest in it being sold through the Apple Stores.
Regards.

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

IMatch is driving me crazy! Playlists cannot be seen on my iPod and iPad, (the cloud icon has a line through it).

iMatch is driving me crazy! Playlists cannot be seen on my iPod and iPad.

For kicks, I added my iPad to Match and all of a sudden iTunes worked. Wierd bug. Now I can download via iTunes.

Slow wifi download speeds on 3gs??

Is anyone else experiencing slow wifi download speeds?? I upgraded from a first gen iPhone to the 3gs & the first thing I noticed was downloading stuff from iTunes, app store, or YouTube, Takes forever!! Example... If I put both of my phones side by side, both connected to wifi, start downloading a 36 mb podcast at the same time, my first gen iPhone will finish the file in about 2 mins and my new 3gs will take anywhere from 8 to 10 mins. Is there a problem with the 3.0 firmware or is the problem just my phone?? Any help would be much appreciated!!

I'v been dealing all day on this issue, I upgraded to the 3GS model and my wife still has the 3g, I don't have the fastest network at my house (1.5 meg) but her phone is coming in about 1021kbps and mine is 241, which seem like a big difference, especially when trying to view youtube, apple store just gave me a new phone, and it still has the same problem. I reset it, restored it, replaced it, and after replacing it I did not restore from backup but still have the same issue. I do access internet via a time capsule for whatever thats worth, and I also checked with tech support about that being the problem and we found that to not be the problem. *****, I paid $300 and committed to AT&T for another 2 years, for internet at a quarter of the speed...

IPhone, iPod and iPad to MacBook sync without erasing data

I'm a happy owner of MacBook Pro now.
But I stuck with a problem of transfering my music, playliss, photos, apps and books from my iOS devises (iPhone, iPod and iPad).
I know that iTunes desined to avoid of syncing one devise with two or more computers to keep the copyrights. But I have many media I didn't purchased on iTunes, I had it from my CDs and DVDs. But I've got quite a situation that my old PC broke down and erased all its data. So I can't just sync my old laptop with the new one. So, how to copy files from my iOS devices to my Mac?
Please, help!

If you copied your iTunes library from your Mac to your PC per the instructions included with this link, any music that was purchased from the iTunes store with your iPhone was in your iTunes library on your Mac before being transferred to your PC and the same for any 3rd party apps downloaded/installed direct with your iPhone, and you have authorized the PC with your iTunes account with iTunes, no iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your PC.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Not sure how restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup lost everything on your iPhone - with your iPhone being completely erased of all data unless there was a major problem with your iPhone's backup. No iTunes content on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup, and no photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are included with your iPhone's backup. All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and all photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer.
What isn't working correctly in regards to your MobileMe account exactly after which update?
With Windows, you can sync your MobileMe contacts and calendar events with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010. Do you have Outlook available on your PC and if so, have you downloaded the Windows MobileMe Control Panel to set up syncing Outlook with your MobileMe online calendar and address book?

We have iphones, ipads and ipods attached to one itunes account. Is it possible to prevent the ipods and ipads from receiving texts sent to the iphone? Can we link them to "phantam" email?

We have one itunes store account for all of our apple devices. I am now separated and my kids take their ipods and ipads to my exs. How can I stop my ex from reading my texts? I turned off the home sharing, but they, kids or ex, just turn it on.
Do I have to have separate itune accounts for the other devices or can I create a separate email account and link those devices to that?

Hi, RenegadeK.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This issue would be caused by all your devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your/her/his device if possible. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Once this is done, I would recommend that either you/her/him create a new Apple ID specifically for iMessage and FaceTime here. Then you/her/him would need to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime with the new Apple ID. You can still keep the same Apple ID for purchases. You can also change the password which will essentially disable iMessage for his/her account. You could also just turn iMessage off.

How do I use the same Itunes for both my IPOD and IPAD?

How do i use itunes for both my ipod and ipad? and have everything on both of them.

You can connect one of them to your computer's iTunes, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side select the Music tab and choose what to sync to that device - you can then connect, select and sync the same content to your other device.
