is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3. There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x. -
Can I use my several-years-old IMac OS 10.4 to set up a wireless router, such as Aiport Base, so I can have wifi for the iPhone I plan to buy. My IMac is not wife capable.
Yes, Airport Express Base Station connected to your Mac by ethernet will work as a bridge. Or you can connect the AE directly to your router/modem by ethernet if it's a non-wi-fi router and it will act as a relay for that.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue. -

Will the iphone 5 have better Bluetooth capability?
All current iPhones are very limited. Specifically my car will notify me of new SMS and read SMS out loud with most smart phones but not with any iPhone because of their limited Bluetooth file transfer capability. I've seen lots of posts complaining that phones from 2004 had better Bluetooth functionality. Are Apple going to do anything to address this? I'm guessing not.
I think it's pretty good now:

Is the iPhone capable of 3G as built?
Hi I heard the iPhone doesn't have 3G because Steve Jobs felt it drained the battery too fast. I just wondered if there are any experts out there who know if the current iPhone was restricted to Edge because of the firmware programing or is it a hardware issue? If it's just the firmware I as a customer would vote to have to charge my phone more often if it could be reprogramed to use 3G.
Is there any way to get Apple to take a survey if this is so to switch it to 3G?
I think I'll ask that in the feedback section if it's a firmware issue.The current iPhone does not have the necessary 3G chipset in it.

Does the iPhone 5 support Sprint's 4G Wimaxx?
this is the answer i got from an Apple Support representative before he disappeared without saying anything:
Now Chatting with Kaeleb
Hi, welcome to the US Apple Online Store. How are you?
does the iphone 5 work on sprints 4g wimaxx and 4g lte?
Yes it sure does, the iPhone is designed to run Sprints network wherever you have it available.
i was told by a sprint representative that the iphone 5 is only capable of supporting their 3G or 4G LTE and doesn't supoort their 4G wimaxx
Then that information is correct
Our iPhone is designed to run whatever network the carrier allows for, if they have features not offered specifically they would be the ones with that information. The network information comes from the carrier.
yes but is the phone capable of it? it either has the antenna to connect to it or not
All iPhones have antennas to connect to a cellular network, the type of network it connects to is determined by the service provider, in your case Sprint.
I haven't heard from you for a few moments. Would you like to continue chatting?
your not giving me useful answers
I am giving you accurate information
Wether its useful or not, the information your looking for comes from Sprint.
there are specific antennas and frequencies that must be used depending on what you're trying to connect to
And since you have already discussed this with them, I have no idea why you are here asking us about something Sprint has already clarified for you.
your the company that designs and manufactures thephone
Your not getting it. As you said, we make the phone.
With an Antenna
The type of network* is determined by the service provider.
because prior to ever speaking with sprint one of your apple representatives gave me information contradicting that
4G, 4GLTE etc, all made up by the carriers to determine their networks.
what im asking is: is the iphone 5 made to be compatible with 4g wimaxx
whether or not sprint allows it to be
I get what your asking but your not quite understanding the answer. The iPhone is made compatible to connect to cellular network. Apple does not have information regarding which network types it will connect to, its designed to work on a GSM or CDMA network, the network strength which is 4G etc, is determined by the carrier. Here at Apple we have nothing to do with that.
We don't make iPhones designed specifically for 4G, 4G LTE, 4g wimaxx or any other network. Its made to run on a GSM or CDMA type network.
you manufacture 3 different iPhone that have specific antennas radio frquencies based on which carrier its going to be activated on
From the your carrier determines the compatibility.
Thats not true
We manufacture 2 types as I told you
GSM and CDMA
Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA
a verizon iphone cant be used on sprints network and vice versa because the use different frequencies
both cdma but different
like the differnence between wimaxx and lte
Not true, its because the phones are locked to the carriers services. It has nothing to do with Antennas, I am not sure where you are getting your information but if you can show me on our website where it says anything about 3 different Antennas then I would understand where you are coming from.
Let me get you the number to our technical support team so that we can find a resolution to this issue. 800-APL-CARE(800-275-2273)
one moment and i will
I am a sales chat and here to assist customers with the online store, I am not going to be able to leave this chat open for you to contact technical support.
i already spoke to them
Ok great, do you have any online sales questions I can answer for you?
they weren't able to give me an answer and aid to look online
I find that hard to believe, this team knows for a fact and are the experts they would never direct anyone to go online for that information. You may have spoke with customer service. You need to call technical support from the number I just have you.
well they did
GSM model A1428*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 2, 4, 5, 17) CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25) GSM model A1429*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5)
This is a final warning to stop this type of response. If this conversation is not kept on a professional level, this chat will end.
thats from your site
you asked me to show you thats what i did
You can call technical support but I need to assist customers with their purchases today.
i have been nothing but professional
i am a customer
i own a macbook air and mac mini
as well as 4th gen ipod touch and an old iphone 3gs
Great, this is a sales chat.
and this is how youre going to treat me?
I have helped you to the best of my ability, your in the wrong department
All I am doing is getting you to the correct team, because obviously you have not been given the information your looking for.
well you helped me as much as your so called technical support that youre trying to refer me to. even though i already stated they werent able to help me
I guarantee you didn't speak with the technical support team. There is no way they would send a customer online to seek that information, they are well aware that the online store chat is for online sales assistance. I am not going to continue to argue with you. This chat is not going anywhere with this back and forth. If you want assistance you will call our technical support team.
800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
thats who i spoke to at 10:03
put me on hold several times and said he was unsure and for me to look online
in your chat community
Then I would suggest calling back because for whatever reason the agent you spoke with the last time must not have been an Apple trained technicians, as they get this question plenty and know the answer.
Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat us again.
You are currently not in a chatAll the information you need is right here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment. -
Configuring the iPhone and your environment for wireless corporate email
I'm posting this as a top level thread, because I'm certain that there are others out there, who like me, are trying to figure this out.
Configuring the iPhone for Enterprise Use
With Apple’s release of the iPhone, IT organizations are presented with an interesting challenge. Senior execs, gadget heads, and technoratti are all flocking to this device, heralded as the be all and end all of smartphone telecommunications technology. As these devices begin to flood into our organizations, we are met with the challenge to ‘make it work’.
After much explaining that the iPhone is not intended for Enterprise integration, and many discussions surrounding the technical feasibility of bringing said devices into the fold, and being the resident Mac and Linux head with an iPhone in hand, I decided to embark on the mission of making one ‘work’. I succeeded in part, however it’s not the kind of ‘work’ that is going to be viable for most end users.
First of all, it’s important to understand that the email client for the iPhone is a modified version of Mac’s Mail program. Not the best client in the world, but it does support Exchange integration. It also does external email sources, such as Yahoo and gMail, very well. For my interest though, I’m focusing on the Exchange integration functionality, as that is just about everyone’s corporate standard.
Bringing this task to fruition requires some understanding about the limitations of the iPhone, as well as some of its current quirks. Wireless802.11x, EDGE, VPN and Mail are all components necessary to provide a serviceable solution for mobile email access, and each of these things has some peculiarities that don’t appear to be fully worked out by Apple at this time.
For instance, within my organization, we have a secured wireless connectivity option available within our building; however, the SSID of this network is not broadcast, for the obvious reasons. SO, connecting the iPhone to it is a manual process of defining the network, and automatic reconnection seems to be very hit or miss, so it becomes far less of an option for any form of direct network access to your Exchange environment. (As an example, I had to redefine that network, on the iPhone, at least half a dozen times during this process.)
The other components have equally quirky issues, and I will discuss the how’s to get around them below.
In coordinating this into a cohesive plan however, I will break this into three sections;
1. Wireless and EDGE connectivity
2. VPN access to your network
3. Connecting to Exchange
So, without further ado;
Wireless and EDGE Connectivity
The wireless capabilities of the iPhone are, on the surface at least, excellent. It connects seamlessly to unsecured networks, offers the option of prompted or unprompted automatic connectivity, and is capable of 802.11G performance. Not bad for such a small package. However, it is very limited in the forms of secure network access it supports. These are, to quote Apple’s website; (and my iPhone)
WEP Password
WEP hex or ASCII
WPA (personal)
WPA2 (personal)
Now, due to the obvious security problems in implementing WEP security, it’s likely that any network you run into is going to be WPA or WPA2. The iPhone ONLY supports the personal versions of these protocols, so be aware of this going into the situation. If you’re not connecting to your work or school wireless, and you’re entering the information correctly, then it’s probably because they have the Enterprise version of one of the protocols enabled. If that is the case, then you’re either hunting for unsecured hotspots, or else depending on EDGE.
In my case, I did have access to a WPA2 (Personal) enabled wireless signal to connect to my internal network. I thought my problem was half solved! I defined the connection, the wireless capability of the phone worked perfectly, and I was connected. I was wrong. Apparently, and judging from the Mac forums I’m not alone in this, the iPhone does not do a very good job of RE-connecting to a secured wireless network. It does an even worse job, when this is coupled with the fact that it doesn’t do a very good job reconnecting to a wireless network with an unpublished SSID.
After much fiddling and research into this, I determined that this simply was not the way to go, and I abandoned the idea. I wasn’t about to compromise my network security in order to get this silly phone working! So, that left me with either unsecured WiFi, or EDGE.
Either one of these connects pretty seamlessly, and gives me a relatively decent Internet connection. There are some issues being reported of the iPhone swapping between EDGE and WiFi for not apparent reason, but that said, it can still be made to work.
Now that I had this connection outside of my network, I obviously had to consider options for getting a secured connection into my network, which of course leads us to;
VPN Access Into Your Network
Being that this device was touted as the ‘real internet’ I was very excited to see if I could achieve this connection through my SSL VPN appliance. To make a long story short, I could not. Because Apple’s idea of the ‘Real Internet’ apparently does not include those wacky concepts like Java support, this proved to be impossible. My Apple cohorts will scream that it does support JavaScript, but we all know that that and 2 bucks will get you a small coffee at Starbucks… and not much more.
(The iPhone also does not support Flash, but that’s a topic for another conversation. I know, how could they leave that out? I’m amazed too, but then Steve Jobs always has been a bit too arrogant for his own good… I mean what does he expect, we’re all going to rewrite everything into QuickTime??? Please.)
Since that option didn’t work, I was left with the wide selection of two possibilities provided within the iPhone software. Either, a PPTP or L2TP VPN tunnel.
We went ahead and configured a PPTP connection on one of our Cisco routers in order to test this. It didn’t work. I couldn’t connect to it. Tried and tried. Nada. SOOOO, we said OK, and configured a L2TP connection on one of our Cisco routers, with similar results.
Figuring that this was something in the config, we called Cisco, and did the technical support dance with them for several days, trying one thing after another to get this connection to actually work. Nothing helped, and it never worked using either protocol. Then, I noticed an obscure article somewhere on some website that said something to the effect that getting one of these tunnels to work from the iPhone to Cisco was nigh on impossible.
About the same time, my senior network guy said screw it, let’s put this on a Microsoft server. And so we did. Now, this is interesting in it’s own right, because configuring out of the box L2TP or PPTP on a Microsoft server results in a default authentication method of Windows Authentication. This does not work for the iPhone, because it has no idea what to do with the Windows security token it receives. So, you authenticate, and then are immediately dropped due to an inability to communicate with the PPP server.
Fortunately, we (as do most organizations) have a Radius server. We selected Radius authentication, configured both sides of the Radius authentication setup properly, and launched the PPTP tunnel…. AND…. EUREKA!!! The iPhone’s VPN software connected, authenticated, got an IP, and I was on the network! Well, no.
After about 2 seconds, I realized that while I did indeed have a connection, I couldn’t do anything with it. Couldn’t even browse to an internal site via IP address. The connection was up, the connection was working, the connection was useless.
So, we decided to give L2TP a shot. Configured it pretty much identically to the PPTP setup, used Radius, launched the iPhone client, and finally, after many days of screwing around, it worked. Now all I needed was to get my email working, so I started working on;
Connecting to Exchange
In the Mail program on the iPhone, the first time you launch it, you’re presented with the ability to configure an email source. However on subsequent or additional accounts, you must go under Settings, Mail to get to this functionality.
Going into the Mail configuration, I selected an additional account, the account type is, of course, Exchange. The configuration components are pretty obvious, however some things of note are;
Do NOT include your domain information in the User Name field
For all Host Names, use the fully qualified domain name of the server, or else IP
You WILL need to have SMTP enabled somewhere in order to send email
Anyway, I set all this up, and nothing happened. It said that my server was not responding. Did a little research, and it turns out that the only way to connect to Exchange is through an IMAP4 connection, and just in case you didn’t know, IMAP4 is disabled by default, so you have to enable and configure it.
Went onto the Exchange server, set the service to Auto, Started the listener, and finally, at long last, EUREKA! I finally had Corporate email on my iPhone, connecting securely, and not sending anything plain text anywhere. Hooray!
Now for the problems with this solution;
First of all, it depends upon VPN access into your environment, something that you may or may not be comfortable with. One good thing is that the iPhone does prompt for password to reconnect, and will tie the continuity of the VPN connection into the general phone lock security, such that an inability to provide the appropriate access code to a locked phone results in the VPN not being accessible.
The VPN of course is dependant upon a reliable network connection. I’ve noticed that it’s somewhat graceful in switching between WiFi and EDGE, however it’s not totally graceful, and you can experience some hinky things, like being able to send and not receive, or the mail client saying ‘Connecting’ for about 5 minutes before it figures things out.
The best cure for this is to simply stop and restart the VPN connection. Note that when you reconnect, the first attempt will prompt you for a numeric password, this is meaningless unless you have the device lock turned on. Just enter anything. (I think this is another bug) THEN it will re-prompt you for your real VPN password.
This solution for email delivery is obviously dependant upon the VPN connection being active. I’ve noticed that at times the iPhone will disconnect the VPN (probably when service switching) and not bother to mention it. When that happens, of course the VPN must be restarted.
For the lazy, this is an inconvenient solution because while it would appear that the iPhone will cache the VPN password, in fact it will not. That means that each re-launch requires that you re-enter your password. Not terrible for me, but I could see it being very tedious for the average corporate user.
The OSX Mail client has several little deficiencies, which may or may not impact your use of the device in this manner. For instance, if you have subfolders defined for your inbox, and server side rules to move mail into them, then you will not see any synchronization of that mail until you actually select the subfolder. Also, since there is such poor management of attachments and downloads, moving anything around via email on this device is nigh on impossible.
EDGE access to your corporate email, via a VPN, is a bit sloooooow. It works, it’s certainly fast enough for my purposes, but it’s not the slick quick access that we’ve all become accustomed to with Blackberry and Good devices. The lack of 3G support becomes a very noticeable shortcoming here.
(Why Apply didn’t simply partner with Good Technologies to crank out a client for this thing, I’ll never understand, but I guess you can refer to my comment above about certain people’s arrogance.)
The biggest problem of all of course is that it’s simply klugey. I hate klugey. But, with the capabilities at this device’s disposal, and given Apple’s ambitious, if a bit idiotic, stance that no third party will develop software for the iPhone, then this is about as good as it’s going to get for now.
It is my understanding that overseas there is some initiative underway to provide a more seamless Visto or Synchronica integration for enterprise email. However, given Apple’s unbelievably restrictive agreement with ATT regarding this device and the OTA necessity of delivering the client, I seriously doubt if we’ll see this in the near future in the US.
But I digress, so…
In Conclusion
This solution is not for the faint of heart, it doesn’t work all that well, and it has way too many moving parts that are subject to failure. However, I would say that this solution is serviceable for the corporate technology professional who needs email, and really, REALLY wants the other features of the iPhone. (ie, phone whores such as me.) It requires patience, it requires an understanding that this is not a 100% thing, and there definitely needs to be a prebuilt expectation that this device will not serve your email in anything approaching the manner to which you’ve become accustomed.
As long as all of that is okay though, then go right ahead, set it up, and enjoy!
The Short Version;
(I put this at the end because I want everyone to feel my pain!)
Wireless:
Use unsecured wireless or EDGE. Secured wireless may be serviceable as long as the SSID is broadcast, but there are known issues with this.
VPN:
L2TP, shared secret, running on Microsoft server, with Radius. (May work elsewhere, but doesn’t seem to run on Cisco at all) Accounts enabled for external access.
Exchange:
Configure IMAP4 Virtual Server on your Exchange environment, ensure that you have some SMTP resource for outbound email, use fully qualified domain names for all servers (or IP) in the mail config and do not include any domain prefix or suffix for user accounts.

Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) iphoneThanks, now I understand why the wifi keeps dropping. On my personal wireless network, it also seems the distance from the access point is not good compared to my laptop. At work our network & exchange teams don't seem to have the desire to struggle with this "toy" until customers start forcing its adoption. I am using OWA and it works fine over EDGE. I will share your posting with them.
