Macbook blazes at 30mps while all devices (iPhone, iPad) lag at 5-9mps on dual band network
Macbook pro is late 2011 model
I have experienced this problem on both a late 2011 Airport Extreme and a brand new one (2014)
I have manually changed channels on BOTH 5Ghz and 2.5Ghz, cycling through all the available channels
I have switched devices to use the 5Ghz only, 2.5Ghz only, automatic -- same problem on all configurations
Macbook blazes at 30mps (my service provider speed) on any configuration (5Ghz, 2.5Ghz, automatic mode)
It doesn't make sense that all handheld devices are going slow while the older Macbook Pro is experiencing the fastest speed. Also, I was surprised that the brand new Airport Extreme made no difference. I have used channels that are not in use by surrounding neighbors; no change. I can't think of anything that could be causing this only in my devices. Thoughts?
The MacBook has a larger and much better wireless antenna than any mobile device could ever hope to have.
Your performance is similar to what I get on a similar connection, unless I move the mobile devices 8-10 feet away from the router with clear line of sight. Then, I can sometimes get 15-18 Mbps on the iPad. The iPhone never gets much above 12-13 Mbps at the same location.
If you are near an Apple store, it might be interesting to take the iPhone and iPad down there to see how the connection looks. But then again, you will likely be connecting to professional Cisco wireless routers at the Apple Store.

Airplay works with macbook but don't with iOS devices (iPhone, iPad)
I have 2 airport expresses, I can play music over airplay in both with my macbook, but one of them ONLY works with tha macbook... I try to stream music from my iPad or iPhone over Airplay to this airport, but it does not work, I can connect to it, but when it plays there's no sound, different from my macbook, that I can easily stream music over Airplay, to this Airport.
Resume: My iOS devices stream music over airplay with ONE of my TWO airport expresses, in the other one OLNY my macbook can stream music.
P.S. Both my iPhone and iPad are on the lasted software.Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices. -
All of a sudden I am unable to access my college email from any of my apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro). I am able to get access from my husband's HP windows laptop and from a Mac at the college. Any ideas?

In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help. Expect to pay for it. -
"I have a 5th generation airpot extreme. All of my wifi devices (iPhone, iPad, macbook) worked fine until the other day when everything but my laptop stopped receiving a wifi signal. I shut down my Mac, unplugged the modem, router, let sit for 10 seconds, started it up and 'presto' everything worked. Then yesterday all but the macbook stopped receiving wifi again. I tried the same scenario as the other day but nothing. I reset the airport extreme to factory settings and still nothing. Is the airport extreme not working?
If it was not working the Mac would not get a signal. Restart the IOS devices and reconnect to the network

Hi All, I have the latest version of iTunes, however since upgrading I can no longer get iTunes to recognise that any devices (iPhone / iPad) are connected? Can anyone help please. Paul
Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
Please let us know which approach works for you...

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

There was some updayts for my iPad 4 automatically downloaded. After installing it, the iPad began to restart itself every few minutes.
I tryed to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro, where is installed all latest software, iPad is recognised as "iPad", Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error occured (3). Tried many times, not results. And now iPad stays only in recovery mode, can't switch it off. How can I solve this problem please?When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

Outlook 2010 with Time Warner as my internet provider. Had to switch from POP3 to IMAP and now when I receive messages and delete them from my phone they delete from my server, Outlook and iPad.
I want to keep them on my desktop in Outlook so I have them and I want to delete them from my phone so I'm not using up space.
I have tried changing the settings on my phone - deleted items go to trash and that worked one time then when I deleted another message it deleted on all devices.
HELP!The iOS mail app does not have localized folders (and frankly I don't know of any third party apps that do either).

I tried this and it still deleted it everywhere.
Tried what exactly, what what expectation and what out come?
Outlook on Mac and windows, when not used with an exchange mail system, typically allows for creating local folders (or at least used to). Once you move a message into a local folder, you can delete it from the server. It will then only appear on the desktop computer. You do have to make sure what you are creating and using is a local (on this machine) folder.
However, unless you have sizable attachments - and choose to download then - email messages will not use substantial storage space on an iOS device.

This makes no sense to me why they would set it up like that. I can't believe that people don't want to save e-mails on one device and keep them on another device. Have to wonder who came up with this not so great idea!
Actually IMAP (and exchange, for that matter) is specifically and intentionally design to do just the opposite. The vast majority of user want their mail inboxes to be consistent across all access devices. You are very much in the minority. -
Apple Id for Mutiple devices (IPhone / IPAD and Apple note book)
is it preferable to ahve the same apple ID and email address for both my divices (IPhone and my Apple book computer ?) or it is recommended to have a seperate one for each device ?
Yes it is preferable to use only one Apple ID for al Apple devices you own. In fact I think it is mandatory. Otherwise you can't sync all devices with iCloud and sign into the respective App stores at the same time.
Having more than one Apple ID becomes extremely confusing for you and Apple. -
Can no longer delete multiple emails from any device (iPhone/iPad)
I have updated software on all my devices iPhone 4S, iPad 2, Ipad3. I have attempted to delete multiple items by selecting the edit button and then selecting the desired emails to discard. After selecting only a couple of emails the emails to be deleted are unselected automatically and I can not delete them. Even when I attempt to swipe right to left if I am not fast enough my option to send to trash is unselected (automatically again) and I can not delete it. I have attempted a reset without successful resolution of the problem. Email inboxes are stacking up. Any assistance is appreciated.
Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

My devices iphone, ipad and itouch Cannot connect to itunes store?
My iphone, ipad and itouch are not able to get into itunes store. It says cannot connect to itunes store.
This started happening when I had to change my apple user id to an email address. This is what has been causing problems with others. I called apple tech support & received help fixing it before, but it didn't permanently correct the problems. I had to go through all these steps that took over 45 minutes. Can't remember the steps so I will be on the phone with them again to try & resolve

I devices - Iphone, Ipad connection speed very slo...
Has anyone any advice on how to maximise the connection speed between Iphones, Ipads etc... with the BT Home Hub 4. The broadband speed to the house seems fine (7mbs DL). and any PC or MAC wireless device has great wifi connection. BUT I simply have awful connection with any I device. They seem to hang on any wifi demand. I cant even listen to LBC!
I have contacted BT - but no advice given. I did not have this wifi issue with SKy - but moved as BB to house was traffic managed.
CheersIf that doesn't work try g
iving the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies different SSids. Just add a 5 to the end of the 5Ghz SSid so you know which is which. Check the 5 GHz Sync with 2.4 GHz: is set to NO.
Once you have done that "forget" the connection and then restart the phone and ipad and log onto both. They should then automatically switch to the strongest signal.
You'll need to connect your other devices that can use both frequencies to both SSids if you want them to be able to use both frequencies.

A friend of mine has an iPhone with a cellular data plan, a Macbook Pro, and a mini-iPad. She's been using Facetime, but says that all of the devices used to ring at the time of an incoming Facetime call. Now only her iPhone rings. How do you set whichever device you want to ring?
James: I agree. Please keep them shorter.
The answers to both questions are no.
The iPad is NOT a computer replacement. It is a mobile device.
The iPad can not stream tro the iPhone nor an iPod.
Hope this helps.... -
