Multiple iOS devices one has no internet

I have an iPhone, (2) iPads, Macbook Pro all in the same room. All show connection to the Wi-Fi network with good signl. My iPad1 also shows connection to the wifi network but when i try to connect to the internet, I get an error message saying "This webpage not available....error 105 (net:ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resolve the server's DNS address." I have tried turning it on and off, updating software to no avail. Any ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
- 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
- 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
- 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
All updated apps, software etc..
What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

Same here for over a year now.
You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
No problem
I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???

Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac

May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.

Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX.

Please help - multiple IOS devices, Apple ID's and synching

I have an iPhone and an iPad Mini that belong to me. Two of my kids have iPod Touch and soon a third will have one. So there are multiple iOS devices in the family, two of which are used only by me. Up to this point I've been managing them on one laptop running one iTunes library. I've made various playlists for the kids music, and I gave them each the specific games they wanted, and I put the games I wanted on my devices....certain games for the iPhone and larger, more involved games for the iPad Mini. I don't put music on the iPad because I only use music on my iPhone. So all 4 devices have a different selection of games, apps, and music on them. I've purchased everything with one apple ID....mine, and set each device up with it. Only I know the password so if one of the kids wants something, they still have to bring their device to me so I can put the password in for that purchase.
What I'd like to do is separate my kids apple ID's from mine. This way, they can use their apple ID's to sign up for other services, have their own saved game data in the cloud, etc. I'm running into situations where my son and I play the same game, but we keep overwriting each other's game progress because it's stored to my apple ID. But I still want to be able to control their purchasing, so I figured I'd have to attach my credit card to their new ID's as well, but just not give them the password, so they still will have to come to me to punch in the password to download something. But hopefully with this new setup, they'll have their own saved game progress that won't interfere with mine, even if we play some of the same games.
But how will this work if we synch them off my laptop? I don't want to get into creating separate libraries or anything like that, and I'd still like to be able to download some apps using iTunes and put them on the devices manually if I need to.
What is your recommendation on how to handle this??? How will it work exactly?

You can do anything you want with one iTunes, but:
Devices names must be different.
Don't sync anything under "Info" tab like Contacts Calendars etc. These info must be synced over iCloud. (Use a different Apple ID for each device)
Use the Same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores settings in all iOS devices.

Multiple iOS devices on same apple id

I have a an iPad and two iPhones on the same apple ID. Unfortunately iMessage and face time show I am taking with myself. Is there a way to separate the communication to sub accounts or by device? I would like to keep control of the apple ids as a child is involved.
Perhaps there is a recommended way of setting up multiple devices for a family, maybe a KB article?
Thank you.

Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

You can share a library with as many devices as you want but they cannot have seperate subsets like you wish. They would all have access to all information in the library. You could "Manually" sync content to each device by doing the following:
On Mac: iTunes > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
On Pc: Edit > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
To manually sync data from iTunes to devices see article below:
 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
If you do not want all devices to have access to all the media from the main library, you would need to create a library for each device. See the article below for more info:

Hope this helps.

Our household has one Macbook Pro & Multiple iOS devices.

My wife has an iPad and iPhone and I have an iPhone. We have separate Apple and iTunes ids. I want to safely backup my wife's data w/o losing anything or merging our data. She hadn't backed up her iPhone or iPad or done any of the updates for 3 months because she'd reached the 5 GB limit on iCloud. There were a lot of pictures and videos from a trip home to New Zealand and my daughter's graduation from college that had not been backed up. Last weekend I read some articles on the internet that said iCloud did not back up videos and suggested using both iCloud and iTunes. I tried iTunes with my iPhone and all went well. Then I attached my wifes iPhone and had two choice 1) new iPhone or 2) restore. I didn't know what option 1 meant so like a fool I chose restore (terrible mistake) and everything in her phone was deleted and replace with a duplicate of my iPhone.
Needless to say I'm in the doghouse in major way! Even so, I still need to know how to safely backup her iPhone and iPad. I bought the additional 20G of iCloud space after getting her phone back the way it was as of the last backup 3 months ago. But that still doesn't help me save videos. And, I'd like to be able to save everything to a stand along hard drive just in case the iCloud backup fails or her devices stop working. I'm able to use Time Machine to back up my laptop to an external drive so one thought is to somehow get her pictures and videos onto my laptop so I could do a Time Machine backup. I don't know if that's possible or the best solution.
Sorry for the long story but I need to know how to do this this safest, easiest and best way. Right now I'm afraid to hook her iPad or iPhone up to my Macbook Pro for fear I'll lose everything yet again.
Thanks,
Jeffery Scott

victoryhat is spot on, on your Mac you should each have your own user account with your own accounts and data files.

My family has multiple iOS devices, all with 1 Apple ID. With iCloud coming, should I create separate Apple IDs for each member of my family?

Hello,
Between my family, we have 2 iPhones, multiple computers, iPads, and an Apple TV ALL tied in to the same Apple ID (the one I created when I got my first device). With iCloud coming, I wanted to know if I need to create separate Apple IDs for each family member (for emails, contacts, calendars, etc.). For instance, I would like to share certain contacts and a calendar with only my wife, all media between all family members, and have home sharing so that I can play/stream content on my Apple TV. Will there be a way to have multiple and distinct me.com accounts and yet share the same Apple ID?
Apologies for being verbose — just wanted to give ample info/background.
Thanks,
Jay.

I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response..

Can you sync multiple IOS devices to one Mac?

Is it possible to sync, say, both an iPod Touch (or iPhone) AND an iPad to the same user account on one Mac? I assume it must be possible, otherwise what would folks with an iPod/iPhone and an iPad do?
What are the caveats, if any?
How about two different IOS devices associated with the same MobileMe user account? Any issues there?

No problem with any of this at all, including mobile me
You can choose different sync options for each device if you wish, and MobileMe can be set up on multiple devices with no problems, they will all keep in sync with each other.

Household with one Mac, Multiple iOS Devices

So, We have One iMac 10.7.3, iTunes 10.5.3.; or rather we are buying our First iMac. Our iphones' have not been synched, No iCloud yet, etc. All info is on our iPhones, Pictures, Contacts, etc. Obviously there is information unique to each iPhone How does my wife sync her iPhone with her new i iTunes Library, Once she sets it up with iTunes. Since after booting up Virgin iMac the iTunes Library will be be empty. Could this cause the Empty iTunes Library to delete Songs, etc from the iphones.
Instead of having Multiple user Accounts, ie Home Folder; is it possible to have Multiple iTunes Accounts and Libraries?
I am sure this has been discussed before, etc. Just unable to find the correct info. Procedures and advice is greatly appreciated

If you sync to a blank computer, then the iphones will be erased.
Copy everything from the old computer(s) to the new one.

Same itunes library, multiple ios devices from different people?

before anything, let me tell u that i followed the advice here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
and i lost all 3rd party apps and app data on my dad's ipad.
we have two ipads at home. the one belonging to my dad was never synced to an itunes library ever! it was set up as new right from the ipad. now, to install ios 7 on it i followed the instructions above and 'made a new library' in my user accound on the mac. my dad doesn't have any user account on our home mac as he never uses the computer at home.
so then i 'backedup' everything from my dad's ipad to the library and then updated it. upon restoring it brought back everything inside the bundled ios apps but the 3rd party apps and its data was gone!!!
i disticntly remember 'syncing' it before restoring it but itunes 11.1 didn't 'transfer' the purchases on its own. i should had known. now my dad has lost considerible data like saved articles in various news apps, game data, etc...
i dont know what to do. i dont know of this is reversible but if i could atleast know the best way to manage ios devices from multiple users with ONE ITUNES LIBRARY, that would be great!
Neerav

is this a bug or by design to not transfer purchases during sync?

Gamecenter sync with multiple ios-devices

My grandparents have 3 ios-devices: 2 ipads and an iphone. They all use the same apple-id. Grandmother plays a game on her ipad and iphone that syncs with gamecenter. Grandfather has the game on his ipad but its 'empty' since he doesnt play. The iphone keeps on asking to be synced with gamecenter.
My questions:
1. If we sync the iphone, with what game will it sync? The empty one on granddads ipad or the correct one on grandmas ipad?
2. Is it a solution to delete the game from grandpas ipad (and remove it from gamecenter)?
3. Since the iphone hasnt been synced for awhile, there is currently an old version of the game on the iphone. If i delete granddads game from his ipad/gamecenter, how do i know that the iphone will get the version of the ipad and not the other way around?

What is synched in Game Center depends on what the app developers have included. Some are just achievements, some sync game progress, some both among other things.
If they both primarily use one device, why don't you just create a separate Apple ID for Grandpa? They can still share apps rather than buying new one for him by doing this...
Assuming both Grandma and Grandpa have their own Apple IDs and Grandma's was used to purchase apps. Continue to use ONLY the one Apple ID to purchase apps so they can be shared.
Log into both devices in Settings > iTunes and App Stores using Grandma's Apple ID. This will allow all purchased apps to run on both devices.
For Facetime, iCloud, Game Center and Messages, let each of them log in using their own Apple ID. Those are located in...
Settings > Game Center
Settings > Facetime
Settings > Messages
Settings > iCloud

Why does restoring an iOS device kill my home internet connection?

I never noticed this happening before iOS 5. Every time I restore an iOS device (iPhone 4, 4S and iPad 1), all goes well up until I click 'restore from backup', then iTunes starts chugging away like normal but my internet connection drops. I checked other devices in the house and they lose their internet connection as well. If I shut off the modem and router for two minutes, the internet connection comes right back.
This happens if I try the restore from a Win7 Dell desktop connected via ethernet and when I try it from a Compaq Win7 laptop via wifi.
I'm not sure if Comcast is throttling connections to iTunes or what. The iOS software downloads fine (800 MB in 11 minutes). Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal but I'm worried what kind of effect losing internet midway through a restore process might have on the device.

IOS devices not connecting to Internet while MacBooks does

Hi,
I'm in the process of closing my Verizon Internet and testing a Comcast service. Before unplugging my Time Capsule from the Verizon adsl modem I made sure that all worked ok with the Comcast cable connection. My MacBook worked right away through Ethernet and so it did through wifi when plugging the TC to the Comcast modem. The problem came on our iOS devices, 2 iPhones and 2 iPads, as they did recognize the network but could not connect to Internet.
I called Comcast customer care but as expected they wash their hands as I have Internet on my computer...
Any advise? Is there something else I need to activate?
Thanks
Pablo

Change the names to short no spaces no special characters. For wireless and the TC.
Lock the wireless to on a/n - b/g
Then fix the channel for 2.4ghz.. 1, 6, 11
Those measures usually get the iphone working .. ipad should work also.

HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address. If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.
