Re using AE as an extender: do I need to choose the 2.4 ghz band to have it work with iPhone?  If so, how do I do that?

I have AT&T Uverse service, so I use my Airport Extreme as an extender.  However, it doesn't seem to have an effect on my iPhone: I can stand right next to the AE and not get a good signal.  I read somewhere that the iPhone only uses the 2.4 ghz band.  If my AE is set to use the 5 ghz band, how would I instruct it to use the 2.4 ghz band?

Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme is not compatible with the Uverse router if you are tying to "extend" using wireless only.
However, it doesn't seem to have an effect on my iPhone: I can stand right next to the AE and not get a good signal.
The Extreme can only "join" a Uverse wireless network...normally for use with an AirPort Express with AirTunes.  The Extreme does not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "joins" a network. That is why you notice no improvement in the wireless signal.
Apple's "extend" setting is a proprietary feature that will only work with other Apple routers. In other words, to have an Apple device "extend a wireless network", you need to have another Apple device providing the wireless network.
If you want the Extreme to provide more wireless coverage, you will need to connect it to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Uverse rotuer with a wired Ethernet connection from the WAN port on the Extreme.

  • I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone. How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

    I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone settings (photos/contacts/messages etc.) How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

    You're welcome.
    First check to be sure the new phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up (Settings>General>About>Version).  If it isn't, you'll need to update the iOS first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the options, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your personal phone to restore to.
    Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • Hii all, I just bought an used iphone 5c from an user and only after a few weeks realised that it got activation locked. He might be unaware of that. Is it possible to get back to him and unlock the device for me as i have not contacts with him presently.

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

    WhyWontThisWork:
    I can definitely how frustrating it must be to not be able to take pictures or even view pictures that have already been taken with your LG Dare.
    Since this problem has started, have you tried to either:
    a.) put that memory card in an alternate phone to see if the pictures can be viewed on there
    b.) use a card reader/adapter in a computer to see if the pictures can be viewed on the computer
    c.) take the memory card out of the phone and then try to take a picture?
    What I am trying to determine is which of the 2 is defective (phone or memory card)
    If you are able to view pictures in another phone, or on the computer , then you may have a bad card. If that is the case, you can transfer the pictures to the computer and then format the memory card by
    Note: This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data.
    From the home screen, touch the menu tab.
    Touch Settings.
    Touch SD card & phone storage.
    Touch Unmount SD card.
    Touch Format SD card.
    Once you have done the formatting, try to take pictures again. If you continue to have problems it more than likely is the phone.
    Also, in order to access PixPlace, log into your MyVerizon account, at the top, you should see "Messaging" go down to "Manage your photo albums" once there, you should see "My Media", however, if you have already received a message advising you that your album would be deleted if you haven't logged on in more than 180 days, all pictures have then most definitely been deleted. Again, we do send warning messages once the online album hasn't been accessed in 150, 175, 180 days respectively prior to deletion.

    I have an iPhone and my partner also has an iPhone. I also have 2 children with iPhones and we are all connected to my iTunes account. When I send an imessage to my partner does it also go to my children's phones? Because we are all using my iTunes account.

    It's not the iTunes account, it's Apple ID that iMessages gets distributed.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • Hi Everyone,  I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

    Hi Everyone,  I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

    I have friends all over Europe, does it matter what number they use to call me? Nope! All incoming calls are free for me.
    The only time you ever have to worry about which number is if you get charged for incoming domestic/international calls.
    You can tag their number (work/home/iphone) and that may show on the CallerID accordingly.
    It should show, John Doe
    underneath,    work/home/mobile
    For example:

  • Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......

    Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......can anyone help, please?!

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • Mac extended desktop mirroring needing to 'split' the sound

    The setup is that I am using my iMac in one room (the study), and I am using airplay to extend the desktop so that my apple TV in the living room is used to play a movie for my parents to watch.
    The sound and video transfers just fine to the apple TV on 'desktop 2', but I was wanting to be able to play a seperate video on my imac, in the study. I can't seperate the sound. Even though the video is on 'desktop 1' on my iMac any video's sound on either screen will be played through the TV speakers as my System preferences only allow me to select 'iMac' or 'apple TV'
    Is there any way to 'split' the sound?

    ""Extended Desktop" and "Dual Display" mean the
    same thing..."
    Actually, they don't. "Dual Display" simply means
    that the computer can support two displays. "Extended
    Desktop" and "Desktop Mirroring" refer to the
    different modes in which the two displays can be
    used. "Extended Desktop" uses both screens as one
    large continuous desktop while "Mirroring" displays
    the same desktop image on both screens.
    O.K. I'm confused.
    Can the Macbook display extended desktop (one giant desktop with half on the laptop and half on an external monitor) or is it limited to just mirroring the same desktop on both displays?
    Thanks,
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

  • I'm using the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac so I can record a meeting as well as take notes. The audio of the internal microphone is so low - can I attach an external mic and have it work with note taking view?

    Can I attach an external mic to my Macbook Air to enhance sound input for the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac? I've tried preferences to up the volume of my sound, but I still cannot hear the recording. Any suggestions? I need to record a meeting as well as take notes so I'd like to use this tool, but the audio is not good enough.

    A USB microphone can work with the Air, and I've used them before with my 11" Air.  Griffin also made a product (the iMic) that will add a standard computer microphone port, connecting to your USB port.  It's heyday was the time of the old iBook laptops (which also lacked a microphone in jack) but I think it's still around.
    The single sound port on the 2011 models, as I recall, supports iPhone style headphone/microphone but I don't believe it will support a standard microphone input. 
    The built in microphone sits on the left side of the computer and I suspect wouldn't work well for picking up a lecture unless you were sitting just right in position vs. the speaker (preferably having the speaker positioned to the left and sitting really close).  By design most laptop microphones presume they are going to be mainly used to record a sound coming from the person sitting at the keyboard, while for a lecture you normally would prefer it concentrate on sound coming from behind the screen.
