Slow speeds on iOS devices but not on Macbook Air

Have 2 iPads in the house together with 2 iPhones - 1 iPhone still has iOS 6 as a comparison - all the other devices have iOS 7.
Problem is download speeds for all these devices. whilst I get 10-12 mbps on Macbook Air over Wi-Fi, all of the above devices only achieve 3--5mpbs.
Have tried renaming SSID, rebooting router etc but no improvement.
There is no difference between any of the iOS devices in terms of spec. etc.
This has only happened in the last couple of months. I have a speedtest result from the start of October which shows 10+ mbps on iPad, so there was no problem back then.
Any thoughts gratefully received

Thanks Texas
I had seen these posts and don't have WMM or QoS on my modem. Have tried making the changes to G and N but this doesn't make much difference.
I was on another wifi network today with the iphone and there was no problem on that, so I know it's something to do with my set up

Thanks

  • My iphone is backing up to icloud but not my macbook air nor my iMac. Any ideas?

    My iphone is backing up to icloud but not my macbook air nor my iMac. Any ideas?

    I use Time Machine with an external HD.  That seems to do what I need.  Others also recommend an second EHD with a bootable clone of your boot drive and use a 3rd party app like Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, Synk Pro, etc. to keep the clone up to date.
    In addition to Time Machine I have a hard drive that I keep key files backed up with Synk Pro which does incremental backups, i.e. copying only those new or modified files.  For other candidates for the cloning and backup apps to go MacUpdate.com and search for "file backup" and "clone".

  • Hp d110a prints blurry from any iOS device, but not from any other kind of device.

    My D110a prints blurry...almost like a shadow...when printing via AirPrint on any iOS device, but if I print from other devices, or just print a report, it prints correctly. I have attempted to search on the device's control panel (both on the device and web-based) to see if there is a print setting, and I will also check my router.
    Does anyone know why this would be happening? I have access to another HP ePrint All-In-One at my job, and my iPad prints fine to that printer.
    Thanks much,
    Chris

    Hello Choirguy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when printing from Apple Devices with the AirPrint driver it prints blurry. We know it is not the HP Photosmart D110a, as you can print reports from the front panel with no problem and all other Operating systems are fine and print correctly. Please let me know the following:
    1. Is the D110a connected directly to a wall outlet, without power strips or surge protectors connected?
    2. What other devices are you able to successfully print from, and how are they connected USB or Wireless>
    3. Do you have any software installed on the devices that are able to print from?
    I will watch for your reply, so we can continue.
    Thanks,

  • ICloud syncs to iOS devices but not OSX devices on my home network.

    While setting up Photostream, I discovered that iCloud does not seem to push to OSX devices, but it does to iOS devices.
    For example, I set up Aperture on my MacPro.  I enabled Photostream on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac.  When I take a photo on my iPhone, Photostream automatically pulls it to my iPad.  On my Mac, nothing happens.  All devices are on the same network.
    Looking more into this, I tested my iCal sync, and that also does not push.  I can "Refresh" the calendars and it finds them, but it will not push.
    It is important to know...
    1.  My mac WILL sync Photostream if I disable and re-enable it, or if I disconnect my internet and reconnect it.  It just doesnt automatically sync - even after hours.
    2.  My brother came over with his MacBook Pro and iPhone.  His MacBook Pro has the exact same behavior as mine.
    3.  I have tried:
         -Creating a new user on my computer and trying there.
         -Opening up router port 5223 and set it to forward to my MacPro.  No success.
         -Using iPhoto to sync Photostream - no go.
         -Resetting Photostream.
    Please help!!!  This issue defeats the entire purpose of Photostream for me!
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Yes this worked perfectly, there is a tense moment when all your calendar appointments disappear, but once you sign and restart calendar, they all reappear.
    Thanks Csound1!

  • HT204150 icloud syncing works fine between iOS devices, but not to iCloud online and to my macbook...

    I have all my devices set up with the same iCloud id.  Though, when I create a new contact on my iPhone, it syncs to my iPad, but not to my macbook, and not to www.icloud.com.
    Is anyone having similar problems ?

    If I go to the My Account Settings (clicking on my name on the Home page of iCloud) the Apple ID indicates [email protected]
    That is not my Apple ID (at  least as far as I am concerned!)
    As I indicated, my iCloud email account in the iCloud web page only shows a few very old emails, none more recent than early August.
    The iCloud control panel on my PC is the most current as of today.
    Keep the ideas coming.
    So far, been there- done that on everything suggested   :-)

  • How can I send emails to a list of email addresses using mail merge  feature in Microsoft Word for Mac? It would work with the power pc but not with macbook Air

    I want to send an email and personalize it to several contacts. I could always do it with my old Power PC using Microsoft Office Word for Mac but cannot access my emailoption when I use the Macbook Air. Anyone have a solution??

    No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
    HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
    their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
    However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
    already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
    prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

    •OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
    {According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
    but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
    sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
    •HP Support Forum - Home:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?lang=en&cc=us
    You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
    PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
    Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
    Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
    but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

  • DVD player seen by Parallels/Windows but not by Macbook Air

    Hi
    I have a Macbook Air with Windows running on Parallels.  I have a DVD drive connected via a Thunderbolt display.  If I put a disk into the drive it is seen by Windows and not by the Macbook Air.  How can I get it to be seen by the MBA and is there a way of switching - eg choosing whether the MBA or Windows sees it
    Many thanks
    Ken

    I have a similar problem. I have not used my iPod in a few years. I recently bought a mac. The iPod syncs fine on the windows, but is completely unrecognized by my MacBook Air. I had to buy a USB connector because my iPod had only a firewire cable. Perhaps that's the issue? Disk Utility doe not recognize it. ITunes does not recognize it. In disk mode the screen still reads "OK to disconnect" after I plug it in. Any ideas? (I followed the Rs on the Windows where it's working fine...)
    I am abandoning my PC altogether and I am becoming addicted to podcasts. Getting this to work with my MacBook Air would satisfy my new addiction.
    Thanks,

  • Cisco Anytime Connect VPN working from iMac but not from MacBook Air with same settings and wifi network

    Hi guys,
    I'm having trouble connecting my new MacBook Air to Cisco Anytime Connect VPN.
    The same configuration works with my iMac, in the same network and same Mac OS Mountain Lion on both computers.
    After successfully connecting to VPN after a few seconds it gets disconnected and, what is worse, WIFI is not working any more in my macBook Air, I need to deactivate it and start again.
    With iMac with the same settings it doesn't happen.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Did you power cycle the network? That's always the first thing you want to do if a device is "missing" or not connecting to your network correctly.
    If you have not already tried this a few times, power down the entire network...all devices, order is not important.
    Wait a few minutes and place the MBAir close to the TC
    Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself. Then start the TC if it is the device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments. Then start each device one at a time the same way.

  • Slow speeds to ios devices

    I have an airport extreme set up, with an express extending the network. I have now seperated the 5ghz network away, so that the express is forced to connect using the 2.4ghz band.
    Now using my PC, speeds are generally (not always though) good. but using my iphone or ipad its not so good. Browsing seems to be fine, and airport utility shows around 65mb/s data rate.
    But if I start download or update an app, or backup to icloud, or do something a bit more data heavy, it goes very slow.
    Now I have noticed that whilst an app is downloading, the data rate will shoot down to around 5mb/s. this will more than likely be the cause, but I dont understand why it drops down.
    This only seems to be a problem on the 2.4ghz network, everything seems to be fine on the 5ghz band, but obviously my iphone wont connect to this band, only ipad.
    Any help would be great

    Anybody any ideas at all?

  • I have a non iOS device but not updating. How do I updating it? Thanks

    Ipod touch 3rd generation.

    - What happens when you try to update via iTunes? Error message?
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    - A 3G can go to iOS 5.1.1 and that requires iTunes version 10.5 or higher if the iPod does not already have iOS 5.
    - What iOS version is on the iPod? Settings>General>About>Version?
    Are you sure you have a 3G iPod and not a 2G? A 2G can only go to 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Cloud on my mobile devices but not my Macbook

    I have iOS5 running on all of my devices except my Macbook which does not and cannot run the latest Lion software. I rarely use my Macbook for emailing, calendars & contacts. So, my question is this.. If I move my mobileme account over to iCloud am I in for anything major to be concerned with? What's the downside?

    That was it!  I had both versions on the iMac but the older one was on my dock and thus the one I kept opening.  I removed the older version and put the 2.1.0 on the dock and all is good.  Thank you!! 

  • Hi All, I have an Issue with iMessages working from iphone 4s but not from macbook air

    Hi everyone, I'm new to MAC's but have had an iphone for a while, so much so I had an iphone 4 but got an iphone 4s, I gave my 4 to my dad, and after recantly buying a MBA tried to imessage the old man but his name turns red and will not allow me to  send a message, I can however imessage him from my phone, I have the same issue with two other friends, but I know Imessage works on my MBA as I have two other people it works with (On the side the group Imessage is so cool) we did have an issue with facetime not recognising him untill he switched it off and on from system prefrance on his iphone, not sure if this is related or if this is a MBA issue or iphone issue, but could do with some help as I'm an Apple convert and I'm now hoping to convert the old man who loves microsoft, I told him how 'Apple just work' and at the moment have egg on my face
    Please help all surgestions greatlly reacived

    When sending a message from Mountain Lion's Message program, you should be careful about the recipient's address.  When you send a message to your dad, you should send it to his iPhone's phone number.
    Also, on your Mac's Messages > Preferences > Accounts, you should be logged in under your Apple ID (which is hopefully different from your dad's).
    Enjoy your Apple gear!  Indeed, it does "just work".

  • ICloud Keychain - Works with iOS devices but having issues with Mavericks

    Has anyone had an issue where the iCloud keychain will sync normally to iOS devices but not in Mavericks? It worked fine up until a day or two ago when I was forced to recreate my user profile. (a completely seperate issue forced it) Since then I've been rebuilding my profile but did not use the original Library files so as to avoid a reoccurance of the other problem.
    Have tried multiple things including a complete reset (saving my keychain locally on an iPhone) and then reactivating. All passwords and CC information will sync normally to one of my other Macs and my iPad but my MacBook Air (with the new profile) won't cooperate. There are no errors or alerts and takes my security code to activate it. However, when I look in Safari it only pulls a few 'old' autofill passwords and no CC information.
    Actually just tried loading my iCloud settings (including keychain) in the Admin account on the computer and it worked fine. So the issue appears to be limited to my new profile. Wondering if there's a keychain/preference file associated with Safari that's intereing with it receiving a clean sync from the Cloud. Ideas?

    Just tried resetting my login.keychain and that did not fix the issue either.
