Slow WI-FI transfer using native YouTube application on the iPhone 3G

Hello all,
I have seen several posts similar to the one that I'm making now, but since my newest discovery brings a small twist to the issue when compared to the other cases, I decided to make a new thread.
My issue is with the native YouTube application for the iPhone 3G, as it is mysteriously slow. A lot of people mention that lowering the router to B/G standards will remedy the issue. However, I do not think this issue is related to this because when I launch Safari on the iPhone and go to apple.com/trailers the speed is lightning fast. I did some WI-FI comparison testing:
PC: XP Pro SP3 running all drivers at newest releases incl. updating motherboard firmware.
iPhone 3G: Firmware v2.1
Connection: 10 Mbit/2 Mbit
Safari cookies, history, and cache cleared after each attempt on both iPhone and PC. Also, I closed Safari, ran CCleaner (just to make sure all temporary data was gone), and reopened Safari on the PC while Powercycling the iPhone 3G between each attempt.
Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psYClvuONG4
Length: 1 min. 45 sec.
Load time on PC using Safari: roughly 25 sec.
Load time on iPhone using Safari: roughly 4 (FOUR!) min. 30 sec.
After this I directed Safari on both iPhone and PC at:
Movie: http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/splinter/
Length: 1 min. 38 sec.
Load time on PC using Safari: roughly 5 sec. (for the small size as iPhone format does not seem to be available when browsing with a PC)
Load time on iPhone using Safari: Roughly 10 sec.
I do not know what is going on here. Do the size and/or compression of the two movie formats differ so much from each other that this could explain the normal transfer speed via apple.com/trailers? Or is there an issue with the YouTube application? Maybe the YouTube conversion system? Could it be a routing and/or hardware (on either ISP, ISP carrier or YouTube itself) issue in case there are "localized portals" for YouTube depending on the user's geographical location?
In general, speed is not an issue. Performing speed tests towards a localized server in Denmark using my iPhone give excellent results compared to the connection speed I am paying for, and I do not have issues surfing elsewhere via the iPhone. It is only when I use the native YouTube application on iPhone 3G that my transfer rates are poor.
I really want to solve this problem before I go nuts...
Best regards

About a week ago YouTube stopped connecting on my iPhone 3G -- as far as I know nothing changed on my end. The YouTube application seems to function normally, bookmarked videos are still there and play, for example, but it will not update, not search, etc. I get a message that YouTube is not available.

TS1393 I cannot eject my iPod using either itunes or the eject button on bottom tool bar beacuse it says something is in use by another application or "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it" Synced new iPad

How can I eject my ipod when neither itunes not the "safe to eject" button will allow it. Itunes says "...cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." The safe to eject button says "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it." The has never happened before. The only thing new is that I added an iPad yesterday. Thanks.

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

Hi, I have an old iphone 3 and for Xmas received an iphone 5. I have 2 apple ID accounts, one on each phone, for me to be able to transfer messages, fotos, contacts etc from the iphone 3 to 5 do I have to be using the same Apple ID account? Many thanks.

hi everyone, first time using this forum!

You should only use one Apple ID for both phones. All apps that you bought for your 3 are linked forever to the Apple ID used to buy them. If you set up your iPhone 5 as a new phone, rather than restoring from a backup of the 3, you will lose the messages, but you can sync to get the pix, contacts and music. It is safer to do it as a new phone, because sometimes restoring a backup from an earlier version of the phone can cause problems in the new phone (as told to me by an Apple store "genius" two days ago.)

HT201272 I am a resident of Ecuador.I used to buy applications from the us apple store with an ecuadorian credit card and my address in Ecuador.

I am a resident of Ecuador with an ecuadorian credit card.I used to buy applications from the us apple store and updated them whenever updates were available with no problem at all. Since approximately a month,I am not able to purchase any new applicaton or update the old ones.Apple send me back to the ecauadorian apple store were there are almost no applications and where I can not even update the ones I have.
How can I solve this problem.? Before I was able too purchase applications anywhere in the world.This is absurd.
Can anybody help me please?
Regards,
Refurioso

You can't, you will need to be in the US with a US billing address (and credit card issued by a US bank) and iTunes account to be able to buy/download from the US store - the terms of use of the US store say (and other country's stores will be similar) :
The App and Book Services are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the App and Book Services from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
If there are apps that you want that aren't currently in the Ecuadorian store then you can try requesting that they be added, but ultimately it's the app developers that will have to grant Apple a license to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
Cheers all.

There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.

Changing applications on the iPhone

I was trying to add applications to my iPhone and even if I checked them in iTunes they did not sync. Do I have to drag each application to the iPhone screen in iTunes for syncing to work? Thanks.

Were all apps purchased/downloaded with the same iTunes account with iTunes on your computer?
You have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and when selecting an app that is not currently selected and installed on your iPhone followed by a sync, the app is not installed on your iPhone? If so, any error message provided?

Is there a way to transfer applications from the iphone to pc w/o syncing

So my hard drive failed and I didn't have a back up of itunes. I was easily able to get songs and video by opening up my ipod video as a hard drvie through explorer. BUT...
My applications aren't on the ipod. I tried going in backwards in the iphone but I couldn't figure out how to. I can get almost all of the apps from the app store because they don't charge you to re-download applications but I have one that isn't in the app store anymore. Anyway for me to get that off the iphone onto my computer?
Thanks for all your help!

Isn't it nice when there's an easy solution? Thanks for the !

How to transfer new applications from the iphone to itunes?

When I want to update the IOS to 7 Itunes I get an Itunes warning "There are new bought apps in the Iphone that hasn't been transfered to Itunes" ,
How do I transfer the apps to Itunes?. All the apps are updated in both the Iphone and Itunes.

Thanks very much. First valid answer I've gotten despite my posts on LinkedIn and Facebook, totalling over 8000 "friend"-connections.
BUT, is this really the best program? I heard about "Senuti", and another one at Apple called Files Transfer...
I have no problem paying for which ever program does the job, but in todays world, it seems only 2% of all programs work, or does what it actualy says.
AND, how does this program you suggest, actually interact with iTunes, and MacBook? In the future once all music is finally tranferred, do I get all the same folder, and order, which I've spend many many many hours setting up on my prvious iTunes...
Thanks a lot.

Can i use my husbands upgrade for the iphone 6 promotion

My line is technically not eligible for upgrade, but my husbands line is (we are on a family plan with my mom). Last time I upgraded, they let me use my husbands upgrade since his was available. Can I do this for the iphone 6 promotion or will they not allow it?

Can I transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another?
If you have multiple devices on your account and one is eligible for an upgrade, you can transfer upgrade eligibility to another line on your account whenupgrading your device in My Verizon. When you transfer eligibility from one line to another, the original line is no longer eligible for the upgrade discount.
To transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another line on your account:Go to the Upgrade Device page in My Verizon.
Click Transfer Upgrade.
Note: If the Transfer Upgrade link isn’t appearing, you may not be eligible to transfer an upgrade at this time
Select the mobile number you want to upgrade. This will transfer upgrade eligibility to that line.
Select the device you want to upgrade to and click Next.
Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the remaining steps to upgrade your device.
You’ve successfully transferred your upgrade eligibility to another line.
