We have 2 Macs, 3 ipads, 2 iphones,

We have 2 Macs, 3 ipads, 2 iphones and 2 Samsung tablets.  For some reason I cannot use our wifi with the iphones or the 2 Samsung products.  It has been suggested to me that the problem is that our Airport runs at 5GHz and the iphones and the Samsung tablets run at 2.4GHz, so I need to change the router setting?  How do I do that?  We bought our Airport in 2009 or 2010?  So is it the same one that runs both at the same time? How do I tell what kind of router this is?  Because to me it just looks - white with a green light

Is your AirPort an AirPort Extrem or Express?

  • I have a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone.  When I contact someone using iMessage, for example using my iPad, the entire conversation also appears on my Mac and iPhone - How do I stop this duplication?

    Hello ctb4408,
    With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.

    Yes. They are not interchangeable. Different hardware platforms and different operating systems.

  • How can I bandle Mac-mini Ipad and Iphone all with the same usser name and password

    I alway's have problem with my ID AND PASSWORD  also I want to bandle my mac-mini Ipad and Iphone with the same password and usser name how do I do tyhis?

    Hola amigo
    If you wish to use the same Apple ID for all your Apple devices then you need to set them up that way from the start. If you did not use the same Apple ID for them all then you would need to erase the iOS devices by returning them to the factory settings and starting over as if they were new.
    However, content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to download or update your content bought with one Apple ID with a different Apple ID. So you would need to decide if your are abandoning extra Apple IDs that you may have created and the content that you acquired with that Apple ID.

  • I had to replace my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only talks to just the one Mac Air.  My other wifi devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone) can't get on the wifi.  Any suggestions?

    I recently replaced my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only works with the one Mac Air and not my other devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone).  Any suggestions?

    It sounds like you have gone from a cable router with the TC bridged to a cable modem with no router.. so the first device to connect pick up the IP address. Did the cable company give you the same model?? Check if it is a pure modem or a modem router.. and what the last one was.
    Anyway.. you should redo the setup.. do you have any computer with ethernet?? Did you buy a USB to ethernet adapter for one of your airs.. very hard to do setup without ethernet.
    Also download the new utility.. with the old style.

    If you happen to be on Lion.
    Redo the setup and make sure you setup correctly to router mode if the cable modem has no router or bridge mode if it is a router.

  • Problem to synchronize Mac with IPad and Iphone by using ICloud

    I have installed Lion on my Mac Book and updated to 10.7.4. / and I bought the new IPhone und the new IPad. >> The synchronization (Mails/Contacts) between IPad and IPhone via iCloud is running very well. But the synchronizsation via iCloud between my Mac and IPad and IPhone for Mails and Contacts is not running. I checked the installation of iCloud on my Mac, it's installed.
    Who can help me? Thank you in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • I don't have iPhoto on my ipad or iPhone. Apple says these are free but it is $4.99 in the App Store?

    I don't have iPhoto on my ipad or iPhone. Apple says these are free but it is $4.99 in the App Store?

    They are free if you have activated a new iOS 7 compatible device since 1st September 2013. When did you buy and activate your iPad and/or iPhone ? If on or after that date then try logging out of your account on that device by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if it then shows as free on it

  • I have Numbers on my iPad and iPhone.  Do I have to pay again to download it on my Mac?

    If I have Numbers for my iPad and my iPhone, do I have to pay again to download Numbers on my Mac?

    Yes, unless it would normally be free. The developers need to create the Mac OS X and iOS versions of an application separately and may choose to charge for both.

  • HT5622 We have 3 PCs, 2 iPads, 1 iPhone, a MacBook (and a partrige in a pear tree), how do set up 1 itunes library?

    I have an individual appleID (2 PCs, 1 iPad, 1 iPhone), my son has an individual appleID (1 iPad, 1 MacBook), and my daughter has an individual appleID (1 iPad, 1 PC).  I would like for us to have 1 itunes library that we sync to network attached storage device hosting the itunes library.  I want each of us to access (sync) what we want from the same library.  How do I set up itunes to be our media library?

    I recently got a macbook and had to transfer all my files from my pc laptop. I don't remember the exact process, but I googled something along the lines of "transferring music from pc to mac" and found some helpful articles on setting up a network between the two computers. I don't know if this would work for the original poster as s/he probably can't get the two computers together, but I used an ethernet cable and turned off the wireless and somehow dragged the files over. It can definitely be done, it was a little time consuming but worth it!

  • I have "reminders on my iPad and iPhone and they sync thru iCloud can I get the same app for my desktop so all (3) devices will sync off of iCloud

    I have "reminders" on my iPad & iPhone that sync thru iCloud. Can I get an "reminder" app for my iMac that will allow me to sync all (3) devices thru iCloud ?

    Captfred,
    The process you noted above worked to show the reminders on the IMAC,
    However maybe you can help me with this problem.
    The reminders I set in the Iphone4s/Ipad2 don't clear off the list on the IMAC even with deselecting show all completed reminders.
    Thus on the Iphone4s/ipad2 the list is short and direct, but on the IMAC it is over 100 items any sugestions as to why the reminder is hown with the check mark but does not clear from the screen.
    Thanks for any help on this from anyone

  • How do I replicate the folders I have in Mac Mail on my iPhone?

    Apologies if this is covered elsewhere on the forum - I have searched but couldn't find what I was looking for.
    This should be a simple fix, but I can't work it out... All I want to do is have exactly the same Mail folders on my iPhone as I have on my desktop Mail. I'm syncing via MobileMe.
    In Mac Mail I have:
    Inbox
    Sent
    Trash
    Junk
    Action
    Filed
    Later
    Whereas, on my iPhone, I have:
    Inbox
    Drafts
    Sent
    Trash
    Action
    Apple Mail To Do
    Deleted Messages
    Drafts
    Filed
    Junk
    Junk (me.com)
    Later
    Sent Messages
    All I want to do is tidy the above so that my iPhone Mail only displays the folders I have in Mac Mail. If anyone can talk me through this, I'd be really grateful.

    Thanks roaminggnome... but there are a lot more folders on my iPhone than there are on MobileMe and I'm still not sure why or where they came from.
    Here's a question which might help clarify what the problem is. Why are there two Sent folders on my iPhone ("Sent" and "Sent Messages")? Why are there two Trash folders ("Trash" and "Deleted Messages")? Why are there two Junk folders ("Junk" and "Junk (me.com)")? Is there any way to conflate these folders so that only one folder performs each function?
    I only have one Mail account, so why would I want two folders each containing (say) sent messages? I'd rather have all my sent messages in one place.... it would make like much simpler!
    I hope that makes sense. Thanks for your patience in helping me with this - I'm sure I'm just overlooking something very obvious.

  • Syncing non intel mac to ipad and iphone, how?

    I am still using a G5 so non-intel and has OS 10.5.8. Yeah I know, upgrade. Was waiting forever for new MacPro but now waiting for 27" iMac to be redily available.
    Soooo, I do have iPad Gen 1 running 5.1.1 which I believe is the max for the 1st gen.
    Just got an iPhone 5.
    I sync computer to iPad and cloud that to iPhone... BUT everything doesn't come over. Contacts on iPad shows groups called "From My Mac" and another set called, .mac.
    The only contacts that sync to iPhone are the ones in the ".mac" set which are not the ones I want and those are not visible on my iPad so I cannot figure how to change/import/transfer to it.
    Sure, soon I will have the new iMac but until then, what fundimental issue am I mising?
    Thanks.
    PS: this never ends... not all apps sync'd to iPhone and none of the music. Could that be because I aquired them when I had a different iTunes ID?

    also, can't direct sync from computer to iPhone re the new connector.

  • How to automatically have apps download on iPad from iPhone

    I want apps I download on my iphone to go automatically to my iPad

    This is applicable if the app is universal for both iphone and ipad.
    settings - itunes/app store - automatic downloads - apps - on
    If the apps aren't universal then this won't work and you would have to download the app for the iphone and ipad separately

  • Some of my photos have disappeared from my iPad and iphone

    I Have lost a large number of photos from my collections/albums. Random dates. How can I retrieve these. Everything is backed up to the cloud.

    Howdy Jan,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like some photos are missing from your iPhone and you want to know how to go about recovering them from an iCloud backup. Take a look at the articles linked below, the first will walk you through the restore process and the second provides information that’ll assist you in recovering photos after restoring from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
    Get help finding missing information in iCloud after restoring an iOS device - Apple Support
    Your photos
    In iOS 8 with iCloud Photo Library beta turned on, your photos and videos are stored in iCloud. They aren’t included in your iCloud backup. When you restore from iCloud Photo Library, your device downloads thumbnails of your photos and videos, and any original photos stored on your device.
    If you’re using iOS 8 and haven’t turned on iCloud Photo Library, or if you’re using iOS 7, iCloud backup includes photos and videos in your Photo Library or Camera Roll. They’ll download to your iOS device when you restore.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos that you uploaded to My Photo Stream for 30 days. To keep these photos on your device and make them part of your backups, save these photos to your Photo Library, Camera Roll, or another album.
    To view a My Photo Stream album, make sure My Photo Stream is turned on in Settings (If you use iCloud Photo Library, the My Photo Stream folder is removed).
    To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
    To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
    Ciao,
    -Jason
