Why only 39 mbps with iOS devices?

I have an Airport Extreme which runs firmware version 7.4.2. When I got an iPad several months ago, I noticed that the AirPort Utility reported a transfer rate of only 39 mbps to it. Even if the iPad was only a foot away from the router. Macs connect with rates of up to 130 mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 300 mbps on the 5 GHz band. If I switch the router to G-only mode, all the devices connect at 54 mbps.
I have been unable to find out why this happens. Some other people on the iPad forums reported this too, but I could not find an answer.
Yesterday I got an Apple TV and it connects at a 39 mbps rate too. So now I suspect that the problem is with the AirPort and not the iPad. It does not seem to work properly with iOS devices. Does anyone know what causes this and if there is a fix for it?

I have a new Airport Extreme N that I got a few weeks ago and
I just did a check with my Ipod 3rd gen w/iOS4.1 and it is connected
at 54 Mbps, and my iMac which I am using at this moment
is at 300 Mbps and when my MacMini is up, it connects at 300 Mbps.
It seems that there may be an issue with your Airport or, there may be
alot of interference in the B/G bands where you are at.
Also note, that all my Airport settings are at default. I did not do
anything special except change the IP address assignment numbers.

Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
Thanks,
John

Or, how about this:
Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

Will Itunes only communicate with one device per computer?

I get an invalid response from Itunes when my iphone4 is connected to Itunes. I also have a nano that connectes and is working properly. Will Itunes only work with one device per computer. I took the iphone to an apple store and it connects with itunes like it should. I have swapped cables and ports, and downloaded the latest version. Thanks for your help

It is mean to work with multiple devices, although not simultaneously. However I have had exactly the same issue with iTunes 10.7 and Windows7 and a new 16GB iPod touch on iOS6 just this week.
iTunes detects and displays the iPod classic fine, but won't find the iPod Touch when it is connected. The connection is working fine as the Windows OS can see the iPod touch, just not iTunes.
I had a 2nd PC, which has a copy of the iTunes on it and the same media collection - this PC immediately recognised the Touch, so I have gotten around this issue, although I suspect reinstalling iTunes on the original PC may have also fixed it - I have kept a copy of iTunes 10.7.exe so I can reinstall and avoid that POS V11.
I suspect iTunes gets tetchy about hooking in two devices.
Actually as a mostly Windows / Android user, I don't get why on earth do Apple force you to do everything via iTunes anyway? Seems crazy to me. I sort of like the way I can hook up the Android unit and just drag over the files I want without all the darn hoop jumping Apple wants me to do. Anyway... I digress.
So Not sure. Happy I found an easier solution than a reinstall of iTunes. Of course, using a 2nd (mirrored) PC might not be an option for you. Good luck. Wish I had a better / more useful suggestion for you.

HT204150 iCloud Contacts with iOS devices

I've tried each step under "Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts update or setup issues with iOS devices" several times to no avail. I can't get icloud to update Contacts on my iPhone 4. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
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.

Nothing. The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life. If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

How use time capsule with IOs device ?

how can I use the time capsule with IOs devices please ?
thanks a lot.
here is the picture

Thanks for the clarification....(our crystal ball is broken).
You might want to take a look at an App like FileBrowser.

The experts in the iPad support area will probably have more ideas for you as well if you want to post over there.

Email settings DO NOT WORK WITH iOS Devices

Vz keeps sending these "important" instructions for email port settings, BUT they do not work with iOS devices--iPhones and iPads. Last go around with this I spent over 16 hours trying to reconcile until an Apple Expert discovered "special" instructions for iOS device settings. Get with the program, Verizon.

So what are the special instructions?

Why does it take so long for iTunes Match to synch with IOS Device?

This weekend I ripped about 15 CD's that I had purchased from Amazon.com. For some reason it took a long, long time to get into iMatch. Granted some of the CD's weren't popular and may have needed to actually upload as opposed to match with already stored music. But some were new, and popular releases.
Typcially I rip, let iMatch do its thing and just stream the music, not download, to my IOS devices. I did leave my iMac running for several hours, and even after iTunes on the iMac showed an successful match some music didn't show up for a day, or if it did it was "ghosted" and I could not get it to stream.

have the same problem since upgrading to i tunes 7 and can only guess it's the size of my library - nearly 200gb. A friend of mine who's library is 20 gb or so has no such problems. If there's another reason and we can do something about it I too would love to know!

GarageBand only compatible with iOS 8?

I recently bought an iPhone 4 and updated it to iOS 7.1.2, and when I try to purchase GarageBand on the app store, it tells me "This application requires iOS 8.0 or later. You must update to iOS 8.0 in order to download and use this application." Where can I find the option to download an older version of the app? I know there are people who can still use GarageBand on their iPhone 4, so I must be experiencing some sort of bug.
Otherwise, why would apple discontinue an app on older devices? And moreso, why would they say that they updated it to add "support for iOS 8" if they were requiring everyone to have the newest devices and operating systems to use it? That seems like a very underhanded trick to me, so I hope I am only experiencing an error.

I see, your page is working again, stevejobsfan!
Yes, the work-around with buying in iTunes on a mac should do it.
If it does not work, Fishbowl22 could try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
There must have been a mistake, if a minor compatibility update from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 rendered the app incompatible with iOS 7 and now prevents purchasing. iPhoto users will not want to upgrade to iOS8, because the app has been discontinued.

WIFI password not synced with iOS device

For short: I'm excluded off my own WIFI net because Apple's iCloud Keychain didn't sync the WIFI password from my MacBook to my iPad.
For my holidays I bought a nice portable WIFI hard disk. This device can not only take the memory cards of my camera and store the images without any computer, but also establishes a WIFI network, by which I can access the content of the mobile harddisk wirelessly.
At home, I configured this neat device with my MacBookPro and accessed it via WIFI by choosing the WIFI hard disk's network and entering the password, which Apple suggested during the configuration process of the WIFI hard disk. At this moment (entering the WIFI password to connect with the hard disk's network), I had to recurr onto the OSX keychain helper: look for the formerly entered password and paste it into the WIFI accounting form - and check the box "store in the icloud keychain". Ok.
Ok? Nothing's ok on my iOS devices (iPad and iPhone). Why?
By checking the box, I was sure that the password would indeed be synced with and stored within the iCloud keychain.
But I went wrong!
Now on holidays, with my camera, my iPad, my WIFI hard disk and – without my MacBookPro (because it's a holidays killer) – I tried to connect my iPad with the WIFI of the mobile hard disk. Seeing it's WIFI network, I tapped on it and got the accounting dialog: Enter password.
Which password?!?
I had instructed the Apple iCloud to store this password – and deliver it to any authorized device if needed.
But Apple, seemingly, did NOT do this and failed to deliver the password to my iPad (which is naturally registered to the same Apple ID as my MacBook).
What shall I do now? I have NO access neither to my MacBookPro (which is at home) nor to my iCloud keychain (which Apple thinks the best to protect against me).
To be honest, I feel patronized in a very ugly way by Apple - once again.
My question is: Why isn't there a way to access or manage the iCloud keychain from an iOS device? Should it be that Apple thinks these devices are LESS SECURE?
Any help is very welcome! Thanks in advance.

Thanks, FromSouth -
I called Apple Support and they also said that she has to have access to my iCloud account. We did figure out that some of the notes from 2011 and 2012 are from a shared business account which also allows notes, but that is a Verizon account and should not impact, in any way, shape, or form, the iCloud account.
I do not believe my daughter actually did this; I am guessing that her iCloud account was also accessed by her husband (who is not a good guy), and he, without her knowledge, synced her iCloud to his iPhone to track all her stuff. I then believe he got hold of mine and did the same a couple of days ago, as we are all together for a large family vacation (in the same house).
I guess I have a couple more questions about this, though:
Normally, when you sync a new device with your account, you get a message on all your old devices - but I did not get anything of the kind. How would this be possible? I guess maybe if he synced it while standing there with my iPad, then my iPad would get an alert, and he would just turn it off?? (I know all this sounds excessive, but believe me, he'd go to this length.)
I find it difficult to believe that he could have cracked my iCloud password - it's not something that anyone would ever put together easily. How would he be able to access the account without a password? Is there any kind of app or software that he could have installed on my iPad that would allow that? (Again, believe me, he'd do it.)
Is there any way to see in iCloud what devices are linked to the account? That alone would show me what device has this.
Finally, I have my iPad password-protected, so I cannot imagine he would have gotten into my iPad in the first place...how would he have gained access to this otherwise? I really thought I was being very smart on how I set this all up, and two days in the same location as him and now this....
I really thank you for any help you can give me on this one...
Thanks!

How can I share a printer with iOS devices?

I'm using a Mini with Lion and would like to share my printer with my iOS devices. They will only see AirPrint devices of which I have none. Is there a way to configure my Mini to make it's shared printer available to my wireless iOS devices?

You can install applications like Printopia or AirPrint Activator. These will share your printer on the Mac to your iOS devices.

Is there a way to look at apps in the app store that only work with ios 5.1?

I am trying to see the apps thaartwork with ios 5.1, instead of having toupon the apps first only to then see if they will work with my tablet. Thanks

Wifi roaming with iOS devices

I have a weird problem that I find hard to diagnose.
We have 6 iOS based devices: 2x iPhone 3 (iOS 4.2.1), 2x iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) and 2x iPad 3 (iOS 5.1.1). Our Apple Wifi network has 2 APs: 1 Time Capsule (TC) and 1 Airport Extreme (AE). Both AP are interconnected with Ethernet cabling, the AE is connected to the internet and also function as the NAT and DHCP host. Both TC and AE run firmware 7.6 and are set up with the same SSID, both on channel 11. They are located at opposite ends of our apartment to create maximum radio coverage in the apartment.
All iOS devices roam from one AP to the other when moving around EXCEPT one of iPhone 4. This iPhone only connects to the TC and is also not visible in the airport utility (both the iPhone version as well as on the Mac) when asleep. All other devices remain visible in airport utility even while asleep.
Any ideas which settings to check to on the iPhone 4 that doesn't roam? Does it have to do with the fact it loses the Wifi connection while asleep?

Thank you for your response, however I tried "forget this network" and "reset network settings" before I started this thread and that didn't help. I find the restore option a little drastic measure before knowing what could cause certain behaviour.
To make sure I repeated step forget this network again, while being very close to the AP it fails to connect (=AE). I noticed that on the first attempt to connect it reports "unable to join the network "<SSID>". On the second attempt it does connect. Then it suddenly hit me that the problem may be on the AP side: the first attempt it tries to connect to AE but fails, on the second attempt it connects to TC. This iPhone was recently replaced by Apple under warranty and I use MAC Access Control on the APs. Normally you enter the MAC address of a new device on one AP and the new device shows automatically up on the access list of the other AP. However in this case I updated the existing entry on only one AP (the TC) and after checking the other AP (the AE) it still had the MAC address of the previous device. I assumed that changes to MAC access control on one AP would also be propagated to the other AP. Once I also manually updated the entry on the AE, it started to roam as expected.
One additional note: the iPhone 3 running iOS 4.2.1 do drop the wifi connection while asleep AND not being powered with the USB cable. As long as they have external power they maintain the wifi connection. The iPad 3 (using iOS 5.1.1) will maintain the connection in any condition. The 2 iPhone 4 are still showing different behaviour, one drops while the other maintains the wifi connection in sleep mode. This could be caused by a difference in apps running on the 2 iPhones. But I don't really care as it doesn't affect the user experience.

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.

Why only 39 mbps with iOS devices?
