WiFi and Digital TV
Just got the iPad and when I first connected to the iMac to do an initial sync, our DTV froze up. We get over-the-air digital TV using a Terk indoor antenna.
I shut off the DTV converter box, and then unplugged the iPad.
Turned the TV back on and turned on iPad - again the TV quit immediately.
In addition to this, my iPad's wifi signal is very weak compared to the iMac's wifi reception, even when I'm sitting directly in front of the iMac, i.e. same localtion in the house.
It is the purpose to use the TC as a WiFi extension throughout our house, and meanwhile use the backup functionalities.
Unfortunately, Apple designed the "extend" feature to only work with other Apple wireless routers, so the Time Capsule would not be compatible with the B-Box for the purpose that you ask about....using wireless only.
If the B-Box has an extra Ethernet port, you can connect an Ethernet cable from the port on the B-Box to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule and configure it to provide more wireless coverage that way.

I have an iPad 4th Gen with Retina Display. I want to watch movies on an airplane. I downloaded downloaded one movie successfully from digital copy, but my next movie only plays when I am connected to wifi, and the other one is the same way now
Hi there slogrown,
You may need to download these purchases directly to the device. Take a looke at article below for more information.

Yoga 13 WiFi and bluetooth issue resolved
Unfortunately, I also met WiFi problems, but also found unexpected and sad solution.
Wifi worked pretty well at working place, but had problems at home. As an experiment I brought WiFi router from the working place home. It did not work!
At home I used pretty old keyboard and mouse plugged into passive USB hub. As soon as they were disconnected, problems disappeared. WiFi was also stable after I plugged power supply into the USB hub.
We are making 24-bit analog-to-digital converter that connects to the PC via USB. I exactly know its current consumption (300 to 330 mA) and know that it correctly handles USB rules about power regulations. Maximum current, specified by USB2.0 standard, is 500mA, so consumption of our ADC is within limits. As soon as I plug this ADC in, WiFi connection immediately disappears at the working place.
In the case of other devices, such as USB flash drive, power consumption may depend on the activity, increasing as it writes or reads something, and decreasing at the moment of inactivity.
I'm pretty sure that Lenovo placed their WiFi/bluetooth module on the same USB hub with right-side USB2 connector. Any device, that requires energy, being plugged into USB2.0 port, immediately destroys WiFi (and presumably bluetooth) and it is rather hard to get it back alive without special dancing around.
So, conclusion: never plug anything into USB2.0 port, if you need WiFi. This decreases number of available USB ports from two to one. Lenovo team should be blamed for that, not driver manufacturers or board manufacturers - Lenovo did non do its construction job well.
I am not sure, that all WiFi and bluetooth problems of Yoga discussed at this forum have the same reason. But in any case incorrect implementation of USB2.0 power should be considered before any other reason of malfunction.
Car manufacturers recall their products in the case of a failure. What about computer manufacturers?Citation from Wikipedia:
The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single wire to power connected USB devices. The specification provides for no more than 5.25 V and no less than 4.75 V (5 V ± 5%) between the positive and negative bus power lines. For USB 3.0, the voltage supplied by low-powered hub ports is 4.45–5.25 V.[61]
A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0, and 150 mA in USB 3.0. A device may draw a maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) from a port in USB 2.0; 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0. There are two types of devices: low-power and high-power. A low-power device draws at most 1 unit load, with minimum operating voltage of 4.4 V in USB 2.0, and 4 V in USB 3.0. A high-power device draws, at most, the maximum number of unit loads the standard permits. Every device functions initially as low-power — but may request high-power, and get it if available on the providing bus.[62]
Obviously, WiFi adapter is a high-power device. If it does not have sufficient power, it will start power saving program by reducing speed. Even lower power may interrupt ins basic functions. When I connect another high-power device (HDD or ADC) to the same hub, it should get its 500mA from the hub. Seems that starting at this moment WiFi receives much less current than it requires and stops working.
If something is plugged into USB3 port, and this something does not utilize all energy it requested, WiFi starts working again.
I would greatly appreciate if somebody repeats my tests using Yoga or Yoga 2 Pro.
Test:
Reboot your system, all USB devices disconnected
Open http://www.speedtest.net site and measure Download connection speed (Speed1)
Connect external HDD to USB2 (NOT USB3!) port
Wait until HDD is connected
Test Download speed once again (Speed2)
Report results to this blog as Speed1/Speed2 couple of numbers

My wife and I have different taste in music and I have been using her apple account to buy all my music. Well needless to say we are filling up our ipads, ipods, and iphones with each others music. I just got a new computer for my birthday (thanks to my wife who is sick of me using hers) and would like to keep all of the music I purchased on my new account. I am still using her for this question:) Can this be done? I have spent a lot of money on this music and don't want to lose it all. Please help:(
What does "what was already downloaded to my wife's computer " refer to? If its music that's been bought as digital downloads (e.g., from the iTunes store) then the issue I referred to earlier applies (plus, in the case of iTunes purchase, it may not be playable if you're using a different Apple ID in iTunes). The approach of copying content from your wife's computer to yours is valid if it is the result of importing your music from your CDs into iTunes.

My wife and I both have an iphone. We initially set them up under one apple id account. When we text sometimes we will receive each others text messages from others. Example I will text a friend...she will not see my text but the reply comes to both of us. It seems to be random which ones. Any ideas how to correct this
Yup, get your own AppleID.
The messages that are being sent to both phones are technically not text, they are Apple's iMessage. They use the data part, not the texting part. So if you have an iPad or a Mac computer, you can send/receive the iMessages there too.

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.
Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

My wife and I each have an Ipad and use only one mail account. Both Ipads therefore get the same mail and when either one of us deleates an email it also deleates on the other Ipad and this can be a problem if one of us doesn't want that e-mail deleted. Obviously our Ipads are synced and I don't know how to correct this. Any advice ?
If you both have the same email account, there's no setting on iPad you can use. When a message is deleted, it's deleted from the mail account server, which will happen on both devices.

my wife and i both have iphone 4. they were set up with 1 icloud account. we now both have separate apple id's. I would like to set up a different icloud account on my phone with my apple id and password separate from my wife.
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also have to email your notes to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account as they cannot be migrated.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa). -
My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?
My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?
Good question, but I'm 99.9% certain the answer is "no". Here are some considerations:
Think of the heritage of iOS. It really started with iPhones and maybe iPods. These devices cost a whole lot less than a Mac. They are generally not thought of as shared (with exceptions, of course, as is true for you).
Think of the backup process. i-devices typically sync with one iTunes on one computer. How would an i-device with multiple users enstantiate this?
Anyway, all this is to say I'm convinced you cannot do what you're inquiring about. -
In Match, it seems to associate with a single AppleID. The wife and I share all our music on iTunes on the PC - it's all in a single library. How can we keep that sharing in Match if we have separate AppleIDs?

My wife and I share the same iTunes account. How do I setup a separate account for her? Can I do it using my iMac?
ThanksUsing More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

My wife and I have 2 new iPhones and also have a mac book pro and an iMac. How can we share apps, music and contacts between all these?
Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots? A specific one?
Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router? -
What is the difference between wifi and the 3G plus wifi?
I want to get an ipad for myself and I have no idea what the difference is between the regular wifi and the 3G plus wifi. If somebody could explain the difference to me so I can decide which one to get I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
On the iPad if you use wifi you have to be close to a wifi access point either in your home or at a location such as Starbucks or Paanera. This connection normally will transfer data faster than 3G. However, 3G will give you access in areas where there is mobile telephone service from Verizon or AT&T albeit at a slower data transfer rate than wifi.
Wifi will be cheaper than 3G since you'll have to subscribe to 3G service from Verizon or AT&T.
BTW, you won't be able to use "3G plus wifi" at the same time. -
IPhone 6 Wifi and Blutooth not working after update!
I updated my iPhone 6 this weekend and did not back it up before doing so. I now notice that my WiFi and Bluetooth are off and not working! I can't turn the back on. I reset the phone, I even reset all the network settings, but can not turn them on. I also noticed that I am not getting text an emails as quick. My iPad Air is fine, but my phone is really screwed up. Any suggestions?
Also - I have to say this, what's up with Apple lately? Why so many issues with updates lately? I (and everyone else) pay a lot of money for these devices and the service, how about putting out updates that don't screw everything up for a change.P90X Dad wrote:

Read these articles: [iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support] [iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections - Apple Support]
And it was unwise to not make a backup prior to updating. That's contrary to what Apple recommends: [Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support] (Before you update Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.)
And what issues with updates are you talking about? This is your first post on this forum.
