MacBook Air and D-link router

Hi!
I do need help, guys. Seriously.
I have a brand new MacBook Air and love it. Sadly, I couldn't get it connected to the Internet.
My network is like this:
Telephone service provider   -------   Modem   -------   Dlink router   -------   PC
The only wireless connection is the one between the router and the PC.
Then, when I want to get connected with my PC, that's what I do:
1.     My PC connects to the wi-fi network provided by the router
2.     Then, my PC connects to the modem
And I'm online.
The problem is I cannot do this with my MacBook. My Macbook is able to connect to the wi-fi network, but I don't know how to get it connected to the router.
(I've ruled out it's a problem of my Macbook, because it happens so with my sister's.)
Do you know if a can configure my Macbook to make the missing connection, so I can get online?
(My router is a D-link DIR-300)
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you.

However, either way I find the drive it shows only about 200mb available
It has the wrong format.
It probably should be FAT32 or NTFS.. both difficult.
I wanted to use this to backup with time machine.
You cannot do it. .the DIR-645 is not time machine compatible. The device has to support AFP and at least some way to setup a sparsebundle in HFS+ format.. which is the only format that will work. CCC might work.. it does on most formats.

Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

I have a new iPad that uses the Cloud. But my iMac, my MacBook Air, and my iPhone are all older. How can I link my mail accounts that aren't on the cloud withntiPhone

Does anyone know how to sync my email account which is on my iMac, my MacBook Air, and my iPhone with my new iPad that uses the Cloud. none of my other Apple devices can use the cloud. Please Help me use the same email account on my iPad!

I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011. It is running OS 10.6.8.
I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air. My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
None can support "the Cloud". I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
Please help.

Wifi dropping constantly on a MacBook Air and iPad 2 and iPad 3. I am not computer savvy so any solution will have to be in 'normal' language, please.

I keep looking for the solution to wifi dropping constantly, but just can't understand the answers, let alone follow the instructions. Can anyone please explain in 'baby' language how to stop wifi constantly dropping on my MacBook Air and iPads 2 and 3. I have had this problem for about three weeks and prior to that everything was fine. I am using a D-Link Router on channel 11, with AOL as my provider. Thank you so much.

That is correct, so I have just been told!! Our Router is a D-Link DSL-2640R which we access via typing 192.168.1.1 into our Internet Explorer Browser on a Windows PC computer. All this has been working for years. The Summary page for the Router shows Internet, DSL and Wireless are all connected and working fine. We have changed the channel to 11 which has made things faster and is not in conflict with nearby systems, but wi-fi still drops on the Mac and iPads. I have only had this problem for a matter of a few weeks. Before that all worked perfectly fine.
By the way thank you very much for trying to help.

Macbook Pro and D-link Wireless issues

I bought my macbook pro from my school because I obtain a computer grant. The macbook pro came with a certain programs installed for my school UNC-CH. I had never had any problems with my internet connection until my parents changed our linksys wireless router for a D-Link router. My macbook pro does not connect to the internet for some sort of reason. The air port says that I have DNS and an assigned IP address; but for some reason my web browser and my applications say that I am not connected to the internet. Whenever I connect my macbook pro to the wirelss router through a ethernet cable, everything works fine. The problme only occurs over the Wi-Fi. My brother has a Macbook Air and he does not have any internet issues. I also have a thunderbolt display that has no issues witht the wire-less network. Do you think that the problem arises because of the added programs that my school added to my computer? I know that my Universtiy is very strct when it comes to connecting to the internet. My macbook pro came with a program called NAC Agent; which I use to communicate with my school's internet connection. I have tried closing the program while I am at home and having it on; but noihing seems to work.
Any ideas?
P.S.
I curently use my thunderbolt display's Wi-Fi to power my internet connection through the Bluetooth PAN connection.

Thanks for the feedback LilyLC. I too have gone through all of your steps and a host of others. Still with no luck. No problems at all with my Airport Express, but still no way to keep up a connection with my DIR-655 via WIFI N. I tried all of the steps with each firmware version too. I've given up at this point. I want the 2 months of my life back that I spent troubleshooting this mess. At least Apple could acknowledge this and say we are on it, and that it isn't only "in our heads."
/begin rant/
I think that Apple needs to do some re-evaluating of their software release schedule/quality control. At this point I would rather wait and have them get it right then put out subpar updates and fall into the downward spiral pattern of "the rest of them". My confidence has been shaken and I've been a mac fan since the beginning. I just want Apple to split off the iPod/Phone/TV etc. into its own division and to get back on track with the Mac line starting now. We need this stuff to work to make a living and this takes a higher priority in my mind than new twiddle apps on the iPhone.
I do own two iPods and an iPhone but would chuck them in a river to get Leopard working solidly with the majors like Adobe, Extensis, Epson, as well as stable networking, syncing and backups. Apple really has their hands full at this point with a large list of bugs. I really wish them well but can't say I'm in the least bit happy as a consumer at this point. For the first time in a long time I feel sheepish when answering whether or not I'd recommend a Mac, and that hurts me deeply for some reason.

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

Change your old Apple ID using this link:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one.

My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

See if this helps:

HT1338 I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac

I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac getting the following error "to update your software you need to sign in with the account you used to purchase it" any help is appreciated

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:
Apple - Mac App Store - Contact Support

I just purchase my first macbook air and i don't know how to download my microsoft office 2010 that i have already purchased for my old computer. Do i need to purchase again for the microsoft office for the mac?

I have a windows computer before i purchased my mac and i had already spend $500 for microsoft office professional 2010, i would ike to know if i can download the same one to my macbook air and how to do it. please need help!

The problem is that your Office 2010 package is a Windows application, and Windows softare doesn't run natively under MacOS. As a result, you can't simply download it or install it on your MacBook Air.
You can set up your MacBook Air to run Windows as well as MacOS, using either Boot Camp (where you pick whether to run Windows or MacOS each time the system starts, but you can't run both at the same time) or using a 'virtual' Windows installation (where you use software such as VMware to create a virtual Windows machine which you run as a window inside MacOS), but in either case you'll need a licence for Windows, plus the virtualisation software if you want to go that route. In other words, it's not simple, though in either case your Office software would be usable.
Some software houses are prepared to cross-licence software in this sort of instance - they'll allow a copy for one platform to lapse and charge a relatively low amount for new copy, on the basis that the user has already paid full price, but Microsoft generally don't seem generally cooperative in that instance.

Apple AirPort WiFi connects to MacBook Air and iPad but not iPod Touch

I got my iPod touch 4th Gen in December for xmas and the wifi has worked perfectly fine until about a week ago only on my ipod, it just says 'Unable to Connect' everytime I try and connect but works on my MacBook Air and iPad
It's a WPA2 Personal security
I've tried all the suggestions on the Apple Support page, including resetting the network settings

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
