Add another computer to a WRT 160N

On Thursday I bought a new WRT 160N. I followed the instructions and I can connect my wife's laptop to the new wireless network with no problem. Managing the network, connecting to the internet wirelessly, etc. with my wife's computer is a snap. Trying to connect my 6-year-old laptop to wireless internet through the new router is another story. My laptop can see the wireless network. But when I try to connect, enter in the WEP given in the EasyLink Advisor, and wait for the internet to work, my computer pings the network but nothing happens. Adding to my frustration is this: my network (which I run through my wife's laptop) can see my old laptop. When I follow the prompts to add my laptop to my wireless network, it asks if I the computer has a removable media device. I click yes, follow the directions (insert the USB device into the old computer--which it has no trouble reading), and the network says that no USB device could be detected. When I try to outsmart the EasyLink advisor and say that my old computer does not have a USB media device and go through the prompts the EasyLink Advisor eventually brings up a window with my network's security settings that I should use to connect my old laptop to the network. The only problem is that the computer only displays the top 1/3 of the relevant letters and numbers (we don't have a printer yet). Even if I could read or print the relevant information, I wouldn't know where to enter it on my old laptop.
All I want to do is connect my old laptop to the internet without entering in a long string of letters and numbers or relying on my wife's computer. I also want to make sure that connecting the old laptop does not leave my network open to intruders.

I have the same issues! My laptop is only 2 years old however. This is what I did to fix the issues. FIRST: GET RID OF THE LINKSYS SOFTWARE off ur old computer! Let the laptop find the router and connect with its default software. SECOND: go to ur router setup(the website that is the router IP) under the "Wireless" tab set the "Network Mode" to Wireless-G only" as ur old computer probably cant use the N. When I had it on "Mixed" which means it should use all the types it had MANY issues with the old computer.... I hope these things help you!
message me if you need help, I am pulling my hair out trying to fix MY issues... as in the lack of connectivity in an 850 sq ft apt... Ultra Range eh???

You can authorize up to 5 computers.
To authorize you need to install iTunes on the computer to be authorized:

How to add another Computer to my Apple TV?

I've had my apple TV for a while and really like it. If I rember correctly it used to be easy to add another computer to my Computer list on Apple TV. But for some reason I can't seem to do it anymore.
I intend to take my main home imac down for maintenance over the weekend. I run my itunes library from an external hard drive.
What I want to do is take my external drive with my itunes library and connecvt it to my macbook and run my apple TV from there while my main imac is down.
I thought that if I launched the itunes on the macbook, then enabled homesharing then my macbook would appear on my apple TV compuers list and I could just select it..
But it doesn't!
Any ideas?
One thng that it maybe is that my apple TV is connected to my imac via a physical eithernet.
Would it make sence to diosconnect that and go WiFi and then see if my apple TV picks up the macbook?
Thanks for any advise!

Is the MB setup with the same home sharing ID as the iMac? It should make no difference whether you are on wifi or ethernet, in fact any issues with discovery are typically related to wifi.

Can I add another computer to this subscription?

Hi doughnutking3,
The licensing agreement allows you to use your subscription on up to two computers, as long as both are associated with the same Adobe ID. So, all you need to do is log in to the service from that second computer, and all is well!
Best,

I cannot add another computer via Firefox Sync.

I followed these instructions:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-a-device-to-firefox-sync#w_add-another-computer
However, when I click "I Have A Firefox Sync Account" I get redirected to the "Add a Device" page.
How can this be fixed?
Is there another way to migrate FF from a Win XP 32-bit to a Win 7 64-bit OS?

HT202213 how do i add another computer to my itunes account, system says i have five athourized devices and have to deauthourize one of them or all. if i deauthorize all, and then reauthorize the current devices, will i have to change my apple id and pass

how do i unauthorize all computers and reauthorize without fear of losing all data, personal, and account settings. Apple says I have five already as i count four and want to add another

No problem, just "deauthorize all" and then authorize the four individually. You will lose nothing - except the ability to "deauthorize all" for another year.
Don't change your Apple ID.

How do I deauthorize an iTunes account from one of 5 computers so I can add another computer?

Go to that computer and use the Deauthorize Computer command in iTunes. If that's not possible, use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting. Then re-setup the iPod with your account/media. To redownload iTunes purchases see:

By far the easiest solution is to set it up on your computer with the foreknowledge that the recipient will need to Restore as now and put the photos back on. You've got the surprise factor and the post-surprise effort is minimal.
