Adding a second computer to the router

Ive had my router for almost 2 years now, and i havent found a way to connect my other laptop to the router, when its wired it says im connected but about a blank pops up. I have tried the encryption key to the laptop and it says it doesnt work. I have been stuck on this for about 5 hours and i was wondering if someone could help me. Idk if its my netweork settings on my laptop? but it used to work when it was wired but not wireless. So please someone help me.
~Thanks

What is the Model no of the router..?
Who is your ISP..?
Open the setup page and change the SSID(Network Name) to unique name.Change the Wireless Channel to 11 and try to connect the wireless network on the laptop..

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

After a power outage Apple TV can't find date and time - just keeps spinning on that screen. Tried powering off Apple TV, the computer, and the router. Tried to restart Apple TV. Tried to restore Apple TV, but it got stuck again setting time/date.

Adding a second printer of the same model

I am currently printing successfully to two printers on my AEBS, an Epson C86 and an Epson CX7400. I am attempting to add another Epson CX7400. The Print/Fax panel allows me to add the third printer and the Airport Utility recognizes it. However, when I print to the third printer it never prints. Yet if you look to the completed jobs for that printer, the job shows as having been printed.
I've restarted the computer and printer after adding it to the print/Fax panel in the hopes that that might help but with change. I've changed the name of the second CX7400 thinking the process might need to differentiate printers by their names. That didn't help either.
All the while, both the original CX7400 and C86 still faithfully print. Is it just that two of the same model printers can't be networked together?

It looks like the AEBS keeps track of the printers via the model number supplied as part of the USB Plug and Play standard.
I guess the Apple engineers never figured someone would want two if the same printer on the same base station, (or else they figured that noone would need more than 2 printers per AEBS.)
You may have to get a stand-alone print server for the new printer.

Problems connecting second pc to the router

Hi everyone,
My first PC is connected to my FIOS router and everything is fine with that. I know the router admin login and the router password. But I am having a hard time connecting my second PC to my FIOS router and to the internet.
I have been using the FIOS Connection Wizard, and I have been getting the following message:
"Connectivity between your computer and your Verizon FIOS router is working fine, however we are unable to login to the router to collect the SSID and WEP Key"
It seems as though the connection wizard does not even acknowledge the router password I enter. I will type in the password, then press enter and the wizard does not seem to do much with the password. I rebooted the router, changed the router login and password, and entered those new details into the wizard, but the wizard wont connect. When I try again, the wizard prompts me for the password of the old admin!
Any ideas regarding how to solve this problem? I appreciate your help.

If you are using the FIOS connection wizard and it is asking for your SSID and WEP you are trying to set up a wirless connection.   Make sure to choose the correct option, it should be something like, set up new router or internet connection. ie. Don't choose, setup new wireless connection.
If you still have problems then,
On your computer that successfully connects to the internet, right click your local area connection under network connections and go to properties. Scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) , highlight it and click the properties button. Use the same settings you find here on your second computer. If your router has DHCP turned off and under these properties your IP and DNS settings are visable then on your second computer input all the same settings except change the last number of your IP address.
Ex.       1st computer settings : IP - 192.168.10.15   then
               Set 2nd computer to : IP - 192.168.10.16
Hope this helps.

How the heck do i get a firmware upgrade from my computer to the router?

I went to this site here to try and make my router work. It is a WRT54GS wireless router, and I saw where i could download some firmware upgrade, so I clicked on it and saved it to my desktop. It is a .bin file. Now how do I get that file to the router?????
The router was working until today and now it isn't sending out a wireless signal. However, it is still connecting my computer to the internet through its wire (modem to router, router to computer with cable). But when I open the Easylink software, it says that the internet connection is not working, even though the little green light is on for "wireless" on the front of the router.
But anyway, how do I get this downloaded file onto the router??? There isn't any usb ports on the router to connect to it. There isn't anything in the Easylink software that gives me that option, or if there is they hid it pretty good. They really should explain how to do this, or do they expect everyone to have a degree in networking or computers or something? I need some help here

As sabretooth suggested,Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now,Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

I can't get my ICloud started. Each time i try to sign in..it indicates that theres a problem with my email apple address but never indicates what. I added a second email but the same result. Have changed my password numerous times...no result?????

I have followed the instruction relating to Icloud connection.When i went to system preferences, my Apple address is continually rejected. I have added a second email as suggusted by an Apple site but i still get the same message. Im not told why the Apple ID/email is not accepted when it is accepted in all other Apple sites. I changed my password numerous times to ensure it wasnt the password but to no result. It continued to state that my Apple ID was the problem. I live in Malta,Europe. Have new Apple Mac Pro and Ipod. The annoying thing is that ICloud continually send me the problem notice but do nothing to tell me how to fix it? Can i switch this notice off? Help???????

Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Using a second computer when the first takes a dive

I need serious help....simply put: My original computer died on me and I cant seem to get any of my info from itunes or download my library off my nano....any ideas??? I know someone has had to have been through this before.

I know someone has had to have been through this before
Yes they have, and they're already posted it here.
Use something like iPodRip For Winderz (I'm assuming you're using winderz)
Or try putting it in Disk Mode or Manual Update and working from there. But be very careful. You could lose a lot of music in the blink of an eye. You should ALWAYS back it up somewhere

Advice on adding a second iPod to the same PC

Hi
I've had my iPod for years, and never had any problems! I've always had my iPod set up on this PC along with my library etc.
I've recently moved in with the girlfriend who used to have her library for her iPod nano on her parents PC. Obviously she cannot go back to her parents everytime just to sync it! If we try plug it into my PC, it throws a hissy fit, saying it's not the iPod that belongs to this computer. Is it mainly because she has songs that I don't have in my library? Should she remove all the tracks from it and try again?
Do we have to have the same music on both iPods if they are both sharing the same library?
Just some advice on the best ways to keep us both happy would be ace.
Thanks all
Gary

A single iTunes library can feed many iPods, and each iPod can get it's own tailored load of tracks and playlists to boot. But without using non-Apple tools or methods, you can't get the current tracks on the nano to load into your library. iTunes only supports wiping it clean and loading with selections from your library.

Time Capsule No Longer Backs Up First Computer After Adding Second Computer

I'm new to this forum and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere.
I have a 1 TB TC. I used it to begin backups on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.6). I did the first backup on 1/4/09 and, up until today, it has been working very well, with hourly backups, as it is supposed to. Today, I added my wife's PowerBook (also 10.5.6). After the first backup (by ethernet link), it now performs hourly backups on hers. On my MacBook, however, it reports "preparing to backup" for hours, with nothing happening. Again, everything was fine on my computer, until I added the second one.
Any idea what might be happening?
Thanks,
Marty Hewlett

Problem is solved. It turns out that I had three events that occurred, only one of which caused my problem. As you suggested, adding a second computer had nothing to do with it. A second, unrelated issue had to do with my Cannon scanner driver. An old driver version was producing the Console readout about vendor and device. The real issue was that I had experienced a screen freeze and had to to a forced restart. That likely produced the "deep transversal" discussed in the link to which you referred. In any case, waiting an appropriate length of time finally produced the back up. Everything seems normal at this point. Thanks for the help.

My WRT54GS router isn't adding my other computer

It works fine with this computer, followed all steps, but it will not detect my other computer. I do the setup to add the next computer, after i plug it in it doesnt add it to the my network screen. I also have an Xbox 360 to hook up to it also. All computers are wired and so is the xbox. Any help would be appriciated.

If you were trying to connect the other computer by the software, you should turn off the firewall and any other security software as it can block you from setting it up.Or you can plug the computer you want to add into the router and perform a Power Cycle, see below.
You should try is a power cycle,(make sure you connect the computer to the router) you need to remove the power cable from the Linksys router, then remove the power cable from the modem, wait about 60 seconds, then plug in the modem, then plug in the Linksys router. Wait about 3 minutes while the modem and router sync back up. Once all light are back on, try to connect.
If you already have set up the router and the other items connected are working with no problems then the above steps should connect the computer you want to add.
Good Luck,
Ttech
