Can't get a netgear router to network my macs

I just switched from DSL to Cable and had to buy a router for the cable modem. I can't get it to configure with my Mac Pro. It worked with my Macbook Pro after some fiddeling. It's a Netgear gigabit router. My Mac's normally just hook up to the networks.
Thanks
Dan

Netgear makes it a snap to setup the first time and configure.
I also switched to cable.
the Netgear router should not make a difference, all my cable ISP wants is the modem's MAC, nothing else.
the booklet that came wtih the Netgear should tell you what to use, something like
http://www.routerlogin.net/basicsettings
you might want to post the model name / google / go to Netgear knowledge base page
My reason for the switch, my DSL ISP no longer supported Netgear ADSL modems NOR would they support a system connected to their service that was running Windows 8 (unsupported of all things) so off to cable I went. Weird to say the least.
I have 2-3 Netgear routers, too, and went with the model that seems to provide now the best wifi signal strength.

have an airplay enabled AV Receiver - how do i set up Airplay
I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

How can I get a netgear wgps606 to work?

If the printer connects to the USB port of this print server then for many brands of printer you cannot use the vendor provided driver. Instead you need to look at an alternate driver that supports this type of network connection. Gutenprint is one option and it is preferred because it is free. In previous versions of OS X it was included with the OS but with Lion it is not included so you will have to download it from here.
If the above does not help then please reply with the brand and model of printer you want to connect to the print server. And it would also help if you could provide a bit more detail as to what your issue is.

HT201699 My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple. No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities. If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

How can i get a usb cable on my i mac Gs i want to know how to do it
is there any directions to help me out. Thanx

Well, you posted this question in the iMac forum and since you do not have your system info listed in your signature, we all assumed that you were asking about an iMac - not an eMac. That's why out pics do not make any sense.
Yes, the eMac has USB ports also. They are the second, third, and fourth ports back from the front - the ones after the small circular headphone style jacks.

I purchased a new imac (4G, OS X 10.6.8) in Feb 2011 and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac. It says, "can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto". I don't think my old mac will support the newer version of iPhoto so I feel like I'm stuck (this is why I got a new mac -- cheaper than upgrading all my software, etc). Help! I really need to get to my old photos, and no, they are not backed up anywhere. Thanks.

You have two options:
Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
or
Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
To recover the files:
Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your originals are in the Masters folder.
Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.
