Cannot add my Laptop to Linksys

Hi,
I have installed my new WRT160N router and can obtain internet on my Desktop pc running Windows 7 (64 bit).
However I cannot add my laptop bunning Windows Vista (32 bit) any ideas please.
I can see Linksys in the list of available networks but when I click onto 'connect' I get a message saying unable to connect?
The only network I can pick up is D-Linkwhich only shows 1 bar and very weak connection, but I want to connect to my wireless router,
Thanks
Mrs Moo

Hi again
You really are very helpful.All this is taking your time up so sorry
I followed your instructions to the letter and everything came up ok as far as the bit when I reached the 'admin' PW
then I kept getting a pink error page and couldnt go any further. Im sorry to be such a pain.
It seems it is requesting a user name which I ignored but once I add 'admin' it blocks me.
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,try to adjust the browser settings...Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now,go to start>>>run and in the run box type http: "//192.168.1.1" without quote and hit enter.Now,it will prompt you for username and the password.Leave the username blank and type admin in the password.
Thanks Peanut
Mrs Moo.

HT1386 i have followed your instructions and still i cannot add my itunes library from laptop to iphone

I have gone over these instructions numerous times and I still cannot add music from itunes library on my laptop to my iphone. What am I doing wrong?

Is it on a NTFS drive?
Mac can read but not write to NTFS, and it does not see all NTFS drives equally well.
To write to NTFS I use and recommend Paragon Software $20 NTFS for Mac OS X.
Ideally move iTunes to a Mac HFSX format drive though.

Cannot add static routes wrt350n

Router has latest firmware and was just set to default values. I cannot add a static route, says "static route invalid" no matter what address I input (keeping it simple, trying 192.168.1.XXX)
I have never had this problem with any other router and I'm thinking it's broken. Thought I'd ask here to make sure I wasn't missing a setting before I throw this thing out the window.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Nick.

Thanks for the help, it is appreciated...
I would like to use a static IP address for my LAN multimedia server, MythTV reccommends a static address for the backend server. I have also always used Static IP addresses for my LAN.
I am a little confused, and my networking is very rusty so please bear with me. Perhaps I have not provided enough information, because I do not fully understand your response. I don't understand how subnetting is relevant.
My network is a simple home network, with one router separating my LAN from the cloud. I have one LAN, no subnetting, 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0.
Every home router I have used before I have set up the LAN portion like this... And it has always worked in the past...
gateway: 192.168.1.1/24.
static routes 192.168.1.(2-5)/24 for my stationary hosts.
dhcp range 192.168.1.(10-15)/24 for laptops and guests.
In response:
1) Yes it is LAN traffic, but the hosts still need addresses, right? Not sure what you're getting at here.
2) Not sure what you mean... example host 192.168.1.20/24, and the router 192.168.1.1/24are both within the 192.168.1.0/24 network, right? So requests from the cloud are broadcast to all in my LAN, right? How is this relevant?
3) I thought the gateway (on my only router) has to be part of the LAN addressing. By Linksys/Cisco default, the router LAN side gateway is 192.168.1.1/24 and it sends out dhcp addresses to 192.168.1.(100-149)/24.
Am I severly confused or are we just on the wrong page?

WRT320N can't add a laptop with Win7

I have the WRT320N wireless router and I cannot add a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. The new computer recognizes the router, I got a message that asked me to connect the laptop with an Ethernet cable, and Linksys will scan my system, setup the laptop, and let me know when to disconnect the Ethernet cable. Nothing happens. In addition, if I could figure out how to get a security key code and enter it, I could do that too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you able to go online on the wired computer from the router...?
Open the router setup page on the wired computer by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.The default password is admin.Now,under the Wireless tab,check the SSID.If the SSID is "linksys" then,change it to some unique name.Under the Wireless Security subtab,check the security key.If you are using WEP then,use Key1 as the security key.
On the Windows7 computer,go to control panel and go to network and sharing center.Now,click on "connect to"..Connect the wireless network using the correct security key.

Updated itunes to 10.4.1.10 on Windows XP. Now cannot add files or album covers. please help

Installed latest version of itunes when prompted yesterday. Using hp compaq laptop running Windows XP. Now cannot add files to library or add albulm covers. Tried to play new mp3s from external drive, that I was trying to add. got message saying "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error7 (windows error 1455)"
Have also had a couple of "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" forced shutdowns. Cannot find files to reinstall and itunes is telling me I am using the current version.
Infuriating!!! Can you help me please?

Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Cannot add more than 1 song at a time to iphone

Hi
Don't know if anyone else has had this problem but when i try to add songs to my iphone i can only do 1 at a time. If i sync a full album it crashes and says device timed out. it will back up ok and sync if manually manage music is ticked but if automaically again it dies on the second song. I have reinstalled itunes with no luck and my phone will work fine on my wife's laptop when synced to her library. I can re-sync with my library which removes all songs but then cannot add anymore songs unless its 1 at a time :((
Any ideas??? We both use the latest 8.2 itunes and both run vista both have amd processors and both comps have 2gb ram.
Thanks

Cool. The front case ones may not be properly connected to the motherboard then. From personal experience they are kind of hard to connect as the pins are so small and it is easy to connect them incorrectly.

I no longer get my bookmarks in my dropdown menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar.i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

i no longer get my bookmarks in my drop down menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar. i have emailed yahoo and they said it is not their trouble & to call at&t and i called att and they said not their trouble go back to yahoo .......but i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Cannot add device to computer Error 0x80070005 / x000005b3

I am trying to install my printer. I have registered it on #line but when itry to add as a device to my computer I get the error code above 0x80070005
If I try to add it as a printer I get the error code 0x000005b3
It is a work laptop that I do not have admin rights on - is this causing a problem? I did get them to install the software.
Any help / advice much appreciated

Hi @PollyC ,
I see that you are getting the message "Cannot add device to computer Error 0x80070005 / x000005b3".
I will do my best to help you.
Do you also have the 0x80070005 on the printer?
Usually that error has to do with the Ink System. Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.
'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error M...
You should be signed in with Admin Rights to add the printer and most likely permission set to print on your user account.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 if the issue persists. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Cannot Add Any Music to iTunes Windows 8

I just got a brand new computer with Windows 8. I moved everything that was on my previous laptop to this one, including all of my music, books, and videos. I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it will not add any music to my library. My library is always empty and has the buttons to go the the iTunes Store and/or Scan For Music. I cannot add any files to the library. After I click on the file that I want to add, nothing happens. I can't even transfer my previously purchased music from my iPad to my library. Again, nothing happens.The only thing I have been able to transfer were my books that were on my iPad. No music, no apps, no videos. This is my second day working on this problem. I have used iTunes for years and have always been able to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, selected myself as administrator on the computer, troubleshooted compatibility issues, and tried multiple diagnostic runs. If someone could help me find a way to fix this, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Use Windows to go to your folders and find one of the problem files. Right-click it, and choose Open With > iTunes. If the file is compatible with iTunes, it will be added to the library and start playing. If nothing happens, the file is incompatible.

Printer communication error and cannot add a new printer

I was happily using my Epson Artisan 810 printer this morning, connected wirelessly to my iMac. All of a sudden I cannot print, get "Communication Error". Checked Epson's website, no luck there. Re-checked my wireless settings on the printer itself and re-confirmed them, it will print test pages from the printer, but still not communicating with the iMac. I thought that removing the printer and then adding it back in might help, but now I cannot add any printer at all.
I resorted to my MacBook Pro, and now have the same problem with this as well.
Any ideas please? What else can I check. My internet and so on are fine. The printer itself shows the wireless icon and says the reception is excellent on the printout it produced.
Thanks so much!

It would be unusual for only Bonjour to stop working in the printer. The more likely is that the printer is set to a different network subnet to that for your Mac or, as you mentioned, something like a firewall is blocking it.
The IP addressing is the most common cause. If there is a process to view or print the network settings for the Epson, then this will show what IP address range it has, which should be the same as your Mac. With the IP address, there will be four sets of numbers. For a typical home network, the first three sets are known as the IP subnet, while the last set is the network address. For example, a device with an IP address of 10.0.1.5, has an IP subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 5. For your Mac to 'see' the printer, both devices would need the same IP subnet, while having a different network address. So if you can check what IP address the Epson has, you may find it is using a different IP subnet to your Mac.

Cannot add shared Contacts in Open Directory from a client

Hello all
I need to transfer vCards from a local Address book to the Server and I need them to be shown in each client's Address book.
*Problem 1:* I cannot add or edit shared contact using the Directory app. from a client to a 10.5.3 Server. Only the Directory Admin credentials are valid. The client 10.5.5 is bound OK. The app is configured to use password, not Kerberos, and the Server is "responding normally" in the Directory Utility application.
I can even login as a mobile user with Network Home. Same there.
*Problem 2:* Ive put in Address Book the correct LDAP settings, but I cannot see a catalog of vCards. If I search using the search field, I get results, but I need them to be shown all as catalog.
Thanks in advance

This turned out to be a reverse DNS configuration problem. Apple support suggested using a local ip address instead of my public host name. That worked so I looked into the reverse dns configuration. I fooled myself by thinking that if I could reach my host with my.host.com with other services like http, that my DNS was set up correctly. My reverse DNS originally resolved to my.host.com when it should have been something more like 123-456-789-103.cos.pcisys.net. Now I can reach my host from anywhere with the Directory application.

I cannot add a Wi-Fi guest network. Gone to Utilities>Airport Utilities and all I get is an image/browser of my Airport Extreme. Looking for the browser window which has the title Wireless but cannot find anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

Open AirPort Utility. The first screen looks something like this:
Click on the AirPort Extreme and another screen will appear. Click Edit, then the window with the Wireless tab will appear.
If you do not see these screens, you will need to start over and configure your AirPort again.

I have a G5 which I intend to keep.
Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
Apple made all the equipment I use.
Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
The least Apple could is.
A. Update itunes to run on a G5
Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
We buy apple why?
Quality.
Intuitive interface.
Stable software.
Design.
All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

My post on facebook this morning.
If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.
