I just swapped old modem for new model. Says I'm connected but airport flashing amber and no connection. Do I have to configure a new network???

I just swapped out old modem for new model. Airport flashing amber. Wi-Fi connection good but airport not responding. Do I need to configure a new network connection? Change anything in airport utility?

Welcome to the forum!
I'm a big fan of resetting in situations like this. Who knows what boxes you've ticked where...
Use the hard reset button with a paper clip on your Airport express. Hold it til the light starts blinking, then let it reset.
While it's resetting, go into your Network prefs and make sure you're set up to connect via Airport. Delete any references to your prior wireless network in the preferred networks section. Go into your keychain utility and delete any passwords there. (this is assuming you were using some form of wireless security).
After your AE has restarted, choose it from the Airport pull-down menu and run the Airport Setup Assistant utility. Once you've got it up and running, use Airport Admin utility to set security and passwords.
Seems drastic, but after all the poking around you've done, these steps should be pretty simple to perform. I'm guessing your original "Looking for PPPoE host" was a temporary problem with your IP. Maybe the ethernet cable was unplugged from AE?
Good luck

How to get pics from old phone to new phone using iCloud.

I just got the iPhone 5s and I used to have a 4. I backed up my pictures and contacts but the only thing that's on my new phone is my contacts. My old phone won't come back on. I need my pictures off of my old phone. My new phone says I don't have enough iCloud storage to backup. When I go to settings, iCloud, storage and backup, it lists my old phone and my new one. I don't know how to get my pictures back.

You have to use the other account or turn on sharing.

I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3. have new iphone4. how can i get music off old phone onto new one. new phone all set up. help

I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer. Thought I did it properly but did not. New at this stuff. Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone. Anyway to get it to new phone. Help.:)

Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone. You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.

HT201272 Problem with app from old phone to new phone

I had to get a new iPhone 5 and downloaded my existing apps through iCloud. However, one of the apps from my old phone was upgraded and I paid a yearly subscription fee. When I received my new phone and downloaded this upgraded app, my new phone did not recognize my paid subscription and now is prompting me for another upgrade. How do I get this phone to recognize my upgraded app?

back up your old phone using that
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
erase your new phone, by going to settings general reset -erase content and reset all settings
connect to your mac and restore from your back up.
Do not sync contacts, since your mountain lion has contacts of your husband.
Verify, that you use separate icloud accounts. Do not sync anything with itunes (including your apps and music) until you sign in to your own icloud account, after you verify that you have your own contacts on the phone.

How can I get photos from my old phone to new phone?

I Have been trying to move photos from my 4s to my 5s and don't know how to move these via icloud as want to give my old phone away

Add them to a shared stream as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99. You don't need to invite any subscribers; when asked to enter an email address, just tap Next to skip it (as the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed). Then open the shared stream on your 5s and save the photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then you can delete the shared stream.
Also, this is what you should do before giving away your old phone: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new. I pressed old and lost recent photos and apps. what can i do to undo this mess

An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes. In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps. Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?

So, what i need to is
1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
Is it correct?
After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
Or need to do manually?
Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

Problems with Cloning Old SSD to new SSD on i7 MBP

Alright, I'll try to be as brief as possible.
I recently transferred or am in the process of transferring my old info from a Mac Pro Tower to a new 2.8 i7 MBP. Previously, I had a 40GB SSD drive with my OS and Apps and it ran perfectly fine, however I needed more space. I ended up buying a Crucial M4 128GB SSD and upgraded the RAM to 16GB and have since had problems with the Crucial. I just now updated the firmware but that didn't seem to fix a thing.
So what I've done is initialized the M4 SSD w/ Disk Utility via Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and I've done a clone using Time Machine (it worked but it was really slow and would occasionally lag for 30 seconds out of nowhere with a beach ball) and I've also done a clone using Carbon Copy and that was ridiculously slow (I would get a beach ball every 5-10 seconds and just opening a new window in the finder would cause a beach ball).
I don't know what could be the problem. I've since made a bootable SD card with both Leopard and Lion, thinking I'd just install a brand new OS onto the new SSD, but those aren't working for some reason.
So yes, I'm currently using the previous and well-working 40GB SSD, but I'm lost and would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks in advance!

On NEW Macbook Pro's to boot from the Online Recovery HD system you hold down Command+Option+r.
I believe that it is cmd-r, no option key.
On new MBPs, late 2011 models (At least on mine) to access the Online recovery system you have to hold down Command+Option+r. Of course this was with Lion installed and a real Lion Recovery HD partition on the hard drive.
I can't find documentation anywhere for that, and my 2011 iMac goes to recovery using cmd-r and ignores cmd-opt-r, may I ask you to post the documentation?
Right there is none. As stated on my Late 2011 MBP 15" with hard drive installed with Lion and recovery HD partition in place to boot from the Online recovery system I must hold down Command+Option+r.
Now if I had no recovery HD partition maybe Command+r would work. I don't remember if I tried that, although I think I have and as far as I can recall it is the same.
This has been covered before with others doing tests and IIRC all others with NEW MBPs need to hold down those 3 key to access the online system. Note that this is on NEW, late 2011, MBPs. Not sure about early 2011 models or late 2010 models with the updated firmware.
In any event holding down those 3 keys if the other command, Command+r, doesn't work won't cause any harm to the computer. It's not like the computer will self destruct if you hold down those keys.
On the same Mac to boot the Online Apple Hardware Test, which is normally holding down the d key, I have to hold Option+d. There's no documentation on that either.
