Had to rebuild PC and now AE doesnt work - HELP!

My PC got all hogged-up with spyware and I had to rebuild. Now nothing works.
Currently, my PC connects via ethernet to a Linksys router w/ phone ports (vonage box), then to a Linksys 4-pt wireless router, then to the cable modem. I also have a laptop which connects to the wireless router for Internet, which is working fine.
Its been a while since I originally set this up, so maybe Im doing somthing dumb? I plugged AE into stereo, re-set to factory defaults and plugged it in (currently blinking amber). I installed the AirPort Utility on my PC, and it just comes back saying "unable to find any airport base stations".
I did also remove a wireless PCI card from the PC, but Im not sure it even worked and dont think it was being used in my scenario???
Ive restored the AE to factory default and uninstalled, and reinstalled Airport Utility several times. Not sure what to try next... any help?

If i have learnt anything about Apple its this.
Never, ever, ever, ever upgrade to anything until it is verging on obsolete. This way you can have stuff that works and let the upgraders have the grief of ironing out the bugs.
Also i have noticed Apple never say anything but 'versions' keep appearing that will hopefully fix your problem/other's problems. 7.7.1 fixd my Touch and as far as i am concerned that is it for me with upgrades.
They can keep the 2.0 i am afraid. £10 to turn a £300 machine into a high tech brick...no thanks.
Hope you get everything sorted anyway.

If that magnet was strong enough, it may have damaged your hard drive. You'll have to bring it in and see if you can get it repaired/replaced.

I have a pc and now itunes doesnt work. I have removed and tried deleting itunes and reinstalling and doesnt work

I have a Pc and been running Itunes off of it for years. Now it doesn't work. It doesn't run stating it is missing something. I have deleted the itunes and reinstalled and have run the repair as well and it doesnt work. I am not pleased. I need help!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

My ipod wont charge. The screen flashed white yesterday and now it doesnt work

My ipod wont charge. It died yesterday and when i did the lock home button thing the screen flashed white. After that the dead signal wont even pop up now an suggestion. Its a ipod touch 4 generation, 36gb I tried charging it to my computer, wii,tv, wall plug NOTHING WORKS.!
1. The lock button and home thing WONT WORK.

Try:
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Updated to 10.6.8 and now firewire doesnt work

I am on an imac intel core 2, 2.4 ghz, i just updated to 10.6.8 and now i cant access my external drive (g-drive mini) with fire wire, it works with USB still but not firewire. I cant see it in the system profiler or using disk utility but it is powering up when hooked up to the firewire and still beeps when its unplugged.
I also updated my MBP to 10.6.8 and the firewire still works on that one. Any help would be appreciated to get it working.
Thanks

If you have an os on the hdd, why not do a clean install of the os (erase the drive and reinstall osx snow leopard) For snow leopard you insert the osx disk, restart the machine while holding down the c key

Hello.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I tried to restore my ipod touch with itunes and now it doesnt work!!

I restored my ipod touch 2g and now when i turn it on it goes to the apple logo and turns off and thats as far as i get.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

I forget my password and inserted the instalation cd and now It doesnt work

I forget my password of my MacBook Pro and inserted the instalation cd to recover It and now It does not work what can I do

Which model Macbook Pro do you have?
It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue. Need details on what happens when you try to boot up from your install disc. Was it the disc that originally came with your computer?

Ipod went through washing machine and now backlight doesnt work

my idpod went through the washing machine, and now the light doesn't come on, but everything else still works. is there any way to fix it or am i out of luck?

How long did you let it dry before trying to use it? Put it in a cool, dry place for 5 - 7 days and see if it works after that time frame.
If that doesn't work you can try a 3rd party repair site such as http://www.iresq.com or Google for more.

People Cannot Hear Me When I make Calls on iPhone 4, Bought a new iPhone 4, uploaded all of my own information from the backup, and it still doesnt work, help!

I went in to apple, they couldnt figure it out, I am on AT&T so I was figuring on going into their store today and seeing if its something with the network, if not I am going back to apple, but this is literally a brand new phone i bought yesterday, not refurbished or anything, brand new, does anyone know why this isnt working? Everything else works fine, the mics both work, its just when I make calls or someone calls me the mic doesnt work.

When you see the same issue on more than one hardware device, it means that the problem is likely to exist outside of the hardware. Two things to investigate would be the software/firmware on the backup and issues with the cellular network. It's probably safe to rule out the cellular network as well.
First, make sure that you have imported copies of all the information (pictures, videos, documents) on the device. Do this thorough itunes, and the applications (photographic and document processing) on your computer. Perform a firmware update then restore the device as new. If the problem persists, then you may actually have the worst luck and discovered two devices with an identical issue.
Read each of the steps before initiating the DFU.
!. Connect the iPhone to any computer running a fully updated version of iTunes.
2. Press and hold both "home" and "sleep/wake" buttons
3. After eight seconds let go of only the sleep/wake button.
4. Keep holding the home button until you see a popup mesage in iTunes.
5. Read all all the popups, then use iTunes to update the iPhone's software.
If the popup fails to show, repeat steps 2 through 4

TS2634 i got a blue usb cable from apple sale they had and now it doesnt work

i got a blue usb cable from a sale that apple was selling and 1 month later it wont work and its in good condition so i dont know does a plle have a blue usb cable

Take it back to where you purchased it and ask for a replacement or refund. You are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself.
