HELP!!! New laptop and need to connect to internet

I just bought a HP dv6t laptop. It has all the connections labelled very well but I am having a problem getting connected.
I have a desktop computer as well and I disconnceted the cable from the cablebox/modem and tried to connect it to the port on the right side of my laptop. It doesn't fit there but it does fit in the networking port on the left side of the laptop.
How do I connect my laptop to the internet? I have comcast cable, phone and internet. There is a snall box with no connection except to the TV and other box. The second box has many connections, one of which connects from the box to the cable wall outlet. Do I just need a phone connection line?
HELP!!!! Please!!!

Do you have a cable modem? Do you have a router?

You cannot, nor do you need to, until you reach the limit of 5. Once you reach 5, then you can deauthorize all, and then authorize the active computers.

I have a new laptop and need to sync my itune library with it ... how do i do this ?

I have not backed up my itune library from previous laptop and have a new laptop. Got a new iphone which has all my music but since i bought a new laptop and want to sync my music on iphone with my new lapotp... how do I do this ?

the proper way is to transfer your itunes library from the old laptop and resync your iPhone to the new computer.
It will erase the iPhone and load it again from the new laptop.
If you do not have access to your old laptop and the iTunes library...
well there are ways of getting things off iPhone but you need to google for third party software to do it.

Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

I just had a similar problem. Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it. if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on. i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number.
My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2. The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router. I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it. BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

New ipad and Macair not connecting to internet

i just got an ipad and macair. when setting up the wi-fi, it looks as if its connected with all the bars showing. but when i click safari, it says not connected to the internet. i have done everything on the wi-fi help page. and reset the network about 50 times. but always the same result. i really havent tried the macair yet. any suggestions to get it to connect to the internet?

WPA2/personal - I do have the greed LED light and I can acess the internet on my iMac via the LAN port. I powered off the comcast modem and the Extreme and the iphone and the iPad and then started up the Extreme and then the modem and then the others. No joy. on both iPhone and iPad I get 'this webpage is not available' when I try to connect via the wireless network.
I keep thinking this is something simple I'm overlooking as I had no problem until I replaced the Extreme. I did not set up a new wireless network. Could that somehow be a cause..?

New house, new ISP and mac not connecting to Internet

Ok i give up!
Just moved to a new apartment, and have cable internet access instead of DSL for the first time.
So i have a wirless router from Cablecom, with 4 ethernet ports, but the wireless signal is a bit low so have also connected my Netgear wndr4500 to one of the ports and My PC, ipad and iphone all connect to the Netgear wifi and out to the internet no problems.
The imac running 10.8 connects internally but not to the internet.
I can connect to cablecom router from the mac and access the settings so i know the wireless network is ok on the mac but that seems to be as far as it gets.
I have tried connecting direct via cablecom router wifi, and via ethernet cable to the router and same symptoms.
Have deleted the network and remade it from scratch.
Still same, when i go to google.com ( for example ) it simple says not connected to the internet.
However if i use network utilities on the mac, and ping 173.194.33.50 it returns with all 10 and no packet loss
I put that address in a browser and i get google.com, but can't get past it
So now i'm stumped!
Any suggestions????.
Thanks
David

Launch the Network Utility application.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and enter
google.com
in the address field. Press return. Post the output – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same.

My iPhone is currently set up on a laptop where I use itunes to sync music and apps, I have a new laptop and want to connect it to that but am worried I will lose everything? Will this happen? If so can anybody give me advice on what to do?

At the moment I am unable to update my phone to any new software as I still have the software from when I first got my iPhone4. I would be very grateful if somebody had some advice for me on what I can do as I have a lot on my iPhone including songs, albums, games etc. and i really don't want to lose anything but I have heard connecting to a different laptop will wipe everything.

Thank u verrrrrrrrrrry much FoxFifth u save my life thank u.

My computer crashed and is no longer accessible. I bought a new laptop and need to know how i can transfer my old library.

My old laptop is completely crashed. can i get all my old itunes stuff onto my new computer???

Get it there from where?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries

Laptop and iPhone not connecting to internet, says password is invalid.

A few days ago, I realized our internet wasn't working as I couldn't go on the internet on my macbook. My iPhone is not connecting to wifi either. I go to connect to our internet, and it says the password is invalid but I did not change it. I've tried unplugging everything and restarting but nothing. I know our internet is still working as our TV is still working. Any ideas?? Thanks!

That was a scam, probably an attempt at phishing.

You should just copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

I need help with iTunes. I just bought a new laptop and I have a few questions

So I just bought a new laptop and few days ago. It's an HP. I have the iPhone 4 (8GB). So all my songs from iCloud are on my phone. I want to manually put them on my phone. All of my songs, videos, pictures etc. are on my new laptop. I went to apply the changes on iTunes when I selected "Manually manage music and videos". And a message came up saying "This iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on another PC. Do you want to choose to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" Under that it says "Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So what do I do? I don't want to click sync and loose everything on my phone. I will no longer use the other comuter. I really need help.
Thank you!

There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
You should be able to copy iTunes purchased music from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
If you still have your old computer and you haven't copied your library over form it, then there are also some methods listed on this page about how you could copy it over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - the page refers to music, but I've used the home sharing method to copy apps, films etc between computers.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.
