hi
i just bought a wireless router and i cannot get it to work. it is a wrt54g v6. the power light keeps flashing. I tried talking with linksys to get it fixed, but nothing is working. it says to disconnect from the modem and update my firmware, but i cant get the IP address to come up on the address bar. can someone please help me out.
thank you
angela

If you have just bought the router and it has a flashing power light return the router. It is not worth trying to revive a broken router in that case. Return the router and get a properly working one. I would not want to start with a broker router even if you may be able to revive it. You'll never know what caused the problem and whether you will have more issues later.

  • I just bought the iPhone 4s and I cannot get my account set up on iTunes.

    I just bought the iPhone 4s and everytime I try to set up my credit card info on iTunes I get this message: "Your credit card information does not match your bank records.  Please enter a U.S. credit card and matching billing address." Help. Info is correct!  I even tried to copy and paste it from my bank website and the message still pops up???  I tried it multiple times on my iPhone and multiple times on my HP PC.  Any ideas????  Has this happened to anyone else?

    I know this sounds really basic, but did you remove the protective plastic film?  I was going to leave mine on for protecting the screen and had the same issue.  I removed it as it was the source of the problem.
    Good luck!

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • I've just bought an ipod touch. I cannot get beyond the question asking me for a network name. I don't have a mobile telephone which I think this question is referring to. All I want from an ipod is to listen to music. What should I do?

    You have to activate a new iPod by either setting it up via wifi network that has an internet connection on to connect to a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection.
    You can go to an Apple store or or to a friend's house if necessary

  • I just bought a new computer and can't get it to import my music?

    I just got a new computer and want to get all the music, applications, contacts, and everything else synced with my iTunes. How do i do it? I have all the stuff on my old computer, but I don't want to risk losing the stuff on my phone. Help please!

    Transfer your iTunes folder (which contains your entire iTunes library) from your old PC to your new PC. On Windows, your iTunes folder is in the “My Music” folder. Place it in the same location on your new PC and quit iTunes before making the transfer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with iTunes with your iTunes account.
    Syncing contact information and calendar events is done by iTunes with the supported application on your computer, but is not stored by iTunes.
    You can sync contact info and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or contact info with the Address Book used by Outlook Express with XP, or with the Address Book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    Before syncing contact info with the supported application on your new computer, enter one contact in the address book on your computer. Make one up if needed. If you are syncing with Outlook 2003 or 2007, do the same with a calendar event.
    This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
    Any photos transferred from your old computer to your iPhone need to be transferred from your old computer to your new computer.

  • Just bought new MacBook Pro and can't get FCP Studio to load on it. Any Help!

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I tried to load FCP Studio on it and it says it does not support it. I use FCP Studio 2 and I need to use it as I don't know FCP X. Any suggestions. I currently have FCP Studio 2 on a 2008 Mac Pro with Maverick on it.
    Thanks, Gale

    Final Cut Studio 2? That's 8 years old...4 OS versions ago.  Mavericks doesn't take FCP 7 into account, much less FCP 6.  In fact, to even install FCP 6 onto the PREVIOUS OS, Mountain Lion, you had to hack the terminal, or install Pacifist and do some shenanigans to get it to recognize the installer. 
    In short, it's very difficult to get older, discontinued software to work on new computers with new OSs.  If you need to use FCP 6, then you need to stick to older computers and OS's that run it. 
    It is on your 2008 MBP because, no doubt, you upgraded the OS around the already installed apps.  I'm not sure how well it will work.

  • Just bought an iphone 5 and trying to get into the app store without success

    I just bought an iPhone5 and am brand new to it......trying to explore to find out what apps are available.  when i tap the apps icon i get a white screen and it just sits there.
    What am i doing wrong?

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • TS1702 I just downloaded an app (SwitchDraw) and I cannot get it to open. Any assistance is appreciated.

    I'm running widows 7 and downloaded the app SwitchDraw and I cannot find a way to run it. This is my 1st app purchase so it may very well be something simple.

    You won't be able to open it on a computer, if this is the correct app, Switchdraw, then you will need to install it onto an iPad - from the app's description page in the store
    Compatibility: Requires iOS 5.0 or later. Compatible with iPad.
    If you don't have an iPad then you can try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Just bought Windows XP laptop and can't get it to see my mac mini

    I bought a netbook for easy cheap web surfing, windows xp.
    However, really want it to be able to read Itunes and Photos from my mac mini.
    I just can't get it to see the mac mini at all.
    I have set up Itunes and photos folders for sharing, and on the sharing page
    set up for windows access.
    I have seen various forums where it says log in as windows user in the accounts setting, however my accounts setting does not have this option when you open it.
    I am at a loss.
    Does anyone know the way to sort this?
    Many thanks

    Hi- can you please clarify:
    1. Is your netbook and your mac mini connected to the same network? How are you connected to the network? WiFi or LAN? Are you using a router?

  • HT1222 Hi there just bought new iPad mini and can't get iOS 7 to update on it???

    Help can't seem to update my new iPad mini to IOS 7 x

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
        1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
        2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
        3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
        4.    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
        5.    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
        1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
        2.    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
        3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
        4.    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
        5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
        6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
        7.    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
        8.    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom
