Hook up laptop to computer

I am looking to hook up my laptop to my computer and my computer has a mini DVI. What cords do I need?

Since the mini-DVI does not carry audio, you'll need to find something that can combine the Mac's audio and video signals into an HDMI signal like this set of boxes.

Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

My i-pod key pad/wheel won't work unless it is hooked up to my computer

I bought my i-pod a while back, and it has worked fine until now. My i-pod key pad/wheel thing won't work unless I have it hooked up to my computer. When it is hooked up it works fine, when it isn't hooked up the key-pad/wheel thing won't respond to any thing, it just won't work. Please help me figure out what is wrong with my i-pod and fix it!!!!!

No. Back it up anyway. If you can't use the built-in backup function of iTunes, find the library in the Windows Explorer and back that folder up as you would any other.

My laptop has crashed and I'm in between getting a new one but need to update my iOS on my iPad, is there anyway of doing this without a laptop or computer?

If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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).

If you mean the hexidecimal equivalent of the alphanumeric password, then you can find this via the AirPort Utility, as follows:
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
On the AirPort Utility's menubar select Base Station > Equivalent Network Password

"The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The Server does not support this version of iTunes." Any thoughts? Also, iPod will not turn or or charge (tried in my laptop, house computer and dock) I have all the lastest updates to my knowledge

"iPod software update server could not be contacted. The Server does not support this version of iTunes." iPod will not turn on or charge or reset settings. I tried plugging it in my laptop, house computer and docking station to charge and nothing. Also, I have all the latest software updates to my knowledge. This is a classic 8GB iPod, running of Windows 7. Any thoughts/suggestions?

only thing that seems to work so far is syncing without photos and also check here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206849?start=30&tstart=0

Hello Rod2174,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPod shuffle. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues transferring music to your iPod or playing music that is on your iPod, you may find the information and articles linked from the following page helpful:

I would like to hook my laptop to my desktop and use my larger screen to edit pictures how do I do that

i would like to hook my laptop since it is much more updated and is running cs5 and lightroom 4 to my desktop which has a larger screen for editing

If this is just any 2 Macs, you may be able to use ScreenRecycler, from the same developer that wrote JollysFastVNC

In theory, a DisplayPort based iMac (something late 2009) can be used as an external screen from another Mac with DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port. I know that was one of the features listed back in 2009 when I got my 27" iMac, BUT I've never tried it, so I'm not sure of the details on making that work. I assume a mini-DisplayPort to mini-DisplayPort connector is needed, but that is just a guess.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

We bought a used Ipod Touch from a private party. We can download music when it's hooked up to the computer but can't download any games or songs by using the wifi. How can we change the password so we can do this?

You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.

Is there any way to find the serial number of an ipod touch that is no hooked up to the computer? It was stolen and we need the number to give to the police.

Trouble hooking up a second computer

Hello,
I am trying to hook-up a second computer onto the FIOS router via wire. The computer is a Dell that was previously used in another home with a DSL link. The network is configured to automatically get a new IP address but it still retains the old address. I tried ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew. When I used ipconfig /renew I got a timeout error that said it was "unable to contact your DHCP server" I have tried multiple ports on the router, including swapping ports with this computer that obviously works. Any suggestions?

doodad98..Make sure in network connections that all LAN properties are to obtain IP automatically along with obtains DNS automatically. Also check internet explorer then under tools/ internet options/ connections make sure never dial a connection is checked & then under LAN settings tab that automatically detect settings is checked. let us know. Also when you do a ipconfig from dos prompt what is the IP address your getting and are you able to ping the default gateway?

Dv 6809wm laptop. Computer still does not boot up when battery out and ac adapter plugged in?

dv 6809wm laptop. Computer still does not boot up when battery out and ac adapter plugged in?
It lights up initially for a split second when I push power button, but does not continue to boot up. When ac adaptor is put in it glows blue like it is supposed to. Any suggestions?

i'm going to try to see if a different ac adaptor will work hopefully that solves the issue.

HT4527 I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone?

I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone? I have no access to my old computer and the songs on it are from cds not itunes purchases
Please help!!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
