I cannot go online!! (on a different laptop)

Their is a MacBook in our house that has no access to the internet. All laptops in our house are connected to the internet just fine and we are using net-gear. On the MacBook, anytime I try to go on Safari or the iTunes music store, it doesn't connect.
I have a message saying the following anytime I open Safari:
Safari can't open the page "http://www.yahoo.com/" The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)." (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork:306) Please chose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
That was the message written on Safari. On iTunes, it simply tells me to check me connection. My connection is perfect. I've re-started the computer, turned off the computer for a few minutes, plugged off and plugged back on the router after a couple minutes, signed off the internet service and signed back on. I called Apple Support, but they were not much help. All they did is email me a couple links and they were not helpful. They gave me a link to the discussions/message boards here.
I think one problem might be this: We've had the MacBook since Christmas and we told the kids that receiving a Mac on the virus is rare. Maybe they thought Mac's were 100% invincible so they went ahead and downloaded a ton of games off the internet. This MacBook laptop was meant to be mainly for the kids. Right now, they cannot access anything online despite the internet connection showing that its 100% perfect.
All help will be appreciated. Thank you!

You do not have a virus. Let's get that out of the way up front.
Try this: Open System Preferences, and select the Network pane. Choose Airport from the menu on the left, then click the Advanced button in the lower right. Choose Proxies from the screen that appears, and make sure that nothing is selected anywhere, under "Manually" or under "Using a PAC file." The error you get suggests your MacBook is looking for a proxy server that doesn't exist.
If that still doesn't fix it, create a new user and see if the new user has the same problem. Post back and let us know your progress.

Laptop cannot go online with new HomeHub 4

Please excuse me for being a complete beginner - could any answers be in non-techno form please as I'm not aufait with most of the terms used!!
I installed our new HomeHub 4 yesterday and all computers/iphones/tablets managed to log in and go online - apart from one laptop. It is our oldest, running Windows Vista and I don't know if that may pose a problem. Having looked at other queries about this, I am still non the wiser as to how to get it online. I have managed to sign it into BT-Fon perfectly ok and at present it is going online etc through that. It obviously signs into the Hub but for some reason it just will not go through our secure network - it says it has signed into an unidentified network and has local access only. When looking at the network it is on, it is the only computer. My laptop shows every piece of equipment currently using the Hub, including this particular laptop, which seems to be on it's own network.
What I was really needing to know is if I have to get the laptop to 'lose' its previous network memory as I read somewhere here that Vista computers seem not to like having to go on new networks. If this is the case, how do I do it? I can find my way around a computer (eventually!) but am not an expert so would be grateful for any instructions to be written in simple speak.
Many thanks for any help offered - if you can understand the above!

Cannot get online with netbook

We upgraded to Infinity but now I cannot get online on my netbook. The icon and wireless connection panel indicate I am connected by when I launch my browser (IE) it says unable to display webpage. My husband managed to get online by using Openzone but this is not very satisfactory when we are paying for Infinity. Our OS is Windows XP.

Hi Jady and welcome
It's good you've got on line with Openzone, I presume from your own signal... checks that wireless connectivity is working between your Netbook and HH3.
If you go to your HH3 you can pull out a useful plastic card/tab which has your wireless code on it.
Then with your Netbook click on your wireless icon... probably bottom right and click on your wireless name.
This should say something like connect, enter in the wireless key exactly as shown on your tab/hub settings card.
And it should connect.
I removed the BT Help Desk software off my XP PC as it caused connection problems... kept saying connection failure did I want it fixed... say yes and click on the picture of the HH I was using then it went and connected.
I didn't have this problem on any of my other machines so as this XP PC was the only one with the BT software I removed it as it is uneccessary and the problem never re-occured.
A useful wireless scanner that's free http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ will show your home signals and
can help identify a clear or least used channel you can moved your HH3 from it's Automatic setting to this least congested channel.
Video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI It's the older version 1 but similar. You get a list of your signal and all your neighbours along with a time graph showing their signal strengths... the lower the number the stronger the signal is.
Mine is around 40 to 50, a picture in my post HERE showing my signal is the strongest and my neigbours which is on a nearby channel is weaker.... If it was the same signal strength I would move my HH3 wireless setting off the Automatic setting and set it to a clearer channel.
Let us know how you get on... I'm using a Win 7 laptop but have the PC running win XP upstairs and could go thru the exact log in process if you still have probs.
Please Click On any Text in Blue as that automatically links to information.

HT201263 After attempting to restore my iPhone several times on two different laptops, I have not success. My iPhone is locked with a passcode and I must enter it. The wrong passcode is what disabled my iPhone. What can I do?

I cannot restore my iPhone after several attempts on two different laptops. This is the message, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I don't have that option on my iPhone because I locked myself out, it reads "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes" what can I do?

Place your phone in DFU mode (search Google) and restore. You will lose all data on the phone.

Forgot iPhone 4s password! I have tried everything. I'm using a different laptop because my old one got stolen.

I recently changed my password and forgot it. I have tried everything. Pressing the home and power while conected and unconnected to iTunes. I am using a different laptop due to theft of my last one, would this make a difference . What can I do to unlock it! This is driving me crazy, I have been trying for a week now.
Pllease! Someone help! My IPhone is to the point where it's saying conect to iTunes because I have disabled it. Help!!

Check this apple doc out -> iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If you can't remember the passcode and don't have access to the other computer, you'll have to restore it and setu it up as a new phone.

HELP   Cannot run FLASH PLAYER on my LAPTOP Windows XP

Sept 8 2011     I hv been trying to run Adobe Flash Player v 10.1.3 on my laptop HP/Compac Presario V2410
for weeks now. I download program but it doesnt show up that it is on my computer.
I hv been trying every solution that ADOBE offers and I hv chked all over the internet. I hv tried every browser I.E.8,   Google Chrome, Monzilla FoxFire,
and nothing works.   I must get a solution b/c I working on developing my WEBPAGE that uses ADOBE FLASH.
Adobe FLASH PLAYER works on my 2 desktops... well atleast in Monzilla FoxFire & Google Chrome, sometimes works in I.E. 8.
On all my computers FLASH doesnt showup in my CONTROL PANEL in the Add/REMOVE Program section.
The name Adobe Flash shows up, but the megabyte amount doesnt.   So this leads me to believe that the program downloads, but never really
uploads to my computer. IT works only b/c it is already in GOOGLE Chrome & Monzilla FoxFire. BUT... I cannot get it going on my laptop which is running
Windows XP 32 bits SP3   AMD Turion 64   Proceesor    2GB RAM   Hard DRive 80GB - 57 GB free    CA ANTIVIRUS. I do disable my antivirus
when I download the FLASH program.
I just CANNOT BELIEVE that ADOBE puts out this program, and cannot get a SOLUTION to all of OUR PROBLEMS.
I see that THIS IS effecting 100's & 1000's of us. EVERYONE uses FLASH.   PLS ADOBE HELP ME & US OUT !!!.
PLS ADVISE

How can i use the same id on two different laptops?

When trying to use the same login on two different laptops so that i can connect my nook to either depending on which one is free, i get the error that the id is already in use on another computer?

The issue is embedded in the way the software works. To comply with the
Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000, all software companies in this
business keep track of where their software is installed, making
information about the computer and ereaders part of an ID file. So, your
user ID is embedded in the ID file of each computer, but each computer has
a different ID of its own that is also embedded in that file. Adobe's
master server (yes, there is one that you connect to even if you didn't
know it) also has that information, and when you try to use an ID on one
that's embedded in the file of another, Adobe's server blows the whistle,
and as you can see, you can't do that....

Can i sync my ipod on two different laptops?

My old lap died and I want to sync ipod to a different laptop that I use this a different ipod, ipad and iphone. I don't want to delete the contents of this ipod to do this. Any advice appreciated.

If you have a backup of your dead laptop's data, copy the contents of its iTunes Library into the iTunes Library of your "different" laptop.
Otherwise, you can take a look at tools like Senuti to transfer your media from your ipod to the "different" laptop. There are many other useful tools like Senuti; some work just as well and are even free.

My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?

You can have two separate libraries, just do not put them into the same location on the computer. You could also create a new user on the laptop, you, and then you would start out with a blank iTunes library, then just add yours to that. It would also prevent you and your girlfriend from mixing content up unless you share an Apple ID.

I have been trying to restore my ipod touch for several weeks. The ipod is on the usb-itunes screen but the computer will not recognize it. I have tried three different laptops and am now very frustrated. I have also tried several different usb connectors.

Try putting the iPod in DFU Mode vs. Recovery Mode.

Installing Lightoom and PS on a different Laptop

Hi,
I purchased Lightroom and Photoshop in May 2012. I have since misplaced the CD and I now need to install both applications on a different MAC laptop. Is it possible to download both applications again via the adobe website, without paying again? If so, how? Also, how many times can I do this on different laptops?
Thanks

Before you install Phooshop again, be sure to deactivate it on the first machine. You'll find the deactivate option under the help menu. Lightroom has no deactivation.
What you will need is the serial numbers for each. If you registered the software with your Adobe ID you can log in to your account and find them there.
As for downloading again, Adobe no longer offers trial versions of the software, which would have worked, as all the focus is on current releases of CC apps. I suggest you try and find someone who has discs and install from them but using your own serial numbers of course.
As for how many times you can do this. As many as you like so long as each time you deactivate first.

Use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Can I take a hard drive from a different laptop and replace it in my MacBook pro 2007

My MacBook pro (2007) has failing hard drive. Can I remove the hard drive from a different laptop ie. Toshiba, or HP and replace it with the failing hard drive?

yes you can....but any files/data on the other drive will be gone. also make sure that the drive you install is a SATA drive which is in your Macbook...
make sure you have your original install disk if you plan on doing a clean install.

I cannot go online!! (on a different laptop)
