I have WRT54G v3.  Have new computer running vista -- changed WEP security to WPA.  New computer works fine. 
Went to use my laptop today and even though it shows a WPA secured connection and says I'm connected -- I can't get on-line.  Laptop uses WIN XP.  New computer and older wired desktop connecting fine.
What do I need to do to make hp laptop & new hp compatible? 
Thanks 

I followed directions for Nortons firewall -- I also downloaded Network Magic. 
Last night I ran ipconfig on both computers and didn't change anything but they both came on-line.  Not sure what or why but they were at least working.
Just now I followed directions for Nortons firewall on new computer which has 2008 I believe........then downloaded Network Magic and installed on both PC & laptop.
The only difference is the version of Norton which os '05 on the laptop.  I see a secure connection - WPA - on both computers.
New question:  I have a 3rd computer, an older PC which is connected direct to the router.  This is primarily for my husband to use for e-mail and browsing the web -- no need to share any files and it has a separate printer.     Should I also run Network Magic on that computer or leave it as is?
Thanks so much to both of you.  I was up till late worrying about this.

    Hi guys...I have just got a new computer and want to get my library back up and running on it. However I seem to be missing some of my iTunes music purchases. Any ideas on how to get them back? They show up on my ipad but not my actual itunes account.

    Hello there, Capricious13.
    There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO BUY A NEW COMPUTER TO RUN FIREFOX,WHEN I HAVE OS 10.5?

    It's ridiculous that I should have to buy a new computer to run Firefox,just because I have OS 10.5. You must think people are made of money.

    First off you should update to Firefox 16.0.2, which is the latest version of Firefox that will run on your PC. It isn't the most modern, but it's faster and more secure that 3.5.
    We dropped support for Mac 10.5 just like we drop support for other old operating systems. The userbase on it is decreasing (due to users upgrading) and continuing to support it is hold back innovation for more modern Operating Systems.
    As for why it is considered old, blame Apple. They released 10.5 in 2007 and stopped supporting it in 2009. Because you have an Intel Processor you can probably upgrade to Mac 10.6, which should be something like $20USD.

    I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Why would I have to buy a new computer to sync my new iPhone 4?

    If I had a PC, I probably wouldn't have this problem. First of all, I have a Mac 466MHz PowerPC G4 that runs OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). It works just fine. I cannot upgrade to (Leopard), because my MHz is not over 600MHz or something. I cannot upgrade to (Snow Leopard) because my computer does not have an Intel processor in my computer. I bought a "PHONE", just a phone. No other phone would be giving me this problem. I shouldn't have to buy a new computer just to sync my phone to the computer to get all my music. I am probably going to a have to return my phone, because what's the point? I don't have another computer to export my iTunes library to. Does anyone else have this problem? HELP!

    The PowerPC 466MHz G4 was discontinued on the 18th July 2001, according to some light research on the inter web, that's over 9 years ago, while I understand your frustration, you must have come up against some other issues with new technology not being compatible or useable with your current system, USB 2.0, PCIe, DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 RAM, SATA hard drives to name but a few.
    I'm not having a dig here, but as others have said, the requirements for using the iPhone have been readily available for each release of the iPhone. If you chose not to check those prior to purchasing the iPhone, that is your responsibility, not Apple's.
    Personally, I would be writing a thread praising Apple for making a machine over 9 years ago which is still running well for you today, instead of having a go about current technology not being compatible with what can only be described, from a technological standpoint, as a fossil.
    If you had a PC, especially of the same age, it would probably sitting there not working at all. Hardware in PCs is generally outdated faster than on Macs.
    As for "if you bought a phone, just a phone" you wouldn't be able to sync that to any device. Just a phone plugs into a wall mounted telephone socket. As for syncing non Apple Mobile phones with Mac OS X, the reason I bought the original iPhone and every iPhone upgrade since, is because it was the first mobile phone that could sync to a Mac efficiently and accurately.
    If you think you'll be better off with a PC and just a phone, enjoy your shopping experience, oh and remember to pick up some Anti-virus software while you're there, you'll definitely need it. (You'll need iLife replacement programs too while you're at it. Oh yeah and PC variants of any third party software you currently use on your Mac).

  • TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library.  Also, I can't add new files.

    I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them.  Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library.  It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine.  I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing.  Hope someone can help me. Thanks

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Ad iTunes on previous computer, can't find my libraries now I have re-downloaded for new computer. My wedding tunes were on my old iTunes - have I lost them all??

    I had iTunes on previous computer, can't find my libraries now I have re-downloaded for new computer, does this mean I have lost all my music content? My wedding music was on there, and i had paid loads to download stuff. I assumed it was all saved somewhere like hotmail messages. Any ideas, please? Jane

    Download Past Purchases
    Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
    2) See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store.

    I have just got a new computer and I want to transfer Adobe Acrobat to my new one can this be done ?

    Hi Ianpce,
    You need to download and install Adobe Acrobat on the new machine to use it.
    You can use the same subscription or the serial number to activate the product.
    Thanks

  • My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable.  Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?

    My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable.  Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?

    Nothing gets imported.  Simply restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the new/restored computer.
    Download and install iTunes from Apple's website.
    The first time iTunes is launched, assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder is restored to the correct location, it will launch and be exactly as it was prior to the comptuer issues.  If for some reason this does not work, close iTunes, hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose or create a new iTunes library.  At this point simply point iTunes to the correct location for the existing iTunes library.
