I just got a new macbook, and airport wont connect to my internet.

when i try to connect to my wireless internet, i put in the correct password, and my macbook says "connecting to network", but right after it says "network time out". i have tried taking off the password and it still does not connect. i have tried plugging in the ethernet cord and that seems to work, but it wont connect through airport.
can someone please help.

Omar 182 and Freeky Geek,
I hate to ask you to give more money to apple but I suggest you try an Airport Express.
I bought one today, brought it home, disabled my DSL modem's wireless, plugged in the Airport Express and connected an Enet cable from the DSL modem to APE.
Using the Airport Utility I downloaded the latest APE SW version; configured my wireless network with WPA2 security and had my MacBook AND Lenovo T60 working off the Internet in no time (OK, less than an hour).
In the past 5-6 years I have bought and configured 3 (or 4?) Linksys wireless routers and it has never been this straight forward.
If you can spare the $100(US) I recommend it,
Carson

Just got a new iphone and it wont connect so I can restore all my apps etc.. tried different cords and outlets but no good ..

Just got a replacement iphone 4 and it wont connect to itunes for me to restore things. It started to sync but then itunes froze so once I tried to connect it wouldnt do it .I tried new cords, new outlets, and new computer but nothing.. ahhhhh less stress when I had no phone i think ... help

Try unchecking the "Encrypt backup" checkbox. You will still have to enter a password, but you can go through a lot of passwords faster this way. If you ever had a corporate Ms Exchange account try your old domain passwords. Also try familiar passwords all lower case.
Finally, there is a professional password cracker that is made primarily for the law enforcement market by Elcomsoft. It will always be able to find your password, but it may take years to do it if you had a really good password. You can give it a list of passwords that you have used, however, and it will try variations on them, as well as dictionary searches. It's expensive, but there is a trial version that will give you the first two characters of your password.

So we just got a new Macbook and I also installed the apple configurator tool. I'm using it to prepare the iPads for deployment and it won't let me prepare them? It gets an error stating "retrieving iOS info from apple" then it stops and says "internet error". My Internet connection is fine with the Mac-book. It shows the iPad is listed under the Prepare logo up top as 1 but under supervise none are shown. Although it does show itself in iTunes. Also the profile I created is fresh and has no errors. We have tryed nearly everything I cna think of and online forums are not giving us to much info on this error.

A wag at this. A port issue?
"Apple Push Notification network setup
When MDM servers and iOS devices are behind a firewall, some network configuration may need to take place in order for the MDM service to function properly. To send notifications from an MDM server to Apple Push Notification service, TCP port 2195 needs to be open. To reach the feedback service, TCP port 2196 will need to be open as well. For devices connecting to the push service over Wi-Fi, TCP port 5223 should
be open."

Help! I just got a new MacBook and I cannot figure out how to authorize it to play my purchased iTunes music.

Hi!
I just got my new Macbook today (!!!) and I love it, but I can't figure out how to authorize this computer to play my purchased itunes music. I don't have any other computers authorized to play my purchased music, as I have de-authorized my previous computer. How do I authorize this new one? I know the FAQ section says to go to Store > Authorize computer, but I can't seem to find where this is located? I've never owned a Mac before.

Silly me... I didn't realize that the top of the screen changes as you change windows (unlike windows computers). Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it!

New macBook and Airport Extreme Connection to a Classic iMac

I have an iMac Power PC 750 (32.24) operating with OS X v. 10.3.4. I currently am hooked into the internet with a Siemens Speedstream 420 DSL modem. I plan to buy a new macBook and want to use it with a wireless router. According to the information in the Apple catalog, the current Airport Extreme Base Station will not operate on the version of OS X that I have available in my Classic iMac.
If I buy the new Airport Extreme router, can I set up the Airport Extreme router using the new macBook and simply connect my Classic iMac to the internet using the ethernet port on the Airport Extreme router and an ethernet cable. The iMac does not have an Airport card.
Thanks

Yes, it is fairly simple, but that is relative to your familiarity and experience. You use the AirPort Utility and it walks you through the basic set up. You have the option to manually configure additional detailed or advanced features at any time later. Enable the WPA2 Personal encryption, that will require wireless clients to enter a password, there is also a feature to turn off broadcast or stealth mode, I don't remember what they call it exactly now, so that the network name is not broadcast for additional security, so to connect you have to manually enter the WiFi network name and password. I bought an open-box unit, which was actually used/returned and had already been set up with a network name and password, so I had to perform a factory reset, it took a couple of tries to get it to reset, but then it worked fine.
The default internet configuration should work when you hook everything up, most of the time. It usually searches all available network ports until it finds one available, but you may specify particular settings when you are at home, at work, or at a public hot-spot, or dial-up, so you can manually connect to the preferred method, or change the order in which it searches, so as not to wait for the computer to search for a connection that isn't available, or sometimes get confused thinking it might be available and continue to wait. You use System Preferences: Network to control this. Create a new Location, then look at the Network Port Configurations, you can deselect the ones that don't apply, so on the iMac you would have only the Built-in Ethernet active, but on the MacBook you would use the AirPort. You can drag these around so the preferred one is on top of the list.
Most wireless routers will work fine with both Macs and PCs, I bring a Dell home from work and use it fine on my AirPort. The AirPort Utility on the CD can be installed on a XP/Vista PC also. Conversely, some non-Apple third-party router web-based configuration utilities may require Internet Explorer that might not work with Safari on the Mac.
"The way to go," depends on your needs. Check the specs for total number of wired ports, max number of wireless ports, speed, range, etc. for what you think will satisfy your needs for your network. The AirPort Extreme Base Station may have a higher price tag than some other brand wireless routers, but it works great and has some unique features such as the shared USB port for printer or USB disc sharing. Other than sharing the internet connection, you will also be able to share a printer and the hard drives, iTunes libraries, and even remotely control one computer from the other using a Virtual Network Computer software like Chicken of the VNC.

I just got a new Macbook and I put all music on a flash drive from my PC to mac. Some music (seems to be the newer purchases) are grayed out and will not play??

I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro. All of my music was on a PC computer. I don't really know how to work with PCs but I am more than familiar with Macs. I have an iPhone with all of the grayed out music on it and they play fine. They play on the PC too. But when I transferred them over, they just won't play. There is also a little cloud with an arrow pointing downward which I thought meant download.
So I read another thread that said to log out of itunes and this would be fixed. I logged out and back in again and now the grayed out music is GONE. Just gone. I have everything on a flash drive still, so no big deal but is there a way I can get all of the music to download? And not be grayed out this time?

Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

You could also copy your old /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder from the old computer to the new one.

Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

why is it taking forever to load!?

The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
What are these files? Where are they now?
Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
Good luck & happy computing!

I just got a new imac and mail wont work.

The second I open it the pinwheel starts. I have to force quit it every time. I literally cannot do anything in it.

Hey guys i figured it out. I called support and they helped me.
Turn your wireless or any other internet connection off and restart your computer.
Make sure it is still off when it starts back up.
Open mail > file > preferences > accounts and remove the @me or mobile me email from the(by selecting the account and clicking on the little "-" button at the bottom.
Go into your system preferences into icloud and sign out then uncheck icloud from the mail preferences.
Restart your computer again
Turn on wifi/internet connection and open mail.
Everything should load better
Then add your icloud account back to mail if you need it and sign back into icloud.
Hope this helps because it helped me!!

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
Also... Have a look at these 2 Videos...

I just got a new Macbook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and lost all my songs on my iPod. How do I get them back?

I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased. I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod. I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it). During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync. I just kept deleting and adding mine. Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod. Please help.

Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
Connect the iPod to the Mac
Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
Set it to Manually Manage Music
Sync your selected songs in your library.
Whern sync complete, Eject it
Connect it to your Windows PC.
Select the song in the library
Sync it.
It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
Good luck!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion
