I've bought a new computer and can't seem to get my router & network adapter set-up

I just bought a faster computer and when trying to install the software for my router (BEFW11S4) and network adapter (WUSB11) I'm getting an error that I need to be connected to the internet.
DUH! The whole point of installing these 2 is so that I can get to the internet.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Can someone give me step by step "wireless for dummies" terms on how to install on the new computer? Someone told me that I shouldn't be trying to configure the router so I'm not sure if that's the problem.
Any help I could get would be great!
Thanks,
Robin

ok./...first the adpater....
insert the setup disc into the cd rom....exit the linksys screen when it pops up....
now plug in the WUSB11....you will get a found new hardware....hit next and then select the "automatic" option....hit next and windows should search for the drivers and install them. ( if you are trying to use the ELA ot ELC ....don't do so )
As far as the router is concerned....the config depends upon your ISP....if it's a cable connection....turn off all devices....then turn on the modem , router and PC ( in this order) ....check if you are going online.....if not...., in the browser key in http://192.1681.1 "admin" is the password....once in the setup page....click on MAC address clone....select enable and then "clone"....save settings....power cycle again and check if you are online.....
In case you are using a DSL....go to the setup page of the router , and from under "internet connection type' select PPPoE....enter your username and password...save settings and check if you are going online....

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.

What is the name of the Bookmarks file? I just bought a new computer and can't find the file to transfer from the old computer. I'm going from Windows XP to Windows 7

I was running Firefox 4.1 on a 32 Bit Windows XP Computer. I just bought a 64 Bit Windows 7 computer and reinstalled Firefox. I backed up all of my XP programs and data to an external drive but I can't find a file for my previous Firefox Bookmarks. What is the filename and possible folder where I can find my old bookmarks and how do I import them into my new version?

Bookmarks and history are stored together in your profile folder in a database file named places.sqlite. These articles should help with restoring as much or as little of your other profile as you like:
Locating the folder: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help]
The following article has suggestions for recovering bookmarks: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks Lost Bookmarks | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
To move more settings, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
Hope this helps.

I bought a new computer and can't sync my library to my iPod.

My computer crashed so I bought a new machine. I was able to load my library and also pull the files from my old hard drive. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer, it recognizes it and says it's syncing, but when it's finished, the new files aren't on my iPod. I'm a podcast junkie so I like to be able to update it daily. I'm on an iPod Touch and a PC. Any thoughts?
Also, when I imported my files from my old hard drive, I saved them to a folder on my desktop. Is there anything else I would need to do with that?

- Is the computer authorized for the iTunes account(s) used on the iPod?
- Are you syncing or manually managing music?
- In iTunes if you go to Preferences and then go to the Devices tab, what date is show for the iPod backup? Is if before you switched computers?
- Your iPod sees the new computer as a new library/computer and you can only sync to one library. You need to restore you iPod from a backup. If that bacup is hosw in Preferences, restore from that backup.
- If the backup is after you switched computers, you have two options:
--- Try to make a backup by right clicking on the iPd under Devices in iTunes and selecting backup.
--- If you can't make a backu, can you get one from the backup of your old computer. It is located here and yu may have to have show hidden files turned on.
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

My itunes library is on an external drive and i just got a new computer and i cant seem to get the new computer to recognize the connection ?

new computer isn't recognizing external drive containing itunes content?

This article should help. You didn't mention what format the files are in and what format the external hard drive is, however this article povides the basics. You're probably most interested in the last section titled 'Adding content on your computer to iTunes'.

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.

I bought a new computer and tried to authorize it. It states that I already have 5 computers that are authorized. I no longer have any of those 5 computers. How do I deauthorize all of them, as it is not shown as an option, as my new computer since it is not authorized.
Thanks

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5... I bought a new computer and it will not load. Can I get another of the same version? or do I have to buy a new one?

I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5. I bought a new computer and what I have will not load. I love this version. Can I get a new cd that will load into Windows 7? or do I have to buy a complete new program?

No CD, but you can download the installation files if you have the serial number, and the previous install has been deactivated
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
or
Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
If you are unable to deactivate the earlier installation, you wil need to phone customer support and ask them to reset your activations.

I bought a new computer, and when transferring over to new computer, forgot bookmarks, now I can't find them on my old computer!

We bought a new computer, and somehow bookmarks did not transfer to new computer, and now i cannot find them anywhere!

at the end of the article Ed mentioned is
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
I actually copied most of my user application data from my old system to my new system and that includes all of my Firefox profiles. If I just wanted one profile, I would create the new profile on the new system and copy the old profile into it as I have much too much in the way of modifications to risk losing. as opposed to copying just a few files to the new profile.
Since it appears you only want/need your bookmarks file, then assuming your old system is operational and was using Firefox 3.0 or higher,
bring it up type in about:support or use Help -> Trouble Shooting Information then click on "Open Containing Folder" You will find your old places.sqlite file there or you can restore the latest .json file from the bookmarksbackups directory with the help of a USB thumb drive.
The places.sqlite file would be copied into your new profile with Firefox down and check the Windows Task Manager's Processes Tab to make sure firefox.exe is not running (Window's 7 only keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Esc).
If you restore a bookmarkbackups .json file you would do that with your new Firefox open and through the Library list ("Ctrl+Shift+B") then "Import and Backup" on the Library menu bar, then "Restore" then "Choose File" the restore will go very fast.
Since you are going to a new system and both Firefox 4 and Windows 7 may both be new to you, and I would suggest checking out the following two articles where you may find solutions to some of the problems with each, or how to work with them.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
