Installed a new DSL router, now AirPort won't work

My DSL router started dying a few days ago. The tech from my provider came right out and replaced it; the wired connection to my MacBook Pro is fine, and the wireless connection to the old iBook G4 via AirPort initially worked OK, but now the house wifi name won't even show on the menu.
When the new router was programmed, it was set to "Enable DHCP Server".
The router is a Comtrend ADSL. I'm logged onto it now, and the settings at the "Management" control panel DHCP are "enable" and "disable". Is there anything I should change there?
Under "Access Control", I'm shown a table headed "Feature/root/support/user/apuser" with category titles like "account access", "wireless - basic", and "wireless - advanced", and under the "account access" category, there are popdown menus with choices "none", "LAN", "WAN" and "both". Is there anything I need to change there?
Any ideas? I'm kind of feeling my way through this, so apologies in advance if nothing makes any sense.
Machines involved in this fracas are a G4 iBook, an Intel MacBook, an iPad2, and a couple of iPhones. Main wired connectivity is OK on a MacBook Pro, which is probably snickering smugly as I type this.
Thanks in advance,

almost all Netgear routers have a firewall. So log into the router. Username Admin and password is probably password. If not these days they print in on the bottom of the router. Check the ports used for mail are not blocked.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

I bought Cool Edit Pro v. 2 many yrs ago. loaded onto new PC and now it won't work

It now thinks it's a "trial version" and won't let me use it. It's NOT A TRIAL VER, I PAID FOR IT. The Adobe support guys don't want to help, I need a work around

I loaded it using the original CD and license number. My old PC had Windows XP but my new PC has Windows 7. It worked for a while, but then up pops the "trial version" stuff saying I used up my 12 free hours. It wasn't a trial version, I bought it years ago and have been using it all along

Where did you reload it from? Do you still have the original CD and serial number? Maybe it isn't compatible with your new PC so we need a bit more info to see if it is compatible.

Help!!! DSL for my airport won't work

Here is my problem, I got an airport a while ago, and got it to work with my printer but getting it to work with the internet has been impossible because our old PC does not have wireless, and when I hook up a splitter to the Ethernet cable my airport blinks yellow, gets pouty an won't work. So...
Question 1: Do I need a separate DSL router(not sure if that is the right term, but its the little black box that you hook the DSL cable to and the ethernet cable to the computer) for each DSL out in my house.
Question 2: What has been a good router for you (apple forum super-hero's ) & that will be compatible with my airport and macbook.
Thanks in advance!
-Sam

Hello guess_sam. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since you have a requirement to support both wired and wireless devices on your network, it would be better to replace your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) with either an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or an equivalent model from another manufacturer, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys to name a few.

Apple TV set up with new TV and now Airyplay won't work

I bought an Apple TV about 2 months ago, July 2013. I had it set up using my wifi connection and TV at my house, and everything worked great. I could use Netflix, YouTube, and Airplay to play music from my iPhone 5. Now, I just moved in to my new apartment at school and all of a sudden, Airplay and Homesharing don't seem to be working.
I have a mid-2010 MacBook, but that's never been able to use Airplay because it's outdated. However, with my iPhone5, the airplay icon suddenly doesn't appear anymore. Like i said, everything else on the ATV works fine (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) so I don't think it's my internet connection. I've tried connected it to 2 different TVs in the apartment and neither of them are working with my iPhone. When I go to use the "Remote" app on my phone, it says I need to turn on Homesharing. I have Homesharing turned on for all 3 of my devices (Macbook, iphone, ATV) and I've tried turning them all off, and reconnected. None of that helped.
I tried calling Apple to get help with the problem, but because of the holiday I can't call until tomorrow.
Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

likely the wifi router block the ports required
non of this is Internet related but LAN related

New internet provider, now mail won't work

I recently moved to a new city and have switched from Sympatico as my internet provider, to Eastlink. Since the switch I cannot send mail from the Mail program.
Neither one of my email accounts is a sympatico based account (one is gmail, one is a work address with a smaller provider), but I'm wondering if the switch could be the issue since I've never had problems before. I have run a connection doctor and the only account the comes up with a problem is the W3 Connex service provider, both the gmail outgoing and incoming mail server claimed to be working fine (but still I cannot send msg with this address).
Do I need to set up my SMPT server to correspond with my new service provider or with the email providers? This is really frustrating as I cannot send anything with my work address and have to log on to Gmail's web page to send anything with that address...
What the **** is going on?

For every new internet provider, if you want unauthenticated e-mail sending you usually must use the internet provider's own SMTP server. Most internet service providers these days don't allow third party SMTP servers without some form of authentical and/or special port addressing. If you have a particular sendmail server you want to use regardless of your location, check with the owner of that server whether they use port 587 or 2626 and use e-mail address and your e-mail password to do password authentication into that server. That will allow you to use it anywhere. The primary reason they do this is to avoid being blamed for spam.

Installed Itunes 7.0.2, now Ipod won't work

I updated my Itunes software, like I was instructed to do so when I went into Itunes, and now my Ipod (U2 special Edition with click wheel) will not work at all. Itunes says that the Ipod appears to be corrupted, and I have to restore it to factory settings, but after I restore it, it still doesn't work, and Itunes again says my Ipod appears to be corrupted and must be restored to factory settings. I've already restored it twice, and tried all the other basic troubleshooting tip. Please let me know what I should do.

Try this.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time, or it gets stuck in the "restore" loop.

Uninstalled new version, horrible. Installed the older version and now it won't open! HELP WANT MY MUSIC!

I installed the new version thinking it would be the same, It was horrible! uninstalled it... Installed the older version and now it won't open and when I try it says it can't because the library can't open because it was used on a newer version. Come on! I just want my music! How do I open this and get my music back.
I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!

I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

You did a d/l of the iTunes .dmg - did you install by opening the .dmg and following the dialogs?

I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook.

Our computer crashed and we had to go back to factory settings to get it back on. I had to re-install Adobe Digital Editions to borrow books from my library. I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook. I keep getting "not authorized to copy".

You need to add a valid payment method to the account. An iTunes gift card can be added.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.
