Internet access only available for a few seconds before dying

I've just purchased a new iMac and I'm having problems connecting to the internet. I have a DSL modem router which is configured up and working correctly. I can plug my old PC into it and it works fine, however when I plug it in to my new iMac I have to reset it and then I get about 20 seconds access before it dies. The IP address is still assigned and everything but all traffic seems to stop. If I reset the router again, I'll get another 20 seconds access once it finishes booting. I don't think it's a router issue as I can plug a windows laptop in also and it works fine.

Those settings would appear to be correct, so the computer is getting the IP number from the router.
I tried a ping test against www.apple.com after resetting the router, and it was an unknown host . . . Yes, it gave me nothing either: 100% packet loss; but another www address was OK.
If you enter that router IP number in a browser, do you get a configuration page for the router itself? Does the router need a WEP or WAP password?
Have you also tried, (A) setting up a new Location rather than use the default, "Automatic" or (B) creating a new user account and setting up from there?
What router do you have, by the way?

Video only plays for a few seconds, then freezes

The video, which I got from the apple website, plays fine in iTunes but once I upload it to the iPod it will only play for a few seconds before freezing and becoming nonresponsive. Is this a software problem? Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.

Or you can follow these instructions.... (adopted from btabz)
Here are more detailed instructions on how to go back to 1.0, espescially if you bought your iPod in the last couple of months and it came with 1.1.
First, please download the older version of the iPod Updater here...

Now install that updater and restart your computer.
Now open the iPod updater (Start-->all programs-->iPod and find the iPod updater you just installed
Open the iPod Updater and connect your iPod. With that older version of the iPod updater you just installed, restore your iPod by clicking restore.
The iPod will restore and go back to software version 1.0. Now reload everything back into iTunes.

TS3474 newly downloaded songs only play for a few seconds

My newly downloaded songs will only play for a few seconds. How do I fix this so I hear the full song?

Remove the track from your iTunes library and PC and redownload it again via iCloud.

Just submitted a podcast to i-tunes, when users are dowloaded it, images are only appering for a few seconds not the entire length of the relvant chapter.

Built in garage band with artwork and chapters - saved as an podcast and set live to i-tunes (and checked in quicktime) but once downloaded images only appear for a few seconds.

I subscribed to your podcast and downloaded episode 20 (in iTunes): it plays perfectly normally and the images appear as you would expect. I also dragged it out to the Desktop and opened it in the Quicktime Player and again everything was normal.
The problem you do have is that you have not entered a duration for this and a few other episodes, so that the default 1 second is there. As a result when you play the episode in the Store page (as opposed to subscribing) it only plays the first second.
As to the problem you describe, I can't explain it - there's nothing wrong with the file, so it must be a local issue with your iTunes.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something, if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed? Please reply.

Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
I hope I am clear.
Kindly help

I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

Some songs only play for a few seconds.

I am having trouble with some mp3 songs that I have imported to my iTunes library. The songs play fine with other media players, but on iTunes a few songs only play the first few seconds. It only happens with a few songs. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
See the start time and end time for the song. It is in "get info"->options
In other words check the properties of the songs to see if it is set to play only for a certain duration. When it plays you can always slide the scrub pad to play the other non-playing sections (section outside of the play-duration set int he options).
