Just got home with my new laptop from BB!!
And of course, I have a problem. When I powered up for the first time, the computer immediately recognized my home wireless connection and asked for password, which I provided. The laptop says the connection is EXCELLENT, and all green. But when I opened the IE browser, the pages won't load. I directly connected my ethernet cable from my modem to the laptop, and the pages load VERY quickly, but as soon as I disconnect the direct ethernet, and go to wireless, I can't get ANY pages to load.. I get the "circle of death" and then nothing happens.. Over 5 minutes later, the screen goes dark, but still, the pages are not loading.. what can I do?? Anyone have ANY suggestions for me??
Something else to notice, on the meter on the bottom that shows the signal strength are you getting a yellow !. Hover over it and see if it "Internet Access" or "No Internet Access". If you see "No Internet Access" then the problem is a configuration on your router because it's obviously connected to it.
This could be a slew of things like restricted MAC addresses, max # of network IP's assigned, all the way to ports not being open (not likely, but possible). From the sounds of it though check if restricted MAC addresses are on or any other settings under "Wireless Setup" or "Wireless Security" that could be causing the issue.

I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano 6th generation and I have after searching threads etc discovered I need to update my OS! How do I do this - all of the posts on this subject are a bit out of date I think? I have a mac book pro 2.2 so I know I can run Leopard, I just have no idea how to get it...? Please help!
Check your Mac against hardware specs to find out what version of OS X you can upgrade to.
Then buy DVD for that version.

Just got home with my new MACBOOK!!!
I am very excited to get my first Mac! (ds has a g4)
I said several prayers over my Macbook box that I did not just purchase a lemon. It is a week 36 so I hope it is o.k.
I am glad I waited until the new iPods came out too. I am eligible for the educator discount, which the new ipods are not eligible for the rebates, so had to get the old one...but the price went down to $249. So with the discount on top of that, after rebate the old 30g is only $40!! Also, this store didn't even have the new iPods, but they did have the new Nanos. They are pretty!
Also bought .mac and applecare.
Can't wait to get started with it!!
macbook 2.0gHz 80GB 1GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.7)Im growing weary of rumor sites, mostly because they also post some strange and completely nonsensical claims on occasion, such as word of the rebirth of the 12" pro notebook, which is preposterous. HOW they were able to even determine that this particular range of week builds were most susceptible to defects such as shutting down at random/bursting into flames/ cursing at your children, is beyond me. they might as well say that satan possesses that particular week of macbook, and that we should all just pour holy water on the keyboard to drive out the beast. or perhaps they should say that behavioral scientists are remotely controlling our laptops from space, triggering these sudden "random" shutdowns, and we, the guinea pigs, fall for this subterfuge. and as we scramble in frustration over our beloved computers suddenly going narcoleptic, men in white coats bearing apple and IBM insignias (GASP!) jot things down in clipboards and study our reactions. the purpose of this insidious plot has yet to be determined. but know this, its not over!

Just got home with my ipad and its asking for a passcode which i haven't set.....any ideas please???
just got home with my new ipad and its asking for a passcode to let me in - haven't set one up, wasn't told about this in store, any ideas please???? Have tried my apple password & my passcode i use with my i-phone but none works.
Was this a used iPad? Try going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will completely restore the iPad to brand new. It will erase all content, but since the iPad is brand new and you haven't made any changes to it, there is no content that will be erased. Except the passcode, of course

I just got migrated to a new laptop with Windows 7& iTunes won't run.
When I try to run iTunes I get an error message that my libray was created with a newer version of Itunes. I would like to remove and reinstall Itunes without losing my library.
Try just downloading and reinstalling iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, this Apple article will help you remove iTunes and the other Apple stuff -> Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 -
how do i transfer information (contacts, etc.) from old iphone 3 to new 4gs?
Assuming that you've been syncing your iPhone 3 to your computer/iTunes, plug it in one last time and let it backup. Then plug in your 4S, and when 'setting up phone' choose the latest backup.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense or something doesn't work! -
Just got hit with the New York Times Virus!
Hey guys,
While visiting the New York Times website I got a pop up saying I need to click to get antivirus for my computer, of course I said no but am I infected and should I reformat my drive. I won't post any links, just Google it yourself and you can see this is all over the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Of if anyone had encountered this.It's actually a 'rogue virus' that wants you to click OK to buy a solution for a nonexistent problem on your machine. Same thing happened to me on Saturday, and a few million N.Y. Times internet readers. So I called the Apple helpline and was told to reset Safari, being sure to click "clear history, empty the cache, and remove all cookies". And that was that. (To reset, click "Safari" on the top bar, click "reset", and click the three options I mentioned. No need to reformat anything or spend more than a couple of minutes on this phony 'warning'.

Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
Does the iOS devices see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network. -
I have an iPad 1 to which I synced my photo libraries from my laptop. Unfortunately that laptop got stolen. I now have an iPad 2 as well with a new laptop. How do I get my photo libraries from my iPad 1 to my iPad 2 and to my new laptop...?
I assume that you haven't got a backup copy of them (?). You can copy photos that were originally synced from a computer off the iPad via third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network - you can then sync them to your other iPad. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

I just got home from the Apple store where I was told I need a new battery. The new battery is in, The charger light is bright green the icon reads 28%, and has flashed not charging a few times. I thought the green light meant the battery was charged? In fact the percentage is decreaciingand now the light is a light green flicker. Is something else wrong?
The Apple store already told you what was wrong.

I just dled Itunes onto my new laptop, when I synced with my music folder, all of the songs were duplicate on song list, what do I do? What did I do wrong, and where do I find a manual to learn how to use ITunes???
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
Got back new laptop from service center...unanswered questions
So I just got my i7, 4g, T510 laptop back from service center...writing from my dell b/c they forgot to send the charger with it, it wasn't charged. They reinstalled the factory preload, but said I need to go to lenovo.com/support to download the latest drivers. How do I know which drivers I need? Shouldn't they be updated if I they just put the preloaded software on it. * when I shut down the T510 after I got it back, it said there were programs still running in background that cuased me to force a shutdown...does this have something to do with the drivers? Thanks for the help, I never had so much headache over a computer.
call up Lenovo service and tell them that the power adapter was not sent back.
Download Thinkvantage System Update for the T510, that should update the drivers that you need.
