Networking and new Homehub / Ipods etc / VPN

I have upgraded to Infinity and the new home hub and now can not get my computers to see one another on network or on the homegroup. They are all on the smae workgroup. Looking at the router itself I can see them all connected.
My children tell me that they have problems connecting some of their portable devices to the internet
MY work computer connects the VPN but then I can not see the network drives and Outlook keeps dropping its connection to the exchange
The issues have only come up post Infinity so I think there if a setting in the router that is conflicting
Help please

Hello,
Ok - it looks like you have (at least) 3 problems:
1: Windows workgroup not working:

2: VPN not working properly. Have you opted out of Web address help?
There is an opt-out link on this page.

3: iPod's etc not connecting. Well that is a very tricky one because you haven't specified very much information. If it were me, then there are two things worth looking at: Wireless congestion - download and install inssider

Choose a channel that is not being used by your neighbours.
Failing that, it would be worth trying to change the HH3 Wireless from an 802.11n/g/b to 802.11g/b only.
Hope this helps,

80GB older IPOD and new 160GB IPOD multiple iTunes - how to consolidate

I purchased an 80GB a year ago and created playlists etc. Now I purchased a new 160GB and created a new iTunes file but I would like to consolidate the music files into one location. Maybe syncing two different IPOD's from the same iTunes. If I sync the old IPOD, to the new file, it will erase all existing files and playlists. I would also like to save on the disk space. How can I accomplish this without spending all day?

Never giving up and never letting the lack of a manual defeat me.... with a little luck and persistent trial and error I finally figured it out. And no, it wasn't memory, because honestly I can't recall from years ago how I had put that transmitter in pairing mode.
And for those of you who cherish outdated technology or may come across one.... The blue LED window on the side of the transmitter is also a pushbutton. With the iPod paused, press and hold the LED button immediately after power up, and the transmitter goes into pairing mode.
Now time to go enjoy my music with my new bluetooth headset
cheers,

Size of 120gb and new 160gb ipods

What are the dimensions of the newly released 160gb ipod classic? Is it the same thickness compared to the 120gb ipod?
I'm thinking of returning the 120gb ipod I just bought for the 160gb one, but I'm not sure if the case I bought (that fits the 120gb ipod) will fit the 160gb one.

Hello Jon,
According the "Tech Specs" from the Page below, here are the exact dimensions of the new 160 GB iPod Models.
Height:
4.1 inches (103.5 mm)
Width:
2.4 inches (61.8 mm)
Depth:
0.41 inch (10.5 mm)
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopipod/family/ipodclassic?mco=Nzk2MDUyMw
Here are the specs for the 120 GB model: 4.1 (Height x 2.4 (Width) x 0.41 (Depth) inches.
So, yes they are the exact same and then new model should fit without any problems.
Hope this helps.

Adapter and new video iPod

Hi, I just bought my first Ipod (30 GB video) and the $30 power adapter, but the USB cable that came with the iPod does not physically fit in the adapter - do I need to buy ANOTHER accessory to connect these two?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure you bought a USB power adapter and not a firewire adapter? Is the port on the adapter rectangular?

Difference between new network and extended network

Difference between extended network and new network settings

An "extended" network acts as one large wireless network. Wireless devices can roam anywhere a signal is present and stay on the network without having to make any changes.
A "new" network will require that a wireless device manually "switch" to that network and enter the password for the network to connect whenever you want to use that network. In other words, a "new" network will use a different wireless network name and password, which will require that you manually log on to that network.
The exception would be if you created a "new" wireless network and used the same wireless network name, same wireless security settings and same password as the "main" network and connected the AirPort back to the main router using an Ethernet cable. In that case, you would have an "Ethernet extended wireless" network.

Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

The network on my airport express works, have wifi on the ipods,etc. But when I open airport utility on my mac and on the iphone nothing exists. Why?

Reboot the modem. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost. The laptop getting through to the internet is not relevent.

I am new to IPod touch and really enjoying it. BUT. All of a sudden I am unable to connect to my home wireless network nor any hot spots. Did not have any trouble in 1st month and yet something seems to have changed. Any suggestions as to what ?

I am new to IPod Touch and enjoying but all of a sudden (after about a month of connection) I am unable to connect to either my home wirless or hotspots outside of home. It would appear that a setting has changed but have no idea how to determine. Any suggestions ?

NO I did not and thank you very much for the advice. My problem was stated incorrectly in that while I am able to connect to the wireless from that point on I am unable to connect to the internet. I will check the article referred to.

I'm new to ipod touch, 4g and my question is how can i download a contact list other than through facebook etc.

I'm new to ipod touch, 4g. My questions is how can I download a contact list other than through facebook or yahoo or gmail?

You can sync the iPod's Contacts app with some other contact programs/mail accounts.
Just where do you want to get/sync the contacts?

WiFi Networks and an iPod Touch.

I have seen many comments about WiFi networks and the seemingly impossibility of the iPod to connect to some.
However, I have not come across a solution to my issue - there may have been one but I confess I've not been successful at finding it!
I have set up a home network. At first I used an Airport Extreme but then it died so I set things up with a NetGear DG834GT. The home network uses a WPA2 password.
At home no problem - my MacBook Pro (Core2Duo), my son's iMac i7, my 2nd Gen iPod Touch (4.2.1) and my iPad 2 all connect great to the WiFi network. I can surf the web etc etc. I'm a happy bunny.
When I'm out and about I often use my iPod Touch to get access to the web and my e-mails etc using WiFi. Most networks are secured meaning you have to type in a password. Hotels are like this and usually there is no problem once the front desk gives me the password. The unsecured ones are often WiFi Zone Hotspots where you have to pay to continue. I don't usually bother with these.
Some sites though offer unsecured, free access and free internet use - coffee shops in particular. A coffee shop near me has such a network and I have absolutely no problem connecting. However, I have come across a few networks which show up in the "Available Networks" list complete with name etc. And yet when you select this network and try to join I get the message "Unable to join such and such Network. Obvioulsy with no network connection there is no internet etc.
Usually I simply ignore this problem and wait until the next WiFi network is available (when I get home?). Not quite so reliable if home is 3000 miles away!
But does anyone know why there are some networks that I cannot join? Is there a solution for this that I can carry out? I've tried the usual things like resetting the iPod, forgetting the network etc. Obviously I do not have access to the router as this is owned and operated by the company/enterprise concerned.
Not a show stopper by any means but an irritation nevertheless. Incidentally, there were also a few networks recently on my travels where both the Touch and the iPad behaved the same. i.e. I couldn't join some networks with either device.
Thoughts?

Interesting hypothesis B-rock. I could try contacting the network administrator but my guess is that I'll be met with a blank look when I ask for that! Still can't be bad to try!
Another piece of "anecdotal" evidence for you. At the local garden centre (which is part of a chain) I used to be able to connect - no problem. Then suddenly all connections failed - at all locations. I am leaning towards believing that they have changed routers to more "modern" ones and for some reason these new routers won't allow connection to an iPod/iPad etc. As yet I cannot confirm this or otherwise and unless someone comes up with a bright idea I'm left with the feeling that unless the network administrator recognises that he/she needs to create a network that works with iPads/iPhones etc we're doomed. I noticed that the next table over using a PC had no problems! Grrrr.

My ipod touch (4th) suddenly wont connect to my wifi. Other gadgets are connected though. I tried resetting the network and turning the wifi (and ipod) on and off but it still wont work. Any suggestions on what to do?

My ipod touch (4th) suddenly wont connect to my wifi. It connected fine before and all of my other electronics (tablets, computers, laptops, gaming systems, etc.) are connected and working completely fine. I tried turning the wifi setting on my ipod on/off as well as the actual ipod itself. I also tried resetting the network settings but neither of these options worked. Any suggestions on what I should do?

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router

I have had my ipod 4th generation for a year now and had not had any problems until now. My ipod no longer connects to my WiFi. i have reset my network settings, forgot my network and followed all of Apple's advice. Any ideas?

The WiFi isn't working on my 4th generation anymore. I have several devices connected to the WiFi which two of them are iPhone 5 that haven't had ant problems with WiFi. I have had my iPod for a year. I have tried everything and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re-installing (and re-registering) iPod Video on New Computer

I am currently using my IBM thinkpad and I recently purchased an iPod. I want to install (and have been prompted to register) the software to start using it. However, I am going to purchase an iMac next week. Can I register and use my iPod on the IBM machine and then re-register/re-install software (or use the preinstalled software) on my new iMac when i purchase it?
Sorry if the ? is confusing. Bottom line, can you register your iPod and use it one machine and then change it to another machine? Does it require re-registration?
Thanks.

If you are talking about the online product registration, no I don't think so, you need only to register once, that's all.
What is the more "challenging and difficult" part is that, as you know, the iPod only "recognises 1 master computer", so if you already have songs, playlists etc in your PC's iTunes and sync to the iPod; When you re-sync on your brand new mac with empty songs, your iPod will correspond to that sync, i.e. 0 songs.
If you can, copy the files, especially the iTunes data files, Library files etc and also all your songs from your PC to the new mac, then in this way, although the iPod is re-sync by a new computer, at least you have an identical playlists and songs, so your iPod will be (re)sync with the same data again.
Cheers

For the future, saying you tried everything provides use with zero info as to what you did try. If you really tried everything then there is no way we could help
