New laptop wont connect

"You are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found."

Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop wont connect to router anymore

Eveything was great untl I had to change the encryption code on the router, now I cant get the laptop to connect to the router anymore. Nothing was changed on the computer and the only thing that was changed on the router was the encryption code. The Dell laptop has a 1370 mini wireless card in it running windows XP, and I updated it last night to the latest driver. My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop has no problem connecting to it. The wireless router is a WRT54GS. I have also started wireless zero configuration and checked the box to let windows control my wireless. And the box in properties that says "Enable IEEE 802.1authentication for this network" is not checked.
Sometimes when I try to connect it, it will say connected when it isnt connected to anything. Other times when I try to connect it will connect to another wireless internet in the neighborhood that doesnt have any encryption. And then other times I get the message that says "windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network". I got it to connect when I took the the encryption off the router but for some reason it doesnt want to connect with encryption on it. I am using WEP 64bit. I checked all the settings on both the laptops and the wireless settings are exactly the same. I dont understand why mine will connect and the other one wont. Any ideas?

You can try manually adding the network on your computer, Also change the SSID on the router if it is linksys(default).
To add the network manually try the below mentioned settings.......
Click on Start and go to the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection disable it and then Re-enable it .
Right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties,Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...
Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/security key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...
It will connect...
That should resolve the issue for you.

New laptop wont play any of itunes.

i have a new laptop. i did the step-by-step advice on apple help website to move my itunes library to my new laptop. at first it was only importing 300 of my 2000 songs. now it has imported all the names into itunes. but when i click on it to play or make a cd, it says that the file cant be found. then once i click to find it, it really is no where to be found. i have dont everything i know to do. does anyone possibly know how to fix this

Content does not magically appear just by signing into an iTunes account. Upon closer inspection I'm certain that you will see a cloud icon to the right of the content. That indicates the content is available for re-download from iTunes.
Save yourself some time and hassle, copy the content from the original computer.

Changed itunes library to new laptop - wont open!

Having recently moved home and purchasing a new laptop i have downloaded itunes to my new laptop and copied my library from my old laptop to my external hard drive.

New laptop wont read TC

Hi, I've been using my TC for itunes storage....and yes it's backed up I recently purchased a new macbook pro and am trying to have it's itunes read the TC so I can reroute it's library selection to the TC. However, everytime I click on TC on the laptop, it tells me it's not connected and that it is password protected. It's not! How on earth to I get it to read the TC?

When you write "everytime I click on TC on the laptop", do you mean the TC entry in the sidebar of a Finder window?
Could the Time Capsule disk have been password protected for so long that you don't remember that? Try using AirPort Utility to investigate the TC configuration. You also might use the Keychain Access utility on your old Mac to look for a password for that disk.

New laptop wont accpet music off ipod

I recently bought a laptop, as i have moved away from home and need my own personal computer. I downloaded itunes tonight but it wwon't allow me to take all of the songs on my ipod, some three thousand, and put them on my laptop, because the ipod is synced with another computer, and to sync it with this one would cause it to delet all the songs off my ipod, which i do not want.
How do I get around this?
basically, I'm looking to sync my laptop and ipod together, with all my songs, including albums that were ripped onto my itunes on my computer at home, songs downloaded, and some bought off itunes.
is this possible or is it an annoying protocol set up to stop music being shared among computers?
please help asap!1
thank you

*is this possible or is it an annoying protocol set up to stop music being shared among computers?*
Yes it's possible and yes it's to discourage large scale file sharing.
1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

New ipod wont connect, new ipod wont connect

my old ipod broke, and i bought a new one today, but when i plug it into itunes, it wont show up as a device. i downloaded the new itunes twice, but nothing. please help!!!!!

Is the device on? It needs to be on in order for iTunes to recognize it. If it is on and you're getting this screen:
http://bit.ly/mSb93T
Then you need to connect it at that point. You can turn it on by holding the Sleep/Wake button.
If you bought it within the past few days, you probably have iOS 5 in which case you can just turn it on by holding the Sleep/Wake button and setting it up on the device itself, then iTunes can probably recognize it after that.

New iPad wont connect to Wi-fi automatically

Hi everytime i turn the new iPad on i need to manully enter the Wi-Fi password. This doesn't seem right thanks

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Help my laptop wont connect to wifi

Hi everyone
I wondered if anyone could assist me.

Does anyone know why this suddenly happens?
Thanks x
Solved!

Can your PC see your wifi signal
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

HT201413 My new iphone wont connect to the internet also I have reset my passwords 10 times or more because a pop up always pops up and says wrong password very frustrated

cant connect to internet and passwords are always wrong?

When you're in Arch, use output redirection
lspci >lspci.out
then boot into Ubuntu or something where you can access the files and the BBS, Of course, don't forget to use a new file for each command output.
The new network config in rc.conf is not that complicated (wired anyway; never used wireless). OTOH I've had issues on two machines where I have to restart the network daemon (rc.d restart network) or rerun netcfg (netcfg eth0) after boot to get connectivity. And I still haven't come to grips with the ip command.

Laptop wont connect

when i connect just the dsl cable into the internet spot on the back of the router, with no other computers connected to the router my laptop should get an internet signal and be able to log onto the web, right? the only wa i can isto hard wire it straight into the laptop...i really am twisted

make sure what type of internet connection your using from your ISP. it could be DSL and Cable connection.there is a different type of configuration on the router depending on the type of internet connection.

Problems galore..DS lite, and laptop wont connect

Ok, today i tried to connect my DS lite and it told me it couldnt find the IP and then i tried to connect my laptop and my laptop gave me limited access (no internet)
By the way, i have my Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and my dad's computer all connected wirelessly and the main computer is hard wired to the router. I used a WEP code which when i entered i knew was correct was because i wrote it down. Anyway, if you have any ideas what may be preventing these items from connecting please let me know.
WRT54G Ver 6 is what i have.
If need be, im going to reset my router back to square one

Hi… I would suggest you to provide static IP on DS lite and try the connection again. You may need to forward the port for the same IP address. Try the same with the laptop. If it does not work then check the WEP key once again from the setup page of this router. I think that’s what may be blocking the connection.
