New Vista computer and WRT610N Router

Just changed the desktop computer on my home network to a Vista 64 bit system. In order to access the router's web based utility do I need to run the router setup process? If so, will this overwrite my existing router settings? Is there a file I need to copy from my old machine that will save my existing router settings so that I can update the settings after running the setup process?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Well, in that case, it appears as though your router has been modified at some time in the past (or at least the DHCP scope has.)
Try opening up a command prompt and typing in IPCONFIG on your PC. You should get something that looks like this.....
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : figga
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.29.154.112
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.29.154.1
If you have an IP address that starts with 168.X then you didn't get an IP address from the DHCP server on the Router. Anyway, if you did get an IP address, try to access the Router via the IP address shown as the Default Gateway (in my case that would be 172.29.154.1) If you still can't get in, try prefacing the ip address with HTTPS://172.29.154.1 on the off chance that you selected the option to only allow secure connections. If this doesn't work, you may have to hit the reset button on the back of the gateway and start all over.
Good Luck

I suspect that you are saying that you can't download/install the latest version of iTunes.
All I can say is try removing and reinstalling the Apple software using the following:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
If you have further problems with installing Itunes I suggest you post in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem. Also report the wording of any error messages. What they say is importent on resolving them.

I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

I just purchase a brand new mac computer and I need to purchase new adobe CS software for work. Do you know if Adobe CS5 Design Premium-Mac is compatible with new mac computers with the updated Yosemite software? *No previous adobe CS software versions are on this computer

There are known technical issues with any older version on Yosemite, even CS6. Some can be worked out, others may not be relevant to you, some will remain unsolved.

New ASUS computer and can't download itunes

I bought a new ASUS computer and can't download itunes. I keep getting an error 2 message and to uninstall itunes and reinstall it. I've done this three times and it doesn't correct the problem. Also, says I need apple support to run it. Don't know what to do since my family has four iphones we'd like to sync.

Thanks for you attn on this topic.
Disabling McAfee didn't help, but I found something that did. There's a web site that has all the older versions of the iTunes software. I tried the one at the top of the list and all went as it should. We're up and running now,
albeit with slightly outdated software.
Thanks,

Along with the things you have tried, some have had success setting the location to the US.

Firefox is about 80 percent downloaded onto my new iMac computer and will not finish.

I have a new iMac computer and tried to download Firefox. It downloaded about 80 percent and stopped. what should i do?

Are you updating or downloading the full version?
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

You can only really sync with one iTunes library/computer. See:

Tungsten T5 and New Vista Computer

Okay--I believe I've tried everything--4.1 and 6.2--my computer recognizes something has been plugged in--but keeps calling it Palm One (in device manager and it has a yellow caution triangle with an exclamation point in it)--which it isn't it's a TungstenT5--I still cannot get a hotsync to happen and I can't understand half of what the heck everyone has written on this subject before...someone please, please tell me in clear language what my best bet would be to get things working. I have been working on computers since the mid-80s, many programs, many computers--both MACs and PCs-- but this has got me baffled.
Thanks in advance.

Post relates to: Tungsten T5

Okay--three days later--got a bluetooth dongle--fixed bluetooth connection problems on new HP Pavilion and performed a hotsync---hot sync successful--but nothing shows up on my computer--where did it go--how do I get it to show up in Desktop Access--or do I need my old desktop?

Now that I have a new vista computer my labtop wont connect to internet

I just got a new HP computer with Vista on it. At first I was able to get internet connection on my labtop, now I cannot and if I leave my WRT54 G Version 6 wireless router plugged in I cant access the internet on my computer as well. when it is plugged in it shows the reception on my labtop and even connects but the internet does not work I cannot view any pages. I put in the startup disk it came with but it wont install all the way and I tried to download firmware but it wont open in PDF as a BIN file. I think this is because of the vista. I have reseted the router and the modem but nothing works now. at first if I reseted them i would get internet access but now I cannot. I would gladly appreciate any advice on how to solve the problem.
Thank You

The .bin file is the firmware. When you access your router and go to flash the firmware to direct it to where ever that .bin file then flash it. I am guessing you have a cable modem? Try pluging into the modem with a cat5e cable and see if you can get online. If you can then plug the router back in then plug you pc in and rreconfigure your SSID/security/password and the rest of the settings you need. Then unplug you pc and try connecting with the wireless.
