Problem connecting to new laptop

I recently purchased a new laptop with windows 8 on, now i find i cant sync my ipod up with the new laptop everytime i do it comes up withcannot sync unknown error (-50).   ive tried putting it back on my old laptop because other sites have told me to uninstall itunes and then reinstall, but still having no luck , could it be my ipod its broken, yet it still play with music that is still on it. 

Maybe:

  • WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium

    WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium. It continuously runs through a cycle of detecting, connecting, losing connection; detecting, connecting, losing connection, etc. A the router runs through this cycle, basically acting as if I have disconnected then reconnected to power to reset it, it disrupts my Internet connection to both my wired iMac and other, wireless desktop upstairs. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access he set up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After he finished, the problem still existed. When I told him the problem hadn't been fixed,  he told me just wait for an hour or so and it should work itself out. It, of course, did not work itself out. Any ideas out there?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Never mind-I seem to have fixed the problem with a simple firmware upgrade. Funny how the Linksys support technician didn't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try upgrading the firmware first. He was, however, quite good at trying to upsell me to a new router instead of trying to help me fix the problem I was having. Makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thank you very much!

  • I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

    I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • C55D-B5310 At least 3 problems with brand new laptop, now fed up.

    I bought the wife a new C55D-B5310 from Best Buy on the 5th of January, and am now ready to take it back (even though I'm outside the 14/15 day return policy.   I bought it for my wife but had nothing but problems with it.
    First, there was the green videos, totally green and just sound.  No amount of windows updates solved that, I had to download a third party codec pack in order to get it to work.  I had noticed this on the display model as well, and ignored it at the time (silly me).
    Second there was the constantly dropping wi-fi connection.   A search on here and an updated driver + disabling the power save feature for the adaptor has seemingly resolved that.  (but frankly why should I have to disable a power saving feature just to get it to not be 'limited connectivity').
    Then last night I noticed the touch pad was playing up and was stopping responding, disappearing, or simply not being responsive.   At this point after three problems, I'm fed up with this.  A user should not have to get things working that should be working from the factory.   The laptop also seems to freeze at times or be unresponsive in general.
    I'm an experienced I.T. professional, but this was for my wife, and she is also now fed up with it, and now just uses her phone instead, as it's such a pain to use.  Seriously... where was the product testing on this model.  These are such basic things to get right.
    On a side note, I just also bought another (alternative brand) laptop for myself.  It works beautifully.  No connection issues, the touch pad just works, the machine doesn't freeze whilst it's thinking about stuff.  The Toshiba should work model should work just like this.
    I'm now worried I'll be stuck with this pain in the butt laptop, even though it's not fit for purpose.

    I actually bought an HP laptop for $150 from a sample store (i3, 6GB, 750GB HDD, touchscreen)  It works flawlessly unlike the totally non-QA'd Toshiba.  My wife loves the new machine, and without me prompting her, she simply said that it just works, and does everything she wants.  (Obviously this machine is in at least $200+ extra dollar price bracket compared to the $300 dollar Toshiba however, so don't read into this too much).
    I have heard a lot of the UK guys saying that Toshiba's quality has dropped through the floor, with the same sort of problems as I mentioned (plus others).
    Sorry Tosh, but you really need to get your act together with your budget range.  There is absolutely no reason why this machine should have performed so badly, and had at least 3 faults right out of the box.
    I was seriously considering keeping the C55D for myself to use, but after spending a short time with it, it was clearly trash.

  • Problems connecting my new macbook to our wireless network

    Hello!
    I recently received my new macbook and have tried connecting it to our WEP encrypted network that has been set up on a PC and runs from a Netgear DG834 router.
    I have tried setting up a new network on my macbook, inputting the WEP (hex)key. I have also tried to put a $ before the key, but can't.
    We have added the macbooks mac address to our network.
    Is there anything else I can try? Has anyone had a similar probelm and found the answer?I am desperate!
    Thanks
    eva
    macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    If you can, try disabling WEP and then trying to connect. This will tell you whether your problems are because of WEP or something more fundamental. The new C2D macbooks seem to have a problem whereby they won't connect to some third party access points.
    If you've got an older mac around, try to connect with that - this should also help determine where the problem lies.
    If you can, it might also be worth checking if the router is updated to the latest firmware.

  • Problems connecting in new place

    I recently moved to a new place with a new wireless network. My Airport was working great at my old place so I'm thinking I'm just having connection problems. First my computer couldn't "see" the airport so I plugged it into my computer with an ethernet to set it up. My wireless uses a WEP but only has a 10 digit passcode. I tried to select WEP but it said I needed a minimum of a 13 digit passcode. I tried a few other things and a couple times actually got a green light on the airport and the utility to say it was communicating fine. But then when I would unplug the ethernet it would all be gone. Also, very frustrating that it kept changing my network info in my computer to join the wireless network so I kept losing my internet connection and would have to deal with that. UGH!!! What am I doing wrong?!? Any help or walk-throughs would definitely be appreciated as I am getting VERY frustrated!!!

    Hello MichelleVee. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I recently moved to a new place with a new wireless network.
    Based on one of your comments, I assume that you just want to use the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to join this wireless network for iTunes streaming ... correct?
    My wireless uses a WEP but only has a 10 digit passcode. I tried to select WEP but it said I needed a minimum of a 13 digit passcode.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore an ASCII password on an AX will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
    Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if it will help: AirPort, Time Capsule: Joining an encrypted wireless network

  • Problem connecting to new Mac Pro with USB

    I have a new late 2013 Mac Pro 6 core with 64GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. I use a Thunderbay IV Thunderbolt drive bay and a Newertech Voyager for external storage and backup. The Thunderbay works perfectly. When I place a 4TB drive with a couple of TB of data (photos) into the Voyager, it appears as an empty 1.8TB drive. If I take the exact same drive and place it into the Thunderbay via Thunderbolt, it sees it as 4TB, sees the data, and seems to have no problem. If I ask disk utility to verify the disk in the Voyager, I get this message "Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found." This happens regardless of which of the 4 USB ports I connect it to. Basically the drive will boot just fine in the Thunderbay, (Thunderbolt) but not in the Voyager (USB). I initially thought the Voyager was at fault, but this has happened with both a brand new S3 USB3 unit as well as my older Voyager Q USB 2 unit. I can connect a USB 3 card reader with no apparent problems as well as my iPhone, iPad, and two Epson printers. I am thinking that there is some problem with the USB connections in the Mac Pro but would appreciate any thoughts.

    You got me curious so I dug further. We weren't alone in that problem. See this Apple discussion. And this review mentioned the 2TB limit as did this one. We both were the victims of progress. I remember when a 40MB HD upgrade was a big and expensive deal for an SE-30.

  • Multiple Problems Involving my new laptop [Keyboard][wireless mouse][application issues]

    My laptop only gives me the following information on the stickers:
    Lenovo G580
    Model NO: 20157
    I received a laptop from my dad and the more I use it the more stuff i seem to run into.
    The first problem i noticed was that two of my arrow keys would not work on my keyboard and I need those keys to play a couple of low-end games that i like.
    Next i noticed that my wireless mouse would act weird when I attempted to use it. It would constantly double-click when i only clicked once and i have replaced the batteries multiple times. It only happens on this computer.
    Another problem is that i have the desktop version of skype installed. Sometimes it crashes and refuses to close. I've tried task manager and the command line. When I use "taskkill /F /IM skype.exe" it tells me i do not have permission even when i launched command line as administrator.
    After using Windows 8 for a few months,i really hate it. I absolutely cannot stand the new operating system. I gave it a try and if i have to live with it for much longer I will go insane.
    I have tried to install Ubuntu but the disk refuses to load. Im sure it has something to do with secure boot, but the option to disable it is greyed out and im unable to change it.
    Anyone who can help me with any of these issues would be awesome.

  • Problems Connecting 2 New Macs to a Windows Workgroup

    We have a Windows workgroup in our orphanage that has been working fine. The Windows XP computers use the IPs of 192.168.0.1 (the gateway computer that connects to the Internet), 192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.20, 192.168.0.80, 192.168.0.90 and 192.168.0.100
    I have (attempted to) assign the IP addresses of 192.168.0.30 and 192.168.0.40 to the two new Macs I am wishing to add to our system. Eventually I want to go all Mac.
    I am using the DNS of 202.102.224.68 and 202.102.227.68 on the workgroup.
    All of the windows boxes except one are standard network with LAN cables. One is wireless. There are three wireless access points in the system and I am attempting to set up both Macs using Airport.
    Prior to hooking up the two new Macs I have two Sony Viao Laptops that are able to connect to the network via any of the three wireless access points. All the computers and the laptops can connect to the Internet via the gateway computer at 192.168.0.1. File sharing works fine. Printer sharing works fine with any of the three printers we have in our workgroup. Remote access works fine also.
    Now that I have included the two new Macs they can see each other but not the other computers in the workgroup. The PCs cannot see each other now... and.... the two Macs can connect to the internet via the Win XP gateway at 192.168.0.1 even though it does not show up in Finder.
    I am terribly confused and I have tried to read every post in this thread but none seem to help.
    I downloaded and installed "Workgroup Manager" but the first thing that happens when I attempt to run it is it asks me for "Address", "User Name" and "Password" in the connect window titled "Workgroup Manager Connect"
    Of course I know my user name and password but I have no idea what it is looking for in the "Address" box.
    I would sure like some help if anyone has the time.
    What I want to achieve is simply add the two new Macs to the workgroup so all computers can have file sharing, remote access, Internet access and printer sharing.
    Thank you in advance!

  • 5si/mx LaserJet problems connecting to new computer

    I have a LaserJet 5si/mx with a JetDirect 10Base-T card connected through a router. I am trying to connect it to a new iMac, but the computer won't see it. My internet connection is through the same router and it works. Any thoughts?
    Thanks for your help.

    Of course there is a USB connector for the ipod mini! http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=7E4 EB91E&nplm=MA591G/A . That will take you to the apple website where you can purchase the cord. I don't know why it dosent list the ipod mini under the compatible list maybe because its a bti older but thats the same cord i got with my ipod touch and it works with my mini aswell.

  • Re: Problems in my new laptop A200-27Z

    Hi,
    I bought this laptop on 4th July. The laptop is running on Vista basic Operating system. There are few problems for which I am in need of solutions:
    1. When I run Skype to talk to my family, I face lot of problems hearing them and viewing them and I even hear that there is a problem for the reciever saying that they hear an echo or repitation in my voice and they too can't view me.
    2. The cursor runs here and there when I start typing and it is really irritating to delete and retype agian and agian...
    3. When I open 2 programs, even the internet goes slow and and other parallel programs won't open.. The laptop is equipped with 3GB RAM but the performance is very bad when the speed is concerned..
    4. Is there an infinite movement of the knob which is provided for volume control.. pls. confirm.
    5. Sometimes the camera gets stuck.. Don't know whether it is a software problem or hardware problem.
    6. When I turn to burn a CD, it asks me to switch on power source.. Won't the laptop burn the CD without power source?
    7. I hear Kat kat noise when the CD burn in process. Also it takes lot of time compared to other laptops for burning a CD..
    Overall I am not happy with this laptop.
    Looking forward for solutions... Pls. help
    Regards
    Kiran

    Quite a long list you have here, pal ;)
    Ok, let's see.
    1. This can normally be fixed be installing the Vista service pack 1, as this solves problems with web cam.
    2. Not a real problem here, but when typing you may hit accidentally the touch pad, which puts the cursor all over the screen. Just turn it off when writing using FN+F9 key combination.
    3. Speed depends on wether it runs on battery or AC. And , back to number 1, SP1 improves performance.
    4. Don't know what you mean by that, but there is no "end" where the hardware volume control stopps. This is normal.
    5. Install SP1 ;)
    6. You should be able to create CDs even running on battery, as I do that too, but it is just a hint, that when battery level is low or critical might cause errors with CD
    7. Ok, those noises don't know. I have some noises too, but these are normal and burning speed always depends on how much data is put on disc, speed settings of program and what media you use, CD, DVD or double layer DVD.
    So I think this should cover must of your questions.

  • I have a problem with Downloads, firefox does not recongise the .doc format despite me having word 2007 loaded only a problem since a new laptop, and windows 7 professional, any ideas?

    When Trying to download a word file I get this error message: " *.doc could not be opened, becasue the associated helper application does not exist change the association in your prefernces. " Have checked preferences, and IE opens up the file pointing to something wrong with firefox.

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

    welcome to the discussion area, MacTags !
    congrats on making the move to the bright side of computing
    your airport utility (AU) does not see your airport express (AX) yet because by default your airport express (AX) has created a separate network when you plug it in. i suggest you do this:
    unplug it first. re-plug it and click on the airport icon in your menu bar. you should see something like Apple network bj1234567 or similar (it may take a little while for it to show up). in order to set up the AX you will have to temporarily join its network ! you will get a message asking +do you really want to switch networks ?+ and you do want to do that.
    now you should see the AX in AU. click on the icon of the AX once to highlight it and click continue. follow onscreen instruction and, when prompted, choose to join an existing network and enter the required information for your network.
    any help ?
