Set up of WRK54G on new Vista OS laptop

I just bought a Toshiba 8811, which has Vista as the OS. My old Dell 5150 didn't come with wireless installed, so I later bought an adapter and a WKR54G router. I have the install disk and tried to load it on the Toshiba, but I get an error message saying 'The Setup Wizard does not support Windows 95/NT.' The old pc has Win XP. Am I getting this message because of the Vista OS? How do I get my new pc to connect to my router? Thanks in advance for your help!

Goto www.linksys.com/download and download latest drivers. Use those instead of using disk.

Setting up Airport express with new Vista Computer?

I just bought a new computer with microsoft Vista. I have a netgear wireless router using WPA protection. I want to hook up an airport express as a client in another room where my stereo is. I had this working on my old XP computer but don't remember how I set it up because none of the discussions in the manual look anything like what I had. Does anyone know how to set this up?

Got it!!!! thanks to David NYC and tesserax. For other peoples benefit, change steps 1-5 on the above document procedure for Airport Admin Utility to the following:
1. Perform factory reset (situational)
2. Attach Airport Express via Ethernet to router.
3. Invoke your router software and view connected devices.
4. Identify Airport Express device id. It will be something like (192.168.1.3). You can tell which id is the airport express by looking for its MACD id on the list and comparing to the id printed on the Airport Express unit.
5. Open Airport Admin Utility.
6. Click Other.....
7. Enter the device id from #4 and password (this will be "public" if you reset to factory in step 1.)
8. Change settings to wireless (steps 6-13 of existing procedure)
Thanks to all who helped.

New Vista PC - what are steps to install/move iTunes fm old XP system?

I expect delivery of a new PC tomorrow and am clueless as to what I need to do to set up iTunes on the new Vista PC and move my music over.
I have an iPhone and an iPod mini, am running iTunes 8.0.0.35 and I think my iPhone software is current. I do a flash drive with enough capacity to hold all my music files.
But I digress - what I'm looking for first is the big picture - do I start from scratch and install iTunes from CD as if for the first time? Anybody have an overall step by step process as to what I actually need to do?

Thank you Neil, is there anything I need to do with my iPhone or old PC before beginning this (like any settings I need to check)? I have simply copied the Music Library to the Flash Drive at this point. I have upgraded both iTunes and my iPhone to the most current software.
Since I have only one monitor, I will be doing this one step at a time.

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

I do the same thing as you do...
My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

In setting up ICloud on my new Iphone 4s, I lost most of my calendar events in my Outlook 7 calendar in my Vista PC. I used to have MobileMe but in the set-up process was told to turn that off, which I did but now most of my calendar events have disappeared after syncing with ICloud. How can I get my missing calendar events back? They are still on my 3Gs Iphone which I have not yet updated to IOS5.
Thanks for any help.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

"Limited Connectivity" w/ new Vista

I just purchased a new notebook w/ vista and I don't have internet connection! I have 2 other notebooks w/ xp and they're working just fine with my wireless network. Wireless or wired, I can't get internet connection with my new vista. This is what I have: WRT54GS v6 Firmware 1.52.5

- make sure wireless mac filter is disabled , if it is enabled make sure mac address of wireless adapter is in the list ( if permit only )
- try removing you network settings ( under manage wireless networks ) and all possible networks that might be causing conflict , then restart afterwards
- reconnect to wireless network: if it would not connect , try hitting diagnose and repair, vista would give you possible diagnoses and solution
- make sure no static ip address are set on tcp/ipv4 for wireless adapter - if there is , make sure if is in the same settings with router ( same ip add.- range, dns, etc.. )
hope this helps! GBU

Moving Itunes from XP computer to new Vista Laptop

I attempted to use the Windows Easy Transfer function to move all my files from my old computer running XP to my new Vista laptop. The process worked, but my itunes library states that "the song cannot be used because they cannot find the original file". Please help!

The following article can be used as a basis for doing the transfer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
The article describes using an iPod to do the transfer, but once you have your music all together, how you copy the iTunes folder from one computer to another doesn't matter. You can use an external drive or network connection.
One you have transferred the itunes folder you need to set the permissions so your account has full control.

New Vista Box....

Help please,
I got a new Vista box last week. Transferred over most of my docs etc. I also transferred over roughly 3000 songs (mostly my daughters.)
On the new machine I installed itunes andit automatically searched out and installed all 3000 songs now on the hard drive. Problem is 200 were my songs, the rest are my daughrters.
How can I set up itunes so I only download/installl MY songs and she can download/install her own....
Any help would be appreciated....
Also I have an iPhone, how do I get my apps back?

Anyone?

Installed iTunes on new Vista 'puter now won't reconize iPod Touch

I installed iTunes on my new Vista 'puter and it wont reconize my iPod Touch, it does reconize my 3rd, 5th and clasic iPods but not the touch. it is reconized by windows but not iTunes

After searching the internet for hours, due to having the same problem I finally found a solution
1) plug in the ipod and go to START then RUN and type in devmgmt.msc
2) the device manager should come up, then go to imaging devices(Has that sort of name i dont remember its exact name) and hit the plus and it should say Apple Ipod.
3) Right click and select Update drivers.
4)Select "Update from a specific location" and then hit browse
5) then select C\program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
6) hit ok and it should have worked.
thank to Abnormality

Help Mac user help new Vista user - install itunes or not?

Hi,
My friend has a new Vista PC and he's not a skilled user. I'm a Mac person myself. He's having tons of trouble with it and I live 2000 miles away. I'm here on a visit and have been helping him get Flash player and Yahoo IM etc installed.
Is iTunes a simple, painless, installation or does it require troubleshooting? If the latter, then we won't even try. Too little time for anything but install-and-play.
Your advice will be much appreciated.

Our luck will be problems out the wazoo. His PC is brand new and shiny, but working with it is like trying to do eye surgery on yourself without instruments or anesthesia: painful.
Maybe we'll postpone this until I buy him a Macbook later this year.

Thanks for the link. It's downloading the standalone installer now.
Still need someone to chime in if QT will install without problems on the Vista PC. This bit (with my emphasis) from Apple at the download page isn't encouraging.

Hi can you help I was having problems with my iPod so I restored it but I
accidentally set it up as a new iPod is there any way to restore it from an old
backup when I right click iPod in iTunes there isn't one anyway to recover one

The following says how to restore from backup.
iOS: How to back up
If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.
