Switched HD to new computer now ethernet won't work [SOLVED]

Had an old Dell desktop in which the motherboard failed (capacitors leaked), but was able to move the HD into another Dell with a similar architecture (Dell Optiplex GX270 ->Dell Dimension 8400). Everything seems to work fine except the wired internet.
When I boot up ip link shows the eth0 as "DOWN". Performing a
ip link set eth0 up
seems to correct this except when I run
dhcpcd
(or dhclient) "DISCOVER" packets are sent out with no response (dhcpcd keeps sending out discover packets until it times out).
lsmod
shows that the correct module is loaded. Which is tg3 according to lspci -v which states the model as a
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751 PCIExpress
I've played around with the configurations in dhcpcd.conf, with unplugging and re-pluging the ethernet cable, unloading and reloading the kernel module, and any other possibly related suggestions I could find in the forums (which I've speant a few days search through).
Any advice?
EDIT: Since I've had this problem I've disabled the [email protected] from systemctl (which was how I origionally was autoconnecting in the old computer) and have just been trying to connect manually.
SOLUTION: needed to register the new MAC address with the IT administrators of the network in order to be whitelisted.

dmesg|grep eth
gives

[ 158.886150] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
EDIT: I believe that everything after 157 above is after I give the 'ip link set eth0 up' command.

Switched to a new computer - now iTunes won't open

Hi everyone,
I did a search and couldn't find relevant/helpful information, so I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.
I recently purchased a new laptop that came with iTunes 6.0. My old laptop had iTunes 4.7 on it. I ran a program called PC Relocator to transfer all my files/programs/settings, and instead of choosing manual selection, I let it transfer anything and everything it "thought" needed to be transferred.
Now, iTunes will not open on my new computer. Whenever I try to open it, I get the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. I have tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, following all troubleshoot tips both on the website as well as in these forums, deleting all installation programs, all registry information - I even tried reinstalling it with the Recovery CD included in my new laptop, all to no avail.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice or suggestions anyone might have. Thank you all so much!
Antony Merkel

Switched from lxde to e17 now Deluge won't work?

Hi all,
I've been playing with different Windows Managers and a few Desktop Managers lately.
Today I installed e17 from a fully working lxde setup and now deluge won't load.
I installed e17 as suggested in the wiki:
pacman -S e17-svn desktop-file-utils e17-extra-svn
I still haven't removed lxde, I just edited my .xinitrc.
I've tried selecting deluge from the application menu and nothing happens.
I've tried running it (as user) from the terminal and all it does is spit that python2.6 deprecation warning before going back to a blinking cursor.
I've tried running it via sudo (and gksu) and it spits out the same error as above but never progresses to the blinking cursor.
I've tried opening a root shell (via su) and get the same as above.
I've tried reinstalling deluge, no change.
I've only been playing with enlightenment for a few hours now, any ideas?
edit:
Oh, I've also replaced the default file manager with pcmanfm.
When I try to access /home/"user"/.config/deluge it freezes the whole computer and I have to restart x.
I noticed this because according to the permissions my normal (non-root) user doesn't have write privileges and that doesn't seem right.

I can't help you with your main problem, but for this one, just do:
sudo chown -R $USER:users /home/$USER/.config/deluge

New Computer but iPod won't work

I just got a new computer for Christmas (yay!), but I can't do anything with the songs on my iPod when I plug it into the computer. I have some really old songs that I wanna get rid of, but there are many that I want to keep. The computer that I used to use doesn't have iTunes anymore. What can I do?

Copying the program over to a new machine will not work. Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

Hi,
If it doesnt work after applyign patch try the below solutions:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
16 GB RAM
itunes up-to-date
Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
1 GB RAM
itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

im so happy I have a iTunes Card Code absolutely free! I got it at http://linkbitty.com/freeitunes2014

I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My old computer died just after I transferred iTunes via external HD. When I transferred the content from the HD to the new computer, most songs won't play. Message is "Can't identify source". Sharing was on in the old computer when it died.
