TS1368 itunes on my new alienware laptop acts as if the computer is not connected. (which it is) can not sign in with my itunes username and password. itunes help even pops up with "your computer is not connected to the internet"....

so in other words, I can NOT sign in on my account, much less authorize this laptop. can't even access help.  have downloaded the latest itunes software, checked my firewall settings etc.... (the itunes help window even opens up with "itunes help is unavailable because your computer is not connected to the internet".  granted I am basically computer illiterate, in other words if something isnt working my knowledge is pretty limited with tweaking things. I need some help!

On an Alenware laptop, this issue is often older drivers on the Bigfoot networking card.
Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of Alienware at Dell. Check for newer versions of the drivers for your Bigfoot card. If you're behind and you update, can you get through to the Store (or Help) now?

  • My sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone).  I want to set his up with his own username and password.  How do i do that and can it be done without losing any of his apps, songs or video?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
    To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID.

  • Problems with setting first username and password

    I haven't used a cisco router in over 12 years, so I'm a bit rusty.  I had to replace a nortel box for a small charter school here in Hawaii, so I decided to go with a cisco 1941 / K9 router. using a usb terminal connection I started up the router as directed in the PDF documentation for this box.  It warned me that I must change the starting username and password (<cisco> and <cisco> respectively) with my own username and password.  I wanted to change this to <cisco1> and a simple password.  I thought I followed the directions, but I failed to reset the user name and password.  As I was looking up online for help on how to set a new username and password, the terminal window timed-out and now I can't log in to the 1941 router at all.
    How do I reset the router?  Once I do how do I correctly setup  username and password after I login once with cisco and cisco?
     Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm attaching a screen capture of the terminal window...

    How do I reset the router?
    Power OFF the router.
    If you look at the back (where the power button is) and to the lower left-hand corner, you'll observe two CF slots.  Pop the cover open and eject the CF. 
    Power up the router.  
    Observe the console terminal and when you see "rommon1>" enter the command "confreg 2142".  
    After the command has been accepted, insert the CF back and reboot the router.  
    Your router should boot into factory default (Username & Password are "cisco") but the config-registry value is still 2102.  
    Do the following:
    ​conf t
    config-registry 0x2102
    username BLAH password BLAH
    end

  • CANNOT CONNECT TO WIFI THROUGH IPOD TOUCH 4G..ROUTER REQUIRES USERNAME AND PASSWORD..HELP NEEDED

    i have a ipod touch 4g...and my router requires WEP key and a username and a password when i connect to it through my laptop..ipod touch only asks for a password i.e. the WEP key..question is how to enter the username and the password in ipod touch?  

    my service provider has provided me with a username and a password..therefore my router is "NOT ALWAYS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET"..also PPPoE is enabled...
    i think i ll have to call the ISP and tell him to remove the username and password...because i dont think that ipod has a provision for entering passwords other than the WEP key..

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song and it says my computer is not authorized to play it, but when I put in my apple id and password to authorize it it tells me this computer is already authorized! What do I do?

    I downloaded a song from itunes and it says my computer is not authorized to play it, to authorized enter your apple id and password so I did, then it said that this computer was already authorized, but it still won"t let me play the song! What do I do?

    Apparently not!! I am NOT happy about it either! I had always bought my mp3's from walmart.com (until they quit doing it) & ANY time I had a problem, they had it corrected in less than 5 minutes! Apple is a large enough company, that they should have an EASY to find support system. Having to post on here, WAITING for someone who MIGHT know how to fix it, is aggrevating!! I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY MORE MUSIC FROM ITUNES & WILL BE GOING TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN APPLE PRODUCT!

  • Upon opening MFF 3.6.3 I am asked to authenicate a username and password to get on to "fasTun". I believe this is a virus, which I am unable to find, or eradicate. This co-incided with my computer located in Canberra, Australia, thinking my ISP is in Fran

    See detail in original question. Here is the text from the dialog box which comes up, with fields for Username and Password: "The proxy fastun.com:7000 is requesting a user name and password. The site says: "fasTun"." This means I'm unable to use MFF. I've uninstalled MFF and re-installed MFF and the same occurs. The problem arose after I'd been surfing the Net and got to a German site. From that point onwards my internet became very slow. When I ran "speedtest.net" my computer was going thruugh Frankfurt, Germany, instead of Canberra, Australia! Can you please help?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Following my doing a System Restore to a point prior to the computer slowing down. From that point on I've been unable to use MFF to connect to any websites. The problem does not appear using Windows Internet Explorer 8, nor is there an issue with speed of downloads. ==

    Check the proxy settings under Tools -> Options -> Advanced - Network tab, Settings button.
    You probably want No Proxy, if it is set to anything else.

  • Username and password do not match

    I can no longer authenticate.  I get "Username and password do not match".
    Is there a file I can edit to reset the username and password?
    Thanks in advance,

    We should take a look at the log files to see what's really going on but if you haven't done anything with the installation yet then "reinstalling" is very easy.
    In the directory where you launched the jar file, you should find a directory named "crx-quickstart". Simply rename this directory to "crx-quickstart.old" and restart the jar file. Your new environment will be ready in a couple of minutes.  Keep the old directory and look into the [your directory]\crx-quickstart\logs directory for details on your original problem.

  • 10.0.01 ver. doesn't sign-in automatically i look up password manager, it seems it saves usernames and passwords, when i visit websites i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time.

    10.0.01 version doesn't sign-in automatically... i look up password manager, it seems to it saves usernames and passwords, when i try to visit that website i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time... it happened after mozilla updated itself... please help about it.. (i dont have problems like this in Opera browser)
    mozilla fills user name when i click but after that it asks for main password (whats the purpose of remembering passwords if it will ask for main password)
    by the way main password for password manager is of course useful but it şs useful whenever i want to use it not all the time i open mozilla .
    and not all the time i open a website or forum which i often use...
    there were no problems before it updated itself...
    please tell me the solution

    my problem is not related with using main password or not...
    in former versions of firefox i was automatically signed in to websites without any click... it wasnt asking me to sign-in (because my usernames and passwords were remembered-and saved in password manager)
    in this version they are remembered again but i have to write first 2-3 letters of my username and it remembers my username then it remembers password...
    for example when i clicked twitter.com my account and my homepage as automatically opened, but in this version when i click twitter.com it opens the sign-in page and i write first 2 letters of my user name it remembers name and password and then i signin
    (difference i was at where i want to sign in with one click--- but in new version 1click for webpage-1 click for clicking to username are-1-2 letter writing to find my user name-1 click to remember password-1 click to sign in) an addition: also if i am using main password i am entering main password and click to sign-in
    This can be little problem to u, but it is really annoying problem, 9-10 clicks more for each webpage which i wanted mozilla to remember my usernames and passwords... it also asks main password if i am using...
    if i want to visit 5-6 different websites it means 70-80 clicks more and 50-60 letters typing according to your main password .. (in opera and mozillas former versions it is just 5-6 clicks)
    so main problem is the cookies were remembered in all the sessions but after it updated to v.10.0.1 expiry date of cookies of same websites that i visit are just for one session... it is not related with the websites and their servers that i visit because if so how can Opera remembers all the time...

  • Log in with default username and password

    Is there a way to create a pdf so that it automatically logs in with a default username and password so that the user is not prompted upon opening?

    No, there is no way set a default user name and password, but as an alternative you can set your policy to be "Anonymous Access", meaning that there is no authentication (of the user) required to open the document, but you can still control (i.e. prevent printing) what the "anonymous" user can do to\with the document.

  • When i open Firefox (in general), i dont mean sign into any email address, just to start using Firefox, i want to have always to sign in with my proxy account = username and password..how? thank you!

    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
