Airport can no longer get DHCP address

Hello,
I'm at the point of dumping the airport base station in the trash, but thought I would try this first.
I have broadband internet service. It worked - until mid morning today. Suddenly it will not work. The base station (old one, white - snow?), though set for DHCP, now defaults to a self-addressed 169... address. I have tried:
- powering off the base station, the cable modem, powering up one at a time, etc etc. Internet provider (insight, IL) says they don't know why the apple base station is unable to renew the DHCP lease.
- The Airport Admin Utility is set to Ethernet, using DHCP. There is no "renew DHCP lease" button there, but I have switched it to connect using modem and then switched backed to Ethernet, hit Update, and back comes Using DHCP ... with a 169.254 address.
- I can connect through the cable modem with my powerbook without a problem. The address starts with 74.134.
I take it the self-assigned IP means there was a timeout or the airport was otherwise unable to get what it considered a valid IP.
Is the base station toast?
Should I buy a router and hook it to that? Seems redundant, with my setup (two laptops, one desktop connected to base station LAN port)
I've spent several hours reading (via direct connect to the cable modem) and trying different wiring / reset combinations, and have about had it. Any thoughts most welcome.
Thanks,
Brian

It is a long while since I tried Google Toolbar, I am not sure what it changes. But I would not expect it to totally remove your options to use the ordinary toolbars.
■ Try
* press the''' alt '''key on the keyboard, that may return the menu bar
* once you have the menubar '''View -> Toolbars ->''' and select which you need
* you may also use View-> Toolbars -> Customise and drag items back or use the restore default set option.
* right clicking on the toolbars also gets you to the customise and show toolbars options
■ have a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
PS
I hope you do not need to resort to editing registry settings, the firefox 'dragons' in prefs are user friendly compared with Windows registry. Messing up firefox prefs only really affects firefox normally; whereas errors in a registry edit may prevent you from even booting the computer.

I can no longer get my address bar, back or foward buttons, tool bar, menu bar or anything else. How can I restore?

When I open Firefox I do not get an address bar only Google comes up. I don't get a back or forward button nor do I get the tool bar or menu bar. There is no default button. I read the forum but I can not make any corrections because I don't have a tool bar displayed. I am using 3.6. When I turn off my computer and then turn it back on, the default settings still do not return.

I have forgot my password. My company changed emails and I can no longer get to the email address that was set up on my iPad.

Ihave forgot my password to my account. ( I set a new one up to do this). When I go on to retrieve my password, it mails it to an email address I can no longer get to. I always use the same combination of passwords, so I know it is something simple. I am trying to get to my iCloud account and retreive my apps for my iPad.

If you can verify the serial number of an apple product registerd in your name, and can verify your apple id, and possibly some other info (credit card on file is a good one) you can call 1-800-APL-CARE. The tech should be able to verify this info, and if so can transfer you to account security.

Current model Airport Extreme no longer accepting DHCP WAN assignment

I woke up to my airport extreme not connecting to my ISP.
I'm using DHCP on the WAN side, and my Airport can no longer retrieve a DHCP address. It appears the Airport does find the ISP's router address (the router address and subnet mask are populated), and my ISP sees the DHCP request. However, my Airport will not accept the DHCP response and assign the address. (My Internet connection is over a fiber line and I use a "portal" for access. As such the ISP can see any and all packets for troubleshooting.)
I purchased my Airport new in November, 2011.
If I connect my Macbook Pro directly to the portal, I get a new address off the ISP.
My ISP then created a DHCP reservation. Still no luck. I then tried assigning a static address. That works as well.
So it seems my router is not accepting the DCHP response or assigning the address. My ISP uses DHCP3 on Linux.
Any ideas?

So it seems my router is not accepting the DCHP response or assigning the address. My ISP uses DHCP3 on Linux.
I'm not aware of any incompatibilities with version 3 of the DHCP service that would cause your AirPort not to accept an IP address from your ISP ... although anything is possible. Is this something that your ISP has just updated their DHCP services to or has this been their configuration for a while?

I can no longer get into my WRT150N1.1 router any longer since I switched to Clear

I switched to Clear wireless a few weeks ago and I can no longer get into my router to change the settings. This is a bummer because I now no longer have a secure connection. 192.168.1.1 no longer accesses the router, and I checked my IP address and it is (for clear I assume) 192.168.15.3. So I tried using 192.168.15.1 and it took me to Motorola WIMX CPE, (which I am assuming is the Clear webpage)
I am on a Mac running Intel chip. Any help would be appreciated.
Have tried getting in from my Ipad without any luck.
Thanks

The trick to make this work is
hold down the reset button for about 30 seconds, then unplug the device, while you are still holding down the reset button.
leave unplugged for about 5 seconds, while you are still holding down the reset button.
plug the unit back in, while you are still holding down the reset button.
after about 5 seconds, let go off the reset button.
go to the webpage of the router.
Now you can try to access the setup page of your Router, i think this should work and you should be able to access the setup page of your router and able to make the changes on your Router.

WRVS4400N Unable to get DHCP address via wireless

I am having an issue with the WRVS4400N. I am unable to get a DHCP address via wireless. If I connect directly to the router via RJ45, I get a dhcp address an and able to get to the internet. Has anyone ran into this issue.

This seems to be a problem with the latest firmware (v1.01.03) available from Linksys for this router. The stock firmware for my WRVS4400N router assigned DHCP addresses to wireless devices without any issue. As soon as I upgraded the router to v1.01.03, the router no longer assigns DHCP addresses to wireless devices. I have verified there is no issue with the router itself by rolling back to version 1.00.16 with the recovery utility.
One workaround I noticed with firmware v1.01.03 is that the router will actually assign DHCP addresses to wirelss devices temporarily if it assigns a DHCP address to a device connected to the physical port. This only last for a little before the router stops giving out DHCP address to wireless devices though. It's a shame since I was looking forward to some of the features in the v1.01.03 firmware.

When using Firefox I can no long get the two finger enlargement to work on my Apple. The same site will enlarge using Safari, so I assume it has to do with Firefox

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop?

How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this? not good.
You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. you should get the option to merge.
You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
The ipod is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

I can no longer get Firefox to come up on my laptop

I have windows vista and had an update of firefox last week and since then I can no longer get firefox to load on my desktop. I downloaded it again and still no luck at all. right now I'm using IE which I do not like at all. Can you help me?
Thanks \Barbara

Possibly security software or their settings is preventing Firefox downloading, or is blocking its changes and installation. For that and other troubleshooting tips see
* [[software update failed]]
* [[firefox does not work]]
Are you able to locate the Firefox Installer file on your computer. If you need to download it again use
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
* and follow instructions for a clean install,
** do NOT use any option from Windows or Firefox to delete personal data,that will destroy passwords, bookmarks and other settings. It is the windows program folder that you may need to remove

I can no longer get my calendar to send a reminder e-mail for on a date in the future....alerts no problem

I can no longer get my calendar to send a reminder e-mail for on a date in the future....alerts no problem

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I can no longer get to my e-mail from MY pc computer.

I can no longer get my e-mail from (MY) PC. This started happening about a week ago. I have Win 7 Pro, IE 9, Icloud 2.1.1.3, and I normally use Thunderbird instead of Outlook. TB says problem with loging in to server. I then tried Icloud.com, can log in just fine but when it starts to load mail, a message comes up that says "There was a problem loading the application" and the report message says 'a possible network error or missing resources'. I can use a different computer and get my mail just fine from Icloud.com. TB also sends mail just fine. Can anyone help?

there should be an X on the right side of each tab. clicking on it should close that tab
