Chat logs pop out in another device/computer
Hello,
Everytime i log in to another computer or mobile device, all the previous chats will pops out when the user comes online. I've already disabled the history and cleared the chat logs but problem still persist.
I was thinking the logs were stored in the skype server. Is there a way to disable/remove the logs from popping out in the future?
Thank you!
Happy to help.
I too am puzzled that both Apple and AT&T were apparently unaware that you had a modem, not a gateway.
If you had a gateway (which is a combination modem/router on one chassis with 3-4 ethernet ports), and you were configuring your AirPort Extreme to work with that device, then in that case, the correct setting would have been "bridge mode".
+Are there any downsides to sharing a public IP address?+
This is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme when it is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port). Since your modem only delivers one IP address, you must have the AirPort Extreme configured to "share that IP address" in order to have the device furnish separate IP addresses to each of your devices on the network.
With the AirPort Extreme in bridge mode, it was passing through the single IP address from the modem and only one device on your network was receiving that IP address. That's why you saw conflicts about another device using the same address.
Sounds like you are all set. This should work very well for you.

Another device using network message
I routinely have a pop up window that informs me:
"Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address.
Try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems, change the IP address of this computer or the IP address of the other device. Contact the network administrator if you need more information."
No other devices of mine use my wireless connection. I have long suspected someone of stealing my wireless service in order to cop my router's IP address. Could this message be indicative of someone outside my building using my wireless service?No other devices of mine use my wireless connection. I have long suspected someone of stealing my wireless service in order to cop my router's IP address. Could this message be indicative of someone outside my building using my wireless service?
Possibly. Do you secure your wireless network with WPA2 and use a strong password? Do you change this password periodically? If you can say "yes" to both, the chances of someone connecting to your network is extremely unlikely.
The other reason, you may be getting this warning is that the DHCP services, either on the server (router) or the wireless clients themselves are not configured properly. DHCP is used on the local network to assign Private IP addresses to network clients. These addresses, by default, are dynamic and will change on a set time period. If a network client is not configured properly it can "refuse" to accept a new address and can potentially have the same address that the DHCP server hands out to another device ... and thus, the warning message. -
Ip being used by another device? What does that mean?
An error message popped up saying another device has been using my ip address. What exactly does this mean, and how can I fix this? Please help.
Do you have another computer, iPhone/Pad/Pod? This is usually no problem.
Usually if you enable your router for Automatic (DHCP) IP address distribution, your device's IP address on your local area network will change without you knowing.
By Linc Davis
Most likely, you're getting a network address from your router. The address assignment ("lease") expires, and has to be renewed, after a certain amount of time, which might be one hour or one day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device was offline at the time. Meanwhile, the address was leased to another device on the network. When the first device comes back online, it still has the address that's now also leased to the second device. Depending on what kind of router you have, the conflict may resolve itself automatically. If not, then from the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the TCP/IP tab. Now look at the menu labeled Configure IPv4. If the selection in that menu is Using DHCP, click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. Test.
Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself, and another device is assigning itself the same address. In that case, the selection in the Configure IPv4 menu will be either Manually or Using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict won't be resolved automatically. You have the following options to resolve it:
Change the menu selection to Using DHCP.
Change the manually-assigned address to one that isn't being used by another device.
Change the address of the other device.
Which of these options you should choose depends on the details of why you're using a static IP address. Any change you make to the network settings must be applied before it takes effect. To do that, click OK and then Apply.
This happens to me all the time and has never been a problem. -
Problems with CC logging me out and not syncing
Every morning now when I come into work I find I've been logged out of CC
This has two affects:
No. 1 it didn't sync my files last night so I couldn't do the work I wanted to and
No. 2 I have to agree with the licence agreement for each app in turn every morning.
I've seen sync problems almost every day but drop box just works. Quietly in the background gets it right every time.
Adobe CC file syncing, one word "unreliable" why when drop box works more than perfectly on the exact same computer.
Any ideas what's going on here?
I understand it can't sync if it's logged me out but the point was I didn't even know it had logged me out, just shut the computer down
after about an hour of inactivity in the evening, went home to do the work I'd put in the CC folder and No, it wasn't there.
Do I really have to go back to thumb drives. 20gig of space if no good if it isn't reliable.Thank you. That was it. The settings must have reverted back be the iOS 7 update. I NEVER would have found that. Thank you.

Networking query - 'Another device using network'
Hi,
I keep getting a randomly timed message that another device is using my network even when there are none of my other network devices turned on. Setup is WPA2 Personal network and it is passworded.
Whatever it is seems to pick up IP addresses that I've previously listed as servers in Finder/Go/Connect. These were set up to facilitate file transfers to iPhone but I've made sure that the iPhones were turned off and I still get the message. I've tried clearing these server addresses out of Finder but they reappear on the list when I refresh the menu option: Finder/Go/Connect To Server.
Does this mean that someone is hacking my network and potentially using my internet?
Thanks,

what does the error message that says " You are logged out because another computer is using this IP address." mean?
Some other piece of network ghardware on your home LAN (Local Area Network) is using the IP address your Mac is trying to use.
Reboot both your modem and router, or the Modem/Router combo box you have, and all pieces of networking equipment, computers and printers, you have connected to your LAN.
If you continue to get that error then it is a bug in OS X or you have your Mac set to a Static IP address that is being handed out by the routers DHCP server to some other device. -
Each time I connect my iPad to computer, the pop up screen on the computer will show another name not my iPad name. The name shown on iTunes in device are is my iPad name. How would I rename it? Please help!
Gotcha, sorry, I'm guessing you are referring to Windows Autoplay. This should do it:
Type regedit into your search bar and bring up Registry editor. Go to the the very top with My Computer. Now go to Edit and Find. Type in the whole offending name that is bugging you, i.e. Soandso's iPhone and hit find. After it searches your registry and finds the first name select it and Edit the Name. I copy/pasted it for all the next steps. After you have found the first name don't stop there. Use F3 to find next Name in registry and So on and so fourth until you have replaced every offending name in your whole registry with the Name you want to show up i.e. Tom's iPhone or whatever? Repeat all of these steps if you have more than one name showing up in your devices? Worked 100% for me. Close regedit and reboot (very important for changes.) Plug your iPhone back in and enjoy all your names back to normal. -
What does it mean when a popup indicates another device on the network is accessing my computer's IP address?
On a related note, if you have a lot of family devices that use your router and don't care about tracking one of them down, you can fix it easily.
1. Just click on the Apple Logo () in the top left of your screen and choose "System Preferences"
2. Click "Network" from the System Preferences window.
3. Click "Advanced..." from the bottom right.
4. Click "Renew DHCP Lease" form the "TCP/IP" pane on the window that drops down (it should already be on that pane).
5. Click "Ok" at the bottom, then "Apply" at the bottom.
That should ask the router for a new DHCP connection, which will prompt it to give you a new IP address that is not already in use.
If that fails to work for some reason, you might need some more advanced steps, or you might just track down the other device and restart it. -
After I click OK to reload my page, it reloads but it doesn't load to my home page which is www.my.yahoo.com.
Firefox cautions against going to the lengthy trouble of using Safe Mode. Instead, it recommends resetting the browser to its original default settings. On 06/10/2012 the recommendation worked correctly for me. I have opened Firefox a few times and not endured a repetition of the message, "We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page."

But then there was still no Internet access even after I have disconnected all other home computers (a total of four including the Macbook and one iMac desktop. For simplicity, I shall categorically called them Mac hereafter unless otherwise specified. The Macs are operating on WiFi.).
The window message recommends changing the IP of either the Macs or the other device. The latter of course does not apply because I don't think the other device is one of my computers.
My questions:
(1) Why did that happen suddenly since the Mac and other computers on the WiFi was working fine in the morning (as well as days before) and then all of a sudden an unknown device is using my computer's IP? As far as I (we) can remember, we did not do any thing unusual this morning nor had we downloaded any special programs.
(2) How do I change the IP since it requires Internet acess to do it and since I can't access the Internet on the Mac?
(3) I am almost sure the problem is not caused by the Internet service because when I connected the Ethernet cable from the DSL modem to an old Windows PC, I got Internet via Internet Explorer. [I am actually sending out this message via IE on my PC.] However, when I cennected the Ethernet line from the modem to a WiFi router (Airport Extreme) and then connect the router and the old PC, I did not get Internet on either the Mac nor the PC. Similarly, there was no Internet on both Mac and PC If I connect Ethernet only between the modem and the router but not between PC and router. So, the question is whether a third unknown party has gotten hold of my Mac IP address and is trying to break into the Mac? Can it steal my personal info?
(4) How can I repair the Mac now and prevent future recurrences? Is changing the IP address the way to do it? (But like I said before I had tried but could not change the IP because I did not have Internet access on the Mac. Is there an alternative method?)
(5) I wonder if a computer's IP address remains constant if you don't change it. The reason I am asking this question is because the aforesaid window message on the Macbook--not sure about the iMac--shows a different IP address--a few numerical digits were changed--almost every time it pops up following every failure trial of mine to access the Internet. Was the Macbook trying to change the IP for me or was there some thing not right?Re: Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address.
This message/problem was occuring intermittently for me in a household with two MacBooks accessing one Airport extreme. Rebooting the modem and router would only temporarily fix the issue for me, so I spoke with a friend who works for Apple and it seems that the Airport Extreme settings were at the root of our particular issue.
The router(Airport Extreme) recieves only one IP address from the modem and in order to allow it to share the IP address with two computers at once, the solution in my case was through:
Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility>Manual Setup>Internet
under Internet Connection- Select "share a public IP address"
under NAT, check the box for "enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol"
(this will allow the sharing of one public IP address with multiple devices)
if this is a new setting, then click "Update" and the Airport Extreme should reboot itself with new settings applied.
When all else is working properly, this is a satisfactory solution in my case. -
Chat rep told me one thing and have log, now I get another but not in writing.
chat rep told me I could buy 4G jetpack and upgrade my 2200 mifi 3G without losing unlimited plan. He said if I did it online I couldn't do it but if I bought one retail, then I could switch and get 4G on the new jetpack. I have chat log in writing. Went out and bought the 4G device and it arrived today and I when to switch it today, the customer service person Melissa said she would get it done but now Verizon says both reps were wrong and they won't do that. I'm going to cancel my mifi and my cell phone now and charge them back for the purchase of the jetpack. I have all what they said I could do in writing but they won't tell me in writing that I can't do it. When speaking to supervisor, John Lloyd, my verizon phone cut off and rebooted (not sure if they did that?) anyhow called him back on another phone and he doesn't answer. Left voice mail twice trying to get escalation address. Verizon is clearly not worthy of my continued service.
This is the chat log with the rep. The rep explained that upgrading online was not possible but buying a 4G Jetpack and then switching was ok. See below:

Saving chat logs when reseting computer
Hi!
My laptop is in desperate need of some tough love so I'm going to reset it to the way it was when I bought it. The problem is that it means I will lose all saved data and I really don't want to loose my chat history. Is there any way to save skype with all chat logs on say an external HD and then reinstall it on my laptop again when I'm done? Or will I have to choose between having an incredibly slow computer (possibly with a virus on it) and hours of hours of conversations that are really important to me?
Thanks in andvance!Hi, Allvitr, and welcome to the Community,
Check out the third-party add-on chat logging applications in the Skype App store: http://shop.skype.com/apps/Chat-history-management/index.html
Another option to consider may be a freeware product offered by NirSoft.
Regards,
Elaine

we have a router at home that is supposed to support 10 devices but when i try to connect my mac book pro it says another device is using my computer's ip address
Are the IP addresses statically assigned (wrong ), or does the router give them out using DHCP (right )?

I purchased a book on one macbook in my itunes account. I tried to open it on another account while logging into itunes account. The book does not appear.
I have tried updating purchases, the bottom at the bottom-update purchases from another device. Still does not appear.If it's an audiobook then you will need to copy it over from the first computer to the second computer - audiobooks are currently one-time only downloads, so they won't appear under the Purchased link for re-downloading. If you copied it onto a device from the first computer then you should be able to copy it off that device to the second computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If it's not on a device and both computers are on the same wifi network then you should be able to copy it over via home sharing (there are instructions on this page), or you can copy it to, for example, a flash drive (you can find it's location on the first computer by control-clicking it in your iTunes library and selecting 'Show In Finder') and then add it to the second computer's iTunes (File > Add To Library).
If it's an ibook then you should be able to re-download it from the store : re-downloading.
