Computer looses wifi connection followed be error message.

Computer looses connection.
I have a MacBokk Pro and both iPad and iPod 3rd Generation on the same network.
The following comes up every so often:
"Another device on the network is using your computer’s IP address (10.0.0.4).
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."
How do I fix this ?
Regards

The problem isn't solved after all.
it just did it again.
This started recently, I had the network setup for ages.
I recently added the iPad to the network.
It's only the MacBook Pro that looses connection to the WIFI. Both iPad and iPod are still capable of browsing the internet, etc.

  • I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

    I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
    I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue. 
    I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
    I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
    Many Thanks.

    Progress Update.
    I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone.  I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
    Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted) 
    Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
    Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
    As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio.  The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
    I then went to bed as the restore is a long process.  When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up.  Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
    This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
    I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
    Here are the lessons learned.
    DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
    DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
    DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store.  (I did both :-(

  • Safari and Chrome "can't connect to webpage" error message

    I recently purchased this macbook on the 26th and it was working completely fine the first day. Today i was using my macbook and it was working completely fine, then about 20-30 minutes after turning on and using my macbook webpages failed to load. In safari I would refresh the page and the page would stop loading at about 40%, and when i tried doing using the search bar instead of the URL bar, i would recieve a "Can't connect to server error" saying that safari was unable to connect to Google. On Chrome i tried opening the same page, such as twitter or youtube, and the page would fail to load as well and it would give me the "unable to connect to webpage" error message. Anything connected to the internet won't load as well, such as the app store or even skype. Whenever i restart the computer it begins working fine again, but returns to its previous state after 20-30 mins again. I have tried restarting my router and even connecting to a different router. I have also checked my proxies and nothing is selected. I am just wondering what to do at this moment, should i take my computer in so soon? Or should I give the computer some time to get "broken in."? My macbook is running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4

  • Imac keeps loosing WIFI connection

    Hi all,
    I loose wifi connection most of the time (but not all the time) at around 18:00 pm !?!, very strange !
    I have no neighbors and no houses close enough to interfere with my wifi.
    After loosing connection I do: Syst. Pref - Network - unblock modification with password - Help me - Diagnosis then choose my wifi
    and it starts working again for 3 minutes.
    Then I loose connection again and have to go through all the previous steps.  After 4 or 5 times it's all ok.
    What gives ? Can anyone help me please ? Any suggestions ?
    I have to use wifi because my ethernet port and firewire ports both stopped working and Apple says I have to take the machine for repair.
    Thanks for any help.
    OSX 10.9.4

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 7
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 8
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

    cant open itunes. get error message 7 followed by error message windows error 127.     i have redownloaded new updates with luck.   window xp

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Webex Connect "An unknown error ocurred connecting the server" Error Message

    Hi,
    We have the latest Cisco Webex Connect Clients (7.1.1 Build 16597) in use in our company. With no obvious reason one of our employees now can't connect to Webex Connect getting the Error Message "An unknown error ocurred while connecting to the server." We tried to close and re open the client and to re-enter the password, both with no succes. Using another Jabber/XMPP capable IM Client works but not using Cisco Webex Connect.
    Can anyone help?

    You may face this issue if your IE is working in offline mode.
    To resolve:
    Try going to google.com on internet explorer.
    Click on connect when prompted.
    Once google.com opens fine then try logging in to the WebEx Connect again.
    It should work now.

  • HT4628 iMac looses wifi connection

    My iMac (OS 10.8.5) looses wifi connection every once in a while. I go to Network Diagnostics, press all those Continue buttons, at some point it sais "Your Internet connection appears to be working correctly" and the Internet connection is being restored right at this moment. It can happen 2 or 3 times a day or may not happen for weeks. I have seen this with three different routers, moreover, I had this problem in a different place with a different iMac (OS 10.6 again with different routers). Its annoing. May be there is some simple thing I just don't know? Thank you.

    Perfect it has been working fine ever since you posted the update 3 months ago.  UNTIL to day i am having the same problem my imac randomly disconnected from the internet while i was watching youtube.  when i went to the wifi icon in the top bar it searched and nothing! logging in/out doesnt help the only fix is to restart any advice?

  • I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message!

    I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!

    What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
    Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
    Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
    Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
    Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

  • Does anyone else have an issue with the iPad loosing wifi connectivity?

    My 6 month old 64 gig iPad keeps loosing WiFi connectivity.  This is a problem since I need it for work to test live video streams.  I keep having to back out and reconnect from the systems panel.  This happens when I shift posting even an inch while sitting down or moving from room to room at home.  I have strong connectivity both at home and at work.  There isn't an issue on any of my other devices and a co worker of mine has the same exact iPad, and he is having the exact same problem.  Is there a fix?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset then select "Reset Network Settings". the device will shut down and reboot. while that is rebooting, unplug the router, count to 10 plug it back in. wait for the network to appear in wifi accounts, and you're good as gold.
    but make sure you know your wifi password or you wont be able to access it.

  • WAP200 looses wifi connectivity in irregular intervals

    We currently have ~15 WAP200 accesspoints distributed over 4 buildings. Random devices seem to go unresponsive at irregular intervals (web interface still works, clients see a signal, but cannot connect). Rebooting the device solves the problem. User authtication is solved via a radius backend (freeradius), although I highly doubt this is causing the problem since the radius server does not recieve any requests from "broken" accesspoints.
    Configuration is WPA2 - Enterprise, only 1 SSID, Power is via PoE
    Unfortunately it isn't possible to reliably reproduce the problem. Anyone else having this problem?

    Yes, I have only one WAP200E (with PoE) and it pressents the same issue. I have it configured with open security, 1 SSID, I mean with the simpliest configuration and it still looses wifi connectivity. It presents the same sintoms:
    web interface still works, clients see a signal, but cannot connect
    I even updated FW from 1.2 to 2.0.0.27.
    Attached is the actual config

  • Ipad 3 keeps loosing wifi connection

    My new ipad keeps loosing wifi connection when downloading documents, apps, etc.
    When i turn of the wifi and download via the 3G, it works fine. And after switching on wifi again, everything seems good.
    Are there anybody that has the same problem with the new ipad?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
