Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again.

What do you mean it did not work! What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?
Have you changed your router channel? Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

I have Adobe Photoshop 10 installed on my MacBook Pro but cannot get it to type an O with Umlauts as it does on the keyboard outside Photoshop

I have Adbobe Photoshop 10 on my MacBook pro but when using it cannot get an O with Umlauts, which are easily done outside Adobe. I feel sure that it must be possible, but nothing I have tried has succeeded. Can anyone help?

How are you trying to get the Ö? By holding down the O key or by pressing Option-U to get the umlauts and then press the O?
I have a later version of Photoshop and am able to type Ö using the "Option-U + O" method, but not using the "hold down O" method. My guess is this has to do with the type engine inside Photoshop. Adobe apps tend to use a different type engine because it is capable of things the OS type engine cannot do.

I have bough music on iphone. They show up as purchased in store but cannot get them into my library on computer

I purchased music on my iphone. When I am on my lap top they do not show up in my library. They show as purchsed in the itunes store, but I cannot get them to library. I would like to listen to the whole songs I paid for and not just the previews. Any help would be appreciated..

Hello Husker Proud,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you would like to download all of your previous iTunes purchases to iTunes on your computer.
Follow these steps to download all your purchased songs:
Download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.
iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
To download an item, click its Download button .
To download all available items, click Download All.

I have an ipad and a bluetooth keyboard which was initially set up with a family member's account. Their account has been erased I am now using the ipad but cannot get the bluetooth keyboard to connect. no device is recognized. any suggestions????

I have an Apple iPad Mini With Wi-Fi 16GB and a Rock Bluetooth keyboard that was previously used by my daughter. Her information was erased from the ipad and I have set it up as a new user under my account. All went well until I tried to set up the keyboard. When I go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth the ipad does not detect any device. I know they were paired and working when she was using them. Could it be because the ipad/keyboard were operating with her account and know won't connect to mine? We do not live in the same city so how would I clear the keyboard so that I could connect it to a 'new' ipad?

Hi sugaliko,
You may need to set up your BlueTooth connection to the keyboard again. Use the steps in this article for guidance -

HT1349 I have a new laptop but cannot get my old itunes on it with my library please help

Please help me get my old itunes on to my new computer, yes it is authorised but I cant get my music or anything??

This issue does not have anything to do with AirPort networking. You may find that you will get better assistance if you repost it in the iTunes area.
However, in the mean time, what is the make & model of both your "old" and "new" computers? Was both the iTunes Library and Media Folder located on that old computer? Do you use iTunes Match?

Visual internet connection, but cannot get on the internet? Help:(

Hi people.
My wife bought me an Ipod touch. This is a long time ago, because I cannot use it with my wi-fi connection home. I took it with me to my parents, and it worked without any problems there. I took it with me to my place, and I got the same problems.
It says that I got connection and I have the Wi-fi connection icon, but I'm not connected to the net.
I've tried to connect many times. I've deleted and restarted the thing. I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169. I've tried to look at this discussion board, but haven't found any help.
I'm getting quite desperate, and I would like to get some help. Since I am quite a beginner, I would like a simple answer:) But any help will do great.
Thank you

Sulapeace,
for how long has your MacBook Pro been recharging? Has the light on your MagSafe connector changed color since you’d started recharging it? What do your battery level indicator lights show when you press the button next to them?

I have a Macbook Pro (2013) OS 10.8.1. Moved into a university house and need to use ethernet cable. Bought the Thunderbold connection but when I try to use the ethernet with it a webpage comes up saying Wireless Setup? No idea what to do.

Bought the Thunderbold connection but when I try to use the ethernet with it a webpage comes up saying Wireless Setup and Router Setup? I have previously used ethernets in similar situations and never had to input information like this?

I have tried to turn of the wi-fi but that doesn't work either. I think it could be a something to do with the internet provider because virginmedia comes up on the webpage. This is what comes up:
Wireless Setup
WGR614V9
V1.0.11_1.0.1VGUK
Wireless Setup
Name (SSID):
Security Passphrase (WPA-PSK):

Router Setup
Router Password:

any ideas?!?

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help, thanks.

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help? thanks

Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
Release the reset.
Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
This is version 5.
Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots.

I am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV. I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on. I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
You have two possibilities:
1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???
