I cant connect with APE but i can with ethernet???

I hook up the ethernet cable to the wall and connect it to my ibook and every thing is fine but when i connect the same ethernet to the air port there is no connection . now in the network section of the system preferences it says that you are connected to network but the aiport has self assigned an ip address and may not connect to the internet and it is totally true
does any one know how to fix this problem

Your roomate is using an AX as well?
I presume not.
Some connections associate themselves with the MAC address of the first device connected (in your case your iBook) and therefore the Airport Express can not connect.
The only solution I can think of, is to change the MAC address on your iBook to match the MAC address of the Airport Express.
Re-login using the iBook.
Unplug the iBook and plug in the AX and see if that works.

    Why i cant connect iTunes Store but Internet can connect?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Quicktime cant connect to stream, but VLC can

    I have a weird problem where if I open an rtsp://myURL/mystream.sdp link in quicktime, it never loads. However if I open it in vlc it does load.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks
    Alex

    Transport stream must match your settings. Try HTTP and port 80.
    Check your QuickTime MIMe Settings to be sure it is set to open the RTSP ports in your browser.

    i cant connect to wifi but my laptop can and my other phones can.ived done all the recommendations in ipad support but still cant connect..what else shall i do?

    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

  • WRT54GS Cant connect to IE but can connect to Firefox

    I recently change from DSL to Broadband through Comcast and I cant get on IE. I can get on IE when I directly connect my cable modem to my computer but when I connect my cable modem to my WRT54GS it wont connect to IE but I can get on Firefox. I work at home so I need IE to work. By the way Im using a wired connection.

    Make sure proxy settings are disabled in IE. You don't need them with a cable Internet connection.

  • When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes from my ipod.yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered. HELP!!

    When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes right from my ipod.Yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered on the computer. I've tried holding the home and sleep/wake button for 10 sec and then only the home for 5sec and that might have reset it, but it didn't help. If any of you guys know what to do so I can unlock it I would appreciate it VERY much.

    If you haven't done so install iTunes on your computer. http://www.apple.com/itunes/

  • Cant connect with airport because of password?

    HELP!!!
    im very new to this.
    i am in spain. just got a router and can connect with ethernet, but not with wi fi. my roommate hooked right in with his pc and the 13 digit password.
    ive read the help pages adn tried the " " and $ tricks but no good.
    wierd too, because i get the signal with it's name, but cant get in: says incorrect password.
    to top it off, i went into my airport admin and assistant to set up the base station, and it doesnt find it.
    help!

    thanks.
    i think i went through that page pretty thoroughly. no help. like i say, i tried those translation tricks and no dice.
    any other thoughts? isnt it kind of wierd that i receive the signal, but then my airport administrator wont recognize the base station?
    thanks again

  • Cant connect with new modem

    Im currently using the Versalink 327W modem and it works fine but it disconnects randomly lately.  I tried replacing the ethernet cable but it only recognizes the one I was using for some reason.  I decided to purchase the Westell 6100 on Ebay but I cant connect.  When I try opening internet explorer I get a log in page asking me to enter my isp email adress and phone number.
    I also tried using the GT704WG modem but I cant connect to it either.  All lights are fine except for the Internet light which turns Red.  Is there a reason I cant connect with a new modem, when my old modem works fine?

    Try this.

    my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back

    I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
    If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked)

    This means you will need to put the device into a Forced Recovery Mode in order to restore the device. You can do this by connecting the device to your computer, holding the Home & Power buttons together until the device restarts with an Apple Logo, once you see this logo pop up remove your finger from the Power Button continuing to hold down the Home Button. You should then see a prompt within iTunes stating that it has detected a Device in Recovery Mode. Proceed through the restore prompts and it should be ok to use again.

  • My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

    My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

  • Can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums

    can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums in mp3.

    Sorry, but music tracks and other media contact are not available in Israel via an iTunes Store at this time. None of us here can say when Apple will be able to obtain the necessary licenses and feel it worthwhile to set up an iTunes Store for your country.
