I'm hooked up to the ethernet using DHCP with manual address. It's running (green) but my internet (Safari, messenger, email) doesn't work! Help!

I'm running an iMac with Mountain Lion. Not only do we do accounting work on this computer with AccountEdge, but the computer functions as a server to another computer in a different state.
Anyway, I set a static IP address (Using DHCP with manual address) on it (to allow for a VPN to the computer in the different state) and it is connected (green dot) - meaning that the other computer in the different state can connect to us via that ethernet line - but for some reason Safari, Messanger, and Apple Email won't work.
But if I switch a dynamic IP (DHCP auto), I can use the internet (Safari, messanger, email), but the computer in the different state can't connect to this computer.
How can I fix this so that the computer in the different state can connect to this computer and that the internet (Safari, messanger, and email) can work at the same time?
Much thanks!

No but if they are using a VPN Tunnel for the connection that restricts all internet traffic over the tunnel. Which means you can't use that same computer to broswe the internet or connect to other computers or devices on your LAN.
I'd need to see the actual setup, router and the IP addresses you are using.
Networking and remote networking is fairly easy when you are in front of the systems you are working on. Doing it over the internet on a forum is almost impossible. Tha is why I suggested you get local help, like the person that originally set it up.

Leopard : Network : Unable to use DHCP with manual address.

After installing Leopard on my Macmini (PowerPC 1.42Ghz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD), I found my IP address obtains different IP address than Panther and Tiger use. Then I go into System Preferences -> Network -> select Ethernet -> select "Using DHCP with manual address" in the "Configure" combo box, and change the IP address from 192.168.0.8 to 192.168.0.100. Once I hit apply, the network connection never comes back. There is no complaint that another computer is using the 192.168.0.100 IP address. This works if I am using Panther or Tiger on the same computer.
Any help is appreciated.

Setting the DHCP to a number you want to use can be very useful in a busy environment. I usually choose to use numbers that are outside of the range of numbers being controlled by my router (Westell).
Port Forwarding for services like ARD, Azureus, or any server application break when the IP number changes for any reason.
Some routers will not allow numbers outside of a restricted range of numbers that can be set up in the router configuration menu's. In this case, I find out if the router is assigning numbers from the high or low end and make sure I assign numbers at the opposite end of the range.
My Westell router does allow me to use numbers other than the range of 50 numbers it has been told to use for DHCP, but I have also encountered problems when trying this on a wireless connection.

Network setup 'DHCP with manual address' changes to 'Using DHCP'

I have setup my local network with a manual address and have observed that the setting changes without my doing to simply Using DHCP. I can't get the setup to continue using a manually assigned ip address. Even though I've saved the network settings preferences, they revert to 'Using DHCP'. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If you "have setup (your) local network with a manual address," does that mean you have disabled DHCP in your router? If so, then you'd want to configure "manually" in your Sys Prefs > Network.
Or did you mean that you have setup a computer on your local network with a manual address using DHCP? (And that your router has DHCP enabled?)
If the router's DHCP is enabled, many routers will allow you to set aside a subset of IP addresses to the DHCP pool, and the remainder are, by definition, reserved for static addressing. Are you assigning the computer requiring a static IPA (but using DHCP defined gateway and subnet) an address falling within the static address range of your local subnet?
If you can't partition the address space between static IP addresses and DHCP-assigned IP addresses when DHCP is enabled, are you assigning a high-numbered IP address to the computer whose Sys Prefs has DHCP with manual address?

Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time caspule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport Express it worked!

Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time capsule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport express it worked, the single Ethernet port got the IP Parameters passed through!
My setup is a Vodafon Esaybox connected to ISP. Time Capsule is not able to extend the wlan of the easybox, neither airport express can do.
Only the option "connect to wlan" is succesful.
With airport express I was able to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the lan via ethernet to stream pictures, the TV set got an IP adress from the easybox.
With the time capsule the easybox dosn't find devices connected to the ethernet ports to submit IP adresses. The TV set get another IP adress (169.xxx.x.x.) in subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and I don not now where from.
My notebook is a MacBook pro.
Any idea????
Thank a lot in advance!
Kind regards

Neverthe less, could there be the chance, that this feature could be implemnented with an firmware update?
That would appear to be a question for Apple to answer. You can make suggestions to Apple here:
Apple - AirPort Extreme - Feedback
If the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule are configured to "extend a wireless network" they will provide additional wireless coverage....and...the Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup.
The "catch" here is that you must have an Apple router providing the network to be extended.

HT1222 Hey, I've tried to install the new iOS 7.1 but it says that the installation cannot be completed and doesn't say why. I have more than 50% battery left but it still doesn't work, help?

It probably means you don't have enough available storage on your phone. It takes space to store the download - THEN unpack it. Best method is to use a computer with iTunes (This allows you to back up on your computer as well).
PLEASE: Do not purchase iCloud storage space - this will not give you more room for the iOS 7.1 installation.

Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

I have a Macbook Core Du0 1.83ghz running 10.6.3. Each time I watch a video on youtube or watching Flash or other multimedia animations, my fan run super fast.
Is it the same with the new Macbook with the Nvidia Geforce graphic card?
Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

Watching videos taxes the GPU and CPU. That's why the fan runs faster - to cool the computer. When you aren't doing much the fan slows down. This is true of all the laptops regardless of which GPU is involved.
Since you have the first generation MB model, it runs hotter than later models that incorporated some changes to the cooling system making the fan run faster during idle. You can accomplish a similar result using the third-party fan control software, SMCFanControl - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. It can be used to increase the fan's idle speed to 2000 RPM. This won't make the fan run any slower when the computer heats up.

I want to buy the song "I want to hold your hand" by Al Green but it is not on itunes, is there any way i could recommend this song to be carried by itunes?

I want to buy the song "I want to hold your hand" by Al Green but it is not on itunes, is there any way of getting it on itunes or being able to reccomend that this song be carried by itunes?

You can submit suggestions for the iTunes Store through the feedback page. Whether or not your suggestion will ever be acted upon will depend on a number of factors, some out of Apple's control (to start with, the artists and record companies have to be willing to license the tracks to Apple), so don't expect instant action.

HT4847 Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

I found the solution .,,,
1) click on your current plan and press done your payment details will appear .
2) the first section is your plan and there is a botton "change" click on it
3) it will take you back to the upgrade options
4) press on the downgrade options
5) choose the 5 GB and the done botton will be enabled
6) click on it you'll back to the step number 2 , here read carefully you'll see that your changes will take effect after the current plan expired with the date.

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app.
