I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.

Hi Jake,
Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

Hi, this has worked for a few...

The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>Airport>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply.
Also, turn off IPv6:
System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6

  • I have just changed my router and whilst I can connect to  the router I can no longer air print on my hp 5524 which is also connecting to my router

    I have just had to change my router, which has resulted in my i pad and HPphotosmart 5524 not connecting even though both devices are connecting well to the router. My laptop on windows prints on wi fi perfectly.
    My previous router a 7 year old Netgear worked with the i pad but not this  new Huawei HG532.
    Is this the router or an Apple/HP issue. My network provider AOL/Talk Talk seem to want to point the finger towards the latter even though their old Netgear worked.
    They are ringing me back this afternoon and I would like some advise to back up my problem.

    You have to set the new SSID and Password on your printer to put printer and iPad on the same network. Run the CD again.
    Setup a typical HP AirPrint Printer
    1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.
    2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.
    3. You will be asked to connect printer to computer with USB cable
    4. You will be ask how you want to connect to printer, select Network (Ethernet/Wireless) and then click Next.
    5. Setup will access computer and router for wireless settings.
    6. Setup will ask if you want to use wireless settings (SSID and Password) to setup printer. Select Yes and press Next.
    7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.
    8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.
    9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint.

  • I installed 10.6.8 from 10.6.6 on my Macbook Pro and now can't open Safari-think it's something to do with the Intego anti-virus software. Reverted Intego software back to default state and now computer just boots ups up slowly and can't access a thing.

    I installed 10.6.8 from 10.6.6 OS on my MacBook Pro and have not been able to open secure sites on Safari.  Think it has something to do with the Intego Anti-virus installed.  Tried restoring Intego to default status and now my Mac barely boots up and does nothing else but spin.  Ugh.  Has anyone had similar issues and if so, were you able to resolve?  How?  Thanks, 

    1: Backup your user files folders of Documents, Music, Pictures etc., to a external powered drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
    2: Insert the 10.6 installer disk and reboot holding c
    3: Simply reinstall OS X without erasing the drive, it will overwrite the installed version of OS X and the root level software, but leave your Applications folder contents (expect Apple bundled programs) and user files alone. (but backup anyway in case it fails)
    4: Reboot and the Integro is gone out of your system, but there may still be something laying around in Applicaitons to delete. Use Software Update to get up to date.
    5: You don't need anti-virus on a Mac, Apple provides it already for you sight unseen.
    6: If you Software update, the bad certificate issues are pulled, thus are not a threat.

    By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
    I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.
    I have already forwarded the complaint to the police.
    How can I find out it if my iPhone 5 is offline?

    I am trying to download a System scan from http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/ but its only downloading the shortcut logo, not the scan. It works on my Laptop with the same Firefox upgrades and Norton 360. This has only happened since I upgraded to V5.0

    My computer will not disconnect from the internet.  It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy
    Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
    If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.

  • TS3798 I can't get wifi on my iphone even though my desktop computer can get the internet.  I thought it was a problem with the modem so I got a new one ...but still the same problem (my computer gets internet but my iPhone cannot get wifi from it).  PLEA

    I was always able to get WiFi on my iPhone through my home computer.  Then all of a sudden it went out (uses 3G network instead of WiFi).  Sometimes it would connect back to WiFi for a few seconds then back to 3G.  I then decided it was the modem so I got a new modem.   Well, I have no problem getting internet on my home computer but cannot still get WiFi on my iPhone from my computer.  What do I need to do - HELP!!

    Thank you again.
    Yes, it worked. First, I just replaced the all info. as before,  the router IP also (Stupid) , not success.
    So, I created the new network, then, the Router IP automatically showed up .
    I think the old setting still there under my Airport station (so, 2 setting right now)?
    Anyway, my iPad and iPod touch works well with the new wi-fi network.
    Thank you very much.
    I got this Airport Extreme from a friend who wen to Time Capsule, still have the box and serial No. but will not work for Apple Phone support.
    I appreciate for your fast help.

  • The app store thinks all my apps were bought with the same id

    When i try to update all my apps (or individually) it always asks me for my main id, but i use 3 different ids, that all have paid apps. i can confirm all apps that will not update have been bought with the other two ids (not the main one). when i try to update an app that wasnt bought with my usual id i get this. "this discounted price is only available to customers who own a previous version of this item for other itunes accounts etc" Well i DO own a previous version. before it would ask for each id as necessary please help...

    You can update it, however, you must login to the original Apple ID it was purchased with.
    There is no way to merge these IDs, so in order to update you must do the following:
    1. Sign into apple ID #1, download or update those apps
    2. Sign out of Apple ID #1 and into Apple ID #2. Download/Update those apps
    3. Sign out of Apple ID #2 and into Apple ID #3, Download/Update those apps
    I would suggest that you download all of the free apps from each of the apple IDs onto ONE Apple ID.
    For example:
    You have angry birds free on ID #2, but want to use ID #1 as your main ID. Sign into ID #1, delete angry birds and redownload it using ID #1
    This may help you from signing in and out quite so often.
    Good luck.

  • I am wanting to exactly match two ID numbers from two differing worksheets within one work book. Once matched I am wanting to retrieve a row value from the second worksheet into the first. Any help much appreciated.

    I am wanting to exactly match two ID numbers from two worksheets within the one work book. ID numbers are non linear. Once exactly matched I wish to retrieve a corresponding row value from worksheet two and have it appear in worksheet one against the correct ID number. I have been looking at IF, VLOOKUP, and MATCH functions and suspect that what I want to do requires a combination of two or more. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    regards Vaughanh

    Vaughan,
    Data A:D is all cells start at column A thru column D.
    There is built-in help using the menu item "View > Show Function Browser"  in the search field (top right) you can enter vlookup and you will see the detailed description.
    From this we see:
    VLOOKUP
    (search-for, columns-range, return-column, close-match)
    search-for:  The value to find. search-value can contain any value type.
    columns-range:  A range of cells. range is a reference to a single range of cells, which may contain values of any type.
    return-column:  A number that specifies the relative column number of the cell from which to return the value. return-column is a number value. The leftmost column in the range is column 1.
    close-match:  An optional value that determines whether an exact match is required.
    close match (TRUE, 1, or omitted):  If there’s no exact match, select the column with the largest top-row value that is less than the search value. Wildcards can’t be used in search-for.
    exact match (FALSE or 0):  If there’s no exact match, return an error. Wildcards can be used in search-for.
    So... the 2,0 means return the value form the same row as the lookup value but from the 2nd column of the range.  3, 0 means from the 3rd column.  the ", 0" means exact match

  • AirPort Express doesn't connect to router via WLAN anymore

    Hello
    A few days ago I've bought an *AirPort Express (802.11n)*
    When I wanted to test it for the first time, I set it up to *connect to an Existing Wireless Network* and it worked, I could for example stream music from iTunes or print something.
    The main reason I bought the APExpress was to extend the range of my wireless signal area, and since my router's got WDS ability I set the *AirPort as a part of the WDS Network* and logically I connected it via Ethernet to the router, and again everything worked.
    Now my problem is:
    yesterday I wanted to use the APExpress to stream some music to the kitchen,
    so I chose the profile in which it was set to connect to an Existing Wireless Network, like I already described above.
    But now it doesn't work; the APExpress doesn't connect to the router via WLAN, though there's the green light which's supposed to mean that everything's fine but it doesn't show up in the AirPort Setup Assistant.
    As soon as I connect it via Ethernet to router it shows up and you can start streaming music or whatever, but without Ethernet it doesn't connect to the router anymore.
    And that's weird, cause for the first time I used the device it worked, but now it doesn't!
    Now I would be very thankful if somebody could help me to solve this problem.
    Cheers
    Yasser

    I've tried a bunch of 10.1.10.x's and none of them seem to work. The computer that does work has gotten the IP automatically, though.
    I've been doing some reading, and it seems as though OS X self-assigns a 169.254.x.x IP address whenever it tries to get an IP from DHCP and fails. Aside from turning off both the router and the modem for about 15 minutes, is there any other way to make the router give me an IP address? And why does one of the computers work? Do you think that if we tried to renew the DHCP lease on that computer, it wouldn't be able to get one?
    I'm not sure what the router is set to give out. How would I check that?

  • Hi there, can anyone give me a link to download bootcamp? I want to use my apple keyboard with my windows7 machine. I'm surprised at just how difficult it is to find this!! Any help much appreciated!

    Would really appreciate some help on this one. I've had a good search around... it's not clear to me where to get the 64 bit version of the driver install files.

    Thanks for your reply CSound1.
    I was using Windows7 so didn't have the stuff you mentioned. However I actually found that the keyboard pairs anyway.. apart from a couple of mappings (which I can live with) it all worked just like using any other wireless keyboard! Not sure why I thought I needed to over complicate things!
    Just need to go into device manager -> Add New -> Press Keyboard power button to get ready to pair -> Select -> Enter Passcode -> Bob's your uncle!
    Thanks for the help though!
