Incorrect IP displayed, but can connect to the Internet. How can I find out what's causing this?
I'm running 10.6.8, and various programs and websites that report my IP address are not displaying the correct one. I'm operating with a static IP, and I know my AirPort's IP, and the one displayed is neither of those (and in fact cannot be given out by my airport).
I can still connect to the Internet, but some services which require people to connect to my IP fail because the program on my end is hosting at the wrong IP.
Is there any way to find out where this rogue IP came from and eliminate it?
Of note, my AirPort is my only active network protocol (all others are disabled), and about 10% of the time, a restart manages to fix the problem until the next time I boot up my computer, without me changing any other settings.
When you use the Internet, you need to have a registered IP address. This is provided by your ISP, and you have assigned it to your Router.
You then get a "private" IP Address from your Router via DHCP which, by definition, is not visible or reachable on the Internet, in one of these ranges:
192.168.xxx.yyy
172.xxx.yyy.zzz
10.xxx.yyy.zzz
Your Router acts as your agent on the Internet, and bad guys cannot send you... anything you do not have your Router ask for, as you are invisible.

I have recently got a new replacement iPhone 4. Since I got this I have found that my data allowance is getting used up during the night while my phone is charging on the bedside table. How an I find out what is causing this and stop it happening? Some nights the usage is 150 meg!
You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device? -
My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly. -

TKTap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

On my ipod touch It shows i am connected wifi and have put in the correct password yet it says i am not connected to the internet.When i try to go on my appd or itunes it is stuck on loading. And so I reset it in my settings now all my apps are blank but when i click on them they are there but i have to sign in to itunes.

How can I find out what is causing this error in SQL Developer Data Modeler
Friends,
I am trying to import entities into into SQL Developer Data Modeler from Oracle Designer 10.1.2.3.
In case of need I perform these steps to perform the import:
File --> Import --> Oracle Designer Model --> Select database connection --> Select work area --> select application system --> select one entity --> Click finish --> Import starts
During the import process I see an alert dialog box with the message:
There are errors in import - check Log file Clicking Ok dismisses the alert box and I see the following summary screen:
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Version: 2.0.0 Build: 584
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Import Log
Date and Time: 2010-08-09 14:27:26
Design Name: erdtest
RDBMS: Oracle Database 10g
All Statements: 32

Not Recognized Statements: 0The Entity is then displayed in the Logical View within SQL Developer Data Modeler.
Upon checking the log file I see the following entry:

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.No this helps a lot. It's not strange. Firstly, in a versioned repository you should see Private Workareas and Shared workareas, so your workarea may be in either of these. It won't be in the Global Shared Workarea, as this only for non-versioned repositories. (I like to open the RON by selecting the full Repository, that way I can see the private and shared worlareas and the configuration and containers all in the same tree.
Now your workarea is defined by a set of rules, so when you expand the workarea in the RON, and select the object, then that's the workarea and object you'll see in the import dialog in the Data Modeler. So if you check it out and check it back in, and can't see it in the RON, then the rule is not seeing this object. (Did you refresh the workarea in the RON?) If you can't see it in the RON, you can't see it in the Data Modeler. If you're working in a versioned repository, you need to work in the specific work area, i.e V27 and this is what you need to select in the Data Modeler.
It looks like you are selecting the wrong workarea in the Data Modeler.

My ipod was sent into reset mode when it was pluged into my bf's computer. I pluged it into my computer where itunes is and itunes said I had to reset it, so I did and now I'm trying to restore it from a back up in itunes. Which I didn't know exsisted and didn't set up but it's locked with a password and I have no idea what the password is. Is there a way for me to find out?
- If the backup has a password (called encrypted backup) then you either have to remember password or correctly guess the passcode or set up the iPod as new.
- A fw other users have reported the same problem. Tyr using other passwords like your Apple ID PW: -
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

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?
Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner. -
I have Windows XP / bootcamp and can connect to the internet via Wi Fi (Apple Express) but when I try to open Int. Explorer I get a message "cannot connect" yet my computer is connected with a strong signal. I checked to make sure IE is not off line. Any suggestions please?

I can't send/receive any message/call but I can connect to the internet. What's wrong?
I can't send/receive any message/call but I can connect to the internet. What's wrong?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
