Macbook Air has the same IP address as another device on my network

I recently connected airport extreme to my network, and now I cannot connect to the Intenet from my MacBook Air. The error message I get is that another device on the network is using the same IP address (192.168.1.64) I also have a mcbook pro, which is working fine, and whose IP address is 108.66.128.91, so I don't know which device has the duplicate IP address.
Furthemore, I can't connect to the new WiFi signal from my iPhone. What do I need to do to fix these errors?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Can you sync ibooks from an iMac to MacBook Air with the same apple id?

Can you sync ibooks from an iMac to a macbook air with the same apple id? Settings set to allow this.

If the ibooks were purchased from Apple, and download new purchases is selected in iBooks preferences, then yes.

HT204088 Someone else has the SAME eMail Address as ME

Today I received an eMail from Apple to MY Apple ID / eMail Address. The Name that the eMail was supposed to be going to however was NOT ME. This has actually happened several times in the past several months, not just to me, but also to my wife. An eMail comes into our eMail Box for me.com, but the person it is directed to is NOT either one of us - but the eMail Addresses ARE ours.
The eMail I received today was for comeone in Arizona (I live in Washington State). It was an eMailed Receipt for something that customer had purchased in that Arizona Apple Store. So since I got his eMail, did he NOT get the Receipt? How can this happen? Are there no quality control checks on eMail Addresses so it's possible for MULTIPLE people to end up with the SAME eMail Address?
Appreciate your Replys and Feedback...

If they could sign in using an email address that isn't verified then all the website owner has is her word that she is receiving their emails. Besides, if there had been a verification email for these sites, you would have seen it too; which suggests that there wasn't.
Once you get the password changed they will not be able to receive any email from the account, even if they do now. That may not be the end of the problem, however, as there would still be nothing to prevent them from continuing to use the address to sign up on websites that don't verify the address. If it persists, you may have to either create a new iCloud account in order to get a new email address, or create an alias address to use within the existing iCloud account and stop using your main address for email. Then you can set up an email rule on icloud.com that sends email from the main addres to the trash where it is deleted 30 days later. This explains how to create an alias address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a. This explains how to set up an email rule: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a. Good luck.

Someone has the same email address as me!

I know this shouldn't be possible but it's happening! I have an apple email address [email protected] and as I understand it that automatically gives me [email protected] too. I don't ever use the icloud domain but I have tested it and if I send an email to [email protected] I receive the email.
A month or so ago I received a load of emails, receipt etc. for a purchase that had been made on a website, registered to the email address [email protected] I presumed someone must have entered the wrong email address and so contacted the website owner and said I'd been sent these emails in error. They contacted the person and came back to me saying that they had said the email address was correct. I asked them to contact them again (they are in Australia, I'm in the UK) and explain what was happening, double check the email address and ask if they had been receiving my emails. The response was that the email address was definitely correct, they didn't use it very often and no, they hadn't been receiving my emails. They couldn't help me any more and so I thought maybe they hadn't realised they'd made an error with the email address. I emailed them on [email protected] but I heard nothing more.
Now the same thing has happened with another website. Whoever is using this email address has subscribed to a website, paid a fee for membership and I received all the emails, a receipt, documents that came with the purchase and also a login username and password. I logged into the site, it worked. Unfortunately there was no area where I could leave a message. Once again I have emailed them on [email protected] I have also searched for the person on Facebook using [email protected] and if I've found the right person they are only a young teenage girl. Again I have emailed them on [email protected] and asked them to contact me on another email address. I have heard nothing so I don't know if they received the email... I received it though!
I don't know how 2 people can be allocated the same email address but what is really worrying me is that if I am receiving emails intended for someone else are they receiving my emails?!!! That would really be a security problem as my email address is registered to lots of websites, my utilities etc.
Can anyone shed any light on how this can happen? I have put a telephone support request into Apple but the earliest was in 2 days.

After syncing firefox from one laptop to another, I repeatedly get the message that the syncted laptop has the same IP address as the original one. Reverse?

One result of both laptops having the same IP address was that the proxy settings of the original laptop were changed and I couldn't get into the internet. After restoring the default proxy settings I again had access to the internet, but both laptops still have the same IP address.

HI Laubacher,
I understand that both computers have the same ip address and it may be preventing the two to sync. Try to rename one of the computers in the Sync menu under Options/Preferences.
#about:preferences#sync
#It's under device name.
#Then try Tools > Sync Now

AIrplay icon does not appear with Apple TV and MacBook Air on the same Wi-Fi

Hi, I've just purchased a Macbook Air and have been trying to get Air Play to function with my Apple TV (1080p HD) on the same Wi-Fi net work (at home).
Althought both systems are up todate in software, share the same network and switched on, there is no Air Play icon availlable to share the screen on the Apple TV.
Has anyone experieinced a similar porblem and know how to initiat a connection?
Thanks,
Kim Johnson

I am now using Air Parrot on a trial basis and it seems to work fine. One flaw that I haven't figured out yet is that it doesn't fill the entire TV screen. I still think Mac should include a simple AP like Air Parrot in its latest OSX system for older Macs (and mine is not that old - 2010).
Do you know why I cannot properly sync my Iphone to my MacBook ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion? Certain events on my MacBook Calendar do not show up on my IPhone after syncing.
I do not use ICloud. I just plug my IPhone in to the MacBook as I've always done. If I made changes/additions to the Iphone in contacts or calendar, they show up on the MacBook. Same thing vice versa. If i make changes/additions to contacts or calendar on the MacBook, they show up on the IPhone. In two words, "they synced!".
This no longer seems to happen. Do you know why?

Does the new (2013) macbook air have the same structure and size as the original?

I just recently purchased the new 2013 13" macbook air and was looking into getting a case. Wanted to know if i need a different case for the 2013 macbook air? Please respond ASAP!!

Actually... if by "original".... you actually mean "original", the answer would be no. The original Air was released in 2008 and has a significantly different format than the second generation:

How do I upgrade my MacBook Air with the same IOS as my iMac without paying twice for it?

Hello! I have a question concerning IOS 7 upgrade for my MacBook Air which I have already on my iMac. Know it must be possible without paying twice for it, but I have forgotten how? Can anyone help?

iOS is the operating system for iPhones, iPads, etc.
Mac OS is the operating system for Mac computers.
Which version of Mac OS are you running on your iMac? (You're not running iOS6 on it.)
If you purchased that OS from the app store, then you can download it to as many computers as you own or control (including your Macbook Air). However, if your iMac came preinstalled with the current OS, then the license is only good for that computer and you must buy it for any other computer.

Can I use the same email address for facetime on 2 different devices (ipod touch and a mini)

can I use the same email address for facetime on 2 different devices (ipod touch and a mini)?
I've set up my daughters ipod touch last year all fine. She's had a mini this yr but when setting up facetime and entering her email address, which is used on the touch, I get an error message saying the address is already being used.
I thought you can use the same email address on multiple devices.

I have four different email addresses setup on my Mac, iPod Touch and my two iPads that I can select from and use as the email address with no problems at all.
Turn off FaceTime, and sign out of the Apple ID in the FaceTime settings, restart the iPad and try again. Turn FaceTime on again, sign in with the Apple ID and then try the email address again.

If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person
