  • "ethernet has a self assigned IP address and will not connect to the internet" - how do i fix this?

    A message saying "ethernet has a self assigned IP address and will not connect to the internet" comes up whenever I plug the cable in. Everyone's computers work except for mine work in the house and I have tried different cords and connecting sites.
    Please help

    Open System Preferences/Network
    Select the Location you use at home
    You may need to click the Padlock bottom left at this point if it's locked, enter the admin password to unlock
    In the left hand column drag the Ethernet connection to the top of the list and remove any you don't use
    Click the Advanced button bottom right
    Click the TCP/IP Tab
    Set Configure IPv4 to Using DHCP
    Click OK bottom right and you should see the Router IP number appear and a unique but similar one for your Mac
    Click Ok then click Apply and close the Panel

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

    Itunes will not recognize my ipod. How do I fix this?

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • My new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    my new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
    If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
    Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
    How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
    How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
    How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
    What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
    Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
    For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

  • HT5654 itunes will not restore my iPad 2, how can I fix this

    I cannot restore my iPad 2 on itunes. How can I fix this problem?

    Instead of responding to an 8 month old thread that is unrelated to your issue and was a waste of everyone's time to begin with, restore your device as new.
    This is covered in the User's Guide which can be found in Safari on the device or by selecting Support at the top of these forums, then the device in question and Manuals.

  • TS4083 Icloud email is not connecting to the server - how do I fix this

    My iphone 5 will not connect to icloud and download new emails, how do I fix this?

    It has been working for many years on a series of iPhones, and for several months on the iphone5.   The same account is working perfectly on my ipad.  On the iPhone it has reverted back to 26/4 last update and it has been working at dates later than that.  It now try's to connect for some time and then gives me an error saying it couldn't connect to the server.
    I have now set up another icloud account as a secondary and it is working fine.
    I have also re-entered my password and it verified correctly, but still did not update the emails.  I have turned off email on the account on the phone, rebooted the phone, turned it on and it still doesn't connect.
    So I'm stuck.

  • I go to my settings and i change something and then i hit the home button and it wont let me go home. So i then try to turn my screen of and turn it back on to see if that will help. It will not shut off either. How do i fix this problem?

    I have a problem! I go to my settings to change something and then i hit the home button to go home and it will not let me. So I hit the button on the top to turn it off to see if i can make it anybetter. My screen will not turn off! I tried to shut it off and it wont let me do that either. So now i am stuck in my iPod settings until my iPod dies. How do i fix this problem?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • New Computer-  XP to windows 7 and I transfered my music with an external hard drive and will not locate the music.  How do I fix this?

    I just copied all my itunes mucis folders onto my external hard drive and copied them over to my new windows 7 computer and I itune cannot "locate" the music.  How do I fix this?

    I suspect your library has been transformed from the old layout into the new one. See make a split library portable for details. The empty but for artwork folders you're seeing are likely to contain orphaned artwork and .ini files generated at some point by Windows Media Player. iTunes doesn't move these when it shuffles things around. Once you've made sure you can move the artist folders sideways or down into another folder, make sure nothing else has been affected, then remove.
