My MacBook isn't connecting to the Internet. When I try to connect, it shows the signal strength in the top right corner as if it was connected, but the Internet doesn't work. When I go to my network preferences, it says the ip is self-assigned.

My MacBook won't connect to the Internet, but it's connected to my router. When I go to network preferences, it says that it has a self assigned ip address, and can't connect to the Internet. How can I fix this? Please help!

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.

  • The log in button to the Edmonton Public Library is on the top right corner of their web page. But I can not activate it. If I use Internet Explore I do not have this problem.

    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • Hey Guys. I have a 1st gen dual 2.3 powerPC G5. I just recently upgraded my OS to Leopard 10.5. I cannot for the life of me, get FlashPlayer to work. I Downloaded and installed the archived 10_1r102_64 version, but it still doesn't work. Help?

    Hey Guys. I have a 1st gen dual 2.3 powerPC G5. I just recently upgraded my OS to Leopard 10.5. I cannot for the life of me, get FlashPlayer to work. I Downloaded and installed the archived 10_1r102_64 version, but it still doesn't work.
    Everytime I click on a video it says I need to update to the newest version of flash, but my computer doesn't support the updated version. So I feel like I'm in a Catch-22. 
    Any suggestions?

    Jay, you may very well be up a creek without a paddle.
    See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

    If it in fact says you do have 10.1.102.64, & some sites say you need higher, it is a catch 22.

    Hi, this has worked for a few...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    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.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Also, turn off IPv6:
    System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
    Or whatever Interface you use.

  • "Airport is connected to the network... AirPort has a self-assigned IP addr

    Hi,
    The subject of this posting is part of the message I am getting:
    "AirPort is connected to the network... AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet."
    And with the message I get a yellow dot.
    Now, I've tried using "Assist me" several times, tried TCP/IP manual configuration, Using DHCP with manual address, just DHCP, and BootP (this one oddly enough worked for the first time, but now it is no longer working). I also tried to connect using the DNS server as the 192.168.0.1 (the one for the D-Link), but no dice.
    I have a D-Link DI-624 router connected to my Power PC G4; the internet works fine in the G4 and (gasp) in my kids (2) PCs!!! So, it is not the router, nor the connection with the internet.
    Here is the odd thing: before I upgraded to Tiger the internet connection in my PBG4 via AirPort (same everything, except for the growling Tiger), was GREAT, no problems, no interference, no dropping connections.
    So, I thought it was the PBG4 personality getting too picky. I reboot the thing, erase all the memory and started fresh (that is when the BootP worked). Turned off and went to sleep; the next day the problem has returned like a ghost from the horrifying past....
    And by the way, the AirPort works beautifully at my university wireless network.
    Please, any good soul out there, help me out on this puzzle.
    Thanks.
    Ariane.
    class=otherinfo>Power Mac G4, PowerBook G4, D-Link DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G Wireless Router   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    These might work. I have a D-Link 524 router which I got from a client as payment for work on his computers. The thing is abysmal. I spent two days tinkering with it. I found the issues many have here with the D-Link routers and a Mac. Specifically a PowerBook G4 that I have connected through Airport to the D-Link. At first when I connected my DSL to the router, it gave me a good, fast signal to my wired PCs. Then It started giving me problems with dropping the signal on the wired PCs and the router started to reboot every few minutes when I connected my PowerBook. To make a long story short, I tried a lot of settings, but I found that if I changed the setting in the TX speed of the performance menu under the Advanced tab to 11(Mbps), my PowerBook works fine and there are no conflicts. This took me two days, people, and I know a thing or two about these metal, wire and plastic thingies. I hope this helps someone... I guess you can also set the speed to 54g or just opt to keep it in G if that's what you have. It seems to me that the D-Link routers have some faulty or "screwed up" chip technology that doesn't play well with others in mixed mode.

  • My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

    My iMessage stopped working when I did the latest update on my phone. I have literally tried everything to reset it. I am currently not in the US, but my iMessage has always worked when I was in wifi and my phone is still activated. I have tried to reset my network settings, my location, and even the reset all settings. When I click on my settings and iMessage it says that it is still waiting for activation... and my phone number is grayed out. I am able to recieve an iMessage to my email and that could work for right now but i'm not sure how to start a conversation the defaults to being sent from my email and not my cell phone number. please help!

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

    1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
    2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
    3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).
    4. What year is the Retina MBP?

  • My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?
