No IP for Airport under OS X 10.6.1

Hi,
I am unable to connect to a french neufbox using my integrated Airport card. While I'm able to connect via ethernet, the Airport Icon always shows an exclamation mark. The authorization passes without problems, but my MacBook doesn't get an IP address. It attributes itself an IP address that won't work:
IP: 169.254.125.1
Submask: 255.255.0.0
The buton "Renew DHCP-Lease" in the configurations menu won't work either. This is the first time I have a problem like this. Normally everything worked flawlessly. I get the impression that this problems has something to do with the update to 10.6.
If anyone could give ma a hint on how to proceed I would be very happy.
I'm not sure which information to give in order to get help, but I will be happy to provide you with all information needed.
The router used is a french neufbox, model NB4-FXC-r2.
There are other Macs that can connect to the router without problems:
iBook G4 running OS X 10.4
white MacBook running OS X 10.5
iMac running OS X 10.5
hoping for help,
best regards,
Hadubard

Ok, I got it figured out. The router used WEP encription. Once I switched to WPA it worked flawlessly.

  • Do I need to buy a base for Airport to work?

    I acquired my grandmother's iMac that she's had for just under a year and I can't seem to figure out the internet connection. My two roommates and I all have Dell PC's/laptops and use Comcast wireless internet. I'm having trouble connecting with the iMac. When I try to use airport it tells me I'm connected to our network but that I either have no IP address (before it said I had one but it may be wrong... don't know what happened). Is my problem that I need to buy a base or something? Or is it something I'm doing with the computer?

    The Airport built-in to the iMac is exactly the same standard as that used in PC's 802.11b/g compatible and possibly 802.11n as well depending on the model. It means that anywhere you use can use a PC for wireless you should be able to use the iMac. It sounds as though your wireless network is protected with a WEP Key or similar encryption method and you have not entered the correct key into the iMac when attempting to join the wireless network or have not selected the appropriate key type from the drop down list. Quite a common situation is that if your password for your wireless network is a hex key, i.e only contains the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F then you need to select WEP Hex Key as the password type when joining the wireless network not WEP Password.

  • Why does there seem to be no category for Airport Express?

    I'd like to solve a problem I'm having with this, but I don't see an appropriate category.

    Hi Whidbey!
    There is a Category for Airport and Time Capsule.
    It is listed on the Discussions Index Page under Digital Life.
    Additionally, are you familiar with the User Tips Library where you can search and receive results like these Airport Extreme User Tips?

  • Computer freezing run assist for airport and isp is failed

    computer freezing run assist for airport and isp is failed. Go thru assist me and then it will reconnect the isp... I reset my 2wire thinking that would help but no.

    Without more information, it's hard to tell what's wrong... Obliviously something has changed in your environment, if it has been working just fine before. Still, I'd do some testing, step by step with psexec (running under system account like the TS engine),
    add some logging on all of the steps and try to solve the problem that way. You really, really should consider using app model with single script (with your own logging) to deploy your application. If you don't know why it has to use AD account for installation,
    I'd contact the vendor and ask, that's just silly way for an installer to work, or have you even tried does it work with system account? You could also use procmon to actually see what's happening under the hood when the installer runs (with the Ad account
    and with SYSTEM account)....

  • My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    That's where I would begin, too, with

    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs. How can I move all my purchased (paid-for) apps under only 1 of my Apple IDs?

    Long ago I bought several, relatively expensive, apps under a old Apple ID.
    I then purchased many more paid-for apps under a new Apple ID.
    I was unaware that the purchased apps are tied to the Apple ID which I happen to be logged in with, at the time of the purchase: I thought they'd be tied to my authorised PC(s).
    Now I'm absolutely sick of having to constantly switch between IDs, even just to CHECK for updates.
    What I want to do is move all the paid-for apps which I bought under the old Apple ID to the new Apple ID. Both ID demonstrably belong to me.
    Having all my apps under 1 only Apple ID would allow me to update them easily, and no longer be FORCED to switch IDs all the time.
    In short I want to use only 1 Apple ID for the future.
    If the Apple Store locks the apps to the Apple ID (as it does) instead than to the authorised PC (as it should do), then it should also PREVENT a user from creating a second Apple ID (at least, from the same iTunes installation on the same PC!), or at the very least display a HUGE warning that any paid-for apps purchased under another, older Apple ID will be unavailable under the new Apple ID! The apple Store, and iTunes, do neither thing,
    Then the Apple Store and iTunes should at the very least allow a user to put all apps under the same Apple ID!
    After all, the Apple Store and iTunes on my PC and iTunes on my Iphone can all "see" that I own TWO legitimate Apple IDs (with purchases and updates): it must be possible to move these apps from one ID to the another ID, at least once! They're MY OWN purchases, paid: can I manage them a bit easier?
    Marco

    No, it seems you don't (want to) understand. I see 2 things very wrong with your explanation.
    1. The move would only need to happen between "accounts" demonstrably and legitimately belonging to the same user. In fact, I'm still using both the old one (for updates only, no new purchases) and the new one (updates and purchases -- actually no morep urchases until Apple solves this). And unless I'm mistaken, I can already have my apps on more than one iDevice at the time: eg. on 1 iPhone and1 iPad. I don't ask for apps to be moved between unrelated accounts: only between accounts belonging to the same "person". And I do not see how changing what is effectively just a "label" embedded in the binary files residing on my hard disk (or in the cloud), which can be verified as legitimately belonging to me thru two ID registered on the same authorised PC could possibly allow anyone to cheat the system. The apps' files have embedded an old label before, and a new label after the operation, both belonging to me, associated to my payment details. That's not rocket science.
    In fact, both my Apple ID were at some point linked to the same credit card. And in fact, I only created a second one because at some point I managed to forget my Hotmail EMAIL password, not my Apple STORE password!
    The two passwords needn't be the same, adding to the confusion. For months I used that account to buy apps, and never checked the email, since I was not interested in marketing from Apple, and I could see the payments from my credit card statements: that's how I forgot my Hotmail EMAIL password for that Hotmail email address.
    Since Microsoft wouldn't allow me to access my Hotmail account anymore (and rightly so, becuase I managed to exhaust all possibilities, and even forgot the security question), and so I could not check my Apple Store emails, I then decided to create a new account, this time with a Live! email address, and this time I used the same password for both the Live! EMAIL and the Apple STORE authentication.
    For more than TWO years I used the old Hotmail Apple ID to get updates, without during all that time being able to read the email or access that Hotmail account: this should tell you how stupid this system is! And for the same time, and until last month (I no longer buy anything), I used the new ID for both NEW purchases and their updates.
    Now after getting both a new iPhone (only because the old one was unfortunately stolen on my holiday) and a new PC, i NO longer want to be forced to use both IDs, which forces me to constantly switch between them, and also carries the risk that I inadvertently purchase something with the old one, to which EMAIL address I no longer have access: so I can't even check invoices. But most of all, I don't want to be inconvenienced like this by Apple.
    Since the Apple ID is such an important concept, forever ID tied to your purchases, it should NOT be an email address, which are disposable by their own nature. When creating it, one is naturally driven to think it'll only be needed to check Apple Store's emails and newsletters and the such. Why should people be forced to FOREVER use an email address, perhaps linked to a job or relationship they had years earlier, to update their purchases?
    The thing is, Apple made the Apple IDs as email addresses simply to ensure that as many people as possible can at any time buy as many apps and songs as possible: just create a new Apple ID: after all, it is (seems) just an email address! and you're done. But they DON'T telly you they'll tie FOREVER your purchases to it. So you're reasonably entitled to think they'll tie them to your payments details, until you discover otherwise the hard way.
    And since most Apple users feel humbled by Apple (the "genial" idea of calling "Genius" the support guys at the stores, wo usually don't have a clue on anyhting less than trivial, is part of this) and fear of feeling "stupid" for getting wrong soemthing with what are supposed to be the most user-friendly company and products, they will simply buy the apps again under the new ID, bringing more profits to Apple. This also can't be casual.
    My apps are available, under both Apple IDs at the same time, to iTunes: be it on my PC on in the iCloud. The same mechanism that physically "embeds" that Apple ID in the app file when I first buy it, can surely be used to change it afterwards. It's just a matter of willing to do so. This content (apps, songs, etc) may be digital (that is, files) rather than traditional (eg. books), but I assure you that the disk blocks taken by the app or song files in the iTunes directory on my PC or in the iCloud are as physical as a book or a mp3 player: they CAN be changed in a perfectly safe and trackable way, without risk of cheating. Ever heard of MAC addresses? Or other unique info that can easily be gathered from the PC's operating system or BIOS? or credit card details, already available?
    2. The policy of inconveniencing (punishing) the huge majority of users (citizens) to prevent a tiny minority from misbehaving can be good for sheep, but not for rational people. It's typical of unimaginative, monopolistic companies (oppressive governments), not of progressive, modern and innovative ones. The cost of protecting their proficts from those who would steal from them is theirs (the company's), not ours (the users'). They should be more creative and inventive, in finding solutions to stop 10 people who would misuse their system, rather than annoying the 10 million who won't. I would never do so (mostly because I thing it's morally wrong, but also because I can't be bothered), but I understand why people invent ways to circumvent this gratuituos, bullish constraints.
    Also, CAN'T you REALLY see the difference between these TWO options:
    - allowing a user to change an app's associated account ONCE IN A LIFETIME, even only ONCE per app
    - FORCING a user to switch Apple IDs EVERY TIME (DAY, OR WEEK) FOREVER, to check and/or update
    ??? Am I talking to a person, or to a robot, or to a undercover Apple employee here?
    Both things are possible. The second is more convenient financially for Apple, that's all.
    But it's also so clearly unfair to their customers. No more, thanks.
    To finish, many if not almost all of the issues in threads like https://discussions.apple.com/message/18954743#18954743 (like husband and wife sharing a PC with two iPhones, or kids' gifts, etc) really boil down to this issue, despite being often complicated by sloppy explanation (when they say "password" , do they mean the Apple ID's or the Email account's?, and so on) and unreasonable requests (like having the same app, only paid once, available under two IDs, even if on the same PC: this is not what I ask, and it's unreasonable) -- and could be solved by the concept of a "master" ID and "secondary" ID: if you read well, the real issue is almost always for everybody having to switch between "old" (or "wife's", "kids'") and new (or "husband's", "dad's") Apple IDs: and this must be done on BOTH the iTunes application on the PC or Mac, and on the devices themselves.

  • Why do I get an error message "can't install software on this version of Mac" for Airport Time Capsule? On Yosemite?

    I Bought a new Airport Time Capsule and need to download the Utility software before I can set it up. When trying to install the software, various versions tried, I get a message that it is not compatible with this version of Mac. I run Yosemite on my Macbook. Which version of Time Capsule Utility should I download and install?

    You don't need to download and install anything.
    You already have the most up to date version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.

  • My iPhone 4 lock button broke, will Apple fix/replace it for free under the one year warranty?

    I've had my iPhone 4 for just under a year now and a couple weeks ago the lock button broke. At first, it was just difficult to press down and now it's just completely stuck. I've been using the assistive touch but it's kind of a hassle. I still have a few days left of my one year warranty, so if I went to the Apple Store would they fix/replace my phone for free or would I have to pay? Also, I was having issues with my speakers previously so I went to get it fixed and they said my phone has water damage and I would need to pay to fix it. Will the water damage effect them fixing my lock button too or is it different? Any advice/guidence is greatly appreciated!

    If there is water damage then they will likely conclude that your issues are a result of that and you will have to pay.
    But don't ask us, ask them. We're users and this have no idea what Apple will say in your case.

  • After downloading firmware for airport utility, airport express base station no longer registers with airport utility on my Mac. Now the base station is blinking amber with no info of what is causing all this to happen. Any suggestions?

    After downloading firmware for airport utility last night, airport express base station was deleted from airport utility and only Time Capsule remains. When I plug in the base station, an amber light blinks without being able to verify the cause. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

    There are only a couple of things you can do to resuscitate a nonresponsive Express:
    "Hard reset":
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    If that does not work,
    "Factory defaults reset":
    Unplug the Express from power.
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the Express back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
    Release the button.
    In either case you will have to reconfigure the Express as a new device. A moment or two after it has been reset, the LED should be blinking slowly. It must then appear in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
    Earlier versions of OS X will report it as "Apple Network nnnnnn".
    In either case, select it, and then launch AirPort Utility.
    If it does no appear in your Wi-Fi menu after it has been reset using one of the two techniques above, it is defective. Other than attempting another reset, there is nothing you can do.

    Hi Vinod,
    I hope that you are following Valuated goods receipt concept.
    Valuated goods receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of goods receipt
    Non valuated good receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of invoice receipt
    If you follow valuated goods receipt concept, then at the time of making down payment, AUC should not be debited (whatever the value date/ capitalization date be). Please refer SAP note number 310368 (valuated goods receipt paragraph) for reference. In that they have clearly mentioned the steps to make down payment against asset under construction Purchase Order without debiting to AUC and without any error message. You have to make F5 378 message number from error message to warning message and in posting key 29 and 39, you have to supress the asset related fields. If you have done the above settings, then system will not show any error message to update G/L account in AO90 transaction code for the Acquisition: down payments and Down payment clearing - 2nd and 4th field or for AUC related fields.
    Hope this helps. Assign points if useful.
    Regards
    Dwarak.

  • Gl a/c for overpayment/under payment

    hi
    what is gl account for overpayment /under payment.
    it is expense or income a/c
    thank u
    shusma

    there is nothing like overpayment/underpayment ledger account.
    If any excess payment  made it should be treated as advance payment and underpayment as payable amount.
    Considering expense/income...This is purely depends on transaction type.

  • Gather all cost for asset under construction

    Hi everybody
    Please tell me the way to gather all cost for asset under construction. You can detail as good as possible.
    Thanks so much
    Ngocpt

    Dear Ngocpt,
    Internal order is functionality from CO. U can use it for the purpose of collating all the cost. U can also do cost planning in internal orders. This helps u to analyse bet planned & actual cost.
    Create IO thru KO01. Once created use it in ur transactions. In your case u can use it in posting any document to AUC.
    Also as I mentioned in my previous post that IO can posted with real values and statis tical values. If you want to post statistical vales only then check the box statis tical order in control data.
    Whenever passing an entry put ur IO number in "order" field.
    Hope this is of use to u.

  • Multi value selection for characteristics under class type 200

    Hello Experts,
    Please suggest
    I am trying to assign a class type 200 to the material master of a component say ABC.
    While selecting the values for chars under classification I need to select more than one value for a characteristics say XYZ(single value).
    Because when the K item will be replaced by L item from my class BOM, I want ABC to be in the BOM expolsion for  ANY of the multiple values I select under classification of ABC.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Santosh Kumar,
    Thanks for providing example, here the problem is , during replacement of class with material number system looks for exact match.
    In classification view you cant put or condition, what ever value we assigned there is consider as AND replationship.
    you can create 3 similar material , and assign them this combination , like for XYZ1 , model is A1, XYZ2 , Model =A2 etc
    or
    For such requirement , the better option is instead of class put material number directly in BOM with item catagory L and assign selection condition with logic select this component if MODEL =  A2 or A3 or B1 and DOR=CW & MOC=CI
    It will work , with class node it will not work.
    Please also check document created by me on class node in below link.
    Classes as place holders [Components in Super BOM]
    Thanks
