Same computer 2 different locations and routers, same ip address problem

Hi I have looked through the forums and have tried many of the different suggestions. My daughter has an imac g5. went to her house to get it hooked up wirelessly to her router, spent two days trying and never could get it to connect to the internet, though it did show a good signal. macbook connected fine in the house and a laptop Pc also connected automatically. Finally just moved computer closer and connected by ethernet. Daughter is home now with imac g5 and a different wireless router that currently has two computers connected to it working fine. Well her computer again will not connect to the internet. It will at times very briefly, and from wHat i have seen starts out with a good ip address and then loses it and gets a self assigned 169. address.
Not sure why it cannot keep the right address, like the other computers can. I updated to 10.5.6 when i was connected by ethernet and then I was able to connect for about 20 minutes. came back to computer an hour later and I was not able to.
Any body have any insight into this?

well that occurred to me buy why would the router work with all the other devices in the house and including people that come in with iphones and such. and so both routers at both locations needed updating. I will give that a try. I see alot of posts about this issue and many different suggestions but not many fixes. thanks.

Can I use two apple TVs in different locations in the same house?

Can I use two apple TVs in different locations in the same house?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use 2 or more Apple Tv's in different locations in the same house. You can even use them at the same time and watch the same content on each or choose different content.

I have 3 PC's. Two of them I use at 2 different locations and only use them 6 months a year. So, if I have Icloud for my calendar, and turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all the old information on that computer to go Icloud?

When I turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all of the old information from that computer end up in Icloud? Does Icloud push all the new calendar and contact items over the old items?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

HT1473 If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?

Other details:
First album/s- Dookie (Green Day), american idiot (green day)
and 21st century breakdown (green day)
Album with same songs in it- international super hits (green day)

If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?
Yes.
The album which the song has been listed under (on the song's page) is listed in your library under that album. The song is then removed automatically from the first album
No it's not.
Purchasing a new song or album will not affect any other song or album in your library.
In the case of the two albums you mention, if you purchase them both, you will have the same song (different copies) in both albums.

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
Select the folder Music > iTunes in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

Can 2 people in different locations at the same time import, access, send, and receive the same messages from the same email account

I import messages into Thunderbird. I send and receive emails. One of the things I like about Thunderbird is that I can insert (image, link, etc) right where I want to, and I can Attach. But not just a simple attach file. No, I can also click Attach and choose Webpage. A lot of web-based emails are plain, simple, no frills - Attach file and that's it.
So I need to have my client be able to do the same thing I do when sending out emails, Namely sending out emails with an Electronic Press Kit (EPK) attached - which is to say, a webpage (not a pdf in our case). So, I need her to download, install, and use Thunderbird.
Here's the problem and my question. She needs to access, send, and receive from my email account. That would be easy if it was simple attach files - she could just login on the web, go to squirrel mail and bang it out.. Here it is: She needs to be able to import the messages to be able to reply to some messages - she needs access to what I have access to. She needs to use Thunderbird so she can take advantage of the features like insert image with link or attaching a webpage. My question is how will this affect my use? Can 2 people simultaneously and from different locations access and use the same email account or is it a case where her importing the emails would cut me off..Is it an either or thing? Basically, can her and I both import the emails or can they only be imported to one location at a time. Because every time someone sends me an email i get it right there on my Thunderbird application..it's imported to my Thunderbird..I want her and I to be able to do that without affecting each other. I don't want her to start importing to her desktop and then I can no longer import. If she says "point those messages to my computer what will happen to my ability to access them on my computer in the same manner I am currently?

I think there is a contradiction in your requirements. You want two people to share an account and you don't want either to interfere with the other.
The short and simple answer is to use IMAP to connect to the mail server. If your current email provider doesn't offer IMAP, find another that does. This is old technology already and it's disgraceful that some email providers haven't yet put it in place.
IMAP means that your messages are stored on the server and both of you will see exactly the same set of messages. And therein lies the contradiction; you will both see changes made by the other so you are inherently interfering with one another.
Caveats: some providers may not permit you both to access the account concurrently, and even if they do, things may become interesting if you both choose to work on the same message simultaneously.
Note that all of this is about email servers and protocols; your choice of Thunderbird as your email client has little bearing on the situation.

Can I share iTunes purchases on same computer, different apple ID?

If I purchase an album from iTunes, can I share it with my daughter, who lives at home and uses the same computer, but has a different apple ID and separate user account in Windows 7? Our computer would presumably be authorized already by each of us. Thank you.

Sharing music on same computer, different accounts

I am the administrator of my computer, and would like to share my music files with my kids (and vise versa), who log in under different account names on same computer. How do I create a "common" set of music files that all of us can access under different accounts?

I have never done this, but what I would recommend is...
Get your kids to Duplicate their iTunes folder in their own account, and append their name to the duplicate, before moving (not copying, or you may soon run out of space) this to the Shared folder.
Then follow the advice above, except for the bit about not trashing the kids folders, as they will still have their main iTunes folders in their own accounts. After you've found that everything works ok, you can then ask your kids to clear out their own iTunes libraries to free up space.
Two things before starting:
- check there is enough space on your hard drive
- BACK UP all the iTunes folders to an external hard drive, or to DVDs

Copying songs on same computer - different accounts

My son and daughter each received an iPod for Christmas. They are managing their own iTunes library under their own login on the same iMac that I use. There are a couple songs in my library that they would like to sync to their iPods. I know I can share my library and they can play these songs in iTunes, but they want them on their iPods. Can I copy these songs into their libraries? These are protected songs I purchased from iTunes. I am not sure whether the license for a song is per computer or per user. I know I cannot copy a song to another computer without authorizing that computer with my Apple ID. What about copying a song on the same computer into another user account? Will that affect my licensing at all? Is there a better way to do this for just a few songs? What if they purchase a song they wish to share?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Itunes on same computer in windows and mac

Is there an easy way to transfer my iTUnes Library on my Macbook Pro to my iTunes Library on my Windows Partition on the same computer without sharing? i don't want to have my library stored "twice" taking up space, but want to be able t listen to my music when I have to work in Windows.

NTFS is a Microsoft file system. How would Apple "fix" access to NTFS? If you must share data between OSx and Windows, use a drive formatted exFat.

While in Hotmail, Firefox crashed & now I can't open or delete messages, however, on the same computer-different account- my Hotmail works fine.

While a request to print a sent email was being executed (successfully), my attention was diverted away from the computer screen. When I returned, the Firefox "crash" notice was on the screen, but everything appeared fine so I didn't file a report. I exited Hotmail and later signed in and found out I can not open or delete any messages. I exited Hotmail, switched computer user accounts and opened my Hotmail under the computer's administrative account. Under the adm. account my Hotmail works without a problem. Switched back to my computer user account, signed in to Hotmail and the original problem still exists. What can I do to get Hotmail to work in my computer user account?

Nokia N95 GPS showing different locations and inac...

First of all, I did all of the following while I am standing stationary under the sky. Okay, so I first went to tools-conect.-landmarks. There i made a new landmark using my current location. Then I went to Nokia Maps but the 'My Position' location(the red dot) and the landmark I made previously was not the same place(it was maybe around 30-40m apart). The thing is every time I made a new land mark with the Landmark option, it gives the same location and every time i open Maps, I gives me the other same location. Why??
Another thing is while driving using Maps, it seems that in the map I appear to be driving off the road. The satellite shows three-quarter full. Why is it still inaccurate?
Please help! I have never had any experience with GPS!

I finally solved mine! Turns out I was using the phone in offline mode. The problem just disappears when I went online, It was like the Maps software needed to synchronize itself by using the network connection. The 'Maps' is much more accurate now. It seems the coordinate using the 'Landmarks' was correct but the 'Maps' was a bit off

Why do some websites only show the headings and not the rest of the page? I was on the same website at a different location and it had discriptions for the words.

When in ma-vitalrecords.org, I put in the county and town and then went to the names. It pulls up the last name, but the rest of the information does not show, such as the child's name, date of birth, and parents. When I am at the library or other's homes, this information shows. This is not the only website that this does this. Sometimes if I hover the arrow over where the words should be, I can see the information down in the status bar. On the above website it did not.

Hi,
I have the same experience. I've been narrowing down causes, but it's NOT because you're not connected to Wifi. It seems to be intermittent. For expample, I'm connected to WIFI right now. Some messages or pix that were viewable yesterday are not viewable now and others aren't. All of the messages and their attachments are available from my laptop. If I try again later, I'll be able to see different downloads than what I can see now. What's odd is all of them worked just right a few weeks ago
