Similar Wi Fi woes but a little different.

I don't have a physical router (I'm using the built in Airport on my iMac) but can't connect to anything over my iPhone G3's (or my first gen iPhone) Wi Fi. I have Airport turned on on my iMac and it says it's connected to Apple Network ##### and has the IP of 10.0.1.2.
My iPhone(s) join the network no problems and have similar IP's (different by 1 number). I've tried reseting the Network settings, renewing DHCP leases, typing new IP addresses etc. just about everything I can find on this discussion board (BTW, where did the search function go?) but nothing works. It seems like a lot of folks are having difficulty connecting via Wi Fi and maybe this is an Apple problem?
When I reset the network settings or "forget this network" the IP number changes to one that starts with a 169.XXX number but within a few minutes will change to the 10.0.1.X number.
Anyway, I thought I'd post here because it seems like most people experiencing Wi Fi issues are connecting through a router. No me, just my iMac. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

More info in the vain hope that someone can help. I bought and installed FileMagnet (an app that allows you to put and store files of different types on your iPhone) and it uses Wi Fi to transfer files. I turned Wi Fi back on and FileMagnet worked flawlessly. I then tried to access the iTunes store but I get the same message as before. I also installed Apple's Remote and that won't work either. When I try it says Connecting to Library but then states that it Could Not Find Library.

  • Same old question, but a little different I think

    I see that there are many, many questions about how to manage multiple computers and iPhones.  To be honest, the answers leave me a little confused, as I have tried a couple of the suggestions and nothing has helped my specific situation.  So I apologize if I'm being repetitive but please bear with me.
    Until recently we had one desktop with one version of iTunes that had everyone's songs on it (we're a family of 4).  In the last few months everyone has gotten iPhones, and my daughter just got a laptop, and this is where the confusion begins.  Everyone used the main iTunes account to sync up with their devices, then we started creating new accounts and nobody can get what they need anymore.
    It looks like currently all music and apps are on my wife's iTunes account.  The rest of us have some smaller subsets based on what we were authorized to load back onto iTunes (desktop) after loading stuff from my wife's iTunes account.  I think ideally what I would like to be able to do is have four separate iTunes accounts - each accessible from our individual desktop accounts (and my daughter's also from her laptop).  I'd like to be able to take all the songs and apps from the main account & dole them out to who they belong to, then have each of our devices linked to our own iTunes account.  So everything separate, BUT then I'd like to have the ability to share songs or apps between our accounts through directories when we want to.
    Does any of this make sense?  I don't know if our needs are realistic in general, if I need to back everything up and start from scratch, or how I do any of this.  I feel kind of dense that I can't figure this out.  Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Powerbook TV question as well but a little different!?!?!

    i know how to use my TV as another display but i mean its not like i cant display my XBOX and my powerbook at the same time. so i guess i need some sort of input to my PB but yeah any suggestions are welcome??!?!

    You might be able to use the new Elgato eyeTV Hybrid to do this via a composite/S-Video connection as it supports game consoles.

  • Same but a little different problem with iPod

    I installed my iPod shuffle and everything worked great. Then I tried to recharge it and now I have the same blinking light problem that everyone else has described. My difference is that my iPod is recognized in iTunes, but not recognized by Windows. My computer only shows it as a mass storage devise. When I try to restore the iPod, I get a "Firmware update failure. Disk write error" notice.
    Can someone please give me some direction??
    Thanks.

    Don't be concerned that Windows doesn't recognize your Shuffle. I support two Shuffles with my computer, and when they're plugged-in (one at a time) they only show up under Control Panel/System/Device Manager/Disk Storage/Apple iPod USB Device -- they're not assigned a drive letter. Now, are you trying to charge your Shuffle with iTunes open? If so, try charging with iTunes closed, and the Shuffle turned OFF. The Status light may flash for 30 seconds or so but then it should go steady.

    A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail.  When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name.  I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name.  I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book.  I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag.  Still the problem persists.  Any suggestions?

    Hello CarolineLongEaton,
    I noticed you posted this problem quite a while ago and wondered if you managed to have it fixed in an alternative way then posting here. It is too bad no one has posted a solution here. I have a similar problem and if you have had yours solved since this occurance how you accomplished it may help me with mine. I am interested to know what you have done about yours.
    If you are interested in comparing the problems to see if your solution (if you have found one) might help me also then here is the link to the discussion.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6116927
    If your problem has not been solved then I will comment here again if/when my issue is resolved as it may help you too. My hope here is that we may help each other. To quote you "all ideas gratefuly recieved". I hope your problem was resolved, ernestly for your sake and selfishly for mine also. I wish you and yours a great day!

  • Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

    Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

    There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

    If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.

  • My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

    my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system.

  • Can I run 2 different domains with same name but on 2 different machines?

    I am trying to setup 2 domains with same name (sharedcds1) on 2 different machines (Machine1 and Machine2).
              When I start the weblogic managed server 1 (sharedcds1managedserver1) on Machine2, it throws an error saying it has some conflicts with the managed server 1 running on Machine1.

    Yes you can. Make sure that domains configured to use different multicast address. WLS uses multicast for communications between nodes in domain.
              although your configuration will work, you could have troubles if you going to execute inter-domain calls between domains/servers with the same names.

  • I want to use 1 itunes account but with 3 different iphones 2 for the kids and one for me, what is the easiest way to do that?

    I want to use 1 itunes account but sync 3 different iphones, 2 for the kids and 1 for me.  So I would like to have different programs, songs, apps etc for each phone.  What is the easiest way to do that

    Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

  • Can i use two iphone 4's on my mac usings itunes account but also get different contacts and email accounts...help please

    Hi i two iphones one mine one my wifes.
    We have one mac laptop and one itunes account. is it possible to sync the two iphones on itunes but have two different contacts and email address.
    But i would also like my apps to work on her mobile as i do not want to pay for them twice..

    Yes. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer.
    If both iPhones are synced with the same Address Book under the same computer login account, then the contacts on each iPhone will be the same. With the Address Book on a Mac, you can sync select Address Book Groups only with an iPhone instead of the entire Address Book and all groups. You and/or your wife can create an Address Book Group or multiple Groups to be synced with each other's iPhone only. You can transfer the settings for one email account to one iPhone and the settings for another email account to the other iPhone.

  • How do i sync apps to my iPhone 4S using itunes without losing aps already installed on the phone but with a different apple ID, and i dont have the apple ID??

    how do i sync apps to my iPhone 4S using itunes without losing aps already installed on the phone but with a different apple ID, and i dont have the apple ID??

    How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
    If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.

  • I have one computer and 2 iphones i want to sync music on. but we want different music on the phones. is there a way i can make 2 libraries on 1 itunes?

    i have one computer and 2 iphones i want to sync music on. but we want different music on the phones. is there a way i can make 2 libraries on 1 itunes?

    You can create an alternate library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    But it is easier to create one or more playlists and sync by selected playlists.  You can have some playlists for both phones and others for just one phone.

  • I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

    i set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same apple ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

    Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
    When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
    Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
    One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.
