There is another divice using this IP address (prompt on the screen)

I get this message every now and then in my scream what dose it mean and how do I fix it

I get this message every now and then in my scream
There's no need to scream.
Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.

How to send a app to another device using icloud

I want to send my imovies to my another device using icloud.....i downloaded imovies with my bros account and now i have different app store account. So can i still send my app to my another device with my new apple account.

You cannot "send" an app via iCloud, the purchase is saved but only accesible to the same AppleID...app purchases are tied to a specific AppleID. If you want one purchased under your brother's ID you must purchase under your ID.

There is another person using my company name.

We have a very distinct and unique name yet there is another person using that esact comapny name as a personal contact. How do I get this person to stop using my company name? Isnt this a form of identity theft? How do I proceed to take legal action in this case?

Hi, PhoenixSymphony, and welcome to the Community,
In the USA, if your company name is trademarked or copyrighted, there are legal remedies which you should discuss with an attorney. As far as identity theft is concerned, seek counsel with your local law enforcement agency. Hopefully you reside in a jurisdiction where cybercrime is taken seriously.
If you wish to contact Skype Customer Service as well, please be neither alarmed nor surprised if you are asked to verify the company name is indeed "yours." You may be requested to provide documentation, the process of which is explained in this FAQ article:

Another device using IP address

Today, out of the blue, I got a dialogue box telling me "Another device on the network is using your computers IP address (71.142.xx.xxx) Try connecting again later." I'm using an Airport Express 802.11n and it's been working fine since I got it. It tells me I need to change the IP address of my computer. I've tried everything I know how to do, and would like to just delete everything and start from scratch, but can't figure out how to do it.
Any help greatly appreciated.
(I have 3 computers on this network. I've shut them all down except this one which is now connected via ethernet.)

OK, I fixed it, and thought I'd say what I did in case anyone else is having the same problem. I found that you reset the Airport Express by unplugging it and pushing a small button on the side with an unfolded paper clip, while plugging it back in while you hold the button in until the light on the AE flashes yellow. From that point on it's just a matter of setting up a brand new wireless network from scratch. I'm up and running again.

Networking query - 'Another device using network'

Hi,
I keep getting a randomly timed message that another device is using my network even when there are none of my other network devices turned on. Setup is WPA2 Personal network and it is passworded.
Whatever it is seems to pick up IP addresses that I've previously listed as servers in Finder/Go/Connect. These were set up to facilitate file transfers to iPhone but I've made sure that the iPhones were turned off and I still get the message. I've tried clearing these server addresses out of Finder but they reappear on the list when I refresh the menu option: Finder/Go/Connect To Server.
Does this mean that someone is hacking my network and potentially using my internet?
Thanks,
Matthew

No other devices of mine use my wireless connection. I have long suspected someone of stealing my wireless service in order to cop my router's IP address. Could this message be indicative of someone outside my building using my wireless service?
Possibly. Do you secure your wireless network with WPA2 and use a strong password? Do you change this password periodically? If you can say "yes" to both, the chances of someone connecting to your network is extremely unlikely.
The other reason, you may be getting this warning is that the DHCP services, either on the server (router) or the wireless clients themselves are not configured properly. DHCP is used on the local network to assign Private IP addresses to network clients. These addresses, by default, are dynamic and will change on a set time period. If a network client is not configured properly it can "refuse" to accept a new address and can potentially have the same address that the DHCP server hands out to another device ... and thus, the warning message.

How do I resolve devices using same ip address?

I keep getting the message another device on the network is using your computer IP address. I'm trying to connect my airport time capule and I'm using a MacBook Pro. I've shut down and restarted and checked everything already discussed in posts. Any suggesstion?

Sorry, pennyfrommi, it comes form French. What I mean is that router normally release a DHCP DNS to the pc into a determined range (which you can change in his settings). Let's say for hypothesys your router is set to release DHCP DNS from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.254 (.0.255 fiinal maybe used by the router such as .0.1 final) and you have set your PC into a manual connection but with a DNS that's into that range. This may cause problems. To be clear: you must set a DNS within 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.99.
Hope I've been clear this time.
Here for more help.

Another device using network message

I routinely have a pop up window that informs me:
"Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address.
Try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems, change the IP address of this computer or the IP address of the other device. Contact the network administrator if you need more information."

Another computer using same IP address?

I have an Air running 10.8.3. The Internet is spotty and I get this message saying:
"Another device on the network is using your computers IP Address.
If you continue to have problems, change the IP Address of this computer or the IP address of the other device"
Not sure how to fix it without just resetting the router every time.

I cannnot eject my iPod classic in Windows 7 because it says there is another program using it

I am unable to eject my iPod classic unless I go to the My Computer in Windows Explorer and hitting eject. I cannot eject it through iTunes. Is there a way to find what program is using it and stop it so that I can eject it through iTunes again?

Also I'd suggest checking to see "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage music and videos" options enabled on the device's summary screen under options because you have to manually eject the ipod before disconnecting the interface cable if either option is enabled. If so, try turning off whichever one is enabled and click apply in the lower right corner. The ipod will re-sync on its own and if that's what the issue was, should auto-disconnect when the sync completes.

Is there a way to use Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar with a Microsoft Exchange Server that requires a client certificate ?

I have an Exchange server configured to require a client certificate. Is there a way to configure a certificate for Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar ? There seems to be no option in the account settings to do that (in contrast to for example the IMAP settings).
Any help highly appreciated !

I don't know. Try downloading the certificate and installing it in your keychain. See what happens.

HT5293 what does it mean if this pops up when getting on a network. it read, unable to join due to another device is using this ip address.

what does it mean when the message , "can not join network due to another device using this ip address?"

Most likely, you're getting a network address from your router. The address assignment ("lease") expires, and has to be renewed, after a certain amount of time, which might be one hour or one day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device was offline at the time. Meanwhile, the address was leased to another device on the network. When the first device comes back online, it still has the address that's now also leased to the second device. Depending on what kind of router you have, the conflict may resolve itself automatically. If not, then from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the TCP/IP tab. Now look at the menu labeled Configure IPv4. If the selection in that menu is Using DHCP, click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. Test.
Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself, and another device is assigning itself the same address. In that case, the selection in the Configure IPv4 menu will be either Manually or Using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict won't be resolved automatically. You have the following options to resolve it:
Change the menu selection to Using DHCP.
Change the manually-assigned address to one that isn't being used by another device.
Change the address of the other device.
Which of these options you should choose depends on the details of why you're using a static IP address. Any change you make to the network settings must be applied before it takes effect. To do that, click OK and then Apply.

Another device on network is using your computer

I have been getting this message since installing Yosemite. All I have done to correct is reset my Airport extreme. We have 2 iPhones, an iPad, and aMacBook Pro. I presume I have to change the IP address on my Desktop computer (iMac). I haven 't a clue how to do or what to change the address to.
Thanks for any help you can lend.

Happy to help.
I too am puzzled that both Apple and AT&T were apparently unaware that you had a modem, not a gateway.
If you had a gateway (which is a combination modem/router on one chassis with 3-4 ethernet ports), and you were configuring your AirPort Extreme to work with that device, then in that case, the correct setting would have been "bridge mode".
+Are there any downsides to sharing a public IP address?+
This is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme when it is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port). Since your modem only delivers one IP address, you must have the AirPort Extreme configured to "share that IP address" in order to have the device furnish separate IP addresses to each of your devices on the network.
With the AirPort Extreme in bridge mode, it was passing through the single IP address from the modem and only one device on your network was receiving that IP address. That's why you saw conflicts about another device using the same address.
Sounds like you are all set. This should work very well for you.

Chat logs pop out in another device/computer

Hello,
Everytime i log in to another computer or mobile device, all the previous chats will pops out when the user comes online. I've already disabled the history and cleared the chat logs but problem still persist.
I was thinking the logs were stored in the skype server. Is there a way to disable/remove the logs from popping out in the future?
Thank you!
