What to do if you can't access a wifi network and showing you message that your airport has a self-assigned IP and cannot be connected to the internet?
Hi,
i am currently using 10.6.8 snow leopard
i usually access internet through my broadband modem and wifi at home.
i've been using our home wifi network for almost 1 week now (since it's new) and almost everyone at home use it as well.
and im using my broadband everytime i go out.
this last week, i went to a vacation and i use the wifi connection of the hotel where i stay in.
my connection works fine and so i don't use my broadband anymore.
then i got home..
when i got home.. i tried to connect to our home wifi network again .
like what im doing before, im clicking the airport icon on the top of my desktop,
and since my airport is always on, the next step that im doing is to click the preferred network that i want to join and put the password on it.
this is perfectly working in my macbook before i left.
but now , it's not working to my laptop anymore! i can't connect to it!
after putting the password and hitting the enter, the airport icon at the top will run, however after seconds it showing gray color with exclamation point on it!
the alert is showing : No internet connection
but the network i joined is still checked and showing full signal !
i tried checking my Network under system preferrence and the airport tab in the left corner is showing me a message that
my airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.***.****.** and will not be able to connect to internet!
i don't know what happen and i dont understand why is this happening since everyone at home can still use and access our home wifi !!
it's the same network that i'm trying to connect to anyway!
i tried using my broadband instead to connect online and it works fine!
but everytime i try to connect using wifi at home , again i cant connect!
anyone can tell me what's going on?
i haven't try joining other network anyway! but i'm planning to do so..
can some one help me please??
showing me a message that
my airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.***.****.** and will not be able to connect to internet!
and now, when i tried to check again my network preference below the airport tab is showing a message that
"my airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet!"
then after seconds it will goes back to the first message that
"airport has the self assigned IP address etc....."
i don't know whats going on now!
airport tab is not showing green color anyway! i'ts always in yellow!
i tried turning it on and off but nothing happen! HEEELLLLPP!!!!

Airport has a self assigned IP and can't connect to the internet
Thats what i get when i want to share an internet connection from my mini, macbook and macbook pro.
none of them give an internet signal out to the world, they used to, but i think the last software update changed things.
so, being that i have the same problem with 3 machines i can say for sure its not a hardware problem, tried manually assigning an ip address, changing the network channel to any of the options.
still im giving no internet to any device. Running snow leopard 10.6.5 on c2d intel machines.
please, help me, as im getting heavy complaints from other people who havent got internet access for days thanks to this.
thanks
ps: i have no router. i just have one mac connected via ethernet to the internet, and i want that machine to share internet via airport / wifi to other devices such as a macbook or an ipod touch
this worked wonders for a while, then stopped working, then worked again, then stopped. it seems it comes and goes as macOSX updates come and go.Is your computer which is acting as your gateway for the rest of your network running its firewall and blocking the traffic from the other computers? Can your other computers connect to each other? Ping each other?

I've lost my iPhone5 like 40 hours ago. I already turned the Lost mode on with Find my iphone app. But my phone has no data plan so it could not connect to the internet at all. I reported to the police, too. What else can I do? Can anybody advise?
No...see the link I posted:
If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID. -
My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.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. -

I am unable to use any WIFI network
i cannot connect to my home wifi network I am unable to do any backups. I have backed up my phone onto my Itunes account on my computer and I reset my phone...this did nothing but lose some of my pictures.. PLEASE HELP!I read the article thanks. I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy. I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work. More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected. Dang. Had to select the connection and use my password yet again.
Another valuable bit of info for you. The only network with which I have this problem is my home. I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem. Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever. It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house. -
I am not pleased with the wireless connection in my house, as wireless access points of my neighbors is stronger than my Airport Extreme. It is physically the closest access point for my Ipad, my wife's Ipad and my Macbook Pro. I wanted to check the channel setting by using Airport Utility, and even though there is confirmation of internet access (posting this from my Ipad), it cannot find any Airport base station. Anyone have any idea why? Any help would be appreciated.
Apparently the problem is with the app on my Ipad. Airport Utility on my Macbook found both the Extreme and Express. Appears an app update is in order.

This message appears at least 5 times a day, my carrier is from Peru. Does anyone knows if it's normal or how to stop it?
Thanks!A red check means the text wasn't sent (maybe the number has been changed, they have texts blocked, there was a network problem).

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi. What should I do?
Reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
Try updating using iTunes on your computer. -
HT1338 my mac is not connected to the internet. How can I update the software?
I want to update the software of my mac pro but it is not and cannot be connected to the internet. Is there some way to do this?
Sure, you can download the disc image (.dmg) and zipped (.zip) files onto your PC. Then transfer them to a FAT32 (MSDOS) formatted flash drive that you can then read and copy onto the Mac. Just do not attempt to open either type of file on the PC which can result in corrupting the files once copied onto the Mac.
Might I ask why you cannot connect the Mac Pro to your internet connection? -
can't get words to open. I have no other applications open, but every time I tap the icon I gat an oops error message that a problem has occurred. ***
First try killing Words. When on the home screen double press the HOME button, then swipe the screen image of Words up to close it.
Next, reset your iPhone by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears. If the problem is not resolved delete the app from your phone, reset the phone again, then reinstall the app. -
"Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and onlin...
I've been trying to login to the BT Sport app and keep getting told that I haven't activated it yet. I'm shown an activate button and when I press it I'm taken to a site where I have to log in using my My BT credentials. Upon logging in I'm shown the following message:
"Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and online content because a BT ID created by Stephen is the account holder."
The message is completely nonsensical as I the account holder and I've logged in with valid credentials. I tried calling the helpline and am still waiting for someone to call me back, even though I called them two hours ago. What awful service.Hi W0035521,
Welcome to the community forum. Do you have more than 1 BT ID? It sounds like you have another ID that has been set up with account holder status. I can take a look at this for you. Please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.
Thanks

I have bought a used iPhone 4S now I can't access to iCloud account it shows an apple error 403 what to do
I like to use the iCloud facility in my iPhonehttp://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
Contact whoever you got it from. If they can't or won't remove the lock, get your money back. If they won't do that, or you can't contact them, turn it over to the police. It's probably stolen.
There is no way to bypass the activation lock.
