Why do my MacBook Pro and my PC have the same IP address?
I wanted to use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my PC, but I can't because they both have the same exact IP address. Everyone keeps saying that this is impossible, but when I go to ipchicken.com from both computers, the same exct ip address is there. How do I change this?
Sure it can be assigned by DHCP. If trying to access from the internet he would need to forward port 3389 to a specific IP. Most routers today have static assignment by MAC address through the DHCP server. So all devices will get the same private IP on the LAN when turned on but still have DHCP enabled for when they are take away from one LAN and connected to another.
Setting static IPs on computers is very old school and today isn't really need IF you have a router that can assign IP by MAC address.
But to the OP original question. It is my opinion he is trying to connect to his Win PC across his LAN and doesn't know that you have to check the IP address on the computers. Not through a web page on the internet. Otherwise he would of realized that the IP he was getting was for the WAN port of his router.

my childs ipod and my ipad have the same email address and itunes ID how do I stop both devices duplicating everything, change email address or set up new itunes account?
On each device go to Settings> iTunes and App store> Turn off automatic downloads of Music, Apps and Books. Now a purchase will only go to the device from which it was ordered.

Q10 and Z10 cannot have the same email address??
Hello Everyone!
I have this weird situation going on:
I have purchased a few months ago a Q10 after having a Z10 for a several months.
I have swithched the new Q10 with the phone number that i mostly deal with, and left the Z10 with the second number.
The issue is: I have registered my Gmail email address on the Q10 and everything works ok, as soon as I try to set up the same address on the Z10 the, on the Q10 it stops working and magically it works on the Z10.
How can I solve this thing? Is annoying!
I want both my devices to have the same gmail account running.
Please advise.
GBHi and Welcome to the Community!
If you truly are talking strictly about email (and not, for example, BBID), then that should not happen. I have the same GMail accounts integrated to my Z10 as well as my Q10, with no difficulties. Note however that my Z10 is integrated via ActiveSync and my Q10 is integrated via IMAP, but they both work correctly. I can think of no reason why it does not work for you, and can only consider that you should remove the email account integration from BOTH devices, and re-integrate it again to both and see if a fresh integration will help your situation.
Good luck and let us know!

Why when u transfer a doc from a pc to a macbook pro does it not have the same format
Why when you transfer a doc from your pc to a macbook does the format change?
Is it a Word doc?
You can buy Word for Mac- and yes there are many types of Word docs and they do not always render exactly the same one OS to another OS. -
Streaming from Macbook Pro and using it at the same time?
Haven't decided yet if I'm going to buy the Apple TV or not, and I still have a few questions in the back of my mind. The biggest one being if I am streaming a movie from my MacBook Pro, does it still function regularly as a laptop or do I have to stop using it during the duration of the stream? I like to be able to work and watch movies or TV at the same time, and this is going to be a big deciding factor if I get one or not. Can anyone help? Thanks!
if I am streaming a movie from my MacBook Pro, does it still function regularly as a laptop
It does indeed. In fact when you use it, you probably wont even notice your computer is streaming content to the Apple TV. -

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -

I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?
You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
installation current.

I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???
That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.
