Have to provide my Wireless Network password EVERYTIME to sync AppleTV

Is this right? Everytime I want my AppleTV to sync to my iTunes I have to go onto AppleTV and put in my password for my Wirless Network (Airport Express with AirTunes). Is this normal? Also my AppleTV always drops away from "Devices" in iTunes after that tedious sync I just described above......am I doing everything correctly? why does it keep dropping it? Sometimes if I close & reopen iTunes it finds my AppleTV, but rarely......and I don't want to have to do this each time I want to resync my AppleTV. Thanks in advance,
Chris

- Did you look at iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV (icon), is "Look for Apple TV" checked? Also on the same dialog box you should see apple TV listed.
- I had something similar also. "Apple TV" disappeared from my iTunes device all the time (so i could not change sync settings), it started to happen when I turned the wireless security ON (even when ATV could see my iTunes library). I finally found the problem. This was the solution, maybe it could help you also?
1) Go to iTunes preference and go to Apple TV as described above. Remove Apple TV if it is listed.
2) Go to your Applet TV, select "Sources" from the Main menu. Select Resync off and on. Now you we will see the security number that should be entered on iTunes.
3) On your iTune enter the security number.
4) Now the "Apple TV" device should be back in iTunes and watch out it will resync everything, it takes a while, also check your sync settings, because the originals will be lost, as what type of movies, photo library you want).
Let me know if it helps. class=otherinfo>PowerMac dual G5 (2ghz)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Aiport extreem (n)

  • How do I set up my kids laptop to have to ask for wireless internet password everytime?

    I don't want my kids to be able to just click on a web browser and automatically connect to the internet. I want the wireless internet to require a password everytime in order to log on to the wirelss router.
    How do I do this?

    How do I do this?
    The AirPort Extreme (and other Apple routers) do not have this type of capability. Using the AirPort Extreme, it is possible to enable one or both of the following options:
    1) Require a password to to connect to the wireless network every time the network is accessed
    2) Set up daily time limits for each device that will be allowed to connect to the wireless network
    If you need an applicaton to control access to the Internet or specific sites on the Internet, you might take a look at OpenDNS as a potential solution.

  • I have set up my wireless network and now have moved. How can I set up a new network with a different ip address

    I have set up my wireless network on airport express and worked great. I have now moved and have a new internet provider and need to change my ip address. How do I do this

    Is your new ISP providing you with a static Public IP address? ... or are they providing you with a dynamic IP address via DHCP (this would be the most common method for consumer-grade Internet service.) Next, which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? Finally, which version of the AirPort Express do you have?

  • Hi.  My new generation iPad will not accept my wireless network password.

    Hi!  My new generation iPad tells me my wireless network password is incorrect.  Therefore, I cannot connect!  Please help!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Deskjet 3520 wireless network password not accepted but it is the correct password

    I just got this Deskjet 3520 printer and it's supposed to use my wireless connection.  I got as far as it selecting the correct wireless network and the correct password was already there but after configuring a few minutes, it said the wireless network rejected the password. This happened a few times and I tried  both the wireless network key and the system password.  So I don't have a wireless printer at this point.  I hope someone can help.  thanks.

    Hi mwell10,
    I suspect you would have to either call your router provider or you can go into the EWS (Embedded Web Server) of the router using its IP address.
    To get the IP address of the router you can click on the airport/wifi icon on the top right of the Mac screen ans select *Open Network Preferences*. Then in the Network Preferences you will see the Router IP address.
    Take this IP address and put it into the address bar of a Safari browser.
    Use the Thread below for further assistance.

  • Connecting to Windows Computer via wireless network (Password issue)

    I have a wireless network set up at my house, and we all can see each other's shared computers, and the windows machines can connect to each other without a problem.. but my Mac cannot connect to them, but they can connect to me. When I goto "Connect to Server" it asks me for a username and password for the windows machine.. I don't know what to do from here!!! Please help, thanks a bunch

    In your Sharing panel, did you go into "Options" and check the box for sharing via SMB?
    Then from XP you should be able to reach the Mac via //(ip# or DNS name)/
    and you should see the available shares.

  • Wireless Network Password

    My Officejet J4680 locates my wireless network but when I enter the WAP passphrase it tells me it is invalid. I am 100% sure the password I have entered is correct. I have the router settings in front of me. Can someone tell me what I can do?
    Thanks
    Drew

    What router?  WPA passphrases are case-sensitive, by the way.
    Restart the router by pulling its power plug momentarily just before connecting your printer.

  • Have to manually choose wireless network every time I turn on my Macbook

    I am using a Macbook Pro for a few days now and it seems that every time I turn it on, I must manually select my wireless network before it will connect. How can I get the computer to do that automatically? I have tried what seem to be all the network settings and nothing works.

    Actually, I have. What I didn't realize when I started this thread is that this situation has been discussed elsewhere and it appears to be a bug that Apple will need to address.
    It makes no difference how the settings are set, when the Macbook is restarted it does not automatically select a wireless network. It will start the airport card ok, and list all the networks ok, and as long as my encryption key is in keychain, all I have to do is press the airport icon and then the network which I use and it will stay on even if I put the computer to sleep, but it will NOT automatically choose this network if I turn the computer off and back on again.
    Guess I just need to wait for a firmware upgrade like everyone else.

  • Constantly have to re-select wireless network

    Ever since installing Lion, I constantly have to reselect my home wireless network after shutting the lid to put the machine to sleep or rebooting. I'm curious why it isn't automatically re-joining the network? My network is set up with a closed SSID and uses WPA2. After waking the machine up, I have to click on the AirPort menu, wait several seconds for the gear to spin and display my network )even though it is closed) and then select the network to reestablish the connection. I have deleted the network as one of my preferred networks and added it back, but it hasn't resolved the issue.

    I'm having the same exact problem with my MacBook Pro. My wife's MacBook automatically connects every time. All our iPhones and iPads automatically connect every time. Even my Sony media player connects just fine. It's just my MBP.
    I've tried everything that my searches have come up with.
    Deleted and reconnected the network.
    Created a Location.
    Put WiFi on the top of the Network connection hierarchy.
    Put my home network on the top of the wireless hierarchy.
    Etc.
    This is soooooooooo annoying!

  • Always have to select my wireless network...

    On my powerbook I can't figure out where I can tell it to automatically connect to my wireless network when I boot up - I always have to go up to menu bar, click on the wireless icon and select my network. There must be a way to tell it to always select it, but I sure as heck can't seem to get it work!

    I have the same problem. I reviewed the knowledge base entry, but I only get options for "automatic" and "preferred networks". I lose th connection constantly and can only re-establish by manually selecting the network name from the airport pulldown list.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,

  • How do you change the setting so you don't have to put your apple Id password everytime you go to app store

    I want to make it so tht I don't have to type this long password everytime I want to download a new app or update te apps, how do you do tht?

    You can't. Password is required & the only time not required is within 15 minutes of use. Password is no longer required for App updates.

  • Need Help Connecting New MacBook Pro with Wireless Network Password

    Hi Linksys Community,
    I would like to ask for your help and advice.
    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro, OS X, Version 10.8.3.
    I need to setup a password to the wireless internet network (I've successfully done this)
    I have a Wireless G,  WRT54G Router. 
    When I setup the password, I'm not able to connect to the internet with my new MacBook Pro, which is running Mac OS X Version 10.8.3.  I get the message 'cannot connect to Internet, connection timeout) However, I'm able to connect to the internet with an older MacBook Pro, and my iPad. The password works fine with other models.
    Would anyone be able to help me troubleshoot what is going on, or how I can solve this problem?
    I would like to be able to have a password on my network, and use the internet with my new MacBook Pro.
    I have read about manually adding in the MAC address of computers, and setting up a Wireless MAC fiter.
    Does anyone think this would solve the problem?  if so, how can I find out the MAC address of my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks in advance for you help and time!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    Yes, my computer connects when your network is open (no password set)?
    I used WPA Pre-Shared Key.
    Do you know how I could check if my new MacBook Pro is compatible with this?
    Thanks!
