Does the iPad connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    Maybe ask someone in the Apple iPad forum.  This is the Snow Leopard forum.

  • IPad 4 asks for User Name and Password to access home wi-fi network

    I have the iPad 4, which occasionally fails to connect to my home network and will ask me for both an User Name and Password to access my home wireless network. I have no idea what would constitute an User Name and I have tried the name of the network and other options to no avail. When I close down the iPad and take it closer to my Wi-Fi Router (BT Home Hub 3) then switch back on it asks for the password only as normal and all is well. What concerns me is this only happens on the occasional basis, but I am trying to access the router from exactly the same place.
    Is there a fault with the wireless function on the iPad? I have contacted Apple Support by telephone and they were very helpful to be fair, but they had not come across this issue before.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this and could advise me? My other option would be to email Apple Support, but I cannot find an email address for Apple Technical Support UK.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

    Hi all,
    My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
    When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
    I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
    Help! and Thanks.

    Norman & Harry,
    Consider the following:
    *_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
    It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
    It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
    You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
    Select the TC on the left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
    You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
    Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
    That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
    *I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
    You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
    Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
    Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
    To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
    Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
    Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
    *It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
    Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
    Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
    Click the "File Sharing" tab.
    Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
    What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
    If you have made any changes then click "Update".
    Let us know if this resolves your issue.
    Cheers!

  • I keep getting an error message trying to setup my imap email accounts on my new ipad air. Says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?

    I keep getting an error message while trying to setup my imap Gmail and Aol  accounts on my new ipad air. The error says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

  • TS3276 email was hacked, can open email on yahoo (after changing passwords) but cannot open mail on my computer, cannot even access mail because it will not accept my user name or password and I am unable to reset my account

    email was hijacked and spam/virus link sent out to all of my contacts on wed at 4:21AM..... with the Subject as Rep: My Name or My email address and a link to a web page discussing making money working at home.  Could not get into any of my mail, on the web or on Mail on my mac.  After a phone call to automated support through Yahoo through ATT, I was given a temporary password and was able to reset my Yahoo password and get email on the internet.  I still cannot open my Mail Account on either my iMac or MacBook Pro.  I cannot get into Mail, period.  My sign in keeps popping up and it keeps telling me that my user name or password is incorrect.  I tried my old password, the temporary password and the new password.  Nothing is working,  I cannot receive or send anything in Mail.  Mail is Frozen.  If I want my email, I must go to the web and sign into Yahoo Mail.
    Help!

    When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
    In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it. 

  • P1102W wifi connection requires SSID pluss user name and password to connect

    Hello Community.
    I had investigate how to connect my P1102w printer to the wifi and it is easy but here is the problem.
    I have no problem searching with Printer wifi config my WIFI SSID. (usb printer plugged) but My connection requieres when SSID found a user and a password.
    I have not find where does the printer have the option to set up my user name and password to login in the needed SSID.
    Can sombody help me.
    Thanks.

    Yes, but the method is to simply connect the TC to the computer by ethernet and use it on a separate network. That is the best way to do it.. but you can also do the same thing better and easier with an external hard disk plugged in. For a desktop computer this is a better solution in a way. You will only be using the TC for Time Machine backups anyway.
    If you want to continue to use the TC.. then the actual network settings I put in this thread with a whole series of pictures.

  • New iMac won't accept admin user name or password..please help!

    hi there,
    I just bought an imac 20 inch. Now it started up all good then I installed leopard and all seemed well, until I tried to software update. It asked for Admin name and password. I provided these and it just said 'You need to type an administrator's name and password to update', as if I didn't type anything at all.
    Now I know my admin and password I am typing are correct as I can log out and on. So my next step was to re-install, but then I cannot do this without typing in admin and password which it just acts as if I don't write anything. I then tried to do the original disks holding 'c' then go to the password changer in 'utilities'...but wouldn't you know it it just crashes every time I open!
    I am stuck and very frustrated... any help would be appreciated. I saw similar topics posted but none that really fit...please help. Thanks.....
    PS- leopard kept on freezing on installation.

    It sounds as though your user has account has changed from an administrator to a regular user. You need to do some things in order to get you changed back to an admin.
    This should help you http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876

  • Firefox not taking my User Name or Password. Not receiving ANY email from Firefox. This has been ongoing for a few years. Help!

    I am not receiving any emails to resent my password. This is utterly frustrating. Firefox already has my email as JMARKSCHWARTZ at GMAIL dot COM which is correct so why am I not receiving any emails. I need to reset my password because I forgot what it was. It should be an EASY process to reset one's password. Thank you.

    Firefox is a web browser and not a company (that would be Mozilla) nor a email client (that would be Thunderbird or email client in SeaMonkey).

    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    For some reason iWeb does not want to accept my user name and password: I enter it in the programm, update the whole website (which by the way didn´t occur incrementally), and then when I try to call up the page it won´t let me in - instead I have to give in the password and the user name over and over again with the result of the page being loaded just a "little" bit more each time but nothing happening!
