Adding a password to a computer to computer network?

I have made a computer to computer network with internet sharing through air port so I can share my airport between my computers and my ipod touch but I did not add a password to the connection. How can I now go and add a password to that connection so it is secured?

Unfortunately the only type of wireless security that internet sharing supports is WEP encryption. To enable a WEP password goto System Preferences-->sharing.
Then select the port you wish to share from such as 'Share your connection from EN0 to computers using Airport. Then click on the Airport Options Button then you can enable encryption using WEP and set a password.

Computer to computer password problem

I'll try to make this clear.
4 machines involved: iMac G5 using OS 10.4.7, iBook G4 using OS 10.3.9, PowerBook G4 using OS 10.3.9, and iBook G3 using 10.3.9, it has added memory so it can handle OS 10.
Computer to Computer networks work fine between the G5 and iBook G4. Before we got the G5 it worked fine between the iBook G4, PowerBook and G3. Now I cannot connect the G3 or PowerBook to the others. When I try everything is fine till it gets to the enter password stage. I enter the password and it says I don't have the correct password. I am lazy so the password is the same for all our computers. I did check it many times. I even reset the passwords for all the computers and checked again, works for others but not G3 or PowerBook.
Sharing is on. I also tried an ethernet connection with the same result. By the way, iTunes sharing works.
There is no other way I know of to easily move my daughters work off the G3 or transfer files to the PowerBook for work since there is no CD burner a Zip disc doesn't have much capacity.
Thanks for listening!

Just what are you doing and what is the exact wording of the message you are getting?

When syncing iPad to MacBook Pro itunes says "this computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the ipad" . When I enter my id and password it tells me the computer is authorized.

I reset my forgotten password via email on my computer, but 2 hours later new passowrd doesn't work from iPhone What am I missing?

I reset my forgotten password via email on my computer. Two hours later still cannot use new password on my iPhone 5 ios 7.x.x. Am I missing something?

Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I add a password to an existing Computer-to-Computer (ad-hoc) network?

I have just created a computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) network but accidently missed the step to add a password to restrict access to the network. I cannot see any options to edit or manually manage the 'device' network.
How do I add a password or delete the network?

Use AirPort Admin Utility to enable wireless encryption on the one called "Main". Use WPA2 or WPA (with a non-dictionary password) if all of your equipment supports it.
Configure the 2nd AirPort Express (AX) [formerly "Remote"] to join the wireless network provided by the first one. Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

Initially stating No authorization required using Adobe. When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer. What gives?

When I set up Adobe reader on my computer to be able to download books from a library and then transfer to my Nook e-reader, I initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.

This is pretty surprising and wierd that even Reader 10.1.1 is crashing on your system. It works pefectly for me.
Would it be possible for you to get the crash dump, and upload it, so that I can have a look at the same.
Download PROCDUMP from <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900.aspx> and extract it to a folder, say, c:\temp\procdump.exe
Open cmd prompt and type "cd c:\temp".
Launch the browser and open the PDF.
Open task manager, sort processed by name. Two AcroRd32.exe instances should have been launched. Note the PID (a small integer like 5588) corresponding to the AcroRd32.exe with the higher memory usage; this is the process that must be crashing. Note this PID.
On the cmd window, type "procdump -e -ma 5588 c:\temp\01.dmp" (replace 5588 with the actual PID of the process noted in Step 4). Procdump will now wait for the aoolication to crash. If it throws a EULA, accept it.
Perform your steps to cause the crash.
Procdump will have created a dump file at "c:\temp\01.dmp". Zip it up (since it will be 100s of MBs otherwise) and share with me.
Thanks in advance for all your help

Every time I try to sign in to iTunes, it says my password is incorrect. So, I reset my password, sign in on my computer and it works. But when I sign in to a different device, it says my password is incorrect. Why?

Make sure you sign out of the other devices and then sign in with the new PW
