AirPort does not recognize wireless password

I'm a new user with an older iBook G3. I am unable to wirelessly connect to a new Netgear wireless router. I know the AirPort card works because I've been able to connect to a public access point and I know the router is working because I've been able to connect otherdevices. Security type for the router is WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK; is this the problem? When I try to connect I get either a vague problem statement or that the password or network name is incorrect or there is a problem with security or poor signal. It does appear to have detected the network by name but I just can't connect wirelessly. I assume that if I change the router security I will have to reconnect the other devices?

Hi, and welcome to the forums!
I think Sig has it figured out.
If you need better options on your iBook, might look at these...
I have 2 minis with these, look on this specials page for "Asus/Addlogix WL-167g USB 2.0 Wireless WLAN Adapter"...

Airport does not detect wireless network; it says problem = [network]"connection timeout"

It is not a problem of signal strength, and my Airport detects other networks. It used to detect the network I want to connect to, for two years. It suddenly stopped detecting the network (which is WPA Personal password-protected). When I select choose other network and type in the password, it won't connect to it claiming "connection timeout."
This happened before. Then after several days, Airport was able to detect and connect to the network I want. Now it again won't detect the network, and this seems permanent short of taking measures to address the problem. Should I try connecting manually to the network, and hodo I got about that? Thank you to anyone out there ho might be able to help.

i have a macmini (OS 10.5) and use a belkin wireless router. When I turn on Mac address filtering on the router I have an Intermittent problem. The airport does not recognize the wireless network. On the network preferences panel there is a message that the airport is using a self assigned IP address. sometimes the message says the airport has no IP address. If I turn off the Mac address filtering and use a WAP password only the network is recognised and connects without a problem. How do I resolve this? I dont have the problem with a iBook using system 10.4. Is turning off the Mac address filtering secur?

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password" This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.

I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
Did it ever work?
Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

The system is running in a distributed environment. To be able to proceed, the <SID>adm user will be utilized. Enter the password for the <SID>adm user. In case you are using a Windows domain user, please enter the domain user password.

HT204053 I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials. When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud. Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

Trying to send pix in iPhoto and get message email server does not recognize username/password combination.

apple message when trying to send an email " email does not recognize username/password.

Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the email account and add it back.
The better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as iPhoto's email client in iiPhoto's General preference pane. That gives you better access to your Contacts, a sent copy and templates similar to iPhoto's in the stationary section of Mail.

ICal error: Server does not recognize your password

Today I opened iCal on my iMac and I get an immediate error message saying that the "server does not recognize my password for my user name and says to make sure that it's entered correctly." I went to MobileMe in System Settings and everything was OK. I was able to see it on the MobileMe website but it still gives me the error message when I open iCal.

Today, I had this exact same issue. What helped was quitting iCal, deleting the cal.me.com password in keychain, starting iCal again, then entering it again in iCal preferences. It started syncing right after that.
People who don't have the cal.me.com password should check their general mobile me settings.
Ghostlarke: if you sync your calenders, you ARE using MobileMe.

App store does not recognize my password

Hi furiales,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issues you are describing. If you are having issues connecting to the iTunes Store or App Store, you may find the following article helpful:

Time Machine does not recognize my password. Can I change or delete?

Time Machine in my MacBook Air does not recognize my password. Can I change or delete?I'm connected to an auxiliary disc via a USB connection and power is present for both devices. No Backup started after disc encryption and now the external disc drive can be used since the password I started with can not be used to unlock it. Am I missing something or am I just out of luck with this external drive?

I had already done this to no avail. I'm wondering if I'm confusing the password to unlock the external device with the password to encrypt the disc used after it was connected to the MacBook. If so, there is no way I can recall a password for a device I bought a decade ago (pre increased security about identity theft, etc.). So maybe the answer is to secure a new device.

I have the same issue any help appreciated

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4. When I try it responds that the password is invalid. I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

Airport utility 5.6 does not recognize my password

Here's the deal. I have Airport Extreme and Airport Express. I moved our TV temporarily from the family room to the the guest room. The Airport Extreme is still in the family room next to the modem. Internet works fine for the computers. I have a Sony BD DVD player that allows access to Netflix. Outsmarting myself I remembered my Airport Express (called "extender" by Airport utility) so I connected the Sony to the Express thinking I could get Netflix like I did when it was with Airport Extreme. Patience, please. So I go to AD and I see a discussion that says I need Apple 5.6 in order for Extreme and Express to work together. Aha! Problem solved! Wrong. Airport Utility will not recognize my password for Airport. Other folks can come over and I give them the password and no problem. I am totally perplexed. Help, please.

So now I have to try and find something called "device" for a password?
Please review my answer again. I advised that you needed to look for a listing in KeyChain Access for the AirPort Base Station password. Something like this, for example:
This is the password that you assigned to the AirPort Extreme device when you originally set it up.
Is there a way to do a complete hard reset for both wireless devices and start over?
If you want to delete the current settings for your AirPort devices and return everything to original factory settings, you can do so with a Factory Default Reset.
The instructions for this are found in this Apple support document:
