Airport looses SSID and Password from hidden WLAN

Hello Folks,
hopefully someone can help me to figure out what happens with my setup. I have the following situation.
I bought a brand new Apple Airport Extreme Station and configured it with a hidden SSID and a WEP2 Personal Password. Then I connected my MacBook Pro to the Airport Station by clicking the Airport Symbol in the Menu Bar, then connect to network. I entered my hidden SSID and the appropriate WEP2 Password. Everything works fine. But if I reboot the Machine all settings are forgotten by the MBP Airport. I checked the Keyring and there are still all settings there(Pass and SSID). So I tried to delete the Keyring, the Airport Network and create it new but it doesn't work. I have no idea what i could do else.
Please could anyone help me?
Thanks!!!
Merry christmas form germany to all Apple geeks

You might try resetting your connection settings using the steps listed in the second message of this thread:

They're not guaranteed to solve the problem, but they'll only take you a minute or so to try.
By the way, a hidden SSID doesn't give you much security. Unless there's a reason you can't use WPA security, you'd be much better off with WPA/WPA2 than with WEP and a hidden SSID.

Help - trying to change SSID and password

I would like to change my Verizon Fios network name and password from the factory settings but I am experiencing the following problem:
Keep in mind that I have a Dell laptop.
1. I go into the Verizon Online portal to change the settings, and successfully enter the new SSID in the box and click "Apply" (not the problem)
2. Then, my wireless network disconnects. The name changes to what I just entered in the list of available networks, but there is a red "X" next to it and I am unable to connect. The message says that the settings entered do not match those configured for the network.
It seems like my computer refuses to accept the new network name and password, so even though I am able to change the network name and password, the computer is remembering the old and will not connect to the new.
Any suggestions?

sound like your stored password is wrong
for win 7
Open Network and Sharing Center.
In the Tasks pane, click Manage wireless networks.
Right-click the connection you want to delete, and then click Remove network.
In the Manage Wireless Networks - Warning dialog box, click OK.
for win 8
In the list of availble networks, right click on the network and select forget this network.
Then reconnect to network. You will be prompted for the password.

A MacBook Air was reported stolen
From a room at my hotel that belong to a guest. I request a apple Id and password from the guest in order to track it though iCloud, when I login into the account the MacBook was not their, however I saw other device. A few days has past then the MacBook appear. How does that happened, please explain?

For a stolen Macbook to appear in iCloud - the person who stole it must turn it on.
You can't track something that's turned off.

I got an iTunes account years ago with an ID and password...them later got a mobile me and password...now I have an iPad and downloaded iCloud and I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad because different account name and password from my mobile me.

I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad now that I have added iCloud. The problem is that my iTunes account has different name and password from my mobile me account. Can I change my iTunes account name and password so that they will transfer to my iPad with the mobile me / iCloud account? I need to figure out how to make the two accounts one or iCloud has to be able to accept my iTunes account with years of music and movies.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

Somehow my MacBookPro iCloud account has a different name and password from my other devices. Even my date of birth is listed incorrectly. I have tried but can't seem to change this info to match up with my other devices. Can someone help?

I have a PC (Windows 7)
Not sure when mobile me changed, but it was this weekend that my storage etc. lapsed (I have paid to keep storage with icloud). So i assume this has something to with it stopping.

Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7?

Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7? I found them and they are not anything that I am familiar with? They are from a t-com.de. I have been to Germany in the last month. Not sure if there is any association. Any thoughts?

You found them ... where? Are they in Safari somewhere?
If so, do Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
If that doesn't clear them (and they are from Safari), try Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and clear that area.

How do I retrieve bookmarks and passwords from a Windows backup, after OS re-install?I have a full Windows backup of my machine, pre re-installl

I had to reinstall Vista 7 OS. I have a full Windows backup of my machine, prior to the re-installation. How do I retrieve the bookmarks and passwords from the backup? I understand they're stored in various files a ".default" folder in C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles. When I try restoring the folder, the files get skipped... When I try browsing for the individual files, I don't see them!

Many thanks for your responses... After a little scouting on the web, I have found THE solution... This is all due to the way Windows 7 Backup works, and will NOT let restore apps...
("File restore in Windows7 is not designed to restore back applications. This is because the application state is spread across potentially multiple folders, files & registry. Windows7 file backup is not aware of where all the state is spread to be able to restore the entire application accurately as such information is internal to the application. Restoring application partially might corrupt the application and render the application unusable. So we do not allow restoring applications from file backup.
In case files under C:\Program Files etc. are chosen for restoring, we block restoring files from backup to such locations as it might cause the applications to not function.'')
What one has to do when restoring is to NOT attempt to restore to the original location, but to select the radio button which allows you to type a path where you want the files restored and type in the path of the original location!!! Then select copy and replace...A little quirky (and tedious), but it works!

Extracting username and password from security header

Hey all,
I'm writing a BPEL process that invokes two secured web services. One of them authenticates using Username Token and the other has a authenticate method in which the username and password are supplied as Strings. I have successfully propagated the credentials from the BPEL process to the web service using Username Token by doing the following:
1) I secured my BPEL process
2) I imported oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd and from it created a variable of type Security
3) I added the security variable to the Header Variables for the BPEL process input
4) I added the security variable to the Input Header Variables for the web service's invoke operation
This worked fine. However, I need to be able to extract out the username and password and supply them as Strings to the authenticate method of the other web service. How can this be done? If it can't, what are some alternatives?
Environment:
JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Sri,
If I understand your steps correctly, I think the problem I'm having rests with the second step. I don't know how to get a hold of the username and password to assign to the local variables you mention. The BPEL process itself uses Username Token for authentication. These credentials need to be passed to the web services invoked within the BPEL process. If I assign the security header variable directly to the string output for the BPEL process, the string returned will be the complete XML security header, which includes the username and password. However, the security header variable itself doesn't expose the username and password directly. In other words, I can't expand the security header variable node in the dialog for editing the Assign operation and get to the username and password. I think one solution is to parse out the username and password from the complete XML security header using string operations (substring, index-within-string, etc). Also, regarding step 4, I'm not sure if passing the credentials in the header will work for this web service. I think the web service is expecting the credentials as parameters to its authenticate method.
Thanks,
Bill

Webdynpro application taking MDM username and password from LDAP

Hi All,
I am working on EP-MDM integration.
EP-LDAP , MDM-LDAP and EP-MDM have been integrated.
The requirement is :
When we run a webdynpro application from EP , it should take the user id and password of EP user who is currently logged in.(which is actually LDAP user and also exists for MDM) without hard coding it.
The application will work according to the roles guaranteed to the user in MDM for eg: the user will be able to write into MDM only if he has read/write permissions in MDM.
Please tell how the application will fetch the username and password from the EP details.
Regards
Shilpa

Hi,
You need to set a trusted connection between the EP and MDM System.
And use the trusted connection JAVA API in the Web Dynpro to make a connection to MDM Repository. Trusted connection JAVA API will ask you only the username and not the password.

Amol

IPad 2 looses username and password with Microsoft Forefront TMG

My company uses Microsoft Forefront TMG as a proxy on our Guest wireless access. We have a guest username and password that changes every few weeks that iPads can use to access the internet at work - we are not allowed into the company network! Although I can put the guest username and password into the authentication dialog, the username and password are lost after the iPad has been off for several minutes and I have to reenter them. In the before iOS 5.0 versions I was able to set the wireless to automatically remember the password and to auto-fill the username and password each time. Now, the username and password that come up were from the pre-iOS 5.0 settings - it doesn't remember the new username and password from the last time that I logged in. This occurs with any App that attempts to log in after I turn the iPad on. The same issue comes up with other iPads here as well. Settings are: Auto-Join and Auto-Login set, HTTP Proxy Off. IP address received from DHCP.
Is there any setting that I can use to get around this problem?
LW

The Apps worked when I originally got it (several days ago), and I could also log onto the websites.
Could it be my wireless router? I did notice that when my macbook pro is asleep, and I open it up to awake it, it sometimes disconnects my wifi signal (everything connected to my signal will lose it) for about 20 seconds, and then it will come back to.
Not sure if that is connected to my problem with logging into websites and apps, but I'll just put that info out there.
