Apple asks for a WPA2 password, but my router only has a WPA-PSK, is it a bug?

My router has a WPA-PSK password. I set up the connection using this password and all works fine. But when PC goes to sleep it kicks me out and asks for a WAP2 password which my router does not even have. When I restart the PC, I am connected again (as my WPA-PSK password was set), is it an Apple bug?

I found an answer for us.
My security setting is WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK on my modem/wirless router with Time Warner Cable. IPad does not have an option to select this security setting when attempting to connect to a WiFi network. I could connect my iPad by WiFi on some ocassions (selecting WPA or WEP on the iPad). However, I would lose connection after about 5-10 minutes. I have been having this problem for about 3 months. I spent a couple of hours on the phone yesterday with Time Warner and we think we "stumbled across" the fix (instead of actually knowing we found it). The tech noticed that the setup on the Time Warner modem/wireless router had the box for Active WPS checked. After the Time Warner tech unchecked Active WPS within the router's setup, the iPad starting picking up the WiFi signal. The iPad has now functioned for a full 24 hours without a problem or shutdown!
When I talked with Apple techs in the past, they had no known solution to this situation and said that Apple simply did not support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. The Time Warner tech also said that "he thinks" (but isn't sure) Apple's designation of WPA Enterprise equates to what others call the "old WPA" (or simply WPA) and what Apple calls WPA, others actually refer to as WPA-PSK (the newer WPA).

If it is asking for an APlle ID password for an ID you do not recognize then you have stumbled upon the Activation Lock feature of IOS7.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

It keeps asking for my IMAP password, but won't accept what I enter

I keep getting a message asking for my IMAP password. But when I enter what I think is my password, it does not accept it, and asks again. And again.
This is new behavior.

Go to Settings/Mail... and delete the account. Then reconfigure it again with the new information.

Outlook asking for username and password, but only for some users

Hello, I'm
in an Exchange Server 2013 client
environment, two CAS servers
and two Mailbox.
Some users are having trouble in Outlook 2007
and 2012, which is directly
requesting the user name and password, not all,
just some.
The Active Directory is ok,
DNS and also own Exchange
servers apparently do not see errors.
Has anyone here ever experienced this?
How can I solve this problem?
As this happens only to some users
and the vast majority have no problems, so
difficult to find the cause.
Thank you!
Ivanildo Teixeira Galvão

Hi Ivanildo,
From your description, only some users have an issue that Outlook prompts for username and password. In your case, I recommend you compare the normal and problematic Outlook settings. Here is the Outlook settings in my environment for your reference:
1. "Always prompt for logon credentials" isn't checked.
2. Logon network security using Negotiate Authentication.
3. "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" is checked.
4. Use the NTLM Authentication when connecting to my proxy server for Exchange.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,

RE1000 asks for username and password

I have the RE1000 installed as extender for my WRT110 router. I was told by Linksys live chat tech that this would be suitable for our home network. When in the family room or on patio (where I have weak WiFi usually), the Extender shows on my iPad in the list of available WIFI and has excellent icon (the router usually has one or two bars and goes in and out).
When I try to access the Extender on my iPad, it asks for username and password but will not take it. Should I run setup again or what?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

in setting up the range extender, it will give you the option to connect to your network. so essentially, you will not have to define/ specify the settings manually. the purpose of the range extender is to extend the signal of the main network, not create a separate network of its own.
i suggest that you RESET the range extender and run the setup wizard again. make sure to connect the device to your network. once the devices have synced up, you will be able to fully utilize this device.
