AppleTV 3.0.1 not saving WiFi password

Ever since upgrading to 3.0 software, my AppleTV is constantly forgetting the password for my wifi access point. Doesn't require a reboot, sometimes just switching to a different source on my receiver and back to AppleTV causes the problem.

That usually happens because the ATV drops its wi-fi connection at random. The only way to resolve ATV wi-fi problems with certainty is to use an Ethernet cable. If you do a keyword search of this forum, you can read the rest of the 50 billion posts on this problem.

  • How to view/sync saved WiFi passwords on C3?

    I need a way to view / sync saved WiFi passwords in order to use them with another device.
    Where they are stored on a C3, and how to recover them to a PC?

    @borga
    If you are the Administrator of PC you could always get information from router or via Windows itself, but you are not going to be able to access passwords of all previously visited "hotspots".

  • Iphone 5 is not saving the passwords for wifi

    I have the problem every time i shut of the wifi or i'm out the the signal of the wifi connection.
    When i re-enter my house or when i turn on the wifi i need to make connection the manual way with the password.
    My iphone 4 S saved a the wifi password by it self but i can think of what im doing wrong with this 5
    please help

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
    Also, ensure there is actually storage capacity on the device available to save those pictures.
    Use the device as designed, copy those 926 pictures off the device to a computer for safe keeping.  Then delete them from the Camera Roll and sync back only the one's you want/need on the device.

  • Since I upgraded to ISo6 my iPhone 4s will not retain Wifi passwords

    Hello
    I'm hope that someone can help as this problem is driving me NUTS. 
    Since I upgraded both my Iphone 4s and Ipad 3 to ISO6.  I've had nothing but problems with Wi-Fi access, inititally neither machine would remember the home networks (or any others) then suddenly the IPad3 fixed itself but still my Iphone 4s will not retain the password.
    It was always able without any problems to retain the passwords for any Wi-Fi networks before the upgrade - but no more. 
    I've tried pretty much everything that I read about from a reboot, resetting the wifi setting, resetting all settings, a factory reset and a restore - nothing helps!  The iphone connects to the network no problem - but if you go out or if the phone locks and more than 30 minutes goes by - it'll have forgotten the networks and will require that you reenter the password.  Which is getting more than annoying. 
    Given what I've tried I'm thinking that the software somehow got screwed up a little when it installed and I need to completely reinstall the ISO.  I also noticed the personnel hotspot is missing!
    Any help really appreciated as it's driving me crasy.
    Richard. 

    I read someone said you can tap on "other" when selecting which wifi you connect to and then entering the exact wifi name of the network you wish to join and the password and then joining that network allowed the password to be saved.  Also with iOS 6 the minimum length of the password needs to be 8 characters.  Maybe you password on your router is less than 8 characters long

  • Mail not saving my passwords

    My mail program has stopped saving my passwords so I must reenter them everytime I check my mail. When I type the password in under my account preferences is disappears when I go out of that window. I have searched support and tried fixing with all their suggestions with no success. I assume I must either reinstall keychain or mail. If so, how do I do that? I don't want to reinstall system software if I don't need to. Help!
    It is working fine on my G5.

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain.
    If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entries from the keychain and letting Mail create them again the next time it asks for them.
    If the problem persists, try resetting the keychain:
    1. In Keychain Access > Preferences > General, click Reset My Keychain and proceed as requested. A new (empty) login keychain should be created and the old one renamed and removed from the keychain list, but not deleted.
    2. You can add the old (renamed) keychain (stored in ~/Library/Keychains/) back to the keychain list by clicking the [+] button in Edit > Keychain List.
    3. Depending on what the problem with the old keychain was, you may be able to move/copy password entries from the old keychain to the new one if you wish.

  • Webmail not saving my password

    I click on "remember me" when I logon to webmail but my password is not saved?...thanks for your help
    Solved!

    Thank you both for the clarification.  I used to use Outlook Express for mail email when I had win XP.  I now have Win 7 and there isn't an email client,so I now use webmail.  Outlook remembered both id and password and I thought webmail did the same. 
    Of course there is a Microsoft email client for Windows 7. It is called Windows Live Mail. It is similar to Outlook Express in many ways, different in others, but performs the same functions, and includes a built-in calendar. There are mail clients from other sources that will run on Windows 7 too.
    Go to the Start button and click on it, click on All Programs, scroll down to the Windows Live folder, click on it, and you will find a way to download any or all of the Windows Live components, including Windows Live Mail.
    If you still have access to your OE, you can migrate the folders and  Address Book from OE to Windows Live Mail. The account definitions in Windows Live Mail are almost identical to the definitions in OE so the accounts are easy to set up.
    Here is a link to the Windows Live page on Microsoft's website: http://download.live.com/
    Hope this helps.

  • TS1398 my Iphone 4 S will not accept Wifi Passwords - for some Wifi locations

    @ some locations my Iphone 4 S would not accept the Wifi Password  , gives me a error " incorrect Password "  - any suggestiions ? It connects with my Home linksys  moderm .

    Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can
    unlock it. If the iPhone is locked to Orange, you have to
    work with Orange to get it unlocked. Perhaps someone
    more familiar with UK wireless providers will jump in as
    to the 30 day period, but generally the wireless provider
    sets the unlock requirements. It sounds like Orange is trying
    to discourage unlocking or at least make it inconvenient.

  • Ipad will not accept wifi password

    My ipad will not connect to my home wifi internet,it will not accept the password which I have checked many times to make sure it is correct,
    can anyone help.

    Hi Diavonex Thank you for your reply, Ive tried what you suggested but it hasnt made any difference,although the wireless connection complains my password is wrong, its possible ive put in the wrong email address but when the box to connect to wifi comes up on the ipad screen it no longer gives you the option to enter both email & password, only password, ive tried setting the ipad wireless network settings to factory default but it doesnt work the connection settings are still there & they have a padlock which im assuming means you can not delete them, do you know how I can either delete the wireless network settings & start again or when the ipad wants to connect to the wifi network how to bring up the box with the options to put in both email address & password.

  • Restore only saved wifi passwords after Network Settings reset

    Hi, I did a Networks Settings reset without realising it would wipe my wifi passwords. I know they're in the backup on my iTunes, but I don't want to do a full backup and lose some recent data from other apps that's on my phone.  How can I restore the wifi passwords without restoring the whole backup and reverting the phone back to a previous state?  Thank you!

    barrybarrybaz wrote:
    I know - as I said, they are in the backup. 
    And, how do you know that? Did you encrypt your backup? No where in anything you've posted so far have you stated such.
    Regardless, the restore from backup process is all or nothing, & I'm not aware of any software that can extract data from an encrypted iPhone backup. So, if in fact your backup is encrypted, then your only option is to restore from that backup.

  • Saved Wifi Passwords

    HELP! I got a cool Chromecast for christmas. I know it works because I tried it out at my boyfriends house already with my laptop and his wifi.

  • IChat not saving AIM password

    I love the new iChat but it refuses to save my AIM password, any suggestions?
    Thank You Much
    Richard Brown

    Hi,
    When you opened IChat for the First time were those Start up Screens where you entered your details ?
    If so did you add the Password then ?
    Ifyou did not then the Password is not saved to the Keychain (and iChat cannot access it)
    When you open iChat it will prompt you for the password in a separate window (this may or may not have a option to Save the password.)
    If the pop up window does offer to Save the Password but does not then check you have Read and Write access to the Keychain  (Home Folder/Library/Keychains )
    (Do a Get Info on the File from the Finder's File Menu and check the bottom panel then edit if required)
    If not, delete the account in iChat Preferences > Accounts and re-add it.

  • TS1398 iPhone 4 does not connect automatically and does not remember wifi password

    After being idle for a while, my iPhone 4 goes off wifi and when I am connecting manully, the phone does not remember the wifi password. I have a iPhone 3 and 5 where this is not a problem. Can this be linkes to the phone company you use? The iPhone 4 has a different phone company than the other phones. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Damien,
      Thanks for your reply.
      I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
      The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
      The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:
       Airport Extreme
      Airport Express
        I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?
    Regards

  • Not remembering WiFi passwords since update

    Since i installed the recent update, each time i connect to a regularly used wifi network, I need to retype my passwords. THis is especially the case with eduroam and is extremely frustrating. Prior to the update, I had used eduroam daily for over a year without having to retype my password. Now, I need to do it every time I connect. Please help. 

    Many thanks for the response, but I cant see any useful information in the response. Let me know if I missed a link.
    I can connect perfectly to wifi after typing in the relevant password. My phone now forgets the wifi password to both my work wifi (eduroam) and at home. This means that almost every time i go out of range, I need to retype the password.
    I'd really appreciate some help as this is incredibly frustrating.

  • View saved WiFi passwords?

    I have dozens of WiFi passwords stored on my iPod touch. To my knowledge, these passwords are hidden in a network settings database file. *Is there a way to properly view these without exhaustive hacking or jailbreaking?* Any help is much appreciated.

    In a word, no.
