At each startup I need to use intrnt conect to or else internet doesnt work

Everytime I startup my iMac G5 I have to use internet connect and type in my 26 digit password to reconnect to the network or else the internet wont work. I was hoping some one this forum would have an answer to my problem. I thought I should mention that all the other computers in the network are windows PCs.

spence_914,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
For future reference you've posted in the iMac G3 "CRT" forum - whilst I do not wish to be unhelpful you will be better to post in the iMac G5 forum for future queries as the users there will be much more familiar with iMac G5 issues. Some users in this forum are still in OS 9 and so the chances of getting a rapid responce are reduced.
G3: G5:
Internet Connect. We'll need some more details to be able to assist with the original issue:
How do you network with the PCs? - WiFi? - Ethernet?
How is your network connected to the internet? Wireless Router with Cable/DSL connection? USB modem connected to one machine? etc etc.
I haven't used Internet Connect application since I was on dial up - is that how you connect?
Or are you trying to connect the Mac to the internet whilst file sharing with the PCs?
Have you looked at using Keychain - which replaces filling in many passwords.
kind regards

  • How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
    The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
    Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and  i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD ,  pen and paper and CDs .
    Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
    I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
    Thanks

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can i use the iphone 5s if the screen doesnt work?

    the screen of my iphone 5s doesnt work anymore but the phone still works perfectly well. I want to unblock the iphone but I cannot find a way. is there any way in which I can unblock the iphone without using the touch screen?

    Take your iPhone to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center and have them assess it and suggest next steps.

  • Why does my pc not see my new HP 6520 unless I reconnect the printer each time I need to use it?

    New HP 6520 is driving me mad.  It remains connected to my wi-fi solidly all the time, but my HP notebook (Windows 7) cannot see it unless and until I go through the wireless setup on the printer using the same IP etc. 
    I have added the HP printer software to the firewall (Norton) traffic rules and added its IP address to my router, to no avail.  Otherwise it remains invisible to the rest of the network, which is a huge, huge pain.
    Bottom line - I cannot print or scan or use the printer, despite the fact that it remains solidly connected to my network unless I reconnect it from the printer control panel. Seldom have I come across a more user unfiendly piece of kit and would much appreciate someone giving me a steer as to making the darned thing work as it should.

    And that, dear cns518, is exactly what I am going to do and never again think of HP when it comes to buying a printer.  My son, very experienced, runs his own internet business and he had a go and got it working for a while and then, without reason it stopped again and has reverted to 'you want to print matey?,  ,Then best you turn off Wi-FI and then back on again and I might think about it'.
    The printer mechanics seem good, but what is the point of such a useless software setup that none seem able to get right.  Am off to the store from whence it came tomorrow, so bye-bye HP 6520 and over to something that will work out of the box.

  • I need to use a plug in for an internet program, but it will not open in Adobe

    Its for a poker website and it keeps saying its not found in Adobe

    See if Deltagraph is still around.  We used to use that for plotting scientific data on Macs.  I don't know if it is at all transferrable with Sigmaplot if you have a colleague who uses it, but if you're doing this on your own I would look at getting DG vs, doing a dual boot  etc.

  • Do I need to use an apple monitor for my pc to work right.

    I brought a G5 tower without a hard drive.  Put a new 1 terabite hard drive and got new osx 10.5.  Having trouble installing the osx.   Seems like the optical drive is not reading the disk.  Swapout optical drives with one from another working pc (dell), still not reading disk.  Do I really need to have apple
    keyboard, mouse, and monitor, for it to work properly.  Am I just waisting time and money.

    A windows monitor, mouse, and keyboard will work on most older Mac computers. However you really need a Apple keyboard because there are some different keyboard keys your gonna need like the Apple and Option key that a windows keyboard doesn't have.
    As far as the hard drive I work mostly on windows hardware so someone like BDAqua would be very knowledgeable with that. I seem to think you need the hardware drivers for the G5 that may or may not be with the new OS 10.5? A Dell hard drive will not work with the G5 if it already has a windows OS installed to it, you'd have to reformat the Dell hard drive while in a Dell computer to erase it. Your not wasting your time.

  • I'm using ibooks author and have 2 ipads. I was able to use my 1st ipad to preview the book and it worked perfect. Then I needed to use my 2nd ipad and it didn't work

    The 2nd ipad is another designers in my department. I did all the tricks that normally make preview work. Unplug ipad, close ibooks, reopen ibooks, then plug into my computer, waited a few minutes, then hit preview. Still nothing?
    Plugged my first ipad back in to double check for user error and that works fine.
    By chance does ibooks autor only recognize 1 ipad?? the ipads have 2 different "owners" so would that cause an issue??
    thanks!

    When I had this problem it was because the iBooks on the iPad hadn't been updated to iBooks 3.
    It can't be a number of iPads issue as I've connected a couple of different ones here.
    If it's not this then sorry I have no other ideas!

  • I can't reply, forward or compose e-mail using my yahoo e-mail. Internet Explorer works fine

    My yahoo e-mail was fine before Office Depot did a tune up and added McAfree virus protector on computer. Now I am not able to do anything on my e-mails except look at them.

    Thanks for replying; it occurs with all addresses "forwarded to", "replied to", or "sent to", not the same addresses.
    I forgot to mention in my post that when I use the "Mail" program in my .mac account or .me account, I have no problem sending, forwarding or replying to emails. It is only the "Mail Application" that is a part of Panther or on my G4, Leopard, that gives me a problem. I'm tempted to trash the "Mail App" and just use .mac's mail feature, although I have had several prior years good experience with the
    "Mail Application". Could this be a problem with my internet provider, AT&T? Am I using their server or the .mac server?

  • I need to use a "pause" key on windows parallel, or the fn f15 key.  I have a mac book pro 13" and only see keys upto f12.  Is there a way to do this?

    I own a mac book pro 13" and I use parallels for work and desperately need the "pause" key that used to be on my PC.  It is the equivalent of the f15 key.  My keyboard only goes up to f12 and I have looked in here and on google and can't figure it out.  doesn't anyone have ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have found the solution for myself for the above.  I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

  • AppleCare purchased, never arrived. Need to use it

    I purchased AppleCare with my original iPhone. I need to use it now as the vibration no longer works, and the ear speaker is very quite.
    I have proof of purchase of bothe the phone and AppleCare but I need the registraion number to execute.
    How do I get this info please?
    Many thanks.

    Contact Apple. If you have the proof of purchase they can look up the info. The AppleCare group may need you to fax the receipt over so they can activate it.
