Can Firefox ask for a password to allow access to the internet?

I need to control access to the internet in this workplace and require a password for access. Does Firefox have any way of doing that?

No it doesn't.

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

I am not able to connect to my Wifi. It keeps asking for a password and when i enter the password it either says Unable To Connect or Incorrect Password.
This occurred only after installing a new Wifi router from Qtel (service provider). any assisyance is greatly appreciated.

You should call Qtel technical support and ask for help.
Where did you get the password that you are trying? What does it look like? (Length, type of characters)
Do you know what type of security is being used? WEP, WPA, WPA2

My mac keeps asking for my WEP key to get on the internet why?

my mac keeps asking for my WEP key to get on the internet why? And where can i find it

It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

Can I use my iphone 4 to give access to the internet to my iPad?

Can I use my iphone 4 to give access to the internet via 3G to my iPad WiFi only?

You can with the Personal Hotspot feature located in Settings>General>Network. This might bring additional monthly costs, so ask your carrier first. If the Personal Hotspot feature is not visibily in Settings, then it is either not enabled by your carrier or it has to be enabled by your carrier first (probably also accompanied with an additional monthly fee).

Ijust bought my brand new 21.5" imac computer but i am unable to download, or open almost anything because it asks for a password. When we bought the imac it already had the password and we didnt know it.

i just bought this brand new imac but i am unable to use or download almost anything because it asks for a password. When we bought this computer there was already this password. We did not install it. Also just today we went to a shop to ask for the password n=but they said in it on the little book that tells us how to use the imac. I looked throught that book memorized it but still could not find the password...

Well i am able to go through things, and everything. I dont know quite what that means but you dont need to enter a password to download Adobe Flashplayer. I just did it. wasnt asked. Of course I know the password I set up when I got the computer new but I have never been asked when downloading. When it comes to installing........
If you are being asked BY YOUR MACHINE for a password you do not know it is NOT a new machine.

I just got a new ipad air, and it's tell me to connect to a network...I've chosen my network at home...it's asking for a password, and I've put the password in, but there isn't a button that allows me to hit enter and accept the password.

I just got a new ipad air...it's telling me to connect to a network...I've chosen my home network, which requires a password...I put the password in, but there is no button to press to accept the password. Can someone help me get past this roadblock?

You need 8 characters or more to connect.

It keeps asking for my password but won't accept the usual password.

When I try to access my account I get the following error message: "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted." However, when I look up the account information the username and password I see are the same ones I have been using. How can I clear this up? I tried setting up a new account but it didn't work. Thanks!

If you changed your password in gmail webmail account, then you will need to remove and re-enter the saved password in Thunderbird.
re: Error message 'Username and password not accepted'
I have known a similar issue occur after an update.
I've also experienced a server request to loggon to webmail account cuase this, in which case logon to webmail and everything works ok afterwards.
That error message could mean the username and password are incorrect or it may not be correct for the chosen settings - meaning the settings are wrong.
Note: Username = full email address.
So try this:
if the password was remembered, remove it.
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Security' > 'Passwords' tab
click on 'Saved passwords'
click on 'show passwords'
If Thunderbird password manager was instructed to remember passwords, they will show up in the list. There will be be two, one called mailbox and the other smtp. highlight both and click on 'Remove' then click on 'Close' then click on OK to save changes to Options.
Close Thunderbird and wait a few moments for background processes to finalise.
Restart Thunderbird.
On startup it should prompt for a password.
enter the password,
make sure you select the checkbox for Password Manager to remember the password
click on OK.

I get to where it says adobe wants to make changes, asks for a password, i do not know the psswd???

i am stuck and have tried everything i know!

Hello,
The password you need to enter is your Mac password. When installing software on Mac, Mac requires a user (administrator) password in order to install the software.
P.S. You created two identical threads. I have deleted your other duplicate thread.

How do I set up a Web-based access page to allow access to the internet through my router?

My wireless router is a WRT54G. I own/manage several condos in a building and guests change all the time. I want to set up a network with internet access similar to hotels and airports where access is granted after being directed to a web page and entering a password. How do I set this up? (I have several domains/websites if this is needed.)

Not with standard firmware and no other equipment.
If you want standard firmware and warranty and service you have to look at more expensive equipment.
For some WRT54G you can flash 3rd party firmware which opens up the Linux on the router. See the wikipedia article for "WRT54G" for a start. Also check out dd-wrt. Some people there use the WRT in hotspot setups with dd-wrt. They should be able to point you into the right direction.
Otherwise, what you are able to do with the WRT and standard firmware is radius authentication with WPA or WEP (called WPA Enterprise or similar...). This however, does not redirect you to access through a web site. You have to enter the username and password when you connect wireless to the router on your computer. If it matches you get access. Again: there is no web site involved here and if you don't know the username/password you cannot access anything not even an internal, free homepage. This also does not work for wired access to the router.

Set up Wi-Fi correctly on iPad with Netgear Router WNR 2000 but it won't allow access to the internet?

I have a Netgear WNR 2000 wireless router and I have set up my iPad 2 to recieve the Wi-Fi Network correctly as it says I am connected to this network and the signal strenght is fine but when I try to access the internet through Safari, iTunes, etc. it says I am not connected to the internet. Is it possible there is some conflict between the iPad and this router?

Despite the WiFi sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address when the iPad requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages. There have been several firmware updates to the Netgear WNR 2000 router. You can get the latest firmware here:
http://support.netgear.com
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), MAC filtering enabled, etc.
Also test your iPad on some other networks. If it has problems connecting there it might have a hardware problem.

Can Mail ask for a password when using an account?

I would like to open Mail with a password for using an account. Is it possible?

Yes, Go to Mail - Preferences - select the "Accounts" tab and select your mail account on the left. In the password field, blank it out. You will be prompted for the password when mail tries to access the account.

Hello Berm1,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Sorry to hear that your apps are not updating. Try following the guidelines in the following link for troubleshooting this:

You can skip the first two sections (Verify iOS requirements and Update apps) and start with the third section (Close app). I hope this helps!
