Can't connect to the internet as I can't enter the 64 charater password
Hey all,
Please excuse my ignorance, but I've just got a new 15” Macbook Pro and I'm stuck already.
I've got as far as the “Mac OS X Setup Assistant” - “Select a Wireless Service” I have my PC (groan) set up on a 16bit encryption with a 64 character long pass word. When I enter the password once I've selected my network and it will only let me enter a certain amount of characters.
I'm using a Linksys router and I've had a mac connected to it before.
What can I do to solve this so I can get onto the net?
Thanks in advance for your help
2-30,
If you are still within the first 90 days of purchase (or 3 yrs if you bought Applecare), you can call 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) to get in touch with Apple technical support. You don't need to do it online.
You computer should work with most projectors, but how are you connecting? I use the DVI-VGA cable and have successfully connected to 5 different brands with no issues. When you connect to the projector, do you automatically connect an external mouse? The reason I ask, is you may have a couple of check boxes marked in System Preferences that would cause this problem.
Open System Preferences and choose Keyboard & Mouse. Then choose Trackpad from the choices at the top. The last checkbox is labeled Ignore trackpad when mouse is present. If you have that checked, and plug in a mouse when using the projector, the trackpad will be ignored.
If you are having the cursor jump while typing, you are more than likely rubbing your thumbs or palms (or wrists) on the trackpad, causing the cursor to move. Touching keys should not move the cursor. In the same System Preferences pane, you may want to check the second to last item to "Ignore accidental trackpad input". That way, when you are typing, accidentally brushing the trackpad will not cause the cursor to move around.
You may also want to check System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse & Trackpad to make sure mouse keys are off. When mouse keys are on, the arrows in the bottom corner are used to move the cursor on screen rather than the trackpad or external mouse.

I Can't add the new wifi password after moving home because my keyboard needs Internet to set up. any ideas? iMac is x 10.9.5
thanksNo there is not an on-screen keyboard.
Why don't you use your keyboard to input the Wi-Fi password?
If your keyboard is an Apple wireless keyboard, then it is a Bluetooth keyboard. In the event the keyboard will not connect to your computer (you type and nothing happens!!) then simply follow these directions: Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues - Apple Support
Once you have the keyboard connected and working then simply input the Wi-Fi password and you are done.
If you still have trouble then I strongly suggest you contact AppleCare and they can help you through the problem. If you don't know the phone number then please click https://locate.apple.com/country to get started. -

Safari 5.0.5 can't enter username/password in a secure website...
Safari 5.0.5
I can't enter my username or password in a secure website.
https://hbi.ingplans.com
Username and password fields will not populate (I can select username login preference).
The site works in Firefox and I can log into other secure sites in Safari.Maybe looking at the source would give a clue to the problem. I didn't go through the code to try to debug it but it appears to be an initialization problem.
Anyway, if you select SSN then Username (or vice versa), it unlocks the fields. -
10.6.8 some devices can no longer connect to the Internet
I have a home network with two MacBook Pros (let's call them MBP1 and MBP2), two iPod Touch, and an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem. All networking and Internet access have been working flawlessly.
Then we updated both MBPs to 10.6.8. Now, out of the four devices, only MBP1 can still connect to the Internet. MBP2 and the two iPods can see the wireless network, but can't connect to the Internet.
We tried a variety of things suggested in other message threads on MBP2: install the 10.6.8 combo update, fix permissions, trash preference files, to no avail. We reset the Airport to factory settings and set it up again. We ran Disk Warrior on MBP2. We have exhausted everything in our bag of tricks.
Anyone else experience something like this?
Is 10.6.8 a red herring, and is this due to something else?
Help!Linc... I followed your advice and started looking elsewhere for the problem. I remembered one thing that was different on my laptop: some time ago, I switched my DNS settings to use Open DNS.
So I checked the DNS settings in the other laptop and the iPods, switched the DNS setting to Open DNS, and everything works like a charm.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! -
I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay. -
Can no longer get my laptop to connect to the internet
Hi,
I recently moved my router and dsl modem after reconnecting everything my laptop no longer can acquire internet access. I have network magic on both my desktop and my wired laptop. I tried resetting the modem reseting the router. nothing seems to work.
I have network magic version 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
Using Windstream DSL
The modem is a Speedstream 4200 Adsl Modem version a12
The router is a Belkin f4d7230-4 version 7000
The problem is present in both wired and wireless configuration.
The desktop is using Windows XP SP 3, the laptop is using Windows 7 64 bit professional
I am using ZoneAlarm Extreme Security.
I am able to connect the desktop directly to the DSL modem (bypassing the router) and have connection but when I try to connect the laptop, no internet access is available.
I am lost!!! Any suggestions??Hi...
Here is one item you can check... If I am following how your home network is setup...
Usually when this happens you have to clone your mac-address to the appliance. This can be done using the administration console on your Belkin router.
First, attach your laptop or desktop directly to the DSL and check your connection.
Then after you have tested your internet connection ok directly attached to the DSL router you reconnect your Belkin router and open your network connection to the web interface. (check your ip address and gateway once attached to the Belkin and see what the gateway address is - this is the ip you need to use to get to the Belkin web interface) Once attached to the web inerface on the Belkin find the "Clone Mac Address" wizard within the advanced administration settings. Then once you clone your mac address using the wizard you should be reconnected to your network like it was originally and your setup should work again...
Hope this makes sense...
Good luck...

I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged.
I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again! -
After update I can't connect to the internet in no way, shape or form
I rarely update because: 1) something always breaks when you update (like now) and 2) I don't like to deal with new crap like GNOME 3. Anyway:
I bought a new router (TL-WR1043N) and configured it with an old Ubuntu because connecting to 192.168.1.1 didn't work on any of my Arch Linux installations. Now... here's where it all starts... I can't use the 'n' wireless on my laptop since I have to install something to use WPA, and to install that I need to update, but I don't want to deal with GNOME 3 and Firefox >3. But I gave up eventually gave up and connected my laptop to the router by Ethernet cable. Setting that up was very easy: 'ifconfig eth0 up; dhcpcd'. Voila! I updated my whole system and restarted. To see how badly I damaged my system I opened Nautilus (I use Openbox with some GNOME programs): shock and dismay, the fonts are visible from the moon. I guess I'll have to quit using GNOME programs completely now but I expected that. I used to use KDE back in the day and when KDE4 came forth from that unholy pit, I immediately abandoned it for GNOME. This time we had more time to prepare, everybody knew what GNOME 3 was going to be. I started using Openbox quite a long time ago.
Anyway: Now to fix my wireless right? WRONG! I can't connect to the internet on cable to get the packages for wireless. I installed Windows 7 64 on the same laptop and it connects to the cable. Ubuntu 9.10 Live also connects, but due to the changes of rc.conf and network stuff I can't connect at all with Arch Linux.
So I decided to abandon it completely and reinstall from scratch. But the Live CD also doesn't work. With all the ways I've tried it all comes down to this:
dhcpcd always times out waiting for a carrier and 'ip addr' shows 'eth0: <NO-CARRIER, ....' if the interface is up. I'm not sure what information I should give you, but I can't paste any here since I can't connect to the damn internet on that laptop.
About the router: the cable is plugged on port 1 and the LED for it flashes if I reboot the computer. In Windows it stops flashing while it connects and flashes again when connected. I removed 'network' from DAEMONS and it flashes till I start it with '/etc/rc.d/network start'. This hangs for a while and returns '[DONE]' even though it doesn't work and the LED never flashes again on the router.
In rc.conf I have exactly what the example says for DHCP. In any case, it doesn't work with the Live CD either.
EDIT 1: From lscpi: painstakingly typed:
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconducctor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
EDIT 2: Just to be clear: I can use the wireless on the laptop on the Live CD, but I want to use the cable because of the greater speed (94Mbit/s on cable 60 something on wireless n, 20 something on g) and because I rarely move the laptop.
EDIT 3: lspci -v shows "Kernel driver in use: r8169 / Kernel modules: r8169", so the driver is loaded.
EDIT 4: So if I boot from the CD. ip addr shows:
eth: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1d:92:...etc... brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
And the LED flashes. When I type: "ifconfig eth0 up" it stops, never to light up again and ip addr shows: "eth: <nO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000
Last edited by imtired (2011-09-08 12:36:51)When you're in Arch, use output redirection
lspci >lspci.out
then boot into Ubuntu or something where you can access the files and the BBS, Of course, don't forget to use a new file for each command output.
The new network config in rc.conf is not that complicated (wired anyway; never used wireless). OTOH I've had issues on two machines where I have to restart the network daemon (rc.d restart network) or rerun netcfg (netcfg eth0) after boot to get connectivity. And I still haven't come to grips with the ip command. -

Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?
Also, download and open the free Adobe Reader app. Then read the Help section to figure out how to use it.

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly. -
I can't get my airport time capsule to connect to the internet
I can't get my new airport time capsule to connect to the internet. It works fine with my linksys router
We cannot help with that amount of info..
What internet type and modem do you have? Exact modem make and model may help.
Is the linksys router also the modem? You do know there is no modem in the TC?
How is the Linksys authenticating if it is plugged into the modem??
If cable did you shut down the cable modem for at least 20min to change the router.. this is always required with cable system.. often the time is longer.. one hour or overnight even. -
