Connecting to an unknown network when a password is required.

I struggle to connect to an unknown network when a password is required. In settings, there's a tick as if it's connected but it isn't. What am I doing wrong?

- Googling shows that you have to join the network and then open Safari and agree to the terms and conditions and then the connect will be completed.
- Try:
Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Go to Settings>Safari and clearing history, cookies and data

  • Airport wont connect on my home network when its password protected but..

    Airport wont connect to my home network when its password protected. It will connect to my network if i go into my linksys router and set the network to "not password protected". If i put on the security and choose a pass phrase it always says connection failed when i try to connect to the network. anyone got any suggestions on what to try ?
    ps and yes i am putting in the password right

    Hi Nickerjones
    When you enter your password for the Linksys router, is it generating a separate code phrase? By this, I mean if you enter "password", the Linksys converts this to a code that might look something like "ju457re76en7pq" for example. The code is generated based on an algorithm that Linksys uses for their products and should be visible in the set up page. Sorry, I haven't used Linksys for several years so I can't remember all the details.
    Other manufacturers use different algorithms for their products, so if you entered "password" on an Apple product, it would likely convert the phrase to a different code, which the Linksys would not recognize. If you can locate the actual code that the Linksys generates when you enter your password and use that same exact code when you enter the password for your wireless on Airport, you may have your problem solved.

    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.

  • My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it.

    My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it. When it idles, the connection gets lost and even clicking on the network won't connect it. Then I have to turn off wireless and turn it back on for it to connect. My boyfriend's MacBook Pro does not have this same problem and this problem started maybe 2 months ago and nothing about our internet or router has changed, and its only my computer having the problem. Its a 2013 MacBook Air and my softward is: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42). Please help!

    Hello, nheredia05. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple steps that I could recommend trying.  Power cycle the router and test to see if the behavior persists.  Next, try an remove this prefered network from your list and then add it back again.  Make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router side and the settings have been optimized for performance.  If the issue still persists try the steps in the second article.

  • My ipod 5 was stolen but I have find my ipod installed on it but my ipod isn't/never was connected to a wifi network when it was stolen so how will my ipod play sound or go on lost mode and if there's no wifi connected to it?

    my ipod 5 was just recently stolen in a waterpark (same with my best friend) and when i went on to find my ipod I pressed play sound and lost mode but it never successfully did all those things because my ipod wasn't or isn't connected to a wifi network as it says in the app. so how will I ever find my ipod if it never is going to connect to a wifi network without the thief accessing my ipod (I have a passcode). and also when I check the app once in a while it says ipod is online but cannot find location, so does that mean the thief is using my ipod or is trying to get in?

    Yo are correct. It has to connect to internet for the FindMyiPhne features to be transmitted to the iPod
    lost/stolen                                     
    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Connect to one wireless network when multiple networks with the same name

    Hi all,
    I'm at a location where there are two networks with the name (e.g.) "wireless". One uses WEP and one uses WPA. The WEP network is weaker than the WPA network, so my Mac tries to connect to the WPA network, even though I have manually setup the wireless network with WEP security (after trying to connect it asks for a WPA password). Is there a way that I can connect to a wireless network by MAC Address, or some way for me to tell the Macbook to ignore the WPA network? The problem is that the SSID is the same, it seems.
    Thanks,
    Nate

    The person (the landlord) isn't tech-savvy at all.
    That is clearly obvious as
    1. They would not be using WEP
    2. They would setup a different SSID
    WEP is not secure and can be cracked in minutes using tools readily available on the internet. If a hacker gain access to that network they could run other tools and hijack the dns and then you could be visiting sites on your mac that are completely bogus but look real.
    Also it is common trick that hackers use is to setup an access point nearby with the sane SSID to capture details from users that join their network thinking they have joined their own network. Again the hacker can hijack the dns and monitor all your browsing and capture details.
    The fact that someone has setup an SSID nearby with the same name would make me very suspicious.
    I would treat your landlord's network as an untrusted network same as when your using a public wifi like coffebucks.

  • How do I stop my internet from connecting to a certain network when I turn on my computer

  • Loss of connectivity of a wireless network when more than one laptop connects to the internet.

    Hi,  I have a wired network of 20 computers controlled by a net gear wired router from a DSL modem. The router is plugged into a hub. I have a linksys router WRT54GX4 which is plugged into the hub to allow wireless internet access. The DHCP has been disabled on the wireless router. I have added three access points WAP54G which are plugged into the wired network in outer rooms to expand the wireless network. The wireless network works just fine with only one laptop connected to the internet but when two laptops connect they both lose connectivity. That is my problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? The IP address of the wired router is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of the wireless router is 192.168.2.3, the IP address of the access points are 192.168.2.245, 192.168.2.246, 192.168.2.247. All the devices are on channel 11. All have the same SSID. The default gateway on the access points is 192.168.2.1. It is an unsecured network. Please help.  Thanks   Peter Z

    Hi MnM Show,
    Tim is correct, if you are using ISCSI Storage and using the network to get to it, it is recommended that the iSCSI Storage fabric have a dedicated and isolated network. This
    network should be disabled for Cluster communications so that the network is dedicated to only storage related traffic.
    This prevents intra-cluster communication as well as CSV traffic from flowing over same network. During the creation of the Cluster, ISCSI traffic will be detected and the network
    will be disabled from Cluster use. This network should set to lowest in the binding order.

  • Can't connect to my wifi network when external monitor is connected

    The computer is a very new Retina Macbook Pro. The monitor is an older Alienware/Benq 20" (3:4) LCD. I'm using a DVI to mini-displayport adaptor and plugging into the thunderbolt ports on the Macbook Pro. Router is a Belkin F5D8233 Wireless N router. As soon as I connect the monitor my connection to my wifi network times out and refuses to let me connect (every attempt just results in a "connection timed out" error). However, I was surprised to find that I could connect to my neighbor's network without any issue. Anybody have any idea what the issue could be?

  • Mac not connecting to a wifi network when trying to reinstall OSX using Internet recovery

    Hi guys. I'm using a Macbook Air(late 2010 model) and seem to have some trouble reinstallling OSX 10.8.5 using Internet recovery. When I'm trying to reinstall the OS running the recovery mode, the wifi is not connecting. After some trials I noticed that when I run the recovery mode, the network settings are automatically going back to defualt ( I use manual IP address and everything but in recovery mode it falls back to 'Using DHCP'). Just let me know if I'm supposed to provide any other information. I request everyone to help me with this. Thanks in advance.

    I reccomend to set ur router back to dchp and after you are done with recovery set it back to manual ip. Or if you have the DMG of the ur installation, create a bootable installation disk. Several tutorials on youtube based on your OSX version and reformat that way.

  • HT4628 my wi-fi connection changes to another network when ever my macbook pro restarts

    I've check remember network, my private network, but every time I close my laptop or restart it the wi-fi network changes

    Either turn off sleep mode, or turn off your computer more.
    3'rd option is to just re-start when using your computer after it sleeps.

  • How to connect my iMac G4 to my network, it wont let me something about the password but I connect to a open network???Ask your question.

    Hello I have been trying to connect my iMac G4 to my network but I can't. I have a secure network with a password and is not let me in but I can connect to an open network with no password??? anybody can help???

    AirPort card in iMac G4 does not support strong WiFi encryption.
    I think WPA is the maximum for that WiFi card.
    If you have WPA2 in your WiFi network, you need to downgrade (not recommended)or wired connect the iMac G4.

  • IPad only connects to home Wi-Fi network when iMac is on and connected????

    Since I got my iPad on launch date I've had problems with the Wi-Fi connection. It can always find my home network with a strong signal, and with a bit of trial and error i have discovered that it will only connect to my home network when I switch my iMac on.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Andy

    I have a similar issue with wifi. My home wifi is a strong signal but my iPad fails to automatically connect to it all the time and insists on staying on 3G. Weirdly if I go into system preferences and look at the wifi it says Not Connected, as soon as I click on it my wifi shows up and I can select it and it connects without issue and shows full strength. Why does it not auto connect ? It did when I first bought the iPad.
    At work it always tries to connect to my office wifi as soon as I turn it on.

  • HT5278 I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1   Now I no longer will connect to the network when away from Wifi.  Also, I am not able to connect to some of my Aps (Instagram being one).

    I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1.  The phone no longer connects to the 4G networks when I am away from WiFi.  Also, some of my Aps no longer work....Instagram being one.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.
