Correct network name, correct password but no connection: Connect an ipod touch to a hidden WPA2 personal network (in Japan)

I am in Japan now and am trying to connect to a hidden wpa2 personal enabled network.
I cannot connect even with the correct network name and password: on the Wi-fi section in Settings, the busy wheel keeps going round and round next to the network name (which I have entered) and never actually connects...
Other advice on the internet tells me how to connect, but does not address this problem.
My PC connects just fine. Is there anything I can do for my ipod touch (4th gen)? Or should I simply give up?
Changing up the network (i.e. unhiding it, resetting the router, etc.) is not an option, unfortunately.
Any help will be appreciated!
I'll be here for a few weeks (and will come here again) so I'm ready to try different solutions.

Well I just checked out my network settings and I don't even have a sercurity on my network so I guess that isn't my problem. Unless I'm doing something wrong. I'm wondering if my router is simply to old for the new update.

  • My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

    My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

    Welcome to the support community group.
    First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
    Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
    First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop.  Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back  for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power.  Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
    Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop.  Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility.  Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
    Check back if you're still having problems.

  • I can't activate my iPad and I'm sure i am using the correct apple id and password but when i press net it says it cannot be used to unlock this iPad

    i can't activate my iPad and I'm sure i am using the correct apple id and password but when i press net it says it cannot be used to unlock this

    You can try to figure out which Apple ID/email address and/or password you used to activate it by going to http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't, you'll need to contact Apple Account Security with your proof of purchase. 

  • Im trying to connect my ipad to my connection at home and its taking the password but still wont connect and doesnt tell me why.i even tried to reset network settings

    im trying to connect my ipad to my connection at home and its taking the password but still wont connect and doesnt tell me why?? .i even tried to reset network settings

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, my guess is that it's a router issue.  You'll need to get administrative access to the router and determine if it has a firewall.  If one is present, turn it off and test the iPad.  If that solves the problem, don't leave it that way.  Turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test again.  Repeat as required.
    For what it's worth, a router firewall can stop iPad communication without affecting computer communication.  I do not understand why the difference.
    Edit...
    I just saw the post from Diavonex.  An off/on is certainly worth a shot.  Leave it off for ten seconds.

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • I changed my Airport Extreme network name and password, now I can't access my Airport Express speakers.  Help please.

    I changed the network name and password associated with my Airport Extreme and now my system is not recognizing my Airport Express speakers.
    Can someone help me get my speakers and sound system back online?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    You will need to think in reverse here.
    Change the network name and password back to where it was on the AirPort Extreme and get things working that way.
    Then, change the name and password on one AirPort Express, then the second. Both Expresses will be blinking amber at this time. Power them off.
    Now, change the name and password on the AirPort Extreme.
    Power up both Expresses and they will now join the AirPort Extreme network correctly since you have programmed them with the new network name and password.

  • MFP 1217nfw How to Change Network Name and Password When You Buy a New Routers

    I have an MFP 1217nfw.  It was working fine wirelessly.  Then my router stopped working properly.  I bought a new router and easily set up my computers, iPad and iPhones to work with it.  But I don't know how to change the printer set up so that it will see and connect to the new router (i.e., change the network name and password that the printer uses to connect).  Anyone know how to do this without having to uninstall and reinstall the printer as if it were fresh out of the box?  Thanks for your help.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

    How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?  My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings.  Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password? 

    Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

  • My iPad email says incorrect user name or password but it has always worked as it is set up

    My iPad mail is not receiving mail. It says incorrect user name or password but it is the same as it has been since I got my iPad. The server connection is ok as I can get email through the internet.

    Hi Barry,
    This is a little odd, so from what you've said nothing has changed at all on your iPad?
    Are you able to access your email account via webmail, for example I have a GMAIL account and can access this via www.gmail.com if so can you login there using the expected credentials?
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Update 10.5.8 Wireless will not remember WPA2 Network Name and Password

    After updating to 10.5.8 last night my wireless will not remember the WPA2 Personal - Network Name and Password between boots. I have to re-enter it each time I restart my MacBook (Intel Core 2 duo). I am running WiFi 802.11A and never had this problem in the two years I have owned this mac. [Going a different 802.11 frequency is not a fix].
    Anyone else having this type of problem?
    Comment: These OS X updates are annoying because seems that some standard common feature stops working for awhile (until the next fix).

    I was having the exact same problem after the update too, and I tried everything that all of these posts recommended and nothing.
    It wasn't until I deselected the option on the network preferences for "Ask to join networks", it mentions that it will connect to known networks, so as long as its saved it should remember it.
    And Voila! next time I opened my macbook from sleep it connected to the WPA (which even happened to be a hidden one too).
    I hope this helped because sometimes it doesn't have to be so complicated...

    I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
    I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

    You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
    If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.
