What router are you using? make/model/version
What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.

However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately.

Unable to update older ipad (model MB292LL) to ios 6 - when checking for update msg says ios 5.1.1 and is already up to date.

That is correct.
You have an original iPad.
iOS 5.1.1 is the end of the line - that is the latest iOS that model can use.

Recently changed my password for mail, can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password and saying it's incorrect. Totally confused.

I Recently changed the password for mail, on iMac. I can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password, then telling me it's incorrect. Totally confused.

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for

Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

I'm trying to install the os x but I got the point where its's asking for "administrator password". How do I get that password?

That password should be the one you used on the system *before* you do the upgrade.
If you got the computer used from someone else, you need to get in touch with them and get the password.

I am trying to print from my Apple IPad to my Inkjet 2542 printer, it asks for a password put

I am trying to print from my Apple IPad to my Inkjet 2542 printer, it asks for a password when my printer is found, not sure what to put

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Assuming you have installed your printer onto your home wireless network, your iPad Application is asking for your Wireless passphrass / password to your network.
Reference: HP Deskjet 2540 series User Guide
See Page 49
=====================================
Take a look at the following:
Add Device to Printer
You need the first part for Printer Software for your printer and you need "An App for That" in the Mobile printing section where you complete Steps 1-2-3.
Skip all the parts in the middle having to do with ePrint and HP Connected -- your printer does not have ePrint so you don't need to worry about any of that.

When attempting to reset my password using the Install disc, I can't get into the system since I am asked for my password when I initiate the disc. What now?

I lost my MAC password and was advised to use the "MAC" install disc. With the "install disc" installed, I initiate the program and it asks for my "password" to continue. What do I do now since I am unable to offer the correct password. Sure would like to discuss this with a computer expert. I am really frustrated since I can't update programs due to the lost password?

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.

To connect to my thomson internet it is now asking for a password which i do not know

Contact the administrator of the router/internet connection. It is not an iPod issue.

Unable to download apps to my iphone 3. Click buy, asks for my password, then goes back to buy.

Hi, Unload to download any apps to my phone. Click buy/free. Then click Install. asks for my password which I input. Then goes back to Buy/Free.
Have updated my phone to latest iOS. Have tried Hard Reset. Can anyone please help. Thank you.

Try a couple of these things and see if you have any success.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

After downloading Firefox, the ADMINISTRATOR box comes up - and although I am the registered Administrator it is asking for a password I have never entered. What do I do to 'run' Firefox?

I had Firefox 8 set as my preferred web search. I think I pressed something on the toolbar because most of it disappeared and I couldn't get it back - even after rebooting. So I deleted Firefox and re-loaded it. Although it downloads, now it wont 'run' as a box comes up stating 'current user' 'administrator'. I bought my laptop brand new, and am the administrator - it says so on my login details . . . but I have never entered a password for this, and the password for 'Administrator' does not match any that I use. What is wrong here? How do I get Firefox to 'run'?
PS. I am not a confident computer user, being new to the technology (Yes I'm old!)

I tried to update firefox and I got the "run as administrator" even though I am the only user on a personal desktop. I read other posts on this site and it advised to uninstall and reinstall. Now I can't install firefox period. Everytime I try, again it's with "run as administrator."

TS2621 Cannot send emails from my iPad hotmail account. I can receive but not send. I get message"unable to send email"

This just started out of the blue today. I get a message saying email cannot be sent.

I have done everything in the link TechMastr suggested. I can not send a hotmail message from any of my I-devices. I thought it might be just my accounts, but tried my husband's device as well. This includes things not connected to wi-fi and on 3G. Could it be hotmail? It is so frustrating.

My i touch wont let me in the itunes store. Keeps asking for my password.

How do I turn off the Log In Screen that asks for my Password?

I recently installed FCP 6 on my MBP, and ever since then when I turn my computer on from being shut down, it ask me for my password before loading up.
It used to not do this, but now it does. I don't have a password set, so I just hit enter and it loads, but I would like for it to go back to where it doesn't ask for the password.
Where is this setting at? All I can find is the "set password from sleep". Thanks for the help.

System Preferences -> Accounts panel -> Login Options -> click the lock and enter admin password -> click to select your accountname in left pane -> select that accountname to login automatically.
