I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

I cannot retrieve my password for using IMessaging on my laptop?

Hi,
In Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts you should see the iMessage account listed ?
Is the "Enable this Account" box ticked ?
If not will it let you ?
If that does not work what happens when you use the Sign Out button then re-enter your Apple ID details and password ?
In the past I have created @mac.com names to work with iChat
To create more then the linked emails I used to create them I removed the linked email so that I now have some @mac.com names that are not emails and they cannot be verified.
Does this sound similar to your situation ?
It is late where I am and it will be some time (many hours) before I get back to any new replies.

Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
Suggest you give that a try.

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.

The "TDMS Open" node does more than open a file handle, it will load meta data (including file/group/channels' properties) and create index structures in ram for fast accessing any raw data in TDMS file. Thus, my advice is:
1) You can save the efforts to write sub-VIs to preload properties of a TDMS file at least, since they are already kept in memory after the file is opened.
2) Since index structures are presented, the performance to read data of any part in a tdms file will not be affected by the file size and the read performance might already satisfy your application. You can have a try.

How do I get my iPhone 5 to recognize the correct password for my wifi connection?

All of a sudden, my iPhone dropped my WiFi connection and now will no longer connect when I choose "other," and enter the network name and password. I receive the message, "Incorrect password for *******." My iMac and 2 iPads have no trouble remaining connected to my WiFi network.

Howdy msmedia,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your iPhone dropped the Wi-Fi connection to your network, and it cannot find the network, nor join it if you manually type in the SSID. To start troubleshooting this issue, I'd like you to please follow the steps outlined below.
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
TapSettings > Wi-Fiand turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed,follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
TapSettings > Wi-Fiand locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
TapandForget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your deviceto the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations,install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Verify that the network is available by tappingSettings > Wi-Fiand choosing from the available networks.Note:It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learnhow to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find outwhich standardsyour device supports3.
Reset network settings by tappingSettings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.Note:This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tappingSettings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.Note:This will reset all network settings including:

IPhone 5 won't connect to wifi since update to iOS7-says incorrect password. It seems to have forgotten the password to two wifi locations I use daily. When I enter the passwords manually, I get message "Incorrect password for ......(network name)"

I reviewed another post on the support community that initally appeared to cover this topic. That question was replied to, and the person was referred to apple support pages that detail how to get one's iphone to link with wifi (turn off device, reboot router, go to iphone settings->wifi->click "i" next to your problem network and select "forget this network").... How do I select "forget this network"- it's not even an option (maybe it would be IF I could get the iPhone to connect to the network, but then I wouldn't need this question answered...)
I have multiple other computers (Macbook Air, iMac 2011, and PCs), as well as new iPad (also recently updated to iOS7) and my wife's iPhone 4S (running iOS6), all of which have no problem connecting to our networks (and no access passwords have been changed). Only my iPhone 5 seems to be left out in the cold. The iPhone 5 "finds" the networks, but will not accept correct access passwords as "correct", therefore cannot actually connect to password-secured wi-fi networks (at least the two I use daily- therefore I assume this problem would follow me elsewhere I might attempt to access a PW-protected network such as WPA/WPA2, etc).
Any ideas where to turn next, or is anyone else having similar problems? Thank you-

Hi, Troy5.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

Help! I just downloaded IOS 7, and had to download from itunes...however ow whe nI put in my password for my wifi connection...it doesn't accept it....how do I change the password? How do I access my wifi connection again????

Please give me simple directions to reset a password to m wifi choice...since I downloaded the new updates for IOS7, yesterday! My ipad was frozen, had to go to Itunes to restore it, after it was restored, I went to go on my wifi .....and it won't accept my password...nor will it allow me to make up a new psassword....now what do I do??

The correct password is printed on the route's label.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

TS1398 I can't update the password for my WiFi on my iPad

Our WiFi passwords are updated quarterly at work, but I can't update the password on my iPad. On my phone I can "forget this network" and then enter the new password, but this option ins't avaiable for my iPad. I've tried resetting all network settings 3 times and that isn't working either. Needless to say I'm very frustrated. It should be easy and seamless to update wifi passwords. Please help!

See this Apple Support Document.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728?viewlocale=en_US
Under the heading of Under what circumstances will I need to do a reset, pay close attention to the information discussed under a Soft Reset.

HT4623 where do you find the password for a WiFi Network ?

Trying to update Iphone4 to IOS7 using Itunes. Cannot use phone, it is asking for my Wi Fi network password. I have Wi Fi Net work name but where do I find the Wi Fi network password?

Ask the owner of the network what the password is.

HT204085 why do I have to re-type the password for each item, like contacts, messages etc. every time I restart the computer?

Every time I start up the computer I get a pop up to type in my keychain password for each item. One for contacts and again for messages etc. Why do I have to do this every time at startup?

I work in an area where we use T one lines for internet. I do have an iphone and am able to get on the internet on it. Will I be able to get on the internet with an IPAD 3 that I have recently purchased.

I work in a company that has only t one connection for internet. There is no interet srvice provided in this area. I do however have and Iphone three and have no trouble getting on the internet with it. Will it be the same for the IPAD 3 that I just purchased?? Want to be able to use the IPAD 3 at work and get on the interent and if I can on the Iphone 3 I'm hoping the IPAD 3 will also. Any thoughts?

Either your phone is getting on wifi or you're using the cellular network to access the internet. If it's wifi, then you just need to connect the iPad to the same wifi. If you're using the phone's cellular connection to access the net, then you'll either need to get a tethering plan to use your phone as a mobile hotspot for your iPad, or get a device like the Mifi, which is a portable cellular wifi hotspot

My 3000H will no longer connect to the internet via my cable modem - help please.

I have 3 computers and a media server on a Linksys router with a Comcast cable modem. Everything AOK. 3 weeks ago my Lenovo 3000H shut down and rebooted for no reason. Then I began getting popups while I was on the internet saying that I needed to click on a button to make a dial-up connection. I would hit X or Cancel to make it go away. It happend more frequently and other related popups started, but I could close them and continue normally. Last weekend It happened again but I lost my connection to the internet and it would not reconnect. Now I get a big error message "Connecting through Wan Miniport(PPPOE)... Error 815: The broadband netowrk connection could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding. This could be caused by and invalid value for the "Service Name" field for this connection. Please contact your ISP and inquire about the correct value for this field and update it in the Connection Properties..
I called Comcast. They don't have a clue what Error 815 is. I have changed every cable, rebooted the modem, router and all computers countless times, and reset the modem per Comcast. I have taken the router out and connected directly into the Lenovo. I have gone through every screen related to broadband connection to no avail although, being a beginner, I see screens that I have no clue what they do.I have a couple of friends and a Comcast fellow who tried to walk me through the steps they thought would restore my connectio. No luck.
Can anyone walk me through the necessary steps to get me back to ground zero and then through the steps to reestablish my broadband connection?
Help Please?

Emma-
In Safari, press on the Bookmarks icon and select History. Then press on Clear History at the top of that menu, and see it there is any improvement.
If not, try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.
Fred
