I seem to have to enter all my network settings each login

I'm new to Apple TV and had make several attempts to set-up all the settings. Today I had to re-enter all the details again . Is this usual? Also my Photo's Lobrary seems to take forever to load. Connection speed in this part of UK is slow but I am only streaming from my iMac to ATV2. Any help or advice guys?

It sounds like you must have created an open wireless network that anybody can join. You should be able to easily remedy the situation by properly configuring your network by enabling the WPA2 security feature at a minimum so that a passord is required to join the network.
What type of network equipment do you have? If you have an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule the Airport Utility software provided by Apple makes the setup quite easy. The Airport utility can be found in the Applications/Utilities folder. If you have equipment from another vendor just Google WPA2 followed by the vendor make and model info. There are usually plenty of others that have created helpful guides.

Why do I have to enter all security info to download a free app AFTER I enter my ID?

Downloadinf a FREE equalizer app and enter my Apple ID. The icon appears on my screen, then I'm "told" I have to enter all of my security info for the download to actually occur.
TextFree assigns me a phone number just by downloading the app; why would a free music EQ require all of my info?

Ok I can understand the reason for additional security but the questions!!!!! When was I first kissed, which is my least favoutie car, what was the first album I owned. I have no idea yet I'm required to enter answers for storage and recall later.
I suppose people are sad enough to remember all this - my password app is bulging already
Why not allow people to add their own questions from their associated Mac
Yes i can put fictitious answers on the iphone but i'm less likely to remember these

I seem to have used up all my broadband (huge amount) very quickly with my iphone - is there anything in the settings of my iphone that I may have set up incorrectly to make this happen ? As cannot see it is possible to use this much.

I seem to have used up all my wi-fi broadband extremely quickly (I have huge broadband limit) using my iphone, and not sure if I have something incorrectly set up in the settings of my iphone that has allowed this to happen? Any ideas? Haven't been watching any movies or downloading anything major.

Hickeysm,
Do you mean your the download limit set by your Internet Service Provider for all broadband use? Or the data allowance from your phone network provider for your iPhone?
If you mean the phone contract's data allowance, I have a similar problem. I had a message from O2 yesterday to say I've used 80% of my monthly data allowance, which is very unusual for me. I may have found the cause which is that my iPhone is reluctant to connect to Wifi, and when it does, no data moves; so it's been accessing data with 3G. Nothing wrong with my wifi (iPad and iMac connect without problems).
I'm suspecting the iOS 5.1 update. Has anyone else had similar problems since taking it?

My billing address is correct, but the i keep getting that my security code is incorrect and can't download apps. I have re-entered all of my information in my account, but still get error message. How to over-ride?

If you have American Express, your 4-digit security code is on the front. If you have VISA or MasterCard, your 3-digit security code is outside the signature block on the back of your credit card. It happens to me also.

I seem to have lost the All Mail facility in my email boxes. How can I restore this.have a feelin the grandchildren played with it.

That is strange. As far as I know, the "All Mail" facility is unique to Gmail and Gmail-based mail accounts, and it cannot be removed from those accounts.
Are you in fact using a Gmail account?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have recently erased all content and settings on my iPad2 and performed a restore from both icloud backup and iTunes. On both occasions I am missing some photos. It tells me I am downloading 1641 photos but only does 903 starting at no.738

I have recently erased all content and settings on my iPad2 and performed a restore from both icloud backup and iTunes. On both occasions I am missing some photos. It tells me I am downloading 1641 photos but actually only starts downloading from photo 738, only giving me 903 photos. where have the first 737 photos gone? Can anyone help

I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Can I erase all prior network settings and start from scratch?

I have an imac i3- I had transferred everything from my imac core 2 duo onto (including settings) whenever I got a new computer i transferred everything including settings.
I have been having problems with internet access- pages stall, it will often take a few minutes for a page to fully load, if I open a second window- both windows stall. This occurs with safari or firefox.
I have time warner wideband.
Time warner has been out twice, changed modems- checked all lines- they even connect their laptop (windows) and the pages load very fast, multiple windows- no problems- the internet is actually faster on my ipad connected wirelessly.
After going to the genius bar- they did a hardware test- everything is ok, they went in and found many settings imported from as far back as 2003. they deleted the old "locations" settings in the network preferences and this improved things right away at the store- they recommended a full system restore without restoring the system settings if the problem wasn't completely fixed.
The question I have- is there a way to do this without backing everything up, re-installing osx and then recovering my backed up files? can I delete all the network settings alone somehow?
Thanks

Hi
Are you looking in the /Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder by any chance? The home folder is the one with the house icon. If you are then you're looking in the wrong folder. Double-click your hard drive icon and you should see a list of folders. If you view by list or column you should see the top level Library folder below the Applications folder. This is where you should be looking.

Itunes Seems to Have Lost Almost all of my music - what to do?

Hello out there,
As best as I can recollect the events: I believe when I was loading a cd onto my itunes when a permission came up to download the new Itunes program, and I said OK to giving it access to the key chain, and then I went to open up another song on my music lest and Itunes couldn't find them.
I went to my find file, and it can't find the tunes by name of artist or album. I imported the .xml file into itunes, didn't seem to do anything. I consolidated the library, and
got little exclamation points next to each song, I went into the xml file and found that some of the songs that were missing were located in Users/myname/.Trash/.Itunes/.ItunesMusic,
but most were supposed to be on my backup drive.
I rigged up my Itunes to save my music on the back up drive as I have an older G4 and didn't want to run out of space.
When I search both my backup and my computer for mp3 files only a few come up that seem to have been saved in random places. Most of them are not found.
Nothing seems to have been put in the trash recently.
However when I go to the Itunes library file it says I have 5.9 mb of info on it.
So I am wondering where that is and if its all inaccessible now or what to do next?
Thanks for your help!

I don't know if iTunes lost my music or that a "helpful" boyfriend of my niece lost my music when is was trying to "fix" a problem. In any case all my music is erased from my hard drive ann now I have over 2500 song on my iPod and no way to get the songs back to my new library. Can anyone help or do I have start over?

My albums seem to have come apart and are listed for each individual song in some cases how do I get them back together , In some cases only one or two songs have been seperated from the album.

In Itines my albums seem to have seperated and instead of all the songs being listed under the one Album nake the same album name has a few here and then again another few. All the sings are there but if I play an Album I only get somoe of the songs. Is there a way of putting them back together without repoading them from scratch?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

TS3988 why do i have to enter my apple id password each time i use my phone

I recently backed up my phone to icloud while it was NOT plugged into anything, now I have to enter my appleID password each time I try to send a message! What happened?

You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

Have to manually connect to network after each restart?

When I turned my PB on it would always automatically connect to my home wireless network (after I'd entered the password etc. of course). But now I have to manually select the network everytime I turn it on - I've played with a few settings to no avail and this problem does not occur with other networks that I've joined (at my folks for example). It's not a biggie but I'm scratching my head and it's just a little frustrating. Any ideas? Cheers

Hi,
When I put the computer to sleep... it comes back on with the network I had on before. When I shut it down and restart it, I have to select the one I want... as it can see my neighbors network and on occasion one farther away. If there is only the one, and it's yours with the known password, there is one choice. My daughter brings her laptop over to use my Hi-Speed, and the first time I put in the password... now it goes to it all by itself when she is here, if the neighbors is not on, it's automatic. Otherwise, she too has to select which network she wants to join.
Fewer options are better, otherwise too many choices and you have to tell the Mac what you want today.
Enjoy

The keyboard on my iphone is messed up and I can't type normally I have to turn my keyboard to the side. I updated my phone to the new update and I have to enter all my passwords all over again, how can I do this on the computer or avoid it all together?

I would like to either enter my passwords on my phone over the computer or avoid doing it at all. Is there anyway I can do that? Like I said my keyboard is messed up and I have to turn my phone to the side to use the keyboard, but entering in the passwords the phone wont turn to the side. Help!!!!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
There is no option to enter the password on the computer.
If the screen will not rotate, ensure that Portrait Lock is not enabled.

Although I have cookies saving enable when I restart the application I have to enter all log in details again. How can actually make it to use the stored cookies?

Having the option to save cookies and all other stuff already enabled, I log on into several sites (e.g. gmail).
When for some reason I restart the app, the website prompts me to fill in my log in details again. The strange thing is that on my desktop PC, it appears to have exactly the same settings however in that case saving or using the saved cookies actually works.
Might that be an Ubuntu problem? I do not know. But some profile settings are being reseted any time I open the app.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try clearing your Cookies for the affected websites. 
Tools > Options -> Privacy - Cookies = Show Cookies ''button'' 
Enter the domain in the Search bar at the top and all the Cookies for that URL will appear. Unless you can figure out which Cookie is for "remember me", you'll need to delete them all.
Hold the {Ctrl} key while you click on each Cookie in the small window. When that list is all highlighted, click the Remove Cookie ''button'' in the lower left. 
When you are done click Close.
If that problem persists, you might need to delete the __cookies.sqlite__ file in your Profile folder.

Connect your iphone to your computer
Hold down the home button and the power button until the screen goes blank
Turn back on your phone.
Your phone has seemed to enter recovery mode, but its ok! The steps above should bring it out
