I've forgotten my Wi-Fi password for a network set-up years ago and am trying to include a new iMac on the same network. How can I do this?
I've forgotten my wi-fi password for a home network set-up years ago on a Powerbook. I'm now trying to add a new iMac to the same network so I can have 2 hooked up. How can I retrieve my password for the network I created or can I set-up a new one? I did try the latter, but it didn't seem to work on the new iMac for some reason. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
HI, Welcome to the Forums...
The password may be stored in your keychain on the system you set up the original PowerBook.
Run KeyChain access in the utilities filder and see if you have a Airport base station password entry, from this you can reveal the password.
Regards,
Shawn

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

Hi Don ...
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing. -
I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?
Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone. The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted. This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone. -
Every time I send a photo it sends with "For Review Only" on the photo. How can I remove this so my recipient gets a good quality photo?
If you used the Apple Professional Training Series 'Aperture 3' book, then this was in lesson #1 which had you set the 'Image Export' preset for the 'Email Medium - JPEG' to 25% of Original Size and to add a watermark (which happens to be the PSD file that overlays the image with 'For Review Only').
You can fix this by going to 'Aperture menu > Presets > Image Export...' and selecting the 'Email Medium - JPEG' preset and then deselecting the 'Show Watermark' option.
Note - you can also reset the 'Percentage of Original' field to %100 to get back to the defaults.
If you did not use the APTS - Aperture 3 book mentioned above, then I am not sure where you got the watermark. -
My daughter has an ipod touch with free texting, she received an inappropriate mssg and I would like to delete it and download it again to receive a new number. when I download the new app it gives her the same number? can i do this?
Have you tried the developer's support web site? Withut you providing the name of the app makes it very hard for us to give specific recommendations. The only one that i can thin of is to purchase the app using a diffeent iTunes account.

I have windows xp. I 'm trying to download the airPort utility. how can I do this? It is required for AirPort base station right?
Downloading the right file for XP? Check to make sure that you are running XP SP3.
AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows
AirPort Utility is required if you need to set up or change the settings on an Apple AirPort router. It is not required if you are simply connecting to the wireless network from a PC. -
I am trying to update my ipad 2 but it keeps telling me that it isn't eligible for the requested build how can i fix this problem
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

I just bought 3 memberships for adobe creative cloud with the same ID, how can I install each membership in 3 different computers.
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
You have CC for individual purchased which can be activated on two machines by the same Adobe ID.
How ever if you want to use it on more than two machine, you can cancel this order & buy the creative cloud for Team, in which you can buy the number of seats & assign them to as many user you would like to.
Each user can activate it two times with 100GB of space as compared to 20 GB space for CC for individual.

when i ask for Authorizeed computer i got the message " make sure your computer' date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes stores " how can i solve this problem please .
Ok, so I just worked out that itunes communicates through your browser so it's a cookie in the browser not PC direct that fixes this. Bit of a convoluted route but for me it was IE>Internet setting>privacy>sites, then allow all activity from apple.com/itunes.

For some reason when I plug my ipod into my comp itunes freezes but my ipod says it is plugged and when I plug it into a different comp it works. How can I fix this?
Setesh, See if both computer has the same version of iTunes, if both are the same, then it is your PC, that has plug-ins which is in conflict it iTunes. ( normally it is the Antivirus or some plug-ins to beautify your screen)
If it is different, most likely the other PC has an older version of iTunes, so you should downgrade your iTunes to that older version, which your iPod interface well with.
Other probable causes,
you are using the USB 1.1 port at the front of your PC, and not the USB2,0 port at the back of your PC. so switch to the back.
Dont use any other USB devices, when you are syncing the iPod.
Dont use any USH Hub.
Have a nice day! -
My brother lost his ipod touch 64g 2 years ago and I set everything up for him. And he found it in his truck and he doesn't remember the password lock.
Restore using the same computer that was previously used for sync.
If that's not practical, restore with any computer but don't expect to save any of the apps, music, etc. -
For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working. They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing. I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
I see others have this issue too.
If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it? Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012. The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?sematson wrote:

For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual. If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store.
