Invalid Password on wifi..

I have a PB G4 15" and I can not get it it to go wifi I have an older PB G4 that goes on with absolutly no problem. The message I get is invalid pasword, and it is not! I have done the $ and deleted from keychain (not administrative though? is that necessary?). Nothing has changed it. It is a WEP Personal password, is this a problem? If it is why isn't it a problem for the other PB? My iphone always finds and signs on, two other lap tops, PC sign on with no issues... What is the deal with this one PB ?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
It is a WEP Personal password, is this a problem?
No.
Open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilties)
Your Airport hardware should be in the source list on the left.
Click Continue bottom right of the pane.
Select: I want to change some of the settings for this Airport Express (or whichever Airport hardware you are using), then click Continue.
Click: Change these settings
Delete the AirPort Password and type in new, then select: Remember this password in my keychain
Now see if you can connect...
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash.

Macbook Pro wifi invalid password problem

Have a strange problem with my MacBook wifi connection in that everytime I connect my MacBook Pro to the wifi router it requires a WPA2 password. I type in the password to join only to be told it is an invalid password, however, if I keep repeatedly clicking on the submit button (between 3 and 11 times) it eventually accepts the password and connects to the wifi - I've tried deleting the network and then adding, have deleted the password and reentered it in the keychain.
If I put the MacBook to sleep for any length of time then restart it, once again it forgets the password and I have to go through the whole ritual again.
I'm not having any problems with my iPad, iPhone and recently purchased Nexus 7 (sorry Apple but I need StreetView & YouTube) which all automatically connect.
This issue has been going on for months now. As for OS Lion, well it was running 10.7.4 but I updated it today to 10.7.5 to see if that fixes the problem but it's had no effect.
The MacBook connects flawlessly at home so am not sure what is causing the grief.
Anyone have a clue what is causing this and how to fix it.

Wifi invalid password

I bought a new macbook pro a few days ago and it won't connect to my main wifi. I have two routers in my house connected to each other and i can connect to the secondary router with no worries but it will always say "invalid password" whenever i connect to my main router. I have tried accessing my router settings and trying out a different encryption. It was originally WPA-PSK and i've tried changing it to WPA2-PSK, still no avail. I have also tried changing the password, no luck. So the only way i've got it to work is by turning of encryption completely and having an unprotected router. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

The first thing I would do is go up to the Right click it and scroll down to your Network and select it and make sure that your network has the check by it.
Using 2 Routers can be a problem if they are not set up correctly. The Main Router off of the Internet Service Providers Modem should be your Main Router if they are set up Wireless make sure the 2nd Router is not set up to Distribute the IP the first one and main one will be set up to do theis the 2nd one is not this will allow you to extend your network.
WHen you select the Main Router Make sure your settings are like the picture.

Macbook wifi invalid password

I made a hotspot using a WiFi receiver with a program called Connectify just today.
I use USB wifi stick connected to my PC that gets the Internet via LAN connection.
I have noticed that only my iPad and iPhone are able to connect to it.
The MacBook just says "invalid password" when I know for a fact that it is correct.
I've never been able to connect to it. I have already deleted WiFi and made a different one without result.
The mac version is 10.9.1

    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

Macbook Pro - "Invalid Password" problem with home Wifi

Hi folks,
As of 5 days ago...my MBP refuses to connect to my wifi at home. It constantly returns a "invalid password" response.
It has been connecting to this same wifi network for years, and nothing has been updated or changed on the network settings.
My iPhone and non-Mac computer can connect without trouble.
The MBP can connect to OTHER wifi networks, no problem.
As per here: Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
I deleted all existing networks and re-started, but issue remains. This wifi uses a WPA2 password.
Something must be corrupted / broken on my MBP...but I can't seem to "start from scratch" to get my wifi working again. Extremely furstrating. Liek I said, my other devices can connect wirelessly without issues.

    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.

ATV2 wifi invalid password message

Hi I have an ATV 2 that I bought a couple months ago. At the time I was using Qwest DSL with a Linksys wrt400 dual band wireless router and the ATV worked fine despite the poor signal from Qwest. Recently I switched to comcast and now when I attempt to connect the ATV to the same Linksys router I receive a message saying invalid password. I've tried connecting after disabling the router security, changing the passwords, changing the router channels, and did a reset as well. We have an imac, several pc's, an ipad, itouches, iphones, and a blackberry that all connect with no problem but no success with the ATV. What am I missing?

Invalid password for what?

Can't connect to password protected wifi with the correct password.

So, here's the deal. I have a program on my Mac called Self Control. It's a program that allows you to block all access to either the entire internet or a select amount of websites that you choose from, for a specific time. I had it going today, and got so impatient that I decided to search on Google to see if there was a way to get around it, which I thought would be fruitless. Turns out I found out how to do it. I went to Date & Time Preferences and manually changed the date to after the specified time that the Self Control program was to go to. It worked, and tricked the program into believing the time was over. Happy me. But then, my computer automatically booted me off of my college roommates wifi, which is Apple Airport. I was like, "Weird, okay." So I tried connecting back to the wifi. As it should, it asked for the password, and I confirmed it with my roommate. Every single time I try to connect with the correct password, it keeps saying invalid password. I changed the date back to the correct date, and it still does this. Have any ideas on how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

installing the package "network-manager-applet" allowed for the menu to properly work. I didn't realize that it wasn't even installed until I tried your
$nm-connection-editor
and realized that it wasn't a command on my system.
Silly me.

Airport keeps giving me the message that I entered an invalid password for my wireless network.

When I use network preferences to connect wirelessly to my wifi home network and enter the correct password that works on my iPad and other computers, I keep getting the message that I entered an invalid password. I have checked my keychain and made certain the correct password in saved there. Any suggestions?

It is asking for your security phrase not the router's password, in case you are entering the wrong password. If you are sure you are entering the correct phrase, you can reset your router to factory defaults then set up your security again.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Cannot Connect to Home Network - Invalid Password

I moved to a new home which required a new password. I can connect my android devices to the passport wireless device just fine. I attempted to connect the passport device to my home network and I immediately receive the message "Invalid Password" and a split second later this message pops up " Attention, your request is currently being processed". I am entering in the correct password. I tried entering in an incorrect password and it shows the image that its attempting to connect and it takes about 15 seconds for me to get the "invalid password" message. Will I have to factory reset my device? I want to avoid this at all costs since I did this before and ended up needing to get a replacement passport device. Please help.

Okay, try these steps. Pictures would help, but I don't have time. Connect your Android device directly to the MPW via WiFi.Tap the menu (three bars) in the top left corner.Tap settings.Tap the name of your MPW just below the "My Passport Wireless" heading.Scroll down to the "Wi-Fi" section, and tap that. What you see here may vary from what I do a bit, as my MPW is connected to my home WiFi network. If you see your home Wi-Fi network name below the heading "Connect to Internet", then;Tap the blue "i" in a circle at the right of the name.Tap the "Forget This Network" item. If you don't get the blue "i" in a circle, which you probably wont, then I think you need to do need to do a manual System Only Reset, as per page 47 of the manual. What I'm thinking is that when you moved house, you kept the same SSID (wireless network name) on your wireless router, but changed the password. Is that correct? If so, the problem is that the MPW remembers your old network, and the old password, and keeps trying to connect using that information. Hence the above instructions to "forget" that network, at which time you can start again in setting up the MPW connection to your home wireless network. An alternative would be to change the wireless password on your wireless router back to what it was when the MPW was still able to connect, back at your old house. Still another alternative would be to change the SSID on your wireless router, and set up the MPW to connect to this "new" wireless network. Both those alternatives require a bit of work on your home wireless network, and require changes on all devices which use the network; either just a password change back to the old one, or both a password and network name (SSID) change. Both are more work than resetting the MPW. If you do reset the MPW, don't forget to also update it to the latest firmware, as I believe that a reset puts the original, as delivered firmware on to the MPW. If none of the above helps, I think you need to raise a support ticket with WD.

I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects. What am I missing? Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

Error: Invalid Password when trying to sign in on any wireless devise

Error: Invalid Password when trying to sign in on any wireless devise
I even reinstalled my WRT110 to be sure of the Network Name and Password but I still get this error. I have never been able to log in to the wireless network. I can see it - Ienter my password and still "Invalid Password"

I don't understand this: Connect directly to the router. Is this the http://192.168.1.1?
I HAVE changed the network name, I HAVE changed the password.
I still get invalid password!!!
I am extremely frustrated by all this. I need simple instructions. I followed them when I set the friggin thing up, I reinstalled. I know what my friggin password is - why why why?

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?
