IPhone/iTouch "password not correct" messages using WRT54GP2 Router

Hi,
My iPhone & iTouch keep dropping off the wireless network and when you select the network from the list of available networks, the Apple's will ask for the password even though they have been set to automatically connect. They then tell you that the password is incorrect. My work Laptop works fine (both home computers are patched directly into the Router). I have upgraded the firmware to 1.30.06 and have enabled MAC Filtering and added their MAC Addresses to the allowed list..
My settings are WPA Pre-Shared Key (Though I have tried WEP), Mixed Wireless Network mode and SSID Broadcast is enabled. I have tried adjusting the Wireless channel up & down the Frequency band too with no joy.
This problem occurs frequently and the only short term fix I have found is to power cycle the router and they will connect but will then drop off the network within 5 minutes to 3 hours. Please help - my mobile bill is through the roof as a result!

Thanks for the advise. I have reset the router for 30 seconds as part of the firmware upgrade but I have then restored my settings via a backup and as a result may have re inported the problem so I have done a reset again and reinstalled settings from scratch leaving everything possible in a default state but the problem was evident immediately. Thanks for the advise though!
The MAC Filtering set to enabled with no other wireless security has been working beautifully though which suggests to me it is a security protocol compatability issue - but as mentioned I have tried both WEP and WPA Pre shared key.
I'm seriously considering sticking to the MAC Address solution, not ideal but beggars cant be choosers . Is this secure enough - I'm guessing it's probably the most secure configuration, just not very flexible.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

IPhone/iTouch "password not correct" on home WiFi

This problem reads like many others threads but I haven't really seen an answer - Do Apple Employees Administrate these forums??
I have an iTouch and an iPhone 3Gs both now on os4 but this prob has happened through last 3 firmware versions.
They both connect to the home WiFi, but wont remain connected and will ask for the WiFi Password followed by a Password Not Correct message. You can continue to input the password and occasionally it is accepted or you can power cycle the router but both are temp fixes as the Apple's will drop back off again (sometimes minutes later or hours later). I have exhausted my efforts with the router (firmware upgrades and every combination of security setting) Other devices (laptop, wii etc)don't have any WiFi issues. In saying that, the iPhone stays connected to the work WiFi no problems.
I have tried WEP and WPA security. I've enabled MAC Address filtering which didn't help but after reading one of the threads I have disabled WiFi security and have MAC Address filtering enabled and it seems to be holding up (only attempted a couple of hours ago.) Is this a secure workaround or does someone know what I need to do? I'd prefer not to use this method as it's handy to let visiting friends/family use my WiFi.
The router is a Linksys WRT54GP2 and the signal level is high throughout the house and always seen by the Apple's
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
The iPad purchase is next if I can get an answer (a mate has brought his around and had the same problem) - so come on Apple employees, put your heads together!

Yeah you aren't the only one. I have the same router, and my iPod, dads iPhone, and 2 other apple macbooks always had troubles with the router. A temp fix would be restarting the router, but keyword here is temp.
Unfortuantely we cant use custom linux firmware as per http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
My router firmware version is
Firmware Version: 1.30.05
I recall I upgraded from version 1.00 ages back but that did nothing.
Anyway I shall try google around for more solutions, I'll get back to you if there is a fix.

Am trying to subscribe to Hulu Plus But keeping asking your email or password not correct !!! So What is the reason and both is correct ...

Am trying to subscribe to Hulu Plus But keeping asking your email or password not correct !!! So What is the reason and both is correct :(

You have to configure Gmail to allow access to less secure apps. Thunderbird uses the IMAP-protocol, but Google thinks it isn't safe enough.
Go to your browser and login to Gmail. Now click on your profile picture and click Account. Go to the Security tab and click on Settings for Access for less secure apps under Account Permissions. Enable it and Thunderbird should have access to your email...
BTW This is totally safe. There's no need to scratch behind your ear about changing this setting

"Could Not Send Message Using The Server...:

I never have any trouble sending from Apple Mail, except now I am trying to do a mass-mailing for our business. Is there a limit on how many people you can BCC?
For the 1st message I put 200 people in the BCC field, and the message sends fine. Then I setup the another message with the next 200 people, and the send fails. Get a notice that Apple "Could Not Send Message Using The Server SMTPOUT.secureserver.net". And gives me the option of selecting other servers, neither of which work either.
I am curious, are there limits on how many people you can copy on one message?

Most, if not all ISPs and email account providers have similar limits per the following for personal/non-business email accounts as part of an overall effort to eliminate or reduce bulk spam emanating from the ISP's or email account provider's domain.
Any ISP or email account provider that doesn't impose similar limits is helping to contribute to the amount of spam that gets circulated.
.Mac has several safeguards in place to ensure that only .Mac members send messages with the Mac.com outgoing mail server.
Among them are reasonable limitations on:
The number of messages that can be sent each day (200 messages)
The number of recipients that can be sent to each day (400 recipients)
The number of recipients a message can be addressed to at one time (100 recipients)
There is also a 10 MB maximum size for messages sent or received using the .Mac mail system.

Iphone 4 server not responding message

iphone 4 - "server not responding" message is coming up on my wifes ph. can anyone help ?

It sounds as if accessing data via cellular was not working. That could have been for any number of reasons, but she would need to check and see if she is seeing signal for the phone, and that besides the signal strength and carrier name in the upper left corner, she should be seeing 3G or something else. This lets you know you are accessing the data network. It could be poor signal not allowing connection, it could be a bad link that would not allow a website to open, any number of things. If it is still not responding, then try a reset. Hold the sleepwake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if it is working.

Ok, then update your phone to 8.1 and then restore from your backup.

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Apple ID username, password not correct for imessenger ios 6

i just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4 and imessenger is fine to send and receive but when i go to settings and try to register it with my apple ID i get an error that the username and password are not correct, although i am usung the apple ID fine in app store for example. anyone knows what this is?
also, i was wondering, while setting up my iphone after the upgrade to ios 6, in one of teh steps when i started using the phone, it asked for teh apple ID password to do soemthing related to icloud, imessenger and facetime. it also gave the option on the phone screen to "skip this step" which i did, i skiped the stem and thought if i wanted to i can go back and do it manually from the settings any time. i think it was something related to downloading new features for the icloud. i messenger and facetime.
could this have been the case? but i mean if i had the option to "skip the step" it means that it is not something drastic and can always be done manually later.
anyone has feedback?

Hi again, well I can't answer that question, because my computer IS asking for my apple ID and password to install Rosetta Stone. I would have appreciated you taking the time to help me, if you had had any advice for me. Since I posted this, I have found the answer so I don't need your time anymore, however. I eventually went to my settings and SET a password, which solved the problem. I recently reset my computer and all my records had been wiped- I was unaware that my computer settings had deleted my old password which had been saved on it- not realizing that its data would be seperate from the other numerous places I have used it the past week since I got it back. An answer that would seem like a no-brainer, but since it hadn't needed to be done until then for any other previous installs since the reset, it appeared last on my to-do list.

IPhone 4 occasionally not receiving messages from one iPhone 4s

My iPhone 4 Verizon 16 GB is occasionally not recieving messages from my friend's iPhone 4s Verizon 16GB occaisionally for no good reason that I can find.
I have HEAVY experience with iOS and many iDevices, so I can say that I know my way around an iPhone a bit, thats why this is really confusing me, I have tried doing a full factory reset of my iPhone and that didnt help either.
I don't pay for 3G since i use Page Plus Cellular, so when i leave WiFi it switches to text instead of iMessage, her iPhone is the only one that when she replies to my texts occaisionally I will not ever get them. it's getting very annoying once I haven't gotten a reply in a half hour to just send a text saying "resend" all the time... Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

HI Friend,
Try to unsign and sign in again.
For FaceTime and iMessage chosse to use your email address instead of your mobile number.
Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and set your email address.
If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
Turn off Show Subject in Settings>>Message
Reset the Network Setting, which makes your phone to forget every networks and passwords that you connected your phone to.
to reset the Network Settings just go to Settings - General - Reset (at the bottom) - Reset Network Settings.
I remember when I reset the Network Settings, i turned off iMessages. I connected to my home Wi-Fi and surfed the web for a little while. Sent some regular SMS messages, and about 10min later, I turned on iMessages again and sent a text to a friend with an iPhone and it started working as iMessage! Baloons finally became blue.
Go to www.apple.com or Settings>>iCloud then access your Apple ID. There you can edit your information, placing your phone number and tap OK. then go to iMessage settings and mark your phone number to receive iMessages.
Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
Change your address for your currently location. If not works, change it for your native country.
Did you turn on iCloud as well?

Password not correct

I am trying to set up a Jabber account. I know for a fact that the username and password are correct, but it keeps saying that they are not. I've changed the username, deleted the iChat plists, and deleted the keychains for the account. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
iChat allows you to choose to add one of five types of Names.
iChat > Preferences > Accounts > + Button
A slide out/pop up screen appears.
In the middle of this is a Drop down to choose between the three AIM Valid options of AIM, @Mac.com and MobileMe above the line and Jabber of GoogleTalk below the line.
Did you choose Jabber ?
Do you have a another Jabber Client (App) that can login into a Jabber server and does the name work there ?
If So when it has been added to iChat and you go to the Server Settings does it list the Jabber Server you are using as the Server ?
If it lists Auto Discovery for port and Server try it with that off and then try port 5223 with SSL Enabled and 5222 with SSL Off.
If you are using a Google ID from GoogleMail (@Gmail.com or @googlemail.com) you should add it as a GoogleTalk ID in iChat otherwise it will mistakenly pull the gmail.com (or googlemail.com) through as the server.
Other Google IDs that you can get without liking to their Mail Service have Gmail.com as the server but login on port 443.
If you are having issues and think a .plist needs deleting only delete the com.apple.Jabber.plist one
You can use this Users tip to Check the Passwords
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607493
You will have to use another app to log the Screen Name in to check it as most Jabber Servers to not have Web Page Registration/Login options.
It is late where I am and I may not reply for several hours.

Iphone 5 will not let me use iMessage

Hi, I just tried to activate the imessage with the iphone 5 but find when I try to use imessage it only lets me use message with the green bubble instead of imessage with the blue bubble.... I do not want to use data with other apple id users so what am I doing wrong....
settings>messages>imessage (on)>send as SMS (off)> send&receive (phone number)
Should I send and receive through email instead? or is there something else I am doing wrong? My phone is with verizon.... Thank you!

It finally just started working. I checked my settings again and restarted the phone and now seems to work. Sometimes you have to wait a few seconds for the server to recognize an apple id/or phone number to use for imessage. So wait a few seconds and see if the blue bubble emerges or remians green. I probably cannot be much help in any other regard.

My brother in law who is visiting us tells me that his iPhone 3G does not let him use SKYPE anymore. Is that the case?

Hi,
My brother in law who is visitng me in the US from Germany has iphone 3G. He tells me he can no longer
use SKYPE on the phone app. Is that the case?

I believe the latest update of the Skype app requires a version of iOS that the iPhone 3G is not capable of running. The 3G maxes out at 4.2.1.
