Ipad 3 Keeps Losing Passwords and Usernames

My trusty iPad 3 keeps losing website usernames and passwords. This has been happening recently and I have not changed any of the settings. I upgraded to IOS 8.1.2 hoping that would solve the problem without any change. When I put the iPad to sleep by closing the smart case cover the passwords and usernames of websites disappear even if I have checked the box on the site to remember them. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Mail keeps "losing" passwords to all email accounts OSX10.8.5

In the last few days, my Mail has been acting bizarrely. None of the passwords are in the Mail Preferences / Account settings, and it also seems to drop the Outgoing server info. Regardless of how many times I re-enter those and save, once I'm out of the Mail Preferences / Account settings, they apparently disappear again.
I found a number of threads that seem to relate to Yahoo and AOL accounts, but I do not have any of these, instead: hosted domain email, gmail and an office.365 Exchange server. As I run my consulting business remotely from most of my clients, consistently working email is essential. This is really making work impossible! I've already ditched Outlook due to consistently having horrible issues, to the point of it erasing my identities after an automatic update (putting me out of business for several days as we had to rebuild my entire email).
Does anyone have a working solution for this mail losing passwords issue?

Firefox keeps losing password setting on my home page and i have to keep logging in all the time

Whenever I start Firefox it goes to my homepage, however it cannot remember my settings although it was saved and ticked to remember it, Even after logging it, Firefox will sort of log out of the page and I have to log in again. Thought it was my yahoo setting, tried it on explorer and do not have this problem.

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode

Admin user keeps losing password

I have a PowerMac G4 running 10.4.11 Server. Every month or so, the user "admin" loses its password, and I'm required to log in using another administrative user and reset is using server admin.
This is weirding me out a bit, and I'm hoping someone here could put me on the right track to finding out what it is.
I've reset the password to something strong and random, and it still happens, to rule out someone messing with my head, and i've run virus scans, repaired everything and it still happens.

Hi Balu,
The login user id for the User Management, System
Information etc on the Index page is the Administrator
The passwords for the administrative users would have been asked for during the installation. If its not
working, then you will have to reset the password. I am
not sure if any default passwords exist for these.
You can reset the password for the administrator by
activating the SAP* user and resetting the Administrator
password.

Iphone exchange setup keeps losing password

Verification was successful and all the exchange folders and contacts are on the iphone, but when I try and access the account I am prompted to enter my password, over and over and over. When I look in the settings all the other info is there, username, domain, exchange server but in the password field the gray "Required" is there, no dots to indicate a password. Then I edit the account, add the password again and the same thing happens. Password disappears and I am prompted to enter it whenever I try to access the email account.

Suggest you restart your IPhone and ensure you type the new Passcode.
reason.
Before you completed setup you IPhone to the Exchange, that was a question asking you to type in the 6 digit Passcode, which is used to ensure your email been secure by protected by the IPHone password. Believe this is why you a having problem.
You may want to contact your exchange admin as your exchange account may been lock...
Good luck.

IMac keeps losing network connection

My iMac keeps losing the connection to my AirPort very sporadically, but very often. I keep having to open Network Assistant, choose the AirPort and the network, and re-enter the password. I then get a message that my network connection appears to be working correctly, which it then is. This could happen several times in a few hours.
I have tried creating a new network, but it still happens. We have 6 other devices on this network and do not have a problem with those devices.
Any advice?

here's a (very crude) screen shot of an iStumbler scan on my MBP
my network is called pegasus. see that it broadcasts on channel 11 (2.4 GHz band) ? see also that there are six other networks broadcasting on the same channel ? now, ideally i would change my channel to broadcast on "5" or "6", but since there are so many networks around, even those would give me interference from other networks nearby.
in the end, i decided to hardwire (using ethernet cables) most of my devices to my router (time capsule) in order to avoid interference alltogether.
also, there could be closed (hidden) networks around that only KisMac would be able to pick up.
lastly, as the read about *wireless interference* revealed, there are other sources that could interfere with your network performance: microwave ovens, cordless phones - heck, even enabling bluetooth on your very own Mac could be a source.
as an alternative to running ethernet cables throughout your place, you could consider *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

I keep losing my accounts

I keep losing my skype accounts. This usually happens when I'm online and I'm busy doing something else. I log ou of skype and it says that the password has changed. I reckon that someone keeps hacking my skyp accounts. It has happened several times. I tried to change my password but I'm always out of luck. I always have to make a new skype account. How can I prevent these hackings?

I think the first thing you can do is to fully update your anti-virus program, then run a full antivirus scan. This is to possibly detect and remove any element in your computer that the possible hacker is using.

Keep losing wireless signal

My 9300 keeps losing its wireless signal. I phoned and was told to connect to a different network and then connect back to Vodafone which worked for a couple of days but I keep losing and going to GSM and then have to connect to a different network and back to Vodafone.

I assume you are running OS X 10.5.5. Try these simple maintenance routines:
Repair Permissions - /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app. Start Disk Utility, select your HD and click on Repair Permissions. When finished, quit Disk Utility and then restart your computer.
Reset PRAM - hold down Option-Command-P-R keys when starting until you hear the startup chime a 2nd time.
Safe Mode Startup - hold down the Shift-key at startup until you see the login screen. When logged-in, then go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort, click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'. Then, click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
How are you connected to the internet - DSL model > AEBn WAN port? Check your AEBn Internet setup. Open AirPort Utility, select your AEBn, Manual Setup, Internet - is 'Connection Sharing:' set to 'Off (Bridge Mode)' - set to this if not.
Now check System Preferences/Network/AirPort/ - click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP'.
The above two paragraphs assume that your ISP uses a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses (normally the case).
Hope this helps.

Deskjet 3520 keeps losing connection to Mac

Last night, I installed an HP Deskjet 3520 printer to use with my desktop Mac (which is using OS Yosemite). I have an etsy shop where I sell prints of my illustrations, so I often have to print out multiple files in a row. When I installed the driver last night, I was able to wirelessly print the test page, but after that, I could not print wirelessly. Instead, I used the USB connection, which worked fine. I printed a round of prints and everything worked fine.
This morning, I need to do some more printing, and my Mac reported that there was no connection to the printer (even though the printer was connected via USB). I deleted the printer from my Systems Preferences Printers and re-added it, and I was finally able to do my printing (still not wirelessly).
Now, tonight, I have tried to do more printing and the Mac reports that there is no connection to the printer, USB or wireless. I tried deleting from Systems Preferences and re-adding again, but that didn't work this time. Then, I tried resetting the printing system, uninstalling HP, and re-installing the driver. Now, I'm at the part of the installer where the device needs to be configured and I am receiving the message:
Device Not Reachable. The wireless network settings were successfully downloaded to your device. However, your Mac was unable to locate the device on the network.
I don't know what keeps going wrong! The little screen on my printer says it is connected to my wireless network AND I am still connected via USB so I don't know how the device would not be reachable. I also don't know why the printer would keep losing connection with the computer every time I need to start printing again. Please help!!

Hi @tylertot
This is in deed a little strange, but I'd like to help! Some of the steps I am going to offer are steps you have done, but I;d like to perform the following steps in the order presented to see what happens. Please give the following a try;
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable, also unplug the USB cable. Restart teh Mac and then plug the printer power cable back in. You can also go ahead and reconnect the USB cable.
Reset Printing System - (I know you did this already, thus you know how, but here are the steps for others who may view this thread)
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions - I don't see that you have tried this yet, and this step might be crucial to resolving the issue.
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver. You can add the wireless or the USB, or Both. If you ad both, I suggest adding a name to identify one connection from the other.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
You can see in the image above where the name section is, if you add both connection types simply add USB to the beginning of one of the names.
Adding both printers and naming them to help identify them helps when it comes time to print. When you print something you can choose the printer with the appropriate connection type. For example, you can choose the wireless driver ad if you get an offline message try printing again but choose the USB driver. If the USB one works you will know the issue is related to the Wireless connection, and if it doesn;t then the issue is related tot he operating system. Really this is just a proactive troubleshooting attempt in case issue arise in the near future. If you only want to add one connection type that is okay too.
I look forward to hearing from you.
