Logging into BT wireless

Hi,
I want to be able to access BT Wireless (which was Fon) away from home and I have been trying to test it using my home hub.
Logging into https://www.btwifi.com:8443/selfcare/index.htm I get a password failure each time (definitely the right username and password). I am guessing this is because I need to connect to BT Fon or BT Openzone to log in and I cannot do it through my home wireless. The porblem is, though I am registered with Fon and it is showing as enabled on the hub, there doesn't seem to be a Fon wireless signal from my hub.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Ivor

Hi Keith and imjolly, thanks the prompt replies. I have checked my status on the BT Fon websites and I am opted in. If I check the status of my modem it shows BT Fon as being active. Conrad, I should see it as a separate available wireless signal, but it isn't there. I have got the BTHomeHub signal, which I am currently connected to.
I can only log into this bit:
"If you are a BT Broadband user and you would like to check whether you are opted in you can check here."using my BT username and password
The login boxes for Fon on that page don't accept my BT username (or any of my common login names) or any of my passwords. There isn't a password reset option either so I don't know if i should have a login for that page. Should I?
FON and, for a while, BT Openzone, did appear as separate wireless signals when I set up my hub a year or more ago, but they disappeared soon after. My house is in a fairly isolated spot and they definitely came from my hub. I hadn't pursued it before as nobody would have wanted to get wireless from my hub. Only now when I want to check my ability to log onto the site, so I can set it up for my wife when she travels away soon, that it becomes an issue.
Many thanks for your help.
Ivor

My Iphone 4 wont allow me to log into my wireless internet. It keeps saying unable to join user. What can I do to fix that?

I just updated my software to the 7.06 version on my Iphone 4 and after I did that, I had trouble accessing my wireless internet. I have put in the correct password and it just keeps popping up "Unable to join the network". Does anyone know what I can do to access my wireless internet at my house on my Iphone?

Limited Connectivity after logging into wireless network?

I have a questions in regards to logging into my wireless network from laptop. From laptop I experienced a connection but a "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY?" In other words a connection was confirmed but unsuccessful, it says? How do I fix? Thnx!

Make sure you enter your correct Network Key, limited connectivity error normally occurs when you enter a wrong/invalid network key...
If you are not sure about the wireless settings on your network follow the link here

Script or automator to auto-log into wireless network?

Is it possible to write a script or automator action to automatically log into a wireless network? I'd like to run this at startup to auto connect to a wireless access point.
Thanks!

I'm certainly no expert on this topic, but...doesn't your computer already do this automatically? Mine certainly does.
In your System Preferences, click on the "Network" pane, then click on "Airport" on the left column, then make sure the "Ask to join new networks" click-box is checked. When it is, you will see this text below it:
"Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network."
Final step: Now click the "Advanced" button at the bottom of the Network pane, and make sure "Remember networks this computer has joined" box is checked. That is essential! Then close the System Preferences window. Done!
Henceforth, each time you encounter a hitherto as-yet unknown network for the first time, you will be asked before joining it. But once you have joined it, even only once, you will never be asked again! The computer will automatically rejoin any previously recognized wireless network you encounter.
One final detail: if you find yourself in a cloud of two or more overlapping wireless hotspots simultaneously, and the computer is not joining the one you prefer, then go back to that "Advanced" button in the Network pane, and rearrange the list of remembered Networks to have the one you prefer at the top. Then the computer will always join that one first, if it is available.
This is how I have my computer set up, and each time I restart or log on at home, it instantly and without asking automatically joins my home wireless network -- I'm not even conscious of it happening. By the time I sit down and launch Safari or Mail, I'm already online with no actions having been taken on my part. And if I find myself in my favorite cafe, I open my MacBook and it instantly and automatically joins the cafe's network, without asking, since my home network is now out of reach and the cafe's network is the second-highest on my priority list and thus the highest among available detected remembered Networks.
Hope this answers your problem. If you instead were seeking a different answer to a slightly different problem, then please re-clarify! Hopefully then someone who's more of an expert in Networks can answer it.

G5 fails to log into network

this has happened a few times now and is getting a little more freguent.
When i boot up, i log into my wireless network. All the computers are configured to join the network automatically.
However, for a reason i can't seem to find, from time to time my G5 fails to log into the network. if i click on the airport menu icon (which shows no bars/waves - just grey) i can see the network. if i now try to join the network, it asks for the password. the correct password is given, but i am rejected from the network.
if i then log out and back in, the G5 joins no problem. i have now just taken to logging out and back in.
any ideas?

No ideas, but confirmation that it happens when I cold boot or wake the G5 from a long sleep. Otherwise, it joins the preferred network automatically at login, as it's supposed to.

I was able to create a guest network, However Devices will not log into it. Does this have anything to do with my uverse wireless modem

Help, I have created the guest network. However, no devices can log into it. Can someone help me with my Guest network issues?

Unfortunately, Apple assumes that you will be using a simple modem with their routers. Something like this, for example, which will allow the Guest Network feature to work correctly, since the AirPort will be the main router on the network.
The Uverse is a modem/router, also known as a gateway......a device that combines the functions of a separate modem and separate router in one package. An example of a modem/router would look like this:
Because the Uverse is already operating as the main router for the network, the AirPort cannot take that role. So, the Guest Network will not function correctly with the type of device that you have.....even if you try to enable it in AirPort Utility.
Suggest that you use the AirPort router as your main network, and use the Uverse wireless for "guests".
Sometimes, it is possible to reconfigure a modem/router to act as if it were a simple modem. I do not think that this is possible with a Uverse product, but you could check with ATT on that possibility if you wanted to do so.

Error message: "Logging into the account failed because an error occurred."

Hello,
We had an XServe G5 2.0 DP 5GB/80/2x250 running Mac OS X 10.3.9 Server with all updates as a main server for a school. The server provides Open Directory Master as well as File-Sharing (AFP and SMB) and e-mail services to about 30 teachers and 300 students. The user home directories reside on the server. A web server also runs on the machine. The students use a pool of laptops, which are configured with a local guest and admin account as well as access to the server-based home directories with Directory Access. The server had the OS running on the 80 GB hard drive and all data (Home directories, mail database, website, etc. were on the two mirrored 250 GB drives.) All was working well until...
A few weeks ago, one of the two 250 GB died. We decided to use the opportunity to upgrade the server and set it up with 3 x 750 GB, two drives running as a mirrored pair to hold OS AND Data, the other as a stand-by unit to help replace a failing drive.
We migrated the OS and all data from the previous drives without a problem. Since now, all data is residing on one pair of drives, we put the data from the old "Data" drive in a folder on the root level of the new HD pair. We wrote a script that launches at startup which creates the symlink in /Volumes/Data to link to /Data. We thought that with this, all would be well.
However: When any user tries to log into his account from any iBook (10.3.9 or 10.4.11) (wirelessly), he gets the message:
"Logging into the account failed because an error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on an afp or smb server. contact your system administrator for help"
If the user logs in to the guest account on the iBook, then accesses his home directory via file-sharing, he can see (read/write) all his data. So, the data and privileges seem to be OK, as well as Open Directory working correctly. Mail and the web work well also, as does logging in to a user account from one of the PC's (wired).
Can anyone make any suggestions as to how to fix the situation? Currently, the users are using the guest accounts and accessing their data via filesharing, as well as using webmail for their e-mail, but this is a major nuisance.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Alain Chammas
A user trying to access his account from a PC (wired) has no problems.

A good number of folks are having problems with this same error message at login, and nobody seems to have found a fix.
I believe I have stumbled upon, if not a solution, at least part of the answer. If you're logged into a 10.4 workstation, open a Finder window and click the "Network" icon. The first time you do this, you'll only see "Library" and "Servers" icons, but if you let it sit for a moment, other folders will magically appear. One of these is "My Network" which is the critical part.
In Workgroup Manager, edit one of your users' home directory configuration. There's a URL piece, usually "afp://server.domain.com/Users" (which is what shows up in the window when you click on the "Home" tab for that user), and then there's a "Home" path that is usually something like "/Network/Servers/servername/Users/username". Trouble is, you've noticed that 10.4 doesn't put servers into the "Servers" path, but rather into the "My Network" path.
So, if you change that "Home" path to read "/Network/My Network/servername/Users/username", it should work--with one caveat. Apparently 10.4 doesn't create the "My Network" path on a given client until you actually browse the network on that client. If you haven't logged into a 10.4 workstation and browsed the network, the "My Network" path won't be there, and you'll still get the error. Login as a local user, browse the network (so that the "My Network" folder shows up), logout, and then login as an Open Directory user, and it should work.
I'm betting that 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 all handle this issue differently, so if you're in a mixed-version situation, you may have to experiment to find a workable fix.
Derndest thing I ever saw.

How do I keep my Airport Extreme from logging into other networks?

How can I tell my network to always log into our network and ignore the other signals it finds?
In older MacOS's you could tell WiFi to only use trusted networks. My problem is that in my neighborhood there are lots of WiFi users and my airport network is always trying to use one of them (even though the signal strength is the same). The most annoying is Comcast, which seems to show up the most. I have Comcast for TV etc., but have the WiFi feature disabled on the modem. I want more control. Yesterday it got on one of my neighbors that isn't even secure?

1. Have you ticked to "Ask to join new networks" ??
2. Have you deleted all the other possible wireless networks from your listing.
The network which should be the first in the list will be the one that is connected first. But we find it is best to empty the list.
Maybe also check to require admin authorisation to change networks.
Other than those things nothing else is offered..
I have many wireless networks here and I have not seen the issue even on Mavericks.. but if any OS is going to give you grief Mavericks is the one.

Can't log into my XP machine from MacBook Pro using GoToMyPC - Help Please?

I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" and am having trouble logging into the the computer at my office (Dell Machine XP Pro). I've used the service for quite some time now so it's not that I am new to the web based service.
Here's what happens:
I sign into my account at the GoToMyPC.com website with my username & password without problem. The website shows that my Dell machine is "on line" as normal. When I click onthe Connect button, the the Safari window resizes (universal viewer?) and looks like it starts to load. However, within a few seconds, I get the spinning beachball of death. I've tried to let it sit there for as long as 10 minutes with no change. I have to force quick Safari because it's "not responding"
Here's what I think I know and the steps I've taken thus far...
I know that the service is working because I am able to log in from my wife's laptop ( HP - Windows XP home) from the same home wireless network that MacBook is connected to. That also rules out (I think??!!) any issues with the wireless network in my home.
I don't believe that there is any inherrent problem using a Mac to log in using the GoToMyPC service since I tried it on several different computers in the Apple Store without any issues whatsoever.
I talked with GoToMyPC tech support and they they it seems like a Java problem. However, it seems that I have the latest Java plug-ins in my Applications/Utilities/Java folder (1.3.1 & 1.4.2). Other than that suggestion they weren't much help.
I called AppleCare and they had me set up a test user account with no other changes to settings, etc... No help. They then had me re-install the OS from the original discs. No Help and know I have a folder called "previous systems" on my HD taking up 10 Gig. Can I just delete this folder or have I now opened up another can or worms?
I've poked around the security settings in the system prefs panel - but nothing juped out at me as a pssible soltion so I didn't change anything.
I'm at my wits end - I need this to work and can't figure out why it isn't.
Anybody got any ideas???
MacBook Pro 17" - 2 Gig Ram - 120 Gig HD Mac OS X (10.4.6) OS 10.4.7 on the "previous system"

Glad to hear that you found it.
Unfortunately, when we try to help folks...we usually stumble around for ideas, especially when we don't have the "whole picture". Your router/modem security setup was the wild card.
In your case, it was particularly odd that wife's PC could get out to Citrix through the router's firewall, but Mac couldn't.
But I'd be willing to bet that there's a FAQ section at GoToMyPC, that will explain this for you. But when you're up to your ears in alligators...well you know the rest
(Do you have a firewall running on both the Motorola and on the wireless router? Or don't you have a router, as such, and the network is provided using just the Motorola? Something to think about. Two firewalls are not necessarily better than one).
no reply needed...just glad you're "in".

Can a single account be logged into more than once at the same time

-
Firstly, please excuse me if this has already been asked - I tried searching for various terms but couldn't see anything.
At present we run a single account (non-admin) on our iMac G5 which holds all out families photos/music/movies etc. I'm wanting to add a MacBook to our iMac. They would communicate either wirelessly, or via an ethernet hub. We would like to fire up the laptop and log into that same account, so all that information is available (read and write) from both computers, and at the same time.
Is this possible? If so, how is it achieved. Is there some network settings that have to be made on the MacBook?
I'm aware that there will be limitations - i.e. two people won't be able to modify the same file at the same time. Also that the iMac will have to be powered up for the account to be accessed etc.
Finally, due to space considerations I'm wanting to move the home folder for our existing account onto an external FW drive (using the techniques I've found in other posts on this forum). Will this affect any solution to my original question?
Thanks for your time.

When you turn on file sharing, others can see your computer in the Finder > Go > Network window, where they can click on it to see what shares are available. These can be the public folders (which don't need a password to connect), or user folders (which do). By connecting to one of the shares, they then have access to the files within them. If you don't want to use an external disk, you can use SharePoints to share folders within your account, such as Music or Pictures. Just be aware that sharing files within a user account can run into permissions issues, for example trying to edit a document owned by someone else, which is one of the reasons to use an external disk. Tiger and Leopard also support Access Control Lists, but you need to know what you are doing.

Cannot log into T61 from remote computer with wired network and Windows Explorer.

Hi,
I am using a T61 7662-cto with Windows 7 Professional
When the T61 is connected on the home network with the wired network, I am not able to log into it remotely from another computer. On my second computer, I see the T61 with Windows Explorer but instead of getting the login window, it appears a Network Error with the message:
“Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network.” With a error code 0x80070035, “The network path was not found.” I tried the “Diagnose” button but it doesn’t give solution.
When the T61 is wireless connected, there is no problem. I can access it from my second computer.
I never have problem to connect to the second computer from the T61 with any connection type . I just updated the Intel Wireless LAN (bg, abg, abgn) for Windows 7 – ThinkPad, with the drivers required but it changes nothing.

Why can't I log into my account?

I don't understand why you can't log into your account when it's the least they can do since there is a non existent customer service. I just need to pay my final bill so I can rid of this sad idea of superior service. Thankfully I have upgraded to a carrier who knows and practices customer service. Verizon you should take notes for you seriously lack this quality! Good ridden's!

Unknown Error 310 when I try to log into my ITunes Account

Has anyone else had a problem logging into their ITunes Account? I cannot log into my ITunes account from my macbook pro for weeks now and I keep getting the following error message
"We could not complete your ITunes Store request. An unknown error occured (310). There was an error in the ITunes store please try again later."
I have been able to log in to my account via wi-fi at home on my iphone...
I have contacted itunes support team and they have not been very helpful suggesting I sign up for tech support contract...HELP PLEASE..........

I had this same problem and discovered that my proxy settings for my network connection were wrong. To fix, I did the following:
1. Clicked on wireless network icon in upper right of screen
2. Selected "Open Network Preferences"
3. Selected the network interface I was using - in my case Ethernet
4. Selected the Advanced button in the lower right
5. Selected the Proxies Tab
6. Corrected my proxy server settings - in my case I did not have a port number set for my HTTPS proxy server.
From what I can tell, Itunes uses both HTTP and HTTPS protocols to connect to Itunes Store and to log in to Itunes Account (respectively). If you are on a network that requires you to use a proxy server, then you will have to make sure each of these protocols is set to use the correct proxy server URL and Port Number. Also, if you are on a network that does not use a proxy server, you need to make sure you don't have a proxy server set for these protocols.
Ideally, the proxy server settings are handled for you automatically when you connect to a new network, this isn't alwys the case however. Some older network don't support automatic configuration of the proxy server settings and you are forced to manually set the configuration. Most wireless and home networks I've run into don't use proxy servers, they are typically only used in large corporations to reduce network load on the intranet, or to manage external security threats.
Good luck

Having a hard time logging into Lion at my office

Hi folks,
I need some help here...
When I used to use Snow Leopard at work, I used to have a hard time logging into my iMac as a network user. If I logged in as an admin, the problem would go away. Knowing this, I made gave my network account admin privledges and all log-in issues for my account were solved.
Now I use Lion...
My user account still has me as admin, but , once again, am having issues logging into the iMac. A small flag is displayed next to where I would enter my user name, saying that network is unavailable. I cannot enter my name or password. I can move my mouse, but I cannot type. I thought the error was with the wireless keyboard, so I tethered one and still had the same issue.
Powering down, unplugging, replugging, and prayer (haha) seem to be the fix, but I have to repeat this process three or four times in order to log in.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is? Is anyone else having this issue at their place of business? I don't have these issues at home on my Lion installed Mac.

Thanks for responding!
The firewall is off, under my security settings.
As for built in security from my office network, I do not know.
