Lost my WEP password after upgrading my AIRPORT software

A year ago, I joined SBCGlobal.net
I have a faint memory of a password that I had to insert in order for my G4 to use the network from a remote location. I also have a faint memory that wherever I got the password, it did not work, and after calling SBCI, I was told to insert a $ sign in front of the password. That worked.
I just today upgraded to Airport 4.2. When I restarted, my network was still visible under the Airport icon on the desktop, but the computer did not connect. Manually clicking on the network (2Wire....) brought up the WEP dialogue page and asked for my password.
Is this something I had to create, or was it supplied by the SBC folks? If it's gone forever, can I fix the problem in some way?
Thank you,
Anene

Read the user manual for your 2Wire router - it will tell you what the default WEP key is for your router.

KWallet stopped recognize password after upgrade

Hello,
I have two kwallet profiles, (at the moment extra/kdeutils-kwalletmanager 14.12.1-1 and extra/kwallet 5.6.0-1)
The "kdeprofile" works as always, and another wallet I have created long time ago, stopped finding it's password after upgrading this week.
The second one, had a password that I have always used, but after restarting kde (logout -> returnrning to kdm), it stopped opening it, claiming that the password may be incorrect (error -9).
As far as I can tell, there is no way to restore/recover/change passwords, but could it be just a bug that is fixable?

I have almost a similar error (I've switched from kdewallet-git to kwallet from [extra]). I've fixed when back to kwallet-git, because the git version transform the wallet profile to new version, but when back to older kwallet this don't recognized it (always need put the password but is never recognized (error 9)
in my case, i think is fixed in kwallet 5.7.0 because this commit https://projects.kde.org/projects/frame … a159b45849 is not apply in the 5.6.0 (or more older commit)
try to install kwallet-git and test with older commits (use #commit=sh1 in source=() array. see the pkgbuild VCS wiki ) until to fixed
the list of commit is this https://projects.kde.org/projects/frame … repository
greetings

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

Hi OrangeOAK,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

Also check the print queue to see if a print job has gotten stuck. Click the home button twice and you should see recently used programs across the bottom of the screen. Scroll across to find the print queue.

After upgrading to Airport Utility 6.3 Netflix will not load

After upgrading to Airport Utility 6.3 Netflix will not load more than 20 % of any movie. I get an error code N8202 from the netflix website but nothing seems to help.
Does anyone experience the same thing? (And does anyone have suggestions how to solve the problem)?

Hi and thanks for the feedback.
Well, that was why I was puzzled in the first place, but Netflix couldn't find any flaws in their system (I tried the suggestions in the link Shawn Grinter 2 posted (thanks to you as well, Shawn)).
But today everything is perky and running smooth without me doing anything about it.
Stranger than fiction, but thanks again for taking time helping!
regards,
Kristian

Change/upgrade to Airport software

I just upgraded the Airport software (6.0) and I see it's had a makeover. Is there anywhere to see what other devices besides computers are DHCP clients. I have a power monitor and a solar panel interface that are both on the network but I don't see them anywhere in any of the Airpot windows. I used to be able to find it in the "Logs and Statistics" I think. And is there anywhere to set up a printer in Airport or is all of that done just in System Prefs.

Synchronization failure after upgrade to Desktop Software v.7.0

When trying to synchronize with Outlook after upgrade to Desktop Software v.7.0 got a message "CRADSDatabase ERROR (5211): There is an error converting Unicode string to or from code page string". The other options like device backup, synchronization of images and videos, file transfer, work fine. I am on BB Bold9700 (v.6.0, 2949) and Sony Vaio with Windows 7. The direction of synchronization does not matter and the same error pops up when e.g. only Tasks are attempted to synchronize.  There were no problems with Desktop Software v.6.

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
Hopefully something there is helpful!
Cheers!

Where can I find the WEP password for my older airport extreme?

I have a log-in password for my home network, but my HP printer wants a "WEP Password." I don't know where to find that. Any ideas?

It's a brand new printer, just out of the box. It should connect via wireless, but it doesn't recognize the network security password. The router is an old Airport Extreme, the kind that looks like a big white chocolate chip. I tried through the airport utility to check on its security settings, but the dialog box said this version of airport utility didn't support the router and to download airport utility 5.6. I did that, but it wouldn't let me do anything, not even update to 5.7, which it recommended, because it didn't recognize the password. The password works to access the network from other devices, though.
I suppose the next thing to try is to reset the router completely, but I hesitate to do that because I am not sure it will let me back into my network after I do that. Since it only recognizes its password sometimes.

TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

Problems with passwords after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi,
After upgrading to Mavericks I have problems with passwords. MacOS allows me to log in with my password but when I want to install software it does not accept my password. I can go to the user tab in system preferences and change my passwort there. With the new password it works, but when I change to the old password, I have the same problems. Strange ...
Thanks for help

OK. I found the problem (probably it is not related to the upgrade): When I install an application and the installation procedure asked me for a password it switched the keybord driver to a language I only use infrequently. Since my original password contained special characters the change of the keyboard driver was the cause for my typing in a wrong password. When I tried changing the password I used "abc" and this worked since it did not contain any special characters. So everything explained and a bug for Apple to fix.

Lost my wep password

I need my wep password to add on a ps3 to my network. I have no idea how to find it. Can anyone help?

Hello smlgal. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Access the Keychain utility to find your WEP password.
\Applications\Utilities\
- Run Keychain Access
- Look for the item with the Kind of "AirPort network password," and the name of your wireless network.
- Double-click it.
- On the Attributes tab, enable (check) "Show password:"
- Enter your Keychain password

Lost saved mail messages after upgrading to OSX Mavericks

I rencently noticed that after upgrading to OSX Mavericks I have lost all of my saved messages from before that date, messages mainly from my gmail account that is syncing with Mail. I have also noticed that the same messages are now missing when I log into Gmail and look for them there.

HI,
I also use IMAP and the "folders" I create in the Mail App are actually created on the IMAP server.
My Mail side bar looks like this:-
Between the INboxes and the Google folders are the Smart Mailboxes (Today) and the On My Mac line which is current closed/hidden.
I have a bunch more folder that are On My Mac in here.
I went the Google Mail Web page the other day and was informed that there was a New Inbox.
I also received an email about it.
It appeared to happen just as I logged in to Google.
I not sure it this was coincidence or the trigger.

Lost Ability to Scroll After Upgrading to Firefox 6.0.2

I've lost the ability to scroll using my mouse (touchpad on a Lenovo T400) after upgrading to Firefox 6.0.2. I still have the ability to scroll in every other application (IE, Word, etc.) and previously had the ability to scroll in the prior version of Firefox. I'm operating Windows XP and have already checked to make sure my mouse settings are correct. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Flash does not appear in the plugins list. It works fine in other browsers. /Library/Internet plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt exist. I can't find the flash plugin elsewhere (profile/plugins, in the App package)
I created a new profile to test if the profile was at fault. The plugin still did not load. Firefox finds the plugin but in [profile]/pluginreg.dat it adds it under [INVALID]:
