Must re-enter key to connect each time

G5 with a PCI card/wireless utility. This has worked fine in the past with another network to automatically connect. Now it's not connecting automatically, I have to re-enter the key every time.
I can't find anything about preferred networks or saving the key in system preferrences, or the window for the wireless utility. I don't know if it's something in the wireless utility application or Mac System Preferences.
(I can't even determine the manufacturer and "model" of the wireless utility, it's been years since I got it. But this may be irrelevant.)
Please help - thx.

The wireless network password would be stored in your keychain. It's possible your keychain has corrupted and can no longer retrieve this key, hence the need to re-enter it each time.
The simplest solution would be to delete the existing key from your keychain (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app) and then let the system create a new key next time you log on.
No guarantees it'll work, but it's the first and easiest thing to try.

I just updated to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Now I must enter my admin password each time I attempt to access my main hard drive. How do I reverse the need for the password. It's a real PAIN!

I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

HT202213 can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with phone do I have to connect shared library again on phone in evening when back in house?

Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically

Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding.

We need to open the connection each time you read a message from the queue?

Hi
I have a doubt regarding my queue read data that contains those I create a session and connection.
Whenever I do this or you can create a connection and get all data from the queue and then close the connection and session
eg. I have 1000 files in the queue and I read all files but without creating a session and a connection every time you get a single figure, this can be done?
I read the 1000 files without having close the session or the connection
thanks for the help.

I answered myself.
No need to open a connection and a session each to be read from a data queue to extract the entire contents of the queue with only one session and open a single connection.

Why must I log in to Facebook each time I want to access it?

For the past few weeks, I must log into Facebook every time I access it on my iPad. This does not happen on my iMac and, until a few weeks ago, it did not happen on my iPad. Each time it shows the iPad as a new device and I get an email telling me that. It now shows that I have registered 87 devices! I am quite sure I have a setting not right but I don't know what it is. How can I fix this so I do not have to log in as though I have a new device each time?

Default printer settings in Reader X? Why must I reset my print option each time?

Each time I try to print a pdf, the application takes over the printing duties instead of allowing my printer options to come up. There is the option to set printer options by clicking on the "Printer..." button. This is annoying to be sure, but the big problem is that I have to do this each time I desire double sided printing, which is always. If the application demands control over printing, it should be able to utilize the features offered by my printer and set a default print option. In the very least, it should used the last printer option selected. Is there any way to do this? It is annoying and often wastes paper as I use command P/Enter to print when I'm in a hurry.
On the up side, I love that it was easy to set the default page view/zoom options.

USB interface? Are you using one of those USB to parallel adapter cables?
They don't allow two-way comm - which is how the printer tells the computer "done with this page."
You can try this special USB driver that deals with this problem:

Any reason you stopped using network printing?

Have to repair connection each time

I have recently added a Linksys G router to my system.
I have to repair my connection to the internet each time I boot up. I am running Windows XP Pro and a cable modem with the router hard wired to the modem and the router wired to the computer. Software is Network magic Ver 5.5.9195.0.
Can anyone help.

Hello - Has there been any update on solving your problem? I have the exact same problem with the same router and a cable modem, plus a la[top on the network. I'm tired of having to reinstall NM every day or so (running "repair connection" does nothing). It's a shame because when the program works, it works very well, but I'm about to look for something else. I just don't have the time to fix it again and again.
Thanks for any update!

Why am I having to re-enter my registration information each time I open the application?

Hi All,
I purchased Apeture with my Macbook three years ago and have just recently decided to utilize it. EVERY time I open the program I'm prompted to enter my registration information. I'm entering the info each time, but would love not to! (I registered the product in an attempt to make the dialog box go away to no avail.) Any ideas?

First of all, are you using an administrator account, when you are entering the serial number? Aperture needs to write the information to the system library, not the user library. Try to log in from an admin account while entering the serial number. If that does not help, you may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
First check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
Check the permission on the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps". You (as admin) need to have read/write access to all flders along the path.

I Lose Internet connection each time my Mac Sleeps

I have an iMac 21" late 2009 model.
Since I installed Lion, every time my Mac "nods" after leaving it a bit, after waking up it will take about a minute for the internet connection (dsl ethernet) to come back. It's frustrating, I turn on my mac to browse the web, I open Safari but then I have to sit there waiting for the internet connection to come back.
Something is wrong and it's annoying..

If you had mountain lion, you could've used a feature called power nap. It keeps networking on even when the mac is asleep.
On other OS, I guess its bound to disconnect all networks when it goes to sleep You can try an app called Caffeine that doesn't let it go to sleep.

Have to enter Wi-Fi password each time I turn my Apple TV "ON"

I do own the Apple TV for over a year now, however recently when I want to watch Netflix the Apple TV does not connect to my Airport Extreeme Wi-Fi (or Internet) without searching for the my network, selecting it and entering my Wi-Fi/Internet password. After entering password I get connected to the Internet until the unit is turned "OFF". Why is this happening and how can I connect to my network without searching for it and entering the password? This started happening recently and I did not make any changes or adjustments to the equipment. My "Roku" player which is connected to a differen TV in another room is playing fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Has anyone introduced another wifi network in the neighbourhood, or have you added any household equipment that might cause interference, have you tried another wifi channel.

How to download an app without having to key my password each time

How do I set up my Iphone 5 so when I download and app or song I don't have to always enter my password? This is very annoying.

You can't. This is done as a security measure, so doubtful it will ever change. If you make another purchase within 15 minutes, you won't have to re-enter the password, but that's it.

HT1414 My email account on my i phone will not allow me to enter new password. Each time my phone says that the yahoo server is unavailable. What is the problem so that I can once again get my email on my phone?

My iphone will not accept my new password for my email account. It keeps saying that the yahoo server is unavailable. what is the problem and how can I get my phone to accept m;y new password so I can once again get my mail on my phone?

This may work, try deleting the Yahoo email account from your phone and then re-add it, using your new Yahoo password.
If that doesn't work, log into your Yahoo account from a computer and double-check that you are entering the correct password. Also, your password may be case sensitive, so enter it into your iPhone the exact the same way you created it.
Let us know what happens!
