My apple tv does not remember my network password

At least once a weel my apple tv forgets my network password. What can I do to make it retain the info?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

My Apple TV does not recognise My iTunes password. It works on all other devices but not Apple TV? Any ideas why or how to fix?

Any ideas why my Apple TV does not recognise my iTunes password, when all other devices, including these communities are good with it?

Hi Mick2291,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd suggest restarting, and then restoring, your Apple TV if the issue persists:

G4 does not accept my network password

All of a sudden, my ibook g4 does not accept my network password. My mac mini (also on my network) accepts it just fine. I restarted my network but the same problem occurs. Help please!

My apple tv does not ask for a password after connecting to wifi

I'm not tech savey at all!! I've just hooked up my apple tv. it connects to wifi but doesn't prompt me for a password. The wifi is password protected. Any ideas?

Unfortunately as AppleTV does not have a web browser it can't show that webpage to connect.
Just to be sure I assume this is a webpage with a company name of the wifi supplier for thata area/group of residences asking you to login using some credentials and accept terms and conditions, not a configuration page for a router or similar?
You might be able to share an internet connection from a computer over ethernet but sometimes the terms of these connections prohibit that.

Piper camera does not accept my network password

Hi,
I have a 4th generation time capsule and during the setup process of my Piper cam (getpiper.com) I have to transfer my wifi network password. This information is well transmitted to the Piper cam and when it tries to connect to the network I get the message that the password is not the correct one. I've removed the WP2 password security from my network and the setup process of the Piper is successful. I've also tried to modify the network password and I also get the message that the password is not correct. I've contacted the Piper support, and they can't help me and they also told me that the issue may be on my time capsule.
Do you have any idea if there is a specific setup on my time capsule that has to be performed?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Gabriel

I have no idea about your particular webcam but the password setup via WPS is problematic on apple routers.. try and do it by manually connecting to the camera.. the following rules are important.
Wireless name.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TC24ghz (and set 5ghz to TC5ghz) or use combined TCwifi.
Set a fixed channel for 2.4ghz.. 11, 6, 1 in that order.
Set WPA2 Personal security. Use 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.. mix of case and numbers.
If that fails take the security back to WPA+WPA2.. it is less secure but more compatible.
Good luck.

To Apple: AppleTV Does NOT Remember Podcast Last Played Position

Unlike the iPod, I noticed that when I listened to part of a Podcast and returned to the main Menu. When I went back to the same Podcast later, it started from the beginning.
This particular Podcast DOES have as its preference remembering the position during play.
This is something for Version 1.1

I have the same problem. Video podcasts remember playback position. Audio podcasts do not. Major bug.

Why doesent Firefox does not remember Emails and passwords? Seems this issue started when 4.0 came out.....

Well ever since FF 4.0 came out it doesn't seem to want to remember all my emails and passwords, once in a great while it will scroll down and show my email but once i click it it doesn't even place my password in, Such as accessing my email or logging into an account on the web such as Facebook, MySpace or anything like that, and i have to re-log in every single time when i used to do click, click Done, Id like to continue doing that...

To ensure that no malicious software has been installed, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
* SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
* Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

Apple TV does not recognize ID and password. Keeps saying its wrong audits not

I did an update of Apple TV and restored my settings. When going through set up it comes to the Home Sharing screen. When I go to Home. sharing set up it asks for Apple ID. And password. I keep putting them in and it keeps saying they're wrong. I have verified the ID and password accuracy multiple times. I have my MacBook, iPhone 4S and iPad sitting here as well and home sharing is on with ll of them. Stamped

Apple TV has a software bug.
Apple TV asks for your mac ID but in reality it wants your registered email address (not a .mac email but your alternate email address you used when setting up your itunes account.
I could not purchase any apple tv movie content because it kept saying my email address was wrong when logging in under my .mac account. There are a few issues with this...
#1) Why can't I enter a space in my apple ID on Apple TV when I can in iTunes where I can use that ID to purchase content?
#2) As mentioned above... do not use your apple ID when you login on apple TV... use your email address and password used to setup that first .mac account.
#3) Credit card info or pay options must be setup in advance on your computer to be able to purchase content from the Apple TV menus.

TS1398 iPhone 4 does not connect automatically and does not remember wifi password

After being idle for a while, my iPhone 4 goes off wifi and when I am connecting manully, the phone does not remember the wifi password. I have a iPhone 3 and 5 where this is not a problem. Can this be linkes to the phone company you use? The iPhone 4 has a different phone company than the other phones. Can anyone help please?

Hi Damien,
Thanks for your reply.
I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:

I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?

My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

HT4628 My Wi-Fi connection on my iMac drops frequently. The other computers in the house do not have this problem. If I go into the Network Preferences and choose my Network it connects immediately but it does not remember the setting.

My Wi-Fi connection on my iMac drops frequently. The other computers in the house do not have this problem. If I go into the Network Preferences and choose my Network it connects immediately but it does not remember the setting and I must reselect my network frequently.

The iMac picks up a wireless signal from the back of the screen, so you would want to avoid having it close to a wall, or in a confined area where the wireless signal cannot easily reach the iMac's antenna.
We don't know how far the iMac is from your wireless router, or how many walls or other obstructions might be in the signal path that would limit the quality of signal that the iMac receives.
Nor do we know whether you might have a cordless phone near the iMac, or whether you may be using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse....all of which can interfere with the wireless signal.
Can you provide some more info on this?

TS1398 Does not remember my home wifi password

I put in my home wifi password and it does not remember it, if I leave and come back I have to re enter it, I put password in my iPhone and it
T remembers password. Is there any way to save password so I do not have to re enter

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.

HT3180 I owned an Apple tv and after upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work the only message that show on the screen said if time and dates are not found go to apple/support/tv tried almost everything and nothing. Please somebody

I owned an Apple Tv and since I upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work. Please someone help.

In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)
