My imac (10.6.8) won't remember my wifi credentials...sooo frustrating please help! :)

It's an issue more often than not that I can't connect for some reason. I typically restart the computer and modem several times until it magically works but every once in a while its just no use so I shut er down and walk away for a few days. It's weird because my iPhone and tab never have this problem. I'd love to find & document a real fix once & for all before I give up on the Mac altogether. Help.

System Preferences>Network>Advanced>forget all your known networks.
Keychain Access>Passwords>delete all your networks passwords
Restart computer
Reconnect to your home network
See if this solves your issue :-)

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    Installed YOSEMITE. Lost entire iPhoto Library on my iMac. Tried Apple's UPGRADER 6 times. No LUCK. Please help.

    Your iPhoto library is usually kept in your pictures folder.  Did you look there?  If it is still there then you did lose your photos.  Just need to get the iPhoto app at the latest level.

    If your account is disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Storeand then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

  • I used the "erase free space " option in disk utility and now my imac says the disk is full and wont let me download songs. please help!

    i used the "erase free space " option in disk utility and now my imac says the disk is full and wont let me download songs. please help!

    You could try repairing permissions with disk utility, I don't think you will have the option to repair the drive but you could verify it.
    This may help you delete the files that DU made but did not remove when erasing the free space.

    When you get your SL disk it will not have the iLife applications, that would have been on the second install disk that should have been with the computer. I forget which version of iLife you will need for SL but I think it is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iLife-Single-User-Mac/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1409607702&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+ilife+11
    A search of the forums will confirm or deny this.
    As to whether a clean install will cure your problem, i.e. partition the HDD and install I would expect it to be yes, but there are no guarantees it is an old machine.

  • I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly.  please help.

    I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly.  Please help.

    Remove preferences on Mac OS
    Quit Dreamweaver.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
    Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
    Try to re-create problem
    After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
    Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
    If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
    If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
    To replace the original preferences:
    Quit dreamweaver.
    Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

  • HT4623 I updated my iphone 4s iOS 6 however my app store is now in german.  I don't know how to get to back to english & now it won't update any of my purchases.  Please help

    I updated my iphone 4s iOS 6 however my app store is now in german.  I don't know how to get to back to english & now it won't update any of my purchases.  Please help

    I also had the same issue (I downloaded IOS6 on my Ipad in Germany, when I was travelling).  I could not get into the Settings/ITunes & App Store and log out of my account as the Apple ID was greyed out and nothing happened when I clicked on my user id.  I then had to go into iTunes and found that my user id at bottom of the screen in ITunes, click on my user id and assume that the german words meant to log out.  I then was able to log back in and English was restored in the iTunes and App store.
