My ipad will not connect to wi-fi. I lost it after updating os7. Friend got it to work in CA but coming home to AZ it will not connect. Another thing why are they asking for password when I try to pick location, to my knowledge this has not been asked

I have a problem with my wi-fi cant get to work, I will pick a server then they ask for a password, to my knowledge this has never been asked in the past/ This happened with I installed OS7. A friend in CA was able to connect but when I returned to AZ I have not been able to setup the Wi-FI.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Stickies don't save on quit, Preview crashes on open, the desktop asked for password when I try to move an item into a folder or delete something.

Hi,
As the title said, and I also had dropbox syncing issues, but I seemed to have fix that by [applying permissions settings to all enclosing items].
The other issues...
I already tried repairing permissons thru disk utility and the restart cmd+r thing, I also reinstalled lion, hoping to fix this, so now I'm on lion 10.7 (but I will update soon).
I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I was installing extensis, uninstalling it, then reinstalling it.... and then I probably screwed up the permissions to a whole bunch of folders all at once, because now I have a huge batch of issues, some big, some small. I probably won't even know the full extent of my wrongs.
Thank you in advance.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Hi I can't update my apps when I try to update it asks for password when used it goes back to update. I think I'm not alone and have tried changing date switching off signing out and in and rebooting. Is there a solution or do I need to take it in?

I can't update my apps each time it asks for password when entered it goes straight back to update. I don't think I am alone in this. I have tried changing the date, rebooting, switching off and on signing out and nothing works. Does anyone know of a solution or will I have to take it to an apple shop. My misses has no trouble with her updates, they are both on iOS 6. Hope someone can help.

Tried that just said cant connect to iTunes Store which was different.

Firefox keeps asking for password when I send emails

Firefox version 35.0. When I open Firefox and get messages, no problems. When I write an email and send, Firefox asks me for password. I am able to send/receive emails while open. If I close Firefox and open, it asks for password when I send. Months ago, I changed my login password to Netzero.com (made it more secure). Since then, I've had this annoying password request. How to satisfy the login server password for receiving/sending emails?

Is it Firefox asking for the password, or the web site? The only time that
FF will ask for a password is if you have the '''Master Password''' active
in the '''Password Manager.'''
Open the '''Password Manager.''' There is a search bar at the top of the
page. Enter the name of the site. Press the button '''Show Passwords.'''
Is the information correct? '''Note:''' there may be more then one entry.
'''Left''' click the icon in the address bar. A window for displaying site information should come up. Select '''More Information.''' At the top of the window, select '''Security.''' Now select '''View Saved Passwords.'''

Only on my macbook. (which, btw, has a version number your drop down doesn't offer as a choice. I had to putt 9.4)
When I look up the account the "password" is a long string of gobbledygook. Something I would never do.
But when I attempt to use that pw I still can't get in.
I have no trouble accessing that email account on my mac mini. Just on the macbook.

Maiko,
I'm confess I'm still trying to get a handle on your problem. You do a fantastic job of describing it ... but I'm just trying to picture it accurately in my head.
I think, were I in your shoes, I'd begin by looking at what the debug page has to say for the specific destination in which you're interested in fixing. In other words, I'm not clear on where, exactly, this destination points ...
Destination illinois.edu.1945806043
Is that your site, or the division within your site that you want to fix? "Normally", you do not need to specify a site handle to get to your site within your transfer CGI ... if you say "uillinois.edu", it's enough to transfer your users to iTunes U ... but every site still has a handle, and you could, if you wanted to, actually specify it in your transfer CGI. For example, this:
Destination uic.edu.1139051993
is for my entire site ... it's my site handle. Whereas this:
Destination uic.edu.1991288441
is for a division within my site ... but it's impossible to tell the difference between "site" and "division" from just the handle (I mean, if I didn't say "this is a site" and "this is a division", there'd be no way for you to know). So when I look at your creds and permissions on your debug page, I can't quite tell if they give you download access for your site, or for the specific division you want to fix. If you could open the debug page with your division as destination (or confirm that that's what we're looking at), it'd rule out some things.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Keeps asking for password when trying to purchase photobook and will not let me proceed - help!

Iphoto will not let me purchase photo book. Keeps asking for password . Help!

What iPhoto are you referring to? iPhoto for iOS or iPhoto on your Mac?

Thunderbird 31.3.0 Mac Yosemite. Thunderbird does not ask for password, when there are no passwords saved

Have deleted account.
Created new existing mail account, enter server details, click test - the server details are found automatically. Then enter password and click ok - then Thunderbird hangs forever while saying that password is ok.
Alternatively - create new existing mail account without entering password, click ok, then procedure goes through, and the email gets created. However, it never asks for password. Even upon restart of Thunderbird and machine. There are no passwords saved under security settings
Please help

Mail contantly asking for password when iPhone is on?

Mail constantly asks for password. I have repaired keychain, deleted the email account and reset it. re-installed the system from scratch. It now seems that if the iPhone and the macbook pro are on at the same time the password issue is relentless if the iPhone is off then the password is asked for once only and then works normally. Surely I can have them both on. Yes I have the mail accounts prefs set up correctly. any help - please

John,
Try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Authenticated binding: Should be asking for password when joining OD?

Hello,
I have enabled "Authenticated Binding" under OD-Policies-Binding.
When I join a computer from Accounts to OD, should the OD be asked for password? It just presents the dialog for autoconfigure services and it just binds, without any credentials.
Is it how it suppose to work?
Regards
Kostas

So after unlocking the lock, entering your password, and clicking on Login Options, the checkbox for autologin is greyed out? Did you try clicking the toggle box anyway? Does that bring up a blank dropdown menu? Did you click on the little triangle?

IPad suddenly asking for password, when I removed the requirement 2 weeks ago. I can't get in. Help!

My iPad suddenly is asking for an Exchange password when I removed the password requirement completely several weeks ago, and it's been working fine without one. Additionally, it never recognizes the password when I do set one. I record it on a sticky note and leave it in my iPad, so there's no mistake. Now I can't get past the password box. Help!

This tends to happen when you add a Microsoft email or some other email that requires the user to automatically change your simple 4 digit "Simple" passcode to a more complicated passcode.
Just enter your 4 digit passcode and enter in a new complicated passcode.
you can then have the ability to remove the Microsoft Exchange email and switch back your passcode settings to simple passcode.
hope that helps

TS1424 why i am not asked for password when on mouse maze as grandson can get them without password

why am i not being askd for password on children app mouse maze as grandson unlocked anothr level and bought without password

On the iPad have you got Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'immediately' ? The default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need to be re-entered. You can also turn off in-app purchases via the Restrictions screen.

GMail keeps asking for password when other accounts are fine

Currently I am running 4 IMAP and 1 Exchange account on Mail. I am trying to add a fifth IMAP GMail account but can't get past the setup screen as it keeps saying my password is wrong when it clearly is correct.
How can I get IMAP running again and correctly on Mail?
Thank you

So I removed the buggy GMail account from Mail and waited a day. Today I decided to re-add it and all was well for one hour until the pop up for passwords happened again... I went into Preferences and accounts and saw my password wasn't stored so I added it and saved but still same issue.
Also I added this account to my iPhone and it was working fine til an hour again so maybe a syncing issue?

New Mac Book Pro does not ask for password when waking from sleep

I've noticed that several others are having this problem. I have tried all of the suggestions on the other posts and have had no luck getting it to work.
I have it set to "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver".
When I wake the computer in the morning it requires a password but if I wake it after and hour or two it does not. I have my screensaver set to turn on after 4 minutes but it never asks for a password when when I come back to my computer.
I think this is a bug and Apple should deal with it in a security update.
I'm open to any more suggestion though.
Thanks,
Tevadar

FYI, you can also lock your screen manually if you like. Launch Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access, select Keychain Access menu > Preferences > General tab, and check the box to "Show Status in Menu Bar." That places a padlock icon in your menu bar, and clicking on that will give you the option to Lock Screen.
