Need to enter WPA key every time i re-connect?

I have a small network of one wired PC, one wireless PC and a wireless laptop. I messed something up while trying to add our new itouch to the network and now, the laptop is asking for the WPA key every time it re-connects. As of right now, the wired PC is also the only one getting on the internet. We are using the WRT54G v.4, running windows XP on all three computers and i'm about to throw them all out the window. Please help. By the way, the laptop has a different IP address then the other computers...is this a problem too? Thanks in advance.

All the computers on your network should have different IP addresses, but they should all be on the same subnet 192.168.1.x . If your computer fails to connect, it may show a 169.254.xxx.xxx address. This address simply means you failed to connect. It comes from Windows, not the router.
First, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, in the non-working computers, temporarily turn off the software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps you make a connection.
To fix the recurrent WPA key entry problem:
In the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will clear any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. Your computer should connect automatically to your router. If you still have trouble, make sure your computer's software firewall is off.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Also, please note that WPA = "WPA with TKIP", and WPA2 = "WPA with AES".
If you are using WPA2, then note that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
If you need more help, please state the computer software firewall that you are using.

No Final Cut Studio System ID file: Must re-enter the SN every time.

I was having trouble with needing to re-enter the FCS 3 SN every time I open an app. I am going mad. Another thread said to delete the Final Cut Studio System ID file then restart the program. Well now I have no Final Cut Studio System ID file and I STILL need to enter the SN every **** time I launch a program.
This was an upgrade from the FCS academic version.
Any help?

OK, let's give this a try.
First, let's create the systemid file again by launching Final Cut Pro and and re-register. This should create the files in the /tmp/ directory.
Then run this command in the Terminal.
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.aelwriter.plist
launchctl start com.apple.aelwriter
Finally, run this command in the Terminal. It will ask you to enter your admin passward.
sudo /usr/sbin/AELWriter -installer
The files should have moved from /tmp/ to /Library/Application Support/ProApps/. If not then, something might be preventing from moving those files... perhaps a permission problem?

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access 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, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

I have (sorry forgot to add that). I was switched around and finally I was told I would be put through to a supervisor but after being on hold for about 10 minutes the phone went dead, I did not lose connection so I do not know if I was hung up on or there was some technical difficulty. I called again yesterday and did in fact speak with a supervisor for Account Security but he told me he did not know why it was happening and put me through to a different number but that ended up not being any helpful either. That's when I decided to give it a shot on here!

Is there a way to access my voicemail without having to enter my password every time?

Is there a way to access my voicemail without having to enter my password every time? Or is the only way to check emails is to click on the voicemail icon and enter password?

For that, you would probably have to create a contact and place it on your homescreen. I don't know if there are any settings where you can have the voicemail icon automatically call, although there may be. You can name the contact you place on your homescreen "call voicemail" or "voicemail", though.
Edit: keep in mind by setting up your voicemail number like I had previously described, anyone with access to your phone will now have access to your voicemails. If you are like me, though, that won't bother you.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

Hi,
One thing to check is the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall. When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'. You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
When windows has reloaded, you may or may not need to use recovery manager to reinstall your original Audio Driver as detailed in the document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 8.

iOS 7 will give errors on non Apple certified peripherals. So make sure you only use Apple certified products. Did you backup the phone and then RESTORE AS NEW (not reset)? Try doing that by plugging the phone to iTunes on a computer. See if that helps. If it solves the problem, there could have been corrupted software on you phone. If not, it could be a hardware issue (including the battery), in which case you would need to go to a Apple Store or authorized service provider.

Can not get connected to my WIFI, every time I get connected it take me to a blank screen, can not get connected to my WIFI, every time I get connected it take me to a blank screen

can not get connected to my wifi, every time I get connected it take me to a blank screen

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 iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

Every time my phone connects to ovi suite via blue...

I have a 5800 XpressMusic with software version 51.2.007. I am using Ovi suite version 3.1.1.90 on windows 7. every time my phone connects to ovi suite and automatically syncs, 2 "bluetooth messages" are recieved (just like when I send a picture to the phone via bluetooth).when I attempt to open the message, an error message shows up on the phone that says "Messaging: feature not supported".
This seems to happen just after contacts are synched, and began happening with the latest update to Ovi Suite.
I would prefer to not have to delete these messages constantly.

Hi All,
For assistance about any unresolved concerns or complaints about your device, we highly recommend that you use the "Contact Us" link at your local Nokia website or get in touch with your local Nokia Careline.
Kind regards,
