Network not always requires password sign on

I'm using a tipowerbook running os10.4.2 w/ 802.11b card and connecting to the internet via an base station & extreme base station (at another location). This problem is occurring at both locations and has not been a problem until I upgraded to tiger.
Basically, sometimes when I turn on my airport card and connect to the base station it asks for a password to connect, other times it doesn't. I thought I had it set up so that it would ask for a password everytime - so I'm a little perplexed.
My concern is whether or not it's possible for others to connect to my base station without a password.
Just for the record its not configured to remember any passwords. I checked that first right away.
- thanks

Well I was way off. After trouble shooting to find out how I suppossedly corrected the issue I come to find out that both base stations are continuing to allow me to sign into them without a password. My previous post that my (APEBS) AirPort Extreme BaseStation had finally been configured turns out to be incorrect. What I've found out is that both my APEBS & my APBS (AirPort BaseStation) both require a password to sign on after the other has been accessed. But if i access the same BS twice in a row a password is not required. I have 2 base stations at 2 different locations using 2 different internet conections.
As it stands this problem remains open. I've thrown my arms in the air out of complete confusion. I would think this would be a simple pref button to check or uncheck but can't find it.
If i ever figure this out I'll post again to this thread. Until then . . . .
- Thanks

How to make private subscribed-to calendars ALWAYS require password?

Hi,
I've published a private calendar to my idisk, and i subscribed to it from a different computer with my idisk username and password and all is fine, EXCEPT :
It appears that once you subscribe to a private ical calender you only need to enter your password info once, when subscribing. After that, whenever i open iCal, it seems to display my calendar without ever prompting me for my password again.
I found that a keychain item had been created for the subscribed calendar (even tho i never even asked it to save my password), so I set the keychain to "always confirm before allowing access", with the "ask for keychain password" option checked. So now it does prompt me for my keychain password, but if i then click the "deny" button on the prompt, iCal still displays the subscribed calendar! So i'm not sure what the point of the keychain was! If I delete the keychain item entirely, then there's no authentication at all. The calendar just shows up.
Since i share the computer i'm subscribing from, i would like ical to request my idisk password (not my keychain password) every time i open it before displaying my private calendar. Is this possible?
thanks in advance for any ideas!

I tried that and got this error:

External. This is all for USB flash memory drives.

I have an HP Split. I had not disabled the password sign in

It will not let me past the main screen, despite using the same password I have used since I purchased it. It won't let me get to any other screen to even go to settings. Not sure what to do

Let's reset the printer. Turn it off, hold the # and 6 keys while turning it back on. Go to Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test afterward to see if it worked.

"Command Delete" a file always requires password

How to fix the permission?? It's so annoying that always ask me the password to delete a file.

EDIT: Forget the last... if it just happens with Trash do this...
Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
mkdir ~/.Trash
Press return.
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
Press return.
Enter your admin password (it will be invisible)
Press return.Then enter
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.

Some iOS devices always require password??

I'm experiencing unusal behaviour with my 3 iOS devices and the store.
My wife has an iPod touch which is signed in using my AppleID. I have an iPhone and an iPad on the same account.
If I purchase an app on the computer or on my devices it appears automatically on her iPod (as I would expect as we have sync purchases on all 3 devices)
If I purchase an app on my PC or on one of my iOS devices it doesn't appear automatically. When they are next switched on they ask for the AppleID password (my wifes iPod doesn't do this). Is there a way to fix this?
The only thing I can think of it that in the past both of my iOS devices have used a different appleID at one time. If this is the issue is there a way to clear this?
Thanks

Hi,
it seems that we had timeouts at night when connection to the exchange server via activesync.
We found this out while monitoring the storage latency on our NAS / SAN.
The latency where > 6s which belongs in an timeout. I think iOS stops syncing if it is getting a timeout for a longer period.

Time Machine configured Mac always requires password

I have a new MacBook air that I set up using Time Machine – fast and simple according to the blurb BUT now every time I want to open or move a file, I have to put my password in. Also, when moving folders, Finder copies them.
The only solution seems to be to change permissions individually for each file, but I have about 5,000... Any ideas?
I've already repaired permissions and updated permissions on master folders.

If you are going to steer clear of Time Machine, here are some cloning programs so you can continue to do a backup.

I have a password protected site in iweb, but how do I get my users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I built a password protected site in iweb and its published through mobileme. How do I get users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I wouldn't bother really - it would be best to concentrate your efforts now on finding another web host that you can move your site to because after the end of June this year, publishing to MobileMe won't be an option.
Have a look at GoDaddy, HostExcellence etc. and you can still password protect your website, but you just do this through your host/server rather than MMe.
Start looking now before it's too late!

Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

I updated from Snow Leorard to Moutain Lion and now my internet will not recognise my password. All other comps use the network but my Mac upgraded Mac Mini keeps coming up with either 'timeout' or 'user or password not recognised' ...help!

Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
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.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

Can't find "Require Password" checkbox when creating network on MBP

I'm trying to create a network as I've often done on a MacBook Pro.
When I bring up the window to create the network, there is no "Require Password" checkbox.
Does anyone know how to require a password please? I'm trying to create a little network for just my MBP, AppleTV and iPhone so that I run presentations via Airplay in a conference room, and I don't want everyone in the room logging onto my Mac. Thanks in advance.
MBP Retina 13" late 2013. Yosemite 10.10.2

OK I've managed to solve this problem but there's no rhyme or reason why what I did had any effect. I dug out the old printer and noticed that it was getting a 10.x IP address whereas the 710 was getting a 168.x IP address... that should have been my first clue, but I wasn't thinking. Nevertheless, I had no idea why it was getting that sort of IP address.
So, I went through the manual set up (again) on the printer, and instead of searching for the SSID, I typed it in manually. Now it gets a 10.x IP address and it's showing up on my network.
In the end, there is something screwy with the way the network software on the printer is handling its network search feature. Definitely an Epson thing, not Apple.

Why i always get "Network is trying to modify the system network configuration type your password to allow this

why do i always get "Network is trying to modify the system network configuration type your password to allow this"

Hello, let's see if this old cure still works...
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

Unable to Sign In - Username not found or password incorrect

Ok....don't get it. Just got the ATV2 today. However, everytime I try to setup home sharing...I put in my itunes iD and password (same that I used to setup home sharing in Itunes) I get the error message that username is not found or password is in incorrect. Yet its the correct ID and password. I updated Itunes this morning to the 10.0.1.22
My ATV1 is recognized by my Itunes just fine.....using the same wireless network. Yet..ATV2 has an issue. I checked the network settings...all hooked up. I can view movie and TV titles on Itunes....but it won't take my user id or password.
What's up apple?

The way I fixed it was:
Settings -> General -> Network
There I selected "Test Network"
during it test its requires you to Authenticate... it took the itunes username/password there when it wouldn't from other screens.
Once the test was complete when I went to TV Shows it then asked if I wanted to use the same itunes id... I selected Yes... and presto it worked.
Be well
