Networking and Passwords

Have a G4 800DP and a G4 400 linked in a network to an HP4550N Laserprinter via a Netgear Router and hence to the Internet.
After a not so recent dissembly, relocation at a new house, and reassembly all is working well except----
Cannot access either G4 from the other G4 because have forgotten the passwords used for the neccessary connections in Network.
Also cannot change passwords because of this forgettfulness ----
Would like to be advised how to work round this problem.
Help !?]
G4800DPG4 and 400G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
G4800DPG4 and 400G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Typically, routers have a "reset to factory configuration" switch or Web menu. This should reset you router. As for the Mac, boot from an OS X install disk and you can access the reset password function for the OS.

How can i get my ipod touch5 to remember the network and password

My ipot touch 5's will not automatically joing to network. I have to manually put in the in encryption kep every single time. It is programmed to ask to join networks and sees ours, but doesnt joing with password automatically. Help>

On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.
By the way, there was no missing manual. No manual was supplied.
If you cannot find the answer by:

by looking at the online manual;

Parallels, Windows Corporate Network and Passwords

Hi there,
I am one of about 15 people in my company that use our MBP on a windows corporate network. The LAN is secured by username and passwords. We are forced to change our passwords every 3 months or so.
I use mainly my Mac to run most applications. However, there are some applications that run only on Windows and for those, I use Parallels on my Mac to run Windows and connect to those applications.
Since changing my corporate password I am continually being locked out of my corporate account. There might be something somewhere in Parallels or in Windows that is storing my old password and sending that across the network. Then the network locks my account.
If I never boot up Windows, I can run just fine on my Mac with my current password. But as soon as I boot up Windows via Parallels, I get locked out.
Any ideas on where the old password is stored. I've looked through all my keychains on my Mac and all places I could think of on Windows. Or could it be Parallels storing it?
Trouble is, I'm not very familiar with Windows. Need some guidance here.
Thanks,
Angie

I had a similar issue with SMB Manager (to connect SMB shares automatically once I log in to the Mac Pro). After looking around I guess I realized everything on the Mac uses the Keychain and once I opened it and got rid of the stored credentials there, all started working fine again. Parallels may store credentials there as well. I would recommend taking a look there.
For the Windows side, you do not mention if the VMs running on parallels are part of a domain or not. If they are, there should be no issue otherwise you will need to change your password on the VMs to match the domain/AD account password (assuming they have the same username).

Printer made new network and password

i tried to connect printer to an already working home wifi network, but the printer made a new network with a new name and password. That's fine though as my tablet somehow connected itself.
my problem is that I don't know the new network password (as the printer made it up) and i can't connect my iphone to the wifi without a password. how do i find out the password??????

What printer? What router? What operating system on your computer?

Why will my iPad not remember my network and password?

Frequently, I pick up my iPad and it has lost the network's name and password. Why is that? The network is on a Linksys router.

Needing to rename my wifi network and password using Panther

My computer just broke down, and a friend gave me their old macbook. Because they did not have their installation cd, there's a limited amount of things I can do to reset the system using my information, but I at least want to reset my wifi network name and password. I'm not incredibly tech-savvy, so I was hoping to have help with this! My friend never upgraded from Panther (**** them!), so I'm having trouble finding information on this elsewhere. Please help!

Resetting a wifi network name and password requires you to change those settings on the wireless router itself. The OS the computer is running makes no difference.

How do i find the wifi network and password for iphone 4s

how do i find the wifi network name and passwordfor iphone 4s?

Well Netgear will not know your password. The factory default user name for netgear is usually admin and the factory default is password is password. Go to an internet browser and in the url windo type in 192.168.0.1 and if I am right a login window will appear. Try the factory defaults.

WDS Extended Network and Passwords

Hi. I setup a WDS network with an Airport extreme base station as the main and an Aiport Express as the remote. It works perfectly as it extends the reach of the network to all my house. The only issue is that when I try to setup the WPA passwords (to protect the network) the base stations stop recognizing each other and I lose the extended capabilities. When I switch back to no passwords, everything starts working well again.
Any suggestions?

A "static WDS" arrangement requires that all stations have the same settings for a number of things, including encryption type and network password. Have you been successful in changing those values on both units and still find that they don't communicate?

How do i personalize it and password protect it?

My internet works, I was trying to set up my new airport extreme and my computer froze in the process and now it works but the light blinks amber and its an open network connection that anyone can connect to. I tried a factory reset, but it won't go back to the easy setup process like the first time. It just opens and my computer connects. Any thoughts for how to rename the network and password protect it?

To rename the Network Name: AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Network Name
To enable wireless security: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Security. I would recommend using "WPA2 Personal" for the security type.

How to force users to enter their ID and password ?

I am considering installing AirPort Extreme at our office. We don't want guests connecting to our network. is there any option/software that will force the guest to enter an ID and password to connect to our network ? This is similar to what happens at the hotels when we try to connect to hotel's network.

The AirPort Extreme does not have the features necessary to create a "splash page" that provides basic information about the company and asks users for their identity and password....like you see at most hotels.
Basically, with an AirPort Extreme, users would have to scan to look for the name of the wireless network to join, and then enter the password to connect.
The best that you might be able to achieve with the AirPort Extreme is create a "hidden" network, which would require that users know both the name of the wireless network and password to connect. However, based on experience, this might be more of a hassle than anything else.
The bottom line.....Apple really designed the AirPort routers for home use, so that might be the best place for them in most cases.

Our iPad air keep kicking out of the Apple TV. None of the other iPads we have on the same network and the same content do this. The program kicks off the AppleTV and starts playing on the iPad about every 10 minute

We have used the 2 Apple TVs and the 5 different IPads successfully on both Apple TVs. But the iPad air, on the same content, on the same network, on the same Apple TV drops off the Apple TV and the content starts playing on the iPad. When we choose Apple TV on the AirPlay button, it starts playing on the TV again. It does this about 6-7 times an hour. We have the latest software update. We have also deleted and reinstalled the App to play the context (iView) and it still does this.

Hey there TandViv,
It sounds like your other iPads work correctly when Airplaying to your Apple TV, but one disconnects about ever 10 mintues or so. I have a few thoughts for this issue you are seeing. First, try closing all the apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test it again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists try resetting the network settings on the phone and see how that works:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Old name and password won't work when networking to new Win7PC.

I have a name/password problem when trying to network a new Win 7 PC via a new Netgear 2200 Router to a MacMini.
It networked 100% OK with the old XP System and old Netgear Router, but now when I click on the PC icon that shows up in Workgroup the old password doesn't work and there is a different popup menu that won't allow the old name and password.
Interestingly the Mac Mini still networks with the XP laptop using the old pupup box with name and password.
Netgear say it's not their problem - even though they list 'mac compatible' on their box.
The PC manufacturer (Acer) say Mac issues are outside of their free technical support.
Apple support said the Macmini was 'out of warranty'.
So I'm stuck using a USB stick or email to transfer files from one to the other!
Please help, I need that network connectivity back asap.

Option 1
If you've enabled root logins, log in as root and promote the other user to an admin.
Option 2
Recover your entire system from the last Time Machine snapshot taken before the damage was done, if you know when that was. Afterwards you can restore any data that has changed since then from a later snapshot. If you’re an advanced user familiar with the shell, there may be a quicker fix, but I prefer not to get into that.
Option 3
Back up all data, then boot in single-user mode (command-S at startup.) When the text stops scrolling, follow the prompts to make the boot volume writable. Then enter the following command very carefully:
rm -i /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
You should get the following line of output below what you entered:
remove /var/db/.AppleSetupDone?
If you do, then enter
y
and press return. Then type
reboot
Press return again. The system will boot into the Setup Assistant, as if you were setting it up for the first time. Skip the prompt to transfer information. Create a user with the same name as the old admin user. Log in and test. You may need to recreate your other user accounts, if any. Their files won't be deleted.
Option 4
If you're not comfortable with any of the above options, get someone more experienced to help you. One way to do that is to make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. It's a free service.

I am connected to my home wifi network. Why can't I sign in??

Not sure, but iAd Producer probably has nothing to do with this.
Did you try posting in a forum that discusses iPhone, or FaceTime, or networking?
I searched and this looks like the best fit : https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone

Contact the University's IT dept, they may be able to set something up on the network to allow the ATV to connect without the need for a user name/password.
