NetworkManager : stuck at "waiting for authorization"

Hi!
Installed Arch on my Thinkpad Edge E125 and now having a little problem with NetworkManager in KDE.
I'm certain I've installed pretty much everything needed to make wireless connection possible, the command
iwlist wlan0 scan
is able to produce a list of wireless routers.
But trying to connect to my home wireless router always stuck at "waiting for authorization" and eventually failed.
I have WEP encryption and double check it to be correct. Wireless worked in other distros.
Any suggestion you might have?  Thank you.

Yes I did. Tried entering dozens of time actually.  Thank you anyway.
Now moved to Opensuse and now despite having the correct modules being loaded, my network interface is invisible to the OS!!!
Might return to Ubuntu, where everything just works or cave in to Windows 7 if my patience run out.
For months struggling with one form or another problems with Linux, I just miss more and more of the days where I could could simply get stuff done.
Sad but true.

  • Hearthstone stuck in waiting for authorization

    When I bought a arena admission I got a blue wheel spinning and saying Waiting Authorization, its already been two days what should I do?

    TTry this, reset your iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. After it starts up, see if the authorization completes, if it didn't, and you haven't made the purchase yet, just try agin.

  • ITunes stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

    Here are the symptoms I'm seeing:
    - If I restore my phone, or delete/reinstall iTunes, or uncheck "Sync Music", wait for a sync to complete, recheck "Sync Music", ONE sync attempt will complete. I try adding one additional song and re-syncing the device, it gets stuck.
    - If a sync doesn't complete, it gets stuck on "Waiting for items to copy" or "Waiting for changes to be applied". Via fs_usage, it seems like nothing is happening during this phase. I've left it for two hours and it doesn't move on from this phase unless you manually cancel the sync.
    - It's manifested itself on two different phones - an iPhone 4S and a iPhone 6.
    - Each phone has enough space for the items I'm syncing
    - Sometimes iTunes or gets confused and moves the entire music library on my phone into "Other". Recently I had 42GB of "Other" on a 55GB device. See attached screenshot: http://monosnap.com/file/AaDzqWpgtNXtfTYdy8iscfTKrkZGWC
    - The problem has persisted across multiple versions of iTunes (at least versions 11 and 12)
    Here are the things I've tried to solve the problem:
    - Restore the device - as mentioned, works one time, further syncs fail
    - Turn my laptop off and on
    - Turn my phone off and on
    - Replace "iTunes Library.xml" by moving it to the Desktop and rebuilding the file (really fun as I lost all playlists, import date info and most played information by doing this)
    - uncheck Sync Music and recheck it - as mentioned above, this works one time, this method is also error prone (takes 3 or 4 canceled syncs before it decides to actually transfer the songs)
    - signed out of Apple Store
    - repair disk permissions
    - repair disk
    - trace iTunes process with fs_usage, will try dtruss next
    - remove the SyncServices/Local directory - didn't do anything
    - remove iTunes and every trace of it I could find (com.apple.itunes and related plist files) and reinstall from the Internet - I got one good sync after this and then it got stuck again.
    I would appreciate your help as I'm at wit's end here. If there are any debugging logs or further information I can post, please tell me - I'm a software engineer by trade and have a fairly good idea of how to operate a machine (though not really how to debug a closed-source binary, maybe I should learn how).
    Thanks,

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

  • Bought a Brand New iPod touch, my entire music library WILL NOT SYNC (stuck on waiting for changes)

    I just bought a new ipod touch, and I'm really struggling to not throw this thing against the wall.
    My music won't sync. Its stuck on "Waiting for Changes to be applied"
    Im not trying to sync anything else, no video, pictures, apps, anything. Just music. My old iPod touch syncs just fine. I can't restore it, because the restore takes it back to when I was setting the ipod up. I factory reset my ipod many times. I've tried manually syncing songs individually but it hangs on the same spot.
    My mac is up to date, my ipod is up to date, my itunes is up to date. What the **** can I do?

    I have been able to get SOME songs on by doing artist one by one. I also took off all album art. I have only 10 songs or so that I have bought so this is all my own stuff. I just bought a refurbished ipod touch from the apple store. It seems weird to me that it is not all ipods, just some and with the searching I have done, it was mainly Sept to Nov of last year there was issues.... I feel like returning my ipod and hoping I get one with no issues.

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation is stuck in "waiting for changes to apply" during sync

    My iPod touch 3rd generation is stuck at "waiting for changes to apply" during sync.  I have the latest update and the latest version of iTunes downloaded.  Any suggestions for a remedy to this problem?  Thanks!

    Here is the link for the downgrade from Apple.
    Link: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1103
    Here is the Link before you install Apple 10.3 downgrade Read Oct. 17th the 1st on of the 17th.where I said "A" OKAY
    Link: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16500143#16500143
    I went into my desktop PC the to Start/My music/iTunes folder.
    In my folder there was nothing called ITunes Library.itl., but I had file called iTunes Library, in the center of it labeled "Lib", so I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl.backup" Then went to the folder from iTunes" Previous iTunes
    Library" and copied and pasted mine was iTunes Library 2011-04-02 right into the iTunes main folder.
    Close your iTunes folder and then install the previous ver. 10.3 of the Apple link. I did not reboot PC. Did not use Cc cleaner nor add/Remove. then after 10.3 said finished installing 10.3 I clicked on my iTune Icon and iTune came up, iPod not plugged in yet.
    Then I clicked on "let iTune to find all my music and install them", said towards bottom of iTunes.
    Why we don't have the answer but iTune will put all your music in but you will have duplicates of the songs, so you will have your work cut out for you, takes time. plus some of my Artwork was missing, but I save that too.
    I'm not Responsible for this instructions, this is what worked for me.
    I think everything here is in order. Lot of my information came from all of you guys.Thank you. took a lot of reading, and trial and errors 2 1/2 day latter.

  • IPhone 4  OS 6 - Facetime is stuck on Waiting for activation.....

    Hello,
    I recently got myself a new iPhone and I have been unable to get my Facetime to boot up.  It has been stuck on "Waiting for activation..." for over a week and I am unsure how to proceed to get it to start to work again.
    If anyone can help me that would be great.

    I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
    I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
    All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
    No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio.

  • Why can't I activate my iMessage? It's been stuck on "waiting for activation" forever

    I just don't understand why it's been stuck on "waiting for activation"

    Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup.  Should fix.  You will not lose texts, etc.

  • Messages says an offline person is "Waiting for authorization"

    Messages lists two people as "waiting for authorization". I never asked them to be buddies in Messages. One name I don't recognize and I think is a spammer.
    I can delete them from Messages, but when I restart they are relisted in the same condition. How do I get rid of these annoying entries?
    PS I have no Jabber accounts. Just Yahoo, iMessage, AIM and Bonjour.

    Answered my own question. Opened Yahoo! Messenger on my iPhone, listed offline contacts, went to Show Profile for each person in question, and tapped the Delete button for the contact.

  • "Waiting for Authorization" issue

    I am having an issue with a couple of users on my iChat server. They cannot add each other to their buddy list. On each system is stays on "Waiting for Authorization" in the buddy list in spite of the fact that both users approved each other. I've tried deleteing their entries in their address book and then re-adding tham but that does not help. I can successfully add my account to them and vice versa but they cannot add each other. Can anyone shed a glimmer of light on this one. Greatly appreciated!

  • Why is my iMessage stuck on 'waiting for activation' for hours. I've just updated to I.o.s 7 last night?, Why is my iMessage stuck on 'waiting for activation' for hours. I've just updated to I.o.s 7 last night?

    HI,
    i upgraded my iPhone 5 to I.o.s 7 last night and I was sending texts from an email address which I didn't want. Now I've taken off my email address yet my iMessage has been stuck on 'wAiting for activation'?      
    EEven whe I was texting via my Apple ID, it was showing this message?
    CAn anyone help?

    Hello, I can understand how frustrating this is.
    I spoke to Apple just now, and they're aware. There's no solution, except to wait it out. Because of the 5s launch and iOS 7, Apple's servers are supposedly being hammered. A more senior Apple rep thought there will be delay up to 48 hours.
    I have a 5s, and so does my friend. We both have the same issue as you.

  • Inhibit "waiting for authorization"

    We have set up a new OSX.6.6 server with iChat service as well. For unknown reason all user do not see the list of all subscribed users in iChat.
    Because we are a closed community, everybody can chat with everybody, no one wants to block anybody. This nasty "waiting for authorization" after adding a contact manually is absolutely not necessary.
    Is it possible to inhibit this authorization procedure with a set up on the server?

    Remove them for iChat (and the Address Book entry that relates if applicable) and re-add them.

  • IChat, Waiting for authorization

    I have:
    a Mac and want to iChat.
    a Google account.
    The other person I want to chat with has:
    a Mac.
    a Google account.
    When I added him as a buddy (via the plus sign at the bottom right corner of the iChat screen), it says "Offline, Waiting for authorization".
    To him it says that I am offline.
    I have opened a Jabber and AIM account, deleted my Gmail account and re-added, restarted the computer, and none of these methods have worked.
    This computer is registered under the person I want to chat with but under his .mac account. From work, he is wanting to log in under his work Gmail account and this is the one I am adding to my buddy list. Please help.

    Hi,
    A GoogleTalk Account needs you to add it exactly as your name appears when you are Logged in to the Google Mail Web Page.
    It also needs you to have Enabled Talk in your Google Account settings (Even adding it as a Jabber account and changing the server name).
    Although the Google servers seem to treat [email protected] and [email protected] as the same as far as email is concerned it is different when adding your own Account to iChat or the Screen Name of a Buddy.
    Now it appears you were logged in which suggests you Added your Screen Name/ID correctly as an Account.
    iChat is somewhat fussy about Authorisation.
    It sends this request once. (Other apps repeatedly sending it until the person Accepts or Denies)
    This means iChat needs the other person to be on line when you add them.
    Alternatively add them in the Google Mail page Chat section (they will appear in iChat automatically)

  • Messages "Waiting for authorization"...forever

    My parents live in another state and would like to video chat. Simple enough. However Messages REFUSES to cooperate. We both have iCloud accounts and have added each other to our buddy lists. On both sides we see the generic "Waiting for authorization" next to the buddy icon. No notification is being sent or recieved on either side, even if we "Request authorization". Nothing. I've tried changing the network type from Jabber to AIM on both sides as well. Again, nothing... Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks Eric! We'll definitely do that. Very annoying that you can iMessage someone from Messages, but not createa a "buddy" for the buddy list. Not very intuitive....
