New 27inch iMac keeps asking to choose Wifi network. How do I stop it?

I recently purchased the new 27inch iMac and i'm really enjoying everything except this little annoyance. Everytime my computer restarts or goes to sleep, it automatically asks me to join a wifi network when I start it up again. I've already selected my home network as my default network that I want it to connect to but it keeps asking me to choose a network anyways.
If I 'x' out of the the wifi selection window, it will automatically connect to the default network it's supposed to. I just want to know why it's asking me every single time I log in.

seems that the card takes a few seconds to wake up after the iMac awakes from sleep. It eventually connects to the prefered network. But the dialog box continues to show up when the the MAC is waken up...

    How can I make my MacBook Pro stop asking for my password every time I go in and out of the internet?  Thanks

    You need to enter the passwords for your wifi router/modem. Ask the person who set up your new modem.

  • IMac keeps asking to be restarted

    My iMac keeps asking me to re-power up. After I do this, the screen comes back with the same request to re-power (restart) the computer.
    Any advise on simple trouble shooting I can do at home.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Discussions - a couple of things to try are resetting the PRAM, also the SMU:
    1. Turn off the computer by choosing Shut Down from the Apple menu, or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
    2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
    3. Wait 10 seconds.
    4. Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
    5. Let go of the power button.
    6. Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
    You can also run Disk Utility to check your drive:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    And last, but not least, use the Apple Hardware Test on your install disc.
    Do let us know what you find out,

  • I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

    I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

    Hello TirEoghain,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

    you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
    next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
    once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
    turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

  • I'm trying to move a video file on to my airport time capsule but it keeps asking me to click Authenticate - how and where do I do this?

    Unmount the TC disk and manually mount it in Finder..
    Use Go, Connect to Server.
    Type in the network name or IP address thusly.
    AFP://TCname.local (TCname is the actual network name of the TC.. this is not the same as its name unless you use correct SMB naming.. so simply fix the name or find its network name. local is domain). 
    or
    AFP://10.0.1.1 (That is default IP, type in your TC ip which should only be used if static)
    When you do the above it will request a password, type in your TC disk access password.
    You should be able to copy files to the TC now.. but please remember the TC is not a great place to store files and Time Machine cannot back it up.

  • Just bought an i pad and am being asked to choose a network then complete a security question..help

  • IMAC can not see any wifi networks at all?

    IMAC can not find any wifi network at all. A few days ago the Imac suddenly had no wifi and on turning the WIFI on and off it became apparent that when it scans for wifi it can see no wifi networks at all. I have several other computers and they all see the wifi networks fine. I assume it is a hardware issue but the hardware test I preformed comes up with no errors. Anyone got any ideas?

  • HT1695 when I choose Wifi network it goes to IP address instead of allowing me to put the password?

    hen I choose Wifi network it goes to IP address instead of allowing me to put the password?

    You're tapping the blue button to the right of the network name. Don't, tap anywhere else in the network name.  (That's my guess)

  • My Macbook Pro keeps connecting to the wrong wifi.  How do I stop it from doing this?

    My Macbook Pro keeps connecting to the wrong wifi.  How do I stop it from doing this?

    Select the wi-fi tab in the menu bar then select "Open Network Preferences..." Select the "Advanced" button, then select the network that it is interfering with your MBP, then hit the - button and it will "forget" that network. Hope that fixes your problem, good luck.

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

    you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order
