Nity wireless router under Yosemite 10.10.1. Doesn't recognize the password.

My HP Envy doesn't recognice the password to the Xfinity wireless router.   Used to work prior to Yosemite.

Hello @Suntorygr and welcome to the HP Forums!
I'd like to help, just curious, are you referring to an Envy printer or computer? Can you please let me know the full name of whichever it is (Example: Envy 4500, Envy 15, etc.)? Thanks!
Until I know whether you're referring to a printer or a computer, the best I can suggest is to power cycle your network/devices. To do this, turn off the Envy and the Mac. Once they shut down, pull the power cord from your router for 30 seconds. Once it's plugged back in and has all the lights back to normal turn the Mac and the Envy back on and try connecting again
Hope to hear back from you soon!

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

  • I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router.  It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

    I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router.  It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.  When I try it responds that the password is invalid.  I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

    Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

  • I am having difficulty in connecting my IPAD 2 to my DRAYTEK 2820n router.  Any suggestions as it will not recognise the password but my IPHONE 4 is perfectly OK.

    I have just purchased an IPAD 2.  I have tried to connect it to my DRAYTEK 2820n router but it will not recognise the correct password.  My IPHONE 4 has no problem in connecting to this router using the same password.  I understand that the wi-fi connectivity is the same for the two apple products so cannot understand why the IPAD will notr connect.  Has anyone any suggestions?

    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

  • WRT54G Ver.6 Wireless Router Won't Let My DeskotopOr Laptop Connect To The Net.

    I need some help. My laptop gets a great signal, but won't connect to the net, and my desktop shows that I am connected but no internet is being transfered to it from my router. I first did the power cycle thing, then I went in and reset everything back to the default settings on my router and tried to start over, but that didn't help either. The router is only a couple months old, and my desktop works works great when plugged directly to my modem. Any help would be great.

  • My printer no longer connects to wireless router... says it is off-line but the wireless light is on

    HP Photosmart C309a

    If you reset all settings, that should "forget the network" for you. But when you say that you already tried resetting the settings, were you able to reset them? In other words, were all of the settings reset when you tried it?

  • My pc connects to my new Optus wireless router but my Macs don't. I keep getting the message "The network "Optus mini modem" requires a password. It doesn't accept the password that works just fine with the pcs. Any ideas how to fix?

    Can anyone help

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

  • Yosemite doesn't recognize iCloud password

    I have Yosemite installed in 4 Macs. In 3 of them I chose a different password from iCloud. In the only one that I chose to log in using my iCloud password, it simply refuses to accept it in the first login trial after installation. Why?

    Hi bassemfrombucuresti,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iCloud on your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature or context of the issue you are describing. When exactly are you being asked for your password, and/or what are you signing out of? If you continue to have account or password issues with iCloud, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

  • Every time there's a power cut or I turn off my router, my Macbook doesn't detect the network and doesn't accept the password. Finally, after many, many attempts at solving with 'diagnostics', rebooting...the 'network changes' detected message shows.

    How can I get it to look for a network change - or find the change immediately - and speed up the process? Is there really a change? This has really frustrated me many, many times.
    I'm using 10.6.8 and see there's an update that supposedly helps airport problems but that people hatve problems with it. I'm having enough problems without those too!
    Thank you for any ideas.

    Take your battery out and reset your PMU.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
    Next time you shut down, wait until the computer is totally shut down -- i.e., make sure you don't hear your fan running, the screen is black and that the light is out on the front of the computer -- before you close the lid.
    I had that exact thing happen once, and since I done the above, it's never happened since.

  • TS1453 Apple TV doesn't show up in my iTunes.  I've done all the troubleshooting steps, updated all software, restarted Apple TV, wireless router and computer. Devices doesn't show up at all in my sidebar.Apple TV doesn't show up in preferences

    Help.  My Apple TV won't sync with my computer.  I've done all the troubleshooting tips, but Apple TV doesn't show up in my Preferences under devices.  
    2. Reconnect Apple TV to iTunes.
    Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows), click Apple TV, and make sure "Look for Apple TVs" is selected.
    I see no option to select "look for Apple TV's" in Preferences, and there is no device list at all in my sidebar.
    3. If Firewall is on in Mac OS X (in the Sharing pane of System Preferences), make sure iTunes Music Sharing is selected.
    There is no option to select iTunes Music Sharing in my System Preferences - see screenshot
    I've updated all software, restarted Apple TV, my wireless router, and my computer.  Both my computer and the Apple TV are connected to the same wireless network and both are operating properly.  They just wont connect to each other.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    FIRSTLY: bookmark following for further reference (it describes basic setup, both to link for syncing and to stream - from any computer.)
    Apple TV (1st generation): Differences between syncing and streaming" )
    Now as to your problem: If you check under "Computers" in the "Settings" menu you will most likely see the name of your iTunes library Greyed out. IF that's the case, you'll basically need to re-setup your ATV., you can do so as follows (instructions are intentionally over described, but basically your disconnecting then reconnecting your ATV1. Downside (which seems to come with all methods is that you'll have to resync all your media)
    **A (not ideal but effective solution)
    If ATV 1 had been working but suddenly 'disappeared" from iTunes sidebar
    The following solution will almost surely work  to regain your ability to Sync:
    QUIT iTunes
    Select "Computers" from "Settings" Menu.
    Select your "greyed out" iTunes library.
    This will bring up a window named "Disconnect from iTunes"
    You're now given the choice to Cancel, or disconnect. WITH THE WARNING that if you disconnect any  content synced with iTunes, will be erased. (in fact it will be removed from your ATV but not your computer)
    Assuming ALL of your media IS on your computer, Go ahead and disconnect.
    Follow instructions in the Apple doc above about setting up your ATV as a paired computer.
    After you ATV gen1 reappears in the sidebar. Reset all your desired syncing preferences,
    Begin syncing.
    All will be fine again, (at least till the next time this occurs.) I've had to do this twice this year.
    ALTERNATELY:
    SHARING (a QUICKER, less destructive TEMPORARY solution (if you just want to play your media now)
    You CAN set your computer to Share by following instructions in the same doc under the heading:
    "How to connect to a shared computer"
    HOWEVER, this will not allow you to sync info.
    I've read alternate solutions on this board, one involved changing the name of your iTunes Library etc... you may wish to try this first (if it applies) https://discussions.apple.com/message/17943841?ac_cid=142432#17943841
    What I'd like to know: What causes this problem...  I'm suspecting iTunes updates, or any iTunes database issues or crashes. Or maybe too many visitors connecting to your other Apple devices (ATV 2 for example) or heck the weather in Guatemala...

  • Network diagnostics is not accepting the WEP password on my wireless router. I know the password is case sensitive and was very careful in entering it but it still gives me the "Unable to join Wi-Fi Network" error message.

    I need help setting up the wireless router for my iMac. I did not know the WEP password when I first turned it on to set things up. Now that I know the WEP password I cant get Network Diagnostics to accept it. I know it is case sensitive and was very careful when I entered the password. What should I do?

    Hi, unfortunately WEP is about as secure as a bar of gold lent to a Gang Den! It can be broken in under 30 seconds these days!
    If the PW is ASCII, try enclosing it in qoute marks, if Hex try preceding it with the & or % sign.
    Also, is the Router set to only allow connect ion to MAC addies of the Interface?

  • Connecting A imac w/ a WRT54G Wireless Router

    See it above steps helps or not .......

  • MacBook Pro Cannot Connect to Wireless Router

    I have a brand new MBP and it won't connect to any non-apple wireless routers
    - my computer is 2 days old (it's awesome and I love it accept that I can't get wireless connection at home)
    - wireless router: westell versalink model 327 W
    - PROBLEM: my mbp will detect the network just fine, but won't connect to it...just times out, it will connect to a neighbors linksys, but cannot load any internet pages, so still not helpful. When I try to connect to the wirelesss router using the network utility it asks for a WEP password, which it never did before because it's an open wireless router. (I know you should always password protect, but it's not my router...I'm just in the same house)
    - I had a powerbook G4 and ibooks that have all connected fine to the same wireless network. My dad has an HP laptop that also connects fine
    - it only connects to the apple brand airport wireless routers
    - it will connect to the wireless router if I plug in the ethernet cord
    - I have tried checking the connections, allowing all connections, repairing my disk permissions (even though my computer is only 2 days out of the box), resetting the router, opening the router so no password is needed...NOTHING WORKS!
    - I also tried another wireless router (netgear): doesn't work
    I've been reading around in some forums and this seems to be an apple and maybe more specifically a macbook pro issue (just by process of elimination). One forum said that it was because of an airport update that basically "breaks" mbp's airport and makes it not accept any non airport wireless connections, apple supposedly is working on a fix but who knows
    I'm feeling disappointed and very upset that this is even a problem, especially with how many people I read are dealing with the same issue wit still no solution. My mbp was far from cheap and this just shouldn't be an issue. I'm planning on contacting apple and getting to bottom of this or at least some kind of answer.

    - it will connect to the wireless router if I plug in the ethernet cord
    this is because there is an actual physical connection between the router and the machine, so the router allows the connection automatically. i believe ALL wireless routers have a "Wireless Access List" in their config. the owner of the wireless router must add any machine or device seeking to gain access to the wireless router. consult your routers documentation on how to access the router from a web page and add your machine. this is usually done by adding the machine's mac address to the wireless access list. i added my 15"mbp and iphone to my netgear wireless router in about ten minutes and have no problem connecting every time.
    also, when making any changes in Network Preferences, be sure to "Apply" after any change or adding any wep key. let me know if you have any questions.

  • CC runs under Mac OS 10.6.8; not under Yosemite 10.10.2

    We are on a secure network via a proxy server. Adobe CC desktop app installs and works fine on Win 7 machines and on our older Macs running OS 10.6.8. However, on our new Macs running Yosemite 10.10.2, and the same proxy config as the older Macs and PCs, the CC destop app launches, asks for proxy credentials (which I provide), then goes to the Creative Cloud log in screen. After signing in to CC, it then goes again to the proxy sign in screen, with the previously provided credentials filled in, and just stops. Apple and Adobe tech support were of  next to no help. Since CC works on the Windows machines and on older Macs using the same proxy server set up, I can't figure out what's going on under Yosemite.

    RWV you will need to apply the same proxy setting change to Ethernet connection as well.  This preferences I showed are utilized to configure each network connection.
    If you continue to face difficulties then I would recommend contacting our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.  If you have a Creative Cloud for Enterprise or Team account then please have your program administrator submit a request.
    I would recommend running the log collector tool referenced at Log Collector Tool prior to contacting our support team. Please make sure to also have the all relevant information regarding your proxy server configuration.  This includes the type of proxy server being used and the version you are running.  If you do not regularly have access to this information then I would recommend including the individuals from your organization who do have those details in the conversation.

  • Need help hooking up my daughters computer on my wireless router.

    I am totally new to the wireless world.  I just bought a lynksys Wireless-G WRT54G wireless router.  I hooked my new Dell XPS400 via the wired connection and my son's Dell inspiron notebook up via wireless.  My daughter just got back from Hong Kong with a Toshiba computer and it sees my wireless network but it is asking for different information than my son's computer did.  All I had to do with his was give the Key code and reboot the computer and he was able to get right on.  Her computer is asking for the "Network Name (SSID)", "Network Authentication" and "Data Encryption", none of which am I sure what it wants.  The only block calling for a key # is grayed out.
    Is there anyone who might can give me some guidance on this?
    Thanks

    Family sharing is only iOS 8 (and later)
    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Use your Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
