No Auto Log In

Old Snow station died, so I am now upgraded to a new Airport Extreme on my Dual 1 Gig G-4 running OSX 10.4.6.
Under my Snow airport, the system auto logged into the network 100% of the time and remembered it's network name.
Now, I manually have to choose the only network it sees..to get it to start the connection.
What am I doing wrong, and is there a way to get it to automatically open the netowkr connection without me having to manually open it?
Also experiancing some "momementary drops" where for no apparent reason the strength bar goes from 4 to zero and then comes back full strength.
Takes some getting used to and never had either issue with the old system!

Got it!
Open Network Prefs
Highlight Airport
Open Options
Highlight "Automatically Join"
Seems to have worked in my case.:)

  • Wifi: No longer auto log-in to home wireless network

    My late 2011 MBP (10.7.3) is no longer auto logging in to my home network.
    I finally got round to upgrading my old (like 8 years) modem/router for a current model D-Link Wireless N ADSL2+ DSL-2740R. link (I think this just replaced the previous model of the same name.) I gave the network the same name as my 8-year-old one and the same login password.
    Everything works fine and wifi is WAY faster. Wired connections are great.
    But I can no longer persuade my MBP to auto log-in to my home network. Every time I wake my MBP from sleep I now have manually to pull down on the wifi menu (network) list and locate my home network again. I tried re-ordering the list to put my home network at the top of the preferred list of networks but the problem persists. It was working just fine before the change and always auto-logged-in to my home network upon awaking from sleep or booting.

    It looks like manually deleting my whole preferred network list and then re-adding my home network may have done the trick.

  • Safari Reset, cookies cleared, but I'm still auto-logged in on a forum?

    I've noticed on a few forums I use that despite clearing the cookies from Safari manually or just resetting it with all options checked, even though it shows that there are no cookies set in preferences after these operations I'm still being auto-logged into some of forums. This is Safari on 10.5 Leopard.
    The login data for these forums is definitely cookie based as well because I've tried visiting them with Firefox on my Windows machine, logging in with "keep me logged in" checked, and then reset Firefox. Sure enough revisiting the sites shows me as logged out.
    Not only that but Safari on my iMac which is running Tiger works as expected on the same sites. Its just Safari on Leopard that is apparently ignoring my reset command?

    Well I assumed I had been, I was using the "Reset Safari" menu option and one of the selections is to clear the cache and it is selected.
    I have been trying this now since I posted and it looks like I've sort of worked it out now though. I tend to reset safari then instantly quit the app with Command+Q. It seems like when I was doing that I managed to do it so fast the reset command wasn't completing before the app quit, meaning some cookies/cache/whatever remained intact.
    I used reset and let it sit their open on a blank page for ten seconds before I quit and when I restarted it I was no long auto-logged in to the websites. I can only assume therefore this was the problem, although, I didn't think I was that quick at quitting the app?

  • Resolve error in Firefox 7.0.1 - executing an auto log-on produces the following error message: XULRunner-Couldn't load XRE function?

    Following an upgrade from Firefox 6.0.2 to Firefox 7.0, this error appeared in response to accessing Firefox! Executing an auto log-on produces the following error message: XULRunner-Couldn't load XRE functions.
    Also, following an upgrade from V7.0 to V7.0.1, the same error occurs.
    Following the In-place Upgrade from Vista Home Premium x64 to Win 7 HP x64, the RoboForm2Go taskbar is no longer on the program display page, rather it is confined to the bottom taskbar. This is likely due to a reported incompatibility between Roboform2Go and Firefox v7.0 (and 7.0.1).
    Further, there was a failure of RoboForm2Go Log-ins from the bottom quick-start taskbar.

  • Guest account and auto log out

    I will be using Snow Leopard machines in a computer lab with guest accounts. However, I've read that when the idle timer ticks over, the dialog box confirming the Guest account's files will be deleted comes up and does not time out (like a normal account would).
    So the machines never auto log out. In an environment where most users don't log off to protect their privacy, this is an annoying problem.
    Is this still an issue? Is there a way to turn off that dialog box confirming logout? Or some other way to get my Guests to auto log off?
    Thanks.

    it would actually be pretty easy to create a automator script that runs a bash script like "sudo exit" which would then prompt for the password of a admin.
    i also did a quick google search and found these:

    the second one will probably be more helpful but hopefully this little nudge will help out.

    Origins is an EA product so I would suggest checking with EA or Electronic Arts to see if the Origins servers are having an issue or checking your user name and password with them.

  • Set iChat to prompt me for passord instead of auto logging in

    How can I set iChat to prompt me to enter my MobileMe password when I open iChat - a simple secure measure that doesn't seem to be an option in this program.
    I erase the password from the acct. settings and my acct. is 'Offline' when I open iChat but when I change my status to Available the acct. auto logs in...
    I guess it got my MobileMe password from MobileMe system prefs...
    Anyone how I can do this!?

    Umm,
    Very Odd.
    In the KeyChain Access > Keychain Access menu is the Keychain First Aid.
    I would run that next.
    I would also think of Repairing Permissions.
    On top of that I would go to your Home Folder/Library/Keychains and do a Get Info on your Keychain and check in the Info window, near the bottom, that you have Ownership and Read/Write permissions
    (The little Cogwheel looking icon at the bottom will confirm who the Owner is even if greyed out)
    If there are other Accounts in iChat and Mail those will still work.
    We are talking about the MobileMe account/Screen Name logging in, aren't we ?
    Of course in Changing the Access Control of the Keychain/Password thing you also have to have removed the Password from the Box in iChat and Quit the App before changing the access otherwise you may find iChat just writes another Keychain Entry. (Same for Mail - although if one writes a new item the other is probably using it.)

  • Auto log-in has gone away

    Aloha.
    I am up and running with most current versions of Safari in Lion. There are a variety of sites I visit, some free, some subscribed, which require log-in. Prior to moving to Lion/Safari 5.1, I could return to these sites, and I would auto log-in. Now, I have to present my credentials every time. Any idea why they did this?

    Quit Safari.
    Open Keychain Access   /Applications / Utilites
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the keychains for the sites you have problems logging in.
    Relaunch Safari. Make sure User names and passwords is selected in Safari / Preferences - Autofill.
    Navigate to a site, enter your login data, click Yes when prompted. That should create a new keychain for you.
    If not, click Keychain First Aid from the Keychain Access menu bar. That may help also.

  • I want to disable auto log-out

    I have a Mac Air OS 10.9.5.  Normally, when I it is either idle for a time or I close the computer, it goes into sleep mode  (but it does NOT quit all applications and log out) and requires a password to use it again -- that's the way I want it.
    But sometimes, it when it goes idle or I shut it, it logs out or there is a count-down to logging out that I need to cancel when I come back in.  Although I DO want to have to key in my password, I don't want to have to log back in because when it logs out, it quits all my applications.
    How do I retain the password function while disabling the auto-log-out function?

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy
    If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your login password when prompted.
    Click the Advanced button and, in the sheet that opens, uncheck the box marked
              Log out after … minutes of inactivity

  • Auto log out issue

    Since upgrading to Maverick, my iMac has started to log out after about 15-20 minutes of inactivity. The energy settings are 1hr computer sleep and 10min display sleep.  And I have tried both unchecking the auto log out in “Advanced” Security & Privacy, and checking the box and setting it to 360min. Also tried deleting a couple of the Library/Preferences files that have been suggested before.
    The computer first goes to screen saver at 10min, it can be awakened to the desktop, but if you leave it inactive for 15-20 min it will first go to the screen saver, then log out after another 5-10 min to the login screen. The apps that were open will re-open when you log back in.
    iMac 2.66 Core 2 Duo(early 2008), 4 GB SDRAM(early 2008), OS X 10.9.1

    I would like to add to this issue, just noticed that even though the screen saver is now set to 15 min, the display goes to screen saver at ~5 min. The clock in the upper right corner shows the correct time.

  • Won't remember my auto log in password for SKY...have to manually insert password every time. all other sites are OK..

    whenever I use SKY for my email [ many time a day] - ([email protected]) Firefox won't remember my password (it's in settings - show passwords - so I know its there..) So every time I have to enter it manually - it's becoming a bit of a pain....
    All other sites I access using passwords (YouTube / eBay ect) ALL auito log in properly - I've tried deleting from the saved password list and adding again but it still won't auto log in..what's up...???

    Try this if you met the same problem
    Syndrome:
    The wireless network name appeared on the System Preference>Network>Airport>Advanced>Preferred Networks List, but every time when start computer or wake up, a popup window said "None preferred network is available" and ask me to select a new net work, if I select the same network, the password is there. The system keychain can remember the password but System preference cannot remember the Preferred/Joined wireless network.
    Reason:
    Fix to this problem that strangely centred on the specific location of the “System Preferences.app”, if other than the standard location of the root of the “Applications” folder.
    If you have moved the System Preferences application (not alias, actual app) to any other location for any reason, your newly joined preferred network will NOT be properly remembered and will NEVER be properly rejoined.
    Solution:
    1) Move “System Preferences.app” back to “Applications\”.
    2) Delete all instances of “Preferred Networks” in “Network Preferences”.
    3) Delete all “Airport network password” instances in “Keychain Access”.
    4) Restart your Mac.
    5) Add/Join applicable preferred network using the Airport pulldown menu or in Network Preferences (as if for the first time). Use “Advanced” in “Network Preferences” to confirm the existence of your preferred network and the correct settings. Use “Keychain Access” to confirm the existence of the applicable “Airport network password” instance and the correct settings.
    6) Restart your Mac. The OS should now find your preferred network and join it on its own. Good Luck!
    NOTE: Simply moving back System Preferences will NOT suffice. Deleting and re-adding/joining the preferred network is a must after the app has been moved.

  • Auto Log-ins messed up

    I don't know what is going on.
    This morning out of nowhere, none of my auto log-ins work.
    My ISP.
    YouTube
    eBay
    Amazon
    stuff like that does not recognize me and needs at least two more steps than yesterday.
    I did a MacScan and it looks clean. And Safari is set to do it auto.
    What is up ?

    I didn't sign into it or anything but I did click the link to the bogus page, before stopping and reporting it to amazon.
    That probably caused the problem with Amazon cookies. I'm wondering if it also had the same effect on the others you mention (pure speculation).
    While it's helpful to Amazon etc. to report suspected phishing e-mails, opening the e-mail does raise a flag relative to security concerns.
    Apple has gone on record saying OS X Leopard will offer "security enhancements including anti-phishing protection in Mail and Safari, and an automatic firewall that limits network resources available to an application". How that plays out functionally remains to be seen.
