Problem after securing network

I secured my network and now i can't use my network on my work laptop.
According to my deskside support i need to figure out my SSID. How do i find my encryption type? Where can i find my password or network key?

Hello APaq17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
According to my deskside support i need to figure out my SSID.
The SSID is the same as the wireless Network Name. By default, your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) will broadcast a wireless network with a Network Name of "Apple Network NNNNNN" unless you changed it.
How do i find my encryption type?
By default, the AX's wireless network would be unencrypted. You enable wireless encryption by using the AirPort Utility. Depending on the model of your AX, it should be capable of providing the following security types: WEP, WPA, & WPA2.
(ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Security)
Where can i find my password or network key?
Again this would be something you would have created when enabling wireless encryption.

Lumia 800 crash problems after running Network Set...

Hi!
Long post coming up but if somebody at Nokia reads and makes sense of it and a fix comes about then it'll have been worth it.
Phone: Nokia Lumia 800 (sim free)
Firmware: 11500
Location: UK and Ireland
Since I got my Lumia 800 (November) I've been traveling between UK and Ireland a lot.
The phone works fine in the UK but in Ireland, when I put in my three.ie sim the phone keeps crashing during network related operations such as coming out of flight mode or reading/replying to a text message.
It's not a dodgy sim because this is the third one (I get a new payg sim each month) and this problem has occurred throughout.
At first I noticed that I could not configure the phone where MMS and internet data worked at the same time. If I added the 3internet APN then data worked but MMS didn't. If I deleted the APN then MMS worked but data didn't.
Another problem with this phone in Ireland was that it kept crashing whenever I took it out of flight mode. Again, this did not happen in the UK with my UK (Three network) sim.
As this has been happening from the first days that I got the phone I've been looking for a solution/workaround the whole time and I remember one of the first bits of information I found was somebody suggesting that the phone worked fine with the first sim inserted (which in my case was the UK sim). That stuck with me and when the Network Setup app (from Nokia) appeared I thought "ah! this makes sense, now I should be able to switch sims".
Unfortunately the app did not fix the problem of not having a unified network configuration for data and MMS.
This week I bit the bullet and reset the phone with the Ireland sim inserted. O...M...G...!!! Internet data AND MMS now work (in Ireland) and I have not gone anywhere near the APN configuration.
I used the phone for an hour surfing, checking emails, sending texts and MMSs, all was good.
Then I thought about the Network Setup app and wondered what it would do, so I ran it. The very next incoming text message crashed the phone! Then I rebooted and found that internet data did not work.
Next I repeated this process. Reset phone with three.ie sim inserted, checked that internet data and MMS worked (they did), ran Network Setup, internet data no longer worked, opened an incoming text...it didn't crash.
So, not a reproducible problem
Next test: flight-mode toggling. This one IS reproducible.
Location: Ireland
Sim: three.ie
Fully reset phone.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=12
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=11
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
So now I'm not going to run Network Setup, I'll head back to the UK on Friday and see if my phone continues to work properly with my UK sim.
Hope this helps somebody
Matt
[Edit]
Oh poop!!
Phone just crashed when coming out of flight mode and I have not run Network Setup.
MMS and internet data are working though so I'll just not use flight mode at night...or on planes

> Try moving closer to a window, or even going fully outside
Oh it's sooo tempting to click "Accept as solution"
But yes, one day, one day soon, I will go outside.

Rosetta Problems after Security Update 2012-001

My crack team of sys admins and I have devised a method for resolving some of the issues regarding the Security Update 2012-001 and Rosetta.
http://www.educate-it.org/content.php?130-Rosetta-Issue-after-Security-Update-20 12-001
Click this link for an Installer that will revert the files necessary for some Rosetta apps to run after the Security Update. This is a band-aid and is only recommended in emergency situations. Apple is currently working on a fix, but until that happens, we are stuck with reverse-engineering their update. I hope this helps those in distress from this update.

Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
If you have TM, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions, (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6 from the disk. Note: Does not touch your files and most programs, but backup your files regardless.
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.
If you get gray screen, hold the shift key and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Airport Problems after Security Update 2007-004

Ever since I've installed Security Update 2007-004 my Airport connection has been dropping about every 15 to 30 minutes. Sometimes Airport will stay connected but will stop working until I renew my DHCP lease (I get the same IP though). When it drops I click on the Airport icon to reconnect but my network doesn't always show up. Sometimes I have to turn Airport off and back on again to make it show up, and a few times I've had to reset my computer to make it show up.
I have a MacBook Pro with an 802.11n card. I'm using two different routers; one at work, and one at home. The work router is a Linksys N router while the one at home is a Linksys G router.
I've tried all the tricks. Repairing Permissions, deleting the extension caches, installing the standalone updater, but nothing is working.

Deleting AppleAirPort2.kext solved the problem for some...

Safari problems after "security" update

recently installed the new "security" something update restarted went to open yahoo via safari get the message " Safari can’t connect to the proxy server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://google.com/” because Safari can’t connect to the web proxy server (HTTP). To change your proxy settings, open Safari Preferences, click Advanced, and then click Change Settings. For help with this problem, contact your system administrator."
have the HTTP protocol checked
does nothing emptied the cache and reset safari along with doing another restart and still nothing loads
also i cant get the software update to run it fails and says "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."
ive hardly a clue what any of this is but i have figured out its not my net connection because firefox that im using to type this works fine. if a bit slow

HI,
have the HTTP protocol checked
Deselect any boxes ticked under "Select a protocol to configure" in System Preferences/Network - Proxies.
Relaunch Safari.
Your profile indicates your Mac is running 10.4.3. If that is the case, you need to click the Apple Menu/Software Updates. Minimum requirements for Safari 4 is 10.4.11.

Repeated Problems Accessing Secure Network - Which Pref Do I Delete?

More often than not, when I awaken my 20" iMac G5 from sleep or do a cold startup, it won't connect to my home network. It's an Airport Extreme closed network using WPA encryption. I'm running 10.4.6 on my G5. When this occurs, it tells me that none of my "trusted" networks can be located, do I want to logon to one of the other local networks in my area (there are a couple).
When I try to log on manually by selecting "Other" in the Airport menu bar dropdown menu, often it takes me 4-5 times to logon even though I know I'm entering the name, encryption level, and password correctly. The error I get is always "The selected network does not support this method of encryption" and gives me the option to try again. After a few repeats, I can get on.
I'm figuring that I have some corrupt preferences file or files somewhere. Do I delete them (if so, which ones?)? I've done both hard and soft resets, yet the problem has recurred.
Any suggestions for this annoying problem would be appreciated.
iMac G5, 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

On your Mac.......
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on WiFi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Here you will see the connection order list for your Mac
Make sure that your preferred network is at the top of the list. If it is not, drag it there.
Click OK at the lower right of the window then click Apply and close the windows
Restart the Mac to see if it will connect to your preferred network now.

System problems after Security Update 2007-007 install

Hello all,
I am having problems with my computer after installing the 2007-007 security update. Specifically, the keyboard and mouse become non-functional at random intervals. The system has not frozen up, though, as items on the screen continue to update. Each time this has happened, I have had to ssh into the machine from another one and reboot. I am on a dual G4 Powermac, 867 MHz with 2 GB of RAM running OS X 10.4.10. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this?

Hard to say. Have a bootable backup of your installation before the update? Did you repair permissions and repair the disk before installing? How soon after rebooting does the problem come back? Have you checked the console and system logs?

Problems after Security Update 10-05

Installed today's Security Update from Software Update, restarted, and ran Permissions Repair (as usual). As usual there were several Flash/Java permissions which needed fixing, but while this was happening I kept getting a window telling me that "WebKitPluginHost quit unexpectedly" and that a long report of tech-speak would be sent to Apple.
There's no sign of WebKitPluginHost in Spotlight, so I presume it is something to do with my only automatically loading Login item, which is DropBox. This guess was supported by the failure of Dropbox to launch at all, even when I followed the maker's advice and trashed all their settings.
I restarted the computer, re-ran Permissions Repair, disabled automatic loading, and re-started. Still no Dropbox. It was working fine before the Security Upgrade, so I presume it's a problem with the latter, rather than the former.
I ran Permissions Repair again, and it told me all the Java ones it had just repaired had to be repaired again!
Anyone else having post-Update launching or permissions problems?
Anyone have a suggestion?
Can I "Uninstall" the Update and see if that fixes things?
Will a "Safe Boot" ignore the Update??
Added: I tried restarting and logging in with a new user "Test" account, but the problem was the same, which I think indicates it is a system problem?
Message was edited by: makrhod

I tried 'Safe Boot", and had the same problem, but when I rebooted again in normal mode, everything worked! I don't understand why it took 4 restarts and 2 Permission Repairs to get things going after the Security Update (the only thing I have downloaded for a week or so, by the way), but my own particular problem is solved.
I'll mark this as answered, but someone else may need to post if they find the Update causes strange behaviour.

Afp connection problem after security update

hi, after installing the security update 2011-002 on the server i can't connect via afp to the server. passowrd ok, then no connection! where is the problem.

You're not posting near enough information to troubleshoot this. Have you verified permissions or checked to see if the share in question is actually being shared by AFP?

HELP - WGM problems after security upgrade!

Hi all,
After installing the latest security patch, I had users complain that the VPN was not allowing them to authenticate. Then, it turns out that AFP is not working. I tried to get into WGM using my diradmin account and am told that no account exists. I try with my own account (with admin priviledges) and get the same message. I can log into WGM as root but then get a message that "users" has not been mapped and then I am in WGM but have none of my users present.
I am on 10.4.9 server and have had no problem at all until now.
Thanks for any help at all!

Hi Scott
When slapd_macosxserver.conf file is created it contains an entry for the root user of the LDAP database – the directive rootdn. Don’t be confused and think this is the same root user that is enabled/disabled in Net Info Manager. This is the root user that sits behind diradmin which is created on Open Directory promotion. There is also an entry for the rootpw directive, this contains an MD5 encrypted hash of the root user’s password. This user and password can be used to manage the LDAP server even if PasswordServer is not running.
This is the important bit:
ANY user name and password can be used for the root LDAP user, the user does not even have to exist in the LDAP database itself, all thats required is that it exists in the conf file. Using the local admin account will allow you to edit the slapd_macosxserver.conf file to add a new password hash – plaintext can be used also. At this point that user can be used once again to administer the LDAP database. What happens is slapd assumes that this user name and password is the root user for the LDAP database and allows full access with no restrictions. This is extremely useful if the LDAP database becomes so damaged that no user records are readable – which I think is what’s happening in your case.
This method is also very handy if all passwords for users in the LDAP database have been lost or forgotten.
You should also consider using the usual drive/directory repair utilities such as Disk 4tility, DiskWarrior and anything else you consider useful. Repair privileges and permissions while you are at it. I would also prepare yourself in saving as much desired data as you can in case you have to do a rebuild.

Start up problems after security update 2014-002

Hi, after this update sometimes my Mac does not start up like it should: the Dock is not appearing and the screen is flashing between fully grey and thenormal background. The only cure seems to be to restant a second or third time. Already resetten PRAM, used disk utility (no problems) and repaired permissions. Does anyone else has encountered this problem? Thanks

I have always had good luck with DiskWarrior. I've had serious issues and DiskWarrior has always come thru .
Are you nervous because you have never used DW before, or are you afraid it will hose your system?
By your report, it kinda sounds as if your hard drive has either failed or on it's last leg.
I'm guessing you had issues with the drive before installing the update and you did not know it. Updates tend to point out problems in a big way sometimes.
I run repairs on my hard drive before installing any updates.
I don't remember, does Jaguar have S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk utility? If so, what does it say about your drive?

Problems after security update 2012-001, 1.1

Two troubling occurrences after this install. Downloading software upgrade from Canon.com, I got Error 404. Reported it; rep said he had one other report like that. He was interested to hear I'd just installed the latest sec. update. He had me try several other urls, both of which gave error 404. He hasn't gotten back to me. Yet.
Second, I applied for the instant credit card from Barclay in order to buy the new iPad. Completed the application and hit submit. The expected "Processing..." mini-window appeared but disappeared within seconds and I was returned to the application screen with no further activity from their side, and no email from them. The site finally timed out.
Any ideas?

Even the Apple KB site had a problem of this sort at one time…
It would be surprising if Barclay's, which is directly linked to the Apple site, would be unprepared to receive applications from people using Safari.
I don't know… Nowadays, when it comes to banks, I'm ready to believe anything.
Anyway, check their on-line banking help or support pages, they must state what browsers are supported.
It's perfectly possible that they do support it and the issue is something else -- you may have cookies disabled, or JavaScript turned off, maybe even something related to the update. Again, it's the kind of stuff you should find on their support or help site.

Have you any idea to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
These symbols are from Apple's Last Resort font, and indicate that a major problem has arisen with the OS's ability to use the basic system fonts. It's been reported here a few times, and I think the only solution is to reinstall all system fonts. See Kurt Lang's post.

Booting problems after Security update

Hi,
A couple of days ago, I did a Security Update and an update of Safari or Quicktime, I'm not sure. Afterwards, when I started my computer (an iBook G4, 3 years old), it shows the grey Apple-screen and then switches for a second to the blue Mac OS-screen with the bar that should be filling up. However, no filling up happens and a blue screen appears where the mouse-pointer can be seen and moved.
I tried starting up with Safe Boot, but the only thing that happens, is that the spinning wheel on the grey Apple-screen turns quite a while longer. Afterwards the exact same things happen.
I also tried booting from 2 Install Disks, both however not the ones that came with my Mac. (That one I can only get back in a couple of WEEKS.) One of those disks came with an eMac (Mac OS 10.3), the other one with a rather recent MacBook (Mac OS 10.4). In both cases, it won't boot from the disk. With the 'old' one, I get a black screen with mouse-pointer (not moveable) after the grey Apple-screen. With the 'new' one a blue screen appears after the grey Apple-screen.
Can anyone help me?
Tx,
Bas

Did you do a backup before updating? Did you repair permissions before and after, as well as repairing the drive with Disk Utility beforehand?
I know you can't install an OS with a disc that came with another model computer. I'm not sure if it will even let you boot from it, or maybe in some cases and not in others. Have you tried booting in Single User Mode?
