Problem with security settings on wireless network

I swapped out an old D-link router for a new D-link gigabit router and am now unable to get the security settings to stay on WPA2. I can set it okay, but the padlock doesn't show up next to the network name and when I go back to system preferences it has reverted to "none" under the security settings. Any suggestions??

Hi Bernd,
Thanks for the quick reply! And: of course there is no Acrobat Reader As everyone around me calls it like this I just wrote w/o thinking about it. Sorry!
I passed your answer to my colleagues searching for a solution. Obviously they made the right settings but the other side using the Reader had a too old version in which commenting was not possible, yet.
Hmm, all this hustle for no reason...
Anyway: thank you very much for helping!
Take care,
Birgit

A problem with Security settings.

Good afternoon. We have just set up a new 802.11n Base Station to compliment our eight other Base Stations. These eight are an older version running V 5.7 of the software. Security on the older ones is set at WEP 128 bit and I need to set it at the same level for the new Base Station. But WEP 128 bit does not seem to be an option.
With WEP 128 bit security, our users can logon to our LAN via AirPort without having to know the AirPort network password.
This new Base Station wil not let users logon at all via AirPort until they join the AirPort network using its password. Without being able to logon, they can't join the network. Thus they are in a loop!
I'd appreciate any help on this issue please.

With WEP 128 bit security, our users can logon to our LAN via AirPort without having to know the AirPort network password.
That is not possible. If 128 bit WEP is enabled, anyone joining the wireless network will need to know the encryption password established for the 128 bit WEP. Typically you only need to enter the password once and the computer remembers the password for you.
If no password is required, you do not have wireless encryption enabled.
Wireless encryption (WEP, WPA2, WPA) does not apply to Ethernet clients.

Problem with security settings

Dear all,
We have the problem that we create a PDF with CS3 (compatible down to Acrobat Reader 5) with no security settings.
This PDF is sent out to a colleague who's only having an Acrobat Reader installed on his computer. When he's checking the security settings, there are several security settings done. He urgently needs to comment things.
Please help. We are desperately seeking
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Problems with Installing iTunes and wireless network connection

Every time I attempt to install iTunes it completely kicks the internet off and an error comes up that the wireless network adapter to not connect or is not detected. My internet service is connected to a router which I receive wirelessly to my laptop. I do not understand why it is happening and to get the internet to work again I needed to do a system restore. Any ideas why this is happening. Also when iTunes was installed it came up correctly, it would just not connect to the net. I have had a previous version on my old laptop but since purchasing this new laptop I am having such difficulty. On another note, if this problem can be resolved, once iTunes is working is there a way to get the songs from my old computer onto the new? Thanks for the help in advance!

I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

Problems with security settings and itunes updates! What do I do?

So I preordered a cd that became available today. When I went to download it, a message came up saying that I need to download the latest version of itunes (7.-[can't remember the last part]but anyways) so I clicked on the upgrade icon. I then got a message saying "your current security settings do not allow this." No matter what I do with my security settings I keep getting this same message! I have windows xp, please help I would really really like to be able to download and listen to the cd I've paid for! Thank you in advance!

Maybe you aren't on an admin account in Windows? If not, create/logon to one and install it.
Or maybe you just need to go to the website and download it instead of updating through iTunes. Go here:

Intermittent Print/Scan Problems with Canon MF8380Cdw on Wireless Network

For nearly a year now, I've experienced problems printing and scanning using the Canon MF8380Cdw on our network. The most troubling are the intermitent problems getting the printer to respond during a print job after the device has been found on the network. Less troubling but still annoying are the problems scanning: it's very difficult to initiate a scan job. It usually requires trying to initiate the job from the printer AND from the computer in quick succession. I have reinstalled drivers many times. Why isn't printing and scanning effortless?
Print sequence messages in the Canon MF8300C Series print manager:
Printing - Looking for printer: takes a long time.
Printing - Connecting to printer: takes a long time.
Printing - The printer is not responding: takes a long time; indicates failure.
Some information that may help:
The client software correctly identifies the printer's IP address.
The wirless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation.

Canon MF8300C Series driver, version 10.0.0

Base station, laptop, and printer are all in the same corner of the same room--signal strength is not an issue. Have had problems, previously, when printer was connected to switch via ethernet. So... Nice thought, but I don't believe that's it.
Other things that didn't work: restarting printer, restarting computer.
Is it possible that OS updates mess with the driver, requiring reinstallation? Our PC users do not seem to have these issues.
I am also using a non-UFR II driver this time, but per a suggestion from a forum, I tried UFR II previously. I have read many forum exchanges involving Canon/Mac problems and have tried several solutions proposed by PAHU.
Reinstalled printer driver again today, and I can print again (for now), but it's an intermittent problem, likely to return.
Thoughts?

HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again. The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

I can send but cannot recieve email
This is the messege I am gewtting:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

"there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am connecting wirelessly

So basically I can happily see all my movies etc on my TV via Apple TV but they appear to play but with no image. Sound is OK! Then the ATV decides something is wrong, reboots and says "there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am trying to connect over wifi.
I have original ATV
Thanks in advance
Daniel

You may have some software corruption or the unit may well be starting to fail.
Hold menu and down arrow for 6 secs to reboot the unit to the diagnostics/service menu from where you can reinstall the original shipping software (some have had issues updating beyond version 1.0 if that's what's on it) but first I'd try to run the diagnostics utility though it often passes this even if there are issues.
Always worth unpowering the AppleTV and letting it rest for a few minutes before restarting - this can sometimes reset thing that a powered reboot won't.

My security key in Wireless Networking Properties ...

My security key in Wireless Networking Properties keeps changing. Itself to an eight digit key which I can't access. How can I stop this from changing itself, it started happening when I upgraded to infinity end of August beginning of September.
When I put in my wireless key info as printed on the card I get a reply that keeps saying the details are wrong, yet my wife has had no problems on her laptop for some reason it keeps defaulting back to this 8 digit code.
The operating system I am using is windows vista home edition
Help please this is becoming a bit of a nightmare .
Thanks
Chris

Superscout,
You need to tell the operating system that you are using. That is windows xp/vista/7/mac.
Then someone would definetly help you.

Problems with n97 apps connecting to network (Voda...

Problems with n97 apps connecting to network (Vodafone UK – 3G)
Recently a number of my apps which used to connect automatically to the internet (which ever was available – known wi-fi or 3g) have stopped doing this. They now only connect to one known wi-fi.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling each app, but this hasn’t solved the problem. I’ve checked for software updates and do not believe any have been applied or are available. All apps have been downloaded via Ovi on the phone. I still am able to access the internet by the web browser which was installed on the phone and via google maps (which also still manages GPS position, search, etc).
The apps which I notice causing a problem are:
Sainsbury’s/nectar
Tesco
Map my tracks
Snaptu
Opera Mini
Any one got any ideas???

I have the same problem since i updated my mac to 10.5.6.
Each time I have to do a diagnostic and retype the WEP password to have the internet connection.

Problem with Mail settings - PDF document is not sending

Hi Experts,
During sales order confirmation, a PDF attachment used to be sent.
But now the customer is receiving the file with extension as .OTF instead of .PDF.
Where could be the problem with this? Is this something wrong in SOCT setttings?
But for some other scenarios, the same is working so i don't think that there is a problem with SCOT settings.
Please let me know if anybody has an idea about this problem or susgestion to find the problem
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Gangisetty,
I guess there is no need to change any settings.
You just need to change format from OTF to PDF using some FM.
You can refer following links for conversion of OTF to PDF.
Re: sending INVOICE as attachment in PDF for external Mail address
FM to send an email with a PDF attachment

Hope this will help you.
