Repeatedly prompted for a wifi network when already connected (iPad Air 2 / iOS 8.1.3)

Hey there
Subject says it all: since the iOS 8.1.3 update on my new iPad Air2 Wifi/GSM 128GB, I keep being prompted to choose a wifi network even when already connected to my home network or tethering on my iPhone. It's quite a pain to type a mail when I have to stop every few seconds to answer or cancel this stupid prompt window.
Oddly enough, it works all right on my iPhone (otherwise, I'd use 4G).
Anyone's got a nice trick to end that issue? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.

I have to MBPs one one wifi network; when one connects, the other disconnects. Can't keep them both connected. Any advice?

Hello,
We have two MBPs on an Asus router (N56U) and we find that only one computer can connect at a time. Within a few seconds of the other connecting, the one that was connected disconnects. When we try to log on again, we're told that the connection timed out. Or it "connects" but there is no internet. Any advice?
Thank you!

Hi Silvergc,
Thank you for this. I agree: the problem seems to be either the router or the modem. I now have an Airport Extreme and am hoping this solves the problem.
Only now I have another problem--the airport utility can't find the airport extreme if I plug in an external harddrive into the airport extreme. I should start another thread for this, yes?
Thanks again Silvergc.
Yours,
Christian

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

[Maybe solved] Repeated prompts for username and password on HTTP(S)

I'm new to IOS but I'm taking ICND 1 and ICND 2 to catch up. I've gone as far as configuring a 3560 switch from "scratch" in a test environment, and am in part one of ICND 2.
Setting this switch up for HTTP administration, I've been prompted repeatedly for my username and password both when using a browser directly and when using Cisco Network Assistant (currently 5.5). This is different from the production switches I'm working with, that will prompt me once only and let me work. At first I suspected this was because I'm trying to use SSL and an in-house certitficate authority to sign the switch's certificate, but this is happening in plain HTTP as well. If I'm persistent enough, I eventually get the pages or configuration screens I want.
The difference between the production 3560s and my testing one, is the test one uses IOS 12.2(53), the current version. The production ones use 12.2(25)SEE3 through 12.2(35)SE5 and probably everything in between. I'm also experimenting with the releases that includes the web-based device manager on my test switch, but the behaviour is similar whether the image has the web-based manager or not.

In an update to this problem, I've reverted the switch I've been testing back to 12.2(35)SE5, which is what the majority of my production 3560s use. It appears to behave in the same fashion: Repeatedly asking for credentials over HTTP(S).
While my non-production switch has a local user database set up, my production switches use two ACS servers. The relevant bits of the running config are:
aaa new-model
aaa group server tacacs+ mcbhtacacs
server 10.1.2.221
server 10.1.2.222
aaa group server radius mcbhradius
server 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
server 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
aaa authentication login default group mcbhtacacs local
aaa authentication login LOCALAUTH local
aaa authorization exec default group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting system default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa session-id common
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.221 key 7 [censored]
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.222 key 7 [censored]
tacacs-server directed-request
radius-server host 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server host 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
Another switch that does work without repeated prompting has these relevant bits:
aaa new-model
aaa group server tacacs+ mcbhtacacs
server 10.1.2.221
server 10.1.2.222
aaa group server radius mcbhradius
server 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
server 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
aaa authentication login default group mcbhtacacs local
aaa authentication login LOCALAUTH local
aaa authorization exec default group mcbhtacacs local
aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting system default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa session-id common
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.221 key 7 [censored]
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.222 key 7 [censored[
tacacs-server directed-request
radius-server host 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server host 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
10.1.2.221 and 10.1.2.222 are the ACS servers, running ACS 4.1 and are linked to a pair of Active Directory domain controllers.
Aside from host names, these two switches appear to have an identical AAA configuration. So why would the first switch repeatedly ask for credentials over HTTP when the second switch with the same software does not?

Just bought a new iMac, with Lion, for my wife. When is was wifi with her old iMac on line with it's printer, HP C6200, no problems printing. Now that it is by itself it does not recognize the C6200...It recognizes my laser hp 1012 and laser hp 6300

Now that it is by itself it does not recognize the C6200...It recognizes my laser hp 1012 and laser hp 6300 but will not print to them wanting an autenication

How is the C6200 connected to the iMac, is it via USB or Wi-Fi? If it's via Wi-Fi please make sure it's connected to the router using the printer's Network Wizard. Then click System Preferences - Print & Scan and assuming the iMac is on the same network as the printer, if it is the printer should be seen. If it's not then click the + sign and add the printer.

Repeated prompts for Apple ID password in iTunes

I can sign in to iTunes with both of my Apple ID's but then get repeated prompts for my password when I attempt to access purchased items or account information. No similar problem on my Mac Book Pro or iPad.
I have de-authorized and re-authorized the computer for both ID's. I also looked for the SC folder but it cannot be found (Apple advises trashing it). I therefore have no access to recent purchases or my own account information. Help anyone?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1

You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account. Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer. Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.

Why am I prompted for a serial number when trying to open an acrobat PDF?

Prompt for username and password when executing servlet

In Weblogic 5.1 when I set the username and password in weblogic.properties file, it prompts for the usertname and password when I execute the gatewayServlet
weblogic.allow.execute.weblogic.servlet.servlets/gateway.administration=vijay
weblogic.password.vijay=password
But I guess this is not the way it can be implemented in 8.1. Please let me know how I can prompt for username and password when executing the servlet. I dont want it to be done programatically. Please let me know whether I can set anything on the properties file.
Thanks

Outlook 2013 - Exchange 2013 - Prompts for username and password when EWS basic authentication is enabled

So we have an Exchange 2013 environment, and a CRM solution that requires basic authentication to EWS internally. Problem is, after a reboot of our Exchange server, all of our Outlook clients begin prompting for username and password (which nothing
works) which also starts locking users AD accounts out due to failed login attempts (somehow). If I disabled basic authentication on EWS, Outlook authenticates as normal using NTLM and there are no issues. Once Outlook has authenticated, I can
turn back on basic authentication, and Outlook will be fine until the next time the Exchange server is rebooted.
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook client prompted for username and password when Exchange server restart and basic authentication is enabled for EWS.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
It’s normal. This caused by the difference between basic authentication and NTML authentication:
Basic, with any version of Outlook prior to 2010, results in a pop up dialog asking for creds. Outlook 2010 makes the 'save this password' actually work, so in an Outlook 2010 or later world, Basic can mean no need to authenticate every time you open/reconnect,
but in all earlier versions, you will have to enter creds every time.
NTLM, when used by a client that is domain joined and logged in with cached creds, results in the client simply sending the cached in creds to the server, resulting in what looks like a pretty seamless single sign on experience. However, if you want to do pre-authentication
at something like TMG, and not let the traffic go all the way to CAS, you need to configure TMG for this.
Thanks

Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.

I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
The computer just can't remember it.

Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone? Thanks.

It rather depends on where you are seeing the demand for a passcode. If, as I assumed, you are trying to change the password at http://appleid/apple.com then that will ask for a passcode if 2-step verification has been set up. On the other hand, if, as Csound1 has assumed, you have changed the password on that website and are trying to enter it in your phone (for which you need to sign out completely before you can do this) and are being asked for a passcode that can only be one you set yourself (unless of course the phone is second-hand in which case that would open a whole new can of worms).

Setting iOS DNS for All WiFi Networks

This article describes how to set the DNS for WiFi connections on iOS:
http://techinch.com/blog/change-your-dns-settings-on-iphone-ipod-touch-and-ipad
The problem is that it specifies DNS for an individual network
connection, not for all connections.
Does anyone know a way to change iOS DNS for all WiFi networks in one
fell swoop?

I have my ios devices DNS set via DHCP
You'd have to move to an MDM solution if you want over the air, push profile configuration setting to the devices
such as osx server Profie Manager. You may be able to do it with custom settings, I haven't tried it myself
The basic wifi setting in OSX server PM only allow settings for wifi SSID password etc
no DNS settings ip address etc. alternative MDM solutions may give you more options
