Says my Wifi password incorrect all of a sudden

I've been using my ipad (newest version) for 6 months with no Problem- all of a wifi says password is incorrect..my network is recognized and every other wireless thing we have in the house works fine- I've tried rebooting router, resetting all things in the ipad, rebooting the ipad, turning up brightness- I don't know what else to do short of a trip to apple (ugh).. I tried to pair it with my iPhone hotspot ( which used to work ) but I can't do that either- says pairing unsuccessful.. I have a verizon Fios router
Thanks

Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on. If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct. If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
Hope this helps!

Hi All, I've had a movie on my ipad for 2 years that I can watch on a plane, no wifi. Now all of a sudden with the updates recently, it won't play with wifi off. What do I do?

Okay, IGNORE. I realized I was missing an update. I did it just now, to 7.1.1 and it's working now. Weird. hope it stays like this.

"Wifi password incorrect". Authenticating......PROBLEMS!!! Our Razr M is crazy!

We have a Razr Maxx. A few months back the wifi would not connect only at our home. Outside, it would connect to other available wifi resources. We contacted Verizon. They say contact our ISP..We have a DSL line with HawaiianTel. They walk us through the whole modem/wireless router setup/reset. My Droid Ultra has no problem connecting to the wifi at home. The Razr Maxx still wont connect saying that the password entered is incorrect. HawaiianTel sends us a new modem/wireless router. We set it up. Laptops in home connect with no problem. My Droid Ultra connects...no problem. Razr Maxx?? Big problem. It "sees" the connection but says password incorrect. We contact Verizon. They are clueless. They put us in contact with Motorola Tech Support. They do an over the air connect to the phone. They, too, go through all procedure and cannot connect. They say to mail them the phone. A few weeks later the phone returns. A note says hardware change. I, personally, take out the internet connection already existing at home and redo all. Everything connects. Raxr Maxx...no connect. I keep trying for an hour. All of a sudden....success!! Wifi available and connected. Everything good. Last night, 1-22-14, the Raxr Maxx shows no wifi. We go through everything. All laptops enjoying great connection. Droid Ultra has great connection. Razr Maxx goes on a trip away from home today. It connects to other wifi. What the heck is going on? Can anyone answer this? We are using Windows 7 Home Premium. The wireless Network Adapter is a RealTek RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Adapter. The Modem is a Motorola modem with built in wireless. It is a DSL connection. We are using WPA2/Personal for secure access. All other devices in the home can connect. The Raze Maxx sees the wifi connection and others,,,but will not connect. I challenge all you supertechs with this one.

Someone on a different wiFi thread suggest this:
"I had the same issue. After receiving a replacement phone that did the EXACT SAME thing, I dug a little deeper. I had already scoured the discussion boards and not seen the fix. Then on a whim, we tried going to Motorola website. Come to find out, Motorola KNOWS of the issue. It is a compatability issue with Realtek wireless adapters on VISTA, Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 The fix is simple. Google realtek adapter and download the latest driver for your operating system. Windows 8 is from 1-15-14 I believe. Then you might have to change the settings on your adapter in the connections center of your computer to b/g not b/g/n. reboot and try. So far so good on mine."
I have no idea if this will help, just passing on what i read.

IPhone 6 won't connect to home WiFi - Password Incorrect!

So, I got my brand new iPhone 6 yesterday.. Everything seems to work fine, except for internet connection..
Every time I attempt to connect, it rejects me, and tells me that the password is incorrect.
I also, can't really reach the the network by walking only 10 meters away.. I really have to stand right next to the router to get a chance.
I've tried reseting my phone completely, and it still doesn't work.
I can easily connect at school, that why I really can't decide if it's a hardware issue, or if it's my home network.
I just don't get it... Because we're a lot of users at home, we got tons of devices connected to the specific network. And its working impeccable.
So my question is.... Does this have something to do with iOS 8 and it's wellknown bugs, or do I have to get my iPhone replaced?

I just tried this and it worked, hopefully it works for you too, I have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out and nothing worked, I tried rebooting both my phone and the router, turning the airplane mode, etc etc I even took the password requirement off my router and still it would say "unable to join network"
All along it was my router and not my phone.
The routers have a list of allowed devices, called MAC filtering addresses, I had to manually add my phone's address and that fixed the "incorrect password issue"
I went to General > About > Wi-Fi address (copy that long number/letters thing) then log into your router and access the MAC filtering allowed devices list and enter that address in there and save it, that indicates to your router that your phone is allowed to access the network.
As soon as my husband added that address I tried entering the network password on my phone and finally it connected
Good luck!

Error 3924 wifi password incorrect

I recently received an Apple TV (ver 3) as a present, and am struggling to get it to connect with my WiFi network. I receive the error "The WiFi password you have entered is not correct. Try again." (error 3924).
I have a dlink router model DIR-615, which works fine with my iMac (hard wire connection), and three other electronic devices, all wirelessly connected. My wireless network is set up using WPA2 security.
The Apple TV sees the network OK, and will connect without any problem when there is no security enabled- I was even able to update the Apple TV's software over the network. But when I re-enable security, I'm back to the same error.
There are three "passwords" associated with the router:
- the WPA2 key, a long series of numbers and letters a through f (not really a password, but part of the security)
- an administrator password, used to gain access to the router's settings
- a user password
I thought that the Apple TV was looking for the user password, but when I enter that password I get the error message. I tried entering the other two 'passwords' to no avail (same error). All the passwords contain only letters (caps and small) and numbers.
I am working on getting wired access to the television area, but it is a long-term project. In the meantime I have no interest in running an unsecured network. According to what I have read Apple TV connects fine with WPA2 secured networks. I have restarted both the Apple TV and router, no effect.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I figured it out. The router I have puts what the Apple TV calls a 'password' in a wireless management setting called "Pre-Shared Key", the WPA2 key mentioned in my initial post. This is where I entered the password, and after entering the same password in the Apple TV, the connection was fine. Got tripped up with the terminology!
Cheers!

ICloud keeps saying username and password incorrect.

One minute fine, now all my devices have the same issue. Cannot Get Mail and then asking for password. Anyone else? Only way to retrieve email is online and the password works. ugh

Same problem here. I just switched to iCloud from MobileMe this weekend and it's been an absolute nightmare. MobileMe always worked fine. Here is what my problems have been so far.
1) After switch to iCloud - Mail.App on Lion worked fine, iPad and iPhone worked fine. Outlook 2010 on Win 7 refused to connect, kept asking me for user name and password. Read like 100 articles of people with same problems. Checked server settings, checked SSL setting, blah blah.. Nothing worked.. Finally, tried the suggestion of setting a new password. Sweet, that worked!! All was well again.
2) Fast forward a day - Outlook 2010 on Win 7 refuses to connect again. iPad, iPhone work, Mail.App gave same error as Outlook once, re-entered password, all was well. I was able to log into iCloud.com and see mail as well. Again, reset my password after hours of screwing with it. All was working again.
3) Last night, checked my mail from my iPhone. )(&$)(&@$)(&!#, Username or password incorrect. WRONG.. Go into settings, set my password, it comes back with the three checks for validating the password, it can see my storage, everything else iClould related works just fine. Open mail, bad username or password.
4) Woke up this morning, same problem still. Now, if I go to iCloud.com and log in, I get a failure to open mail if I try to use mail, just get an error that mail has failed to load and do I want to report it to Apple. Still gives same error on iPhone. Yet, get this.. Works just fine in Outlook 2010. Can send and receive mail no problem. I tried deleting my account on the phone and readding it, turning mail off and on. Everything works except mail still.
HELP!!!!! This blows...

Macbook wifi not working all of a sudden

So while doing a fresh install of ML on my unibody MB I ran into a snag just a few moments ago. Everything installed no problem, I updated to 10.8.1 yesterday and all was well. Today I installed a few other apps (skype, iLife 09) with iLife requiring a reboot. Once rebooted I was unable to get a wifi signal.
At first the little icon at the top bar was blank indicating wifi was turned off. I selected turn wifi ON and it now says looking for networks and after a few moments it fills the blank icon with grayed out lines, yet it never finds a network to connect to, just keeps looking. In system prefereces/network the wifi status shows to be OFF. Pressing "turn wifi on" next to the status does nothing. The button lights up blue when pressing it but it has no effect on the network status. Network Name shows a grayed out "Wi-Fi Off". I have done several re-boots and several shut downs and battery removals all without solving the issue. Using network diagnostic does not turn the wifi on either, just gets stuck on scanning. Connecting an ethernet cable gets me online no problem.
My other mobile devices indicate that my wifi network is alive and well. This led to me to think that perhaps the hardware crapped out, which would be strange that it did that all of a sudden. So I took the hard drive out and put it my SSD that resided in my MB until a few days ago (with everything still intact on the drive). Booted up and wifi is working fine. The only difference is that the SSD is running 10.8. I was thinking of updating it to 10.8.1 to see if that kills the wifi but I did the update on the other drive yesterday and had no problems with it after a reboot. The problem started today after the skype and iLife install and reboot. In other words the MB ran 10.8.1 fine for 24 hrs and I find it strange that iLife or Skype would cause this issue but that is when the problem started, so I'm stumped.
Is there a way to force wifi to turn on in terminal? Or any other suggestions? Anyway to go back to 10.8 or do I have to re-install everything from scratch?
Thanks, Mark

Ipad 2 wifi password incorrect

hi my ipad 2 sees wifi ok but will not connect as it says the password is incorrect even though it is 100% correct?
