TS1317 I can't connect to my network, but can to an open network in the community. I think it's the password, I've forgotten it. How do I set a new password?
My ISP has just installed a new modem with an ethernet connection, which I have plugged into my Airport Express. I'm able to connect to an open network in the neighborhood but not to my own network that I had set up before. I have done some troubleshooting, the modem is working when connected to my computer. It may just be the password, it's not accepting the password that I thought I had used to set up the Airport Express when I first bought it. Should I be using the same password as in my Accounts on my Mac's System Preferences?
... Would the network password be the same as my Mac's password?
It can be if you configured it that way, but since that is apparently not working for you it's probably not the same. You can reconfigure the Express easily enough using AirPort Utility - it is in your Utilities folder, which is found within your Applications folder.
Launch AirPort utility, then reset the Express:
To reset your Express:
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil for 1 full second. The light (LED) will flash amber, indicating that the AirPort Express is in soft reset mode.
This will enable you to use AirPort Utility to reset your network password.
Note: If you do not make your changes within five minutes of pressing the reset button, AirPort Express will return to its previous configuration. The light will change back to solid green (or whatever state it was in before the reset).

How do I set a new Password?
Do you mean a new passcode on your iPad? If it is disabled you will have to restore it via recovery mode using the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 or with iOS 7.0.4 you can also use the guidance of lllaass in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634135

Can't connect to app store but can connect to iTunes store.
I want to upgrade to Mavericks but I cannot connect to the App Store. When I try to sign in, it immediately reads: connection failed. However, I can sign in to the iTunes Store. I've scoured these forums but nothing I've read has helped. Can anyone help me?
There isn't anything about Firewall under Sharing.
I turned Firewall off under Security and restarted. Still no connection to App Store.
Turned Firewall back on and added App Store under Advanced to allow incoming connections.
Still no dice.
Could I uninstall App Store and redownload it? Can't find it to download though. -
Just got a new Airport Express to replace an old one that dropped off all the time. The new one works with various Apple and Android devices but will not connect to Wen 8 computer. The computer sees the network but can't connect.
Hello lucky3480;
I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of possibly returning the unit and purchasing a wireless internet card to install in the tower. Any help you can provide would be great. Even suggesting a good wireless card at this point
Well it looks like you're not having any luck at all with this AX set up but please don't give on it just yet, it's a good choice for extending your Network. Your on the right path, just going backwards and in the wrong direction. You'll learn a lot about stuff this way but may lead to other issues.
Before I continue, let me know if you have returned the AX or still need help. Here's a link to Apple's PDF about [Designing AirPort Networks|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] Click on it to open in Safari but then save it to your desktop. Now open it from your desktop and start reading Chapter 3, page 42.

Can't connect to wireless via Airport - Other's on my network can though :/
I woke up this morning to no internet on my mac. I usually use Airport, and it usually automatically connects, but today it made me type in my WEP key again, so I did, and still no internet. I have FiO's so I went on Verizon's chat service and they said it wasn't the Router because my xbox, other pc's, etc - were connected via wireless network, so it had to be my mac. Everytime I try to connect, it picks up the wirless network, I type in my WEP key and the Airport icon get's 5 bars, but then when I open up my browser, an exclamation comes up over the sign and it says "No internet connection". Just a little side note, it said that the airport doesn't have an IP address, and sometimes it say's it does, but because it was automatically assigned, it can't connect. Also, the DNS tab, under System Preferences > Network > Advanced, shows no ip's it's just all blank. I have a 2007 Macbook. I called up Apple and before I could even tell them my name, they told me I was un-eligible for help and hung up on me, great people they are. If I could, I would take this mac back and get my $1150 I paid for it, back. So now this is my last resort. Please post if you have any idea how to fix this. By the way: I am on an ethernet cable, so the internet and wireless obviously works. It has to be my mac, right?
I was having the same problem with the wifi not connecting to our home network on only one of our Macbooks. It kept giving itself a self assigned ip address. Everything else would connect fine to the home network and the computer with the problem connected fine to every other network aside from our home wifi. After reading this thread and trying everything on it, this is what finally fixed it: I didn't have anything under the 802.1x tab either. So I:
Turned the Airport off and completely deleted the Airport in network preferences.
Then I went to keychain access and deleted EVERY wifi network password saved under both Login and System.
I turned the computer off and removed the battery and did the SMC reset by holding down the power button for 5 seconds.
When I restarted the computer, I reset the PRAM by holding down OPTION, COMMAND, P, and R at the same time RIGHT AFTER I pushed the power button to turn it on and before the grey screen appeared.
It reset and when the computer was back on, I added the airport again and joined my home WEP wfi network. It worked perfectly! Now I don't know if all of these steps are required to fix the problem but this is what worked for me. The Macbook with the problem was a black Macbook running 10.6.8. Good luck! -
How do I create a new password for my Airport Extreme if I do not know the old password?
If you have the Mac that you used to configure the AirPort Extreme originally, you may be able to retrieve the password from KeyChain Access.
See this User Tip from forum expert Tesserax:
AirPort - Regain Access from Forgotten Passwords
If still no luck, you can reset the passwords again. Pay very close attention to the information about a Soft Reset in this Apple support document:

I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.
Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.
All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod. -

ATV joins network but can't negotiate internet connection?
Hi, I've just upgraded to 10.6 and also switched my airport network to 'n' only. All worked a dream except for my ATV. It connects to the wireless network but can't obtain a router address or dns address so has no internet connection?? The ATV has been working beautifully over a B/G network for months so I don't know if it's the move to n or the move to 10.6 or both.
Any advice available on this? I can't seem to find the issue discussed on the forum already.Try restarting the DHCP server.
Now that you've updated to SL have you tried putting your network settings back to your b/g setting to try to isolate the problem.
You didn't turn off bridging when you set your router to n only did you.
Is your router set to n only or b/g/n or g/n -

I signed up yesterday with synch. I don't know my password and I need it to reset a new password. Please advise how to set a new password when I dont know old 1
I set it up on my "upstairs computer" and then came to my "downstairs computer" to synch and I can not get into the account because of the above password problem. I write down my passwords. I must have mistyped it or mis written.
I want to change my passwordThe new Sync version uses the Firefox account and stores the login data (username/email and password) under the https://accounts.firefox.com site heading in the Password Manager and use the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder to store the credentials once connected to the account to avoid having to enter the master password on each start.
