Update 10.5.8 Wireless will not remember WPA2 Network Name and Password

After updating to 10.5.8 last night my wireless will not remember the WPA2 Personal - Network Name and Password between boots. I have to re-enter it each time I restart my MacBook (Intel Core 2 duo). I am running WiFi 802.11A and never had this problem in the two years I have owned this mac. [Going a different 802.11 frequency is not a fix].
Anyone else having this type of problem?
Comment: These OS X updates are annoying because seems that some standard common feature stops working for awhile (until the next fix).

I was having the exact same problem after the update too, and I tried everything that all of these posts recommended and nothing.
It wasn't until I deselected the option on the network preferences for "Ask to join networks", it mentions that it will connect to known networks, so as long as its saved it should remember it.
And Voila! next time I opened my macbook from sleep it connected to the WPA (which even happened to be a hidden one too).
I hope this helped because sometimes it doesn't have to be so complicated...

  • Firefox will not remember multiple user names and passwords for same site, yet it used to do so. Any ideas?

    I belong to several publishers website, and I often have to access more than one author's account, which requires that I use their user name (usually an email address) and their password. In the past, whenever I double clicked on the space for user name, I would see all of those user names appear that I use for that site. When I clicked on the one I wanted, the stored password would appear in the password window, and I could log in. Now, it only shows me the most recent user name that I have used. I don't understand how to make it do what it used to do. Any ideas?

    Is it possible that that name is stored in a "remember me" cookie ?

  • How come firefox does not remember my user name and password for the verizon wireless website ? or verizon wireless ?

    how come when i log onto the verizon wireless web site to pay my bill, i have to sign my user name and password every time ? i am not getting the firefox pop up asking me if i want firefox to save my password for this site. so how do i get firefox to remember my log in information for my verizon wireless website ? thank you.

    This would be verizonwireless.com, correct? Their site requests that browsers should not save information for its login form.
    If you're comfortable with using bookmarklets, there's one here that should force Firefox to remember:

  • Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

    I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

    You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
    * https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
    You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
    If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

  • Locked PDF files will not open with user name and password. Help?

    I go to school online and our eBooks are in pdf format. I download them to my MacBook so that I can read them offline. When I download them, they open as they always did but, when I put my username and password in to unlock them, it tells me something about the file is edited and a copy will be saved but, it never opens the file. I have adobe reader on it, I am getting frustrated! I don't want to be logged into class every time I am studying material. Any ideas? Thanks in advance - this is my first Mac so, bare with me

    Not using netwok magic. I shut it down when it comes up.  I have tried using 192.168.1.1 but still will not accept user name and password.  I never changed the factory default and it just continues to ask for the user name and password.  Web utility site will not come up.  I have a wired desktop as my main computer and that is the computer I have been trying to access the utility from.

    Hello nkrlw,
    It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
    Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
    Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
    On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
    On iPhone and iPod touch, tap  in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

  • A login webpage gives the message "This script requires that jquery.js be loaded first." then will not show the user ID and password login boxes. How can this be corrected?

    That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.

  • I cloud will not accept my apple id and password. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

    I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

    IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
    backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
    then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
    once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

  • Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac.

    Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac.  How can I reset it.  A friend needs this computer and  I need to update and remove software, etc.

    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Reset Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Reset Password.
