Wep password not recognised

My Airport WEP password is not being recognised when I want to login to my home netgear base from my Macbook pro, but the same password is being recognised when another Mac is used. It used to work but they did something with the configuration at work and now I just can't connect.

Most buisnesses don't use WEP anymore due to the risks. I suspect your IT guys changed your Mac to WPA. You need to check this in the Airport settings in System Preferences....

LarryHN I not understand your advice

I tried adding new account and the only options (Apple related) offered are MobileMe and Email going
EMail>

using iCloud doesn't work i.e. the account sets up but still cannot send email through iPhoto
I am registered with iCloud and it works fine in other applications
I am reluctant to delete MobileMe from iPhoto since if I do so I will not be able to add it again I still have photos etc in my MobileMe iDisk which I will need to move somewhere else soon with demise of MobileMe
Thakns for your advice

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password. My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it.

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Just purchase ipad3 trying to play from favorites in you tube but can't set up a play list, username /password not recognised, tried some apps like SoundBox but same issues, can anybody help?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

I updated from Snow Leorard to Moutain Lion and now my internet will not recognise my password. All other comps use the network but my Mac upgraded Mac Mini keeps coming up with either 'timeout' or 'user or password not recognised' ...help!

Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

Wifi WEP password not working on Windows side, works fine on Mac side

I have not been able to get connected to my wireless connection with windows xp however I have no problem on the mac side. The problem is that my password is 12 characters (not 13). This WEP password works fine on the mac side and also works fine on my iphone. It also works on an older Dell laptop, so it just doesn't make sense. If my password is supposed to be 13 characters (as windows tells me) how come I can connect to everything else?

Hmmmm, interesting! Well, ASCII or HEXADECIMAL, both were designed pretty much for the same purpose, to allow a computer to understand what the heck it is we want them to do (since computers only understand binary - 0100101110011 .. etc).
That character limitation I would guess is probably a limitation of the router, I have no idea, but it seems like that would severely limit security and if it were me I would get another router (but that's just me ). Xnav might have a point, but to this day, OS X has never done that to me. It wouldn't hurt to give his suggestion a try though. Hope you get it worked out soon. I'm sure it's frustrating.

Apple ID password not recognised

Cannot download apps or update iPhone 5 as constantly says applied password invalid. Can sign onto Apple with this password on laptop but not on phone. Why is this? It's driving me insane!!! Have tried resetting password multiple times but still the phone does not recognise the password. Any ideas?

I've updated an iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1.2 and cannot successfully use the App Store App to download even a free app. Because the phone is out of warranty, Apple support will not help.
I click on the App Store Icon, I search for a free app, hit the "Get" button, it thinks for a few seconds, and then asks me for my AppleID password.
I supply that (and I know its correct, because if I enter a honky one, that is immediately diagnosed), it thinks for a few seconds, then returns me to the screen with the "Get" button again. Hitting the button just restarts the password inquiry over again with the same result. No error indication occurs at all.
I don't see how it could be a problem with my internet connection(s). I've tried it with or without wireless router, used Cell data only, taken the phone to a different wireless network, etc... Could App Store app even ask for my password if there was a problem with my connection?
I've tried reanswering my AppleID security questions, updating my credit card information, and changing my password. No help. It doesn't appear to be an AppleID issue. I've searched the internet, Apple's support forums, carried out Apple's tedious procedures for checking the connections, read the docs, etc...
Has anyone seen anything like this? Any suggestions?

Username and Password not recognised

Hi there, wondered if anyone could help with my latest problem.
My BT Broadband is up and running as is my BT Vision (including on Demand, but NOT Sky Sports)
I received a letter with all of my info showing a user name and password
The username was my email address (@btinternet.com) and the password was letters and number uppercase and lowercase.
BT Fon, My BT and setting my Emails up do not recognise my email address OR/AND my password.
Are there any reason the email address and password could be incorrect at BT's end or do have to wait for another set period of time to activate! Cant send a password reminder either because the email is not recognised so stuck in a circle on this one.
Thanks in advance
Ric

Hi Ric .
Have you just been activated, if so it can take a day or so for MY BT and email to recognise the email address and password.
it could also take a couple of days for fon to work.

WEP password not accepted. Two separate Airport based offices.

I have an Airport network setup in two different locations/offices (Leeds and London).
It was all working fine and the WEP password worked and the iBooks and Mac Books all logged in automatically once setup. This worked fine for months from installation.
Now, for no apparent reason and no changes on the AirPort, the WEP password is not being accepted and the laptops cannot connect any more.
Has a software update done this? I can't think so as 3 of the laptops have not been updated for the last 3-4 months and the Airports started acting like mthis two weeks ago.

Hi,
The Airport base Stations have not been updated since purchase. One is about 7 months old, the other about 2.5 months old.
Does this mean you think that the previous software / formware was faulty and this discconnection or loss of WEP password is simply a fault and a SW UpDate will fix it?
I've not tried your suggeestion of no encryption or WPA yet as I will not visit the sites again for 3-4 weeks, but surely any setting available should be stable?
Thank you.

Then maybe you should ask your e-mail provider what's wrong.
