Where do I put in the WEP password?

I used another computer to change the WEP password for my wireless network.
My Mac no longer connects. I have searched the menus to find out out how to put in the new WEP but all I find is info about an "Airport" which I am sure I do not have. My wireless modem is a Netopia and it works fine with all PCs except the MAC.

Open Network in *System Preferences*. Choose Airport ,this is your wireless component on the MacBook, Where it says *By default, join:* choose *Preferred Networks*. A window will open in the network page now click the plus sign. A separate window will pop up. Put the *Network Name:* in. Then for *Wireless Security:* choose *WEP Password* then click OK.
I always pick the *Show AirPort status in the menu bar* this gives any easy access point for airport and shows a signal strength indicator when on.

Where can I find the WEP password/number stored on my mac

Where can I find the WEP password/number stored on my mac.?

Assuming you saved it it will be in your Keychain (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access)

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

Network diagnostics is not accepting the WEP password on my wireless router. I know the password is case sensitive and was very careful in entering it but it still gives me the "Unable to join Wi-Fi Network" error message.

I need help setting up the wireless router for my iMac. I did not know the WEP password when I first turned it on to set things up. Now that I know the WEP password I cant get Network Diagnostics to accept it. I know it is case sensitive and was very careful when I entered the password. What should I do?

Hi, unfortunately WEP is about as secure as a bar of gold lent to a Gang Den! It can be broken in under 30 seconds these days!
If the PW is ASCII, try enclosing it in qoute marks, if Hex try preceding it with the & or % sign.
Also, is the Router set to only allow connect ion to MAC addies of the Interface?

TS1368 My child has put in the wrong password on my phone multiple times, my iPhone now says "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes", But when I try to connect to iTunes on my laptop it says unable to connect due to a password is on the phone? What do I do

My child has put in the wrong password on my phone multiple times, my iPhone now say "iPhone has been disabled connect to iTunes" When I hook my phone up to iTunes, iTunes then says that my iPhone can not be hooked up to iTunes because it has a password on it, but will not allow me to put in a password because the disabled message is still showing. What is the next step?

You may need to put the iPhone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the phone and restore/resync your content to it.

I just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.

Here is a solution that worked for me, after nothing else would. Log out and back in to iTunes on your Mac/PC.
I had exactly the same problems as above, and no amount of network changes or even a full restore would help.
Finally, I went back to my PC, launched iTunes, logged OUT of that, then signed in again, this time with the new password.
Then I had to go back, and properly close Facetime and iMessages and sign in. It worked fine after that.
(To properly close an application, double click the home button, then hold down on the facetime app logo in the multitasking bar at the bottom, then press the tiny symbol.)
Best of luck.

Hello,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
You may have multiple entries.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter

When trying to install a wireless printer, the WEP password says its incorrect. Is this a problem with the airport, my Internet provider or HP? I know the password is correct.

Your AirPort Extreme supports WPA.
WEP is outdated and considered fairly useless, so use WPA.
Be sure you are using AirPort Utility 5.6. If you are not running Lion then use AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
AirPort Utility 6.0 cannot administer 802.11b/g base stations.

TS1398 The WEP password to access WiFI from Time Warner is 12 numbers and letters plus 14 zeros. Can I expand the available space in the space for entering passwords

The WEP Password to access wifi from Time Warner cable is 12 numbers and letters followed by 14zeros. The available space to input password is unequal to the task? Time Warner advised to call Apple. Any one with a suggestion on how to either 'customize' WEP or expand available password input space? Better ideaS?

wjosten - I was using a WEP password of greater than 13 characters with no problem.
Mondayblues - Are you saying that you cannot set your own password for your router/modem? You should be able to access it from an ethernet connected computer and change the password to suit yourself. If it's not more than about 4 years old, you should be able to use WPA instead of WEP, which is much more secure. Google "time warner modem yourmodel" to find the user manual and the URL to access the modem.

How do i reset ipod 4th generation when i am putting in the right password

I am putting in the right password on my ipod 4th generation but it keeps saying it is wrong & saying to wait certain amounts of time unitil i can try again.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
