Why do i have to keep typing in the password to my wifi network every time i get home

on my phone i have to connect to the wifi network everytime i get home

Try resetting your router, unplug it wait for 1 - 2 minutes and plug it back in.  Wait a few minutes for it to connect to your provider and download the latest IP addresses etc.
Go into your phone's wifi settings and forget your wifi network.  Reconnect to it so that you get the latest IP addresses in your phone.  Go into the settings on your phone for your network (Tap the blue arrow to open it up) Set the proxy setting to Automatic not off or manual. 
Apple has done something wonky to wifi in iOS 6.0 and 6.0.1.  Hopefully they will have it fixed in 6.1 when it comes out soon.
I had a similar problem and this process worked for me.  Now when I walk into my house my iPhone and iPad both connect to my home wifi network with no problems.
Hope it works for you.

    Waht version of the Mac OS are you running, and what program do you use to check e-mail?

  • I have changed default language in the program & have set Language & region in system preferences. My Word (Mac2011) keeps on changing the default language to US english every time I check. Please help!

    I have changed default language in the program & have set Language & region in system preferences. My Word (Mac2011) keeps on changing the default language to US english every time I check. Please help!

    If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • My G4 desktop won't  cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why?

    My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why? Otherwise, the desktop runs fine.
    The battery is new, and I zapped the little button on the main board once. I've noticed that the power supply plug is a little longer than the usual one for G4, and the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.

    Hi Ursula,
    the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.
    I believe that is for ADC Monitor power if you had one, or a card with ADC, like the little tab on this one...
    I think your startup problem is bad capacitors in the power supply or on the logic board, and the need to bleed off their charge before they work right to start.

  • Why am I asked to join a WiFi network every time i open my computer?

    Why I am asked to join a WiFi network every time I open my computer?

    Make sure your Mac is up to date with all Apple Software Updates.
    Then:
    Go to System Preferences > Network. Select Wi-Fi or AirPort from the left column. Click the Advanced... button.
    Under the Preferred Networks list, select every Wi-Fi network that appears, including the one you want to use, and delete every one using the "–" (minus) button. Select the box "Remember networks this computer has joined" if it is not already selected.
    OK then Apply.
    Select your wireless network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu, provide your wireless network password, and determine if that solves its connection problems.
    If the above does not resolve the problem, follow the steps in these Apple Support documents:

  • Why do I have to keep providing my iCloud password over and over

    Every time, I go into a new app, like leaving mail to follow and imbedded link URL, I get prompted again for my iCloud password. It doesn't matter whether or not I provide the password, it just keeps on trucking. But the nuisance is still there!

    Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll (or Save Image if you have iOS 8), then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account), choose Delete from My iDevice and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud).  Then sign back in (your data will download back to your device).  That should stop the ongoing prompts for your password.

  • Why do I have to keep entering my itunes password on my ipad?

    Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to have my iTunes password stored so I don't have to keep entering it after I enter my passcode to begin doing anything?  To clarify, I have a passcode set up to begin after 15 minutes of inactivity.  Once that happens, when I reopen my iPad,  I am requested to enter my iTunes password as well.  This wasn't an issue before the last upgrade.  I have tried to find the answer on my own but I'm not having any luck.  
    Thanks for any suggestions on how to eliminate this minor hassle or let me know if I have to live with it.

  • Why do I have to turn off and on my HP office jet 7500A every time I want to print a page?  I can print one and imediatly try to print a second and it says it cant be found on the network.

    Since going up to Lion I am having problems with my HP Officejet 7500A printer.  It is on the network wirrelessly.  After every page I have to turn the printer off and back on again because my mac cant find the printer on the network.  The windows mechines here can still find it, but not my Mac Pro.  What is going on?
    Obviously I have it set up right because I can print to it.  problem is my mac thinks it goes off line every time I tell it to print another document. 
    Anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks!

    Lion may have replaced files that partially made up your printer drivers. Either way, HP saw fit to make a new set of drivers specifically for 10.7 so you may want to use it simply to avoid any bugs tehy found.

  • I can't update any of my apps. I have an old email address that I forgot the password to. I set up a new apple idea (I do know the password to this one), but every time I try to update my apps, it brings me back to my old email.

    I've tried many times to get rid of my old iTunes account. I have made a new Apple ID and I do remember the password. My 2 main problems are, i can't update ANY of my apps (and I have 53 to update now), and I can't get rid of my old old email that I forgot the password to. Every time I try to reset the account and start a new iTunes account, it will ask me for my new email. I've tried multiple times to change it, bbut every time i do, it asks me to put a password when for my old email that I forgot the password to reset the account.

    Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

  • TS1819 Mac OS X 10.7.4. How do I configure my network settings so I don't have to enter the password to my wireless router every time I start up or come back from sleep mode?

    When I first got my MacBook Pro my wireless network at home (Linksys Wireless Router) popped right up and I entered the password and had no problems automatically connected after that. I went to a friends house this weekend who also has a wireless router named Linksys, obviously with a different password. Ever since I connected to her network I have to enter my network password at home everytime I start my computer up or wake it up from sleep mode.
    My questions is what caused this to happen and how do I reconfigure my network settings so that I don't have to re-enter my password all the time?
    Thanks
