Why do I have to re-enter my network settings daily?

My network diagnostics remember my name, password, etc., but for some reason it won't connect to the internet the first time I try each day. I have to click on "Network Settings" and manually go through to change all the red dots to green. Like I said, I don't have to update, change, or manually enter anything; just click through the boxes. If it saves all my info, why can't I simply launch Safari from the beginning?

  • Why do I have to reconnect to my Network manually every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password.

    Why do I have to reconnect to my network every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password. It has been happening ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion. I have two default wireless routers I connect to (my home and work) and yet everytime I turn on my computer I have to manually select which network I want to join from the drop down menu at the top of my desktop. Any suggestions? I dont want to have to manually choose, it should just look for those two networks automatically and connnect to whichever one is available.

    It was already set to Automatic......and still it doesnt connect to my network.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why do I have to keep entering in a filename for my exported movies.

    I have 1000s of video projects in Premiere Elements.  When I export them, I have to constantly enter in a filename.  Why doesn't the program default to name of my .prel file instead of Untitled every time.   For example, I have video1-1.prel.  You think the program would default the filename to video1-1 instead of untitled when I export the video.  It gets kind of annoying having to type in the filename every time I export a video.

    chris vokman
    I could ask what version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system it is running on, but my answer would be
    the same whatever the version.
    It just is not the case that the export file name is automatically the name of the project. And, at the user level, I know of no way to change the
    "untitled" default to anything else". At least it will offer untitled-1 etc.

  • Why do I have to keep entering my username and passord every time I log in??

    Every time I log into my e mail I have to re enter my user name and password. There has to be a setting to prevent this. It onlu happens on this computer!!

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. 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.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reset the System Management Controller.
    9. Reset the PRAM.
    10. Reinstall OS X.

  • 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 keep entering my Apple ID password?

    Even when I enter an App i have to keep entering my Apple ID password.... This is very annoying so could someone help? Also, I have the iPhone 4S and version 5.1.1 so could someone please help.

    once upgraded to iOS 6, it should stop prompting for every update. as far as downloads, if there is more than an hour or two between when you make purchases, it will prompt for a password. i have not found a way around this, but at least they stopped prompting for every update!

  • Why do I have to keep entering my password to check my email?ios7 ipad

    Ever since ios7 was released I have to enter my email password every time I go into the mail app on my ipad. I have multiple emails so I have to enter all of them every time. On my iPhone 5, the mail app doesn't give me a problem but the voice mail keeps making me enter my apple password.
    It's getting very old and I've started going to my desktop PC to check email because it's so annoying.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Why do I have to physically enter a folder through Bridge, before Bridge will read keyword metadata

    I am a DAM specialist, and trying to figure out a temporary workflow for our designers. I'm currently using photo mechanic 5 to enter batches of metadata to files, then seeing if the keyworded terms are easily findable via Bridge. It's SUPER frustrating, that the user has to PHYSICALLY go into each sub folder in Bridge before the keyword data will populate search items when searching a larger folder. This sort of defeats the purpose of searching a directory doesn't it? It seems as though I could not rely on Bridge to be a good way for a group of designers to search large directories of files I've taken the time to label. Am I wrong?

    this is the main barrier for using it more. The data is not read in real time.
    I agree on your slow statement in general although using a fast system with SSD speeds things up. However you have  a wrong idea on the indexing and caching part.
    Bridge is working at its best in a single user environment and assuming your designer have a user account on their system this is where Bridge stores its cache. Normally you need to cache the files only once (sometimes when in trouble you need to purge or dump the cache), the newest files also need to be cached but this is automatically done when pointing to the folder. Indexing also is needed once per file and yes, on slow systems with large files this can take a while. 
    An other option is to let the users point to to the main folder and select menu view, view items from subfolders and ideally let it run overnight to cache the lot once totally, after this things will go faster.
    But as said, Bridge is not the ideal DAM application...
