Why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

Do #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time?

How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time? Also, I have my mail account set up from my Yahoo! account and every time I open mail, it asks for the password for my Yahoo! account. I have checked save this password to keychain and it persists on popping up repeatedly.

You don't want to disable keychain (if there's even a good way to do so), since it stores stuff like certificates and the such. It's quite useful.
Anyways, Keychains>Preferences>First Aid. Check Set Login Keychain as default. When you login, it unlocks the keychain.
That should help you.

I have to write the apple-id password every time i download something

I have to write the apple-id password every time i download something from the applestore, even if it's just a few seconds between two downloads. Can i stop this or do i have to live with it? How?

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if the Restrictions on requiring PW everytime is set.

Why do I have to keep entering my icloud password when I use air drop?

Every time I turn on air drop it makes me put my icloud password in. My wife doesn't have to do that. I'm pretty sure it's just a setting, but I can't figure it out. Air drop is supposed to save time, but having to type in a password every time takes more time...

Have to re-enter My Yahoo password every launch

I have two Macs and I try to keep them identical and synced. On one, each time I log in or restart, I can get to Safari and myyahoo front page just fine. On the other I get the main page and have to enter my name and password every time. And then I get the Keychain dialogue and have to type my password into that. This is even if I quit Safari and then reopen it.
Does anyone know what the difference might be? I'd like to have it all happen automatically as in the first example. Is this a keychain issue? The "Lock" at the upper left is open on both of them and from what little I know, the settings appear the same.
Help would be dearly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Eddie!
That password is stored as a cookie I believe so Keychain shouldn't be involved with it? If it's ok with you try to reset Safari and then when you go to Yahoo it will not recognize you. Sign into Yahoo and choose to remember your password. Then go to My Yahoo and you should be recognized. It's pretty basic but hopefully it would do the trick. I'm not sure how much you can control the way Yahoo stores cookies on your system...unless it's your cookies settings? Can you check you cookies settings as well and report back?

Why do i have to enter my icloud password every time i watch a video

Everytime i watch video on youtube i am asked to enter my itunes password. This has been gonig on since i had a failed download on the itunes store. I have since then downloaded content from itunes with no problems

I have the same problem. It started when I upgraded to iOS 7.1 on my iPad. I have powered off the iPad and restarted, but the message pops up every day since I upgraded.

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.

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

Why do i have to log on to my network every time i start to use my macbook pro.

I just started using a time capsule and every thing is working fine on my pc that is hooked to the network but every time I open my macbook pro I have to choose my network to join it. Any suggestions?
Also can the time capsule be used as a storage device for my pc and if so how do I set it up?
Thanks for any info.

I just started using a time capsule and every thing is working fine on my pc that is hooked to the network but every time I open my macbook pro I have to choose my network to join it. Any suggestions?
Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
Also can the time capsule be used as a storage device for my pc and if so how do I set it up?
Yes, the Time Capsule's (TC) internal HDD can be shared out to PCs. This is because in addition to the HFS+ protocol, the TC's File Sharing server uses SMB to allow PCs or Linux clients to access it. In addition to enabling the "Enable file sharing" option, you may need to enter a workgroup name in the Workgroup field. Both of these can be found on the File Sharing tab under Disks within the AirPort Utility.

B110 printer - do I have to re-enter the wireless password every time I turn it off?

Hi, I've just bought an HP B110 wireless printer, and set it up wirelessly on my Airport network no problem, but when I turn it off (by the power button on it) and on again it starts up as though it's brand new, loading, then asking for my wireless password (which isn't the quickest thing to type in!) and then telling me to install the software on my computer. Is there a way I can make it save the login (like any other gadget you can buy does!) because I don't like leaving things running constantly when I'm not going to use it!?

I also just set up an HP B110a. I have the same problem. I cannot believe it. It seems that every time you switch the printer on you have to enter you wireless network password and then you get instructed to put the printer CD in the computer and reinstall the printer driver. Of course you don't ACTUALLY have to reinstall the drivers every time, but you DO, it seems, have to fiddle around with the simulated keyboard pressing buttons dozens of times to enter even a relatively simple password.
Thus it appears in effect you HAVE TO leave your printer permanently switched on, which of course we do not want to do. Please tell me it's not true. Is there a trick we're missing?

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
The fun will come when trying to keep them synchronized with each other. Maybe one of these commercial utilities:

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.

Why do i have to pair my bluetooth head phones every time I want to use them?

Every time I want to use my Philips Bluetooth head phones, I have to unpair them and then pair them again. They say connected in blue tooth settings, but no audio is coming through. Worked flawlessly with my RAZR Maxx. This is something I use a lot, and may make this phone a return.

Yikes, I know how important it is to have the bluetooth working with out any issues, jwennrn. Are you still trying to use the bluetooth with the Droid Razr Maxx or with a different phone? Was there any new updates or applications that were downloaded when you noticed this problem started? Please keep us posted. I'm eager to work with you to get this working again.
