Why does my laptop no longer connect to our WPA2 shared network drive?

Our Airport Express is set up to give us access to the internet plus access to a shared network drive via a WPA2 key. Suddenly, I can no longer access the shared network drive, even though my wireless internet access is fine, and the Airport Utility is "recognizing" my computer. I am the only PC user in a house of unsympathetic Mac users who are not having any similar problems! Can anyone tell me what I should do to fix this?
Thanks very much.

I don't remember where I found this, but it did work for me.

  • Why does my apple no longer connect wirelessly at home - it is about 3-4 years old.

    why does apple not connect wirelessly anymore.
    mothers mac book pro does - as do other HP and Dell laptops we have - also iphones etc
    says 'connection timeout after wheel spins for 2 seconds only
    very frustrating
    worked ok in apple store today connecting wirelessly to their computer
    is problem with m y Mac or the router - as i said - router works with other laptops perfectly

    Turn Off the router & then turn back On. Then you'll probably connect.

  • Why does it take so long to start recording from my external drive?

    I know the question its a bit long, I just wanna know why does it happen, or better what can I do so it stop happening...
    I mean when Im recording using the drive from my macbook, it would not delay to start recording, but when Im working with the external drive and put it to record it takes like 40 seconds before its starts recording...
    Im still learning so, please someone reply this concern ...
    thanks

    +Im working with the external drive+
    Are you 100% sure that your external drive is formatted to Mac OSX Extended, with journaling off? (NOT FAT32 or NTFS) Select the disk and press command-I to find out.
    If not, _back up all the data on the drive_, and reformat it using your Disk Utility (Utilities folder).

  • Why does the new touch lose connectivity to my wi-fi network

    So I got the new Ipod touch and when I got it home and connected it to my home wi-fi network with no trouble. Then a few hours later it was connected to the network but it would seemed as though it was not. Kinda like the network didnt have a internet connection. So I reset the cable modem, the wi-fi router and the Ipod. That fixed the problem until a few hours later and it has become a constant problem. Anytime I want to use any online app (Siri, weather, email, message, facetime, itunes, app store) Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

    It is the router asking permission to access keychain.
    Apple80211A is one of the many Agents.

    Good Afternoon Geraldine,
    I understand you are wondering why you did not receive an email receipt instantly for an iBook purchase made on March 2nd.  Is this the first time you've noticed a delay?  I would suggest contacting the iTunes Support team to report the issue.  With your permission, they can access your account and possibly shed some light on this particular transaction.
    See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support

  • Why does it take so long to download software like Adobe to a Mac laptop

    I just recently bought a MacBook Pro and I am installing Adobe Reader and it is taking sooooo long to install.  I have been installing since 8:30 pm and its now 10:27 and its only up to 42%.  Why does it taking so long?  Also I have downloading other software and it took forever as well.  Why does it take son long to download software to the Mac?

    Something is obviously wrong.
    Stop the download and take the machine back to Apple as you have 90 days free support.
    They will test the machine to see if it's a hardware issue or a problem with the Mac itself.
    If they say it's fine and it surfs/downloads fast on their connections, then it's likely something wrong with your home network or router.
    Did you by any chance change your DNS settings in Network?
    This could be the problem, delete what you entered and reboot the machine, the ISP's default DNS settings will return.
    To OpenDNS? On the router? Are you using your own router of it someone managing it for you?
    Are you over 21 and can you legally surf for adult sites? If some sort of filtering is on, this could be the cause.
    OpenDNS doesn't have servers everywhere, so it causes certain downloads from Akamai servers to come from a lot farther away than your ISP servers.
    Have you run Internet speed tests? Using other machines on your network are they fast?
    Is your router or modem old? Did you power them off, wait 30 seconds and power them back on?
    It's rather a lot to try to figure out network issues, you may have to call in a local professional.

  • Why does my iPhone no longer give me the option to connect to my tv via Apple TV when on Safari as it previously did following my latest software upgrade?

    Why does my iPhone no longer give me the option to connect to my tv via Apple TV when on Safari as it previously did following my latest software upgrade?

    Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
    Same phone, same tv, same broadband network so everything the same so I assumed that it would.....just work!!! :-)
    I'm away this weekend but I'm going to turn off and reload the Apple TV to see if that might work.
    If not I may be begging your assistance again next week!!!
    Have a great weekend.

  • Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?

    Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?  I have to go to each item individually to select it as it no longer goes from one item to the next.

    what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

  • On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
    Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
    In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
    Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
    In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
    You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
    Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
    If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

  • Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly? I used to search for a name and it would find it in All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

    Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
    I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,

  • Why does syncing take so long? 2GB is taking 215 hours

    Why does syncing take so long? 2GB is taking 215 hours

    Thats a fair enough comment, but I would have thought that syncing a mere 2GB of data, 215 hours seems a bit ridiculous, especially as it's not explained very well on the Adobe Cloud exactly what syncing is and how it benefits me. My internet connection is BT broadband and my download speed is 10 Mb/s, upload is 0.261 Mb/s crap I know.

  • Why does it take so long to upload pictures from iphote to AppleTV

    Why does it take so long to upload pictures from iphoto to AppleTV?   It takes hours to see a folder created in iPhoto to finally display on AppleTV.

    Do you mean that you are importing music from an audio CD into iTunes?  If so, the most likely causes of slow speeds are limitations of the CD drive you are using and/or the CD being dirty or damaged. If you turn on error correction within iTunes this can slow down the import process if it is repeatedly re-reading the same data before it gets a repeatable result (though it is a good idea to always have error connection enabled as the alternative is audible errors in the results).  Depending on which system I'm using typical CD reading speeds vary between 5x and 12x (so a nominal 74 min CD imports in 6-15 min).
    Importing a CD has nothing to do with your internet connection (which is only used to look up the song titles, etc. before you start importing).
    However, if you are downloading music from the iTunes store or another internet retailer such as Amazon, I'd expect an album's worth of m4a/mp3 files to download in 1-2 minutes on a typical broadband connection.  If this is what you're doing, and its taking an hour to complete, then there's a problem with the broadband connection itself or with how your PC is set up to use it.

  • Why does it take so long to load a web page on my iPad

    Why does it take so long to load a web page on my new ipad wifi

    This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

  • Why does it take so long to import a CD onto iTunes?

    Whenever I try to import CDs onto iTunes, I literally have to let it import overnight before an album is finished. I thought it might be a hardware problem, so I got an external disk drive for my laptop. It didn't make any difference. Why does iTunes take so long, and is there any way to import/rip CDs faster?

    sorrry i dont buy that whole firewall issue. it just doesn't make sense. no disrespect. please I have an issue where I downloaded a cd. Published it and all of the songs except for the one that i had unchecked and another one all synced to Itunes. why did that one song (Al Green "For the Good Times" not be accepted yet it is on the interface of Itunes but by itself and the only way I can play it is if I click on the file on the right that says "untitled playlist". go figure. not to dog out your issue if someone could help me out with this problem it would be helpful. thanks mike.
