Why won't network require password to turn off/on?

After updating my os to 10.8, I cannot lock network.

Update.
The only way I can get the wifi connection to ask for a password (when turning on and off)  is by making a non-admin account and of course logging into it.  I am required to use admin credentials to turn wifi on or off.  However the logic seems off for this not to work as an admin if the admin requires these credntial to turn wifi on and off, and as an admin it has worked before.   LOL nevermind.  I jsut tried again... and no password required.  Brand new user.  Only keychain access is for the airport base station itself..  OK EDit again... just tried to disconnect and it asked for a password.  I wonder how long an admin password is good for... AND EDIT AGAIN.  Turned it off and on with no password again. ..... I guess the wifi service asks for a password when it feels like it. LOL

  • Why won't my bright Apple logo turn off?

    All recovered on its own now, but I want to know what to do if it happens again.
    Had just completed online application for $100 credit and was receiving the text message with the code when my iPhone froze. All attempts to reset failed. The Apple logo, with a back light, refused to go away. Tech support tried solutions, but all failed.
    Made an appointment with neighborhood Genius Bar. Kept it in charger all night per tech support's suggestion. When I unplugged it in the morning, the first sign of life was a low battery alert. Plugged it in again, started to charge, and all came back.
    But, I was iPhoneless for 12 hours, and what would have happened if there was an emergency?
    Has anyone encountered the same freeze: a bright Apple logo that refuses to go away?
    Thanks!

    A runaway process is preventing sleep and delaying shutdown. Need to use Activity Monitor to identify the miscreant.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1473

  • HT1222 Why won't my apple password word on iOS update

    Why won' t my apple password work to sign in iOS update

    The passcode you need to enter is not your Apple password. It is the four digit passcode you enter when turning on your iPad or waking it from sleep after an AutoLock. If you forgot your passcode you'll have to restore the iPad in iTunes.

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.

  • Why won't my ipone charge or turn on?

    why won't my ipone charge or turn on?
    <Edited By Host>

    Lets see, could be:
    faulty charger
    faulty cable
    faulty connector
    faulty battery or other iPhone hardware
    Without any details at all, it is impossible for anyone to say.  You could take it in and let an Apple Genius take a look at it to narrow it down to iPhone hardware or battery.

  • Is there anyway to require the password before turn off iPad?

    You normally ask for password when you turn ON and not OFF.

    my mac and iPhone 6  has been hacked! foresure! Antivirus sentinel pro from apple store detected apr or arp spoofing, thereafter Antivirus protection also got hacked, I turn network monitoring on they turn off everytime then they close Antivirus for good, also Google.com is being imitated and not showing a true certificate (apr spoofing)?.these guys r good! I erased and reinstall Yosemite changed all passwords even on the wifi...could be wifi sniffing? I got Kaspersky hoping to use virtual keyboard for passwords and Kaspersky is comprised too..the virtual keyboard doesn't work it freezes up not allowing me to enter password. So I Uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky, so now I have problem with reinstall that doesn't work, then way later that day it is reinstalled..not over yet..that virtual keyboard now pops up randomly wanting me to use password? seems like they can copy anything real fast for i have to enter info like 2 or 3 times, never had that problem before. I'm thinking about going old school with paper docs and checks..yes technology ***...too vulnerable. .on the news they said 97% of businesses are hacked! can someone help me to counter this attack? thx

    You have not been hacked. Get rid of all that antivirus. It is just making your life harder.

  • How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone

    how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • Cracked screen on ipod touch can't get in to it. did a back up with it and tried to put it on new ipod touch 5 and now it keeps talking and won't let me in or turn off.  how can i restore to nothing

    Cracked ipod touch screen and it won't let me in or turn off.  Tried to back it up and put on new ipod touch 5 and now it's not working and doing the same thing. I tried to restore to orginal  but it won't let me any suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    When the above says to restore via iTunes, restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.
