Wifi asks for user name under win 7 ?

I have a unibody MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz, everything is working properly under OS X 10.6. I also have win 7 installed, and everything seems fine there also, except when i try to connect to a wireless network, windows asks me for a user name and a password. I do have the password, but i've never had to insert a user name before. I have no idea what the user name is.
The funny thing is that, a few weeks ago my wifi was working properly under win 7, but since I moved to a new location, i haven't been able to connect to that network anymore. In Snow Leopard same wifi works fine.

You can't differentiate between subdirectories in Firefox, so even if you would edit the URL then it wouldn't work and you might corrupt the file by doing that.

POP3 -Keep asking for user name & Password

Hi,
We have exchange 2003 server with Service pack 2. We have user who check their mails through Outlook 2003, Outlook web access & some users are using POP3 to download the messages.
Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.
Kindly advise.

HI,
This is happening mainly when
1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.
2. if user is using OWA & when we try to configured his mail in Outlool with POP3 .
See if i remove exchange attributes from user's account & then delete the users from AD & Recreated with same user name, Password & reconnected to that user to his old mailbox, it;s work fine.
Regards,
Chetan
POP3 is enabled by default for all the users.

Firefox asks for user name and password even though the proxy auto detection

After upgrading Firefox to ver. 6.01 and next to 6.02 Firefox asks for user name and password of proxy server even though proxy settings are set to Automatic detect proxy settings.

Sorry can't do anything more than offer support. We have been having this problem for months and support is clueless. Do you also have the migrating homepage issue? We can have 3 or 4 different homepage set-ups throughout the day. Between Verizon and FIOS, there isn't an employee in the corporation who cares about customer service. Since the failed email migrations dating back to Spring of 2011, we have had this login situation constantly. Our normal login count for a day is 12. We figure they are regulating traffic by having customers constantly login.

IPad 4 asks for User Name and Password to access home wi-fi network

I have the iPad 4, which occasionally fails to connect to my home network and will ask me for both an User Name and Password to access my home wireless network. I have no idea what would constitute an User Name and I have tried the name of the network and other options to no avail. When I close down the iPad and take it closer to my Wi-Fi Router (BT Home Hub 3) then switch back on it asks for the password only as normal and all is well. What concerns me is this only happens on the occasional basis, but I am trying to access the router from exactly the same place.
Is there a fault with the wireless function on the iPad? I have contacted Apple Support by telephone and they were very helpful to be fair, but they had not come across this issue before.
Has anyone experienced anything like this and could advise me? My other option would be to email Apple Support, but I cannot find an email address for Apple Technical Support UK.

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

CIC0 - asks for user name and password on CRM

Hi folks,
I am a BASIS gui am facing a peculiar problem with our production CRM system. It is a CRM 5.0 system and we have no java stack . The customer service users have reported on a daily basis when they are logged into CRM system and working with CIC0 transaction for several hours, suddenly a pop up comes up stating
"The server <CRM server server name> is requesting that a user name and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection) "
This is happening when a user logged on the CRM system itself. There is no java stack on this system, pure ABAP system. When this popup comes up, the user then puts his/her user name and password and hits ok and is able to continue with work only to be interrupted the next day in the middle of work. So they are able to login , keep doing their for hours and suddenly are asked to revalidate their user name and password.
1. If the user is logged in for several hours and is working fine, what happens suddenly that the user name, password is forgotten and requires to be re-inputted?
2. Is this related to the browser? But the users only work on CIC0 abap system, they do not open a browser , and this is not via portal or a web-ic link...this is all pure abap login via a sapgui.
3. I have copied the same user and am testing to see if the pop up pops up on me...but so far this pop up is not comming up for me....can this be related to user's local desktop windows or browser settingis there any password cache setting ..if so does it mean every time user tries CIC0, a cached password is sent to the server ......I am confounded ...where is the issue, what settings is this related to...
Thanks for any help...
regards, Vikram

Hello Vikram,
Apparently CIC0 makes use of WAS which requires separate authentication. This can possibly explain this issue. Just check if you have maintained the local SSL certificate. Also ensure SSO is also in place. Check STRUSTSSO2 for this.
Regards.

Icloud is asking for user name and password for outlook 2010

My outlook is asking for username and password in outlook 2010 after installing the icloud for pc. it says to use my apple id, but that does not work. Any suggestons?

You can't differentiate between subdirectories in Firefox, so even if you would edit the URL then it wouldn't work and you might corrupt the file by doing that.

I cleared my browsing history now I can't get into my E-mail. When I try I receive a security box asking for user name and pass word. I click on the enter button, nothing happens. IE works. I removed part of Mozilla and reinstalled it. This did not help.

When I start Firefox, a box appears stating (exc in handl: type errow: brw is undefined). Once I click on the O.K. Button, Firefox appears.

HT204053 I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

SharePoint site is asking for user/password

I just created a new web application on port 80 with anonymous access enabled.
Web application is using host header "portal" which is also defined in IIS under "Bindings" (this was done by SharePoint automatically when I created web application). I have also created a site collection under this web application.
In AAM, default zone is defined as http://portal
I have created "A Record" in DNS (this is single server farm for testing) with name "portal" and using same IP which is assigned to this server which is 192.168.137.121.
Problem is when I try to open http://portal in browser, it asks me to enter user/password even though I am logged in as site collection administrator. And no matter how many times I give user/password it keeps asking me to login again and again.
Even if I disable anonymous access, it asks for user/password. I have reset IIS several times.
What am I doing wrong?

The first thing to check is whether you configured the SuperUser and SuperReader accounts for this Web Application correctly. I've seen this kind of behavior if the accounts are not set in PowerShell or if the accounts are set using NTLM names instead
of Claims. Take a look at the following for more information:

Mail account set up: Why no box for user name?

I am trying to set up my wife's Mail.app to use her Exchange account. When I did mine, the first pane asked for name, email address, user name, and password. It then automatically grabbed all the information and set the account up. Very slick.
For hers (on a different server), I don't get a box for user name. It's entirely possible that her server is configured differently and this won't work, but wouldn't Mail ask for a user name so that it could go look at the server?
Any suggestions?
TIA

Do you still have that original Exchange account? If so, that'll be the problem. You can only have ONE Exchange account on any single device and so Mail simply doesn't offer the option if one already exists.
This is a fundamental limitation of Microsoft's Exchange/Active Sync technology and not Apple's fault at all. Windows Mobile devices are similarly restricted and many users are deeply frustrated and unhappy about this, but there's nothing anyone can do.

HELP! my mac has logged me out and now asking for a name and password?

I was logged on shopping on top-shop online and suddenly the mac shut down.
It seems it has reset its self! My icon has disappeared and its now asking for a name and password.
i have tried my log in but it is not working.
Is there another way to reset the password?
can i reset it to log back in what can i do?
I have rebooted the computer several times but i dont know what to do!

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user ['name'] - ['name'] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

Hi,
We are running a Mountain Lion Server with Open Directory / LDAPv3, as far as I can tell. My responsibility is to get my CentOS 6.3 box running Samba v. 3.5.10-125.el6 to authenticate users against the ML / OD box. I can ssh to the CentOS box OK and I can get Guest access to the Samba share to go OK too. Also, the OD passwords on the LDAP server are set to 'Open Directory' so I guess that means that they are encrypted and the Samba server is set to send encrypted passwords. But when a user tries to properly authenticate using either say via a Mac client Finder [Command-K], or smbclient, the Samba server will generate this message:
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user ['name'] -> ['name'] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
(I am blanking out the user name on purpose).
Of course there is more to the story, but those are the basics.
Here are the relevant parts of my smb.conf. FWIW, the CentOS / Samba box is called Jupiter.
Thank you,
NickZ

Turns out a printer driver installed on an XP (even W2K(?)) was (apparently?) flooding the OS X SMB server to the point of collapse. Uninstalling the "HP Tools" part of the driver cleared it up. The printer is an HP LJ1300. I had downloaded the full driver from HP.com. I don't know if any/all these conditions need to be matched, but: the printer was on the network using an HP print server JetDirect EX Plus, and the computer(s) in question were connecting directly to it (not via a print server). It's been too long ago, but there were always several errors in the System Log (Win XP Event Viewer) that correlated with the errors on the OS X server.
Proud to say that since that day (10+ months ago) I've not seen it happen again. whew.
