Wifi password location?

i am trying to set up my iphone 4 for wifi access on my Time Capsule device on my wifi network. iphone is asking me to enter the password for the network (in Settings > Wifi) but it keeps asking me for this after i enter it. if i enter what i think is the pass it lets me click "Join" but if I enter something shorter or that apparently is not the password it will not let me click "Join". however, it keeps asking me this.
i took a look in Airport Utility on the Mac Pro but I only see dots for the password and the /number/ of dots seems to be in line with what i am entering. I've tried all caps in case this was on when I entered the pass on my computer and no luck.
i'd like to get the phone on the network and would be grateful for any suggestions or urls etc for troubleshooting this.
THANKS

On the Mac the best place to keep passwords (in my opinion so others may have better ideas) is in the keychain as notes.
So open the Keychain app,
Click on the "secure notes" (left bottom column).
Then hit the plus button on the bottom bar.
You can add a title and then add any text in the note.
Later you can then view this text by double clicking the note name and entering the login password.
You can add the keychain to the menu bar by choosing "preferences" from the drop down menu,
and tick the box:
Now you can lock the screen or find passwords from the menu:

Entering your Wifi password will not - unless I'm missing something completely - disable your iPad. The only thing which will disable your iPad that I'm aware of is entering your passcode for iPad incorrectly multiple times.
If this is the case then please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have forgotten your password for your router the WPA or WPA2 key as it's also known as they you will need to log in to your Router and setup a new WPA(2) key.

TS1398 my Iphone 4 S will not accept Wifi Passwords - for some Wifi locations

@ some locations my Iphone 4 S would not accept the Wifi Password , gives me a error " incorrect Password " - any suggestiions ? It connects with my Home linksys moderm .

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can
unlock it. If the iPhone is locked to Orange, you have to
work with Orange to get it unlocked. Perhaps someone
more familiar with UK wireless providers will jump in as
to the 30 day period, but generally the wireless provider
sets the unlock requirements. It sounds like Orange is trying
to discourage unlocking or at least make it inconvenient.

Locating where to load wifi password

I am in a guest house where the wifi password is changed on the first of every month. My iphone and iPad find the network ID but I cannot find where to change the password.
I am sure it is simple, but so too am I.
Thank you.

Thanks, but not asked for a password and receive the "unable to join" box. I reset, incidientally. Didn't help. Still need to find a box to load the new password. It was just as messy on my laptop but that is solved. Sadly, not with the iPhone or iPad.
Cheers

I can't enter my new wifi password because I can't link my keyboard without wifi. Is there an on screen keyboard? Imac so x 10.9.5

I Can't add the new wifi password after moving home because my keyboard needs Internet to set up. any ideas? iMac is x 10.9.5
thanks

No there is not an on-screen keyboard.
Why don't you use your keyboard to input the Wi-Fi password?
If your keyboard is an Apple wireless keyboard, then it is a Bluetooth keyboard. In the event the keyboard will not connect to your computer (you type and nothing happens!!) then simply follow these directions: Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues - Apple Support
Once you have the keyboard connected and working then simply input the Wi-Fi password and you are done.
If you still have trouble then I strongly suggest you contact AppleCare and they can help you through the problem. If you don't know the phone number then please click https://locate.apple.com/country to get started.

Forgotten Wifi Password

I have a time capsule (vers 7.7.3) that I have now returned twice. The first time I returned it was because it kept forgetting it's wifi password and had to be rebooted every day to get it to remember it. It was replaced by a time capsule that worked great in terms of wifi but after a couple of backups to it the hard drive failed. So I'm on the third time capsule now and back to the wifi password issue. Sometimes when it forgets it's 2.4 GHz password you can still get a connection on the 5GHz channel long enough to connect to airport utility to tell the time capsule to restart. Once restarted it will hold it's password for almost an entire day. I've seen others in other forums that have had same/similar problems but I've not seen any solutions offered up. My setup is fairly straight forward. I have an older timecapsule that is working fine except that it's signal is not strong enough to reach the second floor of our house. I have the newer time capsule (the problematic one) located upstairs and configured with a very simple name and totally numeric wifi password. I am using a static IP address. I am creating a wireless network using WPA/WPAw Personal secuity and have tried assigning channels and using automatic both. I have a unique name for the 5GHz network. I am running in Bridge Mode and IPv6 is configured link local only. I am at my wits end with this. Any one else having similar issues or know of any solution? Jane

You have done all the things I can think of.
I doubt the TC has forgotten the password.. as a reboot would not then fix it.
The failure is something more important.
I do not like using wpa/wpa2 password.. use WPA2 Personal only. That is the only reliable way.
Test with no password at all if you cannot get it working with WPA2 only.
Did you do a full factory reset before you made all these changes??
I have another setup you can try that might help.
That is to use the TC in static IP mode not bridge.
This might help things.
I described the method here. Last post in this thread.. sorry I don't know how to point to a particular post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6153250?tstart=0
Tell me more info on the whole network setup.. particularly the main modem/router and details of its setup, including home IP and dhcp range .. if you need me to give you some hints for how to fix it on the TC..
Do try it but start with a full factory reset.. and do it twice over.. one after the other..
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Wifi passwords missing from Mavericks keychain

In OS X 10.8 and previous, all my wifi passwords were stored in my keychain, and were viewable in keychain access.
Following my upgrade of the OS to Mavericks, I now can't locate or view any wifi (AirPort) network passwords that were previously saved in my OS keychain.
I DON'T have iCloud keychain activated, and never had.
Please can someone help me out with this issue?
Thank you in advance for any assistance that you're able to provide!

I had the same issue just now, but I found the solution.
You need to select a different keychain in the top left of the window.
normally "login" is selected, and I found the wifi passwords in "Local Items".
hope that helps others.

Loosing Wifi password every start up and coming from hibernation.

Hi There... Several months ago, I started to notice that every time I turned my MacBook Air on, or came back from hibernation, I will have to retype the Wifi password from my network. Is almost like the Mac for some reason can not hold it in memory. At the begining it was not bad.... Any body can re-type passwords.. right???.... but after a while...well... you get the picture... wife calls to get the password every time.. etc.... Does somebody knows how can I solve this?
Thank you!!

For future reference, you have a MacBook Air question here, so you would want to post in the MacBook Air support community.....MacBook Air......or....in the support community of the operating system that you are using.....Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
Check to make sure that your wireless network password is saved on your MacBook Air as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Locate the listing with the name of the wireless network
Double click that listing
Enter your main administrator password for the MacBook Air to reveal the wireless network password to make sure that it is correct
Close KeyChain Access
Next, open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on Wi-Fi on the left, then click Advanced at the lower right
Make sure that the name of your preferred wireless network appears first in line at the top of the connection order list. If it's not, drag it there.
Make sure that there is a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined.
No other boxes should be checked
Click OK at the lower right of the window, then click Apply at the lower right of the next window that appears
Close Network and System Preferences and restart the MacBook Air to see that will help.
If you are still having difficulty, you may need to re-install the operating system for the Mac Air.

WIFI password not synced with iOS device

For short: I'm excluded off my own WIFI net because Apple's iCloud Keychain didn't sync the WIFI password from my MacBook to my iPad.
For my holidays I bought a nice portable WIFI hard disk. This device can not only take the memory cards of my camera and store the images without any computer, but also establishes a WIFI network, by which I can access the content of the mobile harddisk wirelessly.
At home, I configured this neat device with my MacBookPro and accessed it via WIFI by choosing the WIFI hard disk's network and entering the password, which Apple suggested during the configuration process of the WIFI hard disk. At this moment (entering the WIFI password to connect with the hard disk's network), I had to recurr onto the OSX keychain helper: look for the formerly entered password and paste it into the WIFI accounting form - and check the box "store in the icloud keychain". Ok.
Ok? Nothing's ok on my iOS devices (iPad and iPhone). Why?
By checking the box, I was sure that the password would indeed be synced with and stored within the iCloud keychain.
But I went wrong!
Now on holidays, with my camera, my iPad, my WIFI hard disk and – without my MacBookPro (because it's a holidays killer) – I tried to connect my iPad with the WIFI of the mobile hard disk. Seeing it's WIFI network, I tapped on it and got the accounting dialog: Enter password.
Which password?!?
I had instructed the Apple iCloud to store this password – and deliver it to any authorized device if needed.
But Apple, seemingly, did NOT do this and failed to deliver the password to my iPad (which is naturally registered to the same Apple ID as my MacBook).
What shall I do now? I have NO access neither to my MacBookPro (which is at home) nor to my iCloud keychain (which Apple thinks the best to protect against me).
To be honest, I feel patronized in a very ugly way by Apple - once again.
My question is: Why isn't there a way to access or manage the iCloud keychain from an iOS device? Should it be that Apple thinks these devices are LESS SECURE?
Any help is very welcome! Thanks in advance.

Thanks, FromSouth -
I called Apple Support and they also said that she has to have access to my iCloud account. We did figure out that some of the notes from 2011 and 2012 are from a shared business account which also allows notes, but that is a Verizon account and should not impact, in any way, shape, or form, the iCloud account.
I do not believe my daughter actually did this; I am guessing that her iCloud account was also accessed by her husband (who is not a good guy), and he, without her knowledge, synced her iCloud to his iPhone to track all her stuff. I then believe he got hold of mine and did the same a couple of days ago, as we are all together for a large family vacation (in the same house).
I guess I have a couple more questions about this, though:
Normally, when you sync a new device with your account, you get a message on all your old devices - but I did not get anything of the kind. How would this be possible? I guess maybe if he synced it while standing there with my iPad, then my iPad would get an alert, and he would just turn it off?? (I know all this sounds excessive, but believe me, he'd go to this length.)
I find it difficult to believe that he could have cracked my iCloud password - it's not something that anyone would ever put together easily. How would he be able to access the account without a password? Is there any kind of app or software that he could have installed on my iPad that would allow that? (Again, believe me, he'd do it.)
Is there any way to see in iCloud what devices are linked to the account? That alone would show me what device has this.
Finally, I have my iPad password-protected, so I cannot imagine he would have gotten into my iPad in the first place...how would he have gained access to this otherwise? I really thought I was being very smart on how I set this all up, and two days in the same location as him and now this....
I really thank you for any help you can give me on this one...
Thanks!

HT5569 iPad will not accept my wifi password

I had my iPad replaced today due to battery failure. The replacement iPad will not accept any of my wifi passwords at work or at home. Is there a setting that needs to be reviewed? I have rebooted both the iPad and routers at both locations, no one else is having problems with these passwords or their wifi connections.
Any suggestions?

My iPad Mini keeps saying "incorrect wifi password"

So just recently my ipad had dissconnected itself from our internet, i had attempted to re enter our regular wifi password which is about thirty numbers long, and it said incorrect, i figured sicne it was so long i mistyped something. so i typed it in another 10 or so times, no change. i later called apple which got me no where because appearently you now have to pay for phone sevices which is absouloutly ludacris. And seeing as our closest apple stores are in Detroit, or London, my parents cant just go take me whenever.
So anyways, i have googled every possible thing i can, and i still havent found any troublshooting things that work. Soft resets, and resseting network settings didnt help either. We thought it may have been our router, but yesterday i hd gotten a new phone which had no problems at all connecting to our internet, as well as my sister who had forgotten and reconected to our internet with out a problem too, i have tried updating to the latest ios but my itunes wont let me do it through the computer, and seeing as i have no wifi on my ipad i cant do it that way either.
So now im trying all i can to try and get it to update. I dont really want to restore because if i do and it doesnt fix anything, im stuck with an ipad that is basically usless because i cant download apps without wifi. And i have tried the whole turning on and off your router sequence many times and it hasnt worked.
So is there any way that i can fix this without restoring or going to apple? Restoring is my last resort.

Even though other devices can connect, it may still be worth resetting the router. Does it connect to other Wi-Fi networks?
If that doesn't work, you've done all the basic troubleshooting, so it's time for a restore.
If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware issue.

IPad 2 on iOS 5.1 losing wifi password.

I've updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and now it won't keep the wifi password. Each time I have to re-input the password. Sometimes it loses the password whilst I'm using it and just disconnects. It was fine on 5.0 but it's doing my nut in now. I'm sure this is a software glitch so Apple sort it out! My new iPad has had this problem once since I've had it, but the iPad 2 won't remember the password no matter what. It's not hardware as it worked fine for a year before this update.

1- What type of security are you using? (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.)
2- Do you have your router set to hide your network's SSID (network name)?
WEP seems to be problematic with iOS devices, and it is not very good security anyway. Using WPA2 is far better and plays nice with iOS.
Hiding your SSID can be problematic with iOS devices (my son's Mac had a problem with that too). There really is no need to hide your SSID since that doesn't protect you in any way, it is quite easy to sniff around and find your network (I have a free app for that, so that tells you how prevalent such 'tools' are).

Lost WiFi password. How can I get it back?

Hello, all. A few months ago I was cleaning out my laptop of old files I don't need anymore and since I had amassed at least 150 files (yeah, I'm not very frequent on cleaning), I was mass deleting files to make it a faster task. In my deleting spree, I deleted a very important file. A file that held my WiFi security settings, password, etc. I now need my WiFi password since I'm buying a Wii U when that comes out on the 18th.
I am hoping to hook up said Wii U to the internet, but as we all know, that requires WiFi which requires knowing your password. Which, I don't know the password by heart, and I need the find it again. Is there any way for me to find the password of my WiFi router without having to call in someone from the GEEK Squad or would it be best to have someone sent out? Its not a major hurry since its just a gaming console and therefore not a life necessity, but still it'd be nice to have.
The router is a Linksys and if it means anything my two computers are Windows XP (PC) and Windows 7 (laptop). Thanks for any help that can be offered. Hoping I can get this resolved.

You're much better off utilizing the 'reset' button the back of your router and going through the setup again, and writing down the password that you set this time.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update. (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.
