Wrt54g and tivo and passwords

I have a few issues and need to figure these out. I have been trying to work them out and just can't seem to make it all coordinate.
I have my linksys set up but it is unsecure - no password. I need to fix that. A few months ago I tried. I followed all the instructions and it seemed to work. Then when I went to log in with my tivo wireless, it failed. I mean the tivo would not connect. I didn't realize it for a few days then I reset everything, changed names and didn't use a password. I haven't been too worried but I just bought a laptop and don't want to do anything on the internet till I get this solved.
Are there any tivo owners that have had this problem? I am going to work on this tomorrow and see if I can figure it out, but I wanted to try here first. Thanks!

To secure your wireless network follow the below mentioned settings.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Tivo should work with a secured network, If it doesn't allow you connect to the secure network then try using WEP key.
Also, you can try reducing the the MTU Size to 1365 on the set-up tab  and click Save Settings... and click Save Settings...Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings....

  • TV and TiVo - Please Help!

    Okay, I have a problem that may force me to return my TV. We have 2 TV's in our house. Only one is an HDTV and BOTH have TiVo. Getting rid of TiVo is NOT an option because I love it and can't imagine life without it since having it. Also, we are obligated to keep them for the 2 year agreement or face major penalty fees. We also have DVD recorders hooked up to each tv. HOW do I add the TV to this setup. Apple has said that they have no info on how to set it up with TiVo which I find ridiculous since TiVo has so many subscribers. Can anyone help? Do you have TV and TiVo and have it working? Thanks in advance!!!

    an I just get the HD cable for the AppleTV and plug it directly into the TV? Will I have to view it on another input (Cable and TiVo are set to Video 2).<</div>
    Well, you have a few options.
    If your HDTV has both HDMI and component inputs, then connect the Tivo to the component and the Apple TV to the HDMI, then use the HDTV remote to change the "source".
    Or, buy a received with both HDMI and component input (and a single output to the HDTV) and use the receiver remote to change the "source".

  • TIVO to TIVO and Express

    My two Series II TIVOs can see my AP Snow base station, the Internet (connected to my cable router via ethernet), can be see with TIVO Desktop on my iMac and Dell Win XP, but they cannot see each other. I've done all the TIVO things but no joy (used to work in another house and I don't want to move things around in this house).
    My AP Express profile works fine for my wireless speakers in the back yard.
    I want to setup another profile where the TIVOs will use Express when it is placed next to them. SO far that configuration eludes me.
    1. I think I want to set up Express as a remote base station extending the signal so the TIVO's USB adapters get the strongest signal possible. How is this done? Speaker and USB ports will not be used on the Express.
    2. I want the TIVO to TIVO transfers to either:
    - go through Express wirelessly, if fast enough; or
    - use an Ethernet hub attached to the Express and connect the TIVOs to the hub for "a direct hard wire transfer". The TIVOs still need to get to the internet via the AP main base station for their updates.
    I'm not sure WDS will work:
    - there are two non-Apple) Linksys USB 802.11b and one Dell Mini WiFi 11b adapters) in play.
    - can separate WDS and Itunes speaker profiles co-exist?
    If WDs will work, how do I set up up? It sounds like a pain to correct if I get it wrong.
    Before upgrading to 802.11g, I'm holding out for 11n and mixed adapter support from Apple.
    All advice on questions above appreciated. Mike

    Dude,
    All I can tell you is how I set it up. I have 2 Macs, a Xbox 360, 2 dual tuner series II TiVos, and a single tuner series II TiVo, all running on a wireless 802.11g network created with a AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express. I live in a townhouse, so we run 128 bit WEP (since the TiVos won't recognize WPA security) with a 13 digit password (dictated by the Xbox). All TiVos use official TiVo brand 11g USB adapters, and the Xbox uses it's 360 brand adapter. The Express is wirelessly slaved to the Extreme using the AirPort Utility, so I can play my iTunes downstairs on the iMac right next to the Extreme and direct it through the speakers plugged into the Express upstairs. Works like a charm, all the while allowing the transfer of programs recorded on 1 TiVo wirelessly to any other TiVo. The only problem is that the TiVos tend to restart every once and a while. It happens if you leave it alone for a few hours, and then attempt to watch something. If you unplug the wireless adapter it won't restart. TiVo support recognizes the problem and are supposedly working on a fix. They only know it is a problem with wireless adapters so they haven't promised when they will fix it. Any way, I hope this helps.
    Oh yeah, I forgot that my wife is also on the network with her piece of crap Dell laptop and a T-Mobile wireless card.

  • I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used      to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s.  I have an iphone 4.  It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I know if this email is genuine?

    I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S.  I have an iphone 4.  It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I tell if the email is genuine?

    Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
    You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
    As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    My new ipod touch 4g doesn't let me download apps, it just says type in Apple ID password and when i do it asks for it again and again and again.... what should i do?

    I've got the same problem as well. When i connect all i see is "set up your iphone" screen. It worked perfectly fine a couple of weeks back when I last synced but, doesn't sycn anymore.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
    Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
    So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
    I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

It appears from these forums that a lot of people are having the same problems wit this latest update.

    Hi erastyle,
    Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
    Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

  • I can receive email from my regulare email account but I cannot send. I get an error message that I have to go to settings and enter a password, but when I do the password is there. I have tried re-entering password with the same result.How can I send?

    I am able to receive email, but when I try to reply I get an error message to go to settings and enter a password. My password is there and I have re-entered it with no success. How can I enable send feature from my I Phone?

    You have to go to SMTP settings for your email account and enter a password there. Sended and receiving are two different activities managed by 2 differet servers, and each may require a separate user ID and password.

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

  • I have a new email address but when I try to open apple ID my iPad automatically opens the old email and says my password is incorrect. I can't get around it.

    I have a new email address but when I am asked to sign in with my Apple ID for Apple store my iPad automatically shows my old email and rejects my password. How do I get around this?

    I kind of agree with Philly on this one.  If you get a new email address, there is no need to establish an entirely new account to use that address.  You just need to modify your account to show the new email address.  This way all your purchase history and rights to purchased apps stays in place.  Creating a new iTunes/Apple account each time your email address changes really doesn't make sense in my opinion.   I only point this out for future searchers who end up on this thread.

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.

  • Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

  • Somebody has created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy.How can I resolve this?

    When I tried to create and apple id using my gmail account i found that somebody has already created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy. Now the problem is that the other guy also can reset my password and access my account.
    I contacted apple customer care and they are not ready to help me saying that I need to give information about the last device I logged in using this id. How can I give it when I did not create it?:) Also they are saying this account has been verified and that could happen only if someone has hacked my gmail account and verified the id using the link sent by apple.
    Later I did some experiments and found that this is a security flaw from apple. Somebody has created the id and never used it(I tried to loggin to icloud and it was saying this account was not used it any apple device). The account became verified when I reset the password.(This is a bug, account should be verified only when we click on the verification link sent by apple).
    The other mistake apple did is that they allotted my gmail account to someone before it's verified eventhough it cannot be used unless verified. Actually apple should allot the account id only after verifying the email address.
    Apple customer care is not ready to help and I am tired of fighting with them. Can any of you guys suggest any means of getting back my gmail id to use it as apple id?

    I don't think you're going to be able to. I would guess the other person used your address by accident, and when he found he couldn't access the account (because you'd changed the password) he abandoned it. Your GMail address is now locked to that account and even if it was changed you can't use it to create another.
    You already have an Apple ID, which you use to log in here; you can use that to create an iCloud account if that's what you are trying to do. If you want to create a different Apple ID just get another free address such as a Yahoo one.
