I had no idea Apple charge THIRTY FIVE POUNDS just to answer a simple question if your Mac is older than 90 days. Guess someones got to pay for all that snazzy advertising :rolleyes:
The funny thing is, despite the size of this post im convinced my question is REALLY SIMPLE...
It all started yesterday - I set up my new Sky Broadband wireless Modem, then I took my Mac Mini out the box and set it up for the First Time. I was amazed my Mac Mini detected my Sky Broadband and I entered my Network Key provided by Sky when I was prompted to enter my Password. I was even more amazed when my Mac Mini confirmed the wireless internet connection and completed the set up. Simple.
The internet worked great until I put my mac to sleep and went to sleep. When I tried to check my email this morning I was told by Safari that there was no internet connection. I tried using the Network assistant and it found my Sky Modem as before and requested a password. Heres the problem, the same password I used yesterday no longer works. I didn't change any settings, I simply put it to sleep, so nothing has changed, yet the mesage says password invalid etc.
Also, I planned to set up my Macbook Pro today and connect it to the same network so my Macs could finally talk. When I saw the problem with the Mac Mini I decided to take the Macbook out the box anyway and see if it would connect first time as easy as the Mac Mini did. So I went through the set up screens on the Macbook and it found my Sky Broadband wireless Modem and requested a password. I entered the same Sky Network Key I successfully entered yesterday for my Mac Mini and IT DIDN'T WORK EITHER :scared:
I've read some very complex stuff trying to find advice on the web but my wireless connection has worked (albiet briefly) in the past. I'd really appreciate any advice - Using my slow but faithful windows laptop to write this is killing me!!! :cursing:
Thanks in advance...
