Every time I introduce the WPA2 passwords I can´t connect. I can only connect to open wi fi networks? Does anyone know why? Thanks

Thank you Linc,


I have run the wireless diagnostics and all seems to be just fine. I can see the wifi network I want to connect to and all is green. However when I do connect to the network and it asks me the password, I type it in and when I hit accept, there is inmediately a small message with a warning signs that reads ¨connection fail¨ and other times it reads "connection time out", both messages appear inmediately, it doesn´t even seem to attempt to connect...


Thanks in advance for your help...

Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.

Step 1

Back up all data.

Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services Reveal

from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

Go Go to Folder...

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Step 2

Reset the System Management Controller
