I am 63 yrs. old and I just want to use my iPod for music.  As soon as I turn my iPod on, it connects to the internet.  How can I have control over when I do or do not connect to the internet?  (I have wifi)

Help!  I have an iPod Touch 5th generation with iOS 8.1 that I just purchased two days ago.  I am of the early 70's generation and this is all new to me.  I have wifi at home because i have a laptop.  I want to use my iPod mainly for creating playlists and then playing it through my stereo.  When I turn my iPod on, it automatically connects to the internet.  How can I control when I connect to the internet?  I am not a kid wanting to use all the "gadgets" please help me so I don't feel that I've totally wasted all of this money on this purchase!  Thank you so much for your help!.

Hey Evawantsin, turning off Wi-Fi as suggested by Illaass will do the trick, but how are you connecting to your stereo? If it uses Wi-Fi, then you need to turn the Wi-Fi on for music sessions. If through Bluetooth your fine, or do you use a physical connection like a dock, USB to lighting cable or do you just plug in through the headphone port with a patch cable? Also, you can down load the iPod Touch Users Guide for iOS 8 for free from iTunes. It will answer most questions, or at least point you in a direction. Hope this helps. Good luck, Cheers.

    Be aware, you go that route & every time you try to update or restore, it will error out, leaving your phone unusable. Not to mention, you void all warranty/support.
    Sell it & use the proceeds towards an officially unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.
    Good luck.

    The above was truncated and garbled a bit and I can't figure out how to edit it.  So just to repeat the question a bit more clearly: "I'm using Acrobat XI on Windows.  I want to add my company's logotype as a watermark to a PDF document.  When I add it as a file (jpeg), the logotype is printed on a white square background (because the jpeg is square with a white background of course).  It will be positioned on the PDF document on a light, uniform yellowish color, which I want to show through.

  • How can I export to a .sfw file? it does not give me the option in FILE EXPORT.

    how can I export to a .sfw file? it does not give me the option in FILE > EXPORT. I have Flash installed and everthing.

    The feature to export SWF files directly from After Effects has been removed. It never worked at all well.
    To create SWF files, use Flash Professional.
    If you want to play a movie that you've created in After Effects in a SWF container, then export your composition using Adobe Media Encoder in H.264 format and then link or embed that movie into a SWF file in Flash Professional.

  • How can I restore my iphone to a backup that's not listed in the drop down menu

    I updated my iphone and everything was removed. I attempted to restore it however the only backups that are available when I have the iphone logged into itunes is the one from today. How can I apply an older backup say 1 to 2 days ago to the drop down menu of the restore button? Right now the only thing that's showing up is the one for today and that's abslolutely not the one I want or need. And before the question is asked no I didn't save it to icloud.

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Thus, there are no previous backups from 1 or 2 days ago unless you restored your phone & backed up before you restored. Restore point backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

    I have the same problem but your advice did not work for me. Pehaps I do not understand your directions. What do you mean by "go to where you saved the album artwork"? I never had any problem adding new artwork until I installed iTunes version 11.1.3 (8). Now I can't add new artwork anymore. Is there a special file in this version of iTunes where I should be saving the artwork I want to add to make it work? Before I could save it anywhere.
    If you downloaded the artwork from the Internet. It'll be in your downloads folder. Open the folder, and "drag" the image from the folder to the Artwork box in the Info pane as shown:
    When you see the "+" you know it's ready to drop, and it will add the artwork to ALL selected tracks as soon as you click "OK".

    How can I remove "unread messages" when I know I do not have any?

    Hit the num lock button again. Num lock forces only the numeric keypad underlying keys to work as a  numeric keypad, and the rest of the keyboard won't work.  Unfortunately Apple stopped including the numeric keypad hidden keyboard key labels on its keyboards.  They used to include them.  They are known as mouse keys: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/cdb_moskys.html

    Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
    1. SMC reset
    >>Instructions to reset SMC
    Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
    Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc.  If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
    Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
    Other related hardware problems (optional):
    Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
    Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.
