Any way to NOT auto connect with wifi?

I connected to a WiFi that was near me. Turned out to be a Jack-In-The-Box wifi which requires you to be in the restaurant looking at their tv screen for a code to type in.. well, anyways its really annoying now when trying to get online and it hooks up to that signal!
Anyway to make it not AUTO connect to ONLY that WiFi signal?

When connected to the network tap on Settings/WiFi, then the arrow to the right of the network name, then "Forget this network"

Any way to NOT import JPEGs with RAWs?

When I import RAW files from my camera, Aperture imports the JPEG images as well but keeps it hidden from view. I dug into the Aperture Vault to check out what was going on, and it stores the 4-5 MB JPEG alongisde each RAW file. I can't see the reason for this. I'm not interested in these crappy JPEGs and they are just taking up room on my hard drive. Is there any way to get Aperture to not import the JPEGs when importing RAW files?

step 1 ... stop shooting RAW+JPG ...
ok, i got that out of the way ... do you import directly from the camera ??? or directly from card reader into aperture ???
me, i NEVER import directly from card to program ... EVER ...
last week i needed to shoot RAW+JPG, only because i needed quick access to some JPGs and didn't have aperture handy ...
when i returned i copied my card contents to a desktop folder (like i always do) and used the search box and entered JPG ... then i deleted every one - they had served their purpose ... then i dupped the folder of RAW files and then imported into aperture ... no JPGs imported ...
seriously the only way to not have aperture import the JPG with the RAW is to weed out the JPGs (or not shoot RAW+JPG - but i already covered that)

Brand new Ipad not auto connecting on wifi network

I've read the old posts. I've adjusted the brightness and turned off auto brightness. I've changed my dhcp proxy to auto.
Same as everyone else, my macbook, ibook and iphones all connect to the network and access internet with NO PROBLEMS.
The Ipad will join the network, but will not access online content. Always times out.
This just started happening on day 2.
We all know this began back in early April.
I'm running a brand new Buffalo Nfiniti router with updated firmware. Again, every other apple device works just fine.

got this from the stickied FAQ.
iPad stopped auto connecting 5 minutes after non use. Then I tried this and it worked. Guess I have to do this every freaking time I want to use the net.
Renew IP address
In some larger wireless networks it may be necessary to renew your IP address. Renew your IP address using the following steps:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi
Locate the Wi-Fi network you are currently using and tap
Tap Renew Lease

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

Can the MacBook Air work with any other type of internet connection beside wifi?

Can the MacBook Air work with any other kind of internet connection besides Wifi?

Who? ITS VERY important when doing a restore, in fact you DO NOT want to do a wifi restore
The pros all have that Ethernet adapter,... that should tell you something. An Ethernet restore via that "thing" makes restoring the OSX about 8X faster.
Its called a Gigabit Ethernet adapter for a reason.
"who the heck" is anyone working with their Macbook Air at home and want a MUCH FASTER download / internet connection.
*Stockbrokers who pack their Macbook Air, arrive at work and plug that "hardwired" dongle to their Air........ because even seconds in the stock market can make the difference between losing a million $$, or making a million $$
So now you know WHY,.....before you didnt.

Any way to not include Contacts in auto-spell?

I find the use of words in Contacts in the auto-correct to be a tremendous annoyance. I have a large Contacts database and so there are just way too many names that are similar to words that I find my text riddled with names from Contacts.
Is there any way to keep auto-correct but have it not include words from Contacts?

.... I primarily use an Exchange account...email that say was sent to me as well as other people....
Is your name (email address) specifically in the To or CC line? Or is the message sent to a distribution group and you're a member of the distribution group? I can replicate this for Exchange accounts, but only when the person is part of a group and not listed specifically...and only with Outlook (specifically Outlook 2007.) I cannot replicate this in OSX Mail 4.2.
BTW, is your server Exchange 2007? OSX mail is only supported on Exchange 2007. When I tried OSX Mail with an Exchange 2003 server, I had weird issues. Sometimes mail wouldn't send, but nothing consistent that I could pin down. (My above server is Exchange 2007.)

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Wireless keyboard does not auto setup with a mac mini

I have just bought a mac mini and am trying to set it up, the only keyboard I have is the apple wireless keyboard. I have switched the Mac on and it finds the "magictrack pad" but does not seem to find the key board. The keyboard light flashes for the the 3 minutes looking for something to pair with - I have managed to pair it with my iPad (and remove the pairing - afterwards) but it does not auto-pair with the "new" Mac. The problem is that I cannot go any further (to allow me to complete the full setup procedure) without filling in the information that is required and I cannot fill in the information required without a keyboard. I do not have a USB (or any other keyboard) so I seem to be a little stuck. - Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Is there any way of connecting a PC laptop to the Mac Mini and use the keyboard on the PC?

Not sure what your process was but try this.
Make sure the Mini is off. Hold down the button
on the keyboard to make sure it is off. Next
start the Mini and as soon as you hear the
start up chime, press the power button on the
keyboard. Be sure not to press any other keys.
For what ever reason, timing is critical with the
keyboard pairing at boot time. This is only an
issue when doing things that require a keyboard
at boot. Once paired, it connects fine when normally
booting.

That is not possible.
If Find My iPhone was enabled on the device prior to it being lost, simply sign into iCloud.com and see if it can be tracked. If the phone is turned off, the SIM card is removed, or it otherwise is unable to connect to the Internet, the Find My iPhone feature will be unavailable.

Wi-fi connection does not auto connect on 21.5-inch mid 2010 imac help?

Wi-fi connection does not auto connect on 21.5-inch mid 2010 imac running OS X 10.8.3 (12D78) help? My wife's imac with OS X 10.6.8 has no problem getting on wi-fi automatically as well as my Ipad 2 running iOS 6.1.2

If you get a green light then you did not do a factory reset - you must disconnect all wires and follow the instructions above - you will end up with the Extreme blinking yellow - then use the Airport utility to set up the Extreme - you can put in your own names for the network, device etc. - when it comes to the passwords you can use ones of your own choice - it is not asking for the old one - if it is then it was not reset completely - try to reset again if necessary - it may take more than one try - if it still asks for a password then use "public" - it is the default - once you have set it up with your new information, and you have a green light, test the connection with your computer - if you can access the internet then you are all set - then try to a use the Apple TV with the new password - if the computer still asks for a password, then it is asking for the computer password and not the extreme or network password - I can't help you with that - you would have to ask that question on the iMac discussion group.
