Automatically selecting the correct network.

My wife has an G4 iBook. She has a wireless network at work and home. When she turns on her iBook at work, it automatically connects to that network.
At home, the iBook selects our neighbor's network. She has to manually select our home network. We want the iBook to select our home's network not the neighbor's.
What settings do I need to change so it will automatically select the home network not the neighbors, when at home and still automatically select the work network when at work?
Thank you

The laptop is running 10.3.9. I do not see a preferred network list. I can select the location Home and select by default join, Home in the menu. This works from home. But when she goes to work the laptop does not automatically join the work network so she has to manually select the work network.
Only one location works automatically, the other one must be selected manually.
Am I missing something?

  • How do I get my Macbook Pro to automatically select the location when connecting to the wireless network?

    Each time when I want to connect to a different network I have to manually select the location and it's becoming very annoying. How do I get it to automatically select the location?

    Check the following settings on your MacBook
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Network
    Click on AirPort on the left
    Click Advanced at the lower right
    If you have a "favorite" network, make sure it is first in the connection list. If it's not, drag it there
    Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined"
    No other boxes should be checked
    Click OK, then click Apply

  • How to get Time Machine to "find" the correct network location

    I have a Time Capsule set up to work wirelessly with my Macbook Air. I set it up as an additional network. This network is used for backups to Time Capsule only. It does not have any connection to my existing home network that I use for internet access, printing, etc. Is there a way to make my Mac switch to the correct network when Time Machine is trying to start a backup? Right now, I have to manually select the network in Airport locations. When I want to use the internet, or print to a network printer, I have to manually switch back to the main network. That defeats the purpose of Time Machine's automatic backup capability. I was not able to get TM working when TC was set up on my main network; that's why I had to set up a separate network connection.

    Leopard just arrived this morning for me, but I haven't yet had a chance to install it. Is this to say that by default, Leopard ignores any drives that aren't directly attached to your Mac? I don't mind having to do your suggested work around, it just kind of annoys me that Apple would so blatantly ignore the needs of mobile users. My MacBook is not tethered to an external hard drive all hours of the day. But it is on my wireless network any time it is awake. Hence, network drives (in my case AirPort Disk) make sense for me.

  • Will files with hidden file extensions in Mac OS X still open automatically in the correct application on a windows PC?

    I recently submitted some job applications that had word and PDF attachments. However, when I saved the files I unwittingly had the 'hide extension' box selected. Will these files still open automatically in the correct application on a PC? (ie are the file extensions just 'hidden' at my end or are they completely removed by selecting this option so as to cause problems when opening them on a PC?)
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, so having the 'hide extension' box checked when saving a new file for the first time won't save the file without an extension? (because I understand that Mac OS doesn't rely on the file extension but has other ways of knowing what the file is and what to open it with)
    The reason I'm paranoid now is because one of the fields where I was uploading a file had a message to Mac users saying something like 'Mac users, be sure to save your file with an extension'. Surely this just happnes by default??

  • How to make it stop automatically selecting the waveform after recording.

    When I stop recording, it automatically selects the wave form in the Waveform Editor window (it turns white.) Every time I have to mouse up and deselect it. Is there a way to tell Audition not to auto select when stopping recording? I could nto find a preference for this.

    It's because you have a syntax error in your "correct" examples. There should be another closing parenthesis before the opening curly brace:
    <?php
    if(isset($_POST['car'])) {
    The deep indentation is a bug that affects the layout of jQuery functions, and it will hopefully be fixed in the next version of Dreamweaver. In your case, it's unintentionally alerting you to a mistake in your PHP code.

  • Why does my cursor not automatically select the entire word when I try to select text by starting/ending in the middle of a word?

    In any other browser I've used (or word processor, for that matter) when I select text using my mouse cursor, if I start and/or end in the middle of a word, it automatically selects the whole word when I'm selecting more than one word. But for some reason this is not happening in Firefox. If I try to select say 3 words, and I start in the middle of the first word and end in the middle of the last word, it will only select those parts, not all 3 words entirely.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

  • Data types used in a sub VI - selecting the correct input and output types?

    data types used in a sub VI - selecting the correct input and output types?
    I can never work out how to choose an input or output format for Subvi's.
    I want to create a SubVI for the code in red. I needs an VI Server Reference compatible input and an output that goes to  a waveform.
    Thanks in advance.

    GerdW,
    I realise now I have taken us in the wrong direction. apologies for that.
    History, this is not my code and I do not own the process and NOT my preferred method of using it. I was looking for a simple way to make subtle changes.
    What we do - We use these programs to collect data from typically 6 pressures and 6 temperature probes and capture RS232 / USB VISA strings from sensors.
    So every few weeks / months or up to a year we rearrange each sensor location to suit the new process. I did not write the code. I cannot change the procedure too much without resistance.
    So headers in the CSV file have the DaqMX string passed through the code. Great.
    Other data to the CSV file comes from calculations or extracted from the VISA string. Hence why we have headers with "Untitled 1 ()". These values also go to a History Chart.
    So I was looking for a simple way to read the the local variable label as it is always linked to the front page indicator. People can cope with editing the indicator label, save the VI and hit run.
    TL;DR - GerdW is now a psychologist.

  • My iphone 4 has changed to daylight savings.  I do not live in an area with daylight savings?  How do i keep the phone on automatic with the correct time?

    My iphone 4 has changed to daylight savings.  I do not live in an area with daylight savings?  How do i keep the phone on automatic with the correct time?

    I have the same issue. I live in Arizona and we also don't do that stupid daylight savings. When I put it to auto it says Denver. Location should pick up Phoenix. Needs to get fixed because I have to manually set it every time I travel now until DST is over.

  • Selecting the correct membership type

    Hello,
    I am wondering if I selected the correct type of Creative Cloud membership a couple of months ago upon signup.
    I am a photographer and use only Lightroom and Photoshop. Upon switching over to Creative Cloud, I selected the "Creative Cloud for Teams" but now I am thinking that this may not have been the best option. I work alone and only need the two apps.
    Can I switch my membership to something that makes more sense for my business?
    Thanks!

  • Selecting the correct lot size...

    Hi,
    I have some problem in selecting the correct lot size, please help me solve it.
    The requirement of raw materials per month is 100nos. But the vendor cannot supply them in qty required by us but supply can happen in 1000nos. I cannot purchase all the quantities as materials cannot be kept in store for long period.
    Which type of lot size is suitable for this type of scenario. Is there any SAP standards available or configuration is required?
    Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi Pavan,
    This is not a lot size issue  , but a process issue.  You cannot choose a lot size unless you are clear what is the qty for which you expect  PR in this case?
    Once that is clear,  you  will get lot size as needed
    cheers

  • How do I select the correct ram for upgrade to iMac 8,1?

    How do I select the correct ram for upgrade on my iMac 8,1? When I look up information online, I believe that I have SO-DIMM ram. Do I need to purchase SO DiMM? I want to upgrade to Maverick and I think I was told that I need DDR2 or SDRAM. My model # is A1224, if that helps.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X Mavericks requires 2 GB of RAM at least, but I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM.
    You have got an Early 2008 iMac. You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial. Your Mac supports 6 GB of RAM
