Can I set the iPhone to ignore my neighbour's locked WiFi Network?

I know you can set the iPhone to "forget" a network you've previously joined. But, how about my neighbour's network that's locked, that I've never joined, and keeps prompting me to join it? Can I tell the iPhone to ignore it?
I know I can choose to turn “Ask to Join Networks” on or off but I want to leave it on for when I'm out and about.
Thanks.

Maybe if enough people voice the request for this feature, Apple will finally implement it. Add one more user to that list.
It seems backwards to me that you can only "forget" a network that you have already joined. Why would I want to do that?? I want to "forget" the annoying secured network next door that I CAN'T join, because it pops up and asks me every single day of my life, and I want to block it while still automatically joining unsecured networks. If Apple can't figure out how to do that, then they should at least add the option to ignore secured networks.

  • HT201441 Can't set up iPhone as old iCloud account is locked out even though device removed!!!

    My Mums iphone has been removed from its original iCloud account and a factory reset performed.
    I want to connect it to a new iCloud account (for my Dad), but when setting it up, it asks for the original iCloud account.
    When I enter the original account details in correctly, it says "Incorrect Apple ID, [email protected] cannot be used to unlock this iPhone."
    I can still log into iCloud with the original account on my PC and under "find my phone" is says no devices are connected.
    "Set up your iCloud account on an iPhone, .... to use Find My iPhone"
    Of course, I can't do that as I'm in an endless loop of going nowhere, locked out of my own device.
    I've tried using my wireless network and itunes with the same result.
    HOW CAN I CONTINUE TO SET UP AND ACCESS MY PHONE???
    I expect I'll have to make a special inconvenient trip into town to the Apple store. So much for user friendly!

    from Apple's web site - I tried these first and then other combinations:
      • Server name: imap.mail.me.com      - also tried using the p03-   before that which was in my Mac's settings for this account, also tried using the p03- in the IMAP prefix field
      • SSL Required: Yes   - I also tried the 3 other available settings, including TLS and accept all for both SSL and TLS
      • Port: 993  (also tried TLS / 143)
      • Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])  - I also tried using that with both @mac.com and @me.com as part of user name
      • Password: Your iCloud password
    I could not get past this stage with the stock / default Android mail app.  However, Aqua Mail allows me to enter both incoming and outgoing server settings before connecting (which both fail).
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
      • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
      • SSL Required: Yes - I also tried the 3 other available settings, including TLS and accept all for both SSL and TLS
      • Port: 587 (also tried SSL / 465)
      • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
      • Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker) -  I also tried using that with both @mac.com and @me.com as part of user name
      • Password: Your iCloud password

  • How can I set up my airport express to extend my current wifi network? My current network does not use any airport device.

    Can anyone help me?

    The only option would be to connect the AirPort to your existing network by wire. Most, if not all non-AirPort routers, will not be WDS compatible.

  • When I set up email for the first time, I had to enter a 4 digit pin. Since then, every time I switch my phone on, I have to enter this pin.   How do I remove or bypass the pin so that I can switch on the Iphone without having to first enter a pin?

    Go to Settings>General>Passcode Lock>tap Turn Passcode Lock Off, enter your "pin".
    Edit:  Are you saying you are getting a prompt for your email pin, or are you talking about the passcode lock that appears when you turn the phone on?

  • Ipad shows all regular Iphone inbound calls as Facetime.  I only want true FT calls to appear. I switch audio/video and it still happens.  How can I set the Ipad to only register true facetime calls rather than all inbound regular calls?  thanks

    My Ipad  will show all regular inbound calls, from Iphone, as Facetime calls.  I would like only TRUE facetime calls to appear. I have switched audio/video on Ipad but it still happens.  How can I set the Ipad to only register only true FT calls rather than all inbound calls that a re not facetime calls?  Yes, you may have to reread this twice and slowly to understand..... Thanks!

    Hi webn,
    I understand that you do not wish to see phone calls on your iPad anymore. I have an article for you with some information on accomplishing this goal:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone?

    Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone? I've restored my iPhone 4 thru iTunes and now trying to set it up using iCloud but it says 'no back ups available'.
    I was upgrading my OS system thru iTunes but the plug on my macbook came out and battery ran flat half way thru. This jammed my iPhone 4.
    I think it's to do with the OS system. That if i take it to the previous OS system it might work. But since i'm in phone set up mode i can't get into general setting to change it back.
    So can i set it up as a new phone and then use icloud to restore info? Or shld i set it up thru iTunes and then iCloud (but since it jammed half way thru upgrading and i've restored i don't think iTunes has any of my previous info)? Or is there something else i can do?

    No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it

  • Can i set  the same email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?

    I got an email account which is currently POP, it was setup on my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Since POP cannot sync the read email, every time i have to read them on three devices - MacBook, iPhone and iPad, or it shows loads of unread mails.
    I heard IMAP can solve this problem, but after set the email account up as IMAP, loads of my emails lost! Luckily most of those emails are restored from Time Machine. IMAP is too dangerous, so i changed back to POP.
    Now i'm still surffering from read emails three times, i wonder anyway to fix this problem? can i set the email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?
    Many thanks,
    X

    Normally, at least all smartphones I've used, do not delete things from the server. The Email programs on phones know enough not to delete emails you delete on the phone from the email server so you can still get them on your computer. I personally don't need or want all my emails on my phone. It is good to check emails and reply it ones that need a reply right then but otherwise I want them on my computers. Using IMAP on phone/pad may not act the same as POP and may interact with the server differently, deleting email I don't want on my phone from the server.
    I do have one IMAP email address on my phone, Google with Google Mail. All others access the servers with POP.

  • I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?

    I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?

    Yeah, I did. But if I go to settings and change the standard ring tone again, the ring tone for that special contact is still the old standard tone. But I want to 'tell' my iPhone/iPad that this contact should always have the standard ringtone from settings.

  • How can I make the iPhone beep every hour ?

    How can I make the iPhone beep every hour ?
    Just a beep not an alarm (alarms require an acknowledgement)

    I wanted this function as well and I just downloaded "BBClendar Free" and it works perfectly for this, better than an inexpensive digital watch!
    Just go to the Advanced section, enable the hourly beep and even set which hours (mine is 8 AM - 10 PM) and what minute of each hour it beeps on. Just be sure to leave the program open when you go on standby or it won't beep.
    As the App's description says, "Hourly Beep helps you to take a moment to rest in a busy day for every hour."
    Enjoy!

    Thanks but this is not what I am looking for.  I am looking for the settings - setting that allows our iphone to auto sync with your mac book when you make a puchase on either device.
    You aren't going to sync with my MacBook when I make a purchase.
    And you are not going to autosync your iPod with the MacBook unless you tell it to sync or plug it in.
    You can enable Automatic downloads when you make a purchase.
    iTunes settings > Store.
    When you make a purchase, it will automatically download that purchase to devices set up the same way.
    This is not the same as autosyncing your device to your computer (as you first asked).

  • Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

  • My iphone is locked by icloud i can´t use the iphone

    my iphone is locked by icloud i can´t use the iphone

    If this is your iPhone and you set the Apple ID and password, you can releae the iPhone by logging in to your iCloud account from a computer or another device with the Find My app installed, click Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from the devices list.
    You can then restore the iPhone using the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an ipad registered in my name.  How can I change the iphone to my name and sync both devices.

    My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an Ipad registered in my name.  How can I change the Iphone from his apple id to my name and sync both devices.

    You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account. 
    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account.  If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account.  You can then turn on Mail to create the new account.  Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).
