Can i stop airport from searching for additional networks after connecting to a network

Airport keeps searching for additional networks after connecting to my wireless router.  Can I stop this?  does this effect system performance?

No, it doesn't affect performance. And, it only occurs prior to connection to the desired network or when you click on the menubar icon for Airport.

  • Photos tells me it is connecting to Library for shared photos. It's been saying this for about ten hours. I can't stop it from searching or get it to do anything else. I can go back to my photos but I can't get Photos to find the shared items.

    Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
    Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

    Did you check the network setting?
    Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

  • How to stop Mail from searching for sender's image?

    When I'm going through messages in Mail, it won't display the message in the preview pane for several seconds until it completes the "Searching for sender's image" process. I have a large address book with several thousand entries. Is there a way to prevent Mail from searching for the contact's image in the Address Book? This wasn't an issue in 10.4.11.
    Here's a screenshot:

    The iPhone data plans are unlimited, so you shouldnt be concerned about cost. That being said, it is ANNOYING to have all accounts (I have six) check email just because I launch the mail app. And if I follow a URL in an email to Safari, then come back to Mail, it checks AGAIN.
    Nope, there is not way to stop if from doing that short of turning the account OFF under Mail Settings, which is even MORE inconvenient. I went to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and left them a message. Perhaps you should do the same.

  • IPhoto 4.0.3- can't stop it from opening for iPhone

    (I know, I should upgrade iPhoto, but for now...)
    When I connect iPhone, I don't want iPhoto to open. When I go under Preferences in iPhoto, there is no tab to change "Connecting Camera Opens:"
    Also, my computer does not have "Image Capture" so I cannot change settings there.
    Does anyone know where else to look for settings so I can make it so iPhoto does not open when I connect iPhone?

    Okay So I understand that iPhone do not support MMS as of yet ,which really does'nt sit well with us since for $599 not being able to send a simple picture message is really unacceptable. Secondly, what about sms forwarding? any basic cell phone has that feature except iPhone.I cannot forward any of my texts or send mass texts which really annoys me and my friends.also ,we have a 2 megapixel camera that does not allow us to make a video!!! so basically no pic msg capability, no text msg forwarding capability and no video capture! Now the best part, I cant even download ringer's ???? Games etc??? I mean come on we paid$600 EXPECTING ATLEAST THE BASIC FEATURE'S OF A CELL PHONE ,ANY CELL PHONE YOU KNOW ! atleast tell me that we will be able to upgrade or Apple is going to launch softwares that will allow us to atleast download ringers.

  • How can I stop it from looking for files?

    When I start iMovie, I seem to get stuck in a loop where it is looking for old files I have deleted. I don't have space on my harddrive to keep all my movie files, so once I have finished a project, I just get rid of everything. The problem is, when I start up iMovie again, it keeps looking for the files and I get "The Movie file "xxx-xxxx" cannot be found. Without this file the movie cannot play properly." I click cancel, but the error keeps repeating. How can I get out of this loop?

    How can I get out of this loop?
    Try deleting iMovie's preference file. This can be found in your user folder Library>Preferences. The file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Close iMovie before trashing the file. When next opened iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference.
    It's best to delete files from within iMovie - not externally using the Finder. But, rather than delete them, why not store your Events on an external drive - you may need to use some clips in another project later. Project files are quite small as they contain only text references to the various items (assets) that comprise your project - therefore there is little point in deleting them. Also, check out the "Consolidate Media" function in iMovie, which lets you move/copy everything associated with a project (including Events, music etc) to another location.

  • How can I stop iTunes from dropping my iPhone 5 when connected with USB cable?  It sees it and start a backup and then it drops and tells me cannot find phone.

    My HP notebook 64 bit Windows 8 after the last iTunes update will detect my iPhone 5, sync and when finished with thy sync I start a backup to my computer.  It runs fine for a bit and then gives me message I have changed settings on my iPhone 5 and asked me if I want to update.  I OK the question and runs a bit more and then drops the connection telling me cant find my iPhone 5.  I can restart iTunes and start over and does the same thing.
    ITunes update 11.1.1.62 had difficulties with the updates on 64 bit Windows 7 and 8.1 causing an error on boot other trouble.  I found solution on research that insturcted to Remove iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Support and Apple Update and reload iTunes old version.  I simply reloaded the new version becasue did not have the old version of iTunes.  I have been working fine with the old version.  I know problem is a simple setting somewhere but it is NOT SIMPLE to me since I dont know where the find the simple setting.
    Will someone tell what to do.  I appreciate all you smart guys.

    My apologies...the version is 11.1.4.62 not as stated aboive in my problem description.  I'm trying again and it just finished syncing fine and my iPhone 5 is still connected to iTuns physcially with USB lightening cable and is displaying the iPhone icon top right.  I clicked on it and iTunes is now "hung' or  locked up.  Shows to be an active running application but can't get back to it so willl have to kill with task manager.  There is some kind of problem going on with the latest version of iTunes and Wndows 7 and 8.1 or something.  My iPhone 5 now has a new feature that it is now asking me if I "Trust" this computer.  iTunes just came "unhung" after several minutes while I was typing this. Now I am going to start the backup to this computer HP Winsows 8.1 and iTune 11.1.4.62 and see what happens.  Says it is Backing up Jerrys iPhone but the Barber Pole progress bar is not turning an iTunes is hung again and I cant get back to it from this page I am typing on.  Maybe it will eventually release as it did a moment ago. 

  • How can I stop iPhoto from automatically launching when iPads are connected to my MacBook Pro?

    We currently have 20 iPads (2 different models) and we are using Configurator. Everytime we connect our ipads (via two usbs from our sync and charge trolley) iPhoto launches. Why does this happen and how do I stop it?

    never mind - all fixed!

  • How can I stop iPad from starting the music app after ending a phone call when using Bluetooth headphones?

    music app automatically starts after using Bluetooth headphones during a phone call

    If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck.  The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it. 
    iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

  • How can I STOP ical from deleting all my events after a month or so

    No matter how I set the preferences/settings it always keeps deleting all events after 30 to 40 days.
    I have gone into preferences and checked off the
    "DELETE EVENTS AFTER...
    and put 99 or 999 days and it doens make a difference
    If Ileave the box unchecked - it STILL doesn't make difference
    Anyone has a suggestion?
    as I keep loosing all the important info/phone numbers I enter.
    Thanks
    Bruno

    Bruno,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are you using any sync software?
    The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

    You can use junk mail filters but setting the criteria can be a problem.

  • How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

    How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

    You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.

    Since today, my iCal is popping up as an opened application for no reason and I've had, up to now, to quit it 3 times. It's really annoying. I don't even use iCal anymore since I have BusyCal, which is a better version of iCal, but a totally different application.
    How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason like that. Please, anyone, help me.

    What exactly is triggering this, are you clicking on some kind of file?
