Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?

Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?
On my home network the wi-fi connection happens automatically without opening Safari. But on my work network, when attempting to make a connection the iPad lets me enter my user name and password, but then tries to open the webpage www.apple.com, which is blocked by iPrism as entertainment, so I can't actually connect to that network. oes anyone know a fix for this problem?

How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
Can anyone help please?

Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.

How can I stop Safari from opening new windows unless I want them?

Since Safari 5.02, there is no box to check in the General Preferences to stop Safari from opening a new window when I click on a link. My expectation is to only go to a new window when I want to do it. Most of my searches go down a rabbit hole and I just want to go backwards without closing page after new open page (Same problem with Tabs. I don't want new Tabs all the time either. In fact, the only time I really care about multiple open Tabs or Windows is when I need more than one Window open for data comparison or something like that...)
This is an incredibly annoying new behavior of Safari that I want to shut off. I have 20 windows open in the Window list right now. (I regularly shut off Safari to clear up all the useless abandoned windows.) Firefox doesn't do this, but I prefer Safari.
I tried to search this one, but maybe am not framing the question properly. See lots of discussion of forcing new tabs, but that is not what I am looking for....Can anyone help me?

Thanks Baltwo,
I will try it, but I don't want new pages in tabs either. I simply don't want the link to open in a new page or tab unless I ask for one. My initial trial has google links opening in new tabs. Why can't I just go down the paths on the same page like the old days? Especially after I find what I want, I will go somewhere else.
With your recommendation, I think that instead of pages open, I will have an abundance of tabs?
Guess I am getting inflexible in my old age. If this is the only option, it is an "improvement" that I don't like yet.
Firefox doesn't do it.

How can I stop safari from showing my old entries in a drop down menu?

I want to make it clear that I am not talking about the url bar. I am refering to suggestions within a webpage where stuff is entered (for example online homeowork for college students). I cannot seem to figure out how to stop safari from filling in my old entries.
How can I get rid of this box?

Have you checked the Safari Preferences > AutoFill settings? The Other forms setting is described as follows:
Let Safari save information you enter on webpage forms, then automatically fill in the saved information when you revisit the same webpages. To view or edit your saved information, click Edit.

How can I stop iCal from trying to connect to the server during corrections?

Recently, my iCal lost the connection to my gmail calendar (and my wife's), and as I was trying to fix it (by replacing the @ in the server address with a &40-something), it turned out that iCal started trying to connect again - but this time it had lost the proper password.
Now, it says something like "Server connection error: make sure you have the right password" - and then I'm supposed to click OK. When I do that, iCal immediately starts trying to reconnect, and I simply didn't have time to change my password or anything. Back to square one.
I figured I should reboot, but the iMac won't let me shut down before I've shut down iCal, which again can't be done before the "Server connection.."-dialog is closed. Back to square one.
My system is OS X 10.6.7, on a 2011 iMac.

Quit iCal from the dock. To do this, click and hold on the iCal icon (in the dock), and select Quit from the pop-up menu and release the click to Quit the app.
If that fails, then click on the icon in the dock again (and while still holding the click on the icon ) press the Option key, and select Force Quit from the pop-up and release to Force Quit the app.
I'd go after the iCal server setting via the iCal > Preferences > Accounts panel, if that's not what you're trying here.
And if that fails, then reboot (probably unnecessary, but...), disconnect from the WiFi, launch iCal, and clean up the configuration error that way. iCal should get a different error on a network disconnect, and should then let you access the preferences.
The AppleScript category? Eh?

How can I stop ITunes from starting up on the Radio tab?

Hi, at my workplace web radio sites are restricted. I like to connect my phone to the computer to charge and to listen to my playlists through the computer's speakers. It also gives me the ability to control the volume and tracks with my keyboard or on my desktop without having to reach for my phone all the time.
So, when I am connected to the network and try to open ITunes it immediately crashes and I think it is because the Radio tab is activated on startup. If I disconnect from the network and open ITunes it works fine. I can then choose the Songs tab and reconnect to the network. Is there a way to disable the radio tab or have it start on another tab?
Thanks!

How can I stop iTunes from launching when I hit the button on my head phones

On my MBP I have some head phones that have an inline mic with call answer button. The button on the head phones is fairly sensitive and I tend to bump it on accident often. When I hit the button iTunes is launched or if I have it open it starts music.
Is there anyway to stop this from happening? This is driving me crazy!

This problem has been an issue for a number of months and has led to frustration and public humiliation on countless occasions.
When disconnecting from my Bose Soundlink at home (playing nothing) in order to taking my laptop on the run I open my laptop to find that the entire contents of my iTunes playlist is being belted in public. The subway, the library, my classroom is not the time or place for my laptop to make the decision to begin playing my music without permission. When at home and my Soundlink goes on standby I have nearly had a heart attack when my laptop spontaneously begins blaring my music when I wasn't even touching the thing.
I love my Soundlink and I love my Mac but together the devices are causing no end of aggravation with no fix in sight. With each OS update I hope the problem is addressed but to no avail, it is getting tiresome that such a flaw isn't being fixed in a timely manner.

HELP - How to stop audio from starting when captivate loads

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to stop my audio files attached to objects (images) from playing when captivate initially loads. I have a number of images with audio and when captivate initially loads all of the audios play at once which isn't good. I only want the audio associated with the object to play when the user clicks the item.
I've been researching for days and can't find an answer. Am I doing something wrong, or am I overlooking something.?
Could someone PLEASE help me with this or at least put me in the right direction. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!
Jasmin

To achieve that you have to separate the audio from the image. The principle I explained in this article http://lilybiri.posterous.com/audio-objects-control-them
The audio will play when the object to which it is attached gets visible. If you attach the audio to another object like a non-visible highlight box (that is my 'audio object' but you can use also a non-visible drawing object), you can set this 'audio object' to invisible in its Properties panel. When the user clicks on the click box, execute the action 'Show audio object' and the audio will play. I would even recommend using advanced standard actions over a simple action because you will be able to hide the other audio objects at the same time, and the play head will not be released - see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nKi-DB6Fw&feature=plcp
You have to know that hiding an audio object, will pause the audio. If you show it again, it will continue playing, not restart.

Can't prevent iTunes from starting when I connect my iPhone

I primarily connect my iPhone 4 to an iMac at home, on which pretty much all of my content is stored. It's set up to sync wirelessly. Until recently, I synced my calendar and contact data to Outlook on my work computer, which is a PC running Windows XP. We recently switched to an Exchange server for calendars and contacts, and my backups sync to the cloud, so I don't need to sync anything at work anymore. I still connect the phone to the computer to charge it and to upload (not sync) photos, but there's no reason to run iTunes, so I unchecked the "Open iTunes when this phone is connected option".
The problem is that when I connect the phone, it still starts iTunes and goes through a "sync". I have nothing selected to sync, but it copies "Safari safe browsing data", whatever that is. When I look, the "Open iTunes ...." box is again checked. If I uncheck it again, the same thing happens again.
My computer's a bit underpowered, so starting a process I don't want to is kind of annoying, and I'd like to stop this.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Finally figured this out. I had assumed that the "start iTunes" option was separate for each computer, but apparently, it's a single option. I had accidentally left it on at home, and since it syncs via WiFi every time I connect it to a charger, this always overwrote what I did at work. Once I turned it off at home, it stayed off in both places.

Stop outlook from starting when clicking links in safari

In the past I used to work with Outlook for Mac (my former company worked with Outlook).
For a couple of years I switched to working with the Mac Agenda, Mail, Contacts, etcetera.
But whenever there is a link in Safari for opening an agenda, or a contact, it is Outlook that is being opened and not the native Mac programs.
How can I change these setting, I've looked but am not able to find this option.
I've got Outlook still on my Macbook because I have to maintain a backup of the email of the former company.
Outlook is set to not be the standard for Mail, Agenda, etcetera so this is not the solution (unfortunately...).
My laptop is up to date, so I'm using all the latest software versions, except for Outlook (this is the 2011 version).
Thanks in advance for the help.
Pascal

Try this:
Open MS Office Outlook 2011 for Mac >> Preferences >> General tab >> uncheck Set Outlook as default program for email, contacts and calendar.
