Choice: Auto connect to unknown WiFi -or-Get unwanted messages every time
Here's what I would like to happen (iPhone OS 4):
1) Connect to my home & known wifi networks automatically (this happens)
2) DON'T connect to any other networks unless I go to Settings > Wifi and choose one I want (this isn't an option)
3) DON'T keep telling me about every goddam network in the street every time I get my phone out to use email / safari.
I know I can prevent the available network messages by having "Ask to join networks" off - but then I'm joining every unsecured network in town as I walk around - this is insane. I don't want to be opening up my email and password to snoopers on every unsecured network in town as I travel around. I want to use my cellular network providers data - that's what I'm paying them for.
But when I'm at home I want to automatically join my home wifi network. The rest of the time, don't keep hassling me about every network in the street. Don't join unsecured networks without me even knowing about it. Godammn bonkers.
The only way around this is to turn off wifi every time I leave the house. This is bonkers.

Not correct. I had a meeting for several hours in a hotel recently and when I went to use my phone I noticed that it had connected to the hotel Wifi network (which was unsecured). As my mail checks every 15 mins that means it was being downloaded on their network, which not what I want. Could this happen in an area with poor cellular connection / no service? There was some service when I went to use my phone but maybe it was a weak signal and had disconnected whilst I wasn't using it?
I've never been to the hotel before and didn't have an iPhone the last time I was in that town, so I've definitedly never logged onto that network and it wasn't a generic SSID - it was the hotel name and I've never logged onto another SSID with that hotel name.
That is when I switched "ask to join networks" on and hence the irritating messages every time I unlock my phone and use safari / mail.
I think the current method needs to be reversed in approach so that I have to go to settings to join an unknown network manually (which I do once in a blue moon), rather than the iPhone telling me about every network in the vacinity every single time I go to use mail / safari. I'm quite fine using the cellular data connection, but I do want to automatically connect to my home Wifi.

I keep getting this message every time that i start my computer, but i can still connect to the Internet, and do whatever i could do with a working router and modem.
The server 192-----etc. at WRT54GS requires a user-name and password.
Warning: This server is requesting that your user-name and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
Then it asks for a user-name and password. What password!?!!!?!? WHAT USERNAME!??!??!?.......if anyone can help i would appreciate it.the router password is admin by default. Leave the username blank. But for this issue you may check the security setting of your internet options. Disable it from there.

missing files.. ( pictures) why am i getting this message every time i try to open a pic.. JUST downloaded PSE12@
Hi,
When you are looking at the small pictures in the organizer, you are seeing the thumbnails that were stored within the organizer catalog when you first imported them into the organizer. When you first imported the files, the organizer saved the location of that file and the pointer to the thumbnail. When you try to edit or print the image, the organizer can no longer find the image at the stored location - the file is missing.
You might like to read through this to see if it helps explain things to you

The changing drive letter is the most common cause when images are stored on an external drive.
I'm not sure what you mean about when you say "did not go back into categories like I had them on version 7".
If you updated to version 12 from version 7 on the same PC, there was no need to move any of the images so they should be in the same folders as before. The catalog should have been converted for you (if you allowed it) and so all your albums and tags should have been preserved.

Does anyone know what "video rendering error: -50" means? I am trying to back up a movie i made on iMovie and get that message every time, about 30 times... OSX10.9.2, iMovie 10.0.3, Toshiba externals 2TB etc
Hi Babowa and Apple:
Thanks for helping me. Here is my workflow:
I store any file that I save onto my external drives so that I don't fill up my main hard drive.....( I label each external hard drive by year + alpha, such as 14a, 14b etc.) Is that a problem? Any suggestions?
I know iMovie works from the main iMac HD and therefore needs to find the file that I want in the external drive, such as when I "import" a file from an external such as 14a into iMovie that has been previously downloaded onto the external 14a (I download all SD cards & tapes to externals)......and it sounds like you're saying that is causing iMovie problems because the file is not so easily accessible for iMovie?
I assume that iMovie processes the file that I have "imported" into an "iMovie Event" on my iMac HD. I label that version as say "NLGE 3000E" for my 3000th movie, Event version, "events" that is always rough.
After I have imported media as an event and have labeled an event, "NLGE 3000E," then I go to "new movie" that I assume is a "project".....and I label that version "NLGE 3000P1"...."P" for "project" and "1" for the first edition....also to help me keep track of where my movies go. I focus on "Projects" then when editing ...and watch which edition I am editing and which edition appears where.
I learned that I need to "share" all movies from "Projects" to save......and store my final versions on my external drive, 14a (eg) so that I am sure that I have a retrievable copy. I try to share to YouTube from iMovie and succeeded 1/10 tries.
Evidently a movie is not saved unless it is in "theater"?
Please see next "reply" for other comments about retrieval.
Thanks. -

I am really angry that I get this message every time I try to update Itunes.
“The File ‘C:/documents and settings\DEAN\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\itunes.msi’ is not a valid installation package for the product itunes. Try to find the installation package ‘itunes.msi’ in a folder from which you can install itunes.
What kind of gobbledegook is that? Are you or Microsoft crazy. Us computer users need simpler instructions. Or you need to write your programs so that they work.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

Microsoft word is not responding. I get this message every time I try to close a Word document or do some other functions such as change margins or print. I just get the twirling ball. I'm using OSX on a imac. What do to?
Bummer! The only way I have ever been able to get rid of the dreaded twirling ball was to reboot....with the exception of one time only, when it actually was some super techie issue that was only resolved when they looked at it and did their magic.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help! -
About two weeks ago I started getting this error message every time I started up Firefox: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName("id")[0].firstChild is null - 2.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the error continues. Then I did a System restore to several months ago, but the error continues. It doesn't happen with any other program.
Does anyone know how to get rid of it. If it has anything to do with the registry, I'll just have to let it be and switch to a different browser.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Three days ago, my iPhone 4 started sporadically displaying this message when I plugged my authentic apple iPhone charger in: "This accessory may not be supported." I was dismissing it, until my battery was nearly dead and I finally realized that when the message would come up the charging would stop.
Somehow, last night, I got it to begin charging on my Macbook and although it stopped a few times, got it back to 95%.
Now, it happens every time I plug it in to charge and it WILL NOT charge.
Details:
I am using genuine apple chargers. The one that came with my iPhone and the one that came with my iPad.
I am using outlets that work.
I have tried charging on my Macbook and receive the same message.
I am on IOS 7.1.1
The battery seems to be draining faster than usual.
It seems like when the battery gets low enough (<5%), it will charge again, at least a little bit, without the message popping up?
I tried to make a genius bar appt. but the next one isn't until next Tuesday! Eek. I cannot afford a new phone right now, and I am really hoping there is a way to fix this. If there is anything I can do at home to isolate the problem, or reduce what could end up costing a lot I would greatly appreciate your help.hi, try all what these guys say, as they make sense (my bet is on a slug of kebab guys ).
you list bits you have tried but don't say if you have tried a new lead?
i'm not being tricky, as an electronics engineer of some 40+ years who repairs consuls, iPhones, iPads etc. i have some experience of what gets overlooked. Some of the cheap after market leads aren't the best quality,and some darn right lethal, likely to catch fire while your asleep. you might have bought of them.
i find it tends only genuine Apple leads lock in, but there might be fakes of them to. either way worth a go. perhaps se if your family or mates have one.

every time i start my computer says update 3.6.12 ready to install. no matter how many time i have clicked install i get a message -- partail update not be applied. i all ready have 3.6.12 and cant get the thing to stop
It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
If a reboot is needed then that usually means that some (security) software is blocking files or you need elevated Administrator permissions.<br />
Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as ... : Administrator).
If that still causes the same problem then remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install. You need to download a fresh copy of the full version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html -
