Determine which wifi network to use as default

How can I tell my ipad2 which available wifi network to use as the default?

I don't see that model number. Are you sure it's correct? If it is, it might not be a US model. This site only supports the US region.

When I am on my home wifi I can send e-mail. When I am not on my home e-mail but on a wifi network or using the 3g network I cannot send e-mail. HELP HOW TO FIX.

When I am on my home wifi I can send e-mail. When I am not on my home e-mail but on a wifi network or using the 3g network I cannot send e-mail. HELP HOW TO FIX.

I know this question is a few years old now, but I recently found myself having the exact same issues;
Using my iphone or ipad at home created no problems at all, but I couldn't send e mails when away from my home network.
I recently switched broadband supplier at home and set up a new e mail address, then my problems began!
I openly admit I'm not great with technology and, to be honest, some of the answers provided on these forums confuse me more than the questions!
But this worked for me:
I went along the lines that the fault wasn't with my idevice but possibly with the broadband provider (in my case Plusnet) so I contacted their customer support.
They referred me to the set up process shown below;
From your home screen press Settings.
From the setting menu, choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars followed by Add Account…
From the Add Account… menu choose Other.
Fill in your Full Name, Email Address, Password and Description and press Next.If you need help with these, there's more detail underneath the screenshot.
Full name: Enter your name (or the name you'd like people to see when you send them email)
Email Address: Enter the address you're setting up, this could be a Plusnet address ([email protected]) or a hosted domain address ([email protected])
Password: Enter the password for your email address (I don't know what this is)
Description: Enter a useful description of the email address you're setting up (e.g. Mum's email). You can put whatever you want here
Press Next to continue.
More settings will appear. Some will already be filled in.Enter the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server details and press Next. If you need help with these, there's more detail underneath the screenshot.
IMAP/POP This will default to IMAP - it's up to you which one you want to use (I don't know what to choose)
Incoming Mail Server settings
Host Name: For IMAP this is imap.plus.net - for POP, this is mail.plus.net
User Name & Password: Enter the username and password for the email address you're setting up (I don't know what these are)
Outgoing Mail Server settings
Host Name: relay.plus.net
User Name & Password: These are optional, but if you want to send mail while on the move (e.g. while connected to mobile or wireless networks), we recommend filling these in.Enter the username and password for the email address you're setting up (I don't know what these are)
When you're finished, press Next.
If the box shown below appears, press Yes (you may need to do this twice).
After a minute or two, your email address will be set up and ready to use.If you chose IMAP when setting up you’ll be able to choose whether you want to use Notes (if you chose POP you’ll be taken back to the settings screen from step 2). Press Save when you’re done.
That's all you need to do. To start checking your email, go back to your home screen and press Mail.
Now I fully understand that it may be different for each broadband provider but the processes must be similar.
The key appears to be in setting up the outgoing message server settings in step 5. Where it says "optional, but if you want to send mail while on the move (e.g. while connected to mobile or wireless networks), we recommend filling these in.
http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/ios-setup.shtml#pagetop
Where it says "we recommend" I think it should read "you must fill these in"
I went back to Settings - Mail,Contacts, Calenders - click on the offending account and click on the account shown.
Under OUTGOING MAIL SERVER click on the server, in my case relay.plus.net, and click again to show the details. make sure you enter your user name and password and after a few seconds the account will verify and show a load of ticks.
I tried this on my phone this morning while on 3G only. I sent an email to another of my addresses and immediately got the response that the message couldn't be sent as the recipient was rejected and the message had been placed in my Outbox. I followed the above steps and immediately heard the satisfying "whoosh" as my mail was sent. 10 seconds later another satisying beep as my e mail arrived at my alternate account.
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.

Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
So I really have 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Home Wifi Network Issue using Airport and 2 BT Hub...

I'm having problems getting my home network set up without IP conflicts. Any advice much appreciated...
Here's what I've currently got:
BT Broadband Unlimted
Hub 2.0 connected to broadband line - wireless network switched off
Apple Airport Time Capsule connected to Hub 2.0 by WAN cable (Airport running in Bridge mode)
Various Apple devices (MBP, iMac, iPhones, iPads, iPod), PS3 and Sony Surround Sound connected to Airport with wifi.
Wifi extender connected to Airport by wifi (obviously) for upstairs - PS3 and occassionally MBP connected to that)
Ethernet cable from Airport to a Hub 1.5 in the Garden Office with MBP and HP Printer then connected to Hub 1.5 with wifi.
HDD connected to Airport with USB cable.
Everything was working fine until I ran the ethernet cable to the office and connected the Hub 1.5. It worked fine in the office, wifi connected, I could see the internet and the Airport and the connected HDD.
However, at this point, the iMac back in the house, which connects to the Airport wifi network, sometimes connects to the internet, sometimes doesn't. It connected to the Wifi fine, just won't connect to the Internet. It was stopping at the Hub2.0 "Default Gateway" (according to traceroute). Switching wifi networks on the iMac (e.g. Airport 2.5Ghz to Airport 5GHz, or Airport to FON or Airport to the Office Wifi) fixes the internet connection problem, until next time I try to connect.
This only affects the iMac. The MBPs, iPhones etc have no problems connecting to wither wifi or the Internet...
I figured it must be an IP addressing problem due to the Hub1.5 conflicting with the IP address range configured for the Hub2.0, so I tried to re-configure this on the Hub1.5 in the Office.
However, to get to the Hub Manager, I had to disconnect the Ehternet cable (otherwise it just went to the Hub2.0 Hub Manager). Once I did this and reset the Hub1.5 to factory settings, I could see the Hub1.5 Manager. However, if I click on Advanced and enter the password (after restting it with the SN) I can't see any of the advances menu options in the left hand panel (e.g. IP Addresses). So I can't change the IP address range.
Any ideas how I can get to see the IP Address options on the Hub1.5?
I also tried setting a static IP address on the iMAC, but it won't let me - just says IP address already in use when I try to change it to one in the range set on the Hub2.
Worse thing is, now that I've reset the Hub1.5, the Internet connection keeps dropping on that as well now. It works fine for a few minutes then drops and I have to turn wifi off and on again, or disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable to get the Internet to connect again, then it drops after a few minutes.
So, I've gone from the iMac not working to the iMac and the office hub1.5 not working properly, and all I've really done is reset the hub1.5 to factory settings...
Shall I just get rid of the 1.5 and buy a different wifi router for the office?
Should I be able to change the IP address range on the 1.5?
Any other ideas?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried running the TC not in bridge mode?
In airport utility, instead of selecting bridge mode, select share a public ip address. You will get an advisory warning from the TC but just opt to ignore it.
This way all of the DHCP is handled by the TC and the HH1.5 and none by the HH2.
Otherwise a replacement for the HH1.5 might be called for - perhaps and airport extreme.

Can't Open Some App using home wifi network, must use 3g to do it

My iPhone is 5s. Just like the title said, whenever my iPhone / iPad connected to wifi I can't connect to some games like Puzzle and Dragon even though I can browse using safari, using fb / twitter / instagram just fine. I keep getting connection error (in game of course) whenever I open that game (not only that game actually). Whenever I open the game, I can get myself automatically logged into gamecenter, but the can't connect to the game itself.
I've tried changing the dns from the default 192.168.1.1 to google's and resetting the cache (airplane mode -> on -> off). But to no avail.
Have tried to open the game on my father's iPhone and iPad, and my sister iPhone too. I suspect my problem is my wifi configuration isn't compatible to ios(?).
Sometimes I experience updating app problem too on home wifi network, I can browse app store but can't update any app.
While my phone can't, my friend's android can play the game just fine using my home's wifi network.
Please help me fix this.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

Wifi network printing using Canon Pixma MP600R

Hi, we've just bought the MP600R printer to use as a wifi network printer for three macs. An emac, an ibook and a macbook. All the computers are running different versions of the Mac OS from 10.3 through to Leopard (housekeeping!)
Anyway we've read all the troubles with Leopard so are prepared for the problems but the other probem we've encountered is that the first computer connected perfectly well (it has a 10 x 4 operating system) but since then none of the others will communicate with the printer.
Is this something to do with registering mac address with the printer? Has anyone set up more than one mac attached to the MP600R before? Any suggestions gratefully received. Life is too short to be this puzzled. best Livia

Hello Livia,
I have an MP600R that is being connected to wirelessly via 10.4, 10.5 and XP.
The first step with the configuration is choosing the wireless network the MP600R will connect to. The second step is setting the ip address; either static - which means you enter the numbers, or dynamic -which means the wireless router sets the address. Both of these functions have to be done when the printer is connected to the computers USB port.
Once the printer is connected to the wireless network, then on the Mac's you use the More Printers > Canon IJ Network setting to find the printer and print to it. When you browse the printer will be displayed with its MAC address in brackets.
For those that are not able to connect to the printer, you may find that they are using different ip address to the Tiger Mac and MP600R. Check your network settings on all machines to ensure they are using the same address subnet (typically the first three sets of numbers in the address).
If the addresses are on the same subnet, then there may be something wrong with the driver software. When you go to add the printer, do you see the MP600R after selecting More Printers > Canon IJ Network?

How to determine which configuration is being used within a page/view?.

If I click on the little cog icon to take me into the AET for a given assignment block, how do I know which configuration is being used?. Usually one is highlighted, but the case of the Accounts main address assignment block these details are not shown. As there probably 30 of them I though there must be a quick way to determine which is being used from within the view/page.
Anyone
Jas

Hi Jason, (great performance at the Transporter, but go easy on the steroids )
There are 2 ways to know that:
1. put your focus (not in the configuration mode) on one of the fields that are on the block. then press F2. Here you get a popup where there is the configuration searched for and the configuration found.
2. Within the configuration, when there is no configuration with the configuration key linked to your business role present, the system takes the <DEFAULT> one. there should at least one be highlighted, otherwise you get a dump NO_CONFIG_FOUND.
When you just press the copy button on the configurations tab, you get your configuration defaulted, this being, the configuration key linked to your business role + the search for component, usage, and subcomponent. here you see what was searched for.
Hopefully this helps you out a bit.
KR,
Micha

This message was given when trying to update an app I already had installed on the phone. My question is why? Is this a problem with the programming making you connect to the internet via link or Wi-Fi. Or is this a limitation on the Verizon network? Or perhaps a limitation set in place by Apple to prevent long downloads? So I came here hoping to get some hard cold facts. (since Verizon associates would not or simply could not help me)
Personally I could care less if it took 6 hours to download an update. I do however have a problem paying a telephone service an insane rate to get "unlimited data" and not being able to receive unlimited data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I pay per gigabyte, so dont need these restrictions Apple! Its mine to use.

SharePoint Databases - How to determine which ones are being used and which ones aren't

I am not sure where to exactly post this question. On the SQL Server side or on a SharePoint side.
I am a SQL Server Database Administrator who is monitoring some SharePoint databases. On a daily basis it seems that they are creating new databases but don't delete the databases that they are no longer using. For example, they might be testing
on a development server and if things aren't working properly instead of asking that the databases be deleted they just go ahead and create new databases to do what ever they need to do. Is there a way on the SQL Server side to determine which SharePoint
databases are being used and which ones aren't being used? Or does one determine this information through the SharePoint Central Administration console?
lcerni

Hello,
The following query gives you the databases now in use.
SELECT
DISTINCT d.name
FROM
sys.dm_tran_locks
tl INNER
JOIN sys.databases
d
ON
tl.resource_database_id
= d.database_id
Hope this helps.

Lost list of my wifi networks after using migration assistant / time machine

After using migration assistant / time machine to set up my new Mac I now miss the list of stored preferred Wlan/WiFi networks. So the passwords of wireless networks I. Used in the past are all gone.
Why is time machine not putting those on my new Mac as it does with many other settings?
How can I manually grab this list from my old Mac and out it on the new machine?
Will I find that time machine missed some other lists and settings as well?
Thanks for help.

I've been working through this procedure this week. It's pretty good, and when it works it appears to work quite well, but there's still some bumps in the road:
(1) Once you've migrated, Time Machine itself seems to be a little confused and future backups may fail. You might have to start again by changing to a new Time Machine disk on your new laptop. You may lose your older backups, it's not yet clear to me.
(2) You can't restore from a previous backup during the migration, only the most recent one. (You can restore from an older backup using tools on the install CD if you need to.) I suspect this won't be an issue for you.
(3) Migration Assistant once you've logged in a Migration Assistant while you're starting up a new machine seem to work slightly differently. For example, sometimes the newest copy of the applications in your Applications folder (say, iMovie) is preserved, sometimes it makes an exact restore of the old Applications folder even if it's an older version of the application.
Overall it's been a pretty good experience, and what you want to do does work, but be prepared for the possibility of some issues. I tried this back in 10.5.0 a few months ago and had a lot of problems, things seem better now under 10.5.2.

Determining Which Transaction Launcher is used

Hi,
      I have a requirement to change a Standard Transaction Launcher. My question is how do I determine which Transaction launcher is being used?
     If you go to the following menu path: SPRO --> Customer Relationship Management -->UI Framework --> Technical Role Definition --> Transaction Launcher --> Copy/ Delete Launch Transactions, you will see many standard Transaction Launchers already defined. See screen shot below:
   The question is this: I am at the Standard order screen in SAP CRM CIC. There are numerous hyperlinks at the "Transaction History" tab that launch various Transaction Launchers (launching different Transactions-parameters), how do I determine which Transaction Launcher is being used for each hyperlink?
      See the screen shot below of the Transaction Launcher (hyperlinks). I need to find the Transaction Launcher that is used in these hyperlinks (I know it is not the same Transaction Launcher for all because each launches a different transaction in ECC). How do I do this?
   Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello,
Go to class CL_UICMP_LT_ABOXEXECUTION_IMPL, put debuger in method IP_INBOUNDPLUG( )
once the transaction launchr is executed me->handler will give the information you want.
GV_ID indicate the LTX id. Hope it helps,
