How can I avoid syncing network preferences between iPhone and iMac (mini) ?

In my current setup, my iMac mini and iPhone synchronise the WIFI networks that I joined on my Phone. I would like to turn this feature off. I want my iMac to always connect to the same network. I would like to keep using the other iCloud services though (Mail, Calendar, Etc...)
Can anyone point me to the settings or configuration steps to either fix the wifi network on an iMAc or to switch this feature off in iCloud?
Background:
I run Yosemite 10.10.1 on an iMac mini and IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5S
What I tried:
Manually removed the irrelevant networks from the wifi list under System Preferences... | Network | Advanced...
Did not work, Networks got included in the list again once I join them on my iPhone.

Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.
You cannot simply create a Wi-Fi connection between your computer and your iPhone, you must have a Wi-Fi router or access point to connect to.

  • How do i get a wifi connection between iphone and iMac?

    I downloaded the app "CityMaps2Go". Some of the maps I need are bigger than 20MB and Apple doesn't allow to download that amount over a regular 3G telephone connection. "CityMaps2Go" is asking me to connect via Wifi to download bigger maps. But I have no Wifi right now here at home available. My iMac runs with DSL6000 from Deutsche Telekom (High Speed Internet). Even tough my router has WLAN available, it is not konfigured for Apple hardware (I guess, never worked) But the Internet connection for my iMac is very fast, so no problem there. Here my question: While my iMac is online and connected, can I somehow connect my iphone via wifi to my iMac, so I can download those bigger maps from "CityMaps2Go"??? Thank you!

    Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.

    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • How to sync mailboxes / folders between iPhone and iPad

    How does one sync email folders between iPhone and iPad ?

    Hi Doc,
    I have just been on the phone to Apple for over 2 hours ! Both devices were already on IMAP . It turned out that one particular folder was a rogue and did not sync between desktop, iPhone and iPad. I created a new folder dragged every email into it from my desk top , deleted the original folder and all emails in that folder are now synched. Even Apple was baffled but the problem is now resolved so thank you for your assistance .
    Regards,
    Salmon Man

  • How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer ?

    How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer/ will be deleted on the server ?

    For that kind of connectivity you need to be using an email account configured either as IMAP or Exchange.
    IMAP & Exchange accounts will maintain a sync across all your devices, so if you read / delete a message on your phone, it will disappear from the server as well. This cannot happen in POP email accounts.
    If your using gmail, instructions on how to set up exchange / imap are here http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
    Alternatively, if its anything other than Google, you will need to contact your email providor or IT department (if your email address resides with an enterprise environment) to get the correct settings.
    Hope this helps!

    how can I syncronize the anniversary calendars of iphone and iPad2?

    If you are syncing your iPad calendar with a supported program on your computer using iTunes you can use iTunes to sync it to your phone too.  Otherwise, if you are running iOS 5 or higher on your iPad you can sync your calendar to your phone using iCloud.

  • How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time?

    How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time so I don't have to do it separately on each device?

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.
