How can I identify and block unwanted tethering apps?

AT&T has notified us that my wife has been tethering using her 5s...only she hasn't. Not intentionally, anyway. A call to AT&T revealed that there are thousands of third party apps that apparently circumvent AT&T's requirement that the user activate tethering, but AT&T can't tell us which app might be causing tethering to occur on my wife's phone. Is there an app or utility that can identify iPhone apps that have this feature so we can uninstall them? AT&T will change us to a worse service plan if we keep tethering, whether or not it's intentional or wanted. Thanks!

That was my gut feeling. I asked for examples of apps where they knew this was happening and almost all they gave me were tethering apps <smh>. Anyone else out there has had this experience with AT&amp;T? I still need to somehow keep the  from claiming there's an app on the phone that's surreptitiously tethering.

  • How can I identify and delete duplicates on the latest version of itunes?

    How can I identify and delete duplicates on the lastest version of iTunes?

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

  • How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)

    How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)?  I have quite a few libraries created as backup files.

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.
    Simon

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • How can I remove and replace a purchased app that is malfunctioning.

    How can I remove and replace a purchased app that is malfunctioning.?

    Delete the App and redownload it...
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle.
    You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner.
    Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    ( You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.)

  • How can I identify and delete duplicate photos

    is there a way to identify and delete duplicate photo's in I photo?

    No one is suggesting that you download third party "crap". What was suggested is that you download a well established and supported 3rd party application. As to why there isn't a "'delete your stupid duplicate photo' option", you'll need to ask Apple that. Apple aren't here. This forum is for Users to help other Users. As to why you import stupid photos, you'll need to ask yourself.

  • How can i access and assign java xml Document variable in javascript block

    How can i access and assign org.w3c.dom.Document variable in javascript block
    I tried this xmlDoc = "<%=xmldoc%>";
    it is not working
    plz give me solution.
    thanx
    Vidya

    The solution would only work on MS IE browsers, as other browsers do not support an XML DOM.
    It can be done, but you would be stuck with using the Microsoft broswer. If that is acceptable, I have some example code, and a book recommendation.

    does my macbook air have a built in virus scan?  how can I access and use it? also any recommendations of what software if this is not avail ?

    Contrary to what Geeks on Hugs is telling you, Mac OS X does indeed have a basic malware scanner. It is not a feature that is directly accessible to the user, and works a bit differently than every other malware scanner out there. Gatekeeper, which has been mentioned here, is entirely separate, and provides a different method for helping to protect you against malware.
    The anti-malware scanner in Mac OS X is called XProtect. When you download an application (or any other kind of executable code), it is automatically "quarantined," so that when you open it you're asked if you really want to do that. I'm sure you're very familiar with this aspect of Mac OS X if you have ever downloaded any apps from outside the App Store. What you don't know, though, is that each time you try to open a new app, that app is checked by XProtect. If it is identified as malware, you will not be allowed to open it, and will be warned that it's malware.
    At this time, there is no known malware that can infect a properly up-to-date Mac. All current malware will be blocked by one or more methods.
    For more information, see my Mac Malware Guide.

    Re: safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug in) 
    Jul 26, 2012 7:39 AM (in response to defconnect5)
    I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
    However, I did see two versions of Flash:
    _Flash Player.plugin with old date
    Flash Player.plugin with todays date
    I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

  • How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

    Hi,Guys
    I wrote an application server(daemon process) to talk with oracle server
    continuous which used oracle9 OCCI lib, each 5 min it executes the procedure
    on the DB server.
    Now I have come cross a problem:
    If the network is blocked, app server will blocked at occi call and would
    never pass, and no exception was catched :-(
    for e.g.
    1. Oracle server reboot without shutdown oracle process
    2. udp broadcast message storm blocked the connection between app server and
    oracle DB.
    I consider maybe it's because OCCI using the blocking mode of connection
    that caused this problem.
    How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

    Manage the timeout using a separate thread. When the timeout happens, issue a break on the OCCI connection. There is no direct way as of now. You need to do this to break a OCCI connection.
    retrieve the OCI handle from the OCCI handle (e.g. using Connection::getOCIServer or Connection::getOCIServiceContext methods) and issue a OCIBreak on it. Do not forget to allocate a error handle which should be passed to OCIBreak call.

  • How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses

    How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses??
    TIA
    C

    Most email clients have a provision to create a 'rule'. The rule examines the email as it is received. In generally you can search for specifically senders, recipients,subjects, or specific content words in the body. Based upon the findings of the rule, you can do something with the email (such as end it directly to the Trash).
    For example if you know where all of valid you emails come from, you can create a rule that checks the from field for an acceptable sender and sends those email's that to the inbox, while sending all emails from other senders to the trash or spam folder
    Keeping out foreign language emails is often difficult because because often it is difficult to come up with a rule that will catch them on the basis of language they are written in.
    There are also commercial products that can scan incoming email and 'score' the email based upon content, and you decide at what 'score'  you want the mail sent straight to the trash or spam folder. Verizon's spam filter does this based upon Verizon's scoring system, and actually does catch a lot of spam. It also occaisonally catches things that are not spam however....
    Hope that is helpful
