How do I delete old wifi networks from appearing in the wifi icon in the menu bar.

Just bought a new Airport Time Capsule and is up and running OK.
When I click on the wifi icon in the menu bar all my old wifi networks appear 
which are then viewable by neighbours although the networks themselves are PW protected.
In system preferences>network>advanced I have deleted all my old N/Works allowing only
my new one to appear.
How can I delete the old networks I no longer use from re-appearing in the list under the wifi icon?

When you delete old networks in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced, be sure to click the OK button, then click the Apply button in the next window that appears.
You also need to delete the old networks in KeyChain Access as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Click on the name of an old wireless network to highlight it
Click the Delete key on your Mac
Do the same for other old wireless networks that you no longer use, then restart your Mac.

  • How can you delete an app update from appearing if you do not want the update?

    When you are offered an update to an app you downloaded from the App Store is it possible to delete the update if you do not want it.  I can not find any settings for the App Store.

    No, I've just checked the best way to do. It is to update them

  • How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Ai

    How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Air.
    I had set up a WEP Network but I need to set up a WPA (personal) network now and i cant seem to change the WEP network to a WPA2 network.
    Thank you for any help you can provide me.
    LShaps

    The MacBook Air will autodetect WEP and WPA security changes and should allow you to reconnect again. If the password stored in the Mac is wrong, it will ask you to enter it again.
    With that said, to forget a network do the following:
    - Go to the Apple Menu and select System Preferences
    - Click on the Network icon
    - Highlight the Airport / WiFi entry (sepending on 10.6 vs 10.7)
    - Click the Advanced button at the bottom
    - Make sue the Airport / WiFi tab is selected
    - Click on the network name you want to forget
    - Press the minus button at the bottom of the list.
    You may also want to consider restarting if you are having this issue.

  • How do you delete un-necessary networks from wifi list?

    On my Droid 2, I go to
    Settings/Wireless & networks/Wi-Fi settings/Manage Networks (at bottom of list).
    On that screen it says "To conserve battery, delete un-necessary networks from the list."
    Great advice -- but how do you do it?
    I went back to the Wi-Fi settings screen; long press on an unwanted network -- the only choice is "Connect to Network".
    I powered off the phone.  Waited awhile.  Powered back on.  Same result.  I have the latest Motorola maint applied.
    Any ideas?

    I have provided some steps below to remove networks from the network list.
    1.From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
    2.Touch Settings.
    3.Touch Wireless & networks.
    4. Touch Wi-Fi settings.
    5. Touch Manage Networks.
    6. Touch and hold the appropriate WiFi network.
    7. Touch Forget network.

  • How to remove an old, unwanted network from Airport Extreme?

    1. How can I remove old, unwanted, network names and info from my Airport Extreme? 
    2. Could the presence of the old network be interfering with connection to new Hughes Gen4 satellite network?

    2. Could the presence of the old network be interfering with connection to new Hughes Gen4 satellite network?
    It's possible. But, interfererence can also come from cordless phones, other wireless networks in your neighborhood, and any number of other sources.

    Are you asking how to turn off the wireless function of the AirPort Extreme because it is no longer needed?

  • How can i delete old outdated emails from my ipad?

    Ipads and Iphones remember every email I have ever used.  Even if I make a typo or if I have deleted an old email.  There seems to be no way of deleting them.  Now I find that when I was in a hurry and sent an email to "Teresa"  the choices that come up are the new AND the old one. Also, my husband thought his gmail was [email protected] but it REALLY was [email protected]  The devices remember both so when I copy him on an event i am offered both choices and have to debate with myself which is correct.  Any know a way to fix this???
    Thanks!

    Hi Ritahyde - There is a way to remove recent email addresses that you have used on your iPad and iPhone as long as they are not in your contacts. To do this, create a new email and start typing the email address that he would like to delete. As soon as it pops up, there will be on the right-hand side a circle with the letter "I". Tap on that circle and you will be taken to your recent email address and at the bottom you can click on "remove from recents".
    Now, if you do not see that circle icon to the right of that email address, that means that you have saved this email address in your contacts and you need to delete it from there first.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I delete old email addresses from the "From" drop down menu when sending emails?

    I have some old email addresses, I think may be aliases that show up in the drop down box  in the "From" in email messages that I send.
    They don't show up anywhere in the Preferences/Accounts panel at all.
    Very perplexed at this one.

    From the Mail menubar, click Window and select Previous recipients. In there you can delete old email contacts.

  • My iPad 2 changes wifi network from home router to wifi audio all the time, how do i stop this?

    This happens all the time and I dont use the audio all that much. Yes i can disable the audio but synching it back aagin is not an easy process.
    I thought the iPad stayed on the same network and last used network, my iPad cahnges in the middle of say reading the local news paper.

    Try rebooting your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

What am I missing? I understand that the icon should be on my menu bar but it is not there. Help please

  • How do I delete old downloaded emails from hotmail

    When I bought my Macbook Pro the Apple tech helping me set it up incorrectly started downloading thousands of old emails from my Hotmail account. I don't use the email account on my Macbook and prefer not to. How do I find and delete these emails and the attachments that were included? I just recently figured out that they exist on my Macbook. Thanks!

  • How can I delete old, incorrect contacts from iCloud?

    There are hidden duplicates in my iCloud contacts - old ones for contacts where I've updated info. They don't show up in the regular contacts list ("all contacts"), yet they always show up when I enter a name into an email address and in iPhoto's Faces names. I can't change them to the correct names in iPhoto. And I can't find them to delete the old data.
    Anyone know where these are stored (old contact data that's been deleted or updated)? And, how can I access that place?
    Thank you.

    Well.....
    After an incredible amount of research on this issue, I discovered it's not new. In fact, there have been many complaints about it with no action (to date) by Apple. Here's what's happening...
    On iOS devices (iPad, iPhone), when an email is received or an email address is changed, IN THE EMAIL APP, a cache is formed with all the "received email addresses." These - right/wrong/incorrect/whatever are stored and pop up when you enter an email recipient. THERE IS NO WAY TO DELETE THESE ON iDEVICES.
    However, if you have a Mac, it's an easy cure -
    Open Mail > Windows > Previous recipients > select those you want out (or all, for that matter - doesn't affect the Contacts list) > Remove.
    Too bad Apple hasn't seen fit to add this to its iOS functionality. Maybe if enough complaints are received, it might show up in iOS6 ?????
