How do i make my own wireless connection the default

Everytime my mb goes to sleep mode and then wakes up it reconnects to one of the other wireless networks in range instead of my own. Is there a way to make it to were my connection is the default?
Also is there a way to make it to where the macbook doesn't sleep or anything when i close the lid, so that i can keep downloading or whatever but have the lid closed?

Try this: Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network. Click on the advanced button. In the list of preferred networks, drag your network to the top of the list if it isn't there already.
You can keep your Macbook from going to sleep by adjusting the Energy Saver settings: Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Energy Saver. At the top of the pane, select either Battery or Power Adapter settings. Underneath "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for:" there is a slider; slide the blue dot all the way right to "Never."

!!!HELP PLEASE!!! HOW DO I MAKE MY NEW APPLE ID THE DEFAULT?

We moved and I had to changed my apple ID since I will be losing my former email account. I created my new apple ID, deleted (or so I thought) my old email account, changed it in iTunes, had to spend another $24.95 for iTunes Match with my new apple ID (rip off that I couldn't transfer the remaining months to my new apple ID) and this morning, I turned on my iMac and notepad and my former apple ID's were back. How do I set up changes to make my new apple ID the default?

It would have been easier to change the email address associated with your Apple ID instead of creating a new one.
As I understand it, anything you bought with the old Apple ID (music, apps, operating system) will forever be associated with that old Apple ID.

How do you make an exchange account as the default?

I had an iphone 5 but that became bricked a few days after installing IOS 8 on it. So I went back to an older iphone 4 until the end of October when the 6 plus is due to ship (hopefully sooner though).
On the iPhone 4, there is no way to make my work Exchange account the default. For mail I can only mark gmail or icloud as a default mail account. However for Calendars, my work e-mail is the default. On my previous phone, the 5, my work exchange email was the default.
Currently I cannot send a photo from the photos app and make it from my work email. I can view and reply to work email messages, but its just not possible to make it the default account. The account is pushed to the devices via MaaS360, but so was the account on the iPhone 5 (and all other devices accessing corporate credentials).

Here is the KB 20098 article URL for setting up an Exchange Active Sync. You need to follow theses steps to set this up on your device. Remember that a certificate needs to be added to the device; either a self-signed or privately issued certificate.

How do I make a different Mail account the default for sending new messages?

I have several email accounts in Mail. When I go to Preferences> Accounts I see them. The account on top of the list is the default one for sending mail. I want one of the lower ones instead. Can I select this or move it to the top position (if that is what gives it priority)?

Open Mail as usual and, at the sidebar, press the arrow next to "Inbox", so all your email accounts will show up under it. Simply hold the Command key and drag the email account you want to use by default to the first position. This will make it the default mail account to send emails

How can I make my current Firefox settings the default settings, so that PC Tools won't delete the menu bar?

I use PS Tools Performance Toolkit to clean/repair my (Vista) registry. When the utility runs, Firefox closes. When I start Firefox again, the appearance on screen has been reset to default -- no menu bar and the the web address line is scrambled. All the settings can be manually corrected, but can I prevent it from changing in the first place.

Can you configure your external software not to clear your Firefox settings (as opposed to, say, cookies and history)?
Unfortunately, there is no handy backup file of toolbar configuration information (localstore.rdf) to restore, so you would need to build your own system to restore it.

How do I add my own headers to the default set of request headers without using a plug-in?

When I open HTTP Live Headers, I see that there are default request headers that go out from the browser to the server. I want to add a Pragma header with a specific value to be sent. This will help me to remove a plug-in from my arsenal and thereby be sure that all the request headers are going as a part of the request.

I think this probably requires an extension. As far as I know, there is no preference you could change in about:config or user.js to "add a header".
Or are you generating the request with JavaScript?

How can I make Sort by File Name the default in Adobe Bridge CS5?

The only online support I have found so far avoids the specific question. Must I assume that Sort by File Name cannot be made the default - and will revert to Manual each time I close Bridge?

If you have "start bridge at login checked" your changes will not keep unless you close program by clicking on File then Exit. Just closing window does not exit program.
Option is in advanced preferences.

How i can make my own connection in java source of a jsp page

How i can make my own connection in java source of a jsp page (How to get connection from JNDI datasource address) ?
imagine that i have a rowset in a web page , now i want to do some operation using
plain JDBC , so i will need a connection object.
I tried to get one of my rowsets connection but it return null ?
what is best way to retrive a connection from JNDI datasource that we define for our project?
for example if i have
myRowSet.setDataSourceName("java:comp/env/jdbc/be");
in web page constructor
now i want a pure connection from the same datasource ? JNDI
Thank you

It is not hard to get your own connection from datasource.
in your case you need to do like the the following code.
i provide sample to show you how to catch the exception and create an statement .
Connection con =null;
try{
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/be");
con = ds.getConnection();
java.sql.Statement st =con.createStatement();
}catch(SQLException sqlex){
sqlex.printStackTrace();
sqlex.getNextException().printStackTrace();
catch(NamingException nex){
nex.printStackTrace();

How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

I got my sister's ipod touch. I have gone to settings and logged off her apple id account, and logged onto mine. Now, when I went to update my apps in the app store, they asked for the password to my sister's apple id. How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

How do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them?

how do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them as opposed to it scattering copies of my files into a myriad different folders based on the albums they came from when i'm not even interested in keeping whole albums?
I recently converted myself to mac after having been a windows formatted person since the beginning of time. I use last.fm and the client scrobbler only supports iTunes on the mac (scobbling since Nov 06 and i'm now heavily dependant upon it as a means of discovering new music) - if you don't know what that means then take it for granted i have no option other than to use iTunes as my media player whn using the mac. And almost immediately upon using iTunes i was filled with horror.
My tale of woe as follows: I copy all my mp3 files to folder X on my new mac. I copy my simple playlist in to that same folder X. The simple playlist simply lists all the files in folder X in the order i want to hear them in... simple right? And what happens the moment i start playing my simple list? Well you probably all ready know; itunes throws copies of all those files in to the air, scatters them to the four winds so each of them fall into a little folder of their own representing the album they might once have come from. I don't keep whole albums. For me the 'album experience' is a ruse to trick one into listening to weaker material. I only keep the concentrated goodness. I only put up with albums in a previous lifetime because in the days of vinyl i had no other choice apart from spending hours compiling mix tapes. Now i am liberated from these restrictions and have been for the 15 or so years i've been using a computer to listen to music. Until along comes iTunes forcing me backwards in time, frog marching me back into the past.
That simple list i mentioned is my one and only playlist. This single playlist has been evolving for 15 years as tracks are added and removed and their position in the list changes because that song sounds amazing when heard after that other song whereas hearing this song after that song would be like pouring custard over your sausages (for me shuffling is an abomination). And so here is how i've managed this list and managed synchronization of said list and listed files with my mp3 player (currently a Zen).
Adding a new file: After deciding that song is a keeper i will copy it into that simple folder that holds all my music and drop it in to a position on the list i deem most suited for it. Incidentally over this entire 15 year (i'm pretty sure it's been around that long) my media player has been winamp but for the reason previously mentioned i am unable to use winamp in mac world.
Removing a file: fortunately winamp has an option to simultaneously remove a file from the list and the hard drive. And naturally so because after all if i no longer like a song then i want it expunged completely from life or at least from my hard drive and playlist. In the brave new world of iTunes i have to remove from the list there then delete the file from where iTunes copied it from and then the place iTunes copied it to.
Editing the list: drag an item in the list to it's preferred location and select to save it as i would for any other file using any other application... well desktop type application as opposed to one that uses a database as its primary means of storage.
Syncing with the mp3 player: copy drag drop playlist file from the simple folder on the hard drive to the simple folder on the mp3 player as i would for any other file. And then also copy drag drop the most recently created files from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on player after having ordered them by creation date so as to make it easier to select the most recently created. After a while the mp3 player will fill up with the files no longer on the list so i will delete all files from player then re-copy all flies from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on mp3 player.
I do not make changes to the list on the mp3 player so synchronization needs only to go one way: from laptop to player.
So all very simple. Apart from editing the positions of files in the list everything is managed by copy drag dropping and deleting files using windows explorer.
But i'm in a mac and circumstances have forced me in to the corner of using iTunes. And this whole iTunes situation is terrifying for me as over the years i've heard horror stories about it deleting all of someone's music files. Perhaps this may have been by using the software incorrectly but even so, the very fact that it appears possible for this to happen simply by using the software incorrectly and the fact that it happens with some degree of frequency given the number of reports of this happening that i have heard of over the years on music discussion forums fills me with dread that i have to now use this software. And given the software's blatant disregard for the user's choice as to where to store his/her files it's no surprise that this happens. The software is pointlessly doing dangerous things with my data. Please make it stop.
Please can i just at the very least make iTunes play the music from the folder i have chosen to put my files in and not copy those files here there and everywhere without my say so? Thankyou.

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.
