How do I stop my laptop from tethering through an iPhone's internet?

I live with my sister, and whenever she leaves the house with her iPhone I've noticed my laptop refuses to connect to the internet. The internet itself still works, as I've tried accessing it on her computer, but despite trying I cannot get my macbook pro to connect. When she enters the house again it connects with no problems, so I've come to the conclusion that it's tethering internet through the iPhone.
When it's not connected (when the iPhone is out of the house), I've noticed messages like "Wi-Fi does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet" in my Network Preferences. Anyone have any solutions?

Why don't you just connect to the house network?

You can lock your screen from rotating. Double-click the home button, then slide your finger to the right until your get to the iPod section. There you click the icon on the left and that will lock your screen. You can unlock it the same way.

while True:
and just indent everything else under it
Ends when you press ^C.
if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
if not vpc:
break
which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

How do I stop icloud music from playing on my iPhone?

Currently I have no music on my iPhone as I primarily use spotify. The only music is from iCloud, some of it I don't even remember downloading in the first place.
How can I stop this from downloading to my iPhone? Also, when I press the pause with my headphones on Spotify my iTunes music plays. Hoping that if I get rid of it that won't happen anymore.
Already checked:
Settings>>Music (Show All Music set to only downloaded music to device shown, iTunes match not subscribed to)
Settings >> iTunes & App Store (Music Auto Download is off, iTunes Match not subscribed to

Hello RationalPuppet
If you go to Settings > Music and then toggle off Show All Music that will prevent from seeing your downloaded music. I have also provided other articles for hiding purchases and even deleting purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.

How can I stop iCloud music from playing while my iphone is on shuffle?

The hide feature does not stop the songs from playing it only removes them from sight. Or how can I remove songs from my iCloud.

How do I stop icloud contacts from overwriting or superseding iphone contact entrees

If i enter a new contact on my Iphone it eventualy gets wiped out (Deleted). i assume this is because it does not exist on the cloud. If i enter a new contact in the cloud, it emediatly apears on my Iphone. Nice! i like that, but i want to be able to enter new contact info on my Iphon too and have it appear in the cloud contacts. Is this posible?

If you are trying to restore your contacts from an iCloud backup, you have to follow the steps in this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. This involves disabling your internet connection just after your device restarts as it is backing up, then turning off iCloud syncing on your device and keeping a copy of your contacts on it when prompted. Then you can restore the internet connection, allow you device to re-connect to iCloud and finish restoring. Then delete any contacts from iCloud.com*, turning contacts syncing on again in Settings>iCloud and choose Merge at the prompt.
* If the contacts on iCloud.com are not contained in the backup, you can download them as a vCard as explained here before deleting them: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard. Then you can import this vCard back to your iCloud account as explained here: iCloud: Import a vCard after you're done merging the restored contacts from your phone as discussed above.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success. Can you help? Thanks.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success. Can you help? Thanks

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

My laptop was stolen lately with iCloud activated on it. I realize that i can remotely wipe it using find my phone but I really doubt that the thief will go online. So is there a way to stop that laptop from getting my iCloud updates? Please help.

Hi,
My laptop was stolen lately with iCloud activated on it. I realize that i can remotely wipe it using find my phone but I really doubt that the thief will go online. So is there a way to stop that laptop from getting my iCloud updates at least?
Help.

I have the same problem, my laptop was stolen with my girlfriend's icloud activated on. If the Laptop is switched on with access to the internet it will connect to icloud. How can I find out the IP's that are connected to my icloud. That lack of information who is connected to your icloud is not qool . Sorry for my english.

How do I stop the Finder from seeing SMB (Windows) shares on the network?

I have the OPPOSITE problem most people have -- Windows Sharing works TOO WELL.
I've donated a refurbished eMac to the local homeless shelter. I figured I'd made the system secure, and prevented any monkey business. Turns out the windows machines on the network are COMPLETELY insecure (guest access to everything is enabled). The problem is that the Mac is TOO friendly -- it automatically connects to the server as a guest, and happily presents everything to the user.
I've tried a dozen different things (I've removed the 'Shared' section from the sidebar in the Finder windows (Go->Network is still there, Doh.), tried to turn off File Sharing, and even disabled the mount_smbfs command in the /sbin directory with "chmod 0 mount_smbfs".)
I've asked the folks there to call in a PC tech and fix their security problem -- but it's a good question to which I've found no suitable answer... How to I stop the Mac from connecting to SMB Shares on the local network?
Thanks.

Same problem, keep getting a pop up with connection failed you do not have permission to access the server. The server is a windows 7 box, Starting happening after an up grade to windows 7. Nowhere can I find how to stop trying to connect. I am sure its at the unix level of samba but what to do is another question

How do you stop 1.4 from importing??

I recently installed LR2.3 on a machine with LR1.4. I thought it would install over but it appears to have installed a completely seperate copy.
The problem: when I put a card in my reader, the Windows dialog box pops up for 'what do you want to do with this?'.
If I select the LR2.3 icon, it pulls up LR1.4 instead!! The icon definitely says 2.3.
How do I stop 1.4 from importing and letting 2.3 do it?
Right now I have to:
Insert card
Wait for 1.4 to come up
shut down 1.4
Bring up 2.3
Import
thoughts?

I haven't had LR 1.4 installed over a year so I don't quite remember how it worked, but if it uses ADPProxy then you might find relief with the steps shown in this post:

How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.
