How do I turn off Internet Tethering?

Often when I am connected to free WiFi, I find my iPhone-4 going through the motions of Internet Tethering - which appears to curtail all other use of the WiFi.
I went to the Apple or AT&T sites for help - they show an instructions screen where the "Internet Tethering" "button" in the Setting/Genenal/Network screen has an On/Off switch. Mine does not - it simply shows either "Set Up Internet Tethering" or "Internet Tethering".
I don't need internet tethering - how do I stop my iPhone-4 from trying to do it and in doing so curtailing my wifi access?
Thanks

hey
try this, it might work for your
it worked for me !!!!!!
i had the same problem with my iphone replacement 3GS with 4.0.2 iOS
i took it home, activated and let it charged until full.
then i unplug it and 7 hours later i checked it, it was 55% battery life left
i didnt do anything with it, no even call or surf on the net
it doesnt even have the sim card on (only stanby)
so looking at the setting
i saw the internet tethering spinning and spinning never stop
i didnt want to restore it as it has 4.0.2, dont want 4.1 yet
so i put my sim card
turned the 3G setting off
turned the celullar data off
internet tethering still spinning
then i turned the 3G setting on (internet tethering still spinning)
turned on the cellular data on (internet tethering still spinning)
turned on the data roaming on ( voila!!! internet tethering OFF )
then turned data roaming off and cellular data off
and internet tethering still off
let me know if works for you
i will compare the battery life if this was affecting or maybe something else

How do I turn off internet recovery in Mountain Lion?

I need to turn off internet recovery in Mountain Lion. The reason is if you use internet recovery you can access safari and although parental controls are on, internet is unmonitored. I want to ensure my MBP is secure from the darker parts of the internet and thus I don't want there to be any unmonitored internet access.
Is there a way to turn off internet recovery or is it hardwired into Mounatin Lion?
Seb

Open firmware password may be the way to do it. Mind you, a clever enough person can bypass that, but it takes more effort than it usually is worth. Put a hidden camera in the room if you are worried something will happen, and backup the data only when you are present. And if you forget the open firmware password, you may have locked yourself out for good anyway.

Every time i turn on itunes it asks for my internet username and password. If I cancel the request it pops up again after a few seconds and will continue to pop up, even if I put my name and password in.
This becomes very frustrating when I don't want to use the internet or I don't have a connection. How can I turn this off?

Well usually when your in an app Say Like Slacker for Instance and your Listening to it But you want to Stop it. Well you would hit the Pause button then Tap your Menu then you will see an option to Exit once you do it will stop.

How can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times?

how can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times? I use an Airport extreme and several units to extend the range. Kids have multiple devices that I don't want on the network at certain hours. On the other hand, ideally, my wife and I would like to be able to access the internet with our devices after the kid's bedtime and during their school study time.

If it isn't present then open Network preferences, select the Airport port, check the box labeled: "Show Wi-Fi status in menubar." You can also turn Airport off in this same place.

How do I turn off iTunes genius without having Internet connection?

How do I turn off iTunes genius without having Internet connection? When I go to the iTunes menu select store, the drop-down box has "Turn Off Genius" grayed out. I had Internet service when I started/activated my iTunes genius. But now, I stopped my Internet service and I cannot deactivate/stop the iTunes genius from trying to access the iTunes Store. Is there a way to turn this function off!? Any help would do. I have iTunes 10.7(21) 64 bit

How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

HT1430 How do I turn off the data when I am not in a WiFi location? I noticed that I am using data when the phone is "on" and I am not in a WiFi situation, but not on the internet. So, how do I turn off the data?

How can I turn off the LTE data when I am someplace where there is not WiFi and I do not want my LTE running up a bill? I have tracked my usage and realize that the LTE is being used even when I am not using it, just because the phone is turned on.

Merely being on should not use any data. You must have something running - something using push notifications, or push email, prhaps?
So, you can either track down what is using the data and change it, or you could go in and disaple cellular data in your settings.
One other thing to check is
Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostic and Usage data -> set it to "Don't Send"
Settings -> Restrictions -> Location Services -> System Services -> turn all these "OFF" (this will not affect how you use your phone at all, but will stop any outgoing location information being sent periodically back to Apple).

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

How do I turn off IP Flood Detection?

I've perused the forums and have concluded in my computer-technically-naive mind that this could lead me to internet bliss...... I have been experiencing excrutiatingly slow or never-loading web pages.    Often, after a couple of minutes of waiting I will get a [cannot connect] message, yet when I press the reload button in the message, it then loads immediately.   This has been occurring for several weeks now. Occurs across all browsers that I am using - Safari, Chrome and Firefox.   Very frustrating.   So.... how do I turn off IP Flood Detection?
I found an assist on-line as follows: enter http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
User name: admin
Password: admin
On status page, click Firewall.
On the Firewall page, disable/uncheck IP Flood Detection.
Unfortunately, the admin/password given doesn't work.   Does anyone have updated ones?... or perhaps another solution?

I have an Apple Airport Extreme 5.6.1.
5.6.1 is the version of AirPort Utility, which is the software that is only used to configure an Apple AirPort router.
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 will only work with the Apple routers......not with a Bell modem.
If you have an Apple wireless router, please look on the bottom of the device for the model number. All AirPort routers have a model number that starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
If you only have a Bell modem, we would not be able to provide support for that product on an Apple support site. You will need to connect the Bell support folks for assistance in that regard.

How can I turn off genius in iTunes 10.5.3 (3)

How can I turn off Genius in iTunes 10.5.3 under Lion 10.7.3 (other than disconnecting from the internet). It is no longer an option in the Store menu and although I can hide that playlist on the left through parental controls, the atom symbol is still present in the lower right of the window available to generate a list from a selected song. Thank you.

I have the option to turn it off. What version of iTunes are you using? I have the latest iTunes. Have you tried signing out of the store?

How does one turn OFF ripple editing in PE8?
Thanks,
Chris Elkins

There is not ON/OFF toggle for Ripple Edit. It is ON, by default and design.
However, it is easy to change it to Insert Edit, by holding down the Ctrl modifyer key.
Good luck, and hope that this gets you what you want.
