As per another suggestion, in these circumstances, it is wiser to have a second location, then I would suggest you try switching to the other network (Automatic?) before you put the machine to sleep or shutdown?
I say sleep, as that is all I ever use between home and my office, but I make sure the light is pulsing before closing the lid.

How do you Turn off automatic Wi-Fi login

I use the BlueSocket application to authenticate to my wireless network at work. I don’t want the new iPhone 3.0 automatic Wi-Fi login since it does not seem to save my username and password. How can I turn it off. Everything I try so far just disconnects me from the wireless access point.

Hi, Cyrus.
If you search for "automatic login bluesocket" you'll find quite a few people are having the same problem we are.
The way you stop your iPhone from forcing you to login every time is to select your work WiFi network in Settings > Wifi and then touch "Forget Network" at the top of the screen. This will force the phone to use the cell network even if you're in range of the work WiFi.
This is how I did it it with OS 1 & 2 and until Apple works this out, OS 3 as well.
Sorry

How do you turn off a wireless keyboard?

After the G5 iMac died, I bought a refurbished Intel 21.5" iMac from Apple. The wireless keyboard that comes with is fine but I prefer my wired USB keyboard with numeric keypad, etc.
So I want to put the wireless one away. Every time I push the power button, the green light comes on for a few seconds and the keyboard is still operational. I finally took the batteries out but that is a silly way to shut a device off.

Took some trying.
Press ne time on is on, it will first go in pairing mode if not set up, or simply connect.
To turn off, press the button and the led will go on. Keep pressed until the led goes of and the keyboard is now turned off.
To pair with another device, turn on and keep the on button pressed until the led flashes green. Now you can pair it with another device, like your iphone on the go.

WRT54GL - needs a set-up change or how can I turn off the wireless connection ?

I've got this router configured as a switch and it's working great with one exception:
The Wireless network, when turned on, takes precedence over the ethernet network (which is 2x faster).
Is there any way within Windows to be able to switch the wireless network "off".
When I try to click "disable" on the wireless network connection status message box, I get:
"It is not possible to disable this connection at this time. This connection may be using one of more protocols which do not support plug n play, or it may have been initiated by the user or the system account"
I guess I have to turn it off at the router level then ? See, I only really needed wireless to talk to my stupid wireless-only HP Envy printer....which I only need to do intermittently.

Try to disable the wireless adapter on the Device Manager window. Go to Start > Control Panel> System > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Adapters. You can then right click the wireless adapter there and select disable. If it is still not possible, you’ll have to access the router then and disable the SSID Broadcast. See below:

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
but got a 404 error...
I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
JM

You should still disable this setting:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
What is the value of the accessibility.blockautorefresh pref on the about:config page?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
If you have problems with preferences, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Hi,
You may not have a wireless network adapter.
If it is not in Network Adapters and you have no Device Manager errors or disabled devices under Network Adapters then that would be the case.

How do I turn off automatic sync?

I recently accidently deleted most of my itunes music library. Previously I had itunes set to automatic sync. All my music is on my ipod classic and I want to keep it. I am worried that if I connect my ipod to the PC it will automatically sync and will delete most of the music on my ipod. How do I turn off automatic sync and set it to manual sync? Is there a way of changing the settings without connecting the ipod? Would it be of any help if I had access to another ipod and could I use this to change settings. I would be very grateful for any help.
Padraig

To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?
i work with Windows,Mac& ipad..

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
On Skype for desktop (Windows, Mac) just use "Sign out" from the "Skype" menu once. This will take you back to the Skype sign in screen. Next time you sign in from there just make sure you have the "Sign me in when Skype starts" checkbox not checked.
On Skype for iPad:
Open the Skype app settings from the iOS settings menu. I think there should be an option to disable automatic sign in.

2) Select "Alerts"
3) select the Profile you like to adjust
4) Select App Alerts
5) Select Email
6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed
7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount)
Hope it helps

How can i turn off automatic printing on my ipad mini

how can i turn off automatic printing on my ipad mini. every day My printer prints out a weekly calendar at the same time. How can I stop or disable this. Thanks

The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.
