HT1695 How do you disable an existing WiFi auto connect?

I have an Apple iPhone 4.  Under Settings > General > Network > WiFi it states "Known networks will be joined automatically.  If no know networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network." My question is, how do you disable the automatic connection to known networks?
Thanks,
Sue

If you are near the Wifi network you want to disable, it will be listed in the listing of available networks, obviously.
Tap the blue arrow on the right side of the wifi's name.  If the network offers auto join and auto login you can turn them off here.  Not all networks offer this. If you just want to keep your phone from automatically joining a specific network you have used in the past you can tap Forget this network and you will be disconnected from it.
Or if you want to disable all wifi networks you have joined in the past you can reset your network settings.
Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
this will reset your cellular connection as well as your wifi connections.  You will have to enter any ID and Password information for the networks that require you to log in, such as your home wifi network (You do have your home network password protected right?) but you will have disabled your wifi connections.

  • How do you disable the feature to 'keep iMessage conversations running between two devices'?

    I have 2 apple devices- an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. When I set my iPad up and set iMessage up set it offered me the option to keep iMessage conversations running between the two devices, and i pressed yes. I now cannot stand this feature because every time I recieve an iMessage, I get two alerts, one on each device. How do you disable it?

    Hi DeltaNomad,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can disable the Substitutions feature completely, or add words you frequently use to the substitutions list.  See this information from the Pages User Guide:
    Replace text automatically - Pages Help for Mac
    http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.1/#/tanca15d8a79
    When Text Replacement is turned on for the document, a checkmark appears next to Text Replacement in the Substitutions menu. You can deselect Text Replacement to turn it off, but existing text won’t change unless you select the text, and then follow the steps above.
    Choose Edit > Substitutions > Show Substitutions (from the Edit menu at the top of your computer screen).
    In the Substitutions window, select the Text Replacement checkbox, then click Text Preferences.
    Click Text, click the plus sign, then type the text you want to replace (such as “teh”) in the Replace column.
    Type the word you want to replace it with (such as “the”) in the With column.
    Close the window when you’re done editing substitutions.
    Click a button to replace all occurrences of the replacement text in the document, or only in the selected text.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • How do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

    how do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

    An existing website as in: editing one which has not previously been uploaded via iWeb?
    I don't think you can. With the wysiwyg editing of iWeb, you can create a whole new website, make a new subdomain site or even upload a few extra created pages.
    Thing is iWeb will only upload or save what you are making in it, therefore you can upload a whole new website to a domain, or upload them manually with ftp-clients. That also means you can't import an exsisting, for example html, script and edit it.
    So in short: for as far as I know, you can't import whole pages into iWeb and edit those, you can only create and upload them.
    Or as in: editing one I've already made, and uploaded on the same Mac?
    Then simple make the changes you want, and hit the "Publish" button in the far down-left corner of the window. It will then overwrite the site you currently have.

    I'm trying to make my computer run a little more effeciently. Thanks.

    Open msconfig, go to startup tab and uncheck the checkbox for helper.
    Is it causing problems? I complain about iTunes resources more than the services Apple wants running.

  • How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

    Can someone please help me with this query:
    How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
    I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
    It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

    Hi Amila1,
    Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
    If so is the Preview pane turned ON?
    Please check the doc: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10862.aspx

    How do you disable cookies in Safari?

    On Safari's Preferences (command-comma) on the Privacy tab you can set 'Block cookies' to 'Always'. Doing so may affect how some sites behave e.g. you may not be able to stay logged in to websites if you set it to 'always', 'block from third parties and advertisers' may be better.

  • How do you disable "digital optical output" so the red light in headphone jack goes off and I can use the internal speakers?

    HI,
    I have a red light in my headphone jack and I see "correct responses" listed as "when digital output is enabled speakers are disabled." That's all well and good but doens't really help. HOW do you disable the "digital output," get the red light to turn off and be able to hear through the speakers? What's the SOLUTION to the problem. Sorry, just a bit frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    dpeast12

    Allegedly this can occur if there is a contaminant in the headphone jack that makes the computer believe there is an optical connection there, so it shuts off the internal speakers.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone plug repeatedly. This ought to dislodge the junk, and seems to have fixed the problem for others. Hope it helps!
