IPhone 3G: How to stop from joining unknown networks

When I first got my iPhone I got to work and a wi-fi network named "Guest" popped up. Being new to things, I clicked on it. Of course nothing worked. I went to a web page and a page popped up asking for a password. I have no idea what the password is, and it's not available to the general public.
That night, I went home and hooked up to my personal wireless LAN, and the wi-fi works great.
Problem: If I leave wi-fi on, when I leave the house, the iPhone switches to 3G. As soon as I get to work, the phone connects to the "Guest" network and nothing works. I have to then turn off wi-fi to get things working.
Question: How do I deselect this "Guest" network so my phone doesn't automatically try to connect to it. I don't mind it asking me, but it no longer asks since I selected it on time. I still want my home network to auto connect without asking, but not this work network.
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Tap the small blue arrow next to "Guest"
There's a big button at the very top that says "Forget this network"

  • How to stop "FROM AROUND THE WEB" and "You May Like" from coming up on each page that I browse

    It is very frustrating when I am on Mozilla looking at various websites and on each page that I go to either "FROM AROUND THE WEB" or "You May Like" come up in the middle of the page with links to other websites that I am not interested in viewing.
    Also when I am shopping on the internet another pop up called Deals, brought by iWebar keeps popping up and also "Deals" by Deal Finder. I did not change any of my settings, I only updated Mozilla Firefox and then all of these things started happening. This is very frustrating and I want to know how to turn this off. I did not sign up for any of these things, and want to be advised on how to remove them.
    Could you please advise how to stop these as I really do not want these options as I am browsing and I will go back to Internet Explorer if this continues to happen. I look forward to hearing from you promptly. Thank you

    Hi Kerri,
    You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this adware. Be very careful what you agree to install.<br>
    Adware gets on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
    You can use the below steps to revert back to adware-less Firefox.
    1) <u>Reset Prefs</u>
    *Navigate to '''about:config''' in your Address Bar
    *Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
    *Search for <b>iWebar</b> and reset all prefs that pull up by right clicking > Reset
    2) Remove any programs that you don't recognize or remember installing from your Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program)
    3) Remove any extensions that you don't recognize or remember installing from Firefox.
    *(Press the menu button ([[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions)
    4) Download ADW Cleaner to wipe out any remnants of the adware.

  • IPhone & iTunes - how to change from Mac to PC?

    I have been sync'ing my iPhone 4S on a Macbook Pro. I need to switch to a PC.
    I have searched Google and Apple Support but all I can find are ways to convert from PC to Mac.
    I've imported the library.xml I copied from the Mac and copied my iTunes Music to the PC.
    When I plug in the iPhone on the PC, it just recognizes it as a mobile device and doesn't connect it to iTunes.
    Is there some documentation on how to convert from iTunes/iPhone on Mac to iTunes/iPhone on a PC?

    Follow the directions here:

  • IPhone 5 wi-fi "unable to join the network"

    My new iPhone 5 is my first iPhone and I've had it about a week.  I'm still in the process of setting it up but cannot connect to my home (secured) wi-fi.  I've been reading other Apple forums and Google suggestions and it appears this is a known Apple issue?  My phone came with iOS 6 installed so I have no update available.  I've turned off my router and shut off my phone, rebooting both but I still get an error message when entering our wi-fi password:  "unable to join the network".  I've turned off cellular and re-tried wi-fi to no avail.  I am NOT impressed with my first Apple product.  What a hassle.  Does anyone have any other suggestions to try or am I stuck waiting months for an Apple fix?

    There are a couple of things that you can try. First, try disabling the security on your wifi network and see if the phone will connect. Check the type of security you are using. Some have reported the iPhone reacts differently to some wifi security. Check to see if there is a firmware update to the router. This is usually the biggest culprit of the bunch. Once routers have been updated and restarted, troubles disappear.

  • How to restrict from creating the  Network for  1st & 2nd level  WBS

    Hi All,
        In our project structure we have up to 5 levels of WBS, In some cases we have creates  3 level also . Now we want to restrict creates Network for first two level WBS  , actually we want to restrict user to Create PR for those WBS so if we restrict them from creation of Network for 1st &  2nd level then they not able to create PR for same  .
    Thanks,
    Virendra

    Hi Virendra,
    I can suggest you other way round solution.
    If you are sure that those two WBS will not take any actual or commitment cost, then its better to NOT to mark those WBS elements as Account Assignment Element. I mean, if you do not set the indicator of Acct. Assignment Element (Untick Acct Assignment Element) on those WBS, then user will not be able to create Networks on those WBS Elements. Try this on your development or quality client and let me know if it works.
    If it works, then you just need to disabled the Acct. Assignment Element indicator for those two WBS element and you can achieve that through substitution and field selection of WBS as well.
    OR
    Just look at OPSG settings at tab component. Just look if that can solve your purpose because your requirement is to stop PR from those WBS element. (I am just wondering if you can stop user from creating/change material components from those WBS-Networks)
    OR
    Go for User Status and set it to on those WBS Elements. Object Types will be Networks and Network Header.
    OR
    Try to achieve a validation or substitution where in you can mark Res./Pur. Req as 1 (Never) only for those two WBS elements. In this way user cannot create PR on those two WBS elements.
    Regards,
    Amit

  • Audio File Not Found Dialogue Box - How To Stop From Popping Up

    Hello:
    I had to delete useless audio tracks from Logic Pro 9. Naturally I get the pop up box that says certain track not found in it's location. Then the instruction as to how to locate it. then the the buttons: skip all skip search locate. Well as the tracks have been completely deleted, and the bin has all ! next to the tracks, is there any way to stop this dialogue box appearing, as in "do not show again," or am I a slave to clicking on skip all to get to the recording tracks? Thanks for any advice

    Hey Thanks, Seeren....nothing more than one big duh....but I didn't know....and clearing out the tracks still hasn't made my macbook pro run faster!
    Thanks, again

  • How to stop from asking about Missing Clips?

    Whenever I start Premiere Elements 8, it asks me to locate some missing clips (I deleted them from my machine as I no longer need them).
    If I choose "skip all", it proceeds into Premiere, but the next time I start up, it asks me again!
    How do I stop Premiere from asking me about missing clips?

    ATR,
    You are 100% correct. From the OP, it was my understanding that these files were not going to be used in this Project. If they really are, then they need to be retrieved (from backup, hopefully), or by re-Capture, as they have been deleted from the HDD.
    Your methods should help in the future, if such media files are really still required. Some do not understand that the Project file is NOT a repository for media - it is only an XML database of links and instructions. This ARTICLE goes into more details on that.
    If I am incorrect on these deleted files still being required, I do hope that copies of them exist elsewhere, or that a recovery program, like Stellar-Phoenix, can be run, before the HDD space gets overwritten. I hope that I am correct.
    Thanks for the warnings and for the instructions on how to handle things, in the event that the files ARE still needed in the Project.
    In my exampe above, one can see the Video usage column. In the OP's case, these should be empty, i.e. no numbers present. If they have ANY numbers besides them, they should also appear as Off-Line, and then the OP needs to get those back and in a hurry.
    Here's a look at that Video Usage Column:
    Good luck to the OP and please let us know exactly what the state of these files is, regarding your Project.

  • How to stop from opening the notification message automatically.

    In the notification list I can see all my notifications similar to a mail box.
    Eg. If the top most notification is that of Leave of Absence approval and the second one on the list is an appraisal notification.
    Currently after I approve or reject my first notification (Leave notification),
    the system automatically opens the second one in the list.
    How do I avoid this and the second notification namely the appraisal one as per the example should be openned only if I click on it.

  • 5230 - How to stop from continuous connecting

    Hey forum!
    Im going to be going on a vacation to another country, and would like to shut
    down my Nokia 5230 from being connected to the internet.
    I have unlimited bandwidth to use in my country, but outside of my country
    I'll have regular roaming prices, which are too high for me.
    I tried disconnecting it, by keeping the red button held. After disconnecting
    it, it automatically started to reconnect.
    Even when Im not using any software on my mobile, I can see that its
    uploading and downloading small packets.
    I put the email service into "offline" so that shouldn't be the problem.
    I want to be able to call so the phones profile "Offline" is not the choice for me.
    Any help,
    thank you!

  • How to stop bounces to unknown users?

    I've had a domain name for 12 years now and it's become quite a spam magnet. I get thousands of spam emails daily and they totally glut up the message queue (and can really slow down the mail service).
    I have been scouring the web looking for a way to turn of any response to an arriving email for an unknown user.
    I'm fine accepting spam for a user that I know (and dealing with it at the client) but I'm tired of wasting bandwidth & cycles on a polite "I'm sorry, but there's no one here by that name) to spammers.
    I think manually editing the main.cf file is the key. I tried enabling this directive - bit it didn't seem to change the behavior:
    localrecipientmaps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
    #alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
    I added some test emails addresses to the aliases file - but that also had no effect.
    What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to achieve this?
    Thanks

  • Iphone 5 - How to unattach from itunes account of former employee

    Hello,
    I have an Iphone 5 that was being used by an employee that resigned yesterday. His phone was linked to his personal itunes account and this has caused an issue for me when trying to restore the phone. The information on the phone is no concern, just need the phone to be usable.
    I tried booting the phone into recovery mode thru itunes to do a force restore, and was able to do so. But now that the phone is restored and wanting to go through activation I have a new issue. It is asking me for his itunes password because the phone is on his itunes account.
    Can anyone please help me figure out what I need to do?
    Thank you
    Dan

    No. Did you try your HR department? They might have that info.
    Is there a better way to control the devices than having them use a personal itunes account?
    Enact a clear company policy that requires emplyees to disable Find my iPhone as per the document I linked in my original answer, before they leave the company.
