Is it possible to turn off "Internet Connect / Authentication Failed" msgs

Greetings and thank you for your time.
My network connect is set up to automatically connect wirelessly or through Ethernet...this is fine.
However, every time I open my notebook or start it up,
If my computer cannot connect through those two, (airport is off/no cable attached) it constantly sends the pop-up message: "Internet Connect / Authentication Failed". 3 times over a period of 15min.
Is there any way to turn this warning off ?
I am not trying to access a connection & Mail/Safari are closed.
It makes it frustrating when you arrive at a meeting to start a presentation and you keep getting this popup that blocks all functions till you acknowledge it and click "ok".
Any suggestions other then turning off auto connect (which I appreciate when I do turn on Airport or plug in an ethernet cable.
Thank you for any support on this.
Best regards, T

Greetings T, and Welcome to the Discussions!
We just have to find what it is that's tying to connect/call home, and disable it.
Common examples are Network Time... Set Date & Time Automatically.
Software Update... Check for Updates...
Dashboard Widgits & Rss Feeds.
Automount Shares.
Mail automatically checking for Mail.
I( was thinking more when I started, but the Berr is...
If all that fails, maybe get Little Snitch, it tells you when a program tries to send info to the internet so you can see what's going on in the background!

Is there anyway i can put a stop to emails between a set period of time say 10pm - 6am without turning off internet connection

Is there anyway i can put a stop to emails between a set period of time say 10pm - 6am without turning off internet connection.

The only ways in iOS would be to stop using push mail or timed fetch mail and switch the account(s) to manual fetch. That way, you only get mail when you open the mail app. to use it.
Or, you could selectively disable wifi and cellular data - voice calls and SMS texts would still come through then.
Other than that, I cannot think of a way to selectively disable email by itself.

Internet Connect "Authentication Failed" message

Hello,
I apologie if I am in the wrong forum. This was my best guess.
Can anyone explain what the Internet Connect "Authentication Failed" message means. I have recently tried installing a software package called "Notebook" on my eMac PowerMac running 10.4.9. The machine accesses the net through a dial-up connection. Whenever I install the software I am okay until I shut down the machine. After this is cannot access the internet until I completely uninstall all components of "Notebook" and reenter my Network/Internet Connect password and restart a couple times.
I have not encountered the problem running the same software on another Mac–an iMac Intel based running the same system but with a DSL connection.
The support people and user forum at the Notebook website have no ideas that seem to help.
I have never encountered this message in years of happy use of this machine in various places. Is it keychain related? Permissions? I have only a limited idea of how to troubleshoot these issues since they've never come up before.
Any help would be much appreciated. I really need to use the software both at work and at home to justify it's purchase.
Yours,
Rick Kesler

What is the website address for this Notebook
software?
The Notebook program is from a company called CircusPonies and there website is circusponies.com,

Virus Software Turned Off & Internet Connection Problem

My laptop has been slowing down, but it was fine otherwise. A few days ago, I turned it on and received warning messages from the HP Action Center and HP Support Center that my Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software was no longer on. I never turned them off and they've been working fine for 6 months or so, so it's not like I just installed them recently. Since the problem started, I've tried several times to turn them back on, but the computer just doesn't do anything. It asks if I trust Kaspersky and want to run the app, I click on yes, and then nothing happens. I've also tried to run the software by using the Kaspersky desktop icon, but that won't do anything either. The same time that this problem occurred, I also lost my ability to fully connect to the internet (DSL connection). I can get to the Firefox homepage, but whenever I try to get to any other website, even simple ones like Google, nothing happens. I've tried everything I can think of to fix these problems (except for using the refresh/restore option, which I'd like to avoid if possible). I've power-cycled the modem, run diagnostics and network checks, and I installed MalwareBytes from a USB drive and ran that scan, but it didn't find any problems. At the same time that these other problems began, I did see a brief notice that said that a Windows update failed, but I don't know if that caused these other issues or if it just failed because the other issues prevented the update. Kaspersky's tech support has not been very helpful. Does anyone have any suggestions? Keep in mind that I can't access the internet from the affected computer, so I can't download anything directly to it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Turn off "internet connection" on 3G

Hello,
I use a pre-paid plan on my iPhone 3G, and it's often that a friend click on something (or a app tries to connect) that requires a connection and takes most of the credit on my plan.
I only use the internet using the free wi-fi hotspots available in my area and not much often. So I turn it off to save battery, however when I turn if off it starts using GPRS using my paid credits.
So I would like to block the access, any idea?
Thank you all in advance.

You're welcome.
SMS messages are transferred via the same avenue as calls.
Blocking data access at the source for your account will prevent ANY internet functions with your iPhone unless you are connected via wi-fi. This will also eliminate the visual voicemail feature with the iPhone. All visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via the cellular network only.
Your cellular provider can block data access or internet access via their cellular network for your account, which is the only way to prevent any data access over the cellular network with the iPhone.
As long as you have cellular reception, the iPhone is designed to have an internet connection - via wi-fi or cellular, with the iPhone switching from an available wi-fi network that you have access to the cellular network automatically and seamlessly and back again.

Turning off Internet Connect automatic prompt

I have a Verizon Broadband Express wireless card for internet connections. I constantly have to turn off the prompt to start Internet Connect function. To try and stop this, I have gone to preferences and turned off the "Start internet connection when needed" function. It is annoying and distracting while giving a presentation.
PLEASE TELL ME how to get rid of this painful interruption.

FYI - this is the Internet and Networking discussions area for the iPhone only.

Internet connect "authentication failed"

I'm sure there is an easy answer, and I am overlooking it. I have verified my passwords and connection settings, per the help menu suggestions, still I cant log onto the internet in my OSX, I keep getting the "authentication failed" mssg. I can only log in when I am in classic. What am I missing???? Help Please. This is just a new development, in the last two days. I have always been able to log on before. It is making me crazy!!!

An authentication error is issued from your ISP. It means either the username or password is incorrect. Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. You should check with your ISP to determine if they have made changes to their login protocol or check to be sure you are connecting to the right site (using a bad telephone number or not having a good connection.) Also, be sure you have selected the right modem script for your computer's modem.
Are you using an Intel Mac? I ask because you have posted in an Intel Mac forum but your computer information says you are using a PPC iMac with Jaguar. You should be sure to post in the correct forum for your problem. I'm posing this because you said you are using Classic, but Classic is not available on Intel Macs.

New Intel WIFI Link Driver Randomly cut off Internet Connection

Two day ago I used ThinkVantage SYstem Update and installed Intel Wifi link driver (ver 13.01.1000). But since then my computer was randomly cut off internet connection, and the wireless signal strength icon on the system tray indicated no nearby wireless network. And then it powered off the wireless connection. Whatever I do, I cannot re-power on the wireless (I used Access Connection to power on the 802.11 wireless radio, but it could not be turned on and nothing happened) unless I restart the computer.
I thought it might be the router that malfunctioned as this problem never happened before. But after I checked the router and used another notebook to test wireless connection, I was sure the router ran very well.
Then I re-installed the TVT Access Connection (ver 5.61) and the Intel WIFI Link Driver (ver 13.01.1000) but the problem remained. Could anybody give a possible solution?
I also noticed on Lenovo's website, the Intel wireless card driver for T61 is v13.00.0000 Windows Vista 23 Oct 2009. It's lower than what I have now. Could that be the cause?
My ThinkPad T61 has the following configuration:
Model: T61 8897CTO
OS: WinVista Home Basic SP2 32bit
Language: EN
Wireless Card: Intel 3945 ABG
Wireless Card Driver: 13.1.1.1 (previous one was 13.0.0.0)
TVT Access Connection: 5.61
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi carlven,
Anytime when wireless driver is updated, Access Connections also needs to be reistalled.
Do this, first uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
When installing any lenovo driver manually, keep in mind they first extract themselves to a default location in C:\Drivers..., second .exe setup must be run from that location to successfully install the drivers.
Hope it helps.

Turn off Spotify Connect

How do I disable Spotify Connect?
If I've got my tablet (iPad) running the app, I definitely don't want my phone running it and draining the battery with the app running there as well.
Thanks
Edit by
I've just added a guide on ways of disabling Spotify Connect. Hopefully there will be a way of enabling/disabling the service at will in the future.
How to disable Spotify Connect
MODERATOR EDIT:
Hey everyone, Spotify staff here. Recently we updated the Community Idea "Make Spotify Connect a choice" with the status "Not Right Now".
If you've installed our latest Spotify app for Android (1.8.0) and you're still having trouble with battery drain please let us know right here.
We'd also like to mention these other Connect ideas which are a bit more specific to the Connectrequests you've made in this thread. Please leave your kudos and feedback in those as well if they apply to the reasons you'd like to turn off Spotify Connect.
[Spotify Connect] Less pop-ups when I change devices
[Spotify Connect] Don’t automatically synchronize what i am playing across devices
[Spotify Connect] Add access control on my Connect devices
If you don't see the idea you'd like to see, please feel free to make a new idea and post a link in this thread. We're keeping a close eye on your feedback and we're actively bringing it back to the right teams.

Hi... I have a problem with this as well - I find it incredibly annoying. For example, I was out picking up a pizza and listening to spotify in my car... When I got home my girlfriend began listening to Spotify on her cell phone - and my cell phone began playing music from it because my device was the last selected. If at all possible, I'd like there to be a feature to turn this option OFF entirely. I can't see it being logical to have this on by default. I enjoyed the option that stopped my device from playing completely when someone else was using the same account from another machine, hopefully you can bring this back because it totally makes more sense than the way it is now.
I don't like the ability with anyone who has access to the account to be able to play music on any device that has the app open as well. This can be quite embarrassing if someone accidentally clicks on your device, say, as you go into a meeting with your phone in your pocket and it begins playing "It's raining men" or something... I hope you can understand my sentiment! Again this can be fixed if you just gave us an option to turn this off entirely for any (or all) device(s).

Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

Is it possible to turn off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection modes so as to save power?

Hi buddy,
I have downloaded the user manual off Camileo S20 and searched a little bit but unfortunately I can find no informations about turning off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection. It seems that the screen is always on.
But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)

Can't turn off internet sharing

My brand new MacBook Pro has been working perfectly--until out of the blue internet sharing turns on everytime I boot up. I have never used internet sharing and certainly don't want to now, because I can't use my wireless network with it on.
My internet connection has been working flawlessly and I made no changes whatsoever (it simply was on once after booting up, and now is on forever), but I CAN'T turn off internet sharing. In my internet sharing preference panel it says that internet sharing is already off, but my airport menu bar says it is on. This is becoming most irritating. Any suggestions?

Are you sure this is not just a neighbour's wireless network?

Hi, is it possible to turn off wi-fi of my time capsule?

Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health. Therefore I would like to use wired connection and turn off the wireless feature of my time capsule. Please let me know if it is possible and how I can do it.
Still I would like to use the time capsule as a wired router and backup storage facility for my desctop.
One additional question - if it is not going to be possible to turn off the wi-fi, is there another alternative to turn off the time capsule reather than disconnecting it from the socket? Is there an alternative power cord with turn on/turn off switch? Any ideas?
Regards,
aldo7

Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health.
There will always be a silly article about anything... if you read it.
I can understand your concern, but Pastenague already pretty much summed up most of what I was going to say. BTW, I would not be surprised if that author is the kind of hypocrite who goes out in the sun all day, or hangs out in cigarette smoke filled rooms.
Electromagnetic waves are everywhere, man-made and environmental. After well over a decade of testing, it's never been proven ... all these 'scare claims' that tend to hit the media. I still remember what started it all, back when someone was diagnosed with cancer after shortly getting a cell phone, and he heard about someone else who had cancer and also had used a cellphone.
OMG... Therefore, cellphones MUST cause cancer, and the electromagentic waves are carcinogens!
They're still trying to prove that.
There are far more things to worry about health wise, than the EMFs.
BTW, in regards to that author, I have my own article to submit to them. And I can even back mine up with facts:
A study has shown that given a long-enough time-line, EVERYONE who drinks water in their life, eventually dies.
Another study has shown, that 100% of people who currently are diagnosed with cancer, have drank at least 1 cup of water in thier life-time.
Another alarming fact has been raised recently, that the harmful effects of water is not just restricted to humans. For example, a study of deceased adult cows at various farms, has shown that there was water-content in all their carcasses.
There is a strong lesson to be learned here. Stay way from water or any product bearing H2O at all costs!

Turn Off Internet

I am looking for an app or even settings that will turn off Internet access except via Wi-Fi .
Finding even if i am connected via Wi-Fi some applications ask for Internet access and saying Yes presuming they are going to use the Wi Fi connection they then proceed to connect via network providers internet charged connection .
Simple Internet via Network OFF .
Network Internet connection required then i have to actually switch it on .
jjegan

There probably is not. +Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G > Off+ will just turn off 3G - meaning the phone will use EDGE or GPRS instead of the faster network, but it will still use data. Not sure that you can delete the Cellular Data Network settings, either, as those are not accessible on a locked phone like mine. call your carrier and have them deactivate your data plan. But that defeats one of the main reasons for having an iPhone, IMO.

Is it possible to turn off a channel in DAQ?

I am using 4*PXI-6070E to acquire 64 channels simultanously. Is it possible to turn off one or several channels during acquisition? Which function or property node should I use? I have tried using property node "disable" in waveform graph but it seems didn't work. That channel is still running and the data is still here. Can anyone help me plz? THX a lot!

Once a set of channels are configured in a task and being acquired, you cannot reconfigure the task (add/remove channels) without stopping the running task
What you could do is to: Use array functions ( like index array) to create a subset of channels you require, from the set of channels being acquired

Is it possible to turn off a spot colour

Hello
Probably a dumb question but I will ask anyway. Is it possible to turn off a spot colour in CS4. I can effectively do it by creating a spot white and merging the spot colour I want to delete to the spot white using the ink aliasing. However, this leaves a spot colour in the high res pdf at th end of the job. This then causes a problem as we use an online proofing system which then fails the flightcheck as there is a spot colour in the pdf.
Cheers
Beeefcake

The spot colour is used so that we can perform a find on any text with a fill of the spot colour and delete it. The spot colour is put in for this purpose when the original artwork is created in the US.
Kathlene - I can't believe I didn't spot that! This would work! We could just convert the swatch to 0% cmyk as you suggest. The majority of the pages in the catalogue are on a white background so the pricing would simply disappear resulting in no spot place when pdf's are made. There are some pages on a coloured background but these are very few and the pricing could be deleted manually.
Thanks for the help!
