My wifi keeps coming on when i don't want it to. How do i disable it and keep it off?

kcquestions,
That's a very good question! It's important to be on the network you want to be on. How are you turning the wi-fi off? If you go into your settings there should be a wi-fi switch as the second option from the top. If we turn it off there it shouldn't come back on until you tell it to. If you select that and press the menu button (3 dots in the top right corner) you can also turn off "Allow wi-fi scanning" which can help not get notified of them when wi-fi is off.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • ITunes 8 keeps randomly opening when I don't want it to.

    I just downloaded the new iTunes 8 yesterday, and today while working on my computer, iTunes Randomly opens up when i don't click on it or anything. is there anyway to make this stop or how can i get the old version of itunes back?

    I have to agree. I've been using iTunes/iPods exclusively for listening to podcasts since 2008, and within the past year it's just gotten increasingly frustrating and confusing to use both iTunes and my iPod for this purpose. I just found this thread because my iPod auto-deleted a podcast that I'd only listened to for 10 minutes; and I don't want it to ever delete podcasts without my consent. Truly infuriating.

  • Every time I connect my Droid Maxx to my computer, it tries to install a Verizon Software Updater.  I don't want this!  How do I disable it?

    Topic says it all.  I don't want more junk on my Win7 computer.  I don't want more junk running in the background.  I'm not an idiot.  I can decide for myself whether I want to upgrade my system or not.  This installer crap is unacceptable.  There must be a way to disable it - every - time - I connect my device to my computer for charge & storage.

    Thank you so much.  I'm so new to all this.  This answered my question.

  • Internet Explorer keeps braking in when I don't want them. Very irritating. What can I do to stop this brake in?

    I am not any web site, but on line, and suddenly Internet Explorer pops up with a different advertisement every time. Then they say page can not be connected. This happens quite frequently when I am not doing anything on the computer. It gets very irritating when I am working on a document to just print out and not email. Then when I am quietly listening to music, another Internet Explorer ad pops up with a talking video. What can I do to eliminate Internet Explorer?....Thanks.....Terry

  • What is :  walletagent://Safari  keeps coming up when 'logging in' any website

    what is :  walletagent://Safari ?  it keeps coming up when 'logging in' any website. I then have to "page back" and enter passwords again etc.  I know it has nothing to do with "Wallet" Software. So where does it come from? and how get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    <Email Edited By Host>

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

  • My old Apple ID keeps coming up when I am trying to update my apps.  When I go to settings, it shows my updated id.  How can I fix?

    john

    Apps and other stuff you download are always linked to the ID you used to download.  You need to update the app with the ID that you used to download the app in the first place and the password for that ID

  • Stor.e TV+ No Loader error keeps coming up when switching on

    I have been experiencing continual problems accessing the hard drive. "No Loader" error message keeps coming up when switching on.
    The so-called "solution" to this problem posted on this forum is to open up the box and fiddle with the cables. Whilst I have had some success with this method initially, dismantling the box 10 times a week is not on.
    I tried something else in desperation.
    When the No Loader message comes up, I switch the box off and on again from the remote.
    After 2 or 3 times or so the HDD folder usually appears.
    I have been doing this consistently now with great success. This however suggests that the No Loader error message is NOT a mechanical connector problem with the hard drive but (as usual) poor software (what else?).
    Dismantling the unit is tantamount to switching it off for an extended period of time so may explain why this technique works.
    Switching the unit on and off several times also solves the problem of the D folder not appearing on the network even though Win7 shows Store-TV-Plus as a mapped NTFS drive (but can't find the D folder).
    See the similarity?
    Another thing that exacerbates problems is the unit's poor ventilation. The first thing that happens with this unit is that the rubbish stick-on rubber feet fall off.
    Whilst this may seem innocuous, the ventilation slots are underneath the unit and will be blocked if there are no feet. I live in a hot country so this device gets pretty hot and behaves even more erratically unless well ventilated.
    Ideally keep it well away from other units and preferably sit it on a small box by itself with the vents underneath well exposed.
    I also still experience problems playing FLAC and MKV files. The unit occasionally loses synch with FLAC files which generally otherwise play OK and locks up or causes loud bangs or white noise on the speakers (dangerous).
    Some MKV files just don't play at all even though VLC plays them. There are a myriad other inconsistencies but these are the most annoying.
    Is anyone else experiencing these problems or does anyone have any other solutions to prevent these problems?
    I don't suppose we can expect another software upgrade from Toshiba? In your dreams, pal.

    OK, so I took the risk and updated the firmware of my Stor.e TV+ to the Noontec V8S latest firmware V3.0816.13_V8S from noontec website.
    The update went fine without a hitch (took about 2 minutes from an old 256MB flash drive plugged into the back USB port of the unit, which I formatted before using), and some of the irritating shortcomings of the Toshiba firmware was solved. Samba worked in some fashion, but I was still not able to download songs directly to the Stor.e over wireless, which is the only other feature I currently need. The irritating remote control buttons were changed to the way any sane person would use them (I had changed my universal remote control to correct this, so would have to change the settings if I kept the updated firmware) The new firmware seems solid, but I DON'T USE THE VIDEO CAPABLITIES, so I can't comment on this.
    One major drawback of this update for me is that the small display on the unit becomes much less readable. Seems like there is a problem with the font on the new firmware. I use my Stor.e exclusively as a flac music player, and since I don't have it connected to a tv the small display is crucial for me to select tracks or disks. I have 300+ discs, so the Stor.e is an excellent cheap media player which I connect to my HIFI system via a DAC.
    I thus had to change back to the Toshiba firmware to correct this problem. Seems like I would still have to use USB to download music to the Stor.e when I buy new CDs. What a pity.
    Incidentally, the new Toshiba firmware is very much like the old firmware, in that it lacks the capability to switch on Samba. In the readme Toshiba states that the new firmware fixes a network problem, but I think that this is probably the smallest issue most users have with the Toshiba firmware.
    So, my advice to anyone having video, control or other issues with the Toshiba firmware is to flash to the Noontec firmware to see if it resolves their issues. If it doesn't one can always revert to the official Toshiba firmware as I did.
    You do this at your own risk though, if you brick your unit don't blame me...

  • "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase?

    "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase, 3 songs from the album came through but the last one is having problems. I've refereed to the itunes store FAQ and tried the solutions provided, but still not working?
    The firewall on the mac is turned on, however I don't have any Web Accelerators, Ad Filters and I've just recently uninstalled my Virus Protection Software.
    I'm not sure how to go about fixing this problem, and the solution provided by Apple doesn't seem to help me at all.
    Does anyone know? Thanks in advance! (:

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

    I'm pretty sure this is an Apple thing and you can't do anything about it. To get rid of the notification just do as it asks then try to forget about it.

    Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over.  How can I fix this message?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
