New to Airport. How do you get get OFF of someone else's network?

Hi,
I am new to Airport which is included with the Mac Mini, so I don't know which Airport it is.
Under the Airport symbol in the menu bar, there is a network appearing and it is checked off. Does this mean that my computer is networked with this unknown person's computer? If so, how do I terminate the connection? Another network shows up briefly with a lock. I assume that their network is passworded. I plan to set up my own router in a few weeks and I will password the network. But what about these people who do not password their networks? How do I keep my info away from them?
Thanks!

I believe that since I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse, Airport must be enabled in order for them to work. Am I correct?
No that is not correct. The wireless keyboard and mouse use Bluetooth... not AirPort.
The other is the one that my Airport has locked onto, the one with the check mark, which is the one I want to know how to disconnect from.
From the AirPort menu, select "Turn AirPort Off".

TS1587 how do you open get into a imac intel

how do you open get into a imac intel

Up through the 2011 iMacs, getting into the iMac and replacing things was difficult but not at all impossible for the average person. OWC has some great video tutorials on how to open and work on an iMac. The 2012 iMac is considerably more difficult. Personally I would not hesitate to open a 2011 or earlier iMac if it was not under warranty. When mine is past warranty I may well replace the 256gb SSD with a larger one. A 2012 is still under warranty and frankly, I'd buy Applecare and sell it before it ran out of warranty. I got a 2011 refurb instead of buying a 2012.
If you choose to get into an iMac, be sure you have the proper tools and static discharge issues all set before you start.

Obviously you didn't search the forum prior to your post as there have been a lot of posters with the same question. Double tap on the home button as usual. Scroll left or right to select the app that you want to close and swipe upward to close it. The iPhone ios7 user guide is available online from Apple support and from the ibook store on your phone.

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause?
Before iTunes 11, a symbol would appear in individual podcast lists showing that the sender requires you to confirm that you still wish to receive their podcast. This used to occur with all my BBC podcasts once a week usually at the weekend.
Now with iTunes 11 this control seems to have disappeared. Tried all the new icons but nothing seems to do this.
Now (as its Saturday) all my BBC podcasts have stopped as there appears no way to reconfirm that I still want to automatically receive them.
Please help!

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.
