Tecra R950-15E - Need WiFi switched off by deafult

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and would like to ask a question whose answer
I was unable to find both on the web and here in the forum (at least with my keywords; please direct me if missed it).
For some time I own a Tecra R950-15E running Win7 Pro 64bit and am quite satisfied with it.
The only thing that bothers me a bit is the WiFi mode.
I know that by pressing "FN+F8" I can switch the wireless modes (WiFi and 3G) on and off.
It seems that by default the wireless modes are switched on after starting the system.
I'd like to have it all switched off by deafult (mainly for saving battery) and only switching it on manually when I really need it.
By now I have to do it the other way round by switching it off manually after starting the system and I haven't found a setting to change it to my preference.
Does anyone have an idea to fix that?
Thanks

Unfortunately that did not help. I de-installed all wireless software and drivers and then rebooted. First the system installed drivers automatically from the net, then I installed/updated with the latest drivers and software from the Toshiba site. It is to no avail.
Interestingly, after "only" rebooting (immediate re-start) it memorizes the setting, but after switching it off for the night, the next morning the memory is gone and the WiFi is again switched on by default regardless of former settings. I also tried the administrative tool with WiFi switched off by default there, but that doesn't help either.
Thanks

Need to switch off and on my apple tv v2 each time I want to connect my PC under vista

Hello
need to switch off and on my apple tv v2 each timeI I want to connect my PC under vista.
After that, everything is going well...
But it is not the best user experience ;-)
Any idea if this can be fixed ?
My PC is under Vista...
Thanks a lot

I'm having the same problem. It seems to have started after the most recent firmware upgrade. Does anybody know if Apple is looking into this? It's rather irritating to have to reboot the Apple Tv every time I want to use it!

Am using provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down bef

I am using 2 unit provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down before continue to charge my iPad mini again. Of course it will be 100% charge but must make sure the AC charger is cool down completely.
I feel that the provided AC charger that is not suitable for our charging on iPad mini.

I would book an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one nearby, to have it looked at.

Tecra A4 won't boot - switches off after 3 seconds

Hey all,
I really hope you can help me on this. Recently I bought a cheap Laptop Toshiba Tecra A4 at Ebay. It was said there is a hard drive defect only...it's not.
When I try to switch the laptop on the lamps go on and the DVD drive starts to spin..everything normal. But then after about 3 seconds it switches off before it can reach the bootscreen - like I would remove the power cable.
The very weird thing is that sometimes, let's say every 1 of 15 tries the laptop starts like it should and boots up from my linux live-CD. Then I can work for hours and nothing bad happens ... until I want to switch it on again. Then the game starts from the very beginning.
I already tried to:
- remove the defect hard disk
- remove the power cable only
- remove only the battery
- replace the RAM or use only one of the two
- to remove both RAM
- remove the power cable and the battery overnight to reset the CMOS
...nothing changed.
I would be very pleased if anyone could help me. So far I found only unanswered forum entries with that problem in the WWW - so at least, I am not the only one going mad :-)
Thanks a lot
Hans

I can't promise that this advice will be of any use to you but your symptoms seem similar to a problem that I had with my Tecra S3 when I tried to run it on battery only after an extended period (months) running only on its docking bay. I found that the battery was not charging properly and ceased to charge after it got to approximately 23% and would fail suddenly under use without giving any warning of battery depletion. When trying to restart the laptop, (before I had determined that the battery was faulty), I had symptoms similar to those you describe relating to shutting off before reaching the boot screen.
I would recommend you try running without the old battery present in the chassis, if the A4 will allow that. If that works for any duration exceeding the short limits you have been experiencing, I would try and temporarily source another battery (preferably with a provable 100% charge) from any source that you can manage. If this proves to be beneficial, you may need to invest in your own new battery. But if not you may have another issue with the physical connection between the power cable jack point and the battery (maybe a dry solder joint that is temperature sensitive). To determine that would probably require Toshiba hardware technical support, or at least knowledge of the motherboard circuits and some circuit testing tools. It could be costly as well.
The very least you need to be able to do if you can restart the laptop for any length of time is to determine the state of the battery using any tools you may have on your Linux live-CD. You might investigate the BIOS version of the A4 and see if that helps by upgrading the ACPI interfaces, but a BIOS upgrade could be risky if you can not get reliable power.
Hope that helps.

Restoring phone, need to switch off Find My iphone, but can't access phone

Whilst updating IOS7 my phone crashed. I reset it and successfully managed to restore to backup. Everything was working fine until it asked for a passcode. I entered the last passcode I was using but it won't accept it. I've tried to restore again however iTunes is telling me that Find my iPhone needs to be switched off before it will do the restore, and this is done via the settings on the phone - which I can't access because I don't know the passcode.

The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with this. Deleting the Find My iPhone app which is used to find another iOS device or Mac computer you own or for someone else to find their iPhone or iOS device with your iPhone does not turn off Find My iPhone with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Need to switch off Mac during TM backup

What would happen if TM was in the middle of a backup but I had to switch off my Mac (for whatever reason)?
Would anything get seriously messed up anywhere or is TM so clever that it'd just pick up where it left off next time I switched the Mac back on?
P.S. Am a PC convert and VERY new to Macs. The forums and help offered on this site is unparalled. Thank you.

fizzyfizz,
Automatic Stop and Resume
Never skip a beat. If your Time Machine backup is interrupted — because you took your portable on the road or put your Mac to sleep — Time Machine will simply stop backing up. When you reconnect to your backup drive again, Time Machine automatically picks up where it left off.

HT4060 Do i need to switch off my ipad to charge it?

hi
i just bought an ipad mini i was just wondering when i switch off my ipad and put it to charge it the ipad boot up to my homescreen. is it normal??

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because your iPad turns on to get the battery charged. You don't have to turn it off to charge it

Ipad1 losing wifi connection. Need to switch off/on the wifi in settings to reconnect

I having problems after updating to 5.1. The wifi continiue working on PCs so no problem related to the router. The coverage is good. The problem come out every 5-10 minutes. Any problem with 5.1?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

TS1398 Wifi in off and on mode: I have a problem connecting to my home wifi. Everytime i need to touch the wifi setting. I need to switch off and on again and again. Restarting my router does not help

Sick of this wifi issue in my iPad mini.

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my icloud account. I also have Find My IPhone activated. I tried to delete my ICloud account but first I need to switch off my Find My iPhone, to complicate this I can no longer access prev email account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend.

Do i need to switch off the airport express everyday?

i am concern about the airport express life span. does it affected by the fact that I never switch it off since the first time I set it up?

There is far less stress placed on an electronic component...and it will generally last longer.... if it is left on all the time... as compared to constantly powering it down and then powering it back up.
If you are going to be gone for a week or more, it might make sense to power the Express off in that case, to save a bit of electricity.
You may receive some differing opinions about this topic.

Iphone 4 hangs many times a day.needs to be switch off to reset.

iphone hangs a lot.it always needs to switch off to b reset.the problem started after updating to io7 .now running 7.0.4 with same issue.
any solution????????????'

Did you use a backup to restore the device after updating to iOS 7.0.4? What other user troubleshooting have you done except to power the phone off/on? The next step is a reset, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After that is a restore from backup, then if needed a restore as a new device.

Switching off changes tracking

Hi gurus,
I need to temporarily switch off the tracking when creating sales document with BAPI_ADMGMTSO_CREATEFROMDATA.
At the present time, whenever I create a new document, it is always tracked the creation of the document (see "display changes" for the object RJHAK in JHA1N).
I need to switch off this tracking in migration phase and switch it on later.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Friend,
You can de-activate change document update my choosing following via customizing.
in SPRO SAP Media->Advertising Management->Sales->Order->Client-Specific Settings->Control Order Update.
Double click on initiator "Order Update" and select option "Inact ch doc".
Hope this info is helpful.

Switching off notifications

Hey everyone,
Wondering if any of you can help clarify something for me.
I've switched off notifications through Notification Centre for all apps, but I've been told that this doesn't fully switch notifications off. Is that correct?
I assumed that when you switch them off through the phone's settings, they'd no longer push to your phone. Is that the case? Or do you also need to switch off notifications through the app itself? If so, what is the point of being able to move apps to 'Not in notification centre' in the settings?
I'm looking to save a little bit of data and imporve my battery life. Will moving apps to 'Not in notification centre' list assist with this? I understand notifications don't use much data, but they do use a little, and want to stop them doing so.
Ay help is greatly appreciatted.
Thanks

Looks like it's a mystery to everyone, not just me!?!
