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).

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!

Mail turn off SSL connection isn't possiple

Hello,
I update from 10.7.4 to 10.8 here and I have a big problem in Mail now:
I use a private IMAP server without SSL connection.
In Mail from 10.7.4 works this fine, but in 10.8 Mail would like a server certificate and an can't turn off SSL connection for the smtp server.
What's the problem?
Anybody can help me?
Sorry for my bad english :-)
Greetings, Bernd

I found a kludge:
Go in SMTP server setup -> Advanced and enable the option use costum port and fill out a port number (exp. 25).
Mail don't ask to an certificate anymore.
I hope, Apple remedy this problem in an 10.8 update.
Greetings,
Bernd

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.

My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

My iphone 3g is stuck on the apple logo and wont even turn off, or connect to itunes. what do i do?

My iphone 3g is stuck on the apple logo and wont even turn off, or connect to itunes. what do i do?

I've got the same problem.
I wanted to download the new itunes version for iphone but it got stuck. I had no choice but disconnecting my iphone. Then I couldn't sync it anymore.
I switched off my phone by holding down the sleep button but it has never successfully switched off. The round thing still turns.
I've tried to connect it back to the itunes. This is the error message I get: itunes can't connect to the iphone. Code 0xE8000065. I tried to find out what error message this is but the apple support site I saw didn't mention this error code.
Can anyone help? Thaaanks!

My iPod Touch will not completely turn off or connect to iTunes

I disconnected my iPod and did what you are supposed to do to turn it off. The little thing that circles round and round before it turns off all the way will not stop. It won't turn off no matter what I do. iTunes says it cannot connect to my iPhone (it is an iPod Touch) and that there is some kind of error. I went through all of the troubleshooter steps including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. What should I do? Will it fix itself when the battery finally dies?

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes? For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
For the future. saying:
"I went through all of the troubleshooter steps"
Really provides us with no information since we do not know what steps you are referring to.

Can't turn off after connect to PC or Camera

I have an iPod Video 60GB Model MA003ZP which I bought in November 2005.
My iPod always have problem that everytime I connect my iPod to PC or digital camera (via camera connector) and then I disconnect it (waiting the icon do not disconnect to disappear first).
After I disconnect my iPod, I cannot turn off my iPod immediately or even I tried to reset iPod, I still could not turn it off.
From my observation, everytime I disconnect my iPod from PC or camera, the harddisk will keep moving or busy about 5 mins after disconnect. And then when the harddisk stop, I will be able to turn the iPod off.
I compare with myfried iPod Video 60 GB Model MA1XXX, it do not have the problem like mine.
I go to the Mac shop that I bought they suggest me to update software from 1.0 to 1.1. I did it and the problem is still there.
Is it the harddisk problem on my model? Hope support team can help me.
Video 60 GB, Model No. MA003ZP

Sounds like a similar problem to what I've had. After importing photos thru the camera connector I've had major problems that I'm still trying to solve... my ipod wouldn't play any music, it kept skipping everything and taking a very long time to respond (it took a good 60sec to turn it off). It also used all the battery in about an hour (and was fully charged to start off with). I went looking for the photos to delete, but they didn't seem to exist! Got the thing home, charged it up and managed to delete the photos. BUT, ipod will skip first 4-5 songs before deciding to play something, is **** slow to respond and keep eating thru the battery. any reason for this madness and any solutions apart from restoring it (computer hard drive rebuilt over xmas, and no back up of course...)

MY MAC TURNS OFF AFTER CONNECTING MY IPOD SHUFFLE

Every time I connect my ipod shuffle to either my macbook pro or Imac, the computer shuts off. Can anyone assist me with this issue?

Hello bjc, 3418,
It sounds like your iPod is causing any computer you plug it into to turn off unexpectedly. If you've already tried a different usb cable, I would reset the iPod and test it again.
Resetting iPod shuffle
Then if the issue persists, it sounds to me like that will need service to fix this iPod:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Wifi turns off when connected to mobile card, but wont turn back on

I have a Sprint wireless internet card. When I connect to the mobile card, the Wifi radio turns off. I'm fine with it turning off while I'm connected to the mobile card, but the problem is that it wont turn back on when I disconnect the mobile card. If I try to use the button or other basic on/off switches in windows to turn it on, they wont respond. The only way I can get it back on is to run a troubleshoot, which shows that the radio is disabled and asks if I want to apply the fix that will turn it back on.
I'm on a Toshiba Satellite A665-S5170, Windows 7 (64), in the U.S.
Thank you.

Hi
So does this also happen if you dont connect the notebook to external monitor? So you can determine what is causing this problem.
If the notebook doesnt shut down without external monitor you should try to update the BIOS and display driver. Both updates you can find on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Do you close the lid if you have connected the external monitor?
What OS are you using?
Furthermore it would be interesting to know how you cleaned the notebook. Therefore I use compressed air spray that can blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators and you must not disassemble the notebook.
Bye

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.

Turn off fast connect

How do I turn off the xfinity Fast Connect reminders/windows that show up every time I turn my computer on? I do not want to sign up, so that's not an option.

So, can I transefer 1920x1080 footage shot on an AVCHD camera into ProRes Proxy ~7MB/s per stream (how would I do that, stream clip?),
Once you have Final Cut Studio, you'll have the ProRes Proxy codecs. You should be able to translate your files to ProRes Proxy within MPEG Streamclip. If that doesn't work export regular ProRes from Streamclip then use Compressor to make the Proxy versions. There is a Proxy preset in Compressor to do the conversion.
store my media onto an external HD (can I just use any external HD?) that is connected to my iMac via firewire
You need an external drive that connects via FW800 and is designed to work with a/v material. Caldigit, OWC, iStorage all come recommended.
edit this footage on FCP without my computer slowing down to a crawl?
Can't answer that directly. The only way I can say with certainty the machine will work is if you were to be working with a MacPro with an eSATA array.
I really need a solution, but if I spend 1K and it's not fixed, my wife will have my head.
Is she the producer?

IPhone won't turn off or connect to wifi

I have the iPhone 4S and recently I have been encountering many problems with it. I don't know if they are problems with the hardware or the software but my facetime hasn't worked in a long time and my phone hasn't connected to wifi in the past two months. Sometimes the wifi turns off and the bar to turn it back on is dim while other times it turns on but doesn't acknowledge anything to connect to. In addition to the wifi troubles, occasionally my phone screen will turn black for a little while and after some time it will just wake up. The apple doesn't show up so I guess that means the phone isn't turning off- just sleeping. Also, sometimes my apps won't load and then my phone will automatically turn off. Occasionally, my touch screen stops acknowledging the fact that I'm touching it and other times my phone won't turn off. I hold down the power button and the phone just goes to sleep. As you can probably tell, my phone has been malfunctioning a lot and it is starting to get annoying. I don't want my apps to be deleted because I have some that are no longer in the app store and they are very valuable to me. My computer storage is too full to back up my phone though. Any suggestions on how to solve my problem without deleting my apps or any of their saved information?
Thanks,
A frustrated iPhone owner

Hard to tell. However, since the iPhone does not have user serviceable components, once you opened the device, you forfeit any warranty or post warranty support from Apple and the forum. You are going to have to try and figure this one out on your own.

My Iphone turned off while connected to my PC, it shut down, how do I turn Iphone on?

Hello
The Iphone 4 was connected to my PC and it gave me an error. I was on low battery too. I held down the POWER button to shut it down, then the looping/loading circle keep spinning. I then proceeded to hold the power button and the home button together...and the Iphone turned off.
I don't know if I put it in DFU mode or not at the time. I didn't know what I was doing.
Solutions I have tried, but didn't work:
1. Hard Reset Mode: Held Power Button and Home Button for 15 seconds. Released the Home Button and I continued holding the Power button for 15 seconds-1 minute. (at least 20 tries)
2. Recovery Mode: Held Home button for 3 secs. Plugged USB Connector from PC to Iphone while still holding the Home button for at least a minute. Recovery mode didn't show up.
3.Tried restarting with computer with Iphone plugged in USB. Tried different USB ports on my computer as well. No luck here either. The USB cable is fine, because it charges my brother's IPhone.
What else can I do?

First, make sure the phone is charged. To reset the phone, you'll have to hold the sleep and home button for at least 10 sec, ignoring the "slide to turn off" message, and not let go any button until the Apple logo comes up again.
Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
DFU mode here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0
