Turn Off AirPort and BlueTooth?

Is it possible to buy an MacMINI without AirPort and BlueTooth?
If not it is possible to ensure that neither of these devices radiate?
I can't stand wireless technology...
Strangely, the ultra expensive Mac Pro doesn't even come with these annoying "features"

Electromagnetic radiation falls off exponentially with distance (er, something like that) -- so sitting right next to a wireless transmitter 12 hours a days is quite distinct from walking past Starbucks.
A little scrap of paper in the packing material for your wireless router actually gives you an FCC warning to stay at least 3 feet away from the device. Not something particularly emphasized by the industry.
The point about mobile phones is definitely correct -- which is why I don't use one, and if I really needed to, would make quick calls or text, not keep it glued to my ear all day blabbing about celebrities and my boyfriend problem : )
The government also says its Perfect Save to live directly next door to a nuclear power plant, with cooling water running through a stream in your back yard. You'll find some property bargains if you're willing to do that.

Turning off wifi n bluetooth in windows

Thank you for viewing my post..will be glad if you could help..
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 13 and installed windows using bootcamp..
now i am faced with the problem of not having a way to turn off wifi and bluetooth..is ter an application for this or any other way?
please suggest

did you install all of the windows drivers from the system disk? if not, insert the OS X Install Disk 1 & run the windows installer that shows up.
the bluetooth & wifi icons should be in the system tray. all you should have to do is click on them or a right click (usb mouse), control click, or 2 finger click should bring up the menus & select to disable or turn off.

I changed my setting pon my capsule and turned off wireless... Now I can't "find" it again! Any suggestions?

The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
What version TC is it??
What OS are using and what version airport utility?

S400 unable to turn off wireless

Hi , I am unable to turn off or on wifi/bluetooth with the f7 key(alternatiely the wireless key). wifi and bluetooth are enabled always whch i feel is power consuming when not required. the key seems to be unusable.
netbook config is :
i3, 2gb ram, atheos ar9285 wireless lan adapter, atheos ar3011 bluetooth adapter
i have installed both the wireless drivers from lenovo support.
what should i do to correct this.

hi Pravinrajpaul,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're running Windows 8, pressing the Airplane Mode (F7) turns OFF both the Wireless and Bluetooth radio. If you want to turn off just the Blueooth though, you will need to do it manually by:
1. Opening Device Manager (press Win Key+X > choose Device Manager)
2. Expand Bluetooth Radios then right click > disable the blueooth adapter.
3. For the wireless, choose Network Adapters under Device Manager and right click > disable the wireless module or boot into the BIOS by pressing the One Key Recovery button and under the Configuration Tab, set Wireless LAN Support to Disabled.
Hope this helps.

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

Group Policy to disable ability to turn off wireless networking in Windows 8.1 Update

I am wanting to disable the ability to turn off wireless networking in our Windows 8.1 Update clients using Group Policy. We are a school that runs classroom management software enabling the teachers to view what the students have on their screens.
Students just switch off their wireless to avoid detection. I have searched the Group Policy listings and can't find anything.
Thanks.

Hi GeoffAUS,
I can’t find a direct group policy to disable the users’ ability to turn off the wireless network in Windows 8.1.
If we just disable the display of wireless connection, we will need to additionally disable the ability that disabling the driver in device manager.
We could try the workaround to use UAC to control the wireless connection.
Go to Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policy->Security Options, and set the option
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
Please make sure the computer automatically connect to Wireless.
For more information, please refer to the following article.

Turning off wireless sync

I have been trying to turn off wireless synchronization in my black berry ever since I got it.
When I go to the helpsection in my Blackberry Desktop Software program, it says
1. On you blackberry device, in the calendar application, Contacts application, Tasks application, or Memopad, press the Menu key > Options.
2. If necessary, click a calendar or contact list.
3. Change the wierless synchroization field to NO or clear the wierless synchronization check box.
4. Press the menu key > save.
NONE OF THAT EXIST ON MY BLACKBERRY!
I mean have all the applications but there are NO wireless synchronization check box.
There is NO wierless synchroization field! I can’t find any place where it says wireless synchronization on my blackberry. I can’t synchronize my calendar at all.
This is really horrible, what kind of stupid instructions does blackberry give out?
Has anyone come across this problem and is there a fix for it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

'Ello,
I have a BlackBerry Curve 9330 (v6.0.0.524, Platform 4.4.0.438). After installing the desktop manager software and attempting to synch my device with my pc, I received a notification that I must first turn off the wireless synchronization option on my BlackBerry. Okay, cool. But how?
Evidently with a headache. I tried following the directions from Research in Motion. I tried reading the user manual. I tried searching the web. I tried calling BlackBerry's customer service line to get a refund on the past two hours of my life I just wasted. But all of these attempts were in vain. You know why?
Because there is no "Wireless Synchronization" field, that's why.
I don't know how a company manages to give its customers false instructions or no instructions at all. I also don't know how I managed to waste yet another hour of my life on my BlackBerry. But after playing around with my phone, I figured it out. And now I will share with you lovely people!
So, assuming you already set up an e-mail account to be used with your phone, here's how to wirelessly synch your Blackberry Curve 9330 with Blackberry's desktop software:
Go to Messages on your phone. You can get there by either clicking the yellow envelope icon on the top of your screen or going into your apps and then clicking on the envelope icon.
Once you're there, scroll to the top and click on the date.
Click on Full Menu.
Go to Email Account Management (above Spell Check).
Click on your e-mail address.
Click on Edit.
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see Synchronization Options. Open it up and uncheck Contacts and Deleted items.
Save.
Viola! After following these steps, I could *finally* sync my BlackBerry with the desktop manager. Hope this helps!

Turning off Wireless on N8

I got my N8 3days ago. For now I'm very pleased with it and it works really nice and smooth.
Now, my problem is that I don't know how to turn off wireless network, and I mean turn it off completely. I tried everything that crossed my mind by I just can't turn it of. I go to Connections and turn it of, but it starts by itself automatically few seconds later (and I am talking about my home wireless network as well as wireless network in my office). Problem with this is that it drains battery during the time when I actually don't need to use internet at all.
So is there any way that wireless network can be stopped and then resumed when needed ?
I would be really grateful if anyone can help me with that issue.
If I've helped you in any way, a click on the White Star to the left would always be appreciated.
Solved!

Ok this is the issue. It is a bug in mail app. Mail apps just over rides the settings in your connections settings. The solution is Go to mail - settings - Your account - Synchronization - set fetch frequency for everyday. Then re start your phone. Some times your phone still connects to WiFi but this time when you turn it off in connections it will turn off forever. You may need to do it again and again some times because as i said it is a bug in mail app. ( I assume that the widgets are set to offline mode, and ovi sync settings is auto sync off they may also cause the connection)
It is simply a bug, if i turn off my WiFi in connections that should override all the individual app settings and gain the priority, but there are some apps like mail which gains the priority over the system settings. Hope it will be solved in the next firmware.
I have the same settings from the beggining and the wireless keeps connecting with a specific wireless access point, i have ten access points in my list and this happens only when im in the range of this access point.
My settings are
Mail App Synch: All Days unchecked, 20:00-20:05, None
Widgets in offline mode
No apps set in online mode
WLAN scanning turned off
The problem occured suddelny after adding that access point which is a common Thomson TG585v7 and it's hapening only with that acess point, it's very annoying because i have to change the security settings (like wpa key) to make it go in offline mode. I read in forums that others have also the same problem and the only solution is to move the AP, delete ot change settings.

Turn off wireless synchronization - Curve 9360 - Option to turn it off not present

I am attempting to synchronize my BB contacts to Desktop Manager v6 and it is advising that I need to turn off wireless sync. I have reviewed the forum and user manual however, I simply cannot see the option to turn off wireless synchronization. It is not present under the options. Please help! Thank you in advance!

Hello jamison2010 and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having issues synchronizing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone and the BlackBerry® Desktop Software.
You need to check the individual database that is being wirelessly synchronized. For example, if you are trying to do the USB wired sync with your computer and you get the message it is being synchronized wirelessly, you need to go to your BlackBerry Contacts then Menu>Options and select your contact list (most likely your email account).
If it is the Calendar then you go to the Calendar>Menu>Options and select the calendar list (which again, will most likely be your email account).
Hope this answers your question.

Turning off UPnP and keeping it off

How do I turn off UPnP and keep it off. I turn off UPnP and when I check it has been turned back on.

same problem here.
i have a time capsule.
symptoms:
excessively searching for network
but more often than not, it cant find the correct netowrk that is correctly stored in keychain
if i try network assistant opened through safari not finding its page, then it can find the right network after i enter in the password again. it connects. but only for a few seconds then it loses the connection again.
the only fool proof workaround for me is:
1/ shut down time capsule. restart time capsule.
2/ restart mac with airport turned off.
3/ after restart manually select the network from the wireless icon in the menu bar
airport utility is a complete waste of time
old airport utility is still better.

Wireless and Bluetooth ?

Does the airport extreme card have the bluetooth built into it or is the bluetooth a adapter?
Thanks

Let's take off the hardware representing Mini's Wireless and Bluetooth option:
This is the Wireless Interface Board, also referred to as the "mezzanine" card that provides and interface for making the Wireless and Bluetooth hardware work with the Mini.
Flipping the Wireless Interface Board over we can see the details:
Here you can see how the Airport Extreme and the Bluetooth module are separate modules. It is typically less expensive to purchase all three together in kit form.
If you have already ordered the Bluetooth option or the Airport Extreme option as a built-to-order option, you will already have the Wireless Interface Board and one of the other devices. You simply need to purchase this missing component, be it the Airport Extreme card or Bluetooth Module and have it installed.
