Want to turn off Internet on certain Apps

I have always controlled my data usage data by turning off the internet on the apps that I don't want to run it like the games.  All of a sudden I can turn them off but as soon as I leave the screen they turn back on!  Help!

  • I want to turn off iMessage for certain contacts

    Is this possible?  Sometimes, I love never missing a text from certain people.  But for the majority, I don't need their texts going to my iPad, iPhone, Laptop, AND MacPro all at once.  It's annoying having to delete them on each device.

    Hi TimWB0216,
    You can use the steps in this article to block certain people from sending you messages -

    At this time the people who are blocked are not synced across devices, so you would have to do this on each device. Your idea about doing so sounds interesting, however. You may want to submit it as feedback to Apple. Use this website -

  • How do I get to the startup menu. I have 6 apps start when I power on that I want to turn off.

    I want to turn off some of the apps when my system starts up. There are about 6 apps, programs, that start and it takes too long for the mac to get going.

    Two possibilities: Open System Preferences, select Users & Groups, and right above your user picture you'll see buttons for Password and Login Items. Select Login Items. In the window pane you'll see a list of items that are selected for startup at login. Select an item you don't want and click on the minus button at the bottom of the pane.
    If any (or all) of the programs that are starting up don't appear in this list it means that these programs were running when you shut the computer down. In Lion, by defaul, any program running when the computer is shut down will automatically restart. There's a dialog box that appears when you select logout or restart which allows you to cancel this for that logout only. In other words, you much click the checkmark each time you logout/quit. I don't shutdown often and have an SSD so this behavior doesn't annoy me much, except at work where i don't have an SSD and I do shut down more often.

  • Can't turn off internet sharing

    My brand new MacBook Pro has been working perfectly--until out of the blue internet sharing turns on everytime I boot up. I have never used internet sharing and certainly don't want to now, because I can't use my wireless network with it on.
    My internet connection has been working flawlessly and I made no changes whatsoever (it simply was on once after booting up, and now is on forever), but I CAN'T turn off internet sharing. In my internet sharing preference panel it says that internet sharing is already off, but my airport menu bar says it is on. This is becoming most irritating. Any suggestions?

    Are you sure this is not just a neighbour's wireless network?

  • How do I turn off internet recovery in Mountain Lion?

    I need to turn off internet recovery in Mountain Lion. The reason is if you use internet recovery you can access safari and although parental controls are on, internet is unmonitored. I want to ensure my MBP is secure from the darker parts of the internet and thus I don't want there to be any unmonitored internet access.
    Is there a way to turn off internet recovery or is it hardwired into Mounatin Lion?

    Open firmware password may be the way to do it.   Mind you, a clever enough person can bypass that, but it takes more effort than it usually is worth.  Put a hidden camera in the room if you are worried something will happen, and backup the data only when you are present.  And if you forget the open firmware password, you may have locked yourself out for good anyway.

  • Turn Off Internet

    I am looking for an app or even settings that will turn off Internet access except via Wi-Fi .
    Finding even if i am connected via Wi-Fi some applications ask for Internet access and saying Yes presuming they are going to use the Wi Fi connection  they then proceed to connect via  network providers internet charged connection . 
    Simple Internet via Network OFF .
    Network Internet connection required then i have to actually switch it on .

    There probably is not. +Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G > Off+ will just turn off 3G - meaning the phone will use EDGE or GPRS instead of the faster network, but it will still use data. Not sure that you can delete the Cellular Data Network settings, either, as those are not accessible on a locked phone like mine. call your carrier and have them deactivate your data plan. But that defeats one of the main reasons for having an iPhone, IMO.

  • 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.

  • How do I turn off password protection for apps and keep them from downloading on all my apple devices

    How do I turn off password protection for apps on my Iphone4 and keep them from loading on all other devices?

    What do you mean by "password protection for apps"?
    To keep apps from downloading on a device automatically, go to Settings> Store> and turn off the things you don't want downloaded automatically.

  • Turn off Subscription product in App Builder

    Pro account user. We have a multi-folio app with auto-renwable paid subscription offers (monthly and yearly). If we want to turn off the Yearly subscription, is it as easy as "removing" this from App Builder subscription details page?
    Do I also need to re-submit the App back to Apple for approval?
    Do I need to do anything about the Yearly in-app purchase in iTunes Connect?
    Thanks in advance
    Tom

    1. Yes, remove the yearly subscription Product ID from App Builder.
    2. Yes, re-submit the app to Apple. (Enterprise publishers can take advantage of dynamic subscriptions to experiment with different in-app purchases without having to resubmit the app, but you mentioned that you have a Pro account.)
    3. No, you don't need to delete the yearly in-app purchase in iTunes Connect.

  • I want to turn off auto updating on my Mac 10.4.11 How do I do this?

    # Question
    I want to turn off auto updating on my Mac 10.4.11 How do I do this?
    When firefox tries to upgrade (without asking) it tends to upset my Mac's usual functioning.

    You can go into Edit, then Preferences, then Advanced, then update, and set your update settings there.
    Also, FYI, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-104-or-powerpc-pr https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-104-or-powerpc-pr]

  • How do I turn off the automatic check for update on opening Firefox? I want to turn off that "what's new" page.

    How do I turn off that automatic update that always brings me to the "what's new" web page? It was interesting the first time, but now it is just an irritation. I can check for updates on my own, so I want to turn off this feature. It just started up when I upgraded to Firefox 5. I can't find a place to stop it from checking and bringing me to that web page. Also, I can't stop it from checking add-ons every single time I open the browser.

    did you check the suggestions mentioned in the article i posted in my previous post ??
