What "preferred network" do I use

In call settings there is a preferred network setting... Mine came default on "global" mode can I or should I change it to "CDMA" mode? Anyone know of a reason why I shouldn't? I live in Indiana and will not be doing any international traveling.

setting it to "CDMA only" should slightly improve your battery life, due to the GSM radio being turned off. If you're not traveling to other countries, definitely switch it to CDMA only.

What is the difference between LTE mode, CDMA mode, LTE/legacy 3GGPP mode, and Global mode in Preferred Network?

What is the difference between LTE mode, CDMA mode, LTE/legacy 3GGPP mode, and Global mode in Preferred Network?

Great question alczervik!
LTE- is our 4G network.
All CDMA/LTE Legacy are going to be related to our 1X, 3G/ EVDO network.
Global is GSM. Meaning you can use Internationally.
I hope this helps.

My childs ipod touch is missing, someone tried to reset the password around the same time it "Vanished" is there a way to track what WIFI network was used to make this attempt?    We think it was taken at her school and any small info would help!

Trying to find my daughters ipod touch, the last we saw it was around thursday and strangly I recieved an email that the apple id was attempting to be changed and or reset...this was not by me or my wife and my daughter is 7 so i dont think it was her...we think it may have been taken at her school but not sure so what i was wondering was is there a way to pinpiont the wifi network that was used to make this attempt??

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

Macbook Pro no longer auto-connects to preferred network

The title says it.
While my computer connects automatically to some (maybe all but one) of my preferred networks, it now does not connect, annoyingly, to the one I use the most often (let's call it NET).
I've triple checked that it's preferred and should connect automatically, and the computer remembers the password, so that if I manually select NET, it connects no problem. But:
a) It won't auto-connect to NET, and
b) If I turn my computer on, when it presents the list of networks to me, I have to wait for it to reload the list, cause if I click on NET originally, it doesn't connect, and I have to refresh the list and try again.
c) Figured that might mean that it's just taking longer to load the networks and is showing me a list before it's actually picked up on the networks, but waiting forever doesn't make it autoconnect; it just refreshes the list.
Any ideas? This is a huge pain.

No idea. You could try deleting the file
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
... and restart your Mac.
To find that file quickly, select the above path (triple-click the line), control-click to bring up the contextual menu, and select Services > Reveal. Drag that file to the Desktop, or directly to the Trash.
This will completely erase your AirPort network preferences, requiring that you select your Wi-Fi network and authenticate again.
What OS X version are you using, and are you using an Apple AirPort Base Station, or a third party product?

WiFi Sense Not Very Sensible - Preferring Public Hotspots over Preferred Networks

When I am out and about WiFi Sense is really good as it automatically connects to public hotspots and I only need to open a browser and press ok, etc.
However when at home I have BT and have set up my own WPA network connection but the router also has BT WiFi on it and even though I am connected to my home WPA connection and it is a "preferred network" and set to be connected to automatically
why does the phone keep disconnecting at regular intevals reverting back to the BT WiFi connection?
When the phone switches to BT WiFi the internet is blocked until you sign into a web portal so as a result the phone uses up all my data connection as it reverts to 3G/4G and also the push email stops working.
So is there no way that WiFi Sense could be more "sensible" and connect to my preferred network in preference to the public hotspot then only connect to the public hotspot if no preferred networks are available?
I have friends who have Windows Phones and BT internet and have the same issue as well.
Thanks

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

Wireless Connection - Can't choose 'By default, Join: Preferred Network'

Have just bought my partner a second hand PB G4
Am trying to get it to connect to internet and printer via airport to my existing (and working) network (G5, Airport extreme base station and ADSL modem)
On the network prefs pane of the PB the ability to select 'join Preferred network' is grey (says automatic) so I can't select the network I want
Same in Internet Connect
Airport is turned on but says 'no network selected'
Network status pane says internet sharing is on (it isn't) and is using airport to share the connection. Status light is amber
Probably fairly basic but very frustrating. Any advice appreciated
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Network status pane says internet sharing is on (it
isn't) and is using airport to share the connection.
Status light is amber
I think you may be a little confused here. Internet Sharing is for one computer to connect thru another. Let's say your G5 had two ethernet ports, one of which was directly hooked up to a DSL modem, over which it did PPPoE to your ISP. You could then use Internet Sharing to connect a second computer to the G5 via ethernet and use the G5's Internet connection.
I don't think this is your setup (although I've been very wrong in the past!). It sounds to me like everything is going wireless and the base station is the one with the Internet connection. So you don't need Internet Sharing at all.
What you need to do is to start at the beginning. Looking at Internet Connect, in the Airport tab, do you have a selection of networks? If you select your ABS, does it show good signal strength?

Preferred Network doesn't *stick*

Hi there. I have an ABS network set up, and have selected in all of my computers the network's name as the *preferred network*, however, whenever I restart a particular machine, it says that none of my trusted networks can be found. I then have to manually tell it which network to use. I've also set up each machine manually with its own IP addy.
Granted, this is mostly a nuisance, not a show-stopper. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I've since moved and no longer experiencing this issue, so I'm closing this post.

Sick to Death of "None of your preferred networks are available."

I have a MacBook Air and an AirPort Extreme base station which is roughly four feet away. Why is it that I am constantly being disconnected from my wireless network and seeing garbage like "None of your preferred networks are available." (when my wireless network is listed RIGHT THERE IN THE DIALOG BOX) and "connection timeout" after only 3 seconds when trying to reconnect?
I have tried all sorts of things: Deleting items from the keychain and recreating them; changing the channel number of my wireless network; adding SystemUIServer and Apple80211Agent to my keychain items for the network; you name it, I've tried it. And STILL my notebook with Leopard 10.5.2 can't stay connected to the network, and has a devil of a time getting reconnected. None of my other wireless devices (Xbox 360, Roku SoundBridge Radio, iPhone) has difficulty connecting or staying connected, so the fault obvious lies with Leopard.
Apple: *WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS?* I know that many, many others have run into this before, so it's not just me.

REALLY!
Yes, I've read all about the workarounds and fixes, none of which work to any great degree, and ALL of which should be UNNECESSARY.
Here's the thing:
*The main advertising thrust of Apple is that their stuff simply WORKS.*
The whole point of wireless access is to be able to connect anywhere it is available! If I can't take my laptop to Starbucks, then to Borders, then home, then to work and have it connect seamlessly (like it has, perfectly until now) then what is the point?
Especially since the MacBook Air HAS NO ETHERNET! This situation renders the MacBook Air utterly USELESS in about half the places one would try to use it.
Apple - SURELY this is not what you had in mind.
COME ON!
You are better than this!

Keep getting message "none of your preferred networks are available"

Whenever I start mny iMac running 10.6.3 I keep getting the message ""none of your preferred networks are available" and my wifi won;'t connect. This never happened before yesterday. Help! What do I do?

OK, well let's start. First thing to try is a SMC Reset Please read the instructions carefully as they cover multiple models of Mac's you want to use the one for Intel iMacs.
After you done your SMC reset please report what happened.

"None of your preferred networks are available" But they are!

This is the one problem that most bugs me with my MBP, i was hoping that 10.5.2 would fix it, but it does not.
I use my MBP on two wireless networks. They are both airport expresses with different SSIDs.
The first (work) is one airport express and my MBP will connect to it when ever it is in range happily. The second (home) is an airport express with another airport express extending the first. The only one in range on my laptop is the extension. Every time I wake the laptop it will tell me that "None of your preferred networks are available" and show the name of my network in the list - it has the password stored and has been told to remember the network... and yet it still refuses to connect.
Clicking the network shows that it knows the password as it displays it. I have rest both airport expresses and made the network from scratch, I have also deleted all references to the network in keychain and airport preferences, and yet it still does it.
There are a couple of other threads on this topic, but none of them have been resolved (That i have found) and they seem to have a slightly different problem to me, so I have posted my own question.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks.

I don't have the answer, I have the problem...
I'm also in one of the other threads about 10.5.2 messing up connection to my Apple Airport Extreme (melted marshmallow), but I also have the "None of your preferred networks are available" problem.
My network configuration looks like this: http://tijil.org/LAN_06.jpg
I have: Hard reset Airport, re-loaded firmware, re-done all settings, powered up and down numerous times, changed channels, etc. to no avail.
For me the Airport Base continues to work just fine with the other two computers connected to it wirelessly, but my 3 week old MacBook with 10.5.2 will no do so automatically, and once it does, even though the signal is strong and the S/N ratio is good, the connection is usually much slower than either of the other machines, has difficulty sustaining a large upload, and frequently drops out - for the MacBook only.
This did not happen with 10.5.0 or 10.5.1 and does not happen with the machines running 10.4.x.
The Airport Extreme Base is set to use 802.11b/g as one of the older machines can only handle 'b'...
I have MAC screening set up and also WAP. Network is NOT 'hidden.'
Airport Utility on the MacBook also has difficulty finding the base even when the MacBook is actually connected to it and using it to download mail. sigh
The problem is something that changed in 10.5.2.
Hope Apple gets this sorted soon!

What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique ?

What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique

Hi Plawansai,
I saw your question that is still unanswered.
I believe an advantage of using a passive monitoring technique is that it won't interfer with live traffic, as it does not inject traffic into the network or modify the traffic that is already on the network.
One drawback anyway, is that post-processing time can take a large amount of time with passive monitoring!
A combination of the two monitoring methods seems to be the route to go.

What is the Popup class used for

I always thought that a Popup should have some basic functionality, such as the pupup should close when:
a) the escape key is pressed
b) the popup loses focus
The popup class provides none of the above functionality and in     fact seems to require some obscure code to
even get the keyboard focus to work properly.
Using a JWindow seems to provide the same functionality as a Popup.
JPopupMenu seems to support both of the above requirements.
Run the following program:
a) click on each of the buttons
b) click on an empty part of the frame
It appears to me that whenever you need a "popup" you should use a JPopupMenu.
Is the Popup class good for anything? Does it provide any functionality that I am not aware of?

you'd use Popup like JPopupMenu does, via a PopupFactoryYes you can get the Popu from the PopupFactory, but I think you are missing the point of my question. Popup has two methods, hide/show. It provides no other funtionality. I must write code to handle the escapce key and close the popup when it loses focus.
When I use a JPopupMenu and add a component to the menu, it appears to add some listeners to the component to handle the escape key and loss of focus.
I think it's safe to say that you're right when you say that it's preferable to use
JPopupMenu (my experience as well).That was my conclusion, but I was just wondering it I was missing anything.
It turns out that there are used in tooltips which, by essence, don't need any
input from the user (whether keyboard or mouse) I guess thats what I was missing, only use a Popup in tooltip type situations.

What is the benefit in using OID for names resolution?

I have been wondering about this for awhile. I have been working on getting this to work in Iplanet along with Pat Lehane ([email protected]), and it works now.
What are the benefits in using OID for names resolution when you can just use the static tnsnames.ora. Database and database names are not created dynamically and they don't change that often. Would creates a new database every day and has to worry about changing the static tnsnames.ora file. In my environment, we run Oracle applications from a server, so there is only one tnsnames.ora file, on the file server.
It would appear that using OID would cause extra traffic (LDAP lookups) on your network.
I would like some opinions from both Oracle and Oracle users. Thanks

hi,
A benefit of using OID for names resolution is that it allows you to centralize net8 naming (i.e., tnsnames) information in the same place (OID) where other types of administrative information (about users, enterprise groups, enterprise roles, etc) gets stored. If you are more comfortable using tnsnames.ora files for net8 naming, that is perfectly fine!
An important reason that Oracle had for providing Net8 naming functionality in OID is that the legacy 'Oracle Names' functionality of Oracle 7 will eventually be desupported. This is discussed in metalink Note #135696.1 on http://metalink.oracle.com .
Hope this helps.

Can't start ... tried a bunch of things ... what about network startup??

Greetings and salutations all you helpful folks,
I am battling away trying to get my ibook G4 to start.
I have mounted it as a terminal and it works fine as that, and I have retrieved all the data that I need from the hard drive but now I would like to fix it and use it again.
So, I have tried running disk utility but it says that there is nothing wrong and the volume checks.
I have tried putting G4 OSX install disk in but it won't boot from the CD with the "C" held down.
I then have to use open firmware to eject the CD to try the next thing, whatever that might be ...
but when the computer is in terminal mode I can get it to read the cd in the drive just fine, but when it boots on it's own it just doesn't seem to want to do it. It does spin the disk and seem to read it but then I get a message that says that I need to restart my computer and so I do and nothing better happens.
So, on a whim I tried my G5 disks from my iSight. I don't know why, I'm just desperate. And it told me it couldn't install that software and would I like to restart from the network or the harddrive.
and this started some questions in my head.
This G4 is on a network with a G5. What does "network start up" mean? Can I convince this little laptop to use the G5 as it's startup disk? Would that work? Could that work?
Next question, I seem to have to problems starting up into Open Firmware/ Is there something I can do in that mode that might check out my drive and or repair it and/or get it to boot from the CD?
I really need this little laptop on my system. It is used by other folks for simple things like internet and mail and ordering and now that it is down they are fighting for my machine ... aargh!!
help? any help is reallly needed now. HOw can these drives be dead or non functioning when I can read them and spin them from another computer? I feel like this is just a software problem and I should be able to get by it ... but it has me stumped. not hard considering how much of a computer non-techno geek that I am. Just a user am I. And a frustrated one at that!!
smiles

wait wait I made a typo
I said it seems to have problems starting in open firmware ... but what I meant was
I seem to have NO problems starting up in open firmware ...
sorry
