With wifi on I get an automatic connection to a dead network. I need to delete it

I can't seem to find a way of not automaticly connecting to this no password network. It is dead and I have to turn of wifi to use both my Iphone and Mac book on the web.

Try this on your MacBook Air:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.

How can I get an automatic connection to wifi on startup?

We lost internet connection during snow/ice storm. I have to manually connect to wifi now. How can I get an automatic connection to wifi?

An 'uninterruptible power supply' that automatically steps in and takes your computer
off the grid momentarily, will work in cases of brown-out (under-power) & surge (spike)
and it does so at a fast rate. Most of these also offer a way to customize sensitivity to
a certain degree, depending on model and should there be a valid reason to do so.
An old-school surge protector, even if it has a few fancy LEDs, is no protection. And
for less than a replacement logic board or an hour of authorized Apple repair, the UPS
is a fairly good investment. Backup battery is user-replaceable in the better made units.
Most of them offer extra ports that do not use the battery-backup power feature. If you
need to have more items run when the power switches up/down or out, you'd need to
consider a larger capacity backup power unit. In some instances, the makers of these
(for a time, perhaps even now) did caution users to not install more than one UPS per
room when the same leg may have inadequate grounding, since these can dump the
excess surge power from several different UPS units and overload the ground.
That said, the gamble is yours. I've found to have and use these is some protection
and when away from the computer. Most settings for controlling them appear in OS X.
No additional software is required. Other settings may be on the UPS front panel.
Good luck & happy computing!

System Doesn't Automatically Connect To My Airport Network

My MacBook Pro (10.4.10) no longer automatically connects to my airport network (snow model). Airport Admin Util v. 4.2.3.
My wife's iMac also needs to manually find the network. This wasn't the case until recently.
Any suggestions?

Do you use AirPort's "Preferred Networks" setting when connecting to the base station?
If so, try the following:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
o Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
o Restart or log out then back in.

Keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files"

keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files", what can i do to help with this, i generally have only photos in iphoto, some imovies, and a small amount of documents

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

My Iphone 5 will not automatically connect to my wireless network

Each time I want to connect my home wireless, I need to go into settings and manually connect, rather than automatic connection, which is what happened with my i4s. How can I change this?

I downloaded and installed the latest software for the iPhone 5 (Version 6.1.3) - the version originally installed was 6.1.2. Same problem exists - iPhone will not automatically connect to my home WiFi. Even after I select my network and it connects. If I turn WiFi off and then back on again, it will not automatically connect. The iPhone screen states "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will have to manually select a network." How do I get the iPhone to work as specified above? Thanks.

MacBook Air will not automatically connect to my home network

Hi.
My new MBA has an issue. Every single time I open it, it says none of my preferred networks is available. I connect to my home network every day, but it refuses to automatically connect. All other computers at home do (MacMini, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac). I select my home network in the WiFi dropdown and it connects just fine. If I close the lid and immediately open it back up, it has already lost the home network connection.
The home network is first in order in preferred networks. Any ideas why this is happening? It's getting to be a pain...
Thanks.

Numerous threads on this issue in the MacBook Air as well as MacBook Pro forums. Unfortunately I've been unable to pinpoint exactly what's the issue, if it is machine specific or OS specific or a particular build of the OS. Mostly because I've been able to replicate the issue across 10.7.1 as well as 10.7.2 on a half dozen different models of machines.

I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access. Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

I need help. Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only. Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet. I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on. Picking up numerous with sites with the lock. Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad. If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?

Macbook pro doesn't automatically connect to my wireless network

I have set up my network preferences with my wireless networka the top of the list. This used to ensure I automatically connected, but now I have to manually connect everytime I wake my computer.

Box won't stay checked for my laptop to automatically connect to my wireless network.

I checked the box under "Wireless network properties" to "Connect automatically when this network is in range" but somehow it un-checks itself and then won't connect to my network until I re-check it again. The "un-checking" usually happens after
I put the laptop to sleep and then wake it back up. It also un-checks it when I restart my laptop. Any idea what is causing this to happen since it is very annoying. This doesn't happen with Windows XP...

Hi,
First, please try to update the network adapter driver to latest version to check the result.
Meanwhile, when trying to connect the Wireless network, please check the “Start the connection automatically” option. Then, when you trying to connect certain Wireless network next time,
it should connect to the Wireless network automatically.
Hope this helps.

Airport doesn't automatically connect to my preferred network

I had my hard drive replaced and ever since my airport doesn't automatically connect to my wifi network. I have specified my network as my preferred network in my system preferences.
I need to re-connect to the network manually (ie: I need to select my network form the drop down list) each time I wake my computer up from sleep mode.
How do I have my airport automatically connect??

Go to System Preferences then select the Network icon.
Select the airport adaptor then click advanced
the first tab "Airport" has all your recent SSID's listed.
Select the desired network and drag it to the top of the list and check the " Remember Networks this computers has joined."
Apart from that the next best thing would be to removed all the networks from the list and add that network you wish to join to verify its configuration

TS3899 I "cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed". Have tried deleting my e mail account and adding my account again but same result. Grateful for any suggestions.

I "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed." Have tried deleting my mail account and then adding again but still no mail. Grateful for any suggestions to remedy this?

I have this problem too. Anyone know why?

Touch wants to automatically connect to my neighbors network

Hi, I just changed my router wireless security to WPA Personal and now after I connect my Touch to my network it won't stay connected and when I wake it I find it is connected to my neighbors unsecured network. I click on the blue > button and click Forget this network, do the whole thing again then when I wake it it is again connected to that unsecured network. How can I wipe that thing off the map?
Thanks
