Networks WiFi my phone was Show up in the list of MacBook

I just noticed this today. To anticipate a question, iCloud Keychain I turned on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iPhone.

What I see is that, on the (current execution 10.11.5) MacBook Pro in system-> network-> wireless-> Advanced preferences, there are networks listed there that the MacBook was never on (or even close) but my iPhone has served. More, if not all of these networks are not password protected, so I don't know if the keychain is involved - in any case, I don't see any networks appears when I look at the app Keychain Access on the MacBook.

The question is: is this expected behavior?  Managed in iCloud somewhere?  If so, could someone point me to some documents so I can control the behavior?

Thanks in advance!

The question is: is this expected behavior?

Yes.

Managed in iCloud somewhere?

Yes.

If so, could someone point me to some documents so I can control the behavior?

There is a large amount; a few follow below. I don't know what behavior you want to order. If you ask why Apple believes that it is advantageous for favorite networks sync on all your devices, including desktop Mac that are not likely to be moved often (or at all) I do not have the answer.

If you don't want a Mac desktop (or any other for that matter) to join in specific networks, so you can deselect specific "preferred networks" in system preferences > network > advanced. Deselect the option "Remember networks this computer has joined" and / or select "ask to join new networks."

  • How to add 'show all' to a list of values

    I have a page element (P10_AIRCARRIER), which is a list of selection - and the list of values is a standard query:

    Select faa_name display_value, faa_code return_value
    table

    The report based on the selected in the select list, faa_name is filled.

    It works fine, however the client would like to add 'Show all' to the list of values in the select list, so that if this field is selected, the region of report presents data for all air carriers instead of one.

    Can you please indicate how I would do that, as Im not able to add the value "show all" at the table.

    Im running 4 Apex.

    Thank you
    Laura

    Change the query to:

    select faa_name display_value, faa_code return_value
    from table
    union all
    select '- Select All -', null
    from dual
    order by 1
    

    Assuming that faa_name values sort after "- select -", it will be the first entry in the list. (Changes should be fairly obvious to other requirements...)

    In the report query, the following expression correspond to a certain faa_code, or if "- select all -" is selected:

    ...
    faa_code_column = coalesce(:p10_aircarrier, faa_code_column)
    ...
    

    (Use to_number(:p10_aircarrier) if the faa_code_column type is NUMBER.)

  • I have wifi and I was wondering if iphone 6s could deliver internet content via apple tv using the wifi phones?

    I have wifi and I was wondering if iphone 6s could deliver internet content to my TV via apple tv and the phone wifi

    You can use your phone's hotspot to connect your Apple TV, but you would not be able to use airplay to distribute other devices. You should also check with your operator on the terms of your plan, even if you have unlimited data, it will usually be strangled after a certain threshold, and they do not usually allow for this type of use.

  • Airtel 4 G (Huawei Mobile Wifi) Hotspot is not showing network on EL captain

    Hello

    I just bought an Airtel 4 G model Hotspot(Huawei Mobile Wifi) E 5573. There are 2 ways to connect this model to my macbook pro which is running on EL CAPTAIN 10.11.2

    1. I can connect this modem wifi with the supplied USB cable. In this case the internet arrives on mac and it works well

    2. Another way is to use this modem as a WIFI router. Now for some reason any my laptop does not show this network in the wifi networks list. The network showed on all my other devices such as Iphone, Android, iPhone and Windows pc but not on mac. Surprisingly, it shows on my friends mac but not on mine.

    Can help understand what can be done so that I can see this network appears in the list of networks.

    Thank you

  • Ranging from network WiFi problem

    My current installation (works perfectly!) is:

    -Airport Extreme (connected to a MacMini Server OSX)

    v

    Airport Express (WiFi connection to the EPA as an extension of network)

    Various devices are connected, air-conditioned and equipped with DHCP (Mac code) reservations, including the Airport Express.

    I need to install another (new) Airport Express to extend the network in a room where I have very limited it WiFi reception.

    Problem is that the new AE is not recognized by the Airport utility.

    At first, I thought because of DHCP reservations so that I plugged the EA directly to the Airport Extreme.

    Bingo: the Airport recognized the new AE utility, allowed me to update the firmware and did the configuration. Of course, as a wired connection. I was able to get the Mac address of the AE again.

    After all this was done I disconnected the new Airport express, has made a necessary DHCP reservation for the new AE and tried if now, it connects to the WiFi. N °

    Only the orange light flashes.

    Airport utility is showing the "old" set-up works perfectly (green dot) and the 'new' AE still cabled to the Airport Extreme, but with the message that it cannot find the device allowing me to 'forget '.

    What I am doing wrong?

    I need to install another (new) Airport Express to extend the network in a room where I have very limited it WiFi reception.

    Can confirm you that the AirPort Express Terminal will connect back to your main AirPort Extreme to extend the network? We ask this because Apple won't allow the network be extended twice.

    Another way of saying the same thing is that you can have more than one airport, extend a wireless network, but each extension must be connected to the 'main' airport, not to another airport that is already set up to expand the network. This means that each extension would be at about the same distance from the main airport... and... ACH Extender must be closer to the main airport rather than another airport that already is the extension of the network.

    What I am doing wrong?

    At this point, you configure the new extension unit to connect using a wired Ethernet connection, so the Express is programmed to expect a wired connection. When you remove the Ethernet cable, the Express can't find the link that he had been informed to use logging by using Ethernet.

    The bottom line... implement you the Express way will connect to the network. If you want the airport to connect using an Ethernet cable, you set up this way.  If you want the airport to connect wirelessly, you cannot use an Ethernet cable to implement the Express.

    But, first of all. We need clarification on the first question above... before... we approach overall to the top of the new Extender.

  • How can I configure the order of networks wifi on my iPhone 6?

    I was browsing the Internet and looking for throughout my general settings but I'm not able to find a way to configure the order of networks wifi on my phone, as I can with my MacBook Air (via Network Preferences > advanced > tab Wi - fi). I had to do a reset to the factory on my router settings and now my iPhone automatically connects to another wifi network in the building which is distant; and, as a result, poor reception. He will also choose my device Chromecast before my own router, so I have to go and manually choose my router every time.

    Is my only option to "forget this network" for the device Chromecast and the other network wifi. Therefore, to move my router plus high in the list (and then add those two later, put further down in the hierarchy list), or y at - it a simple way to just change the order? Thanks for the help.

    Settings > Wi - Fi > select the network to which you want to connect, enter the password.

  • Do you need to be on the same account of WiFi for phone and Mac that allows you to delete photos?

    When my Macbook Pro is on the WiFi and my iPhone 6 s + is on cell phone, I noticed that if I delete the photos within the program of Photos on my Mac they do not get deleted from my iPhone. However, a few hours later when I get home and check my phone, and I'm on Wifi for both devices, the photos have disappeared. Do you need to be on the same account of WiFi for phone and Mac that allows you to delete photos?

    Thank you.

    Devices can be on different wifi networks.

    Your question is that the phone will not be synchronized using cellular data and will wait until it connects to a wifi network, but this can be any wifi network.

  • HPJ610a Deskjet 3050: Join the network wifi through router new Deskjet 3050 HPJ610a

    I moved into an area of network connected to fiber (NBN Australia) and installed a new router D-Link DIR - 850L.  I was unable to connect to the router using WPS.  I had to buy a HP Envy, which connected wtihout difficulty.  I just upgraded my router to a TP - Link Archer C9, with a richer control interface, so I tried again to connect my Deskjet 3050.  Once again, no luck.

    I read a number of posts about this, and they all back down to the re-use of your installation of the printer software.  The problem is that the software driver for OS X El Capitan comes from Apple and is already up-to-date. I am able to run the printer when it is connected by a USB cable, so if I could work out how to emulate an installation, I might be able to get connected.  Is it possible to do this?

    Hello

    Sorry for jumping in, but the steps in Mac OS X are in fact incorrect.

    In System Preferences, select Printers and scanners.

    Double-click the listed USB printer, and then select the printer settings / Options.

    Open the Utilitiy tab, and then click Open Utility.

    In the screen, select Convert to wireless and follow the on-screen instructions to connect the pritner to your wireless network.

    Note: If no option appears, click the top phone menu and select Connect a new printer, and then follow the steps by choosing a wireless connection.

    Kind regards

  • Why is there phone duplicates showing app in recent tab

    I see the duplicates for each phone call I receive in the recent tab since the upgrade to iOS 9.3. We show you in black text and the other in red. I googled to my heart's content and found zero matches for something like that. My wife and daughter do not have this problem and they are running iOS 9.3 as well. We have all our own Apple ID. I had a friend call me in my contacts as a test and it showed once.

    I have the same problem. I'm having a recently missed call, then a few moments later, there will be two entries for the same exact time stamp and my phone never rang once.

    I suspect this may have something to do with iCloud, attempt to synchronize the history of calls between all devices and not realizing it is already there. But between my iPhone and iPad, MacBook Pro  watch, I have no idea which could feed on the info through.

    Edit: When all your ring of devices and you meet one, other devices reported the call as "Miss." Then, this info is read in iCloud to synchronize and so you get two entries.
