ATV2 shuts down wifi connection when sleeping

If I let my ATV2 go to sleep then about 10 seconds after that happens then I can lon longer ping it and Airplay stops being prrsented as an option on my iphone. I beleive it is shutting down the wifi connection as part of the sleep process.
Is there any way to ensure I can still Airplay to it whilst it is in sleep mode. This used to work but oddly stopped. I have tried upgrading to 5.2 but it has made no difference.
Does anyone have an answer or is there any way I can diagnose what is going on ?
Denis

Maybe the question is wrong. The ATV2 was also used to host a web site (lighttpd) and used to work happily whilst in sleep mode but that now no longer works, nor can I SSH to the device. Connecting via eithernet isn't an option sadly.
Seems the bonjour wake on demand does work, so I can use Airplay whilst the ATV is asleep and it wakes, but not anything to do with TCP/IP

  • IPad WiFi/3G dropping WiFi connection when sleeping

    Just recently, my IPad just started dropping it's wifi connection when it goes ton sleep, and it isn't automatically reconnecting. This is my home network, and previously it did reconnect on wake. I have open preferences and manually reconnect every time I wake the iPad.

    Ok. I am surprised I haven't heard this from you smart people:
    *The wifi problems are specific to certain types of routers!!!*
    Example: My Pad works like a champ at work. The router there is an old Linksys G.
    It works like crap at home. At home I have a newer Belkin N/G.
    That's why some people have problems and some don't: It depends on the router.
    So...My question is: What is the best router for an iPad?
    I'm willing to go out an buy it; I just want someone to tell me the best one!!
    Is it really necessary to spam so many threads with this?

  • I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and now I can't keep the wifi connection to stay on. I have to keep entering my wifi password when the phone goes to sleep. How do I keep the wifi connection when I wake up the phone?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?

    What? Do you work for Apple?
    I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.

  • My imac loses wifi connection when it goes to sleep, how to correct?

    My iMac loses wif connection when it goes to sleep.  How do I correct?

    Are you running OS X Lion? If so there are unfortunately numerous threads on here discussing exactly the same problem. So far there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution, with everyone hoping that Apple will come up with a permanent fix.
    Here's a quick search of these forums alone - depressing reading:

  • IMac shutting down, problems connecting to internet

    I have a 3-year old IMac that I am having problems with. The problems started gradually with trouble putting the computer to sleep, getting the grey film over the computer screen, telling me I need to shut down, and now when it's asleep, it will automatically shut down. When it is asleep, I have trouble waking it back up. I have to press the power button and re-start. Also, I have trouble connecting to the internet. It says "problems connecting to the internet". I have unplugged all cables, power cords, etc. and re-plugged everthing, and I still cannot connect. Any ideas?

  • Computer shuts down without going to sleep

    hello,
    i've had an increasingly swollen battery with a corresponding diminished life. to a point that it barely fit, lasted ten minutes on its own and when it became depleted, the macbook pro would just shut down without a warning.
    so i bought a new one and although it lasted about 2h30 on its first cycle, when it displayed the low battery warning, the computer shut down without going to sleep...
    tried resetting PRAM, and SMC to no avail.
    i charged it back up a bit and it shut down again.
    it's on its 3rd cycle and battery health already dropped from 100% to 94%.
    anything i can do?
    thanks...

    Are you sure it is shutting down and not going to sleep "permanently"? I say this because I have (and others) a somewhat similar problem but it's not shutting down, it sleeps forever:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1400708
    Also, I was going to suggest maybe your battery has died out, but you said it is plugged in, so probably not your battery as the problem.

  • Should I shut down my computer when not in use

    should I shut down my computer when not in use, overnight for instance?

    Hello! Leaving it on 24/7/365 is perfectly acceptable. You may save some electricity but personally I think you'll pay for it with a more troublesome system. I do however set the monitors to go to sleep. I like the no startup lag time of running 24/7/365. That said, if I lived in an area prone to electrical outages or if my location was prone to lightening strikes I'd probably shut it down and unplugged. Of course with it being unplugged the pram battery may run down. These old G4's have been running 24/7/365 for years now. I do try to restart every few weeks just for good measure! In the end it's your preference. The hardware works best when a constant temperature is maintained. Tom

  • MacBook will not shut down or go to sleep

    My MacBook is not shutting down or going to sleep.
    When I try to shut down: The desktop disappears as normal but then the plain blue screens appears (with the little circle down the bottom which spins (not the beach ball)) and it just stays there forever. To shut down I need to hold the power button for 10 seconds.
    When I try to put the MacBook to sleep by closing the lid: The light in the bottom right hand corner comes on but it does not "pulse" - suggesting it has not gone to sleep.
    When I try to put the MacBook to sleep using the Apple (top left hand) menu: Nothing happens.
    I am not 100% sure when this started happening, but I believe it either started happening after:
    a) The firmware update which was supposed to fix the "mooing" problem"; or
    b) One of the system software updates.
    If you need my current system/firmware version, you will have to tell me how to do this because I don't know how to find these numbers.
    This is really frustrating because I move my laptop around a lot so I would like to be able to use the shut down/sleep functions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    First couple things to check is do you have any external drives plugged into the Macbook? My macbook would sleep because I had an external drive that prevented it from sleeping.
    Also, check what's loading at Startup. There might be a program that's preventing this. Something that constantly needs internet access would cause this. Open up your System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items. See if something in there could be causing the problem.
    Hope that helps a little.

  • MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power

    My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power, even when fully charged. I took it into Apple store, Leicester, UK - battery diagnostic shows good condition so they updated the system but that hasn't worked. I'm running OS X 10.6.8

    Thanks! I've followed your suggestion and so far my MacBook has been behaving for the past few hours without being plugged into mains power! Fingers crossed...

  • Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 %

    Hi hello
    Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 % ?
    Thanks for your reply

    You can create a mailing list by using the "Groups" feature of Address Book. Simply select "New Group" from the File menu. Name the group, and drag the contacts you need into the group.
    In Mail, open up Preferences (under the Mail menu), and click on "Composing". Then make sure that "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is unchecked.
    The auto reply is a feature that is better done on your mail server, as you Mac can only send an auto reply when it is on, with the Mail application open. If you use dot Mac, you can set up a vacation responder through the web, and you can leave your computer switched off.
    If you really want to leave your Mac on when you are on holiday, you can set up a mail rule (Preferences, Rules).
