Auto disable WiFi and Bluetooth while on battery

Does anybody know of an application or if OS X Snow Leopard can auto disable wifi and bluetooth whilst I'm on battery, and then auto turn them on again when I'm plugged in to the outlet?

Perhaps this could be done with an AppleScript (you'd have to write it) but i do not know of any apps that can do this. It is not an option in the Mac OS anyway. If both the bluetooth and airport icons are shown in your menubar it's only 4 clicks to disable/enable them both though.

IOS 8.1.2 breaks Wifi and Bluetooth on iPhone 4s

Since I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS 8.1.2, i am unable to use wifi or bluetooth.
My wifi button is greyed out and I cannot turn it on.
Bluetooth will just display a spinning wheel when i turn it on.
I have tried resetting network settings twice, multiple re-boots/re-sets. Toggling Airplane mode. Turning off iCloud. All to no avail.
Just to be clear, this is not an intermittent issue or a slowdown or anything like that.
IOS 8.1.2 has completely disabled wifi and bluetooth.
Anyone else having these problems or got a resolution?

Yes, but first time in the several years to have a problem. Using Outlook on Mac with MS Exchange Server. I have Exchange set up on both iPhone and iPad. Talked to IT and they are making sure MS Exchange Server is fully updated tonight.

HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 windows 7 wifi and bluetooth disabled

Hi,
I successfully downgraded Sleekbook 14 into Windows 7 64 a while ago.
Everything worked fine.
Now, after reinstalation of Windows 7 clear,
I cannot turn on Wifi and Bluetooth, and even cannot install drivers.
I tried several differnet wifi drivers.
I tried to use drivers which I used previously. No success.
I have Ralink module inside.
Drivers did not installed. In hardware list of Windows I do not see network card.
F12 LED still flash in orange. Fn+F12 nothing changes.
I cannot force it to blue light.
When I use Window Add Hardware... I see blank window. None hardware detect, and even I cannot select new harware manually. Is it normal?
Could it be module smashed? Does it happen? How to verify finally?
I do not see any network card or option in BIOS. Should I?

HT6154 iOS 7 and iPhone 4S - I lost my WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities last September with the new OS, and I THOUGHT it was actually fixed this morning with the latest release - my WiFi AND Bluetooth actually worked....for about 5 minutes, but no longer

I thought this latest OS release had fixed my WiFi and Bluetooth problem, but I was excited for only a minute! I actually was able to connect to my WiFi at home and paired my Bluetooth to my car - but after a few minutes, the Bluetooth automatically turned off and the WiFi no longer worked. Is there a FIX to this??? I know it's the OS that disabled them and I'm not paying $500 for a new phone when my upgrade is not availbe for another six months!!!!

My iPhone 4S did once again did lose it's wifi connection after running perfectly for about 8 weeks.
I was streaming Pandora Radio via bluetooth connection at the time, ( not sure if that has anything to do with why the wifi dropped out again, but I thought I'd mention it anyway)
But!.... I was able to get everything up and running perfectly again by simply grabing my girlfriend's hair dyer heated it up again for about 5 - 7 minutes ( the over heated message even appeared this time) then powered it off, warped it in a plastic bag, stuck it back in the freezer for 15 minutes, took it out of the freezer, powered it back on, and Abracadabra it works perfectly again!!!
Phone has been running perfectly AGAIN for about a week now.
One strange thing this time after fixing it for a second time is that the the little WiFi symbol no longer shows at the top of the screen, but the wifi connection and everything IS RUNNING PERFECTLY!
If all I've got to do once in a while, is spend about 20 minutes with a hairdryer and a freezer to keep my iPhone 4S running perfectly.....well I'm as happy as a pig in s*** :-)
And please no comments about how I have now voided my apple support etc. I never had any to begin with (it's a 2nd hand phone and I really couldn't care less about warranty issues etc etc etc..... The phone works, and that's all that matters to me!

IPad wifi and Bluetooth greyed out after iOS5 update

After updating to iOS5 on my iPad my WiFi and Bluetooth were greyed out like the update has caused a hardware failure on the radio side. My SIM and 3G still work (not that I use it) but I can not even choose wifi or bluetooth in settings app as they are greyed out.
In Wifi it says "No Wi-Fi" and Bluetooth it says "Unavailable"
I wasn't using it a lot so just forgot about it for a while as it sat gathering dust being an expensive paperweight thinking that the next software (5.0.1) update would sort it all out. It doesn't. I have a 64GB iPad 3G with no wifi and as I am living abroad the 3G is useless to me (though only use the ipad at home on my wirless network anyway, or not as the case is now!!)
I have restored, factory restored, cleaned installed new software, everything I can think of but still there is no wifi and no bluetooth.
Has anyone else had this issue? My (very expensive) iPad is now next to useless!!
ANY help is VERY much appreciated.

thank you for fast response and sharing the link but i've tried everything including downgrade but it seems that theres a serious problem with MC497LL model and trying to reach to the support for any updates about it at least trying to inform them

Problems sharing internet to macbook over wifi and bluetooth

I have an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2 and I want to share its internet connection to a Macbook Pro (early 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
When I share using USB connection, it works fine, but with Wifi and Bluetooth I have some issues:
- Bluetooth: I have never been able to make this work. I can't pair the iPhone with the Macbook. The iPhone appeared in the list of bluetooth devices in my mac, and I tried to pair it; in the iPhone a dialog asked me to confirm if I wanted to pair with the mac, and I selected Yes. After a few seconds it disconnected. If I try to pair from my iPhone to the mac, I get an error message "Device not compatible".
- Wifi: this sometimes works but is very buggy. Sometimes the iPhone wifi network is not visible to my mac. Other times, when I select the wifi network in the mac, I get an error message that says it was not possible to connect. I have to turn off/on the wifi and internet sharing in the iPhone several times to make it work.
This is all very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this?

Same issue here with WiFi using latest iOS version on iPad Air and latest Macbook Pro. In my opinion, "Personal Hotspot" (or tethering) is totally broken on iOS.
WiFi tethering works once and then I need to enable/disable hotspot or enable/disable WiFi to make it work again. Bluetooth is so slow it's unusable. Even over USB I have to reset the iPad a couple times a day as the internet connection is displayed as online but just not working any more. Very disappointing. "it just works (not!)".

Wifi and bluetooth turned gray and not working

while staying in a hotel my ipod stopped connecting to wifi and would not let me do anything til i synced.when i got home i had to restore but now my wifi and bluetooth have turned gray and are unresponsive.i have restored several times even as a new device but still the same.

Try here. However, frequently it is a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Installed iOS7 update and now wifi and Bluetooth not working

My daughters 4s has never skipped a beat - perfectly reliable. Just updated iOS7 with update and now both wifi and Bluetooth not working. Wifi is greyed out and when you go into bluetooth the busy twirly symbol is constantly going round. Can someone please help me as I'm pulling my hair out! My other Daughters iphone 4s is fins BUT she has not downloaded latest update - and she won't until this is resolved. If needs be I will take to store and DEMAND for it to be sorted out - either by repair or replacement as it is wholly a seemingly software issue and nothing wrong with the phone.
Gutted really as I am a huge Apple fan and customer with ipods, phones, iMac & iPads all around. If this is not resolved I fear an Apple drought may begin!

..... ty for the link, however this is the first result googling the issue..... of course it did not work....
it is really unbelivable that plenty 4s devices suffered the wifi troubleshooting just after upgrading to ios7, and finally.... i should burn wifi and bluthoot, and another hardware problems should cause % battery value is disappeared....
all this in one shot....
firmaware is not well working or is somebody bombing our devices to force us to switch to newest?

Quick way to deactivate WiFi and Bluetooth?

HI everyone,
I'm looking for a way (app, script, automator workflow, anything else!) to quickly deactivate both wifi and bluetooth connections, in order to save battery energy when I'm traveling, for example...
Something I could just launch with a click...
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
M.

Take a look at Locations 3 at the App store. It is the only (supported) program I know of that can change BlueTook & Airport based on network settings. One obvious free method to solve the problem is to open System Preferences and select BlueTooth and then toggle on the menu item. Select Network, choose your WiFi network and then toggle on the menu item. Now both menu items are showing and 2 mouseclicks toggle them on and off.

Well, it started as a problem with wifi and bluetooth

Early this morning, both my wifi and bluetooth wouldn't work properly.
I turned off my ipod touch, and turned it back on.
Then, both my wifi and bluetooth were "grayed out".
AND for some reason, my iPod couldn't access any of my music.
All of my music still took up the hard drive space on the iPod, but it would not show up.
Now, I put my iPod into recovery mode, and plugged it into my computer.
I'm trying to restore it and update to the newest software, but after iTunes fully downloads the new OS, I get an error message saying that my connection timed out.
So now, my iPod is pretty much useless.
Anything I can do to make sure I'm not losing $300 because of Apple's faulty software?
It's a 3rd Gen 32GB iPod Touch.

No.
The problem started while I still had the old 3.1.2 OS.
After all the primarily listed problems, I was eventually able to get it restore and update to 4.1.
It's not the OS.
I bought my iPod Touch just under a year ago, not too long after New Years.
I'll check in with Apple about it; You may be right about the faulty wireless hardware.
Just strange how it happened to mess up now.

IPhone original Wifi and Bluetooth deactivated?

Ok, so I bought a new 3G and my original iPhone was deactivated, but still worked in every other way besides 'phone', so I gave it to my girlfriend to use as just an iPod Touch right now (she's going to get it activated in about a week with AT&T), but for some reasons in the settings, WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled. Bluetooth isn't that big of a deal, but it'd be nice if she could use WiFi. I'm not sure if the SIM card would have to be activated for this feature to be available or not, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have to be. Does anyone know why it would be like this?

No. It's not.
I remember right after I completely reset it, it asked me if I wanted to join my WiFi, and I just said no (since I was giving the phone to her), but now that she has it, the option is completely disabled.

I loose WiFi and Bluetooth on my Iphone 4S

Thanks to help me to find a solution to repare the WIfI and Bluetooth on my IPhone 4 s bought in August 2012

First go to Settings > WiFi and turn off WiFi.
Next while in Settings turn off Bluetooth.
Now re-boot the iPhone by holding the on/off button and the Home button at the same time. Hold them both down until you see the white Apple logo appear.
When the phone re-boots go back into Settings and enable WiFi and then Bluetooth.
Good Luck

Thank you in advance for your help because I don't want to take this back but if I can't figure out how to use it, I will have to.
