Does wifi turns off when the screen is locked?

I just wonder if it does. I want to know cause I want to save some battery life.
If it doesn't is there a way on the setting to turn that feature on?

HI. WI-FI is still on when the screen is locked. Unfortunately there is no such feature. You may find all info about WI-FI settings hereiOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support

How do I make my iPad turn off when the screen is covered?

My old iPad would turn off when I closed the cover but I cannot find how to make the iPad air turnoff in a similar fashion?

Yes it is a proper cover
If it is an APPLE COVER, perhaps it's not the one for that model. But, if it's not an Apple cover, then maybe the manufacturer hasn't set up the magnets the way they are supposed to be.
I'm going to quote from another post elsewhere ...
Are you using a genuine Apple cover or another third party cover?
It's the magnets in the cover which activate the lock/unlock feature to appear in your settings. In earlier iPads you could slide a magnet down the side of the iPad to find where the magnet activates and turn the feature on.....Apple have now changed how this works with the iPad Air. Whereas before there was only 1 magnet positioned in the cover for earlier iPads, it is now thought there are 2 with alternating polarity.
So if you want this feature you will need to buy an Apple cover or wait for third party manufacturers to get their magnets in the correct position.
If you do have a genuine Apple cover then there is something going wrong here....

VPN turns off when the phone is locked

when im on my iphone the vpn stays on but as soon as i lock it it turns vpn off

The only way around this is if your phone is 'unlocked' and you download an app to prevent the VPN from disconnecting, but it will drain your battery quickly and unlocking your phone is not supported or recommended.

Wifi turns off when screen turns off

Hi all. I noticed that my wifi turns off when my screen turns off (to save energy) on my brand new rMBP. The mac isn't asleep, just the screen as I have specified in the settings to turn off but the actual laptop is still on. Well when I move the mouse or press a key, the screen naturally comes on right away but I noticed that wifi turns on and reconnected. So if I was streaming music or something, it would stop and disconnect when the screen goes off. Does this make sense?
How do I disable this? I don't want my wifi to turn off at all when my screen turns off. If I'm downloading/streaming or whatever, I want my connection to remain on. Thoughts?

edit:
i know there's the option "prevent computer sleeping when screen is off" under power adpter, but i would like it done while running battery.
thank you.

My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen.

Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black. I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?

Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

Why does computer turn off when battery 40%?

Why does computer turn off when battery around 40%? I have tried replacing the battery.

Replacing as in "removed, re-installed", or "bought a new one"?
This is my display from "Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Power"
"Normal" means no issues.
I will stop now in case you have actually put in a *new* battery ...

I've tried that. It doesn't work. The only thing that happens is the apple comes up. I've tried holding the home as I'm plugging it in and keeping it held for a few minutes, but nothing happens. My iTunes doesn't even read that it's connected.

My LCD does not turn off during the call. I have a iphone 4. What do i do?

You may have a defective proximity sensor but try some basic troubleshooting first...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

The brightness symbol appears on the desktop when the screen is locked on a periodic basis

No, the Bluetooth symbol is different. Here is a simple trick that solves many minor glitches...
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
This is equivalent to restarting your computer. No data is lost. Keep it in your bag of tricks for when these things come up.

Wifi turns off when screen goes to sleep - how can i disable this?

running 10.8.4 on MBA 2013
is there a way to keep wifi alive when the screen goes to sleep (automatically turns off)?
this is very annoying that i would have some internet connected application running (eg. a download) and then the screen turns itself after a timer and also cuts the wifi. this means i have to keep my screen on if i had a big file to download. is there a way around this? i cannot find any settings addressing this issue/option.
thank you.

edit:
i know there's the option "prevent computer sleeping when screen is off" under power adpter, but i would like it done while running battery.
