How to turn the airport off when not in use

My airport network is currently running 24/7. I'm away from home a large part of the day. Is there a way to disable it, and then re-enable w/o unplugging it from the wall?
Thanks.

Home Depot and Lowes have simple electronic timers that plug into the AC socket that will allow you to set auto ON/OFF times. The Express would plug right into the device.

A way to turn the software "off" when not in use.

JUSTIFICATION :
Java software is not compatible with Solomon (my company's time card/financial system). I have to literally install the software everytime I use usps.com, and want to print out a shipping label, for instance, and then uninstall Java again. This happens a few times a year...about every 1-2 months or so. Very tedious. Any advice?

Your company software probably has a bug and definitely wasn't tested enough.
If nothing else and you are a developer then just ask for another computer.

The power saving will be negligible, and it may take time to re-establish a connection to your ISP's Network.

How Can Turn the Sound off When Leaving a Slide?

I have a slide with an FLV in it but the audio stays on when
I leave the slide. How do I fix that?

You can't turn off the screen as such, but there are ways of playing the audio only from a movie.
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and set it to "on". I think that works.
Or, you can access the video via the audio/music menu. For instance, if you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you won't be able to see the video but you will hear the audio track.

Should Wireless Router be turned off when not in use?

I successfully installed the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router Model WRT54G. It was very easy.
I notice that it now appears to be "on" all the time, and I use my home PC & Laptop perhaps up to about only 2 hours a day. Should I be turning it off when not in use? Is it a potential security risk to always have it on? If I do turn it off, is the only way to unplug the power adapter? I can not locate any on/off button on the router.
Thanks,
Adam

You said your router was "very easy" to set up. I hope that this does not mean that you skipped setting up security. If your wireless router is not secured, having it on or using it is a security risk. If your router is secured, then it is OK to leave it on 24/7.
If your wireless is not secured, anyone in the area can log into your router and use your DSL line. At a minimum, this wastes your bandwidth. At a maximum, someone could send spam, visit child porn sites, distribute viruses, and give away copyrighted music --- all from a DSL account with your name on it!    Additionally, if your router is not secured, others can see what you are doing on the net, including seeing your bank account numbers, passwords, and credit card numbers. So my advice is ... secure your system.
In order to keep intruders off of your wireless system, you need to enable wireless security. To do this, pick an SSID and don't broadcast it. Encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor  (see note below)
WPA - good
WPA2 - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise".   Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES.
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and passwords that match those you entered in the router.
For additional security, on many routers, you can limit wireless access to just the MAC addresses of the wireless devices that you own. If possible, you should definitely use this feature.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Also, when you pick your login password, SSID, and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers. An SSID, or a login password, should be 12 characters or more.  WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 32 characters.
Note below: Recently the FBI demonstrated that WEP can be broken in under 5 minutes using standard, internet available, cracking tools. This suggests that virtually all wireless users should upgrade their wireless equipment to WPA or better.

Apple TV powers off when not in use

My Apple TV turns off when not in use and needs to be rebooted by unplugging device to "wake" it up How do I avoid this?

All ATVs go into sleep mode when not in use.
Simply pressing the power button on the remote should wake the device up, is that not occurring?

HP Officejet 6500a Should I turn it off when not in use?

Is it better too turn off the printer when not in use for short periods say 2-4 hours? or days? (the manual does not explain this adequately) Thanks

Hi,
I normally turn my printers off to save few cents of electricity. No point to keep printers on unless you are having/doing business (expecting fax or something). Even at work, for a long weekend, we always turn our printers off.
Regards.

How to turn the data off

I just got my first Blackberry Z10. I am experinecing extreme high data usage although Wi-Fi is available. How can I turn the data off to control my usage? can't find it...

IN your Settings (swipe down from the top bezel on the homescreen) > Network Connections> Mobile Network > your carrier > you can turn off data services and still retain WiFi data transmission.
However, as stated above, if WiFi is connected, it will always be the preferred data pipe even if the mobile network data is ON.

How to turn the 8900 off (completely) before boarding a plane

Is there an antenna On/Off feature? Thanks.

What I do to comply with FAA and airline regs in the US:
1. When asked to turn your device off by the crew, go to Manage Connections > Mobile Network, and UNcheck your carrier connection.
2. Press the RED key about 3-5 seconds until you are notified the device is powering down.
When you are in the air, and notified that electronic devices are ok to use,
3. Press the RED key again to power up the device. It will turn on with the radio OFF, which is what you want.
4. Upon being notified of landing or when asked by the crew, turn the device off again using the RED key.
5. When you land, turn the device on once again using the RED key, and then return to Manage Connections and re-enable your Mobile Network.

Switch off when not in use or standby?

I dont have an ATV yet, but have lots of questions!
When not being used, is the ATV to be left in standby (consuming what I hope is just a small amount of electricity) or can the power be turned off at the wall socket? Does it lose any settings if I do this? I only have time to watch TV at weekends.

There is a stand by mode but it isn't a very low power mode, if you only use the tv at weekends, I would unplug it in between. I'd usually say don't be unplugging it regularly, but I don't believe once a week is. Personally I'd leave the unit in stand by on Saturday night though.

How to have time capsule sleep when not in use

Is there any way to have my time capsule sleep (stop spinning ) when not in use? it runs constantly and gets warm. I need to find out how to make it idle and wake up when my Mac calls for a backup. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how to do it? I have the time capsule connected to a router off of a cable modem. Thanks to all

Does the disk spin up and down continually? Or is it just spinning non-stop?
What model is the TC? Please give the A1xxx model from the rubber base mat.. and size of the hard disk.
Did you update to the latest firmware? When did the problem start, ie did it correspond with firmware update?
Have you played with it.. replaced the drive etc? If this is stock standard it should spin down almost immediately disk access finishes.
