HT3131 can i turn my computer on and off in clamshell mode will useing with a thurderbolt display?

I have an early 2011 mackbook pro 17inch and love using it in clamshell mode with my thunderbolt display.  Is there a way to turn power on and off with a thunderbolt display?
regards,
floyd.

I have my Power Nap enabled but my sleep is still an option along with restart or shutdown when I click on the little Apple.
When I click sleep it puts everything to sleep as if turned off except it activates when I touch my keyboard and comes on again with everything up.
My external Lacie SSD does everything the same as the computer and monitors.
Except it shuts all the way off and on.
Not good I don't think.
If it's not good for internal SSD to be turned on and off, I expect it to be not good for external SSD either.

    Unless it has recently changed you can only watch rentals on the device or mac you rent them on.

    Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Is this happening with one particular network or with all?  Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • Can I turn Time Machine on and off

    I will be doing video editing and do not want Time Machine to run when I am editing. Is there a way to manually start Time Machine backup when I am done editing.
    Thanks
    Kirk

    Open Time Machine Preference and turn TM off. Go back to the TM Preferences when you are done to turn it on. To initiate a backup immediately, ctrl-click (or right-click) the TM icon (top menu bar or Dock) and click Back Up Now.
    Excellent idea to turn it off when video editing. I do the same thing as well.

    Hello Bricky2013,
    The following article has some useful tips that can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app.  It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped.  It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?  I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times.  There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added.  Thank you for any help you can give.

    Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi.   The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks.   I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help.   They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition.   They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone.    This is extremely annoying!    They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

    My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again... 

  • TS1702 Can anyone help? For no reason, I cannot open any of my apps.  I can open everything else, just not apps.  I have turned the ipad on and off several times, this doesn't work.  Does anyone know what to do and why this has happened?

    Hello, for some strange reason I cannot open any of the apps I have.  I have tried turning the ipad on and off and this doesn't work.  I can open everything else (videos, camera, etc) just no apps.  Can anyone help please?

    If it's the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Automatically Turning the Aiport on and off

    Is their anyway to turn the airport on and off remotely or prevent it from accessing the internet? i.e. your not having to physically unplug it to prevent it from going online?
    I am curious if I can remotely (via my MBP) disable the connection to the internet at certain times?

    1. I'm not sure how "remote" you had in mind but yes - it is possible to configure your Base Station from anywhere on the internet as long as you (a)have enabled the option to configure the base station via its WAN port and (b) you know the base station's public IP address.
    2. You can limit client connections to the base station by enabling MAC address based access control, and either adding or removing the MAC address of wireless clients
    3. You can not limit cabled client connections. If a computer is cabled to the Base Station, that computer will have access to the internet as long as the Base Station is powered.

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

  • How to Set Automatic to turn on and off at specified time my TV with STB

    It seems very frustrating talking with Verizon tech support, that's why I turn to you guys to find if anyone knows the answer to my question above.,from my experience calling verizon for my tech support regarding fiosTV and most of my experience from Verizon are either inept and giving the customer the run around by keeping you on hold for the longest and not having the answer after all the time I spend with the tech on the phone or they will tell you that the that there is no such thing; and when you call again when you get another tech on the phone you get completely different answer if not an inept answer. 
    My Specific question is, if  I turned off my STB (top box) and my TV at a particular time; and I like my TV with STB to turn on at a specified time ( example I turned off my STB and TV at 9:00 PM ) and would like my TV with the STB to be turn on like 11:00 PM to turn off at 12:00 midnight by itself, not to record  but just to turn on as reminder and to serve as power saver incase I fall asleep ( this is just example scenario). How would I do that? The manual of either remote control or the STB does not provide that information. My television manual say the TV can but I can not turn it on automatically with the STB connected.
    I called Verizon tech, he first sounded inept and sounded like he just talking from a scripted lines, and would not tell me straight forward that he does not know the answer; I  explained that I switched to Verizon Fios for its claim in high and advance technology as they compare themselves by far higher in technology as compared with Cable or direct TV, and with Cable Vision I was able to used the above automatic turn on and off with the remote; I asked for his supervisor or maybe more expert tech support, He turned over the call to his supervisor, who told me that the STB or the remote Fios TV does not have that level of capability which sounded to me like a joke, he also told me that the STB can not be turn on and off because STB is always set as on; I told him I can see the green light turns on and off on the STB each time I press the ON button on the Verizon Remote; he defended that its always on because the timer is ON, and he told me instead FIOSTV has another feature that although it will not turn the feature on and off automatically, it will serve as reminder, I asked him How to carry out that function, the tech supervisor said  to me to just press the record button on my remote, which I know right away that it will just record, and  I told him that its not what I want to accomplish, this Tech Supervisor insisted that it will not record but will set to notify me, but surely it did record and it just wasted and used my DVR memory capacity the time when he put me on hold for a long period of time, I knew it recorded because the red button on the STB/TVR was on., and it did not notify me in anyway what time the TV and STB will turn on. That was a complete  waste of time, instead of him getting the issue to higher level of their tech support and try to research thru and get back to the client. To me, simple feature as this, is such absurd to claim that fiosTV has more advance features than others, where infact they can not even have their tech support answer such simple question.  
    Any one here has any idea, please help.

    The set top box does not offer any auto on or auto off feature. 
    you can only do that if your TV offers the feature. 
    If neither your TV nor the STB offer that feature (in this case the stb does not offer) then you can go to a radio shack or a similiar store and purchase a AC timer.  they make them and you plug them into your wall, they are very cheap.
    I have had directv and fios and neither of my systems did an automatic on or off. 
    BUT my samsung TV upstairs does have that feature (auto on and off)   and I have not checked my mitsubishi downstairs. 
    so you may want to check your settings on your TV to see if it will do it, like my samsung does.
