Keys CTRL-SHIFT-EJECT puts screen to sleep, WI-FI too on ML!

Hello, i used to use CTRL-SHIFT-EJECT on my MBP mid 2009 with Lion to put my screen to sleep while downloading stuff or performing other things. After i upgraded to ML, with the same combination of keys, my wi-fi turns off too and as soon as i hit any key to turn the screen on, i can see my wi-fi icon connecting and after about 2-3 seconds i get back online. Is that a bug or supposed to be so?

up?
Anyone?

  • Screen wont stay off when turned off via ctrl - shift - eject, turns back on within 5-10 seconds - 10.7.2

    I usually have my MBP next to me and when I'm not using it I either use the hot-corner to turn the screen off or the ctrl - shift - eject keys.
    But when the screen is off it wakes up within 5-10 seconds every time, nothing I can see has changed since this didn't used to be an issue.
    It's always stayed off but recently it hasn't been.
    I'm on 10.7.2, I even shut down every app and just had it running stock OSX and it still does it.
    I have no peripherals connected to it, bluetooth is also off.
    Does anyone know of a fix or is this just happening to me?
    Many thanks in advances.

    i would take back to store and exchange.
    if this is new behaviour then make sure you running the latest update.
    if that doesn't fix it...hold off a few months and upgrade to torch 2 but if you still within exchange time from when you got it...exchange...within warranty time? rma it.

  • WiFi connection is dropped on CTRL-SHIFT-Eject

    Hi,
    I use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-Eject to switch off my display and lock the computer when I am leaving my desk.
    Unfortunately, this also seems my WiFi Connection to drop.
    Is there any way I can prevent this?
    Thanks,
    equi

    Hi admisi
    This issue is very strange. I have a Satellite P20 and my e800 is also connected via the USB cable but I really have no this kind of problems. The wireless connection to my router is configured on both units and I can use it both on the same time (in this case I usually remove the PDA from the cradle).
    If I understand you right you use just one WLAN. Do you have the same problem if you remove PDA from the cradle?

  • Satellite A200 - Inactive keys: CTRL, SHIFT, PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A200 and about a week ago, some of my keys simply stopped working.
    All CTRL and SHIFT (left and right), PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END, are inactive.
    I uninstalled the keyboard from Device Manager and autoreinstalled it at system startup, but nothing happened.
    Is there a keyboard combination to reactivate these keys?
    Thanks.

    Hey,
    There is no special button activate these keys. Usually all these keys work always and there is nothing to disable/enable them.
    If the keyboard is malfunctioning you can test with an external keyboard as Paolo30 wrote.
    If you need help from an authorized service provider you can find a list here:

  • Put screen to sleep not computer

    Hi
    I am a Mac user and when i want to put the Macbook display to sleep I just go to a hot corner and it turns the screen off. The computer does not sleep but this saves power as the screen is the main power draw when at idle. I assume Windows has something
    like this as it is a great option. Forgive me but I cannot find a setting to do this and google was no help.
    Thanks for your help.

    In Windows about all you can do is to make a shortcut with the following target to invoke a screen saver:
    C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr /s
    This won't power down the monitor, however.  The only way I've seen to make that happen is to wait out the time that's defined in the Power Plan Settings.

  • Special Keys(Ctrl-opt-esc) in Screen Share no longer working after latest update

    I typically remote into a machine back home through icloud once or twice a week to help my wife kill a program that can get stuck.  I used to be able to send command+opt+esc to get to the remote computers force quit applications window.  But now when I do that after the latest update, it only does it on my computer and no longer send the command to the remote screen share session.
    Anyone else experience this or have a fix?
    -Dan

  • How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep?!!!

    I would like to play a movie on my iMac but to watch it on my LCD TV. How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep. PLS have in mind that ctrl+shift+ eject does not work, it makes my iMac screen go  black as well as the  tv screen.So far, i have red many articles concerning this subject, but no one seems to have the right answer. I simply can´t believe that apple did not think of it, as it is nothing new ....
    Thanks

    My brother has eight cats, so your not along. Fortunetly his go outside.
    I have been talking to the people over at macforums and they had some good thoughts. One guy suggested going analog and soldering in a rocker switch on the cable connecting a hub to the computer, turn off switch turns off keyboard and mouse.
    I was prepared to try that but a great idea came along. Arch, you might be interested in this too. Buy a cheap (found one locally for $20) usb kvm switch that takes one usb keyboard and mouse and connects it to two pcs/macs and only connect one of the outs to my system. There is a button to switch between the two, so when I want to disable the keyboard and mouse, I just switch it to pc2, which is not connected to anything.
    Cheap and easy solution. I wish I could of figured out how to do this with software, since there would be no money if it was freeware, but I guess you cant win them all.
    Thanks everyone for chiming in!

  • My Macbook Pro (early 2011, 10.6.8) keeps rebooting when I put it to sleep mode or turn off the display.

    When I go out for lunch, I always put my Macbook Pro either to sleep or turn off the display with Ctrl-Shift-Eject. Recently, a few times, when I returned to the computer, I find it in the login screen with all apps closed. What to do?

    What do you man by 'kills' the application?  Do open applications close?
    Try SMC and NVRAM resets:

    Then try a safe boot:

    Any change?
    Do you have any third party AV or so called 'performance' or 'cleaning' applications installed?
    Ciao.

  • How to disable ctrl,shift while drag and drop

    after starting the drag, i donnot want the user to change action with ctrl & shift. how can i do that?

    The Error Console click is visible in Tools of FireFox 3.6.8. Against it is mentioned the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+J. How can I do away with this shortcut key? If I want to see the Error Console, I can click at it. This shortcut key of FireFox is interfering with this very shortcut key on InfraWare Transcription Client 2009 on which I work online and which is set to run on Internet Explorer only.
    I thank you for asking me to go through a whole gamut of an article on Key Configuration much of which is Greek to me. I am getting nowhere doing that.

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • CTRL SHIFT "some other key" question

    I am trying to do something similar to the CTRL-SHIFT-F1 keyboard shortcut to show the Swing/AWT hierachy, however I want to display this in a graphical form (I know how to do that part), but I am having problems implementing the keyboard shortcut part.
    Cound someone point me in the right direction, how do you specify a keyboard handler for the whole window ?
    Thanks

    Add the key listener to the main Frame or main JPanel.

  • Hi, I have a MacBook Pro. It is plugged in and charging but will not switch on. I try pushing ctrl, shift, alt and power together then release and press power again. The laptop goes to a white screen but switches off straight away. Any ideas?

  • Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l nudge cursor

    Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.

    It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
    If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...
