Possible to turn off bluetooth & wifi radios from Vista?

Anyone seen a utilty that will allow you to turn off the wireless and Bluetooth radios from Vista as you can do in Leopard to preserve power?

Go to start menu, write "Device Manager" at the bottom and select it in the search-results. Once there browse to whatever you want to enable/disable, right-click and select "disable".
(don't disable graphics or other important stuff.. windows has no protection from stupidity
On a PC you usually have a physical button on your laptop for switching on/off the Bluetooth or wifi radio, but all that usually does is disable the driver, so the above should work just as well.

Does disabling all access points turn off the WiFi radio on Cisco SA520W

As per the title - does disabling all access points turn off the WiFi radio on Cisco SA520W? Thanks!

Hi Denny,
Yes, if you disable all available Access Points configured on your SA520W, then your radio should be off.

Is it possible to turn off/on wifi on an airport express through an API?

Hi,
I use 2 airport express devices (an old and a new model) in our home. At night, I want to turn the wireless network off. In the morning, off course, I want to turn the wifi back on. For several reasons I want to do this from a linux machine.
Is it possible to do this? Is there an API or telnet access to the airport express devices to get this done?
Kind regards,
Marc

Welcome,
Nope - best bet is to get an electronic timer.

Will Siri be able to turn off bluetooth/wifi?

According to reports, there are many things Siri can do that are not being directly advertised. I've seen the "complete" list (http://www.tuaw.com/2011/10/05/iphone-4s-what-can-you-say-to-siri/) but apparently there is even more you can do. I was wondering if Apple had an end-all manual of the possible things you can do - and more importantly, if toggling wifi/bluetooth is one of them.

I'm afraid anyone who knows is not allowed to say, and anyone who doesn't know can't say. We'll all just have to wait and find out.

I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

My wifi wasn't working for more than 10 minutes at a time after updating to IOS8 and resetting network settings. I turned off google drive, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings and rebooted my iPad4. So far so good.

I have an ipad4. Wifi keeps cutting out after the upgrade even after I forget the network and resign on or reset all network settings. I deleted iCloud drive from my iPad, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings, and rebooted my iPad. Since I upgraded to IOS8 this is the longest wifi has consistently been working for me. Which is approximately an hour now. Anyone else find that this worked or have figured out if this or anything out there is a permanent fix?

Hi CollinGCC78,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):

I am looking for an app that will turn on/off bluetooth/WiFi without having to dig through the settings app

ok.. i am new to iphone and iOS and i just thought there might be some solution for this. Since they have the new notifications similar to Android, i was hoping there will be some simple app for this. Thats all.
If there is no solution, you can say its not possible. I dont want you to tell me if I have to go back to Android or not. I bought iphone 4s becasue i liked it.

Cannot get turn-by-turn directions via car bluetooth. Do I need to turn off the car radio? I have a 2012 Camry.

Is anyone else having this issue? I've tried Apple Maps and Google Maps. The audio directions do not come out of the car speakers or the phone itself. I have a iPhone 4S and a 2012 Camry. Do I need to turn off the car radio?

I can confirm that Google maps and Navigon give Turn by Turn instructions via Bluetooth in my iOS6 iPhone 5. Maps does not.
I assume this is an error and will be amazed if it's not fixed by release of iOS7 in the Autum.

Can I keep iOS 7 from turning off my Wifi when screen locks

No. The Wi-Fi auto-shutoff is meant to be a means to conserve battery life.

Hi, an hour ago I was about 75% complete downloading OS X Mountain Lion. I was using a wifi connection on an cafe. I turned off my wifi, forgetting to pause the downloading. Now I am re-downloading from start. Is there a way to retrieve that 75% progress?

I wouldn't do that either. Just let it complete.
Pausing then disconnection you I net connection may drop the download again and then you may have to start over.

Hi, is it possible to turn off wi-fi of my time capsule?

Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health. Therefore I would like to use wired connection and turn off the wireless feature of my time capsule. Please let me know if it is possible and how I can do it.
Still I would like to use the time capsule as a wired router and backup storage facility for my desctop.
One additional question - if it is not going to be possible to turn off the wi-fi, is there another alternative to turn off the time capsule reather than disconnecting it from the socket? Is there an alternative power cord with turn on/turn off switch? Any ideas?

Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health.
There will always be a silly article about anything... if you read it.
I can understand your concern, but Pastenague already pretty much summed up most of what I was going to say. BTW, I would not be surprised if that author is the kind of hypocrite who goes out in the sun all day, or hangs out in cigarette smoke filled rooms.
Electromagnetic waves are everywhere, man-made and environmental. After well over a decade of testing, it's never been proven ... all these 'scare claims' that tend to hit the media. I still remember what started it all, back when someone was diagnosed with cancer after shortly getting a cell phone, and he heard about someone else who had cancer and also had used a cellphone.
OMG... Therefore, cellphones MUST cause cancer, and the electromagentic waves are carcinogens!
They're still trying to prove that.
There are far more things to worry about health wise, than the EMFs.
BTW, in regards to that author, I have my own article to submit to them. And I can even back mine up with facts:
A study has shown that given a long-enough time-line, EVERYONE who drinks water in their life, eventually dies.
Another study has shown, that 100% of people who currently are diagnosed with cancer, have drank at least 1 cup of water in thier life-time.
Another alarming fact has been raised recently, that the harmful effects of water is not just restricted to humans. For example, a study of deceased adult cows at various farms, has shown that there was water-content in all their carcasses.
There is a strong lesson to be learned here. Stay way from water or any product bearing H2O at all costs!

Cannot turn off Bluetooth on B series (B320 i5)

Whenever the computer starts, the Bluetooth light will be turned on. Although I have removed all Bluetooth related applications and there is no Bluetooth device shown on Computer Device list.
I have checked BIOS. There is no way to turn-off, too.
Is there any way to turn-off Bluetooth light?
It is esstential that if the Bluetooth and Wifi lights are turned-on, my computer will be hanged very frequently even I restore from the original factory image.
Please advise what I can do. Thanks.

You may disable the Bluetooth device from the Device Manager if it helps you.
To uninstall the Bluetooth driver, you need uninstall it from the device manager and if prompts to delete installation folder please proceed.
After this please go to Control Panel and check for Bluetooth software, if it is there then uninstall it.
Please check this if it resolve the issue for you.
Best Regard,
Tanuj

Is it possible to turn off a channel in DAQ?

I am using 4*PXI-6070E to acquire 64 channels simultanously. Is it possible to turn off one or several channels during acquisition? Which function or property node should I use? I have tried using property node "disable" in waveform graph but it seems didn't work. That channel is still running and the data is still here. Can anyone help me plz? THX a lot!

Once a set of channels are configured in a task and being acquired, you cannot reconfigure the task (add/remove channels) without stopping the running task
What you could do is to: Use array functions ( like index array) to create a subset of channels you require, from the set of channels being acquired
