Turn off airport before closing display?

should i turn airport off before i close the display and let the computer go to sleep?

I don't know how much battery that saves, but I know that I always turn off airport whenever I'm not searching the net, and before I sleep my MBP I turn it off.

Turn off airport before sleep

Is there a airport configuration that turns off airport when putting macbook pro to sleep?

Well, a workaround for that would be to make a New Location in Network>Location>New Location... maybe name it Air OFF, then in Network>Show>Network Port Configurations, make sure Airport is unchecked.
A quick trip to the Apple Menu>Location>All OFF before sleep should make sure.
Oh, if you're Sharing any Files, be sure to eject any drives before sleep.

2013 MBP 2.5 i5 4Gig 500MBHDD boots slow. It finishes post in the same time as an identical MBP, and then hangs for 30 seconds on one of the ethernet adapters, before finishing the boot. Once booted it is normal.   Turning off airport changes nothig.

2013 MBP 2.5 i5 4Gig 500MBHDD boots slow. It finishes post in the same time as an identical MBP, and then hangs for 30 seconds on one of the ethernet adapters, before finishing the boot. Once booted it is normal.   Turning off airport changes nothing. Hardline adapter is not plugged in. Thunderbolt adapter is not used. Bluetooth is off. Did this out of box. Identical MBP boots to login screen in 36 seconds. Disk repair, permission repair, and safe mode boot have
already been done, no change. Boot time is consistent. Hangs at the same place each time. Right after post. Bad adapter?
Comments, solutions please.

... and so ... now a few days later, success.   I ran
your software but it told me nothing I hadn 't seen
in verbose boot.
Consistently, following good post, the boot hung
for 30 seconds on the adapters, (cards, chips, NICs.
Ethernet cards, whatever you prefer to call them)
either the airport card or the hard line. It would then
proceed at normal pace to the login screen.
Since it came out of the box that way, software
conflict was not a go. I guessed glitched driver or
fetch instruction. I zapped the PRAM (cleared
NVRAM) and reloaded the OS, updates, Garage Band,
iPhoto (one of Apple's true dogs in an otherwise
rare arena) iMovie, Photoshop, Lightroom, their
updates, and my files.   MBP pro now boots to login
in 31 seconds. Note I have turned off as much gee
whiz, rubber band scroll, global swiping and other
hubcaps and hood ornaments as befits how like
things ... and turned off all the Asian and other fonts
I will. ever use.
Best guess ... corrupt driver or corrupt fetch script ...
bad server squirt at factory load.
Thanks for your help, Cheers!

S1 Yoga - How to turn off the built-in display/monitor?

Hi,
Trying to find a way/hotkey to turn off the built-in display whilst I'm connected to another external monitor with the Thinkpad S1 Yoga model. Do you guys know how to do it?
I could even remap any of the default hotkeys if someone knows how to do that as well, as the defaults are not too useful for me...
Thank you!!
Solved!

Turn Off / Airport / Menu Item

Hello,
I try to make an applescript to turn off Airport by menu items
I've try this (see below) but it doesn't work on Leopard (french version).
I've already turn off "Enable Access for assistive devices" in Universal Access.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Grégoire
*tell application "System Events"*
*click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 of application process "SystemUIServer"*
*click menu item "Désactiver AirPort" of menu 1 of menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 of application process "SystemUIServer"*
*end tell*

The menu position isn't set so you can't assume a numerical index, but you can go through the menu items looking for the one you want. There was an earlier topic about scripting the Airport menu, so I just looked up some keys in the French localized strings. The "Enable Access for assistive devices" will need to be turned on, but the following script should do it:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "System Events" to tell process "SystemUIServer"
tell menu bar 1
set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items
repeat with the_menu from 1 to the count of menu_extras
if item the_menu of menu_extras is "Menu supplémentaire AirPort" then tell menu bar item the_menu
click
delay 0.5
click menu item "Activer AirPort" of front menu
-- click menu item "Désactiver AirPort" of front menu
delay 0.5
end tell
end repeat
end tell -- menu bar 1
end tell
</pre>

Can't turn off airport

After installing snow leopard on my MacBook 13" I can't turn off airport from the top menu or from network utility.
Just now was successful in turning off Airport. I had to go to network preferences, click on automatic (not my regular network name), the apply button was no longer grayed out. Hit apply and was able to turn off the connection from preferences. Can now turn off and on from top menu

ok I just installed SNM LPD on 3 intel macs-older Imac 2.0ghz, newer 13"macbook 2.4ghz, and newer 24"Imac 2.4ghz. All of them worked ok except the Imac. I couldn't connect to a wireless network at all nor could I turn off the airport card. The system profiler saw the card and it seemed to be working fine. So I knew it was a software problem. I tried everything. I was just about to wipe the disk and reinstall everything (which would have taken 3 to 4 days) when I tried to add another network location profile. I've used the automatic profile forever, but then I thought I'd try a whole new location. I went to edit locations. Hit the plus button and named it. It populated the hardware and my airpot card (which was on but wouldn't connect) turned off. When I turn it back on (in the NEW location menu) it found all the nearest networks instantly. I found my home network and put in my password and it didn't give me the small "connection error" sign. I don't know what this glitch is but its annoying...hope its helps!

Cannot turn off airport on Imac and PowerBook

I cannot turn off airport on iMac 17" intel (late 2006) and G4 powerbook. One common thing is:
I got rid off .plist files (airport related) on both machines prior to putting new AE in to mix. I set up AE and not only I cannot establish wireless on both machines I cannot turn airport on both as well. Old G4 iMac (3rd machine that was not altered) works.
What did I get rid off?
iMac gives me this:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x87)
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.9)
Current Wireless Network: AirPort is currently turned off
While Network pref. and icon in menus says airport is on. (Same with powerbook)
Any suggestions?
Just to ad to confusion. This is replacement AE. First one after firmware upgrade (7.3.2) started to misbehave (very weak signal, mostly). I did downgrade to 7.3.1 but after couple of days I went for factory one (firmware that is), and here I am.

…after waking both computers from sleep situation is reversed. Airport is off and I cannot turn it on. After restart I am back to Airport on (not able to connect, while showing networks to join) and not able to turn off.

How do i turn off airport express bridge

How do i turn off airport express bridge?

Only exception was that it went into bridge mode and I cannot configure an IP camera that was working prior.
Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Express since your "upgraded" Xfinity device is a modem/router or gateway device.
So, you already have a router set up on the network. Bridge mode must be used on the AirPort Express to avoid having two devices both trying to act as routers on the network.
That would create IP address conflicts and other problems like Double NAT.
Since the Xfinity device is now your network router, you must configure the port settings for your camera on the Xfinity modem/router. The AirPort Express will simply pass through those settings since it is in Bridge Mode.
You may need to check with Xfinity support on how to set up port forwarding if the owners guide does not cover that topic.

When i turn off airport i can still go to my tablet---why

is it normal for my tablet to work even if i turn off airport express????

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to, but I assume you are asking if it is normal for the tablet to operate even if it doesn't have a Wi-Fi connection ... correct? If so, then I would say "yes."

Turn off airport extreme

How can I turn off airport extreme during certain times of the day so my kids can't use wifi?

You might want to take a look at the Timed Access settings in AirPort Utility, which will allow you specify the times each day that everyone will be allowed to connect to the network.
Or, you can individualize this, and the set up individual "rules" for each of the kids' devices that allow them to connect using certain times each day....while your devices have unlimited access.

TURN OFF AIRPORT IF USING 10.5.2

I've also installed 10.5.2 on a MBP. Performance for playing audio is terrible until I turn off AirPort.
I don't think users need to go back to Tiger. Simply staying at 10.5.1 is fine (at least, that worked well for me). If you've already upgraded to 10.5.2, simply turn off airport when you need audio performance. I know, it certainly ***** to have to do this. But for me it means I can go back to normal performance.

"Wow, this is the first thread anywhere I've found that seems to address the very problem I've been having."
I admit I've been following this problem more or less since it started. This thread should actually be callsed "TURN OFF AIRPORT IF USING LOGIC OR MAINSTAGE", cause the problem exists in 10.4.11 as well.

Saving battery by turning off Airport?

If AirPort is turned off before sleeping the computer, 2 hours later battery power is down only 3-4% instead of the 20-25% if AirPort is left on.
Is there a system setting / network utility setting that stops AirPort from waking every time a new Network pings me (even though the computer is in Sleep mode?

Try unchecking "ask to join new networks" if it's checked.

Macbook Pro Mid 2014 Retina Flashing green light on charger when fully charged (macbook turned off or lid closed)

Hi there,
Just got a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014. I have noticed that when the Macbook is turned off or the lid is closed the green light on the charger is blinking. It seems it does this when the Macbook Pro is fully charged and I am not sure if it is a fault with the charger or if it just does this when its fully charged? When the laptop is open and plugged in it doesn't do this.

You tried the SMC Rest right?

Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection. The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor. Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box? It is driving me bonkers.

Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"
