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.

  • 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.

    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 ...

  • 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.

  • IMac turns off instead of sleeping

    This only recently started occurring, and I cannot correlate it with anything that I might have done.
    When I tell my iMac G5 to go to sleep - be it via shortcut, menu, power button, anything - it turns off instead of sleeping. It does not shut down properly, but simply turns off suddenly and completely. Upon rebooting, everything seems to be functioning well.
    Did all the usual reboot, fix permissions, and so forth, to no avail. Apple hardware test reports no problems, although it took over an hour to run an extended test.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    You haven't done anything, it's a power supply problem or a capacitor problem and you should take it in and have it seen to before it gets any worse. Make sure you have a backup of all your data before you take it in. If it's not an iSight, you can open the back and check the caps to see if they are swollen or leaking. While you're about it, vacuum the fans and the vent slots to see if excessive dust buildup is the problem.

  • 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

    end repeat
    end tell -- menu bar 1
    end tell

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • When I click sleep, Imac turns off not just sleep

    When I click sleep, Imac turns off not just sleep. Any fix?

    Hi Hank,
    Some things to try...
    Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    (SMC reset=  Shut down, disconnect power cord for 10 seconds, reconnect power cord, wait 5 more seconds, turn computer back on)
    but it is slightly different:   (PMU REST = Shut computer down, disconnect power cord for 10+ seconds, reconnect power cord WHILE SIMULTANEOOUSLY PRESSING POWER BUTTON, let off power button for a few seconds, then press power button again to restart the mac mini.)
    Can also be caused by USB or Firewire devices.

  • Should we turn off IPT before letting it sleep ?

    Hi
    When IPT is not in use, should we manually turn the wifi off and then let IPT to sleep?
    I hope Apple is not so dumb, that they will let wifi on during sleep time. But i just want to confirm this from this forum.
    Thanks,
    Ramsundar

    wifi turns off after about 30 minutes of the ipod being in sleep mode.

  • 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.

  • T42p vista fn + f3 and fn + f4 functions (turn off screen and sleep) not working correctly

    Hi -- I recently installed windows vista on my T42p.  It works fine except that the fn+f3 and fn+f4 functions do not work as expected.  Before installing the hotkeys driver, the fn+f4 function worked correctly while f3 did not (going to sleep worked, turning the monitor off did not).  I then installed the recommended hotkeys driver.  Now fn+f4 makes the monitor turn off while f3 does nothing ... fn+f4 is supposed to put the laptop to sleep.  On top of this, if i select "sleep" from the start menu, the computer turns the monitor off instead of going to sleep.
    Presumably, the sleep button could still be telling the computer to go to sleep, but the actual operation of going to sleep is now broken?  Just a guess.  Anyways -- anyone know how to resolve this so that fn+f3 turns my monitor off and fn+f4 puts my computer to sleep?

    I've too this problem, but more, my sound mute wasn't worked (for deblock, but it can block it few second before...) 5 days in 5-6 instalation of three version of winxp: winxp ru x64 sp2, winxp es/ru sp3 x32.
    eventually I've found and ran "TPOSDSVC.exe" in instalation directory and it give an opportunity  deblocking the sound volume!!!!!!!!!!!! and I don't need more functions 
    volume levels and brightness adjustment worked well without OSD (before I ran TPOSDSVC.exe) and with OSD.
    and now I don't know worked this bustered sound driver in winxp x64.
