When I close my laptop, it shuts off the internet?

Hi there,
I have a macbook pro laptop. everytime i shut the lid of my macbook, the internet turns off.
Can anyone help me?
Regards,
Ari

Yes, because it goes to sleep and saves power, which the Wifi consumes much of.
If your computer is not reconnecting after you wake the machine up, it's likely because your router is set to "hidden" network and Mac's for security reasons, won't ask again automatically.
Since hidden networks are not hidden to hackers, it makes little sense to hide it unless your in a very high traffic area like a airport terminal with many devices attempting to connect. can overload the router.

Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4s and still use it with a wifi connection ?

Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4 and then use the phone as normal

I assume that you're asking if you can shut off cellular data (as no individual can shut off the Internet! )? Yes, you can turn off cellular data and use the phone features (except for MMS which requires cellular data) and access the Interenet via WiFi.

HT4623 the Icons on my iphone 4...suddenly get extreemly large, I don't know why. I can't use the phone when this happens, I have to shut off the phone, which is a problem, just finding the red arrow and making it go across the screen to shut down...help

does anyone know what is going on with my phone? I don't think I'm causing this, but you never know. my home page where the phone, camera, messages, etc...all the icons will get giant....maybe 3 will be on the screen instead of the normal 20.....I have to move the screen around to find what I need to open and then I cannot...so I turn off the phone, when the red arrow appears, and have to hold down one side of the screen to make the arrow move, If I try to slide it over with my finger..........I can't get it to the end.....eventually the phone will shut off and then I turn it on again and the icons are normal....but this happens several times a week and I would like it not to happen , what can I do?

Thank You, thank You ...so much......that feature made me crazy!

The printer prints the fonts too small when I try to print a page off the Internet.

My new printer is the Photosmart D110a. It is printing documents from Microsoft word but when I try to print a document from an Internet site, the font is so small I cannot read it. How can I adjust the printer settings so the font size is a 12? I do not think I have the wireless stuff set up correctly but I don't need to do any cloud printing or things like that. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
This question was solved.

OK, well, when you print, use File > Print or Control-P on the resulting window click on Preferences, then on the Effects tab. See if you are printing in Acutal Size, like this:

March 9 FBI to shut off the internet.

Not sure if this is true. FBI thinks this is needed to be done. A virus needs to be cleaned, and if you have the Virus after it is cleaned you can't get in the web if you have it. Just would require you to clean your computer to connect again.
Be prepared in case the articles and rumors turn out true.

Here's a fairly detailed article about this, from a reliable site: http://securitywatch.pcmag.com/malware/293327-will-your-browser-go-dark-on-march-8. It has a link to an Avira tool to work on your own system prior to March 8, thus avoiding any federally induced loss of connectivity. Here is that Avira link: http://techblog.avira.com/2012/01/23/avira-dns-repair-tool-released/en/.

Charger randomly stops working, laptop randomly shuts off

5 months after I had this brand new laptop it crashed on me. I wasn't able to retrieve anything and they ended up not knowing what went wrong and just reformatted my computer for me and gave it back.
About a year later I'm having other issues. The charger issue has been going on for a while now. It will randomly just stop working. It's not the battery because I plug in someone else's charger and it works just fine. The little charging light will suddenly go off on mine and it will no longer charge - or sometimes when I plug it in to charge, it just does not light up and work. I usually play around with it - unplug the charger from the outlet, unplut it from the adapter, take off the adapter, etc. wait around, etc. until it will finally work again. I don't understand why it does that though. There is no one thing that gets it to work again, it's just luck or whenever it feels like turning back on. (right now it is off and does not want to work)
My other issue is that my laptop starting a month ago has suddenly started to shut down at random moments. It never does that when it's just sitting in front of me. It happens when I pick it up and then the hard drive does that little 'click' thing and then boom my screen is black. It doesn't happen often. There are plenty of other times I pick it up and it clicks and everything is fine. It's not even a huge movement with my laptop. The times when it shuts off were triggered by SMALL normal motions. I'm simply lifting it up to move it somewhere else. It's SOOOOO irritating.
The two issues might possibly be related. I have found that when the laptop just shuts off like that and it has been plugged in, the charger will all of a sudden stop working along with it! Even if the laptop is shut off, the charger should still keep charging right? But instead, the light for it also goes off and then I unplug and plug it back in and it doesn't go back on.
I cannot say how annoying this is. I thought Apple was supposed to be a really reliable brand but I've had so many issues with it.
I will be going to the Apple store soon, but has anyone else experienced these problems?? And if so, I'd like to know what Apple did for you.
Thanks!

I use Firefox to access the internet-but when I go off the internet but don't shut down, then go back on Firefox it won't open because "it is already running". Task Manager doesn't show that it is operating so I can't shut it off. What to do?

It is in the question but to repeat.
1. When I go online I use Mozilla Firefox
2. While I am doing other work, I usually close the internet.
3. If I go back on the internet and click on Mozilla it won't come up, stating that "it is already running".
4. Despite that, when I open Task Manager, it doesn't show that it is running so I can't shut it down or open it.
5. If I log off or shut off the computer, then after I log in or reboot the computer, I can open Mozilla.
Thanks from a Mozilla fan.

When i close airport utility it shuts down my wifi

when i close airport utility it shuts down my wifi and i have to keep it open so that i can access the wifi
i have only a airport extreme

Power off both your computer and the base station.
Then, power up the base station first and let it run a minute, then power up the computer.
Any change when you check AirPort Utility?
If not, we need more information about your AirPort device. Our crystal ball is unfortunately not working today, so we must ask you to locate the model number of your AirPort and post back with that info.
The model number is on the side or bottom of the AirPort depending on what version you have. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in "A x x x x".

Hello QuinnDev,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on. I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode. You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
Requirements for closed display mode:
Power adapter
External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
External display
You can find all the steps and the full article here:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

I hope this helps!
All the best,

What kind of videos are you watching?
You need to force quit Safari, but hitting Command-option-esc, and force quit Safari.

I need to know how to stop a notification that keeps coming up when playing a spades game, that keeps telling me to go to the game center. I even shut off the notifications in the settings, this is an anoying problem

I'm pretty sure this is an Apple thing and you can't do anything about it. To get rid of the notification just do as it asks then try to forget about it.
