WiFi shuts down when display goes to sleep

Often when my display goes to sleep, my wifi disconnects. As soon as move the mouse or press a button, the screen goes on, the wifi reconnects. This is specially annoying when I'm using the Boxee streaming to my Boxee box, suddenly the stream stops as the screen has shut off, and the wifi with it.
Any idea how to fix this?

Good point! I think this is a new setting or so as my old MBA never did this.
In Energy Saver settings I have now clicked in "Prevent computer from sleeping when display is off"
This should solve it.
Funny there's no setting for actually sleeping the computer?

IBOOK G4 Powers on then goes to sleep after loading, any help?

I have a 12 inch IBook g4 purchased less than a year ago. On power up, screen loads, Pop-up says date set prior to March 1, 2001, icons and wallpaper load and then book goes to sleep. All in a matter of 3-5 seconds. Help me please

I too am having problems with my ibook falling to sleep or quitting. It also sometimes loses the backlight of the display. I took it to an apple authorized dealer and they eliminated the possibility of the cause being the cord, the batter, the airport card, or the ram. I also get the message of it having the wrong time set in the clock before March 2000. The time is not set wrong.
I am also having an issue with the powercord. When pluged in so I can recharge it doesn't always sho that it recharges. I have to rearrange the cord to get it to register that it is charging. This ibook is only 18 months old and giving me unbeleivable problems. My imac is 8 years old and still running...slow but running. what gives? I make my livng on this little ibook so I really need answers and the dealer is not very helpful. Please help I'm desparate!

Cinema Display goes to sleep after connection to MacBook Pro.

Hi, I've been using my 21" Cinema Display from my old G5 as the monitor for my new MacBook Pro. I used a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor to connect it to the MacBook Pro, and it has worked very well - until today.
Now, as soon as I turn the MacPro on (and quickly shut the lid as usual) the cinema display comes up and then - goes to sleep. And I cannot wake it up! If I open the MacPro, both monitors come up. However I'd really like to use just one monitor, the cinema display. What has happened ? I don't think I changed a thing.
Hope someone can help?
Thanks

Have you (perhaps unknowingly) got one of the screen corners set to put the screen to sleep in Exposé. System Preferences>Exposé & Spaces.
You normally have to deliberately point the mouse to the corner to sleep the screen (if active corners have been set up) perhaps if the mouse is left just hovering near an active screen corner maybe the slightest of movements is triggering the screen to sleep. Worth a look.

Envy Pro 4-b000 Freezing up when on battery and going to sleep or closing the lid.

Anyone else having issues with this? I purchased 4 of these laptops and I have deployed 3 of them. All 3 are doing the same thing. HP support told me to reimage them back to factory... These laptops are a week old and have the factory image on them. Wanted to know if anyone else is having the issue this is my first attempt at HP laptops in a long time and needless to say not impressed. Trying to decide if I want to reimage or just return them and go back to what I know best... Dell... Any input would be appreciated.

I think I have the same issue. I have an external display connected to my MacBook Pro. When I want the system to Sleep, I used to close the lid and everything was fine. Now that I have Lion installed, I close my lid and the system stays on and switches to my external display instead.
This is annoying and hopefully someone figures out a fix soon. I hate having to manually put my system to sleep.

Apple TV stops streaming via AirPlay when iPhone 6 Display goes black

Hi,
when my iPhone gets locked and the Display goes black (standby) after 2 Minutes, my AirPlay stream to my Apple TV 3. Gen stops playing. Only when i set the standby/lock time time to never instead of 2 Minutes (and the screen is on all the time) the Stream wont stop.
Sometimes the stream does not stop, wenn my iPhone Screen goes black.
This also happens with an iPad Mini or using an Lightning to HDMI Adapter instead the Apple TV.
I have no idea why.
Please help.
Best regards
Sebastian

On a sidenote, I also have an ipad and normally homesharing with the ipad works fine, but after having an apple tv incident, I have to restart the mac for homesharing to work with the ipad

Express Card Slot - freezes up my MBP when connected and it goes to sleep

When I have my express aircard in the slot - whether it is connected to the Internet or not - and I try to put it in sleep mode or it automatically goes to sleep mode, it completely freezes my computer and I have to force quit in order to use my computer again. If I take the card out before putting it into sleep mode there are no issues; however, I don't always remember to do so. Anyone else having this issue?

" ... Anyone else having this issue?"
Sort of. Not duplicable: I can tie the MBP into knots by simultaneous d/ls on like 3 open browsers with multiple tabs too. When I don't get a freeze in my browsers, or in my AT&T GlobeTrotter Connect app, I can leave it inserted and close the lid for sleep (which disconnects the modem anyway), and wake normally (but disconnected). I usually try to remember to take out the aircard before sleep; since it does protrude, and might get bumped!
When you say: " ... it completely freezes my computer and I have to force quit in order to use my computer again ..." I'm not thinking that having to just force quit your aircard app is a total freeze. Try getting the Grey curtain of Death, for that! But I know what you mean. I have that same light freeze, and must apple-option-escape three finger salute, force quit the aircard app, just to get the Finder to work. Then I must double-restart with PRAM upchuck for luck, to be able to launch the aircard app again, else it just sits there and locks up again ... And it usually takes me like three tries to connect, at busier times of the day. I am grateful to have the aircard, since it is my only access, due to extreme rural-ness. Kinda like Alaska, only warmer?
You got AT&T or Verizon? My only reception is AT&T, and luckily I got the Option GTMax Express aircard, instead of the Novotel USB dongle. The Option Express 34 has the port for an external antenna, which I need, and used to need even for voice cell phone ... and the USB dongle does not have that port. The little flip-up antennas on either do not give much gain yah. Fine for city life ...
Reception gets better as more towers are built, but that comes with population growth usually. Speed improves as Edge gets upgraded to GSM ... soon? I am getting like 16K d/l when lucky, on Edge only ... My AT&T took $25 M from NipponTel this year to upgrade to GSM, so NT can soak the Asian tourists here on vacation with roaming, etc. They are used to very high speeds d/l and were dying with Edge only ...

My downloads keep pausing when my display goes to sleep for a while! How do I stop this?

I use a MBP retina and my computer settings don't allow it go to sleep. Yet, everytime I download something I have to sit with it or else it stop when I go away for five minutes.

Out of curiousity, in your power settings do you have it so that just your hard disk is put to sleep if the computer is idle? I think I had a similar issue a while back on WIndows that was caused by that one setting. I don't use a mac so I am not sure if the same thing applies.

P55T-A5116 when it automatically goes to sleep it will not wake up without a hard reboot

When I allow my computer to go to sleep and it stays in sleep mode for about 15 min, it will not wake up unless you do a hard reboot. The power button stays solid illumination of white and the screen is black, even when I make the settings for any keyboard stroke to wake it up. I updated the driver for the display, but that did not work. I've looked at all the postings in the forum, but doesn't seem to have a solution.
The odd thing is that if I manually put the computer to sleep, the power indicator blinks like it should in sleep mode and wake back up. The issue is when I just leave it unattended and let it go to sleep. The only thing I haven't done is do a complete factory reset, which I really don't want to do. Can someone help me with this?

Hello guys. Same story! My computer sleeps off when am typing. Sometimes it becomes too much and i can hardly type any word. Its very very annoying and it has stressed me because i have much to do. i have checked power settings but looks to be okay. Imagine it has gone to sleep 10 times as i typed this text! i have to keep touching the power button all the time! sometimes i touch any key and it goes on

My macbook will not start. when powered up it goes to a blank white screen with a folder with a ? on it

When I start my computer instead of just going to the main screen it goes straight to a blank white page with a folder with a question mark on it that keeps flashing. What's wrong with it?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 or 10.8 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

How do I stop wireless disconnecting when my macbook pro goes to sleep?

When my mac goes to standby I have to re enter password for the wireless. The problem with this is that it is a difficult password to get right so I end up having to restart my computer everytime. Any ideas?

Why don't you just save the password?
there's a option to remember the network and the password and connect automatically to it. I think everyone use it that way.

Powerbook G4 17" hangs after display goes to sleep.

My 1.0 GHZ, 17" PB G4 has been locking up after the display sleeps. I do not have any other energy saver options selected. I can hear the fan(s) running, but she is totally unresponsive.
Using 10.5.5, 1 gig Apple RAM, airport is off.
I reset the PMU using the Shift-Control-Option-Power combo once.

Stephen,
No help here, sorry, but you're not alone. My 1.33 17" has been having the same trouble for months. It was consistent a few months ago, but now it's only occasional. I have no idea what causes it and, like you, have gone through various attempts at fixes (PRAM, PMU, taking out RAM, etc.). I'm happy the problem has reduced itself, but I don't understand it. My only wild guess: I had a bad power adaptor which actually sometimes turned the computer totally off, a few weeks ago. (Spent who knows how many hours diagnosing that!) Since I replaced the adaptor I have not had the hang-after-sleep problem. Could these be related? Possibly. Wish I could help more.

Why does my external display go to sleep when opening an X11 window?

I'm on a 27in late 2012 iMac with Yosemite. I recently added an external monitor connected through one of the Thunderbolt ports (with a VGA adapter). I use X11 frequently - when I open an X11 program in the external monitor or drag an X11 window into that space, much of the time the display goes to sleep immediately, until I either drag the window back out or exit X11. Does anybody know why this is happening? Sometimes I can open X11 applications right through terminal in the new display, but even then they frequently look unstable, flashing and blinking.
Thank you!

Premier CS6 Playback stops when on Windows goes to sleep

When playing out a sequence to Kipro in Premier CS6, the playback stops when the Window's Display goes to sleep. I cannot currently change this setting since our IT department controls it. Is there a way to change this in Premier or do I need to have IT give us the ability to change when the Window's display sleeps?

You are Windows... you are carrying a package named Premiere Pro that you are delivering
If you stop for a nap... how does the package you are carrying deliver itself?

Is there a way to detect the event when device goes to sleep and the screen blackens?

I want to detect the event when the iOS device goes to sleep and the screen blackens?
Is there any way to do it?

Hi,
A small idea, please check whether it will work or not.
You can achieve this by using combination of DNS server and reverse proxy server.( Customized apache). Make 'A' record for www.abcd.com to reverse proxy server IP address in your DNS.
So it will resolve your reverse proxy IP address for requests.
Configure appche to accept incoming request for www.abcd.com and points towards www.abcd.com/parameters.
I think this will solve your problem. Only one condition is that proxy server will communicate with www.abcd.com on behalf of client.
Follow the link for configuration of reverse proxy server
