Wifi turns off when screen turns off

Hi all. I noticed that my wifi turns off when my screen turns off (to save energy) on my brand new rMBP. The mac isn't asleep, just the screen as I have specified in the settings to turn off but the actual laptop is still on. Well when I move the mouse or press a key, the screen naturally comes on right away but I noticed that wifi turns on and reconnected. So if I was streaming music or something, it would stop and disconnect when the screen goes off. Does this make sense?
How do I disable this? I don't want my wifi to turn off at all when my screen turns off. If I'm downloading/streaming or whatever, I want my connection to remain on. Thoughts?

edit:
i know there's the option "prevent computer sleeping when screen is off" under power adpter, but i would like it done while running battery.
thank you.

IPod turns off when screen turns off

When my iPod screen turns off so does the sound through the headphones. I tried updates, different headphones, reboots.
Any suggestions??
I was offered 6th generation for my 1st generation recalled nano, I regret switching now as my 1st generation was still going strong.

Hi Bricky66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're experiencing some unusual behavior with your iPod nano. I'd suggest some of the troubleshooting steps in this article:
iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1382
The headphones don't work
...If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes...

Wifi turns off when screen goes to sleep - how can i disable this?

running 10.8.4 on MBA 2013
is there a way to keep wifi alive when the screen goes to sleep (automatically turns off)?
this is very annoying that i would have some internet connected application running (eg. a download) and then the screen turns itself after a timer and also cuts the wifi. this means i have to keep my screen on if i had a big file to download. is there a way around this? i cannot find any settings addressing this issue/option.
thank you.

My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi VeerleD,
If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
Specifically -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

I was trying to update to iOS 6 then I thought it was done so i left the wifi but now my screen turns blue and i cant use it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Verizon galaxy nexus-music skips and static when screen is off..

What i do is download videos using youtube
downloader and convert them into mp3. Then i connect my phone to the laptop with
the usb cable. I open my computer-galaxy nexus-music, and i drag the saved mp3
from my laptop to my phone. When i disconnect the phone,I open the music app and
I listen to my music and it sounds fine when the screen is on. When the screen
is Off the music starts to skip a little and i hear static with or without
headphones. Now i used the same procedure when i load music from my laptop with
other mp3 devices and ipods and the music sounds good when the screen is on or
off with those devices. I downloaded a song from the android market and amazon,
stored it and downloaded to my phone for offline play and both songs stutter or
static when screen is off.

From the beginning, I wasn’t too impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. Why? It’s a Samsung. Would I purchase a Samsung for a basic phone? Sure, but when it comes to “top of the line” smart phones, Samsung wouldn’t be my first, second or even third choice. Now, don’t get me wrong, I contemplating parting with 299.99 to purchase the Nexus. The ics appeal outweigh some of my skepticism.. but before I buy a phone, I sit on review boards, cnet reviews, youtube reviews, etc. etc. In addition, it’s hard to trust a new phone of its kind. All the kinks (clearly) haven’t been ironed out. I, like Rushfan2112 went with the Rezound. And I LOVE it.
But do I think the Nexus is a “poor” phone? Na. Not by a long shot. Does VZW hinder the devices full potential? Of course – but we as Verizon customers should already know this – they proved so with the Iphones. Moreover, I’m a bit confused by the lack of update to the OS as well. This phone was specifically designed and released. It’s not as if we’re waiting for a complete OS change like HTC Rezound, Rhyme, & Motorola Bionic, 4 and Razr customers are. I understand that takes time because the OS has to be modified for each device. But the Nexus started with ICS, the ambiguity in the software updates is ridiculous….

Is that all the information available? Nothing else happens? Sound or icons or anything? Try starting up while holding CMD V down and take pictures of the screen and upload them here

Hello Caddilacman,
I understand you want to have the printer to shut off when you turn the computer off.
Well I checked out the manual for your printer and I didn't see the option listed there, so I consulted with a printer expert and they explained to me this printer doesn't have that function. So you would have to manually shut it off with power button the way you’re doing it now.
Here is the link for the user guide for the printer to show any other questions that you might have.

Why doesn't my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.

Stream7 - bluetooth audio streaming goes off when i turn the display off!

I have a hp stream 7 that is connected via bluetooth to my loudspeakers.
Everything is fine until the display turns off or i press the power butten to turn off the display.
When i turn on the display(press power button) the sound starts and play normally.
I can't find any option to turn off this behaviour in w8.1. Can you help?

The microsoft music player that is on the tiles metro section of windows supports music playback when the connected standby is activated. Unfortunatly if you are looking to go any further than this you will need to change over all your power control settings to that of a laptop.
I instructed another user of it in this post here, http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Windows-Tablets/Stream-7-Can-t-Turn-off-screen-without-putting-tablet-i...
