Apple tv 2 wake mac running lion

Hi,
Ok so every night I put my iMac to sleep and every morning my kids are telling me to wake up the iMac because there is no library showing in Apple TV 2.  But I have my System Prefs set to wake for network access.  What am I missing and what do I need to do to make this work?  My Mac is current model iMac latest updates.  Thanks,
rc

you must have itunes running.
even if the mac were to wake up, if itunes wasn't running then appletv would have nothing to connect to.

    Hello,
    There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari).  They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end.  That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today.  BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
    The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
    Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

  • I have two macs running lion.

    I have two macs running lion. Can I wirelessly transfer files from one to the other or do I need to move files to a USB device? I thought therre was a mac program that did that.
    Thanks

    AirDrop is not necessary, it merely makes it more seemless.
    You can use simple file sharing over any Mac network:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1549
    Note gigabit ethernet is fastest, Firewire 800 is next, then is Firewire 400, then is 802.11n, and 802.11g for networking. I would not have an 802.11b or 802.11a network unless you aren't anywhere within 1500 feet (500 meters) of someone who could sniff out your network, as wireless security at those speeds is easily breached.
    If you have Firewire 400 or 800 cables and the supported ports, Target Disk Mode is a lot easier to setup for moving files around:

  • How do I get OS Mountain Lion on to my mac running Lion?

    I have a recently purcased iMac running Lion.  I have downloaded the Messages beta.  But, I am wondering this: When Mountain Lion is released, am I eligible for a free upgrade? Is it something I can download or do I have to takeit to an Apple retail store? Any help is appreciated!!!!

    I seriously doubt you will be able to download and install ML for free when it comes out. Maybe if you bought the system a week or 2 before the newer OS came out but it is not scheduled for release for a few months.
    It will be something that you buy from the App Store and download. Although you might also be able to go to an Apple store and have them install it, after paying for it.

  • Deleted SAFARI on mac running LION 10.7.1

    I deleted safari on my imac running lion 10.7.1 do I have reinstall Lion ( I didn't get a disc with lion I remember it was a download)   can I download safari?
    Can you advise me what to do
    Regards
    DB

    The version I've linked to should be the current version - 5.1, 64-bit, full-screen mode support, etc, etc.  It should work fine on Lion - certainly I'm not aware of any technical reason it wouldn't.  Apple does't, as far as I know, release seperate versions of their applications for different operating systems.  At worst, what happens is that older versions of the application won't work on newer versions of the OS, because API have changed or there are incompatible features.
    OS X 10.6.8 was the version of SL from which users upgrade to Lion...Safari 5.1 should therefore work for OS X 10.6.8 or later.  Or later including 10.7.  If not, I'd be very curious to find out why.

  • Cant sign into apple store when installing mac osx lion 10.7

    please help me when i go to sign into apple store for installing max osx lion 10.7 it says item temporairly unavailble try again later.

    Hi Cridda7,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to update your Apple computer but when you attempt to access the Mac App Store, you receive an alert that the store is temporarily unavailable. In this situation, I would recommend the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article. The steps will be the same as if you were troubleshooting this alert for the iTunes Store.

  • FaceTime Failed....  Mac running Lion

    I launch FaceTime on my Mac (Lion) and log in normally.  I click on a favorite and FaceTime 'rings' on the other computer.  The other computer accepts the call and both computers display 'Connection...'.  After 10 seconds or so, I get a 'FaceTime Failed...' message.  This happens whether I'm initiating or receiving a call, and whether I'm calling another Mac or an iPhone or iPad.
    Solutions?

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro.  Both are running Lion.  I'm having the FaceTime problem on the MPB.  The iMac works perfectly.  Maybe I should reinstall Lion on my MBP?

  • How do I get Windows XP onto my new mac running lion when boot camp only gives me the option for windows 7

    Hi   I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
    My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
    The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?
    Chris

    With OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
    That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
    You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
    Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

  • Apple tv 2 wake Mac from sleep

    Does iTunes need to be running in background when putting mac to sleep. My apple TV2 will not wake my mac (on ethernet through TC) unless iTunes is running or minimized in background. Is this normal or can iTunes be exited completely before sleeping the mac and still have ATV awaken it?

    you must have itunes running.
    even if the mac were to wake up, if itunes wasn't running then appletv would have nothing to connect to.
