Apple TV-wake on lan

I synch photos and stream the rest from a mac mini to my appletv. (Beside of the "loosing appletv in itunes" problem)..Is appletv ment to wake up my "sleeping" mac mini, like wake on lan?

Do You think thats why appletv looses contact with ítunes... because the computer with itunes falls asleep and appletv can´t wake them up?

Wake on Lan works on my MacBook Pro, not on my iMac...

Hello everyone, with all these threads about the problem, I wanted to start a new one to make it clear, with all information you may need in order to help me out.
I've got a MacBook Pro '15 and an iMac 21.5', both are running (clean install) OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2, both are up to date with the latest updates, both have the same apps, both have the same settings in "system preferences", and of course the same settings in "sharing" options.
My iMac is connected to my 5GHz network from my Time Capsule while my MacBook Pro use the 2.4GHz network.
Before going to bed, I leave both my Macs turned on, after 10min they go to sleep automatically. In the morning I can wake up my MacBook Pro from my iPhone or iPad with a screen sharing app.
The iMac doesn't respond at all. It stays in sleep mode. I can leave my MacBook Pro asleep for a week, it always responds. The iMac responds after a few hours but after 6 or 8 hours it seems to be completely asleep and doesn't respond to anything. If you think it's about the iPhone/iPad's app, when I try to wake the iMac from my MacBook Pro with "Back to my Mac" I have the same results.
I tried to connect my iMac to the 2.4GHz network: same problem.
OF COURSE "WAKE ON LAN" is activated in my system preferences.
I made a reset of the PRAM, the cache and the SMC on my iMac: same problem.
I type sudo periodic daily weekly monthly in the terminal and sudo dscacheutil -flushcache: same problem.
I tried everything I may have found in the forums or on this Support from people having the same issue: same problem.
I even tried to set the iMac with the same sleep mode as my MacBook Pro: same problem.
PLEASE HELP ME!

I understand that, but if your router is not an Apple AirPort Base Station then it introduces an element of uncertainty. Apple has implemented many changes related to wireless networking recently.
You are complicating matters by changing networkoversleep:
networkoversleep - this setting affects how OS X networking presents shared network services during system sleep. This setting is not used by all platforms; changing its value is unsupported.
Solving problems like this requires that you simplify your network environment and eliminate its unknowns. Using third party routers and making unsupported changes runs counter to simplification.
The iMac stays connected to the Time Capsule about 6 hours during sleep. Then it dissapears...
The iMac wakes periodically (every few hours) to inform your router of its network presence for Wake on LAN demands. Try changing your router's DHCP lease period to something longer than a few hours. For a home environment, a few days is more appropriate. This may not solve the problem, but it is better than making unsupported changes to your system.

HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP Mystery Wake on LAN

The printer wakes unexpectedly, and unpredictably on the network. I cannot determine what, if anything, is waking it. The printer wakes and goes into calibration without any users on the network and without any print jobs. Mystery wake on LAN.

The HP drivers won't load on my 10.10.x (10.10.1 thru 10.10.4) OSX macbook pro. The install says the version of OSX isn't supported even thought I've tried 1.5.0 dmg file which is for 10.7 and greater. I did the math and I believe 10.10.x is greater than any version of 10.7. I also tried HP Easy Scan and it doesn't even see my scanner. Printing works fine, but I scan a lot of paper. Also, I've found that the Mac OSX version of the HP software (when it still worked) creates obscenely large PDF files. I can get around this by opening Adobe Acrobat Pro and re-saving the file as a reduced file size with the same name. I can take a 25 MB file HP creates and get it down to about 300KB or so. I found a way around all this but you won't like it. I've loaded Parallels (installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit) and installed the windows client in my parallels image. The windows client works fine. Not a solution I prefer, but this is an HP issue not an apple issue .... HP hasn't put out a driver for this printer in the better part of 3.5 years. Lastly, I'm not hooking up a USB cable to my printer/fax/scanner .... what's the point of having a dhcp network capable printer if I have to hard wire to a PC? I've used HP printers since the mid-'90s, but I guess it's time to find a company that supports OSX.

Wake on lan - I can't get it to work

Sorry for the nubie here.
I am unable to wake my new iMac from my Macbook using WakeOnLand. The MB is using wifi and the others are using ethernet.
Also, I am unable to see a G4 running 10.4.11.
The MB and iMac are running 10.6.2. No firewalls.
I have a Dlink router and know how to get into its admin page but really am afraid to change its configurations due to lack of knowledge.
Any help appreciated.
Lewis

no. wake on lan works over ethernet only. it does not matter what router you use. but SNow leopard has a new feature "wake on demand" that does work over wireless. but for that you need a very recent apple router (TC or AEBS) and and a very recent computer.

Airport Extreme- anybody have a workaround for the lack of Wake on LAN ?

I've read in a number of places that the Airport Extreme (and other Apple routers) don't allow for the standard Wake on LAN packet to wake a sleeping Mac.
Does anybody know of a workaround for the Airport Extreme that might allow for waking a sleeping Mac on the LAN remotely ?
Thanks,
Ed

Macintoshes on heterogeneous networks - wake on lan

Hi All,
I've been setting up a couple of Macintosh labs this summer, using Intel based iMacs running Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard). I've purchased Apple Remote Desktop to allow me to manage all the Macs from my office. The one problem I've run into that I can't fix is waking up the Macs across our network after they've gone to sleep. Our (Windows-based) DHCP server sees the Macs go to sleep and then disconnects them from the network; so my directed broadcast WOL (Wake on LAN) packets fall in the bit bucket. Our computer center folks say there's a fix for this, but they won't do it because they claim it opens up our entire network to a distributed denial of service attack. My workaround is to never let the Macs go to sleep - which I hate because when idle they draw 48W of power each, and when asleep only 2.4W.
Anyone out there have a heterogeneous network that allows Macs to safely sleep?
thanks,
john

hehe, yeah I've been through this and feel your frustrations. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Here is your answer!!!
Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>Network Adapter>>> Select the netowrk adapter, right click and select Properties. Select the Advanced tab and then go down the list and look for "Wake on Settings">on the right select disable.
It should not "Turn On' randomly now.
Cheers,
Michael

Can't Wake-On-LAN up iBook from Sleep Options

Seasons Greetings!
I can't get my 1.25gHz eMac to wake my 900mHz G3 iBook from sleep to
auto backup overnight via the Wake-On-LAN feature using an Ethernet
connection and Wake 550. I set the Administrator Wake tab in the
Energy Panel and looked up my iBook's Machine Address in the Network
Utility to type into the Machine Address box in Wake 550 but no go. I
even put in the IP and my iBook still sleeps. Any hints?
Thanks!

I'm starting to wnder if the PB has a Wake-On-LAN compatible ethernet card!?
Or if maybe you have something like a Cat-3 cable that doesn't have as many lines as a Cat-5e/Cat-6 cable?
After hours of experimentation WOL, 550, & Nudge all work reliably for waking if you have a WOL Ethernet card, somewhere above a Cat-2 cable, even if the originator is Airport only to an Ethernet Router that the others connect to.
Can't find much info as to which Macs have WOL capable cards except that up to the original iMac they didn't. I'm thinking maybe a G3 Powerbook doesn't since it's on the list of needing a Crossover cable to connect to another on that list...

Wake on Lan feature

More of a comment then a query but I'm amazed that the WOL is not implemented correctly. Very frustrating that it only works when a system is in sleep mode. If a PC is off it can be woken up, so why Apple chose not to allow this is beyond me.
This means if I need to image some systems I have to go and switch each one on manually. I'd chose to have each systems default boot-device as the network card so if no netboot foud it'd go and boot off the HDD.

Wake-on-LAN is implemented correctly, in that a sleeping Mac can be awakened by a signal across the network. What you want is Boot-on-LAN, and that's never been a feature of Macs (at least not any I can remember, back to the original Mac models) with the exception of the Intel-based Xserves. But you can submit your comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

Wake on Lan doesn't work anymore

Hello all,
I have 3 computers (1 iMac and 2 Mac Mini) connected via Wifi or Ethernet to my router.
One Mac Mini (a Late 2006 under Snow Leopard) is used as a "NAS" with 2 USB external hard drives.
"Wake for network access" is checked in Energy Saver Preference pane.
Everything has worked fine for months : the "NAS" Mac Mini woke up everytime I choose it in the Finder.
But, since an Apple TV update, Wake on LAN doesn't work anymore, and that's the case for my 3 computers.
And I don't know exactly which update has broken the Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
I've tried to restore my Apple TV, without success...
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

Yes, anonymous filtering was unchecked and I had singularly forwarded ports 7 and 9 to the static IP address set up in the DHCP, trying UDP, TCP, then both. (I was desperate!). Then I forwarded both ports doing the same thing, UDP, TCP, both. I know it uses UDP, but again, I was desperate. I turned off the firewalls completely and again, as a last resort, I put the computer to be woke up in the DMZ to no avail. It's the firmware (= I'm unimpressed with my first Cisco purchase).

Wake over LAN

Since updating to X.6.8 my MP has problems waking remotely. I'm connected to my router by Ethernet.
I haven't tried all that much to resolve this as I'm not aware there is anything else but the wake over LAN checkbox to enable this service. I have tried unchecking the box and re-checking it, I've also tried restarting my router and setting a different length of time before the MP goes to sleep.
Oddly enough I can wake the MP if I try a little time after it goes to sleep, but if I leave it for several hours it won't wake.
It isn't just one situation/application that won't wake it either, my Apple TV won't, shared devices from the finder on other macs won't and other services like the Apple remote app and eyeTV app from the iPhone won't either.
Any thoughts.

hoping someone can help me here, as I want to accomplish WOL in my workplace. I'm in a building that has a central router that divides the internet into 4 different offices (into jacks in the wall). The central router is a linksys befsr41 that I don't have access to because it belongs to the property manager. The central router's ip address is 192.168.1.1 This router is not wireless, but I need wireless in my office, so I have my wrt54gc in my office to use with my tablet pc. I've gotten my computer to wake up no problem over LAN at home, over WAN at home (from remote location), but when I'm at my office (2 routers chained together) I don't know what I need to do to get it to work consistently. So my questions are: 1. What settings, if any, do i need to change on the central router? Do I need to port forward to the IP of MY router (or my CPU)?? 2. Same question for my router? I've looked all over the net and can't find any info on what to do for WOL in a multiple router environment such as mine. I guess I need to somehow tell that magic packet thingy to go through the central router, then through my router, and recognize my MAC address and ip. I really appreciate help in this matter.

GE70 2OE Wake On Lan

Just bought a new GE70 2OE and can't find any power management tab on the bios to try to configure the wake on lan ou usb option. MSI Support won't answer my question. Anybody got a solution?
Thanks

Actually it doesn't require any operating system or higher function, and Apple isn't complying with the wake-on-lan standard by only providing WOL from sleep.
Any PC with WOL can start cold from complete power off. This is all done at the hardware level, no OS at all.
During power off, the power supply is still providing power. Any machine that complies with WOL, keeps the network interface powered up. No IP address, no operating system... just the physical interface watching the raw network traffic.
A broadcast packet containing the NIC's MAC address (unique hardware address, not IP address) should trigger it to tell the machine to power on. In PCs with NICs on the motherboard this is all internal, in PCs with NIC cards, the power is drawn from the constant 5V on the PCI bus, and there is sometimes a small cable connected to the motherboard which is used to trigger the power on (same as the front panel button).
Apple is simply choosing not to implement this feature, it's not because it can't easily be done.
Come on Apple... comply with the standard!

No Wake-On-LAN for powered-down Macs?

I'm relatively new to Mac and don't have a lot of Mac experience or knowledge. Last week I completed the "Mac OS X Deployment v10.4" training in Sydney where the trainer told me that Wake-On-LAN will only work if the Mac in question is in sleep mode -i.e., you can't wake up a Mac that has been shut down. Is this really true?
As an administrator of Windows machines this seems like quite a shortcoming. From where I am sitting I can rebuild any room of computers in any town in my area of control (an area greater than 100,000 square kilometres in NSW, Australia) without having to be there physically to turn on the PCs. At the moment our two Mac rooms are located at my own site, but without Wake-On-LAN, there's no way I could see Macs being deployed anywhere else.
If Wake-On-LAN really does only work with Macs in Sleep mode, then how much power does a 20" Intel iMac draw when in Sleep mode? I really don't like the idea of setting a schedule for every Mac to turn on at a certain time then have them go into sleep mode each and every day on the off chance that I might want to rebuild just one of them. This seems like an awful waste of power to me.
Don't get me wrong, here. I'm not trying to flame because I'm very - very - impressed with Mac in almost every other respect (except the Finder and the Dock) and would switch to Mac long before I stomach Vista, but no Wake-On-LAN to me seems like an incredible stumbling block to Mac adoption.
Intel iMac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I've already complained of Mac's variation from the "standard" WOL implementation. This problem goes a step deeper as I just discovered.
If in the energy saver options you check the "Restart after a power failure event", the machine will do just that. If the power fails, and then comes back, the machine will boot.
If however, you cleanly shut down the machine, and then power fails, it does not turn back on when the power recovers. All PC's that have auto-power on with AC power restored set in their bios don't care if the machine was cleanly shutdown or crashed... when power comes back, it boots.
The problem here is that when a UPS detects a power failure and eventually decides to shut down the attached computer it should do so cleanly, not by just crashing it (that defeats the purpose of having a UPS!). After the computer turns off, the UPS will turn itself off, cutting power to the computer all together. When the AC power to the UPS returns, and the batteries charge sufficiently, it will turn BACK on, and restore power to the computers.
As it stands now, I have no mechanism by which to force my Mac to boot back up! I could depend on a linux machine on the network (that does behave properly) to send a WOL packet, but it doesn't do that correctly either... so I'm SOL
I can understand having 3 options for reboot after power restore. (1. Restore Always, 2. Restore when system on and power fails, 3. Never Restore).
Only giving us options 2 and 3 is just an oversight of how computers are used in the real world. For the desktop user that may on rare occasion find his machine powered off, and just presses the power button, this is a non issue... But in my opinion this completely eliminates a Mac like this from being used as a webserver/mailserver or other application where uptime is paramount.
I can't believe that Apple would overlook something so important and not provide a mechanism by which a UPS could turn a computer back on after a power recovery. Perhaps there is a non-published setting that doesn't have a check box on a form, that an OEM UPS driver would set that says "pretend you crashed".

OS X Lion no longer wakes on lan to share external drive

I have an Air and a Mini, both running Lion. The Mini has an external hard drive connected that it uses for Time Machine. That hard drive is also shared on the network so that the Air can automatically mount it and back up to it as well. This was working great under Snow Leopard, even automatically waking the Mini to share the drive as necessary.
After installing Lion, the Air's backup only works if the Mini happens to be awake already. If the Mini is asleep, the Air gives an error: "The backup disk could not be found."
The Mini is connected by wire to the router, which the Air connects to wirelessly. The Mini is set to wake on LAN in its preferences, and the Air automatically mounts the drive when it is available, just not when the Mini is asleep. How do I make sure that the Mini wakes up properly for file sharing?

You won't get wake-on-LAN working under Lion because it is broken, and has been since Lion 10.7.1
It's been reported by lots of people, including me, but Apple continue to advertise it as one of 250 new Lion features here, under networking / low power wake.

Your options are revert to Snow Leoard, leave you mac switched on all the time or buy a PC
Hope this helps

Wake on lan from power OFF

It appears that Mac's don't provide wake on lan from complete power off. I have no problem powering up my Mac from sleep, but it won't turn on from power off (like every PC I've tried). This is not difficult to do, as every $200 PC on the market w/ WOL does it.
I have my Mac on a large shared UPS with serveral other computers and network gear, etc.
There is a linux server which actually communicates with the UPS. During a power failure, that linux box will connect to ever other machine on the network sharing this UPS and tell them to SHUT OFF, not sleep, because hard power failure is emminent. When all remote machines are off, the linux machine shuts off, and the UPS powers off it's outlets.
On power recovery, the UPS waits until it's batteries are sufficiently recharged, and turns back on, powering up it's protected outlets. All the machines see power come back on, and are set to reboot.
Here is the problem. If the power comes back on AFTER the remote machines are shut down, but before the linux box turns off, the linux box sees power recovery, and the UPS never shuts off it's protected outlets. Now all the remote machines are off, and won't ever see their power cut off, and then recover, so they don't turn back on.
The PCs are easy... hit them with a wake-on-lan packet and they reboot from complete power off... but not the trusty Mac because Apple didn't implement that part of the wake-on-lan standard!
So... I'm faced with abandoning wake on lan for all the machines and building an interface with a big relay to KILL power to all remote machines to power them back on. Isn't this more than just a little silly? Apple... why not just make your machine comply with the standard so that it plays nicely in a mixed environment!
Providing wake on lan from sleep, and power on with power recovery, but no wake on lan from OFF is just ridiculous.
I welcome any ideas...
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Malcolm,
If I make it sleep, then I'm forcing it to crash when the power turns off. The idea here is for a graceful shutdown before emminent power failure when the UPS battery runs out.
The only reason it's getting shut down is that the main power has failed and the UPS battery is running low.
I agree that with no power they can't interpret packets and react... but that's why proper wake-on-lan implementations keep the NIC powered up to watch for WOL packets.
Thanks,
-Russ

Using verizon wifi fios router - need to wake on lan mountain lion

There is a lot of discussion about this issue, but other than using apple routers, I haven't seen a way to get this to work: I want to wake up my local macmini w/ mountain lion from my other macs. I have the settings set up to do it on the macs, but it is not getting through the network. Probably has to do with a setting in the router, but I need help to know how to do that. Thanks.

If it's useful, here's a write-up on wake on LAN and related topics from a while back, with links to various other documents, tools and mechanisms.
Various of Apple's wireless devices provide what's known as a sleep proxy for the target system. That is, the wireless devices mimic "being" the target device, and will wake the target device when there's activity determined to be necessary.
For the wake-on-LAN stuff, all of the intermediate routers have to support the traffic, and they almost certainly won't... As an alternative, get a firewall with a VPN server, VPN to that, and have at.
If you're particularly inclined, there are various fairly affordable network-connected power strips, or (more expensive) network-connected battery-backed power supplies; remote-managed less-interruptable power supplies. These can be used for controlling power, once you're connected to the VPN server on your LAN.
