Can ATV wake up a sleeping imac?

I would like my ATV to wake up my sleeping imac. My config:
ATV <-> AEX <-> AEBS <-> AEX <-> imac
Network is 5Ghz 802.11n
imac runs 10.4.
Under energy preferences I have set "Wake up for administrative ethernet access"
I have also installed "wakonlan" but I don't think it works for me.
Any ideas? I hate to walk upstairs all the time when I want to stream something onto the ATV. On the other hand I don't want to leave the imac on all the time.
Thanks!

as far as i am aware (and based on other users experiences on here) - no it can't wake up a host PC.

Help me!!!!!!My iBook 800mhz sometimes can't wake up after sleep mode...!!

Hi everybody. I'm a happy mac user sinc 2001, and i have since 2004 an ibook G4 800mhz. Ok, everything good, the problem is that from today if i leave the ibook in stop mode for half an hour for exemple it can't wake up, everything seems dead and i have to push the power button for 4 second and then turn the computer on again. If the sleep mode duration is about 5 minutes ok, otherwise it can't wake up. whyy???? what is the problem? i reset pram, nvram and pmu, but nothing. everything else works perfectly, but this is a very important problem for me because i risk to lose my work because i have always to reboot the system.
Pleas help me!!!
Ps i'm sorry for english, but i'm italian...
thanks a lot

annihilator,
Quoting from my own post:
""It could be a PMU problem. The PMU is actually a tiny computer within the computer. It's official designation is PMU99.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeveloperNotes/Macintosh_CPUs-G4/12inchPowerBookG4/2_Architecture/chapter_3_section4.html
"Power Control IC
The power manager IC in the 12-inch PowerBook G4 is a Mitsubishi M16C/62F microprocessor, also called the PMU99. It operates with its own RAM and ROM. The functions of the PMU99 include:
*controlling the sleep and power on and off sequences<</div>
*real time clock
*controlling power to the other ICs
*monitoring the battery charge level
*controlling battery charging
*supporting the interface to the built-in keyboard (AND TRACK PAD)
The PMU99 also provides the hardware interface to the keyboard. Software in the PMU99 IC scans the keyboard, then sends the data to the system in packets like those from the ADB. To the system, the keyboard behaves as if they were ADB devices""
Try resetting it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If that doesn't work try what I call a deep PMU reset.
Pull all power including the battery, push the power button to remove residual charge in soft start capacitors.
Then walk away from it for at least 10 hours.
This has worked for Macs with the PMU99 since the G3 Desktops and especially the G4 Towers (Sawtooth, GI, MD, etc)
Also:
i had a problem with trackpad that became crazy, but i unmount it from the case i clean it and now it works better than perfecty.
Could you explain this more clearly? You opened up the iBook, then
i unmount it from the case
so you removed the trackpad part itself from the upper case? the trackpad part and associated circuitry? Was it glued to the upper case? in that kind of little well it sits in? But you didn't break the plastic welds that hold the "clicker" part to the upper case?
i clean it and now it works better than perfecty.
Which part was dirty?

Can't wake up after sleep mode

Mac owner for 2 months now and have had no problems till today...had to reboot to wake up from sleep mode...one time occurrence or start of an issue?

That's an important one. Let it finish normally until you are fully rebooted and things are stable.
Whenever I get a firmware update like that one, I follow nine steps to ensure my computer is in top shape. Basically, they represent checking the disk for errors, fixing the errors, fixing the permissions, and setting the default memory values to whatever was in the firmware.
1) shutdown the computer
2) push the power buttom and as soon as you hear the chime, hold the option key and don't let go
3) when you see your boot options, let go of the key and select recovery partition (Lion only)
4) select disk utility from the options, then highlight Macintosh HD, do a repair the disk and repair permissions
5) now click the apple icon in the upper corner and shutdown
6) pull the power cord and hold the on button for 15 seconds
7) plug it back in, and find the option, P, command, & R keys
8) hit the power button and as soon as you hear the chime, hold all four keys (it takes two hands)
9) wait until you hear the startup chime twice and let go, allow the computer to finish booting
I'm not recommending you do it, it is just what I do. Good luck.

MB can't wake up from sleep anymore

Hi,
Since 1 month or so my laptop is not able to wake up from sleep when I open the lid. The screen just stays black and I have to do a hard reset in order to use the computer again. Called apple help center and they made me repair permissions on the disk utility as well as re-installing mavericks, but it didn't change anything. This problem occurs maybe 4 or 5 times out of 10. Before the last update of mavericks I didn't had this problem.
Do you have any idea what could be going on ?
Thanks !

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully (some of it is hidden by disclosure triangles) and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading "Additional troubleshooting." If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
          Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
This step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for Diagnostic and Usage Messages. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in Step 1, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

How can I remotely wake up my sleeping iMac using a remote access app?

I am using Splashtop Remote Access on my iPad (gen. 1) to connect to any of 3 Macs: Intel iMac; MacBook Pro; Mac Mini; and a Win 7 Toshiba Laptop. The connection works very well with each of the computers allowing complete control of each. The only problem is I can't connect if the target is asleep. I don't see any setting in System Preferences to enable a wakeup when my remote access is attempted. Any suggestions?

The only problem is I can't connect if the target is asleep.
That's to be expected.

Can't wake up after sleep

I bought a Macbook (15-inch, Late 2011) at Amazon on April 26, 2012, and I made it to be my primary laptop.
The Laptop is wonderful but sometimes I got a problem. After finishing the work I will turn my Macbook into sleep by pressing the sleep button under the top-left apple menu. However, the next day I found I have no way to wake it up, neither the keyboard nor the mouse would work. Even the power button fails to wake up my Macbook. Unless I force the Macbook shut down by long pressing the power button, and restart it again.
Such situation happened to my Macbook many times when it was fully charged. The problem is quite annoying and discouraging. Is it the common problem of Macbooks? And how can I deal with the problem?
Thank you.
Regards,
Fan

No. This is not the normal behavior.

X200 - Can't wake up from sleep

I can, but my laptop can't
When my new X200 has been in sleep mode for a longer period of time, (>10 min) It won't wake up.
I haven't noticed if it happened every time, but last time the fan came on, but the half moon status led was still lit, and nothing else happened.
Each time it has happened, the screen doesn't turn on and nothing happens, whatever I press. I have been forced to hold down the power button until the laptop has turned off.
I got a tip from a support worker (my space-key had started squeeking within a week) that I should install the latest fingerprint-reader software. The problem was that I already had the latest version.
Has anybody else experienced this, and maybe got a solution?
Regards
TJMacGyver.

I have exactly the same fault in the wild. X200 - XP Pro - SP3. It appears that the issue occurrs when the computer is resumed after having "powered down the hard drive" whilst locked and on-screensaver. When you wake it back up again it just brings up a blank background but does not bring up the Ctrl-Alt-Delete screen so that you can log back in. The only way I've found so far to bring the computer back to life without restarting is to RDP to the laptop , and log in as the currently logged in user. This forces the "Computer is locked - press control-alt-delete to unlock" to display on the laptop screen, and after disconnecting that session on whichever machine you've used to RDP to the computer you can sucessfully log back in locally to the machine itself. Great news if you have a networks worth of machines around all on the same domain and configured for remote access. Not such good news if this is the only machine that you've got.
Anyone got any ideas?

Can't wake Mac from sleep.

This is a new problem. Yesterday, when I tapped the keyboard to wake my iMacG5 (Dec., 2004), she went black. ON button no help.
Unplugged power cord, replugged, then ON button. She fired up.
Instead of putting Mac to sleep at the end of the day, I shut it down. This morning, used the ON button to get it going. No problem.
But later, when I used Sleep, the same thing happened. Touching the keyboard did not wake her up. Black screen again. Unplug and replug again.
Any ideas or does this require a trip to the Genius bar?
Thanks!

Unplugging and replugging essentially resets the SMU, so it seems the you are at the beginning of a power/thermal problem. See if you qualify for Apple's Repair extension programs, they will say that it's only good for three years after the date of purchase, but try a little gentle persuasion and see if you can't make them help you.

Can't wake Pismo from sleep - no green light

I have a Pismo G3 all working perfectly with a new harddrive new ram etc, but I have a intermittent problem that when I leave the computer alone it will go to sleep, the screen goes black and the green light on the hinge will pulse up and down as it should, and if I wake the computer it pops back to life as it should, except sometimes when I come back to use the computer the screen is black BUT the green light is OFF, no pluse and the computer is unresponsive and I cannot wake it up? the only way I know it is still on is the fact I can hear the hard drive and in the end I am forced to do a hard reboot????
Any ideas anyone?

Bluefusion,
This is a known problem not only on the Pismo but even some of the later models...powerbook wakes from sleep with a dark display.
One workaround some have found useful: Just close the display and wait until the sleep light indicates normal sleep, then open the display.
Here is an extensive tutorial for wake-from-sleep issues:

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

[SOLVED] Can't wake up from sleep!

Hi!
I installed arch on my Acer Aspire 3810T. I run it with gnome 3, for more detail. Whenever I try to put it to sleep mode (either through the button or through the menu) it goes correctly to sleep mode (I see the led blinking in orange, just like it does on Windows, screen goes off, etc). When trying to wake up the LED turns back on, lasts about 1-2 seconds and it shutdowns itself making that terrible sound of the disk, just like when you hold down the power button to force shutdown it.
This has never worked on linux on this computer. I have run Ubuntu on a wide variety of computers and I never had problems putting the computer to sleep. On this laptop it just doesn't work on any distro. What logs should I review?
Thanks!

I had a similar issue with a Dell Mini Inspiron 10 - the solution was to disable Intel Speedstep in the BIOS, and the problem was resolved. Maybe it is the same issue here?
Take a look at the following article:

MacBook Air not wake up after sleep

Hi,
My MacBook Air(Mid 2012) can't wake up after sleep. I recently updated operation system to Mac OS X Mavericks and now after sleep mode screen goes black and nothing happens after this. Only thing that I could do is hard reboot by pressing power button and boot again. Do anyone have the same issue and suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
Dmitrii

Same thing here. MBA 2011 working perfectly until I updated to Mavericks.
It often doesn't wake up fully. It does draw the password input box but there's no text cursor and no input is possible. The mouse cursor is not visible either. Waiting does nothing (tried ~15 minutes, no change). Closing the lid does not put the laptop back to sleep, it's fully frozen and the only way out is a reboot by holding the power button.

I can't wake my iMac from sleep

I upgraded my mid 2007 24" imac to Mavericks. After the upgrade after 10 min my screen goes black (sleep). I can't wake the system up. After a few mins it shuts off. Since then I tried several things to figure out was it mavericks or just timing of an issue. Since then I added a new hard drive, then added Mountain lion back on and replaced the memory from 4 gig to new 4 gig. I still get the same issue. After 5 - 10 min the imac goes to sleep mode and I can't awaken it. If I pull the plug out and plug back in I have about 5 - 10 min again before it goes black. It is out of apple warranty so any help I would appreciate. I would like to fix it and I can do it myself if I knew what it was. Power Supply?, Video Card? Logic Board? Any ideas or checks I can do? I am technical and I can disassemble and reasemble myself. Is there any *ram that could have gotten updated or corrupt while upgrading the first time to Mavericks???

I've set the "Wake on Demand" in the system preference, but don't know the way to wake it up.

It wakes up automatically in response to requests for certain sharing services.
