Can't see network computers that are sitting at their logon prompt

I have an Airport wireless network in my home. My two computers (one Imac, one Macbook) connect to the internet through the Airport connection.
From my Macbook, I can ping the Airport at 10.0.1.1 and get a response. I can ping the Macbook itself (10.0.1.3) and get a good response, too. But when I try to ping the Desktop Imac at 10.0.1.2, I get nothing but "host is down" messages, even though the desktop is booted up and sitting at its logon prompt. If I go to the Desktop and log on, and then come back to the Macbook and ping the desktop again, everything is fine.
Is this the way things are supposed to work -- i.e. a computer system is not available on the network unless someone's logged into it? This seems strange.

In case anyone cares, I found the solution myself.
Under Network in System Preferences, Show->Airport. Then, click "Options".
One of the options says to "Disconnect from wireless networks when I log out". This option was checked on the Desktop but not the Laptop. Don't know why.
Anyway, when I unchecked it, I was now able to connect to the Desktop, even when it was at its logon prompt.
Now, if I could just get the dumb things to wake up across the network ... but I understand this is not doable when the computers are connected wirelessly. Something about the wireless standard not supporting it.

  • I imported photos as cat to new hard drive. Using "find" lightroom 5 can't see any photos that are PSD, how can I fix?

    I imported photos as cat to new hard drive. Using "find" lightroom 5 can't see any photos that are PSD, how can I fix?  I can see them in the folder using windows explorer.

    This is the first time I've asked a question using the forum.  Is my question understandable?

  • I can not see any messages that are coming

    hello friends, 
    I have a problem where some users from an external domain can not send messages to my domain. 
    I get this external domain for some users but not others in the same domain. 
    those users who can not receive the external domain, can send to other domains, such as: (yahoo, google, etc.) I did tests and received, but not in my. 
    I use a scan mail for exchange, but not found where to see all messages that enter my scan mail. I just got to see if it is looking for the real time, but that and bad. 
    guide the logs I do not find any option that shows all messages that are coming. I want to make sure that the messages are coming in my scan mail for exchange. 
    I did some analysis, but I need help to do some basic tests: 
    . [email protected] and [email protected] are from the same domain. 
    Sending email User ([email protected]) - I get the two domains 
    . The email sent by the User ([email protected]), I found in my exchange 2010 tracking log. 
    . I received this same email on (yahoo.com.br). 
    . I noticed that the header of the message and the address output different from the message sent by User ([email protected]
    Sending email User ([email protected]) - Not get in my domain 
    . Not found in the tracking log of my exchange 2010 and not given any locks on my scan mail for exchange. 
    . I received this same email on (yahoo.com.br) 
    . I noticed that the header of the message and the address output different from the message sent by User ([email protected]
    General observation: 
    . When doing a test with nslookup seeking MX, MX identified that this header in the message User ([email protected]) and different from the User ([email protected]
    I'm a little confused if the problem is in some blockage in my environment or can be problem in the ([email protected]) environment. 
    Thank you. 

    Resolved. 
    As was reported, the client received an IP and not others. (Identified in the header) 
    We monitor the firewall and that confirmation that the IPs closed connection on port 25, this means that they were trying to send. 
    Looking at screen real-time Trend Scan Mail noted that at the time the User would send message apareceiam a message "User Category Spam", but gave not to identify what was the specific email. The vision is very bad. 
    Then questioned the sender if he was getting some feedback and he said yes. While viewing the message is written that there is a blockage (IP Email Rreputation) that sends the email. 
    The SPFs of making an appointment, identify the block of IP that the client could receive was registered in the SPF and what not reached, was not. 
    I believe so Trend included these IPs as bad. 
    Added the IPs whitelisted email reputation and the messages were received by the customer. 
    Thank you.

  • Can't see iPhoto pics that are edited in PS and saved back to iPhoto

    Photos that are edited in Photoshop and saved back into iPhoto don't show up in the iPhoto window. Only the originals show up. When I do a search, I see that they are saved in a "modified" folder inside iPhoto. How can I see them in the iPhoto window? I would like to "trash" some of them. Can I just drag them to the trash from the "modified" folder or will that foul up the iPhoto database?
    Rick

    Maybe this will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full sizes
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

    Right Click -->Local development > my Componenet>Build all Contained Dcs.

  • Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

    Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

    now I have this and it still doesn't work.

  • Can only see some videos that are on camera's SD card

    I would like to be able to directly import videos from my camera's SD card into iPhoto, but when I put the card in my Mac, only some of the videos show up. If I look in Finder, I can see all the clips, open them in Quicktime, export them to the computer's drive, and then import them into iPhoto (all one at a time), but obviously that is a pain. I apparently can't use the import function in iPhoto to manually import the files from the SD card, because when I try it tells me the fileare in an unreadable format. (The camera records video in AVCHD format, and stores the data in a folder structure that shows up as a package in Finder. iPhoto doesn't let me open the package to go through the folders from its Import browser window, so I can only try to open the top folder, which iPhoto apparently can't parse.)
    Any ideas welcome.
    Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20
    Mac: Macbook Pro 15" w/ Retina
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    iPhoto '11 v. 9.4.2 (710.42)
    Thanks.

    Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this. The linked support article addresses the issue directly (thank you both), but the method recommended there (importing the entire AVCHD folder structure) didn't solve the problem. The small number of videos that iPhoto could not see originally also did not get imported, though the ones that it could originally see, did. Luckily since the percentage seems to be small (~10%), it is not prohibitive to open them one by one in Quicktime, re-export them, and then import them into iPhoto. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future. Thank you all for your suggestions.

  • HT1420 Why can't iTunes show me which computers that are authorized?  Why do I need to find those computers?

    With my kids all over the place, why do I need to find every computer that is authorized?  In order to deauthorize a specific computer, i need to find that computer and deauthorize it.  i should be able to access my account and see the computers that are authorized, and select one or two for deauthorization. As an alternative, I should be able to purchase an additional pack of authorizations for my account. The authorization process is poorly designed and hard to use.

    If you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need.
    In terms of seeing a list of authorised computers and/or purchasing extra authorisations, you can try leaving feedback for Apple here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

    I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

    I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

  • Can I use this app to log on to computers that are not in a network

    I'd like to be able to log on to a few clients' computers who are not on one network and be able to provide remote tech support.
    Will this Remote Desktop app work for that, or does it only work for computers that are all on the same network?

    Thanks so much.  I couldn't tell by reading all the literature if it was possible or not and no one at Apple could help.  I had a feeling it wasn't going to work the way I wanted it to.  I will check out LogMeIn and see if that suits better.
    Appreciate very much your responding to me so quickly.
    Thank you!
