Can't wake Mac from Windows

I am having problems waking Mac computers with 10.7.3 installed from Windows 7. I set the option in Energy Saver to allow wake but they don't wake and I'm not sure if I need to use another program to wake them. I am using Real VNC to connect to them but it is not waking them up and nither does a ping. What do I need to do to wake them from a Windows 7 computer? I am also new to Mac so specifics would help.

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 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!

  • Connect to Mac from Windows

    I have three Windows systems and one Mac.
    Currently, to connect to my Mac (OSX Tiger) from Windows I have to be logged into the Mac as that user on the Windows machine.
    I have three users that access the Mac. All are setup on the Mac as users. All are setup on the Windows systems as users.
    But if John logs into the Mac and Betty tries to access the Mac from her computer she cannot. If John tries to access the Mac from his Windows system he can.
    Does anyone know how to setup the Mac so that any of the three users can connect to it from Windows regardless of who is logged in?
    I tried to set the group to staff for all the users public folders but that did not help.

    The user names and passwords are the same on both systems. That is not the issue.
    The issue is that each user can only connect to the mac from their windows system when they physically log on as user at the mac.
    Otherwise it will not even show up in their network neighborhood.
    If I boot up the mac and log in as the user, I can connect to the mac from my windows system but the other two users can't.
    Likewise if one of them logs in as the user on the mac, I cannot connect to it from my windows system.

  • Switched to MAC from Windows

    Help. I switched to MAC from Windows XP. I understand that you have to restore the settings so IPOD nano however by doing this it appears that I lose everything. How can I save all music that is saved to my NANO so I do not lose it?

    If you moved all your data from your PC to your Mac, especially the music library for iTunes, then all you need to do is load your music into the Mac version of iTunes, re-create your playlists, and then connect the nano. The fact that the nano will be erased when you re-format it for Mac isn't a problem, providing you've already loaded your music into the Mac's iTunes. Once you reformat, you just sync with iTunes and all the music is put back on the nano.

  • Is it possible for skype to wake Mac from sleep mode?

    Does anyone know if it is possible for skype to wake Mac from sleep mode?

    Sadly there is nothing in Skypes Code fot it. In fact, Skype for Mac, is one of the most Vanilla versions out. Windows Version has 5x-10x the user functionality.  Since Microflops buy into Skype, Mac versions will continue to be second rate on purpose, but be thankful, if Microflop was there from teh beginning, they woudl have banned a Mac version, just like they do in their higher tier games.

  • I'm running Windows 7 on my Mac using parallels 7. Do I need to isolate my mac from windows?

    If I isolate Mac from Windows, can I copy and paste between OS?  I use Windows 7 developer applications (Access, Visio, Visual Basic) for my job.  Wanting to make sure I am using the best practice without compromising my security of my Mac.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    There is no absolute need to isolate Windows from your Mac.
    You do, however, have to protect the Windows side of your computer with antivirus and antimalware software.
    You can decide on the level of integration.
    You can share a specific folder to move files between the two operating systems.
    You can just drag and drop files between OSX and Windows without creating a shared directory.

  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

    I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
    ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
    files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
    The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
    Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
    there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
    Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
    DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

    I somewhat agree with you.
    Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
    "7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
    Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines.  Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
    Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
    So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

  • Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

    Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
    I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and  i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
    *Edited*
    When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
    i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

    More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
    To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach.  A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group.  If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.
    Click on Install a printer on a home network to get basic steps to install a printer in a network environment.
    Click on HomeGroup: recommended links to get more information about Home Groups, including setting one up.
