E3000 - WoL - Works Once, But Then Not Again
Greetings,
I am using WoL for one of the PC's connected to a E3000 on my home network. I can successfully power on the PC from S3 (standby) or S5 (power off) state one or more times, but after a certain amount of time the E3000 fails to send packets to the destination PC and it fails to wake.
Logging indicates packets are being received by the router. They just stop being forwarded to the destination after a certain period of time. I haven't measured this time exactly.
Research indicates that the router might be removing the destination PC's IP from it's ARP table, which in turn makes the PC unreachable until it is manually powered on and off again (S5) or put into standby (S3).
It works reliably and consistently, then stops within a few hours. The issue is not related to power management on the NIC. As I said, packets on the WAN are received successfully from the outside. Packets on the LAN are also received, but not forwarded for wake.
I am using various utilities to wake. All work well.

Magic Packet
Mocha VNC for iPhone
Does anyone have ideas what can be done to make waking the PC consistent? The only other thing I haven't tried is manually inputting the static IP on the NIC... the same IP that is reserved for it's MAC address set up on the E3000.
Thanks In Advance

Solved!
Go to Solution.
For Wake on LAN to work on a computer, it must have the following:
• A wired connection to an active computer network
• Motherboard
• Network adapter and adapter driver that supports the standard Magic Packet format
• Computer basic input/output system (BIOS) configured for WoL
• An operating system that supports WoL
• All routers between the remote location and computer required to WoL must allow IP directed broadcasts and support IPv4

We're retired,new to IMac, I downloaded Steam for my husbands football manager 2011.It ran successfully for few weeks, but now will not allow him to start up his game.I got help from the mac team and it worked for one day but again has the same fault....help please
Your download or install of the update may have been corrupt. Visit the Mac App Store and re-download the update or visit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726 and download the 10.9.2 update combo and re-install.
If that fails to solve the problem please post back and post a EtreCheck Report which you can locate at:

I am unable to download photos from my iphone4 , SD card , SLR camera to my ipad2 using apple accessories , please help , it has worked once and then never again.
Plumchunks-
The only accessory I know of that can be used to transfer photos from a camera or SD card to the iPad, is the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The kit consists of two adapters. One has an SD card socket. The other has a USB connector to connect directly to the camera.
I do not think you can transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad unless you first transfer them to a computer. If you then transfer the photos to an SD card, they must have eight character names plus suffix and be stored in a DCIM folder, just as if they came from a camera.
One thing you can try is to reboot the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Rebootting will not hurt anything and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

My thunderbolt to hdmi cable worked once but then stopped
so i bought a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and it work great but when i took out the hdmi and put it in my console id didnt work when i checked if it would work with the adapter is didnt so this adaper stoped working a broke my HDMI cord
Hi, how did you solve your problem? Im having the exact same issue.
"When connected to the TV via the Thunderbolt-HDMI cable, a blue screen briefly appears on the Macbook. However, when looking in System Preferences/ Displays, there is no trace of any external screen. Many of the forums I have read say there should be an "Arrangement" tab, but this is not appearing on mine."
plus the cable works on my boyfriend's Macbook Air, which is an older version than mine.
I have the Macbook Air Version 10.8.4, bought July 2013 (newest version).
Can someone help me?

Link to tabbed panel works once, but not again
I have successfully linked from text in one tabbed panel to open another panel on the same page, using SpryURLUtils.js.
<a href="?tab=2#TabbedPanels1">
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0});
When I return to the panel containing the link, the link no longer functions. So basically, it will work once, but not twice.
Thoughts on what's happening?The example that you gave is great for opening a tab in a new page.To open panels on the same page see here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_sample.htm

My Time Capsule keeps saying "backup failed" due to the network password not being correct. I have not changed my password and every day I have to type the same one in and then it works. But then the same thing happens the next day. Can anyone help? This only started doing this about 2 weeks ago.
Hello,
Mac OS X 10.4 Help, I forgot a password in my Keychain
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1960.html
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1544
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. -
Since upgrading to Firefox 3.6.6 my bookmarks will not stay open, when I click on the bookmarks icon on the toolbar my list opens up but then disapears again with in about 10 seconds.... i.e, not enough time for me to chose which site I want to open. I've tried deleting cookies, temp. files and I even tried a complete re-install of Firefox but I'm still getting the same problem.... Any ideas please?
Thanks.... Jon T.I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist -
The screen on my macbook has malfunction. When I change the brightness to zero and return to the first level of brightness it works briefly but then the screen starts to flicker brightness and quickly extinguished. It seems to be a bad contact, it would not be normal for a quality product that should have, he has less than two years of use. Not because of the bad use or crash. Someone with the same problem or can help me? It's really a contact problem? I've done all the procedures recommended by the online support. Thanks.
Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

So this morning, the sound on my MacBookPro was working perfectly, but then all of the sudden, the sound didn't work. When i turned the volume up, it showed it turning up, but there was no noise. I also tried plugging in my earphones, and it still didn't work. I don't know what to do!!
Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
Audio Devices window
Side Bar
Click the Built-in Output.
Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it. -
I use photoshop cs6 extended and when I create a new shortcut, it will work once and then disappear..any help on why this would happen
Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too? -
Yesterday I used my iphone in the rain. I think some water must have got inside. Now the phone seems to be working OK but is not backlit so is incredibly hard to read. Is there anything I can do to reset or have I ruined the phone?
What you should have done is immediately turn the phone off, then put it in a ziploc bag of dried rice after you wiped all visible moisture off the phone. Leave it in the ziploc bag for 3 ~ 4 days, then turn it on & hope things work OK. It may be too late to try the dry rice trick now, but you can give it a shot if you like.
Apple does have an out of warranty replacement program, cost in the US is $199 for the 4S & $149 for other models. -
How do I find a previously passcode to link a wireless keyboard (Model A101urs6) to a Mac Power Book G4 running 10.5.8. The keyboard was linked at one point in the past, but then not used. When I am trying to hook it up now, it requires the passcode. Where can I find this, or is there a general number I can use?
