HT201960 Followed instruction - no dice on Wake on wireless LAN, no Back to my Mac

iMac 3.4GHz Intel Core i7
Yosemite upgrade over OS X Mountain Lion.
Ethernet Card: AirportExtreme, Broadcom BCM43xx
Wake On Wireless: supported
However, simply doesn't work. Spent hours trying to solve the problem.
My home router is an Airport Extreme - network is 5GHz 802.11n on channel 149, security is WPA2 personal.
Airport firmware 7.6.4.
tried sudo pmset network oversleep 1 - no success after prolonged sleep.
Can somebody make this work?!
Need help - thanks in advance.

Satellite A300: "Wake on Wireless LAN" option disabled in BIOS

Hello,
I have a Satellite A300-230 notebook, and in the BIOS, the option (under Advanced) to enable/disable the *Wake on Wireless LAN* is disabled and greyed out without any way to change it.
Why is that so? How can I enable it?
BIOS version is 2.20 (latest).
Thanks to all.

Hi, i've just installed the Toshiba Hardware Utility and there is no option there for wireless lan wakeup. It has Wake-on-Lan for my wired card (which is enabled), but no wireless Wake-on-Lan.
btw, my BIOS is InsydeH2O. I understand that there are several manufacturers of BIOS's for this notebook, no? what is yours?
also: my wireless card is Atheros

Wake on Wireless Lan

I can successfully wake my Mac Mini over the wireless lan some of the time, but not consistently.
I am using a Linksys router flashed with DD-WRT as a repeater bridge talking to a Thomson wireless ADSL modem (provided by my ISP). I am not therefore using the Airport Extreme set up recommended by Apple for WoWLAN.
The issue seems to be that if the Mac has been sleeping for only a short time (seems like an hour or two is the cutoff), then WoWLAN works fine. I use a Squeezebox Wireless Music Player to wake the Mac wirelessly by sending a wake packet to its MAC addresss, and I also use a iphone app that does the same.
Neither approach wakes the Mac after it has been asleep for longer than an hour or so. Looking at the console messages, the key one seems to be
+ airportd[301] _fastFinderContextInit: Starting auto-join with ssid 'My wireless SSID'+
appears when the Mac wakes from a state which would not allow WoWLAN
My suspicion is that after a set idle period, the Mac is somehow dis-associated from the router. Does anyone have any thoughts how I could fix this. My instinct is that there might be a setting within the Router (actually the repeater bridge) that I can change that stops it forgetting the Mac after a timeout period of no activity or extends the period from one hour to say 8, which should be more than enough.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,
Click Start, then search for and open the Device Manager. Find your networking device in the list.
Right click on it and go to Properties, then click on the Advanced tab.
Scroll down in the list to find “Wake on Magic Packet” and change the Value to “Enabled.” You can leave the other “Wake on” settings alone. Click OK
Restart your system and check
Do give this a try and let us know
Hope This Helps

I want to use Back to my Mac, but my iMac using wireless LAN will not wake from sleep

I've read a ton of posts, and it seems that others have similar problems.
Here are some details: I have a 2 year old iMac now running updated install of Yosemite. I have a brand new MBP running clean install of Yosemite.
I have a 2 year old AirPort Extreme connecting my home wireless LAN. How can I get my MBP to connect to my iMac using Back to my Mac once the iMac has gone to sleep. Back to my Mac works if all computers are active.
The appropriate energy saver selections have been made. Leaving the iMac awake is not an option.
it just doesn't seem to work. No wake on wireless LAN?
Help please

Someone else may come along and have an idea, but as far as I know the iMac shuts off wifi when asleep so it can't be used to wake up the Mac. It has to be a wired connection.
Leaving the iMac awake with the display off really doesn't use much energy so it might be worth considering.

Did you try to go to Settings > Store, tap on Apple ID, Log out and Login again.
What message do you get when you open the App Store?

TS2570 Still cant access my computer, followed instructions to perform a safe boot and last line of script it shows: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 No such file or directory. Any idea?

Brand new Mac Book Pro
Purchased in Mexico's Department store Liverpool on June 20th 2012
Purchased Memory upgade to 8Gb, on june 27th, at Apple Store Memorial City, Houston
Upgraded memory from 4Gb to 8Gb on June 28th.
Tried to write on my external HD (previously written on a windows based PC) with no success.
Upon reccomendation from a Mac assistant, copied all my external HD contents into my Mac Hard drive.
Then formatted my external HD and copied back all my information to it.
deleted all the information from my MacBook Pro HD.
Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.
Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..
Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,
Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.
All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.
Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:
"Perform a Safe Boot
Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to
see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
The following is the script that appears on the screen upon safe boot. and halt after the last line.

TS3704 Trying to delete I Tunes because of missing MSVCR80.dll followed instructions from Apple to delete - Apple Mobile Device support keeps coming up its being used I have gone to program files deleted what I can from folder but left with 3 files

I have been getting the MSVCR80.dll missing message.
Been on the Apple site and following instruction.
Going down the list has instructed I have Deleted I Tunes.
Deleted Apple Software Update
But when I try to delete Apple Mobile device it wouldn't delete so went into program files has the instructions say by going to Program Files\common Files\Apple\Apple Mobile Device Support Folder.
It still wouldn't delete saying it was being used.
I opened the file and highlighted all the folders and pressed delete, most of them have disapeared into my recycle bin but the folder still holds AppleMobileService, AppleMobileDeviceService_main.dll and MobileDevice.dll.
Message when I right click the first file is AppleMobileService I am told this action can't be completed because file is open in Apple Mobile Device. Close and Try again.
When I click the next file AppleMobileDeviceService_main dll it says It comes up with This action cannot be completed and File description Apple Mobile Device Service. Company Apple Inc. File Version 17.323.0.9 Date Created 7/9/2013. Try again...... and finally MobileDevice.dll come up with same message but file version 710.0.0.4 Date Created 7/9/2013 Size 902KB Both say Try Again but the same thing just recurred.
I have left my lap top on hoping that I a swift reply.
I am certainly no computer wizard and simply trying to follow the instructions to get rid of the box which keep coming up everytime I switch the lap top on saying APS Daemon.exe-System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I had looked at the internet and there appears to be warnings not to click on the button.
I have had an apdate from Apple for the I Tunes but it wouldn't update. I thought that may have sorted it so whilst I had a few hours I thought I would go through the process that is advised on Apple's website.
I hope I have not ruined my computer. I haven't even tried deleting Bonjour or Apple Application Support (I Tunes 9 or later) has these are supposed to come after the step I am on.
Please HELP!!!!!

Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

In photoshop elements 10, I followed instructions to update the Inspiration Browser. Nothing happens

I started Photoshop Elements 10 and followed instructions to update the Inspiration Browser. After clicking download and install nothing happens.

I installed Photoshop Elements today and ran into the same problem following the instructions to update the Inspiration Browser---nothing happened after clicking "Install Now" on the installation link. Updating Adobe Air to the latest version got around the problem for me. I was offered to update after running Adobe Commmunity Help for the first time. The update took my already installed version two to version three, and after that clicking on "Install Now" began an installation process that insalled the Inspiration Browser. Hope this helps.

Did a full recovery on hp with Vista. Using external HD, I reinstalled my music library, and installed iTunes from net. Following instructions given in iTunes, I was unable to import my music library into iTunes. Any advice, comments, etc,?

After recovery I am not able to load my existing music library into iTunes. I followed instructions given in iTunes. Any comments/suggestions?

Do you see the library and media files on your external drive?
If you recovered the iTunes folder from <User's Music> in the backup to your current <User's Music> folder then the library should all be there with no need to import anything.
Depending on how you backed up the data it is possible that the recovered files are missing the security permissions that iTunes needs to access them. See epair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on how to check and reset if necessary.

HT4976 I have followed instructions to include a second keyboard for emoticons while texting on my Ipad. It does not bring out the second keyboard nor the "globe" to be typed????

Caan someon help me find the way to be able to see the second keyboard on my texting while using Ipad?
I have followed instructions and so I have open a second keyboard for emoticons but the "globe" would not show and therefore the emoticons would not appear.

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Hi, Nancy, and welcome to Apple Discussions. You've posted your question about using an iPod in a forum devoted to iPhoto, an application that has nothing to do with iPods. You would probably find a better-informed audience over in the iPod discussion area, under the particular Pod model that you own. Good luck!

TS5376 version 11.1.4 R6034 error - followed instructions, still broke

Version 11.1.4 R6034 error - followed instructions, still broke
What do I do after un-installing, rebooting, deleting DLLs, and re-installing 3 times and I still get the same error?
Instructions say to uninstall all related iTunes/apple products. Why do the instructions not provide a list of related products?
Does related products mean Bonjour too? QTMovies.dll looks like "Quick time" should I un-install that too?
Maybe apple could test their code before asking everyone to upgrade to the latest version.
Maybe the code that does the install could check for prerequsits before trashing a working version of itunes.

Follow the instructions in this user tip. You may need to run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
