Magic Packet and E2000?

Can anyone help me getting Magic Packet to work with my E2000?
I've got port 9 forwarding to my desktop's IP address, 192.168.1.117
The desktop hardware is configured properly, that is, the network adapter has"Wake on Directed Packet" and "Wake on Magic Packet" checked.
The desktop is waking from Standby, not Power Off.
I've done countless web searches and can't find a hint of what may be wrong.
I've got my MAC address, IP address.
I'm using submask 255.255.255.255 (and also tried 255.255.255.0, but that has the WOL program sending the packet to an IP address xx.xx.xxx.255 where xx.xx.xxx is the first part of my IP address)
Can anyone put me out of my misery?
Thanks!.

I'M SO SORRY! My choice of words was poor.
I was trying to say that I am attempting to wake the computer from standby mode. I am not trying to wake it from Power Off mode. Or, to put it another way, I can't even wake it from Standby mode.
Sorry again for the confusion.

Magic Packets with AirPort Extreme base station

Ok, so I would like to be able to wake my iMac with magic packets over the internet. It is connected to the internet via an AirPort Extreme base station, and I know that it won't work over wireless networks, but the iMac is connected and gets internet via ethernet from the AirPort. Is there any way I can set up port forwarding or something like that to wake my iMac remotely?

...should I have AirPort on my iMac turned off or on...
Since you are connected via Ethernet you would turn AirPort off.
Does the connection automatically default to Ethernet, even if AirPort is set "on," because presumably Ethernet is faster.
No. It gives priority based on how they are ordered in the list of network connections.

WOL/Magic Packet Not working with new EA9200

I just replaced an Cisco E4200 with a LinkSys EA9200. I transfered all the port forwarding and other settings and everything appears to be working except that a desktop that is hard wire connected to the router no longer appears to be getting Magic Packets sent to it over the internet. The packet ispassed fine interenally. The computer is static mapped and I have double checked the port and addressing informatuion on the new EA9200 and it is all correct -- it is just not working. The EA9200 has the latest firmware.
Ideas?

I have experienced the same problem since updating to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard on my mid 2011 iMac. Tried taking out batteries, putting fresh fully charged ones back in and turning switch on underside of mouse on and off - does get connected eventually but because the pointer is inactive it is difficult to get it working.
Have found as a back up that a Microsoft wireless USB mouse works perfect - so this is my back up plan....sorry Apple!
Any bright ideas to rectify this annoying problem would be helpful. Always have the other contingency plan of using a wired mouse, but I find that the tracker ball gets clogged up.

Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet broadcast

I would like to use Wake-On-Lan to send a Magic Packet to my PC to power it up - from a distant location over QuickVPN. WOL is working locally, and I can see running devices from a remote location with the QuickVPN client. But I can not broadcast my magic packet from the remote location. Is this because the known NetBIOS problem? How could I make the broadcast work?

This is not going to work with Quick VPN Client and a Linksys branded device. The reason is the software creates what is called a split tunnel instead of a full tunnel.
In a full tunnel setup, there is a pool of addresses to have assigned to vpn clients. When you are assigned an ip address from this pool you essentially become part of the local network (meaning all broadcasts and unicasts go thru the tunnel), where as with a split tunnel setup you only send traffic to the tunnel that is destined for the remote subnet VIA UNICAST.
If you try this with a Small Business Pro device it may work, because you have the ability to do a full tunnel. The broadcast of the WOL will go out of your internet connection, not your virtual tunnel connection.
Hope this helps.

Magic Mouse and Employing Pinch to Open and Close Feature

I have purchased a magic mouse and would like to employ the "pinch to open & close" features (option on multi-touch trackpad) with the magic mouse. This is not the same as zoom (e.g. hold control key with mouse wheel).
I have tried using bettertouchtool and magicprefs, but it appears that neither accommodates this feature easily. If there were a keyboard shortcut to employ this feature then I think I can assign it to a magic mouse gesture via BTT or Magic Prefs, but I cannot find such a keyboard shortcut.
Does anyone have any ideas?

It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost. Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.

Magic mouse and trackpad not working

All of a sudden my magic mouse and trackpad stopped working.
I tried everything, preferences, bluetooth config, but nothing works.
Sometimes in the mouse prefpane, I get the message that the mouse is connected, then after a few seconds it shows disconnected.
In Bluetooth config I get the message that the mouse is connected but the wheel keeps spinning and then it says "connection failed. software configuration and bluetooth may be invalid or are not supported".
Same for the trackpad.
My second mac is also seen, and "connected ?" , but when I try to open the connection it fails also.
System is lion 10.7.5. imac 3,6 Ghz corei5 from 2011.

Found out myself how to solve the problem.
Simply resetting the PRAM and everything was ok.
Thanks anyway

How I got the Bluetooth Magic mouse and Aluminum keyboard to work in XP

NOTE: The following steps fixed my issue. I thought I would share what worked for me but I really don't ever visit these discussion groups. I used a combination of Sysinternal tools to isolate what was causing my issue and rectified it.
I couldn't for the life of me get the bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard working in a bootcamp'd windows xp. Here are the steps that I performed to finally get it to work. The assumptions are that you are running a clean XP build with SP3 and all windows updates installed.
1. Using a USB mouse and keyboard. Insert the OS X install disc into the drive and run through the bootcamp drivers install. (These steps are outlined at Page 12 in the Apple Boot Camp Installation Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/bootcampinstall-setup.pdf). Let the installers run per apple instructions in the bootcamp installation guide. At the end it will want to reboot. Reboot the system.
2. After the system reboots login and run the Apple Software Update utility to update from bootcamp 3.1 to 3.2. It will run through a bunch of installers and ask to reboot at the end. Reboot.
3. After the system reboots login and go to start=>run and type "services.msc" to bring up the services control panel.
4. Double-click the "Bluetooth Support Service" to open the properties.
5. Go to the "log on" tab and look to see what is set. If it is set to "NT Authority\LocalService" then click above it to change to "Local System account." Then click "OK." It will tell you the changes won't take effect until the service is restarted. No worries.
6. You will be back in the main services control panel. Make sure the "Bluetooth Support Service" is highlighted and look up to the left and select "restart the service."
7. Close all the open windows and then go to start=>run and type "control panel" and hit enter.
8. Double-click the "Bluetooth devices" control panel applet and follow the Apple instructions provided on Page 18 of the guide referred to earlier. Start with the mouse first. Stop when done with the mouse and don't continue on to the keyboard yet.
9. At this point my mouse was "installed" but did not show "connected" in the bluetooth devices applet. I then highlighted the mouse and clicked the "properties" button down to the right.
10. Once in the properties of the mouse I selected the "services" tab. My issue before making the switch to "Local System" account for the Bluetooth services was then when I tried to click the check box to enable "Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)" I would get an "access denied" error. Now that the switch has been made you should be able to click that check box without error. Click OK after enabling.
11. You will suddenly see systray (lower right of the screen where the clock is) saying that new hardware has been detected and enabled. Once this is all done you will see "connected" below the device in the Bluetooth applet. Give your mouse a go. It should be working now. Sweet!
12. Follow the steps in the Apple guide for your keyboard. This should work too now. Sweet!
Best of luck.

It depends on how far it is and how thick your walls are. If there plasterboard partitions and only 10 feet apart then probably.
If you have a mobile phone with bluetooth, then try sending the computer a picture of file from similar distances to that you intend using the keyboard, if it works then a bluetooth keyboard and mouse should.

Been losing connection for magic mouse and wireless keyboard

When I have my MBP running Mavericks in clamshell mode, I lose connections to both magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard in clamshell mode. I've tried all the PRAM SCM, aluminum foil and paper tricks. What I then did was test what happens when I leave the MBP open rather than in clamshell mode and it appears to avoid losing connection, at least that is what I've concluded with Mavericks for now..... anyone else able to replicate this? Having to leave the MBP open is not ideal.

Barry, thanks, still not working. I've tried every thing I can think of or have read, what I'm concluding is that there is either a problem with Mavericks or something has changed on how bluetooth works in Mavericks. Did not have this problem for the last 4 years. I can reproduce the problem when I close the laptop. I had the Bluetooth and wireless card checked out and replaced about 3 weeks ago. Problem has continued.

WiFi, Magic Mouse and a MacBook...

Hi All,
I have a weird issue. I'm using my Magic Mouse and Aluminum MacBook 13" for months now. I'm also using TIme Capsule as my Wifi-N router.
I got myself external display couple of weeks ago, and am using my MacBook in close clamshell mode since. Also from that time I noticed, that as soon as my laptop performs some sort of heavy network operation (Time Capsule backup, copying files over local network) my mouse starts being unresponsive and rather unpleasant to work with. As soon as the heavy wi-fi job is done - mouse comes back to regular performance.
I read a bit about issue (altough no one mentioned working in close clamshell mode) and tried to reset all the settings (SBM or whatever it's called in macbook), change wi-fi channels etc... with no luck
Thanks in advance.

Well, what do you know, just five days ago Apple released 7.5.1 firmware update for Time Capsule which solved my issue

Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
Thanks for your help
Chris

Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.
I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
Thank you!

If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

Right-click on Magic Mouse and Volume Controls on Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working

I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on an Late 2012 iMac.
One morning the right click on my Magic Mouse and the volume controls on the wireless keyboard stopped working.
These mouse and keyboard themselves seem fine; they work okay ehn used on a MacBook.
Everything else about the mouse and keyboard is fine.
This seems to be a problem what has been around for a whole, with a wide variety of solutions.
I have read
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16799039#16799039
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23474052#23474052
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19660884#19660884
and have tried
Clicking on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences - No effect
Deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - No effect
Restarting in Safe Mode - When starting in safe mode, the computer crashes out and restarted
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM - Is it CTRL+CMD+P+R or CMD+OPT+P+R ? Neither work for me (I do try it using a wired keyboard, but never get the double chime)
Upgraded to 10.9.2 - no effect
Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext and and back in (and re-authenticate) - No joy
Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext from a working MacBook on same OS - Made the keyboard misbehave even more
Has anyone got any other cures for this?
Thanks in advance.

Here is what worked for me. My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly. I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below. Hope it helps you too!

Just installed Lion and the Magic TrackPad and I am having a problem with one click commands. I have to hit the pad fairly hard with one finger to get it to accept the command. Is this normal, is there another way that I am suppose to execute commands?

No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

Magic Trackpad and Inkwell

I'm wondering why Mac OS X's built-in Inkwell (handwriting recognition) doesn't activate when Magic Trackpad is connected. Yes, I realise that originally Inkwell activates when a graphics tablet is connected, but I think the Magic Trackpad is sensitive enough to be able to do handwriting recognition. After all, it already uses OS X's Chinese handwriting recognition.
Anyone as puzzled as I am?
(see Inkwell, http://www.apple.com/accessibility/macosx/physical.html )

Anyone as puzzled as I am?
As far as I can see there is no connection between the multitouch trackpad, either on a laptop or the new Magic one, and Inkwell. Handwriting recognition is only for Chinese (not even Japanese, much less English or any other language) and is handled by a special app. It's just not a graphics tablet as required by Inkwell.

Magic Trackpad and Logic

Just wondering if anyone is using the magic trackpad with Logic. I was thinking of getting it; I love the multitouch gestures on my laptop. But I'm wondering what people's experience has been with the magic trackpad and Logic specifically. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have it... but have not updated to 10.6.4.
It does move the pointer around really well... as soon as Avid confirm use of 10.6.4 with Pro Tools (my main DAW) then I'll be able to use it for surround panning, etc...
