TS2972 Apple TV will not wake iMac, any help?

Just bought a new Apple TV (3rd gen) and a new iMac. On both products I have Home Sharing turned on. I also have my firewall turned off. I have no problem seeing my files through Apple TV when the computer is awake but I want to be able to get on Apple TV at any time and access my files without having to go wake up my computer first. Anyone else experiencing this problem or have ideas on how I can fix it?

What time capsule and firmware have you got? I have 5th generation and 7.7.2 I think there is a firmware bug and the feature is not implemented correctly
If instead you only have an AppleTv 3rd generation and no apple routers, the appletv has a bonjour sleep proxy engine so that should be sufficient to wake up your mac as long as your mac has the option in the energy saving preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3774
In my case I have a time capsule 5th generation that seem to fail the service so the appletv does not wake up the devices however if I connect a non apple router it does
So you don't need an apple router to have the service, the apple tv generation 3 does it as long as the firmware of your mac and the energy saving settings are correct

Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

VGA CRT will not "wake up".. help please. Reset display settings shortcut?

Hello everybody,
I have a mirror drive doors G4 Tower, Dual 1.25 GHz.
I have an ADC and a DVI out from the computer. Just had damage to my old studio display so I am attempting to use just one CRT running from the DVI... w/ a DVI to VGA adapter.
The first time I tried this w/ a CRT it worked fine... I played around w/ monitor settings... still worked fine. Shut down... unhooked CRT and moved that CRT away.
Tried using it with another CRT and the new CRT never started up... remained on stand-by/sleep.
I tried with another moniter... this time a LCD/Flatscreen... again VGA and it did the same thing, EXCEPT... this time when I connected the LCD to the adapter and then plugged the adapter into the DVI on my tower the LCD screen would turn on for about 1 second and display my login page. The picture was not perfect though... it was distorted someway.
Went back to the first CRT... now this one didn't work.
I think that maybe I have to reset my display settings with some sort of shortcut or something... maybe it's on the wrong frequency?
I don't know... any help much appreciated. I hate having to use this PC.
Thanks,
James

Turned out to be a faulty DVI to VGA adapter.

My Apple mail will not send messages any more.

It will receive. I called Comcast and they said it is an Apple problem because I could send from the comcast site. I am using OS X 10.6.8 on a 4 year old 15 inch MacBook Pro. This started last evening when I tried to send a 330 kb message. I deleted that one and tried others. Nothing will send.

HELP! Macbook will not wake! Please help!

+2.0ghz 13.3 Macbook Aluminum from OCT 2008 (MB466LL)+
+OS: Leopard 10.5.8+
Issue: Computer will boot, but will immediately go into some type of soft sleep mode. If I press the power button to wake it from sleep, it will attempt to wake by flickering the screen once but then goes back to dark. For about 5-10 seconds I see the desktop and a few windows open but very dark almost like the screen was completed faded to black.. and then it goes back to sleep. I've tried hitting F2 during the 5-10 seconds but it does not help or work.
Sometimes I'll succeed with getting it 100% back from sleep for about 1-2 minutes which it looks and works normal, but it then goes back to soft sleep.
I'm traveling in Brazil for a whole month, and it started happening 2 days ago. It simply went to sleep by itself after I finished watching a movie on VLC.
*-Same thing happens when booting to safemode.*
*-Same thing happens when booting from CD.. It gets to first page where I choose my language and immediately goes to sleep.*
-only time it does NOT happen is if I boot to single-user mode.
*_+What I've done so far:+_*
= Reset the PRAM/NVRAM
= Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)
= Unplugged battery
= Tried re-seating the RAM
= Repaired permissions
= Used Disk Utility to scan/repair HD. - Found no issues
= Disabled safe sleep in terminal using: "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0" and also by by going to energy saver and setting it to NEVER SLEEP.
I see that a lot of people have had this problem with Macbooks going to sleep and not waking. But not a lot of solutions.. I'm going crazy. There's an apple store near where I am right now (Sao Paulo, Brazil) but even though I somewhat speak the language I'm hesitant to take it there still. Can someone PLEASSSSSSEEEEEEEE give me a hand?

Well to anyone else that comes across this issue. After 3 days of nonstop troubleshooting I've finally figured it out and got my baby working again.
Apparently, the problem is with the Hall sensor, that reports whether your "lid" is closed or not. Unfortunately, It is - seemingly - embedded into the Top case keyboard-touchpad assembly. In fact, the majority of the problems arise from the flex cable attached to the keyboard.
So you have 2 actions to choose from. 1) Replace the "Top Case Keyboard Assembly" which you can find for $50-$100 on ebay. Or 2) Open your bottom case, and reset the keyboard ribbon cable out of its socket (which goes into the Flat cable ZIF socket). This has worked for me almost instantly. Regardless if the cable was somewhat loose before or not, I unplugged it, and reset it and It's been working ever since. If for some reason the issue returns, well I just have to hop on ebay and buy a new Topcase/Keyboard.
Good luck.
Check out step 12 on this link which shows where the Keyboard ribbon cable connects to

HT1414 My phone powered off on it's own this morning, and will not restart. Any help?

I replied to a text message this morning, put the phone in my shirt pocket. I went to use it again 2 mins later and it was completely non-responsive. I have tried all the tricks I know to restart it, but no success. I even went to my vehicle and plugged it in, hoping the charge would bring it to life, but still no.
Is there an answer to turning my phone back on? Have never experienced this issue prior to download of the new OS.

I have just tried to update iTunes to the latest software and now I keep getting error messages. I have uninstalled and downloaded the latest version without any success. Any advice please?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

I purchased a song from iTunes however it will not play. I get a message telling me I need to authorize my PC, when I go through the steps as directed I get a message saying this PC is already authorized however the song still will not play. Any help?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

TS1587 I tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks Maja

My iMac won't start up, or wake from sleep. I've tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on, you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks!

Mac doesn't boot
Can you hear the fans and hard drive and see the white boot screen? Flashing question mark? The circle just runs and nothing happens? Only black screen and nothing else? These can be very helpful to diagnose the source of the problem. [1]
Flashing question mark [2]: This is usually a sign of a failed hard drive. This indicates that boot up volume can not be found.
Black screen: This is usually a sign of a failed logic board. There is no single reason for this and this may be caused by failed GPU, screen, CPU or RAM.
Circle of death/no circle/blue screen: This is usually a sign of a hard drive failure. This may NOT be a dead hard drive, just broken permissions or something
Gray screen/Apple logo/spinning gear or globe/prohibitory sign/folder with flashing question mark [3]: This could be a sign of faulty hardware but more likely a software issue, i.e. broken permissions, failed software update, etc.
[edit]
What to do
First, hold down the option key (also known as the alt key) just after you've pressed the power button. This should show all the available options to boot from, so if you have Windows installed through Bootcamp or a disk in your SuperDrive, you should be able to see them along with your OS X drive/partition. Select the OS X partition with arrow keys and press enter. Startup key combinations
If that doesn't help continue doing the steps from below:
1. SMC reset [4]. Shut down and unplug all cables including power cord for at least 30 seconds and then plug in power cord and keyboard/mouse.
2. PRAM reset [5]. Hold down option, command, P and R while booting. Start it when you hear the sound and don't let go before it reboots.
3. Safe boot [6]. Hold down shift while booting to boot into safe mode. If this works, open Disk Utility from Utilities and repair your permissions and verify the disk
4. Hardware test [7]. Insert the install disk (disk 1 in Mac which shipped with OS X 10.5.4 or earlier, disk 2 if shipped with OS X 10.5.5 or newer) and hold down "D" before the grey boot screen opens. Follow on screen instructions
5. Boot from install disk. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac. Hold C while booting. Select Disk Utility from top bar and repair permissions and verify the disk. Reboot normally and see if it works now.
6. Boot from another Mac (Firewire target disk mode). Connect the machines with a Firewire cable. Power on your Mac and press T. Select the other Mac's hard drive. Download the current OS X combo update. Run the combo update installer and select the drive that won't boot as the destination.
7. "Repair" OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and reinstall OS X. This should NOT erase any data, just replaces the system files which may have caused your booting problem. Now install the latest combo update for OS X and repair permissions on your drive with Disk Utility.
7.1. Install OS X into an external hard drive and then boot from it [8] and try to copy your data from the hard drive before proceeding. If you have done a backup recently, you don't have to do this.
8. Restore OS X from Time Machine backup. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac and choose the Time Machine restore option. This step will lose any changes made since your last backup but the system and your data will be put back to exactly as it was on that date.
8.1 Reinstall OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and select Disk Utility again. Now erase the whole hard drive and install OS X again. If you had a Time Machine backup and step 7 worked you don't have to do this.
