Wake my iMac over the Internet

I am sure has been asked before and I have searched but can't find anything that has helped me so far.
I have an iMac with logmein client installed and running.
My mac goes to sleep after 15 mins
I want to wake my mac from work at lunch time and remote in to it via logmein
I have a time capsule an use airport for my wireless network and Internet configuration
I have tried port forwarding udp 9 to the internal address and using a WOL client on my iPhone but the iMac doesn't wake
If I try this when ago home on the same network it works fine
I have read somewhere that the mac will wake when you attempt to connect to a service that it is running for example, http.
I don't have http running so this won't work for me
I don't have any others computers on the network that I can use to wake the mac
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

have you looked in the energy saver pane of the system preferences? click the options tab there is an option for wake for ethernet network adminstrator access
this checked will wake your computer from sleep or even if you computer is off, i think

How to Enable Wake On Lan over the Internet??

Hi, I am using RV220W with the latest firmware, I want to make "Wake on LAN" work for my NAS, I found the following description on Internet:
"If you wish to use Wake On Lan over the internet you will need to set up your destination firewall/router to allow "Subnet Directed Broadcasts". Most routers and firewalls disable this option by default.
You will then need to allow traffic through on your firewall/router on a specific port. The choice of ports is up to you."
So how can I enable "Subnet Directed Broadcasts" on RV220W??
Thanks.
Raymond

Hi Jasbryan,
If RV220W doesn't forward UDP to a broadcast address, could you ( i.e. Cisco) provide a tools for sending WOL Magic Packet to the LAN on Router Device Manager page?
I see many routers also provide this tools from their manager page.
Thanks.

How can I set up my macbook air to use programs on my iMac over the internet?

I have a program (MacPractice) on my iMac. It's running the server program while my MacBook Air is running the client software which has to be connected via the wireless (last Gen Time machine) in my office to function. What do I need to do to be able to access my iMac over the internet when I'm out of the office? I was told that I would need to set up a DNS (?) address to log in. I use a Comcast internet modem which goes through my Time Machine wireless router to my iMac. Is this even possible to do with the current setup?

Ok, in this case your iMac will be performing as an application server. As such, it will need to be "reachable" from the Internet. This is typically done in one of two ways: 1) It is assigned a static Public IP address, or 2) It is assigned a static Private IP address.
In the first method, your iMac will be like any other publically available server (Web, E-Mail, etc.) To accomplish this, you would need for your ISP to provide you with a static Public IP. You can then configure the AirPort Extreme to allow remote clients to access this server by creating a DMZ for the server. This would fully expose your iMac to the Internet.
In the second method, you would assign the iMac a static Private IP address that is just outside of the default range of the AirPort's DHCP service. You would then configure the AirPort for port mapping. Which ports that will be needed to be mapped will depend on what your application's support tells you.

Easy cheap way to administer a standalone iMac over the internet

I have an iMac G5 running Tiger and wish to administer and manage my father's iMac G5 also running Tiger, over the internet, rather than having to physically travel to his place everytime he has a difficuly with his system.
I will only be using this to manage 1 computer (not a network) so I simply need to be able to log into his machine as administrator and check logs, manage software versions etc.
What cost effective software solution do recommend to perform this task (I understand that Apple Remote Desktop will do this easily, but is more feature rich and expensive than what I probably need).
Cheers
Steve

Easily done. One way is with OSXvnc/Chicken of the Sea. OSXvnc is a small vnc server application (open source) that you'll put on your parent's machine. Chicken of the Sea is the vnc viewer app that you will put on your machine and will open every time your parents call for help. Setup is fairly straight-forward, even for someone new to the concept. These can be downloaded from versiontracker.com and macupdate.com.
Another way to do this is with the slightly more capable Vine viewer/server package from Redstone Software. Apparently just released and available for downloading and trying. The server part is simply an upgraded version of the OSXvnc app. It's free (and also available on versiontracker, etc.). The viewer part costs 19.95 through November (I think), but it is much easier to use than Chicken of the Sea and allows you to copy and paste files between machines.

One caveat: I have not tried these remotely myself -- only on the ethernet network here at home, consisting of three macs -- but I've been told they can connect distant machines as well. Try these, and if you can get any of them to work remotely, please let us (me!) know.
One option that costs more than these mostly free offerings (but considerably less than Apple Remote Desktop!) is Netopia's Timbuktu Pro 8. You'll need to buy a copy for each machine (twin-pack download for 180 dollars), but they do advertise remote connections via the Internet. They have a two-week demo that you can try before you buy. It also has some kind of Skype integration that makes for easier connections.

This is how to wake your desktop over the internet via WRT54GS!

Assuming you've read how to configure the BIOS and Network adapter, this is what needs completed on the router. If you search this subject you'll discover a gazillion threads about failure. I tried hard for several weeks, only being able to wake it over my LAN, but never over the internet and then abandoned the whole idea months ago, but tried it again today with success. I had my brother in law test the configuration from 500 miles away - Indiana to PA. I Port Forwarded and Port Triggered to port 1649 but you can select a different port. I enabled Wireless Access and Remote Management in Administration. Months ago I believe I'd tried Port Triggering without the Administration settings and, with Administration settings enabled, without triggering. Now the most interesting thing is after the initial test I re-enabled the routers Firewall and I was still able to wake the PC. I also set up a rule in my software firewall to open port 1649. I'm not sure that is necessary, since in theory the pc and the firewall are off. Now my external IP is not static, however, it never, never, ever changes so all other settings were just default. One thread I read one time was a person could only wake the PC in the first 30 seconds after shutdown. I haven't tested that problem. I'm also going to retest Port Triggering without Wireless Access and/or Remote Management enabled. Give it a try and good luck!
I edit! So I just woke it up without Wireless Access and Remote Management enabled or the port open in the software firewall. I went through a VPN tunnel, however, not 100% sure that is a valid test. It would seem that triggering and not just forwarding maybe the key!

Can you: Sync Calendar, Contacts, & Tasks over the internet?

Hey!
We have a iMac and love it. I am primarily a PC user at work and am used to a windows mobile device that syncs Contacts, Calendar, & tasks over the internet.
As stated we have the iMac. I also have the .Mac account which currently publishes our calendar to a read only web site.
Here's the Q's I have as a perspective buyer:
Can the iPhone sync up with the calendar on my Mac?
Can the iPhone sync up contacts with my Mac?
Can the iPhone sync up tasks with my Mac?
*When I use the term "sync" I mean that if I update something on the mac, it shows up automatically on thie iPhone and when I enter an item into the iPhone it shows up on the Mac.*

No. The iPhone does not support any Over the Air (OTA) syncing at this time. With the 2.0 release in June the iPhone will support OTA syncing with Exchange servers.

Accessing my Time Capsule hard drive over the internet via iCloud doesn't work.

Hi Everyone,
I have an iCloud account and read recently, that it is possible to acces the hard drive of an Time Capsule over the internet, if "Back to my Mac" is activated on my MacBook an the Time Capsule.
I updated the Time Capsule to Firmware Version 7.6.1 and the Airport Utility to version 6. Actually the Time Capsule HDD is displayes in Finder's Sidebar, when I'm using a forreign internet connection. But when I click on it an error message tells me that a connection to the server (I assume server=Time Capsule) cannot be established. Funnily enough I can access the HDD of my iMac at home.
The Time Capsule network setting is "Bridge Mode" Since I can't deactivate the DNS functionality of my router/mode, an easybox 803 A, unfortunately which I cannot replace, because it is also used for hosting the telephone.
Does anybody have an idea, where the problem could be? Wrong settings in the Time Capsule config or maybe the blocking by the router?
Thank you all in advance,
Markus
Please consider, that I have absolutely no idea of networking.

I don't know exactly how, but I got it working. I will try to explain, what I did.
1. I used the easybox as DHCP-Server an set the TC to Bridge Mode.
2. Then I gave the TC a fixed IP in the easbybox menu by using it's MAC-address (It seems that the address range has to be either 192.168.X.Y or 10.0.X.Y to make the TC accessable later).
3. I made the TC a DHCP-Server (DHCP only, not also NAT). The IP addess range of the TC starts after it's own IP adress (10.0.0.111) and ends at (10.0.0.250). The IP range of the easybox starts with 10.0.0.1 (it's own) and end with the TC's (10.0.0.111).
4. Then the Airport Utility told me that if I want to share an DHCP range the TC has to be set to a fixed IP setting, which I set up, leaving the IP-address 10.0.0.111 and the Router IP 10.0.0.1 (the easyboxs').
5. Then it worked in my case. Since I don't even know what I did, I'm not shure if it workes under other circumstances.
There are of course many variables. Such as the type of the router and the TC or the kind of the internet connection.

How do I backup my time capsule to another time capsule over the internet

I have a Time Capsule that I use for backups locally within my own home. My parents have one as well that they use for their backups. Ideally it would be great to have my backups offsite -- if your house burns down it doesn't help that your backups were in the house...
So is there a way to copy (automatically) the image from one TC to another and vice versa over the internet?

No, there isn't, and even if there was, it would take forever, or possibly longer.
Any backup done over the internet will be quite slow; upload speeds are generally much, much slower than download speeds. Some of the companies that do internet backups, such as Mozy, Carbonite, etc., actually ship you an external HD for the first backup. You ship that back, they load it onto their servers, then do "incremental" backups of what's changed over the net.
In addition, it's not a good idea to back up a backup; any problem with the original will be copied to, and perhaps magnified, on the copy.
A much better approach is to get a portable external HD; do backups to it, then take it to a secure off-site location. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some suggestions, especially the pink box there.
It still might be a good idea to have some limited data backed-up over the internet, such as relatively-small things and/or things that rarely change.

How do I access my time capsule over the internet

How do I access my time capsule over the internet. I've already set it up to share over WAN, but I have ATT so my TC is connected to the router provided by ATT can I still access my TC via the internet even though its not directly connected to the Ethernet?

The TC should be in bridge mode.. not setup to share over wan.. that will never work. That is assuming you haven't bridged the ATT router.
Once you bridge the TC see if you can setup BTMM using icloud settings in the TC. As per the Apple docos.. here.
You should also be able to directly access the TC since you have a router with dyndns client at a guess.. the setup is simply forward port 548 to the TC.
Google search this.. there is huge number of resources available. eg

Can not view video over the Internet on WVC80N

I set up the web cam, set up the port forward etc so now I am able to:
   1. view/change web cam settings inside my home network.
   2. view video inside my home network.
   3. view/change web cam settings over the Internet.
But I am not able to view video over Internet. Every time I did so (using IE browser), after clicking the view video button, I got an error : There are too many user connections or the device is busy, please try again latter.
Anyone has a fix on this? I set up port forwarding on port 1024 (that's how I can chage settings over Internet).
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Linksys tech support but they could not find the reason.
Thanks,
Sam

Who is your ISP? How you are trying to access your Camera from the remote location? Along with Port 1024 you need to do port forwarding for port 80 on your router for the Cameras IP address. As WVC80N works on your HTTP Port.
To access your camera from the Remote location, you need to use http://wan ip:80.

How to share videos with family over the internet

I have a ton of home videos that I have edited with Final Cut and I would like to find a way to share those with family and friends across the country. Is there any way to do this in the Apple ecosystem. If not, what do most recommend as the best way to do this? Thanks

Thanks for the reply... I'm actually looking for something that would allow me to have all the content available in a library so friends and family can see all the content and then choose what to watch. Ideally, it would be like iTunes or iPhoto only that it could be accessed by multiple people from all over the internet. I think Apple is missing a huge niche in this area.
