Wake on lan - I can't get it to work
Sorry for the nubie here.
I am unable to wake my new iMac from my Macbook using WakeOnLand. The MB is using wifi and the others are using ethernet.
Also, I am unable to see a G4 running 10.4.11.
The MB and iMac are running 10.6.2. No firewalls.
I have a Dlink router and know how to get into its admin page but really am afraid to change its configurations due to lack of knowledge.
Any help appreciated.

no. wake on lan works over ethernet only. it does not matter what router you use. but SNow leopard has a new feature "wake on demand" that does work over wireless. but for that you need a very recent apple router (TC or AEBS) and and a very recent computer.

I was listening to music on my ipod shuffle when it went off.It hasn't turned on since then.When i connect it to the computer,the connection and disconection sounds play continuously without the ipod showing.What could be wrong or how can i get it to work?
Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.
I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage.
I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

got my password wrong twice and my mini is disable. I connected to iTunes, but can't get it to work. Can some one guide my through?
If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Is there a way to reset my messages account, I can't get iMessage to work on IPad nor Mac osx. Help please this is really frustrating.
Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.
Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck -

I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad
Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad. -

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?
The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues. -
Iphone 5 went black. Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time. Worked yesterday and then did it again today. Can't get it to work.
You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I bought a DATAPILOT to transfer pictures to my macbook and can't get it to work. Any suggestions please?
Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

Hi Mike,
I've checked your account. I see that you just purchased the subscription this morning. The order is still pending processing, which is why you haven't yet been able to log in an use your subscription. It can take 24-48 hours for a subscription to process fully. Once it does, you'll be able to log in and convert files.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
