Wake on Lan (works, but not always)

Iam trying to get Wak on Lan working on my iMac. It works, but not always. When I put my mac to sleep en send the magic package, my mac turns back on. But when my mac turns to sleep and I wait a few hours (the next morning), my Mac doesn't respond to the same magic packag. When I wake up the Mac by hand, and put it back to sleep again, the magic package works again en turns the mac on.
It almost looks like the mac goes into a deeper sleep mode after a few hours. Does anyone knows what could ben the reazon.

mmm, It seems like my mac doesn't always turns to sleep mode. Most of the time it only turns off the screen (solid light). My energy settings are 10 minutes for the screen and 15 minutes for the mac. But after turning of the screen it never turns to sleepmode. Ecxept when I put it to sleep manualy.
Strange thing is: when the screen is turned of, shouldn't I be able to get tot my files... (I can't actualy).

HT4245 sometimes but not always the send button is not activated when sending an imessage through face time on my ipad

Sometimes when sending or replying to a message through face time my send button does not work. If I close the app and reopen it the send button has worked but not always. This is very speratic.

Hello cjtulowiecki,
You’re having problems with the computer not booting sometimes.
Do a hard reset.
Power off the computer.
Remove the power cable and the battery.
Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
This should reset the hardware in the computer.
Next test all the hardware in the system.
As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
Run the startup test.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Why is my iphone 4 deleting contacts automatically? They sometimes re-appear later but not always. My phone lost 1000 or so contacts today alone!

Why is my iphone 4 deleting contacts automatically? They sometimes re-appear but not always. The phone deleted 1000 or so contacts today alone!
Any suggestions?

Robert, to clarify, I have the contacts section of icloud switched off. This was done some weeks ago in an attempt to stop this phenomenon. Didn't work. At one stage yesterday I had 1400 contacts but now it has swelled to 4500. Strange!

Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen! Any one else experience this? Horrid design Apple! It's your freaking web browser! Google Chrome works but not Safari! I may simply return this "upgrade" unless someone can help

Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen... What gives? Safari is Apple's browser for gods sakes! Google Chrom works but not Safari? This is nuts. This is an "upgrade"?? Anyone else experiencing this? Or should I just give up and return this

Are you always like this?
First try a Reset: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

My powerbook g4 (about 6 years old) has just started freezing up--mostly when in Apple Mail, but not always. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom wants you to run Disk Utility from the install disc and then select your boot volume and then click "Repair Disk" to check and correct any directory problems. That will not erase any data files on the disc. If Disk Utility actually makes repairs, do another "Repair Disk" operation, as sometimes one repair will uncover another error. Stop when it gives the volume a clean bill of health without making any repairs. Then restart the machine and see how things work.

It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

iphone 4
SOLVED plugin to charger solved it - so problem was with contacts -- no idea why - phone is new - no water - no havy dust - usual using
hope will never return. Thanks

We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

Call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and explain them your issue, it could range from having your router configured incorrectly to having a wiring issue. Personally, I have Comcast and they are great, no issues, and awesome customer service.
Hope you get up and running ASAP

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

HT4993 My volume down button is not working. The UP button works, but not the down button. I have tried to restart it and that didn't solve the problem.

My volume down button doesn't work on my iPhone. The UP buttown works, but not the down button. I have tried a hard reset and that didn't fix it.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
