If your Mac goes to sleep unexpectedly

Jan 11, 2017 Re: Wake On LAN wake up button missing Wake on LAN is allowed in my network adapter. I have testet it with another program and it works. I have made no changes in the bios because this pc was set correctly for wake on lan. I got the same problem on my office pc (which was reinstalled too) and the solution there was to set the teamviewer id to. Mar 19, 2020 There are a few different settings to enable here: Open Device Manager. Find and open the Network adapters section. Right-click or tap-and-hold the adapter that belongs to the active internet connection. Choose Properties. Open the Advanced tab. Under the Property section, click or tap Wake on Magic Packet.

Make sure that Energy Saver is set up the way you want: choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Energy Saver. Adjust one or more of the following controls to affect when your Mac goes to sleep. Some of these controls might not be available on your Mac.

• 'Turn display off after' slider
• 'Display sleep' slider
• 'Computer sleep' slider
  If a slider is set to 'Never,' sleep is disabled for that feature.
• Schedule button

TeamViewer Host is used for 24/7 access to remote computers, which makes it an ideal solution for uses such as remote monitoring, server maintenance, or connecting to a PC or Mac in the office or at home. Install TeamViewer Host on an unlimited number of computers and devices. As a licensed user, you have access to them all! Wake on LAN is a protocol made possible by the sending of so-called magic packets from a client to a remote device. These packets are able to locate the specific computer you intend to wake using its network card’s MAC address (a media access control address).

Make sure that you aren't putting your Mac to sleep accidentally:

• Pressing the power button can put your Mac to sleep.
• Moving your mouse pointer to a hot corner can put your Mac to sleep, depending on your Mission Control settings. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mission Control. Click the Hot Corners button, then see if any of the corners are set to 'Put Display to Sleep.'
• Using magnets near your Mac notebook can put your Mac to sleep.

If your Mac doesn't go to sleep when you expect

Check your Energy Saver settings as described above, and be aware that your Mac won't automatically go to sleep unless it's inactive:

• The same network activities that can wake your Mac can also keep your Mac from sleeping.
• Any app or other process that's running on your Mac could also be keeping your Mac awake. Check the Energy Saver pane of Activity Monitor to identify apps that need your Mac to be awake. If 'Yes' appears in the Preventing Sleep column for an app, your Mac won't automatically sleep while the app is running. Other apps prevent sleep only when doing certain things, such playing music or video, printing, or downloading files.

If you started from macOS Recovery on a Mac notebook, automatic sleep is disabled as long as the Mac is using AC power.

If your Mac wakes unexpectedly

Your Mac might wake for these activities:

• Network activity that uses the Wake on Demand feature. Examples of network activity include iTunes sharing, photo sharing, printer sharing, file sharing, and using Back to My Mac.*
• Enhanced notifications from FaceTime, Messages, and other apps and services.
• Bluetooth activity. To prevent Bluetooth devices from waking your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. Click the Advanced Button, then deselect 'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer.'

If you have a MacBook Pro (2016 or later) or MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017), note that these models are designed to start up when you open their lids or connect them to power.

*As of July 1, 2019, Back to My Mac service is no longer available.

If your Mac doesn't wake when you expect

Your Mac might pause a few seconds before it wakes up. If it doesn't seem to wake at all, check for these possibilities:

• Your screen brightness might be turned down.
• If you're using an external display, your display might be turned off.
• Your Mac might be in safe sleep. To wake from safe sleep, press the power button.
• Check for a sleep indicator light, if applicable, and make sure that your Mac isn't turned off.

If the previous steps don't work

These additional steps may help identify or resolve the issue:

• Reset the SMC.
• Reset NVRAM.
• Disconnect external devices other than your Apple keyboard, mouse, and display. If that resolves the issue, gradually reconnect your devices, testing each time, until you find the device that is interfering with sleep. Then check the documentation that came with the device, or contact the device manufacturer.
• Start up in Safe Mode to see if the issue is related to non-Apple startup items, login items, or kernel extensions.
• Try to isolate the issue by using another user account.

If you still see the issue, contact Apple Support.

How to Set Up TeamViewer Remote Control

In order to make a start with TeamViewer’s remote control functions, navigate to the Remote Control tab of the main interface. Here, you will find your TeamViewer ID and your temporary password, which you can change at any point. With this information, you can allow a partner remote control of your computer.

In order to do this in reverse and control another computer remotely, you simply enter the partner computer ID and choose between various connection modes such as remote control, file transfer or VPN. Additionally, as soon as one or more remote connections have been established, each session will be displayed in the title bar of the Remote Control window. For more information on how to establish a remote control connection, see the TeamViewer
manual for remote control.

The other section of your main TeamViewer interface is the second tab labelled Meeting. This section is divided up into two main areas: host meetings and join meetings. In order to start a TeamViewer meeting, choose between the following options: a presentation, a video call or a phone call. You can also schedule and manage meetings from here.

When joining a meeting, enter your name and the meeting ID, which you will receive from the person inviting you to the meeting. Alternatively, you may receive an invitation message with a link that will automatically connect you to the meeting. Some meetings may require a password, depending on the preferences of the initiator of the meeting. For more information on how to navigate the meeting tab of your interface, see the TeamViewer manual for meetings.

While for the most part you usually wake your Mac by pressing a button on the keyboard or clicking the mouse, you can also do so over the network. This may be useful in instances where you are unable to get to the Mac, such as if you have a Mac Mini set up as a media or network server and have it tucked away in a closet.

Granted in most situations like this, you might set the system to never go to sleep, but there may be instances where a non-server system has been put to sleep and you need to access it.

Check this box in the Energy Saver system preferences to allow the system to be woken up.

Unfortunately waking a Mac over the network is not always a straightforward process that requires zero configuration, and you might need to first ensure the Mac is set up to be woken over the network, and then get some information from the system to target and wake it. This information is required for waking the system, so one option for small networks is to make a list of this information for each system so it can be quickly accessed.

First ensure the Mac is set up to be woken over the network:

1. Open the Energy Saver system preferences
2. Check the “Wake for network access” option. Note this may be in a separate tab, and might be called “Wake for Ethernet Access” or “Wake for Wi-Fi network access,” depending on the configuration of your system.

The Mac address for the selected network port can be found here.

Next, get your Mac’s local IP and MAC addresses (the MAC address is required, but the IP address may be useful):

1. Go to the Network system preferences
2. Select your active network connection (Wi-Fi, or Ethernet) from the sidebar
3. Click the Advanced button.
4. In the TCP/IP tab, make a note of the system’s IPv4 Address and subnet mask
5. In the Hardware tab, make a note of the system’s MAC Address

The final step is to wake your system, which can be done in a number of ways, but might most easily be done using a third-party utility such as Wake On Lan, or Wake Me, that are available from the App Store. Simply download the App and launch it, supply the MAC address for the target system into the address field (and optionally the IP address information), and if all goes well, then clicking the “Wake Me” button in the app will wake the system up.

Wake Up On Lan Teamviewer

With the MAC address entered, click the Wake Me button to wake the targeted system.

Troubleshooting

Teamviewer Wake On Lan Mac

This process should work as described, but sometimes it may run into problems, some of which are relatively simple to overcome:

1. Ensure both systems are on the same network
2. Check that you have the appropriate MAC address (there will be a separate one for each network interface)
3. Check that the IP address of the system has not changed
4. Check that there are no IP conflicts or other network configuration errors—reset your router to help clear these.
5. Check the port being used. The default of 4343 should be the appropriate port for Wake On Lan activity.
6. Check router settings. While most routers should allow Wake On Lan, some might have security features enabled to block this. Check to ensure no specific option is enabled to block Wake On Lan features.
