If your Mac asleep, sending a magic WOL packet would wake up the Mac, however, if your Mac doesn’t have an Ethernet connection then when it was completely powered off you will not be able to wake up the Mac.So System Preferences is how you control settings on your Mac. Wake-over-Wifi needs the same setup in the Go to System Preferences Energy Saver (check) Wake for Wi-Fi network access. There are other ways to view the System Preferences. You click that and it will take you to Preferences that have to do with your Apple ID, iCloud, and other Apple services.Whenever you're looking at a category of preferences you can always click on this button here to go back to the main System Preferences screen. You also see the very important Apple ID System Preferences here. At the top though you should see your name and information that applies to you as the user of this Mac account. The icons are arranged in three different groups with third party System Preferences at the bottom. So in View, Customize you now get checkboxes next to everything. If you want you can even customize what you see. So you can simply jump to one by selecting it from this list. Notice under View you also have a list of all of the different categories here. A radio button is basically like a checkbox but it's a series of them and only one can be selected at a time. For Show Scroll Bars there are three radio buttons. For instance here's a checkbox for Allow wallpaper tinting in windows. So once you're inside one of the categories, also called a Pane as in a window pane, you can change your preferences using a variety of different things. You could click here or here then to get to it. You could see it comes up here as a result and it shows you where it is located. Here you see some Sliders for size and magnification. So if you want to control things that have to do with Dock & Menu Bar you have this selected and you can see various controls here. In Dock & Menu Bar you have a Sidebar here on the left. You can see it kind of works like a radio button but has a custom picture instead of a little circle.In some of these the controls get even more complex. Other times there are custom controls like for Appearance I could go to Light, Dark, or Automatic. There's a whole list here of pictures that you can scroll through and set one as your Desktop background. Desktop & Screen Saver has another complex set of controls. I would just go through each one of these for various different settings. You can see the same thing say in Spotlight where there's and Privacy. So it's kind of a deeper level. So it changes what's underneath here. A Desktop tab and a Screen Saver tab. At the top here you can actually see there are two different tabs for this System Preferences pane. So you can drag and drop a photo into here. So here I am in Mail, for instance, and I can go to Mail Preferences and this is where I get to preferences that have to do with this app. Instead you'll find those in the individual apps. There's a lot more than what you see just here at the top level.Now one way System Preferences is fundamentally different from the Settings app in iOS is that you will not find App settings there. So as you can see you can go pretty deep into System Preferences. General, FireVault, Firewall, and Privacy. System Preferences Wake For Network Access Bluetooth Icon AndIt opens up System Preferences right to Bluetooth. For instance here's the Bluetooth icon and you could see I can select that and go to Bluetooth Preferences. Sometimes those have direct access to the Preferences.

Or use the little question mark icon at the bottom to bring up Help so you can read about what each thing is. If you don't know what it is maybe try it out. Go through each item here. If you're a power user one of the things you want to do occasionally is go through System Preferences and look in every single category. You can select one right from that list and it will jump right to it. I do that every time Apple comes out with their annual major update of macOS. Go through all of System Preferences and look and see what's new.
