Powernap works for timemachine backups but NOT for Find My Mac. Mid 2011 mba. osx 10.8.2. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution to this issue. Console shows that mba wakes up for timemachine backups but when firing Find My Mac on iPhone or iMac, it does not succeed in locating my mba and it is listed as offline.

How to solve this?

Cheers

Kris

This states that you need to do an smc reset for full powernap functionality. It could be effecting it if it was an older macbook air that you updated to mountain lion?
