If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

  • Our AirPort works fine with two MacBooks in the house, but not my iPhone or a PC laptap...why?

    Help. We live in a house with 3 people. Two of us have macs, the other PC. The girl with the PC has never been able to connect to the wi-fi. Her computer will show full bars, but will tell her that it is unable to connect. Then I got a new iPhone and same thing...strong network signal, correct password, but it tells me that it cannot connect. Why does this happen? Why won't airport let us connect?

    AT&T has not completely updated the MicroCell page and links. The new MicroCell is the black DPH-154 model which is replacing the white "Y" shaped models and you describe it. Functionally, they are currently the same. The only difference is that Cisco/AT&T has done away with the external antenna port and the Computer port. It's not a money making scam.
    You can have multiple phones connected to the MicroCell at any one time without issues. One of the iPhones I assume has the phone number that is associated with the AT&T mobile account. That should be the phone number used to register the MicroCell with (what we call the primary number). The other iPhone, which I will assume is on the same account, needs to be added to the Approved Users List. Once you add the "problem" phone, turn off the phone and then turn it back on so that it can add the MicroCell to its cellular neighborhood.

  • Pair the remote with Macbook

    I can't pair the remote with my Macbook (which was purchased 3 days ago) and its driving me CRAZY!
    HELP

    My guess is that unfortunately he wasn't aware that the IR receiver had been eliminated. Either that or he assumed that you knew and you were purchasing it for a different Mac. Regardless, they should take it back for a refund. If they won't refund it in full since it's open, you may want to speak to a manager to explain the misunderstanding. Stay calm and don't get too hot about the issue or they may refuse the refund.

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

    Hi ,
    I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
    Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
    examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
    (1) waking the macbook with apple remote
    (2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
    (3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
    (4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
    while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
    please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
    I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .
    Thanks

    Hi suresh,
    as mentioned here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
    and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
    you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
    usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
    Good Luck

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • Can I use one GBIP-Interface with two programs at the same time?

    Hi, I have one PCI-GBIP-controller with multiple instruments installed. Now I want to use these instruments with two differents programs at the same time.
    E.g.: program 1 uses GPIB0::1 and GPIB0::3
    and program 2 uses GPIB0::4 and GPIB0::7
    Is this possible??
    When I have tried to do this, I always got timeout errors..
    Thanx in advance.
    Philipp

    Hi,
    You shouldn't have any problems accessing different devices from different programs using the same interface. I even used the two VIs to communicate with the same device. Although not the best approach, VISA didn't return any errors.

  • I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
    Problem:
    You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
    You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
    You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
    You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
    Solution:
    BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
    1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
    Applications : Canon Utilities
    Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
    and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
    2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
    Library : CFMSupport
    and if it didn't, move it there yourself
    THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

    What does Sony say?  Sony and Apple are not on the best of terms.

    I have an iPhone 4 also.  If you are referring to the flyover view, its unavailble for the iPhone4.  If you want to rotate the map, hold two fingers on the map for 2-3 seconds and rotate them in opposite directions.
    Hope this helps

  • I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes

    I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes and only let's me see the current playlist on the iPod only

    You can only sync to one computer.
    You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
    Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

  • I have a 500 gig time capsule.  I have used with a Macbook.  The Macbook has a 500 gig hard drive which is about 3/4 full.   Now we just purchased a new MacBook pro with a 1 TB hard drive.   Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?

    Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?
    Probably yes. You might be able to get the full backup of the new MacBook Pro on the Time Capsule, but it will not be long before the Time Capsule is out of space.
    Better to add a new Time Capsule and backup the new MacBook Pro to the new Time Capsule, and keep the old MacBook backing up to the old Time Capsule.
    If you do not want to add a new Time Capsule, another option would be to erase the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups of both Macs and move forward.
