Remote Control doesn't work.

I got an Apple Remote control with my MacBook a while back. I refuses to work with my computer. It will not pair with my computer, it will not do anything. I read the support files, and I can see a blinking light when I hold it up to my camera in photo booth and press a button, so I know the batteries are working. The remote (or the receiver) does not want to work.

Open System Profiler (Application/Utilities)
Under Hardware on the left, select USB. Under USB Device tree on the right you should see...
USB Bus
IR Receiver
Is it there?

  • Earbuds remote control doesn't work anymore!

    Hi!
    I've had an iPhone 4 since September 2010, and I've always used the earbuds that came with him.They used to work great until this week.
    Now, it's buillt-in remote control doesn't work anymore.By that I mean I can not skip, pause or even use voice control through the earbuds.
    And this probably isn't an iPhone problem, because I tested these earbuds in my iPad 2 and the remote control still doesn't work.
    I noticed that the rubber that used to cover the cable itself is coming off, especially near the remote control area.
    Is there a fix for these unresponsive controls?
    Or what Apple email I should reach in order to ask them about this issue?
    Thanks!
    My iPhone 4 is running iOS 5.0 and so is my iPad 2.

    Is your phone locked in portrait orientation? I've found that for some reason my controls will not work when my portrait orientation is locked.
    Try double-clicking the main button, and then sliding your thumb right. You should get some controls at the bottom of your screen, and the button on the far left is the Portrait Lock button. Try unlocking your phone, and see if your earbuds will then work.
    Hope that might help!

  • After updating my iphone 3G and my ipodtouch 3G ios5, universal dock and remote control doesn´t work

    After updating my iphone 3G and my ipotouch 3G with ios5, the apple remote controls (the white and the aluminium one) doesn´t react when iphone or ipod are docked at the universal dock. The remote controls both still work with my Macbook, therefore it must be a problem with the dock. I have tried to connect both with the dock (Menu + left for 6 seconds) but it doesn´t help. Further the volume control doesn´t react on the iphone and the ipod when they are docked. Neither the one on the touchscreen nor the buttons. The day before the update everything was fine. Anyone any idea?
    Thanks!

    Look at the previous posts on the right under the heading: "More Like This".  I appears that others are having the same problem.

  • Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control doesn't work in windows

    Dear All,
    I have Qosmio G30-194,
    first i had a problem with the VGA , i send it for repair, when it comes back i noticed that the remote control is not working on windows Media Center, while in A/V mode it work perfectly.
    I tried to do full system restore from the recovery DVD, but nothing changed, even i installed Windows Vista with all of its drivers.
    Nothing changed also, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote control it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.
    Please advise me what to do, do i send it back to the service center , or there is an easier solution.

    N.B, : My laptop info are:
    Model Number PQG32E-01P018AR
    Thank you in advance

    don't expect toshiba to fix problems like this.
    they replaced motherboard on my laptop and ever since the remote was not working.. it would turn the laptop on but was unresponsive thereafter. thing's we have tried:
    - install software and drivers for remote again
    - reinstall windows
    - replace reciever
    - change motherboard
    - change remote
    - terminate and restart relevant processes
    - downgrade bios
    - update bios
    - combinations of the above
    on several occassions Toshiba told me they were able to replicate and solve the problem but after trying it on my laptop they remembered that actually their one was slightly different.
    almost a year later, i still have a non-working remote
    my theory is the laptop leaves factory with certain software which Toshiba fail to include in recovery partition and\or bios that is available through them... so once you lose the factory components (i.e.the original motherboard) you also lose some necessary files with them.

  • Apple Remote controll doesn't work

    hi there.
    I have read, that the Apple Remote Controll, that can be used for things like iPhoto & iTunes can also be used to controll Logic 8, starting and stopping playback ... .
    Doesn't work at my system. Is there anything i have to setup? Have heared it should work by default.
    thx for help

    In iTunes 8:
    Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Devices tab. Make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
    In iTunes 7:
    Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Advanced tab. Select the General tab beneath it, and make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
    You also want to be sure that both devices (the computer and the iPod) are connected to the same wireless network.

    I too have this exact same issue.  The play, stop, forward, reverse buttons don't do anything, and also the sound buttons, they activate the volume window but not adjustment of the volume happens. The only buttons that work are the opening of applications and the power button. All this happened after I installed some free updating software for some other paid and free applications I have (Advanced SystemCare Professional), all quite legitiment, as a result there were corrupt icons and I had to uninstall the offending software and some corrupted software including Microsoft Office beta and reinstall... no viruses were found on a full Zonealarm scan.  I have the DV6-2113TX on Win-7.  If ANYONE has a clue how to fix the full functionality of the remote, please let me know as it's really niggling me that it just doesn't work even after reinstalling the drivers for the IR etc.
    I tried contacting HP online and I get NO replies.  I am yet to phone.  It is still under warranty with 20 months left (8 months manufacturer, 12 months supplier).
    cheers

  • My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

  • Replay video in Muse (some controls doesn't work)

    Hello colleagues,
    Can't understand what is happening. I put a video in the Animate and assign controls for buttons (for example, replay video from 0:00 sec). For stage and video autoplay function are disabled.
    Then I export the oam-file and insert it into the Muse with a Scroll Effect "Edge Animate" (Autoplay) to play the video at a certain point. Video starts correctly, but some controls doesn'n work, for example, "replay video". Along with this function "Toggle video play/pause" works correcly.
    Actually, I want to loop video playback but it doesn't work in the Muse (Loop function for a video).
    Can anybody recommend a solution?
    Thanks!

    Hello Joe,
    This is very interesting, but when I upload the project from Muse to my FTP-server, everything is working properly in all of browsers, all of controls and loop for the video clip. I found it by accident when I lost all hope. In other words, the problem is only when previewing the page in a browser (via the built-in local server). Maybe this is a question for the team Muse? Anyway I can send it in PM.
    Thanks for your reply,
    Alexander

  • How do I get the remote control app to work for a Sony HDD Hi Res audio player?

    Can't get the iPhone remote control app to work for my HDD Hi Res Audio player.  The app can "find" the player and I can turn on the power with the app but then can't get it to go to my music - can only use the "demo" tool with the demo info. What am I doing wrong?

    Good day cb94!
    I'd like to see if I can assist you with the Hi-Res Audio player. Please provide us the model, use this link to verify the model: http://esupport.sony.com/ Thank you! - Paul

    As this is the forum for PPC (pre-2006, non Intel) iMacs I assume that is what you have.

  • My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5

    My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks, daniel.early79!
    I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
    I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
    Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
    Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
    Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
    I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
    The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

  • Volume control doesn´t work with iphone 3gs

  • With new os 5.1 for iPhone, the headphone controls doesn't work

    i've noticed that with new release of os 5.1, the headphone controls doesn't work. no volumes controls neither the central control.
    with ipad the same headphones works well.

    I'm having the same issue, but without having upgraded to iOS 6.1 - it just started out of the blue last night.
    Timeline:
    It suddenly heated up, I turned it off. Battery at 87%
    After maybe 45 minutes, I turned it on again. Battery at 45%. It would not charge at this point.
    I tried MANY things, including turning off WiFi, mobile data, location services, Gmail sync (though not Exchange sync, which had given no problems before. I'd recently changed some Gmail settings, so I reverted them).
    I tried to restore, but my crappy internet was unable to download the iOS 6.1 file.
    I looked it up on the internet and performed a hard reset, after which the phone began to charge, to my delight.
    I charged it to nearly full (92%) then lay in bed using Twitter and iBooks for some time, after which battery was at 65%.
    After sleeping for around 7 hours, the battery lies dead. Attempts to charge it (both from the wall adapter, which is a standard India 220V charger, and from my laptop) are making it flash the Apple logo for around 4 seconds before the screen turns off; this repeats ad infinitum.
    What do? The nearest Apple Store is three hours away and I have exams on; can't get away before Saturday at the earliest, so I'd like to have some use out of the phone in the near future.
