TV remote keeps waking IQ505

How do I turn off the IQ505 remote receiver?  I do not have a tuner and my TV remote keeps waking up the computer.   

WOWzers, that is a real issue for a lot of ppl, especially those that play some game called "Windower".  I just googled it and found loads of frustrated users out there trying almost everything to disable it...
However, I think I stumbled across a good thread, sounds like a combination of ppl managed to figure it out.

1) Disable automatic driver downloads:

2) Turn off SSDP Discovery:
- Start menu -> Type in "services.msc" without quotes and press Enter -> Scroll to "SSDP Discovery" -> Right click and select Properties -> Change Startup Type to "Disabled" -> Apply -> OK
3) Uninstall ENE CIR Receiver:
- Start menu -> Right click Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Click the + beside Human Interface Devices -> Right click "ENE CIR Receiver" and select Uninstall -> MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE UNINSTALL SOFTWARE BOX ON THE PROMPT (this will take the Microsoft eHome Infrared Trasceiver with it) -> OK -> Let the uninstall take place -> Reboot the computer
4) Preventing installation of IR device drivers:
- Upon reboot you will receive a prompt asking you if you want to install the device drivers -> SELECT "NEVER FOR THIS DEVICE"
5) Turn ON SSDP Discovery:
- Follow directions from earlier and select "Manual" from the drop down menu (Startup Type) -> Apply -> OK
5) Play XI

  • MacBook Pro keeps waking from sleep on its own

    My MacBook Pro keeps waking itself from sleep for no reason.
    I had the battery changed for free by Apple (apparently it's one symptom of a problem with the original battery) but it hasn't abated. (Occasionally it won't wake up from sleep too, but that's rare and so not much of a problem). The main issue is its inability to stay asleep.
    Anyone else had this? I can't find any advice anywhere else and the Genius Bar at the only store I can get to is always fully-booked.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Hi craigie, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In addition to Michael's ideas, there have been some weird sleep issues caused by a System Preference, and although your issue doesn't sound the same, if you run on AirPort (and not Ethernet) I'd check it out anyway:
    -Open System Preferences.
    -Open Network.
    -Click on Built-in Ethernet (note what it says underneath it: Not Connected or Inactive; Inactive is what seems to have caused the majority of other issues).
    -Click the - button at the bottom of the window to delete the original Ethernet pref.
    -Click Apply.
    -Click the + button.
    -For Interface, select Ethernet.
    -For Service Name, enter Built-in Ethernet.
    -Click on Create.
    -Make sure your Location is set to Automatic or AirPort (or whatever you normally have it set to).
    -Click on Apply and close Preferences.

  • Imac keeps waking up immediately after being put to sleep

    hi
    firstly, apologies if this question has already been answered elsewhere in the community
    i bought an imac in june of this year (running most up-to-date version of mountain lion), and normally when i leave it, i put it to sleep instead of shutting down
    have had no issues in doing this until last night.. now, as soon as i put it to sleep, it goes into sleep mode and then instantly wakes itself up again
    i have checked the battery on the mouse and the keyboard (98% and 100% respectively)
    i have nothing plugged into any usb ports
    any ideas on why it keeps waking up by itself and how to resolve this issue?
    thanks

    hello
    thanks for your reply
    i am new to apple products and to the community, and having read the community etiquette i apologise for not referring to the 'more like this' section before i posted - lesson learned
    in respect of your advice, i checked the energy saver options as you suggested and the 'wake for network access' option was unchecked
    interestingly, i have never had this issue until last night and i have made no system changes, downloaded or updated anything?
    still a bit confused, will read through the 'more like this' posts and see if my answer lurks there somewhere
    thanks again

  • Why does my iMac keep waking every 2 minutes from 2:00 in the morning?

    Hi,
    I awoke the other night and happened to notice my iMac keeps waking from sleep every 2 minutes from 2:00 in the morning. The screen doesn't come on, I hear the harddrive power up for a little while then stop, 2 minutes later it happens again.
    I don't have "Wake for Network Access" on, and have tried turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices", I have also done a Virus Scan
    I have been able to link the wake attempts to RTC (Alarm) - Real Time Clock. And I have also looked in the console although I don't really understand what is being logged, please see below.
    I have OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) installed on a mid 2010 iMac, although I can't say how long this has been happening.
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Regards
    Byron

  • My 23" HD Monitor Keeps Waking Up - Help!!

    My monitor keeps waking up on it's own. I know there must be something going on internally with my Mac Pro that makes it wake up. What should I start with?

    I've recently started having this problem with a 23" ACD. It's connected to a 15" PowerBook. I'm still running 10.4.10 on that system.
    Before I noticed this problem, I noticed that I started getting problems with devices plugged into the Firewire hub on the monitor. I had some external drives plugged into it, and whenever I switched off the monitor they started experiencing momentary loss of the Firewire bus (hence, they disconnected with an error.)
    Suspecting first a software fault (the USB was also plugged into the monitor at this time) I unplugged that. But the Firewire problem persisted. I've stopped using the Firewire hub, and since then started getting this 'switching itself back on' problem.
    This all leads me to suspect a power supply fault of some form. Having just read other threads, which report problems with the monitor going off (or not coming on), and suggesting that power supplies have been failing, strengthens that suspicion for me. Looks like it's time to invoke the Applecare warranty.

  • ICloudDrive.exe keeps waking up my PC

    I have my Windows 7 PC set to sleep after being idle for 10 minutes. Since I installed the latest iCloud control panel and enabled iCloud Drive my machine keeps waking up after sleeping for about 10 seconds. The machine then sits there for the 10 minutes specified, sleeps for 10 seconds and wakes up again in this sleep wake loop. After much searching I have discovered that it is iclouddrive.exe that is causing this problem. If I kill the iclouddrive.exe task everything is ok. The machine sleeps until I wake it or one of the scheduler tasks wakes it.
    I can leave iclouddrive.exe running, go into control Panel / Power Options / Advance Power Setting / Change When My Computer Sleeps / Change Advance Power Settings / Sleep / Allow Wake Timers and set it to "Disable". The machine sleeps after 10 minutes ok and wakes as normal when the mouse or keyboard is used, BUT no schedules tasks run.
    It seems to be a bug in iclouddrive.exe .

    This fix would not correct the situation with my PC.  The only thing that works is to complete disable the iclouddrive services, etc.  Hoping that Apple comes up with a fix for this soon.  In the meantime, I have unchecked the iCloudDrive option to prevent it from running on my PC until the bug is corrected.

  • Dual disk drives -- unmounted/ejected drive keeps waking up

    Hi, I just got a 2010 15" MBP and installed a secondary hard drive in place of the SuperDrive. My problem is that even though I'm not using the secondary drive and it's unmounted/ejected, it keeps waking up / spinning up every few minutes (like 3-4 minutes). I configured the drives to sleep after a minute idle, so it goes to sleep within a short while after waking up... but still it's quite strange that this is happenning...
    Can anyone point to the reason this happens, or give ideas of where to look for clues regarding what's making the drive wake up?
    Thanks!
    EDIT: I kept searching and found this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11437456 -- my problem is similar... although I'm not using any 3rd-party software to control the drive.

    That is common and in my sleep tips;
    "USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit."

  • IPhone 4 keeps waking itself up

    I tether my phone to my laptop for the laptop's internet connection. No problem there. The problem arises when I unplug the phone from the laptop and take it into town. I put it to sleep (if that's what it's called) by pushing and holding the button on the top outer edge. To "wake" it back up I hit the home button and "slide to unlock" - all as it should be.
    Trouble is, the phone keeps waking up all by itself. At first I thought it might be because it was jiggled in my pocket - or an e-mail came in - or something but then it was sitting on a table at a friend's and woke itself up over and over and over. We all (3 of us) watched in fascination.
    Does anyone have ANY idea what is causing this? I've been to both my service provider (Rogers) and the local Mac store which also sells the phones. Both are baffled. It's driving me nuts! Sometimes the iPod starts playing too, all by itself. Rogers tech support had me fiddled with some settings but it didn't help. :>(

    Thought I'd better report back on this issue, in case others encounter the same problem. I ended up not resetting the phone the next day because the phone behaved itself the whole time I was in town. However, I've figured out what the problem was (I hope).
    On a trip back from the coast during a blizzard my phone started going REALLY nuts, not only turning itself on but disconnecting from Bluetooth over and over. Then it was fine for a few days. Then it started acting up again. It finally dawned on me what the problem could be.
    I have a Bluetooth keyboard which I pack around in a bag (I hate typing on the iPhone keyboard) and I'm almost positive that is what is creating the problem. My first clue was after I got home through the blizzard. I noticed that there was a text message open and contained one character typed over and over and over. After something similar happening yesterday I think that what's waking up the phone is the keyboard, similar to when a phone call comes in. The keyboard starts typing (from pressure of something in the bag), so the phone thinks it's supposed to be awake and working. If I either turn off Bluetooth on the phone or get far enough away from the keyboard, the phone behaves.

  • Insomniac iMac keeps waking

    Anyone have notions why my iMac keeps waking? The console reads like this, over and over:
    1/30/09 3:27:40 PM /usr/sbin/ocspd2262 starting
    1/30/09 3:27:47 PM com.apple.Safari2267 YES
    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
    iMac Mac OS X (10.5.6)

    So maybe it is the moue or the keyboard itself.
    Have you tried pulling the batteries out of both and see if the machine wakes up then?

  • PC keeps waking up from sleep. Alreay took away persmision from devices.

    This is not new for me. Almost every time after installing windows on a machine I get this problem.
    So after installing Windows 10 I went into device manager and disallowed almost all of the devices from waking up the PC
    Everything was fine for a few days
    but yesterday I believe an update was installed and now the PC wont stay sleeping for more than a minute before starting back up
    I have disallowed every single device from waking up the PC and yet it keeps waking back up.
    Is anyone else having this issue after the latest update to Windows 10? Has anyone found a solution?
    Thanks for reading

    Greetings, my MacBook Pro keeps waking from sleep when I have it plugged in to my 24" Apple Display.  Doesn't seem to wake from sleep when it's not.  Anyone else having similar issues?  Thoughts?  I did turn off the option to allow network access to wake it to see if that would help, but alas, this morning she was awake.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, that does happen to me. The only thing that works for me is that after you plug it in to press command-option-eject and that will put your laptop to sleep. Hope that answers your question.

  • IMac keeps waking itself up

    My iMac 27" keeps waking itself back up after I put it to sleep.  This just started about two days ago.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
    Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computer  will not sleep if Internet Sharing is enabled.
    Step 2
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
    Step 3
    Select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
    and uncheck both boxes marked
              Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
    Step 4
    Reset the SMC.
    Step 5
    Disconnect all wired peripherals and test. If you use a wired keyboard and/or mouse, use different ones. You must rule out the wired keyboard and mouse as possible causes of the problem.
    Step 6
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after restarting out of safe mode, post again.

  • Mac keeps waking up in the middle of the night

    So my Mac's been waking up in the middle of the night, and I want to keep my electricity bill down. Anything in these 5 console lines point anything out, internet detectives?

    Thank you all!

    Also try looking through this thread on MacRumors.
    Try ejecting and removing connected devices one-by-one. Turn off Airport and Bluetooth. Some programs may be preventing sleep; try quitting programs one-by-one to identify the culprit.

  • Prevent Apple Remote from waking MacBook Pro

    The Apple Remote that comes with the new MacBook Pro can be used to put the machine to sleep. It can also be used to wake it from sleep, by pushing any button on the remote.
    Is there a way to prevent the Apple Remote from being able to wake the machine, other than removing its battery or using the Security settings to turn the IR port off? Both seem a little drastic, as I do want to be able to use the remote once the machine is on; I just don't want the remote waking it accidentally, especially when I'm travelling.

    thanks, I had no idea that was possible.
    As for your problem, I don't know, but surely if your MBP is in a bag, and the remote is not in line-of sight, it would not accidentally wake it anyway??
    Also I'm pretty sure the MBP will not wake up if the lid is closed.
