TV Remote set-up

I've an LG model 37 LH 2000.
None of the codes in the book work.
Anyone got the same problem or know a fix?
Regards
Tony

From what I have read (as I don't have an lg set) the silver remote is not supported even though the code 011 is in the book
but it has been reported that the black remote might work with a code of 017

    I recently Brooke the screen on my iPhone 5. I need to cases my data and would like to remotely set up iCloud on my broken 5 using my iPad. How would I go about this?

    Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

  • Big Thanks for Menu Remote Setting from Ch. Play Lists

    Just before I handed over a DVD with 5 menus and 19 Ch. Play Lists, I was reading old posts on the EncoreDVD Forum. In several posts, many of the regulars pointed out a potential problem with Menu Remote, being set to "Return to Last Menu," rather than being physically set to return to the specific menu, from which that Ch. Playlist was launched.
    I had not known of this problem, beforehand, and was just assuming that "Return to Last Menu," was OK, as it was what I intended. I had not tested my Project 100% from the +RW, as I do not normally use the Menu Remote button, and all else was as I wanted it.
    I made the corrections to the specific Menus for the final, and then tested the +RW again - about half of the time, the Menu Remote took me back to the Main Menu! Not what I wanted, but had not bothered checking. Much better to know now, than when the client is screening the DVD and this is creating a problem.
    Thanks for the H/U on this little glitch, and providing the easy solution to it. The forums at their best!!!!
    I also understand that this little quirk has been addressed and fixed in CS3.

    Oops,
    Missed the sub-forum by two. This was supposed to go in Playlists. Maybe JerryK, or KingLeonard will move it. Sorry about clicking the wrong line.

  • Youview App Problems remotely setting recordings (...

    Hi,
    Received the BT Youview box and instralled using powerline adaptors and everything seems to be OK including catchup TV.
    Last week downloaded the Android App and installed it OK on a GalaxyS3. Tried it out by connecting to my BT Hub via WiFi and managed to easily set up a recording to ptove that the concept actually works. Hub is a BT Homehub2 at SW 8.1.H.U
    Using the phone remotely (either at wifi hotspot of via 3g) the app says 'message sent' but the recorder never receives the command to set the recording. I have also noticed that the Homehub gives an error when trying to display the home network page (page not found). I have no issues with my QNap NAS being accessed remotely (I set up port forwarding for 80 and 8080)
    Any ideas? Do I need to set up port forwarding specifically for the Youview Box? Might it be best if I upgrade to a newer Homehub (I just renewed for 12 months and was not given the option to upgrade my hub).
    Thanks for any guidance!
    Solved!

    No great knowledge here but as you suspect I think it will be the HH2 that is the issue

  • Our company decided to use Firefox for an implementation and we need to remotely set all systems to empty cache on exit

    We need to find, either a registry key or setting that can be deployed to all our computers. Specifically, it is to clear the disk cache files on exit. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    hello hernandm, you can use the method described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences to deploy certain settings.
    put the following code into the mozilla.cfg file to force firefox installations to clear the cache at shutdown:
    lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);
    lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.formdata", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.history", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.openWindows", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);
    defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings", false);

  • Remotely set Security on client computers

    I want all client computers to require a password when the screensaver is activated, regardless of who is logged in. Can these settings be made using either ARD2 or ARD3? Is there a Unix command or AppleScript to activate this setting that can be sent to each client computer? Or does a particular file need to be locked? If so, what file?
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver askForPassword 1
    defaults -currentHost read com.apple.screensaver
    will give the value that is set... you can test it with Terminal on your computer
    send this as the logged in user to change the preference for that specific user. it'll have to be done numerous times if a computer has more than one user.
    i don't think you can do it if a user is logged out... unless you script something up with automator and applescript.
    i don't think the GUI reflects what the preference is set for accurately when issuing this command though. using the second command listed above to read the value will give what the preference is set for though. i've opened a bug report with apple

  • Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

    I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

    Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

  • WDS Set up - Help Needed! Airport Extreme with one Relay and one remote

    Hi Guys,
    I need a bit of help. I am feeling quite stupid and frustrated. I am having some difficulty with setting up a WDS network with:
    Base station: Airport extreme (current version)
    Relay: Airport Express (current version)
    Remote: Airport Express (current version)
    I start by cold resetting the three units. The Base station is connected via Ethernet. The setup I wish to get going is a simple base - relay - remote.
    I go through the utility manager and set up the base station, first as "create a wireless network" enter the ISP details etc etc. Its green light. Everything is fine. Then manually configure the Base Station. Hold down option key hit Participate in a WDS. I then select main enter + and add the Mac Id's for the intended Relay unit and Remote Unit (12 character and numeric string). At this stage I am only adding the intended Relay unit and Remote units MAC number.
    Question 1: Do I need to add the base unit's MAC number itself under: WDS Remotes? even I am setting it up as Main?
    I am careful to note the security settings and the the Wireless Network name to match these in the relay and remote set up. Under the Wireless tab I leave the Radio Mode: as Automatic (802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n). I make sure the base has "allow this network to be extended" ticked. Under Radio Channel selection I edit it to reference channel 1 for 2.4Ghz (5 Ghz leave as Auto). I am careful when setting up the Relay and remote to match the Radio Channel. (Although I tired many channels as I thought maybe interference was a factor and denying the fact its obviously my set up skills as a factor).
    Question 2: Do you need to disable Guest networks? I would think it does not matter as I have tired turning it off and has not made any difference.
    Under Access Control I leave as default, Not enabled.
    Next I hit update and and error message comes up. WDS Error as it can not find other units. Ok fine as the relay and remote are not yet set up. So I ignore and can get to the stage where the base unit is working and green light with an internet connection.
    I then proceed to set up the Relay unit. Doing the same steps as above with a couple of differences being I add the MAC numbers and select the WDS Mode (Relay for Relay and Remote for Remote. I add the Main base station (i.e Airpot Extreme MAC No.) when prompted and then + the Remotes MAC number. The same for the Remote except I only need to add the base station's main no.
    Question 3. Do I need to add the Relay's own MAC number to its own setup? This seems doubtful as with the base station but tired with and without for good measure with no success.
    The 2.4Ghz channels are all set to 1. Radio mode set to Auto. Although even when I try to manually set them to all identical it doesn't seem t help.
    Then the problems begin. The base unit is Green and the Relay and Remote say they are not connected to the internet. I assume since I have not seen a WDS Error message then the units are set up correctly or as I ignored it on the base unit. But when click unignore the error seems to work itself out.
    Question 4. I need help to understand why I have no internet. The remote / relay says something about no IP number and I don't really understand what I should do? Do I need to go back the Airport Utility Manager and start messing about with the TCP/IP, DHCP, NAT ? The base is set up PPPoE and the relay and remote are set to Bridge.
    It is really puzzling me why the relay and remote flash amber with error messages related to the IP number? I have tried turning off the base station and router and then on again but no joy.
    Can anyone please enlighten me or give me a few ideas? I am doing something very obviously stupid and I guess the fix is something simple that I have overlooked.
    I did spend the time and go through the threads and search online, So I am not trying to waste anyone's time I referenced the two links to get a second opinion:
    http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/03/taming-an-airport-express-wds.html
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/settingup_an_airport_relay_with_airportexpress/
    Any help much appreciated!

    I need a bit of help.
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    My WDS experience is limited to "main" and "remote" configurations (no "relay"), so I'm not posting from direct experience, but below is what I think would work in your case.
    I go through the utility manager and set up the base station, first as "create a wireless network" enter the ISP details etc etc. Its green light. Everything is fine. Then manually configure the Base Station. Hold down option key hit Participate in a WDS. I then select main enter + and add the Mac Id's for the intended Relay unit and Remote Unit
    I don't think the "main" unit needs to be told about the "remote" unit, only about the "relay" unit.
    Question 1: Do I need to add the base unit's MAC number itself under: WDS Remotes? even I am setting it up as Main?
    You'd never enter the MAC address of a unit into its own configuration, if that's what you mean. I also don't think that you'd need to enter the MAC address of the main into the remote and conversely.
    I am careful to note the security settings and the the Wireless Network name to match these in the relay and remote set up. Under the Wireless tab I leave the Radio Mode: as Automatic (802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n).
    Five things have to match in a WDS configuration: network name, encryption type, network password, band, and channel.
    I make sure the base has "allow this network to be extended" ticked.
    I don't think that's important for a WDS configuration.
    Question 2: Do you need to disable Guest networks?
    I wouldn't think that matters.
    Under Access Control I leave as default, Not enabled.
    That's fine.
    WDS Error as it can not find other units. Ok fine as the relay and remote are not yet set up.
    Right.
    I then proceed to set up the Relay unit. Doing the same steps as above with a couple of differences being I add the MAC numbers and select the WDS Mode (Relay for Relay and Remote for Remote. I add the Main base station (i.e Airport Extreme MAC No.) when prompted and then + the Remotes MAC number. The same for the Remote except I only need to add the base station's main no.
    I think this should be the MAC address of the relay station, not that of the main station.
    Question 3. Do I need to add the Relay's own MAC number to its own setup?
    No.

  • Remote app on iphone with Itunes library / Erratic connection problems.

    I have been using Remote app on my Iphone to manage Itunes for months with 100% pleasure and 0 trouble.
    For a few days, it has some erratic behaviour like having difficulties to connect to my Itunes library.
    In such case if I touch the Change Library button on Iphone remote screen, it connects quite instantly...
    I have a simple wifi network generated by my adsl box and a single computer.
    The remote setting option "stay connected" on Iphone is On.
    Generally when I get connected if I quit remote on Iphone and restart it within a minut it will find the library in a jiffy most of times ... but sometimes not.
    I disabled firewall : no change.
    I scratched all remotes in Itunes and paired the Iphone again : no change.
    Does anyone with some idea ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jean.

    Almost the same issue here. And this only started yesterday.
    Initially iTunes would not pair at all, but I went into add/remove programs (Win 7 PC) and ran a repair on Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, and iTunes. I did not remove or reinstall any of these applications.
    After this my iPhone remote app would be found by iTunes, the passcode accepted, plus the library showed up. I thought I'd cracked it...
    But after a few minutes - usually when the screensaver kicks in on my PC - my iPhone loses connection to my library and WILL NOT reconnect unless I restart iTunes.
    I have to say that over the years the remote App is without doubt THE most buggy, inconsistent and erratic piece of software I have ever used. If there was a decent alternative I'd have ditched it a long time ago.
    Looking forward to a solution from one of the experts here (not expecting Apple themselves to even respond!).

  • ReportViewer control used with a remote report does not display any data.

    Hi there,
    I have this .rdl report that runs just fine on our reporting server (I can see that when I try to run the report by accessing its URL in a browser). However, when I run it in my Windows-based application, I do not see any data. My report has two input parameters
    and it needs to impersonate the caller's identity because the database uses Windows Authentication.
    Here is the code I use:
    var reportViewer = new ReportViewer();
    // Set Processing Mode
    reportViewer.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Remote;
    // Set report server and report path
    reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("http://MySsrsServer/reportserver");
    reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/Reports/MyReport";
    // set the credentials
    reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.ImpersonationUser = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
    // create report parameters and set them in the report
    var param1 = new ReportParameter("First_Param", "Some string");
    var param2 = new ReportParameter("Second_Param", "Some other string");
    reportViewer.ServerReport.SetParameters(new ReportParameter[] { param1, param2 });
    using (var reportForm = new ReportForm(reportViewer))
    reportForm.ShowDialog();
    The ReportForm is just a regular Form that has a member of type ReportViewer. In the class' constructor, I assign the member:
    public ReportForm(ReportViewer reportViewer)
    InitializeComponent();
    try
    this.reportViewer = reportViewer;
    reportViewer.SetDisplayMode(DisplayMode.PrintLayout);
    reportViewer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    reportViewer.ZoomMode = ZoomMode.Percent;
    reportViewer.ZoomPercent = 100;
    reportViewer.RefreshReport();
    catch (Exception exception)
    MessageBox.Show(exception.Message);
    Using database level tracing, we were able to confirm that the two Stored Procedures used by the report are called and they return correct and valid records. However, in the form nothing shows up:
    Any suggestions?
    TIA,
    Ed

    Good to know CR doesn't like joins of Stored Procedures to something else.
    But in my testcase, I finally dropped the link between the ttx file and the stored procedure. Doing so, I was able to run the report from the designer with the stored procedure as datasource instead of the ttx file. At that moment, I still had missing data in my report, while the resultset of the stored procedure returns me all the correct data !
    In the mean time, I changed the layout a bit, especially the text fields containing name, address, country and postal code and city of the customer, by just adding some spaces between those seperate databasefields. In fact, there is one text box with all those database fields concatenated one to the other.
    And by just adding some spaces in between, my report works fine again ?!

  • Problem with set-up of a macmini server with airport

    Dear readers
    Last week I took the bolt step to buy a macmini with OS 10.6 server to set-up a server at home for al kinds of reasons including the claim that it should be easy. Well I am still struggling but making progress in discovering how things work. To be honest this is part of the fun and one of the other reasons to buy the systems. There is one problem I hope somebody can help me with. In the getting started guide a set-up with an airport between the server and the router of the internet provider is promoted. The router is the DNS server, the airport the DHCP server for the local network. This is what I like to do as the macmini has only one Ethernet port and other configurations are not possible without making changes in the hardware configuration. The network service documentation seems to me not supporting this set-up. It considers the server to be used as DHCP server and DNS server where the airport is only used as wifi hub. Also I had problems with the initial set-up that gives the option to include the airport in the configuration and should set-up everything automatically. Halfway during the automatic set-up process at the end of the configuration the airport was reset causing the set-up process to fall over. I used the remote set-up process as only this process asks for the airport connection.
    I have not figured out how to set-up the DNS to get access to the server from outside . My provider is revering to a site dyndns.com but I have not checked this.
    Does anybody have experience with the configuration I am working on. Did I miss something in the set-up or the documentation, especially related to the DNS setup including using dyndns.com and the DHCP set-up.
    Thanks for your advice.

    The first problem is DNS.
    Your router is not a DNS server. When you ask your router to resolve names it is going out to the DNS servers specified by you (or your ISP). So, unless it can find your domain out there on the internet, a client will not be able to resolve your server's name. You have to have a DNS server you can talk to that has a record of your server.
    So you need to:
    1. Setup DNS on the server
    2. Setup DNS on another machine/server
    Here is what I would recommend:
    1. Setup DNS on your Mini
    2. Add the IP of your Mini as the DNS server for your clients.
    3. Keep your Airport as the DHCP server
    Page 19 is assuming you have asked your ISP to add a DNS record for your domain. If you have not done that, nothing will be able to find your server.
    As far as dyndns, you could use them as a DNS server for external access. You setup an account, add your external IP for the address you setup with them and that is pretty much it. You can run the updater on your server which will track your IP and update it in the event you have a dynamic IP and it changes.

  • 10.4.11 update and remote window sizing

    Very odd problem has popped up this evening:
    I upgraded a user's G5 iMac from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11, everything seems fine except for using remote control software such as ARD 3.2.1 and Timbuktu 8.7.
    When I first attempted to log into the machine after the update using Timbuktu, the machine was responding extremely slow and I figured out why. The window was not sizing correctly. It was off by about 3 horizontal pixel lines. So whenever you moved the cursor, it had to redraw the screen over and over as it attempted to resize inside the window. I turned off fit to window and it did the same thing. Basically making the machine unusable in a remote setting. I updated to Timbuktu 8.7 from 8.6, but this did not fix the problem.
    So I used the ARD machine to log in remotely. Oddly, I had the exact same problem. The response time was much better and I could do a little more, but still it was sluggish as it shifted the desktop back and forth as it attempted to redraw the screen any time I shifted the mouse up or down.
    Has anyone else had any problems with using ARD and the 10.4.11 update? I am using ARD Admin 3.2 and client 3.2.1
    Thanks,
    G

    I did try one thing: I logged off and back in as the "remote" user - the user account I had setup when I installed ARD on all the machines. When I do that, it works fine. Log back in as the main user, screen does the wacky scaling thing. Are there any particular prefs or files that control this that reside in the user's folder?

  • Error 10810 when running applescript remotely

    So "final" product here. I'm no applescripter so my code is probably inefficient. As such I keep running into a -10810 error and from my googling and research I think it's a runaway process (or a few of them) created by this script. I run it through Casper remote. It's a compiled script for compatibility with Casper Remote. Running as a standalone app (or as a compiled script on the local desktop) it works just fine. It's only through Casper Remote that I get this error and only sometimes. The script works even when no one is logged in. Casper Remote runs as an admin and forces sudo when it needs to.
    Any ideas as to what might be causing the failure? The script fails very quickly when it does. It certainly does not get to the point where it gathers all apps on the computer.
    TIA!

    So AS can't get the physical size of the folder it finds. I think I know the reason though. The script lists the contents of the Work volume in this snippet:
    set workPath to "Work" --we are only looking for partition "Work"
              tell application "System Events"
                        if workPath is in (get the name of every disk) then -- list all partitions and check for "Work." If found, set folderList to the contents of Work
                                  set folderList to list folder workPath without invisibles
    else if
    ... stuff ...
    end if
    end tell
    Then later I have it doing this:
    else if aFolder does not contain "Users" then
                                  tell application "System Events"
                                                 set folderSize to (physical size of aFolder) div 1024
                                  end tell
                                  set totalSize to totalSize + folderSize
      write aFolder & " - " & CalcFolderSize(folderSize) & " " & KBMBGB(folderSize) & "
    and I get the following from the AS editor events pane:
    tell current application
      system info
      --> {AppleScript version:"2.1.2", AppleScript Studio version:"1.5.1", system version:"10.6.7", short user name:"acaldwell", long user name:"AC Andrew Caldwell (8318)", user ID:1.092545022E+9, user locale:"en_US", home directory:alias "Work:Users:acaldwell:", boot volume:"AG2025", computer name:"AG2025", host name:"ag2025.amgreetings.com", IPv4 address:"10.104.20.113", primary Ethernet address:"00:17:f2:07:ec:dc", CPU type:"Intel 80486", CPU speed:2660, physical memory:4096}

      set eof 47 to 0

      write "Folders on Work partition to be transfered

    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
      get name of every disk
      --> {"AG2025", "Work", "home", "net", "Public", "MacPackaging"}
      list folder "Work" without invisibles
      --> error number -10004
    end tell
    tell current application
      list folder "Work" without invisibles
      --> {"Page4 Folder", "PAGE4BUILDER", "Users", "zz_LastFolder"}
    Result:
    error "Can’t get physical size of \"Page4 Folder\"." number -1728 from «class phys» of "Page4 Folder"
    Now I tested the tell system event portion in another editor with this code
    set aFolder to path to home folder
    tell application "System Events"
              set folderSize to (physical size of aFolder) div 1024
    end tell
    and got the right result. So I think that I can't get the size because it is not showing the path to each of these items, just the name of them. Is there a way to set a variable to the path to each of the items it finds? I think then it'll get the sizes right....
    Thanks!

  • Project with 2 menus: Menu Remote does not return to last menu

    Blu-ray project.
    2 menu A and B, each listing the chapters in 2 timelines (1 and 2).
    Menu A and B are linked by buttons.
    Timeline 1 end action is timeline 2
    Project title button is set to menu A and main timeline is set to timeline 1
    Each timeline has Menu Remote set to Return to Last Menu
    In Encore preview, there is title button and a menu button (this seems to match my DVD player).  However, both buttons always bring me back to menu A, no matter where I starts.
    For example, I start with menu A, go to menu B and click on a link to play a chapter in timeline 2.  When I press menu button, I expect it to return to menu B.  But it goes to menu A.
    If I set timeline 2 Menu Remote to menu B, it does the trick.
    I don't remember doing this for DVD project.  Is this be design?
    Another thing confusing to me is the player.  I don't have a standalone player but I have both PowerDVD and TotalMedia.  Neither has both Title and Menu buttons.  TotalMedia has Disc Menu and PowerDVD has Menu.  Both has a title list 1-5 for this project which looks strange to me.  I still have a DVD player lying around and I can see the remote has both buttons.  Is this unique to Blu-ray and by design?
    Thanks

    I've made the change in Encore to set timeline 2's menu remote to link to menu B.  The preview in Encore works fine.
    However, once it's disc folder is created, Total Media remote button links back to menu A instead of B.  Same behavior in PowerDVD.
    Is this a bug in Encore?  Or am I missing some settings?
    I need to burn several discs this week.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • ITunes timeouts when connecting to remote speakers?

    When trying to connect to a remote set of speakers (Airport Express/Airtunes), iTunes times out. The set of speakers shows in the menu, iTunes attempts to connect for some time, and then "gives up" - there is no error message. Any suggestions?
    iTunes 7.0.2, Airport Express firmware 6.3.
    Thanks.

    At times, instead of the time out, I get the following error message:
    The remote speaker "Test" is not compatible with this version of iTunes
    This happens even though iTunes and the Airport Express are up to the latest versions, respectively.
    Thanks.
