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.

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.

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...

Is it there?

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.

My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

I have a brand new iMac 27" with mountain lion, and Doesn't work with my aluminium remote control, I already follow the steps on Help, but there's no IR option on the advanced button of security and privacy. Of course I already check with my iphone dock and the batteries are OK, So I think it's a bug from the OS.
Any thougths?

Thanks mende1.

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).

Apple Remote App Doesn't Work

So I cannot figure this out. For some reason when I use the Remote app it doesn't work right. In iTunes it does not come up under the devices tab. I have tried both with and without my iPod connected and for some reason it just isn't working for me. I would really appreciate soem help because this app seems awesome to me.

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"

Apple Remote Desktop doesn't work on outside connections

I use Remote Desktop to control computers at another location from my computer at home (cable modem. This worked fine with my old (non Apple) router. I have upgraded to the dual band Airport Extreme and now Remote Desktop tells me that computers are offline (when they aren't)
How do I get Remote Desktop working? The Airport Extreme is not in double nat-mode.

Let's double-check your port mapping settings for ARD:
To setup port mapping on an DB 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): 3283
o Public TCP Port(s): 3283
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
o Private UDP Port(s): 3283
o Private TCP Port(s): 3283
o Click "Continue"
o Click the "+" (Add) button

Apple Remote Control and Plex

Yesterday, I installed Plex to see if I would enjoy it as much as Front Row, which I use constantly. I haven't upgraded to Lion because I don't want to lose Front Row. Now, as a result, my Apple Remote control no longer works. I uninstalled Plex, but the remote still won't work. Any suggestions?

You might want to remove CleanMyMac. It has caused problems for many people by deleting files which ruined their OS.

OS X Lion and Apple remote control problem

After installing OS X Lion my apple remote control no longer works properly. The menu wont come up on the screen, but it plays music if you press the buttons, but you are riding blind, can anyone help on this one?

It's not a problem with the remote, the problem is that Lion no longer has FrontRow.

Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you updated to the latest version of the Remote App.

Apple remote control

I bought the apple remote control for my mac, but it's not working. I checked the systems preferences to enable the IR, but that option wasn't there. I read that some macs don't have infrared option which is needed to use the control. The remote was advertised to work with macs - am I missing something???

The 2012 and 2013 iMacs do not have an IR receiver.
The 2011 iMacs were the last iMacs to have a built in IR receiver and IR remote control.
If you own an iDevice, there are apps that work either over WiFi or Bluetooth to control your iMac.
For another type of WiFi hardware device, look at these.

Apple remote control and PB 17"

I have my laptop hooked up to my TV. I play quicktime and others video media though it to my TV. The Laptop is far from where i sit so to Fast Forward or pause or anything I have to get up and control it from the Laptop.
Is there a way to get the apple remote control to work with the PB 17" sonce it doesnt have a remote sensor like the new macbook pros do? Or any type of remote control or way to do this?
I want to be able to control the media from about 20 feet away (Lazy I know but in theis day and age... )
Thanks,
Joe

Keyspan makes several remotes:

As for Front Row compatibility, I don't think that's there, because it would have to break the license from Mac OS X. Equinux makes a nice software like Front Row called MediaCentral:
