Apple Remote won't work with Logic

I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

  • Apple Remote won't work with Non-admin account :-(

    Hi all,
    i have a Macbook (OS version 10.5.4). Earlier there was only one account on this laptop, and i was using it as an administrator. A few days ago i decided to convert that account to a regular (non-admin) one, and created a separate admin-only account. When i tried using my Apple Remote in the non-admin account, it wouldn't work at all ! So i tried it in the admin account, and i was able to use it and paired it with this macbook.
    But on logging back into the regular account, it has stopped working again (even though System Preferences>Security says the macbook is paired with a remote). Please help!! It would be especially helpful if this could be fixed without having to create & migrate to a whole new account, etc... i'm open to command-line solutions [ that won't crash the machine ]
    Thanks a million !
    ..meghana

    Never mind. i logged out of the non-admin account and into the admin account, unpaired and re-paired the remote. Then logged back into the non-admin account, and voilà! Its magic i tell you! hope this helps any other people who have the same problem.

  • Apple remote won't work with Keynote + "not enough RAM" error

    Of course it works with Keynote 6.0 ('13), but not Keynote 5.3. It also works with iTunes and volume during Keynot '13 but will not advance the slide/animation.
    Anyone else have the same problem?
    Also, ever since Mavericks update, sometimes my Keynotes will not play due to an error that says I have insufficient RAM. Even if I close all other apps. Sometimes when I quit the app and restart it, it will work?
    Anyone else? Fixes?

    Solution: Deleted Keynote '13 and the remote works with '09 again.
    Hmmm...
    We'll see if the "not enough RAM" error pops up anymore.

  • Apple remote is not working with Logic Pro 8

    Hi all
    Anyone any idea why, it would really help me as I need to remotely activate the record button. Many thanks Dave

    My guess: it is simply not compatible with 10.6.8 (which was released well after Logic Pro 8)

  • Multiple Apple Remotes no longer work with Apple TV!

    I've been using Apple TVs since the minute Steve Jobs introduced them in 2007. I bought the 2nd and 3rd Generation Apple TVs the minute each of them were introduced. I've been watching every Apple Keynote Address since they were available online or on CDs from the early 1990s, on my HDTV via my latest Apple TV when that was possible. I watch far more TV through my Apple TV than via my Cable Box, much of it music and music videos from iTunes on my 2006 Mac Pro! But as of YESTERDAY I am seriously thinking of getting another, ANY OTHER manufacturer's similar internet streaming box!!!
    WHY??? Because YESTERDAY, for no apparent reason except some programmer's or software engineer's stupidity, my Apple TV stopped working with all but ONE of my Apple REMOTES!!!
    Why is that stupid? Because, in my household there are three people who use Apple TV all day, and each of them have an aluminum Apple Remote which they all use to control what the Apple TV is streaming. We have two other Apple Remotes lying around in case one of us misplaces his or her Apple Remote, which happens occasionally. ALL FIVE of the Apple Remotes, just like the beige plastic Apple Remotes that they replaced, always worked with all three of my Apple TVs! Then yesterday, suddenly, only the LAST Apple Remote that was paired with this 3rd Generation Apple TV is able to control it.
    I've spent HOURS trying to fix this. This wasn't caused by an Automatic Update to the Apple TV's iOS; there has been no update in recent days. I've got Automatic Update turned on, just as I, a good Apple citizen, have my Apple TV set up to automatically send back Usage Data to Apple. I've rebooted my Apple TV. I've put brand new 2032 button batteries into my Apple Remotes. I pulled the power cord out of my Apple TV for 15 seconds and again for five minutes and then restarted it. As per instructions, I have Unpaired and re-Paired each and all of my 5 Apple Remotes. All to no avail. Only the last Apple Remote that was paired with the Apple TV works! Horrible. And STUPID, if it was a deliberate programming decision and it was introduced in a minor automatic update.
    Worse, I've been using the Remote app on my 5th Generation iPod touch to replace ONE of the unusable Apple Remotes, and as of a couple of minutes ago even THAT stopped working with my Apple TV! Well, I was able to fix that fairly easily by pairing the iPod touch Remote app with my Mac Pro and then pairing it again with my Apple TV. But I don't think that solution would be so easy for many non-technologically-inclined users. I also don't think that a $200 or $300 iPod touch is a very acceptable replacement for a $20 Apple Remote, especially since everyone buys iPod touches for totally different uses (I use mine primarily for taking notes using voice-activated audio or video -- it is by far the best device for that purpose out there -- police departments should take note).
    I'm hoping that this multiple Apple Remote problem somehow resolves itself, unless it is a hardware problem with my Apple TV. If so, I can hold out until Apple's media event next week, which I HOPE will premiere a new 4th Generation Apple TV, hopefully which will once again allow my five Apple Remotes to all control my Apple TV interdependently, without having to Unpair and Pair each one each time you wanted to use it, requiring you to quit whichever Apple TV app you were using each time, or alternatively to use Sneaker-Net to deliver the one working Apple Remote to each person who wants to use it, which can be difficult since at least one of the users is very ill! (Whew! A long sentence. But I hope you get the point.)
    Two days ago, I could never have imagined myself getting a Roku or an Amazon, Sony, Microsoft or some other streaming device. It just proves how fast a stupid little decision (if it was deliberate) can turn EVERYTHING around!

    People have a misconception with remote pairing (as does the description on this page -> Pairing your Apple Remote with your computer - Apple Support).
    The 1st paragraph is incorrect.
    The 2nd paragraph is correct.
    "If you have several Mac computers or an Apple TV that use the Apple remote, or other devices with integrated infrared ("IR") receivers in one room, you can "pair" your Apple Remote with a specific Apple device so it doesn't interfere with other Apple devices or IR devices nearby.
    Pairing allows you to set the receiving Apple device so that only it can be controlled by one remote. Learn how to pair your Apple Remote"
    Pairing sets the device to read only a specific remote.
    It does not set a specific remote to work only with a specific device. ie. if you point th remote at another Apple device (that is not paired) it will control it.

  • Apple remote contra not working with Lion

    I installed Lion and my littele apple remote control does not work anymore with my mac book pro.
    Is there any solution for that?
    Thanks

    It's not working for me either.
    I know that Lion doesn't include Front Row, but the remote is not working with any other application (ex. iTunes).
    Please somebody help us!

  • Rewire won't work with Logic + Reason

    I started a project with Logic + Reason and everything was working fine. But then one day it stopped working.
    1. It'll work without Rewire (just a mixer in Reason)
    2. The Aux channels on the Logic mixer don't indicate any levels.
    3. The level indicators on the Hardware Device in Reason aren't indicating any signal
    4. Rewire DID work one day after it wasn't working but now it isn't again.
    5. I've tried restarting my computer and even changing my audio device to "Built-In Audio"
    Why won't rewire work?
    Message was edited by: RyConn M.D.

    I have been having this same problem. One time Rewire will work and the next try it won't. I found that Logic will not see the Rewire channels when you go to add an Aux channel in the mixer screen. If you see the Rewire channels in this section, then Rewire will work. If not then Rewire will not see Reason and it will not function. It just started happening for me this last week or so. I wonder if Apple made some sort of change that is causing this problem. I never had a problem with Reason before this last week or so. It was always a really solid program interface before this. I am getting frustrated. I have reloaded Reason and Logic with no change. AI deleted the rewire files in the library. It may then function once and then it goes bad again. Can anyone Help Us?

  • Waves 9 won't work with logic pro x

    I downloaded waves v9 but it still won't show up on my Logic Pro.  It is a 64 bit polgin

    If... you have updated to the latest version of Waves 9
    and...
    You have correctly installed/activated/validated them using the Waves License Center and the Waves AU Reg Utility (That you must run after installing the updates..)  then they work pretty good with Logic.  I know.. I use them on a daily basis... No magic... no special tricks...
    The Waves plugins themselves still have a few bugs in them which is why Waves keeps updating them..(There have been several updates to Waves 9 since release across all platforms and not just OS X...)  but it isn't anything to do with Logic... Its programming bugs in the Waves plugins themselves that cause the remaining issues..
    So.. if you cannot get them to work properly, contact Waves support for assistance...
    https://www.waves.com/login?ReturnUrl=%2fcontact-support
    There is little if anything,  anyone here.. or at Apple.. that can do to help you.. and to think its a Logic Pro problem... is just misleading yourself and wasting your own time...

  • My Apple Remote no longer works with Powerpoint 2008

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can no longer control Powerpoint 2008 with my apple remote!
    iTunes still works fine play pause volume etc...
    I have also tried iRed Lite, but this also does not work.
    Do I now have a nice slim aluminium paperweight?

    I'm experiencing the same problem!

  • Apple Remote no longer works with VLC

    Has anyone else come across this problem? Since upgrading to Leopard (Fresh Install) VLC 0.8.6c can no longer be controlled by the Apple Remote. Is this just another example of Apple (un)intentionally removing a feature?

    Seems Videolan.org were aware there might be a problem with this:
    http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=41503
    The remote works fine in Quicktime Player I note.

  • Apple remote no longer works with mountain lion

    The apple remote that was quite happily working with Lion no longer seems to be working with mountain lion.
    I've checked with at least 3 other apple remotes I have and none of them seem to want to pair.
    I've been able to pair them with another mac running Lion, but when going to the pair option under;
    Preferences--> Security& Privacy --> General --> Advanced -> Pair
    Pressing the menu and next for more than a minute gives me nothing on any of the remotes.
    Anyone else having issues pairing with mountain lion?
    *Note, each of the remotes quite happily will

    I thought I had a problem pairing my aluminium Apple remote with EyeTV, but all turned out fine.
    When I clicked Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General --> Advanced --> Pair a message told to press the "Menu and Next" buttons until the remote paired with the computer. At first, I assumed this meant that I should press the two black buttons underneath the main, circular control, but nothing happened.
    Then it struck me that the "Next" button might mean the right arrow on the main, circular control, so I held down this while holding the Menu button (the smaller button, below and to the left of the main, circular control), and the remote paired within a few seconds!
    I don't have one of the older, white Apple remote controls to test this idea with, but something similar may also work with that remote.

  • Apple remote doesn't work with 2011 Mac Mini

    Purchased today, 8/17/2011, from Apple store new Mac Mini with Apple remote.  Sucessfully paired the remote in "Security & Privacy" area, the "Disable remote" box is NOT checked. 
    When I press the menu button nothing happens. If I start a show in iTunes the "play/pause" buttons work but nothing else. Front Row doesn't show up anywhere. Apple rep said remote worked w/new Mini just like it does with all Mac's. 
    Anyone heard why it doesn't? Is this a Lion issue that Apple will remedy. Total deal killer for me, as we prefer to use the remote when watching shows
    Very disappointed today

    There's no FrontRow with Lion it's been discontinued ...
    There's some possible work-arounds here:

  • Apple Remote Now Not Working With MacPro

    I've a MacPro (Late 2007) and it came with an Apple Remote.
    I've used it quite frequently with this computer, but haven't used it for a couple of months. I recently needed to start using it once again but the computer no longer responds to the remote!
    I've checked the remote and it still works perfectly with my MacBook Pro, and the battery is fine.
    I've gone onto the Apple website and the support says to check in the Security plane that the infrared is not disabled - but this no longer appears there! It used to be there, but now it has disappeared!!
    Was this due to one of the updates?
    HELP! I need to be able to use the IR Remote once again with this computer!!

    Sorry, but are you sure you're referring to the correct Mac, the minitower-case Mac Pro? There is no Mac Pro model identified as "Late 2007" - there were the first Mac Pro model introduced in August of 2006, though you might have purchased yours in late 2007. The next revision was in early 2008.
    Nor, to the best of my knowledge, has any Mac Pro included an infrared port nor come with an Apple Remote.
    So please confirm that you are indeed talking about the minitower Mac Pro and not an iMac, Mac mini, MacBook or MacBook Pro, all of which did come with infrared ports.
    Regards.

  • Novation Remote 25SL Not Working with Logic Pro (Logic Automap)

    Hi,
    I can't seem to get my new Novation Remote 25 SL to work in Logic Automap mode.
    I have the Remote SL in Logic AutoMap (template #39). When I launch Logic Pro 7, The Remote SL shows : "Logic AutoMap" on the Left LCD display, and nothing else happens, it seems to be frozen at this state. The Up/Down arrows on the Left side don't change anything.
    Any clues why this is happening ?
    I have read many posts on this and other forums of user issues in setting the Remote up properly, and have it work in Logic Automode. Tried many configurations, and settings, re-installed sw, OS 1.0.13, but no luck so far.
    I would like to hear from Logic Pro 7 users who have successfully setup their Remote SL with Logic Pro 7.2.1 in Logic Automode, and are working with this system without any issues.
    This will be very helpful in figuring out if there is something wrong in my settings, or if the unit itself is defective, or I am doing something wrong during the installation of the software ? I have been trying to get this thing to work for the past two days, with no success so far.
    The Remote SL should be a wonderful controller for Logic Pro 7 (once it works !) so, I'm being as patient as I can with this thing.
    I'm using Logic pro 7.2.1 on a Mac G5 2.5 Quad, Mac OSX 10.4.6
    Thanks.

    Hi Blaze,
    I tried your settings, but no change, the Remote SL is still frozen showing :
    "Logic Automap" on the left LCD .
    You mention setting "Mixer View 64" well the parameter I see is called :
    "Mixer View Fader" which I guess is the same one you are referring to. I set it to 64, it was set to 8, but has not changed anything. Still having the same problem. This problem is dragging into Day 3, what a bummer.
    Thanks.

  • XBR55X850B remote won't work with Xfinity cable box.

    The channels are listed in the cable guide tab (pictures of the listing too), but when I select the channel nothing happens.  Tried the IR blaster cable, still the same.  Xfinity cable box model # XG1-A.  Please help.

    Does your cable box work when using the remote that came with the cable box? If it does not you have a problem with the box. If it does you might need to reposition the IR blaster making sure it is slightly infront of the box or run the setup on the TV again where you put in your zip code and the cable company you use.
