Apple remote wont do anything

i have already tried to re-pair it, several times, with no success. i looked at the IR lights through my iSight camera, and the lights were blinking. do i have to replace the battery or is it worse? thanks for any future help!

Hi sceptile2390
Go to: *System Preferences / Security / General* and make sure the box for *Disable remote control infrared receiver* is unchecked.
Open iTunes and see if the Remote will control the volume and advance the track!
Sometimes Front Row just needs a jump start! Press the ⌘ esc keys at the same time to activate Front Row, then see if your remote will now work!

    Not via the Mac. I just hooked up a TV to mine via HDMI and it shows the It comes up with the volume logo on the screen with a line through it, when I select audio output via HDMI. If you select another audio output like internal speaker yo can change volume.

    nb. i havent updated it for a while to its running a 3. something software.

    Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes, then restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons until you see the Apple logo. If that don't fix you problem take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Why does my ipod only show an apple and wont start up

    Why does my Ipod only show an apple and wont do anything else>  And holding down the two buttons has done nothing!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Whilst the remote app can be used once the Apple TV has been set up, you still need the original remote to set it up first.

  • HT1414 I "Erased all content and settings" and now my itunes does not recognize my iphoe when i plug it in. Plus my iphone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did i do?

    I "Erased all content and settings" and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in. Plus my iPhone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did I do? How do I get my phone to work again?    

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

  • Apple Remote and Mac mini wont pair

    My remote works fine with Mac mini and Plex and Sofa Control. But I am unable to pair them. The settings are right and when I press Menu + Fwd nothing happens, no Pairing icon on the screen.
    The situation is a frustration since I have an Apple TV besides connected to a second Apple Remote. Since my Mac mini wont pair, the Apple TV remote controls them both.
    Does anyone had a similar problem and found a sollution?

    Does it pair if the ATV remote is disabled?

    Hi
    I've just reset my iPhone 4s as I was planning to sell it on. After the normal stuff you see on a reset I've been left with a phone that just has the apple logo on the black screen and it appears to be frozen and wont do anything?? any ideas?
    I've tried holding down top button and round button which makes it go off but as soon as you push top button again it comes back and again its frozen.
    Thanks for any ideas in advance?

  • Apple remote app not finding anything

    My Apple TV just updated its software. Home sharing is on.
    iTunes home sharing is on too.
    When I open apple remote app on iPhone 5, nothing is showing up.
    I turn off home sharing, then turn it on and sign in remote app.
    Still Apple TV or iTunes library not showing in remote app.
    I turn off wifi on iPhone, then back on.
    Then they how up.
    If I restart Apple TV and iTunes, they disappear from remote, and then I have to turn off/on wifi again.
    Is this how it's supposed to work now?!
    Or is something wrong?!
    Thanks.

    The separate wireless router that Virgin supplied is connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet and is broadcasting an 802.11g only signal and acting as an ethernet hub for a few devices.
    You didn't mention it, so I just wanted to be sure ... is this separate wireless router configured as a bridge? If so, can devices, connected to it, "see" network clients connected to the TC ... without using VNC?
