Cant Get The Remote to Work

no matter what i do i cannot get my remote to work. i've done everything apple tells me to do but it doesn't work. i held menu and the next button for 5 seconds and it still doesnt work. ive even tried to hold menu and play/pause. nothing works.

Do you have access to another Mac with Front Row, or another Apple Remote? This will allow you to ascertain whether it's the remote, or the machine which has the issue.

Could you capture your screen and post it. Have the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expanded. We will need to see the entire screen, as some information in the tab is important as well.

My Creative Cam wont work properly in MSN Messenger! I cant get the effects to work PLEASE HELP!

When I open the webcam centre everything works fine I can get all the effects...BUT when I open messenger (MSN) I get a good picture but when I open the effects window I cant get the effects to work in there.... I went to the creative site which tells me I can use this cam ok in MSN Messenger....Please help before I pull my hair outThankyouBillie-Jean x

I had the exact same issue but finally after much reading found that the Advanced Video FX utility must be activated first, then open the Web Cam Center.
On the upper left side just above your image is a Device Selection box. You may not redily recognize it as such.. Click on the down arrow just to the left of the Format tab and select the "Creative WebCam(With Video Effects)". Now try the effects. This did the trick for me. Hope it works for you!

I've been able to trick my ipod into letting me in but I still cant get the touchscreen to work. I've reset it 10 times and I dont have a computer at my house so I am unable to connect it to see whats wrong do I just need to get a new ipod or what this is

I have been able to trick my ipod into letting me in but I still can't get the touchscreen to work this is extremely annoying and I was wondering if i should just get a new ipod or what?

You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I cant get the sound to work on my iphone 4 after i record a movie

after i record a short video i am unable to get the sound to work. what am i doing wrong?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.

Well .... there's zero useful information there. Absent any other information, I guess I could say go to Settings and turn Cellular ON.
Seriously, try writing things more like this:
I don't understand what you're saying. Please try the following if you'd like to save yourself and others a lot of time:
Describe what you are trying to do
Describe how you are trying to do it, in as much detail as you can.
Describe what you expect to see or have happen when you do it that way
Describe what you see or what happens instead of what you expected; include any error messages that appear.
Provide some idea of what you have already looked at or already tried doing to fix the problem, along with the results of those attempts.

T5400 I cant get the headphones to work on this system

I recently got this system for xmas. I actually have two issues....when i run a speaker test all speakers work, but when i am playing music, i use winamp, the center speaker does not work. I also can not get headphones to work either. Any tips?
Message Edited by QtLostInOz on 01-11-2005 07:57 PM

you need to go into winamp and go to the output plugins and I forget which one it is but you need to configure the output plugin to enable 5.1 music. When I get home I will check and give you the full where to go and what to do thing.

I cant get the homesharing to work on my PCs.

I have used this many times in the past and it has always worked fine. As far as I know the only thing that is diffrent is one of the PCs are running Windows 8 now. I have downloaded iTunes again, turned the home sharing off and back on also turned off the firewall nothing seems to make any difference. I had issues the first time i tried this and then was able to get it to work. It worked for a few days then it stopped working again. I am able to use it on the PC running Windows 7 but not on the one running Windows 8. Any suggestions... please?

Only Mid 2011 or newer Macs running OS X 10.8 (ML) can use AirPlay Mirroring.

Getting the remote layer working with a Tascam DM3200?

After talking with a very helpful Apple tech, it seems my Tascam DM3200's emulation of a Mackie Control in Logic Pro 9.1.7 was the source of the weird "unresponsive transport" problem on my system (I'm not saying that this is the source of EVERY version of this complaint... but if it's happening on your machine, I would defintely look at the control surfaces as a possible cause, because after deleting the control surface in Logic my system has run two back-to-back 10-hour days without the slightest hiccup).
So to get back to work, I just deleted the control surface in Logic. But this tech mentioned that he had a Tascam console himself and not only knew of the problem, he had seen somewhere on the web a method of tweaking the connection... either in the Tascam or, more likely, in Logic's set-up... that made the Tascam work perfectly. I think he said that using this method, you didn't run the Tascam as a Mackie emulator, but created your own profile so you could control Logic directly. (?)
He's an Apple guy, so couldn't take the time to direct me to third-party solutions, natch.
ANYBODY out there doing this / heard of this / know where to go looking? I foolishly sent an e-mail into the support guys at Tascam, but I have a mental image of their tech department being a bunch of cobwebbed skeletons sitting in front of TRS-80 screens.
Two things I already know:
1 Setting it up as in the Tascam instructions does not work. It SEEMS to work, but screws things up later.
2. A helpful guy on another forum showed me how to turn off "Key Repeat" in the Logic Mackie Control setup, which did get rid of one early problem. Doing that DOES NOT fix this "unresponsive transport" thing.
So, please don't link me to the Tascam Logic Setup PDF or tell me how to turn off the key repeat for Stop, Play and Record. Thanks for any help or direction you can provide.....

If you're connecting it to the AirPort base station's USB port, format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and follow these instructions. You may need a powered USB hub.

Libretto U100 - cant get the microphone to work

Hi
I have a microphone problem on laptop and also when using my recently purchased Philips SHM3100 Multimedia headset. I have tried to use the Windows Sound Recorder software but my voice is not recognised at all.
I have a Bluetooth Headset configure of which the sound and microphone works perfectly. Has anyone had the same problem, and found a solution?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards.

I am using :
Playback: SoundMax Digital Audio
Recording: SoundMax Digital Audio
I did a Sound Hardware Test and test result was:
Microphone test: "Cannot complete the Sound Harware test as your voice was not detected"
Under Voice Recording, "Advanced" is greyed out.
You mentioned:
"By the way; In the SoundMax control panel you should be sure that in the microphone setup the option called headset was selected and not standard mic!!!!"
Can you please explain?

I updated to 5.0 beta and the page on the screed is smaller than the previous version and I cant get the zoom to work to increase the text and pictures.

the text and pictures is very small or at leat much smaller than in the prior version and the zoom will not make it bigger.

Hi Idreier,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Hopefully this helps!

Can't get Apple Remote to work

Please help - I received my new Apple TV yesterday and have been trying to set up but cannot get the remote to work. Whatever I press there is no response from the status light. I have tried Menu and right for 6 secs to pair -> nothing. I've tried Menu and every direction for 6 secs -> nothing. I've changed the battery, restarted the Apple TV. There is no obstruction to the IR. I can only assume the remote is faulty. Any suggestions please?

Take it back and exchange it.
If the remote doesn't work out of the box new then either remote is faulty or AppleTV is faulty (eg IR sensor not located properly in the case).
Either way one of them isn't working, exchange it.

I have a problem with my wifes laptop that I havent been able 2 solve.
Her windows crashed and wouldnt start the marker in "DOS" just keept blinking and nothing happend I tried to restore to latest previous working windows , but that didnt help nor did the failsafe mode. So I took out the recovery CD/DVD and tried make a fresh installation the install setup worked fine until it asked me 2 take out the disc and restart the comp which I did.
When it rebooted the same problem appeared (blinking marker and nothing happens).
So what I did was I took out a normal windowes XP (SP2) and reinstalled eveverything ( I formated the drive also) and rebooted and it worked.
So then 2 my next challenge was 2 get all the hardware working all I got all working but the WLAN (built-in).
After I had installed everyting I saw my wireless network but next time I started the comp it was gone along with all other WLAN that I use to be albe 2 see. and when I refreash its still empty.
I have tried to inactivate it and then activate it again but it doenst help.
I also tried once more to use the Toshiba recevory disc but got the same problem.
So now Im back with my own windows Xp installed on it but I cant get the WLAN to work.
There isnt any hardware conflics.
So now I need your help on how 2 proceed.
tanks alot.
Regards,

Hello
About WLAN there is actually no philosophy and few things are important:
The WLAN card must be installed properly (properly listed in device manager) and
It must be also enabled. At first with WLAN switch (WLAN LED is ON) and then enable it using FN+F8 key combination.
After doing this WLAN card should see all available WLANs. To connect one of them is another theme.
To be honest I didnt understand what happen exactly. If I understand you right your notebook can see WLANs but after restart all available WLANs are not visible anymore. Am I right about that?
Have you tried to restart your WLAN router and scan the WLAN area again?
