Cant Stop ATV Remote Activating Front Row Despite Unpairing

I thought i had this cracked, but apparently not. Whenever i use my Apple TV2 remote it activates Front Row on my MacBook Pro which has my external Itunes library connected to it.
I did un-pair the ATV2 remote via its settings, and also in iTunes devices asked it to "forget all remotes", but still the problem remains, and its driving me absolutely nuts!
Itunes insists no remotes are paired with it, despite the fact both ATV2 remote and the White Remote that came with the MacBook Pro still activates Front Row?
Has anyone else had this problem, and have they resolved it?
Thanks

this does not work in my experience,pairing a remote implies to me that only that remote will work with that device ,but when i pull out another apple remote it will also work with my mac mini it sees them both as the same and so does my apple tv , there is no way to fix this as far as i can tell. i use remote buddy to make better use of my mac mini and i have to turn my apple tv around so it wont pick up the signal and when i wont to use my apple tv i have to get up and turn it around so it can pick up the signal and i have to block the eye on the mini .the mac mini should offer the same UI as the apple tv or a better one in my opionon that way i would not need the apple tv in the same room. is there a bluetooth remote out there?

Infrared Remote not working unless held very close to AppleTV

I'm not sure if there is a problem with the remote or AppleTV. The remote only works if held approx. 8 inches away from the AppleTV. The remote works fine with the computer and will control the Mac from the other side of the room. I was expecting the remote to work from at least a few feet away from the AppleTV. It seems pointless having a remote if you have to get up and hold it next to the AppleTV to make it work. The remote App on my iphone works fine anywhere in the room but I would still like the infrared remote to work. Has anyone had any issues similar and is there something I can do to fix this ?

same for me. sometimes the remote doesn't work unless it's very close to ATV2, but it also appens that it stops working even when it's close. the only way to control ATV2 when it happens is to use the remote app on my iphone. strange, very strange. and it happens from day one. setting up the system with the supplied remote was a real pain in the ...

Infrared remote no longer working

I have a mid 2007 MacBook Pro (3,1) (A1226). The infrared remote used to work, but no longer does. I was hoping for some troubleshooting input.
I've researched a bit and at this point, I'm thinking it's a hardware failure and I need to replace some hardware -- I suspect either the IR Receiver and/or the cable that connects the IR Receiver to the logic board.
As a bit of history, shortly before I noticed that the IR stopped working, my MacBook Pro was in AppleCare (twice) getting its hard drive replaced, and of course the hard drive sits directly below the cables that connect the IR receiver. So, something could have been damaged during repair. (Unfortunately, I didn't realizethat the IR stopped working until after my Apple Care expired. I did bring the Mac back to the Apple store and they confirmed the IR Recevier no longer worked, but they said it was no longer covered.)
Anyway, below are some troubleshooting facts. I'd appreciate any advice on which is the likely hardware part requiring replacement (or advice on a software solution which I might have overlooked):
1) I see the USB IR Remote device listed in System Profiler
2) I see the infrared options in System Preferences|Security
3) the system is not "paired" with a specific remote
4) my infrared remote works fine with a friend's iMac, but not my MacBook Pro
5) I can confirm remote infrared activity looking at it in iSight
6) I have tried different batteries in the remote
7) Front Row works fine via Option-Esc, but not via Remote Menu button. Likewise iTunes doesn't respond to remote commands anymore.
8) the remote likewise doesn't work on a cleanly installed OS X
9) the remote doesn't work at system startup (holding 'menu') to select the boot device
10) I have reset my Mac's PRAM
11) I have installed the Candleair driver, and run its diagnostics, etc.
My twice replaced hard drive has started 'ticking' again so I am going to go into the machine to replace it with a 3rd party drive. It'd be nice to fix the IR while I have it open, and nicer still to only have to buy and replace the IR parts actually needed.

Do you think that the cable is disconnected? Would the IR Receiver show up in System Profiler if so?
I'm thinking instead that perhaps a cable got only partially damaged, so that the device is detected but doesn't successfully pass data.
Another fact is that the sleep light still works, which is something that also connects to cable that connects (along with the hard drive) the IR Receiver to the logic board. So, if it's damage to the cable that connects stuff to the logic board (rather than the cable on the IR Receiver itself), it's not enough damage to knock out the sleep light.
I did bring it back to the Apple Store and they opened it up again and confirmed the IR Receiver wasn't working, but they didn't want to fix it since it was 120 days after the initial repair (which is only warranted for 90 days).
I guess I'm wondering what's more likely:
1) damaged connecting cable
2) burned out/damaged IR Receiver
3) both
I guess the cost of replacing every relevant part is less than the hassle of disassembling the laptop multiple times, but if some facts of the problem point definitivly to only one part, I'd prefer to only replace what's needed.

Cant see my airplay icon, cant use my remote app on either of my devices

Hi
I have the gen 3 apple TV and somehow i can no longer airplay, from my mac book pro, ipad, ipad mini or iphone. It used to work on all of my devices and now I cant see the icon.
When I open my remote app it tells me that I have to turn on Home sharing on my itunes or apple tv. It is turned on, on all of my devices.
I have been trying to trouble shoot this issue (all of my devices have the latest updates) and I still cant use my remote or air play
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I was able to fix the issue by unpluging the apple tv, router, and modem all for about 2-3 minutes and then replugging them in

I cant find facetime icon in my mac

i cant find facetime icon in my mac ! wen i try to download facetime for mac app from mac appstore. it says your Mac OS is too new !
Pls help

Okay, here ya go, deggie. I appreciate the fact that you conducted the independent experiment. As for the problem, I wish this was a concoction of my imagination.
My AEX hangs on the wall in my living room; it has a single connection to an amplifier, nothing more. The device is running 7.4.2 firmware, attaches to my network via a cisco Aironet 1242 802.11g radio, and obtains an IP address from the DHCP server on my cisco PIX 501 firewall. The AEX is set to "join a wireless network," uses a 128-bit WEP key, has AirTunes enabled with a friendly name of "Living Room" with no password. All three devices in question (AEX, iTunes PC, and iPad) are on a flat Layer2 network - though the PC is connected through a Polycom SoundPoint IP phone. There are no range issues between the AP and AEX.
When the iPad kills the connection between iTunes and the AEX, iTunes simply stops playing, and the device name becomes grayed.

How can someone access my computer with an "Infrared Remote?"

Can someone please explain to me how someone can access my Mac Book Pro by using an Infrared Remote? What is an Infrared Remote device and how does it operate?
Thank you,
KayeKaye07

It only works if you have a little circle on the front of your MacBook Pro that is the infrared remote receiver. This was on the MacBook Pros of a few years ago. Recent Macs no longer have an infrared receiver, so infrared remotes like the Apple Remote cannot control them.
The Apple Remote which used to be included with MacBooks was intended for uses like letting you control DVD playback or presentations from a distance. I guess Apple decided it was no longer needed after they removed their FrontRow media player, and after people started controlling their presentations with their phones, or even playing back their presentations directly from their phones.

Lenovo AIO C440 - not working infrared remote control

Hello,
is there any hint how to get infrared remote control working for a new C440 model? Tomorrow I will try to measure and/or replace batteries which could be bad. For now it is totally not working.
Another question: the remote should work only within AverMedia TV app or in the whole Windows 8?
Regards,
Zdenek

hi bohdik,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
The IR Windows Media Center remote control is for use with C440 models with optional TV tuner. If you have this model, make sure the TV Tuner driver and the ITE CIR Driver from the lenovo support site are installed under Device Manager (press Windows Key+R then type devmgmt.msc) then follow the Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. guide.
Note:
You must have Windows 8 PRO to enable Windows Media Center
See this articles in reference:
How to add Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro
How To Install And Set Up Media Center On Windows 8

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.

Apple infrared remote not working

Just a few days ago I updated Keynote, my time scale is a little hazy but I know recently, like last week, I used my appl infrared remote to control Keynote. I was able to press play and advance slides. This was a great thing, I remember doing and thinking wow apple is great. Now it doesn't work. I can turn the volume up but playing or advancing the slides does nothing. It sure seems like the last update removed this feature.
Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks,
Kris

Hi Kris,
If you are having an issue with your Apple Remote not working with your Keynote presentations, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Troubleshooting the Apple Remote - Apple Support
Start with the section titled If you're using the remote with a computer.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.
