CHECKED "Disable Remote Control Infrared Received" not working

Hi,
I have an iMac and an Apple TV in the same room. I want the remote for the AppleTV to stop controlling the iMac.
Yes, I have already checked the box in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced.
Yes I have clicked OK and closed the lock to prevent further changes.
But the remote STILL CONTROLS the iMac. Its annoying.
On another discussion forum, a user mentioned a file called "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleIRController.plist" which my computer in fact does not have. Does anyone know, with Mountain Lion 10.8.4, should I still have this file?
Any other ideas what might be causing this?
The remote works and is paired with the AppleTV. But its still changing the iMac.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks,
ponderosa_74

Sorry to ask, but did you Unpair the Remote when you disabled the IR receiver...?

Disable remote control IR receiver is not showing up in system pref.

My remote for my iMac is not working. I originally thought it neeeded a new battery but that was not it. I had a power outage the other night and since then have been noticing the problem.
The apple support says;
'To turn on IR reception:
Open System Preferences and click Security.
Deselect "Disable remote control infrared receiver.'
When I go to system preferences and then security, the option to 'disable remote control infrared receiver' does not show up.
Yesterday I restarted and the option came back, this morning after turning my computer on it wasn't there again. Any idea how to resolve this problem for good?
Thank you
Dan

The next time you notice the line gone from the System Preferences, open up your System Profiler (from the /Applications/Utillities/ folder) and check to see if the "IR Receiver" is listed under the USB section in Hardware.
If it doesn't appear there, then perhaps you're having some kind of failure of your receiver? If it does appear there, then it would seem more likely that you're having some kind of preference file or setting problem.

Infrared receiver not working

Can anyone suggest why the infrared facility on my MBP doesn't work? I have already made sure the disable remote control infrared receiver box in security prefs is unchecked and I have the message "This computer will work with any available remote". But it doesn't. The remote itself works on my other macbook and on MBPs at work so I don't think the problem is there. I put a new battery in the remote just to be sure and it still doesn't control the computer I want it to.
Is there any other fix I can try or is it an Apple repair job? Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

In my case the situation is:
- System is up-to-date (10.4.9)
- There's no option to disable infrared in the "Security" preferences pane.
- Front Row doesn't even install (it doesn't pass the pre-requisites tests: os version and infrared receiver).
- Remote's battery is fine since I can see it blinkin in the camera.
- IR Receiver doesn't show up in System Profiler
- Reseting PRAM didn't work
- Apple hardware test (that comes with the installation discs) detects an infrared receiver but it doesn't have an mac address - don't know if it's supposed to - and says everything is alright.
- kext AppleIRdont_remember_therest doesn't automaticly load on boot. Loaded it manualy and it loaded ok but without any improvements on my problem.
Can anybody help?.....please?

Infrared Receiver not working on mountain lion 10.8.2.

I found that just after i updated my OS to its new version the remote control stopped working. Is it a way to get it back again? (i checked on systems preferences but the option for this disappeared) I have a Macbook Pro and it worked before so the ir receiver must be on the hardware but disabled somehow from the software. I very much appriciate if someone please could help me solvinf this issue. Thank you so much in advance for the help guys!

Try deleting RBIOKitHelper.kext stored in system/library/extensions. It's associated with Remote Buddy. If it's old, it should be deleted. In any event, it's not needed to enable Remote Buddy Express to work.
Candelair does work well though if that's what you prefer.

MBP IR Receiver Not Working

Howdy,
I have a 2009 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8
I am trying to use an Apple Remote with my iTunes. My computer is non responsive to my Apple Remote. I know the Apple Remote works because I have used it on another computer. In my system settings/security/general I have "Disable remote control infrared receiver" UNCHECKED and the computer is currently Unpaired to another remote. In my system profiler I can see my IR Receiver under USB. I cannot pair my remote to the computer and I have tried multiple button combinations.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there something wrong with my IR Receiver? Is there a way to test my IR Receiver?
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.
-Alan

I have tried everything, pairing, unpairing, the remote control works fine on the iMac but my Macbook just wont respond, Front Row works fine using +esc.
Maybe there is a command line using terminal to activate it, as I said before, the ir receiver is shown on system profiler-hardware-USB list.
Thanks again.

Getting remote control 438483-001 to work in Win7

I have recently upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 premium (clean install).
Now my remote control which came with my dv9770ea laptop (P/N 438483-001) does not work. Batteries checked, the remote's green light flashes when pushing a button, AND when using Windows Media Centre the image/sound stalls for a split second when pushing some of the buttons. The card remote RC1762302/00 that also came with the laptop does work without problems. Hence I am confused. Apparently the infrared receiver does work for the above two reasons. However I'd like to use the remote and expect I need a driver update for it.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

HT1212 my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

Thgen the iPod needs a wifi connection to the internet and yo need another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FindMyiPhone app. you can also yse any computer too
Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Via USB with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

CONTROL - ARROW shortcut not working

hi guys
i NEED serious help here. After upgrading to 10.6.8 on my macbook, i realised that the control-arrow and control-number key to switch spaces are not working at all!!
i have googled on the same issue and many have said to check back the system preferences and i have checked and they are all in the correct settings. By switching to comman-arrow, my spaces does change but i am using command and option as other shortcuts. May i know has anyone know of a solution?
I have also restarted my macbook 3 times.

yes I have selected the Tracks...
Control + Shift K it dose work, it cuts the movie and the music
But Control K alone is not working
Simon
EDIT:
OK, This was my mistake. I was Dragging the movie into Video 3, and the Audio into Video 3 Accidentally.
I noticed once the Video and The Audio are Both In the Video 1, And Audio 1 in the Timeline. Then Control "K" dose Works...
But if the video is inside Video 3 and The Audio is inside Audio 3 in the Timeline, Then Control K is not working. Only Control shift K works
Am I Correct ?

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

Quit all applications.
Open Finder- Click the left most icon on the Dock.
Holding option key click the Go menu from the menu bar.
Select Library and then Preference folder.
Select apple.com.dashboard.plist and move it to trash.

Control-clicking does not work in Finder

Ever since installing the 10.4.5 update, control-clicking does not work in Finder. When I try to do it, Finder automatically restarts itself. This happens in any Finder window and on the desktop itself. Whether I am control-clicking an Application icon or trying to 'Get Info' on a file, Finder restarts itself. I repaired permissions and it did not fix the problem.
Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks a lot!
David
Edit: Nevermind. I fixed it by deleting the JIMZip.plugin file in my Contexual Menu folder. I found the answer in another thread. I apologize for searching after I created this thread.

David,
Can you identify any corrupted or incompatible files in either your Macintosh HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items folder, or your Macintosh HD/Users/yourhomefolder/Library/Contextual Menu Items folder?
If so you may be able to uninstall/reinstall the associated application.
You may also consider temporary manual removal and isolation of the suspect file to verify CM functionality.

Hi,
not with this little information
- which technology
- which browser version (if applicable)
- how to reproduce
- does it reproduce on other machines / browsers
Frank

Tab and control buttons do not work in Firefox (they work in other browsers) AND I switched to a new keyboard.

The tab and control buttons are not working the Firefox browser (My browser is up-to-date). The buttons work in IE and Chrome, however, before I realized that, I even switched out my keyboard to a brand new one hoping it would solve the issue.

Thank you--there were a few random extensions I had not added (spyware, maybe?). Once I removed those the issue was fixed!
