Creative labs platinum - remote not work

hi i got an old creative platinum sound card, with the white front bay.i have installed all of the software, but have no luck in getting the remote control to work. I have the power connector, connected to the box, and the ide cable connected to the sound card from the box, installed the latest software but still no joy
Any suggestions?

Thanks! What a cool way to test IR remotes. It turns out that the remote was not working, as I suspected. I tested other remotes (TV, DVD) and I could see pink flashes on my digital camera LCD screen. So I removed the battery, played with the contacts inside, put the battery back in and the remote started working. Now everything works! I suspect that due to cheap construction the battery was not making proper contact with the contacts inside.
This is something that Creative should put in their FAQ since I suspect this is a fairly common problem.

SB AUDIGY 2 ZS PLATINUM - REMOTE NOT WORK

I've installed the SB 2 ZS Platinum into my new system and everything is working correctly except for the remote. I've removed the plastic strip from the battery compartment but when a button is pressed nothing seems to happen. I would expect to see a light on the front of the remote illuminate but it does not. Perhaps there is no light that illuminates when a button is pressed!!!! I would at least expect the volume controls to have an effect on the volume. Nothing happens. I have power to the face plate and the headphone jack and volume control do work. The IEEE 394 port is also working. Any suggestions?

OK, let's see, you have a device that is still under warranty. You properly installed said device. You put batteries in the remote but it does not work no matter what you try. It seems to me that you have only one option and you mentioned it in the penultimate sentence in your post.
Hope it's not a long dri've.:smileyvery-happy:

Creative Entertainment Center in windows 7.the remote not working

how i can activate the remote from x-fi fatality champion series.after i change my system form vista to 7 my remote not working.can i install the software from vista?

B? You have Creative Console Launcher, I believe and that is the program you can use to change between audio creation, entertainment and gaming mode. Each mode highlights the card's specialities in that area. You have a vitural multi-track mixer in audio creation mode. You have Dolby and DTS encoder/decoder options in entertainment mode, and you have a generic access to the cards other features in gaming mode.

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 remote not working

My Apple remote is not working with my MacBook. The Mac OS X 10.5 Help Knowledge Base says to go to Security > Systems > and Disable remote control infrared receiver. I don't have a systems button or box nor the checkbox to Disable remote control infrared receiver. And, my MacBook has an infrared receiver.

Hi Focus,
I have the same problem. When I update from TIger to Leopard the front row apple remote still working. But is been a long time the last time i used and now on 10.5.2 osx the apple remote not working as I imagine.
I read some answers that help me understand better the problem. My check box of "disable remote.."is unchecked and I saw a "pair" button and try to pair with my apple remote. The tips told me to HOLD "menu" and "next" buttons of apple remote to pair him with computer. And Works fine. So I try to push only Menu button (as I've done so many times on tiger) but still does not working. So I realize the command to "start front row from apple remote" now on Leopard 10.5.2 is MENU+NEXT buttons and does not anymore only menu button. For me works like this.
While I write this answer I try again push and hold only MENU button and after almost 2 or 3 seconds holding button appears on screen an virtual image of my apple remote signaling to replace the battery, may be now will be works only on push menu, but I need to change the battery first.
I hope help somebody.

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.

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

Creative cloud desktop app not working!!! won't let me sign in or reinstall

MAC os 10.7.5
Creative Cloud does not work!
Customer is waiting for work done, and this cost me money!!!! So help me please!
I can't sign in to my Creative Cloud desktop application. It opens, I enter my info, and then, I have a message you are no longer signed in. I tried to close the app several times, and also reinstall it. Nothing doesn't help.
Uploading is not allowed bacause Creative Cloud desktop does not work, fonts are missing because Typekit does not work!!!!!!!!

Hello paulina,
sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, don't use your own resources, that's insufficient!
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

Tecra A3 - Creative Mouse Wireless does not work

My Creative Mouse Wireless does not work while touchpad is installed.
Even if I disable the Touchpad, the mouse seal does not work.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you,
R.P.

Hello
On this way it is not easy to say what the problem is. I assume that you got some installations software for your external device. Install it and it should works.
As far as I know functionality of external mouse doesn`t depend on touchpad settings.
Bye

My adobe presenter redemption code (creative cloud) membership does not work.

my adobe presenter redemption code (creative cloud) membership does not work. Each time I input my presenter code at creativecloud/redeem it returns a message 'ooops, this code has been redeemed.'

I got both installed but on installing Presenter keeps giving errors that a previous version is installed on the computer and cannot proceed. I verified that there is no previous version and keep redoing the install and get stuck AGAIN and AGAIN at this point.
I also verified that I have the latest version of Flash on Chrome and I have the latest version. Why is Adobe so all over on downloading/installing their products. I (and other paying customers) cannot waste more time on this very simple procedure just because the software packages are not packaged properly or. the teams in charge of ensuring the products DID NOT correctly package the products securely (with the updates included) and more importantly, ensured that the products were linked to user accounts who purchased them.

Creative Console effects do not work

$Creative Console effects do not work@ Hi,
I have an Audigy SE with latest drivers, windows 7 64, and I'm using headphones
When accessing the Creative Console Launcher, the volume control, eax, everything has no effect on my sound, and it is clearly labeled 'headphones' at the top.
If I go to the Audio Control Panel, it has EAX functions that DO work, though, there are no bass adjusting functions etc.
Clearly, the EAX etc works, though it and the other features do not work in the Console Launcher, so I hope there is a way to fix this~
I even tried installing <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/SB-P7X-Series-Support-Pack-2-0-07-3-2009-AudigySE-Value-LS/td-p/53329]daniel's[/url] driver, still the same issue.
Thanks

bump please I would like my pc to have to nice sound...

X-Fi Platinum, AUX2 not working, please he

I have an X-Fi Platinum and the two RCA inputs on the front panel don't work. I know the front panel is working as the head phone jack works. When I look in the recording properties Aux2 isn't even there. It worked when I first installed the card and I'm not sure when it stopped working. I just installed the latest drivers today and that didn't fix it.
Is this a common problem with an easy fix? Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks,
Clint

Remote not working with WinXP 64

I have a X-FI Platinum card with the front module and remote. Under WinXP Pro everything worked fine. I have since upgraded to WinXP 64 bit Pro and the remote does not work.
I have installed the latest driver for WinXP 64 (At least last weeks driver) which went OK. Soundcard seems to work OK. I have a 5. speaker setup and I get sound from all speakers. Before there was the createi've audio console that was in the system tray, but that doesn't seem to be there with WinXP 64.
Is there another download that I need to do for the Remote to function ? Also I no longer have any sound test options in the audio console is there another download for that as well ??System Specs:ASUS P5N32 SLI Deluxe MOBOIntel P4 660 processor2 GB RAMBFG 7800 GT video cardX-FI Platinum sound cardWinXP Pro 64 bit?Thanks,?wstreaker

I am not sure whether the remote software gets installed with the 64 bit drivers or not. I know some people have turned to alternate software to control the remote on WinXP 64 bit edition successfully. I am sure you can find out what I mean by searching these forums, I am not allowed to say any more than that. Hope that helps?

Inspire P380 wired remote not working...

hey guys
juz recently bought the inspire p380 2.1 speakers from the SITEX PC Fair in singapore.
btw, im from malaysia and now im having problems with the wired remote
it has loose connections on the jack connector (the green thingy)...
and the sound produced in the speakers is kinda... fussy
the wired remote did work for a couple of weeks b4 this problem appeared...
so my prob is, its hard for me to claim my warranty and send this back for repair
coz i bought it in singapore and the staff there told me if i want to send my product for repair, i will have to go back to the main creative HQ in singapore
or a creative service centre located in another state here in malaysia, which is like 2 hrs dri've away from my place here
so how am i suppose to claim my warranty?

I am diagnose the problem, it's due to the new firmware so if Creative read this, can you put the remote control compatibility in new firmware? !!
how did you diagnose the problem? unless you have 2 identical zen player. one with latest firmware and another with older firmware to actually test it to confirm it's the firmware problem. I'm still incline to believe either your player is faulty or the remote is faulty and the problem is not due to the player firmware.
