  • How can I get my Apple Remote to play/pause and do other functions on all applications?

    When I press the F8 button on my Macbook, it plays or pauses the media for whatever media application I have open, whether that's iTunes, VLC, or MPlayerX. Same goes for F7 and F9, which are backwards and forewards respectively.
    Well I recently bought an Apple Remote and expected that the same thing would go for the remote; the play/pause button would give the same command as the F8 button, so I could use the remote on whatever application that also supported the F7, F8, and F9 buttons. But apparently, that's not the case; so far I've only been able to control iTunes.
    So is there any setting I can change or program I need to install to have the Apple Remote buttons work just like the keyboard media buttons? I tried Remote Buddy, but that's not giving me specifically what I want since it's only designed to make specific programs compatible. But they still don't support for example MPlayerX, which is my default video player.

    Gosh, that must explain why it didn't come with a magic hat!
    I completely accept the fact that Apple designed it to do a limited set of functions, but in the post I asked if there was any program that I can install that causes it to do hit the function keys for me. There's already Remote Buddy, which intercepts remote signals and performs specific functions instead of the normal ones. How then can there not be a program that also intercepts them, but hits the function keys? Seems to me that that would be even easier than what Remote Buddy's doing.

  • How do you get the apple remote to STOP always launching iTunes????

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have discovered a few annoyances. The biggest one is that the Apple remote is always launching iTunes when I use it. Even when the Finder is not the target app.
    I have my entire Star Trek collection on a firewire drive, and I like using VLC to watch them because of the playlist feature. Every time I use the Apple remote to try to skip to the next episode, it launches iTunes and begins playing music. This NEVER happened before in Leopard or Tiger.
    I have gone through the iTunes preferences and also looked for some obscure system preference to deal with this issue, but so far, no luck.
    Again, the]is NEVER happened under previous operating systems, so I'm going to assume it's a glitch in Snow Leopard.
    Does anyone know what's happening here??
    Help me obi-wan.

    HI,
    Open System Preferences/Security and turn Disable remote control infrared receiver.
    You may have to click the gold padlock icon to do this. You will be prompted for your
    Admin password.
    Also, when you come across a "bug", report it to Apple.

    You can try to re "Pair' the remote also.
    To pair an Apple Remote with your computer:
    Hold the remote close to the computer (3 to 4 inches away) and point the remote at the front of the computer.
    Press and hold both the Menu and Next buttons on the remote until the paired-remote icon appears on your screen (about 5 seconds).
    To unpair an Apple Remote:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click General.
    Open the General pane of Security preferences
    Click Unpair.

  • How can I get a folder to appear in the Folder list when I am trying to import pictures?

    There is a folder on my hard drive that does not appear in the list of folders in the import dialog. I have tried expanding all the other folders around it (my photos are filed by date of capture) to see if it was somehow imported as a subfolder. It is simply not there. I can find and open it and access all the pictures in Photoshop Elements but not in Lightroom 4. Any ideas?

    I would try this:
    In Lr import one photo into a different folder that you can see in the list.
    Then in your OS (mac Finder / Win Explorer) move the photo to the folder that you cannot see.
    In Lr the photo will now appear with a question mark on its frame. Click directly on the question mark and select <Locate photo>. Navigate to the folder, open it, and click on the photo.
    Maybe this will help Lr to recognize the folder.
    If this doesn't help try renaming the folder in your OS.

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.
