Yes, this remote works this machine, and all my other Apple machines.

Yes, I have 2 other, and they both work with this machine.
Edit: I just restarted the computer, tried again, and now it works! Problem solved

  • HT1619 I can't get my remote to pair with my Macbook air

    Just got a new Macbook air and a remote. I changed the battery, followed the directions in the booklet (press the right button) and then the one on line (simultaneously press menu and fast forward) and neither worked. Does the remote not work with the MacBook Air?

    At the risk of offering too simple of a possible solution,

  • How can I get my computer to pair with my Mouse or Trackpad?

    My computer wouldn't pair or recognize my mouse. I restarted several times and changed batteries on the mouse with no success. I just returned from purchasing a track pad, thinking that my mouse was defective. However, I cannot get the computer to pair with the tarackpad either. How do I solve this one?

    Hello gothamsgroove,

  • Can't get wireless keyboard to pair with iPad2

    Just got my keyboard tonight and can't get it to pair with my iPad2. Tried several times and even changed batteries. Any suggestions?

    Is the blue tooth turned on?
    Settings, general and bluetooth.
    Once that is turned on it should look for devices around. Follow the instructions on your keyboard to put it into discoverable mode and see if the iPad sees it.
    I'm presuming it's a bluetooth keyboard.

  • Why can't I get my 3Gs to pair with my iMac?

    I've been trying to get my 3Gs running 4.3.5 to pair with my late 2009 iMac running Snow Leopard over Bluetooth and they keep fighting each other and won't pair up.  I don't ask for much, I'd just like to use my mac as a handsfree device when I'm home and the phone is charging.  This use to be so easy, and it's paired up with my Pioneer car stereo perfectly, but for some reason the Mac and the iPhone don't want to talk to each other.  Which I find rather ironic considering they're both Apple products...
    Any suggestions?

    As I said, what you're trying to do is not supported.

  • Can't get old scanner to work with new iMAC

    I have an old scanner, Epson Perfection 4870 Photo that I can't get my new iMAC to install in PSE6 like I've had in my older computers. I've installed all the software (plus I used my old laptop to transfer files/information when I initially started the new iMAC. When I go into PSE6 it is not under the import area that it used to be. Do I need to go manually drag the file in the hard drive to another folder? Thank you.

    Most likely the problem is with the driver. I have the same scanner at work and this is what I had to do to get it to work. Because you are running PSE6 which is a Universal Application on an Intel Mac, in order for the plugin to load within PSE it must also be a Universal plugin which it's not. Epson claims these drivers that were released in 2006 are Intel and 10.5 compatible. What you have to do to get it to work is Open up Epson Scan Utility in order to scan because the Scan Utility will run as a PPC Application. You can call Epson to confirm but if they try and tell you how to run PSE in Rosetta that is not a good solution.

  • Can't get Epson NX510 to work with new iMac

    I am new to Mac, and I apologize if this is the wrong forum to this question, but...
    Apple threw in an NX510 scanner/printer/copy/fax when I bought my new iMac a couple of months ago. Printer/copy functions works great. But I cannot get the scanner function to work.
    Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

    Meanwhile, since Apple does not read these forums, I suggest we all leave comments on their feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    That way they'll at least know a bunch of us are having this issue.
    Hopefully Apple will issue a fix soon.

  • Can't get Bose Soundlink to work with iTunes 11

    I have a Bose Soundlink speaker that connects via bluetooth.  Prior to iTunes 11, the connection worked very well and reliably.  Then iTunes 11...
    Now,  I can get the bluetooth to pair with the Soundlink but the music won't play.  Click play, nothing.  Click pause, nothing.  Disconnect the Soundlink and the music starts playing through the computer speakers.  Re-connect the Soundlink, iTunes locks up again.  I've tried re-booting and powering off the Soundlink, manually re-connecting the bluetooth connection and still notta. 
    Any ideas much appreciated.
    Also, anyone else feel like iTunes 11 is way more resource intensive?  I'm constantly seeing the little rainbow swirl now when in iTunes as the computer bogs down.  I don't recall this being the case in iTunes 10.x.

    I should clarify that when trying to play music when connected to the Bose, the music does not play at all.  The song does not progress and the time on the song doesn't move.  Disconnect and the song immediately starts playing.  Re-connect and it stops, no audio but also no movement of the song itself. 
    Also, if I can play music on the Bose with my iPhone with no problem.

    It is only mention v2 not v1, so not sure if it will work. You should not be able to buy a key, because each device is sold with their specific usb receiver, so the answer is, you cannot get one, except if you buy  a new part.
