IR not responding for front row

ok so I am having a problem many people seem to be having. Infrared no longer shows up in the system preferences -> security pane. I cannot not pair nor unpair the IR device. I have tried booting into safe mode, resetting the pram. Funny thing is that it does not even show up under USB in the system profiler BUT with EYEtv if i press the menu button on my remote while EyeTV is running then the menu for eyeTV opens. weird. any thoughts? Genius thought my IO board is messed up. obviously not since eyetv will recognize the remote for its menu. while at the apple store we booted from their external and it did not recognize the IR remote either. I am at a loss and do not want to have to give up my macbook pro for a week to wait on them to repair/troubleshoot. Any thoughts?

"I am at a loss and do not want to have to give up my macbook pro for a week to wait on them to repair/troubleshoot. Any thoughts?"
Appears you have no choice if you want your computer IR repaired properly. If your computer is still under the 1 year warranty and/or you have AppleCare, you can always request for a replacement until your computer is repaired.

ITunes Rental Movies Do Not Play in Front Row on Computer

Surely I cannot be the only person who would like to watch a rented iTunes movie on my computer using Front Row?
My iTunes library is on an external drive and when I open and browse Front Row, everything BUT the rented movies appear in my movie list. Purchased movies are there, video podcasts are there, home movies are there, just not the rented ones. Why is that?
I don't have an Apple TV, just a laptop an external drive and a desire to watch rented movies through an application designed to play ALL my media, not just select media.
And I haven't seen any info on Apple's website to indicate that rentals would not work with Front Row. And I do have all the latest Apple software updates.

Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) has access to your iTunes and iPhoto libraries without launching those applications. You're right, rented moves don't appear in Front Row and there have been a couple of Front Row updates since rented moves became available. The only thing I can think of is that the rental terms can't be enforced when the movie is played in Front Row instead of iTunes. For example, Front Row's access to your iTunes library is really read-only. You can't delete files, apply ratings or change any other settings on the files in your library through Front Row. I think the way iTunes handles rental movies, the file has to be updated with some kind of tag when you start to play it so iTunes knows how much longer you have to finish playing it. So, it's doubtful Front Row will be able to do this. I don't think Apple has ever made a statement one way or the other about this, it's just my opinion.

When i want to go another from a tab,it shows firefox not responding, for a while then opens that tab!this is embarrassing me a lot by taking so much time!!why

I have two inconviniences with fire fox..
1)when i want to go another from a tab,it shows firefox not responding, for a while then opens that tab!this is embarrassing me a lot by taking so much time!!why it happens?
2) every time when adobe flash player is updated, it shows flash player can't be installed and it crashes! it says 'disable real player' though i never installed real player!!
plz Let me know why it happens to me????

1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

When trying to print, adobe reader 11.0.07 keeps "Not responding" for 2 - 5 minutes before finally working? I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but same problem. What is going on? I have windows 7

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

Illustrator 25% off the time "program not responding" for 35 seconds when network is active

Hi
My Client have 4 computers, all win7, running cs 5 or 6, the newest the cloudbased version.
The problem has been sinc upgrading from cs3.
"Program not responding" for 35 seconds, before loading the file on 1/4 of time.
It is not on specific files, and no patton.
it does'nt matter if the files are on network or saved local on Harddrive.
the sice does'nt matter.
Only switching of nic and wifi stops the problem.
I did try downloading other files (not made by my client), from the net, they do not trigger the problem.
What else then the Files can bee the problem? can anyone test my files to see what is wrong?
BG Allan Tjepp

I have a very similar problem with my CS6 Ai on our company network. I sometimes use Illustrator for image heavy documents less than 10 pages. These have a lot of placed images.
It will freeze, say "not responding" and curser switches to blue spinner. Then about 15 sec later it unfreezes and I can work for another 60 sec or so, then repeat freeze, blue spinner, etc. Very annoying. When i unplug the network LAN cable the problem goes away and I sail along. I have tried relocating the Ai file to my desktop (not sure about the images).
Waiting on any feedback or help, our IS guys are getting stumped. I could switch to InDesign for this work but not my preference.

Firefox keeps "not responding" for a few seconds - then connects

I just upgraded to Firfox 4.0 because of my new computer's Windows 7.
It started "not responding" for up to 20 - 30 seconds before it reconnects, and it is sometimes unresponsive to my mouse even when it is working. This did not happen before the upgrade and does not happen with Windows Internet Explorer

check your system preferences to see if you have "ignore accidental trackpad touches" checked (or something like that). If you type on you keyboard then try to use the trackpad you have to touch it a couple of times so the computer does not think it was an accident while typing. Just uncheck the box if it is checked.

what can i do.

Hi osh17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can turn off Accessibility features using a computer as well. That may be easier to do if Zoom is causing difficulty in using your device:

Why does my shutter not open for front facing camera? and remains black during FaceTime, iphone 5 6.1.3 completely restored to factory

Why does my shutter not open for front facing camera? and remains black during FaceTime calling over wifi even to a macbook, iphone, ipad 2, ipod touch and the device i have is iphone 5, 6.1.3 completely restored to factory, 5 times, 4 without restoring from back up, the last one i figured might as well have my content on it if its not going to work anyways.
Thanks

Hello jaganaiyappa,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like the one you described:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Additionally, if your iPad is not being recognized in iTunes, I recommend the following article. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

HT201413 iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated

Using my TV for Front Row

First of all, apologies if this question has been asked before. I did search for it, but couldn't find it anywhere.
I have an iMac on my desk, and right next to my desk I have a 32" Samsung HD TV (Model No: LE32C450). As I don't have a DVD player for my TV, I was wondering if there was any way that I could connect my iMac to my TV for watching movies using Front Row? And before anyone says it, I know I could just buy a DVD player for like £20, but I wouldn't just be using this for DVDs.
Now, I'm not all that good with the technical side of stuff, such as which cables and adapters I'd need, or if I'd need any special software and things like that. My iMac has a Mini DisplayPort, and my TV has 3 HDMI slots, and according to the manual for the TV, one of them is DVI.
I know it's possible to use a TV as a monitor, but would it work for what I want? The iMac doesn't seem to have an Audio Out slot, so I guess I couldn't use my TV's speakers? And would the resolution be good enough for things like movies? I believe the TV is 720p (so not full HD) if that makes any difference. Basically, I don't want to spend money on this if the picture and/or sound are going to be poor.
Sorry for such a long question, but any help would be much appreciated. If you need any more info, just ask and I'll do my best.
Thanks

Actually, it's a little more complicated than Kappy suggests. "Pairing" the remote means only ONE remote will control the device that's been paired. However, that same remote will still control other devices. So, unless you have two remotes and can pair each one with one device (computer & Apple TV), one device will still receive stray commands.
If you do have two remotes, then pair one to the Apple TV and the other to the MacBook. Then they won't get confused. Pairing a remote with the Apple TV does NOT appear in Mac OS X help at least not in either Mac I checked. However, pairing a remote with a computer does:

Pairing your remote with the Apple TV:

If you only have one remote, in the MacBook's Security System Preferences, check on the option to disable the built-in IR receiver. With the receiver off, the MacBook won't react to any signals from the Apple TVs remote.

Descriptions of Iphoto are not appearing in Front Row

I have several slideshows of photos in Iphoto. Those slideshow contains descriptions for certain photos.
When playing those slideshows via Front Row, the descriptions are not appearing.
Further, only the first track of music linked to those slideshows is playing and repeating its own, instead of going over to the 2nd and 3nd music partition.
Any idee how to solve those problems? Will Front row on the apple Tv or on the Mac mini show the same ?
Many thanks.

First of all many thanks for your help.
In Iphoto, below on the left of the window, when you select an album, you see the title, the date and hour, the Key word, the type and size of the selected photo in the album. Below that is the 'description' that you can enter. This description is displayed in Iphoto when playing the photo show. This description is also transferred to Idvd, what means that it is possible to burn a Dvd to be watched on your Tv. Synchronizing the same album with the Ipod transfers the photos but not the description. And, in my opinion, there is no way to do it. Exporting the album gives the possibility to select the title and the key-word of the photo, but not the description. I tried this out, and unfortunately it is not working (only the title is transferred). Exporting the same album to as Web Page gives the possibility to select the description for export.
As I am eventually interested in the acquisition of a Apple Tv or a Mac Mini as Media center, I tried on my Imac to use Front Row in order to be sure that the 'description' of my photos will show on Tv as it is the case via a Dvd.
And in fact, the 'description' is not taken into account by Front row.
I hope that this long story is clear enough and that somebody has a solution.
Thanks

Events do not appear in Front Row / Shared Photos

Events do not appear when launching Photos in Front Row, only Recent Viewed, Last Import, Web Galleries and Albums.
Doesn't it kind of defeats the purpose to have Events, which was implemented to make organizing easier and eradicate the large number of albums we usually had?

Yes, I think the Event implementation is lacking in a few areas. On the positive side, I noticed that iMovie and iDVD '08 allow you to browse Events and add them as slideshows.
Now all we need is for Apple to update FrontRow to support Events, and also update iTunes/iPod so that we can view our events on the iPod.
Although Events is a re-hashed "Film Rolls" feature, I believe that many people would be happy to group photos by Events, using Albums only rarely. If we can get full support for Events in other apps, then it would be great!
