IR sensor worked last week, but not now.

I did have Plex installed and that had been taking over my infrared signals to the point which I could not control anything else. I tried installing remote buddy so that I could use the apple remote to control vlc. This didn't work either until I renamed my plex folder located in application support, even after turning the remote input off in the Plex settings. Anyway, after everything working fine for about two weeks, now all of a sudden the remote will not work. I have tested on a macbook and it works fine, have tried it with remote buddy while off and then while on, and it does show up under usb under system profiler so I know the IR sensor is at least still recognized by the system. It also no longer shows a remote as being paired in sys preferences > security, which is a new development, and it also will not allow me to successfully re-pair the remote. Is there any way to find out which programs are actively using the IR sensor, or any way to test it's functionality? I am under the assumption that if it shows up in sys profiler than it is most likely a software issue. I tried creating a new user, but unfortunately I apparently had installed quite a few programs for all users, so it doesn't really give me a clean slate for testing. Any new ideas are much appreciated.

My only success with passthrough today was with the xbmc live cd, I haven't had any success with killing pulseaudio either? I'v tried pasuspender which seems to temporarily disable pulseaudio however no succes. I also found this on the pulseaudio mailing list https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pul … 05179.html
Any ideas?
Many thanks Sigurd

Some websites keep asking to enable cookies in my browser when they are and I can't get this sites to see that, they worked fine yesterday but not now. I've restarted the browser, restarted the computer, disabled then enabled cookies in the privacy settings and still nothing. Any help?

#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

Unable to print from the browser, for example: in my amazon account, i am unable to print shipping lable by hitting "print" button. It worked in IE, but not now.

I used to be able to print from the browser, specifically Amazon...hit print and I would get the print/preview from windows. In IE it worked perfectly, but IE start messing up and grinding to halt, taking MINUTES to load a page, like dial-up!
Firefox is fast and runs great....just cant PRINT..grr.
also... noticed that i am unable to read my online paper now. Paper will open, i can read the full page view, but when I try to hit a particular article to enlarge in another popup window, nothing happens. perhaps a security something preventing popups? but there is no option to do otherwise.
again, was able to read articles in IE.
Am I missing an add-on?

I too developed the same problem about 2 weeks ago. First in Safari then Firefox. I have 2 printers, one local and one networked (different brands etc). Neither browser will print ANYTHING from the web to either printer. Jobs are not stuck in queu - goes to printer but just spits out blank paper. Not even email. No pop-ups involved (like the usps site). Not website specific. All other applications on the machine print perfectly to both printers.

I have a MacBook Air and for what ever reason, the print settings have gone out of whack. I am not sure how to set to print a normal A4 paper size or a standard envelope. These settings were working O.K., but not now

I have a MacBook Air and for what ever reason the print settings for envelopes and normal A4 paper size changed from printing correctly each time I wished to print. Now, each time I wish to print either, I have to rest paper size and or Envelope vertical or horizontal. Can anyone assist with how to reset in order to print correctly without the need to rest each time please?

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

Google Analytics worked when .mac, but not now its mobile me... help!

Hi all,
My iWeb 08 publishes to my web space within my mobile me package. After the change to me from .mac, I stopped using my @mac e-mail address and have started using @me instead. Further following a few issues when updating web galleries I decided to delete my published web site from Apples servers and re-publish it to mobile me. This has all worked fine apart from my google analytics. I deleted the html code, set up a new web address within my google account and copied and pasted the code into a fresh html snippet within iWeb. Once published the whole site works apart from info being sent to google for my analytics. Is there something different I need to do to get it working again? We move house at the weekend and I'm not sure when we shall have broadband set back up - therefore I'd like to be able to get stats on my sites visitors when web access is back available.
All help very much appreciated.
Tim

This may be the solution - will have to wait until tomorrow to see if it has worked - I found these:

Firefox is displaying improper dates and times while using Google calendar, however they display correctly in Internet Explorer. Firefox has always worked right before, but not now.

The Google calendar's information is accurately saved on our end on this sample page.

Works for me on Linux.

HT1386 i purchased a new phone last week but no able to sinc songs which were not purchased from itune.--please help

I PURCHASED A NEW PHONE LAST WEEK BUT NOT ABLE TO SINC SONGS WHICH WERE NOT PURCHASED FROM I TUNE- HELP

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

My transparency does not work on my iPhone and I was wondering how I fix that? It worked when I first downloaded ios7 but not now.

Hello wilsontot_too,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone. It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone. It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

Hello hobartco,
Home sharing will, indeed, need to be set up on your Apple TV, as well.

Since updating to the new 6 update, my contacts regularly disappear. I am constantly doing a restore to get my contacts back (have now restored 7 times over the last week) but they keep disappearing for no apparent reason. Help!?!?

Has this happened to anyone else? It's just happened AGAIN this morning!!! I am OVER it!!!!

No sound. Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar. What am I doing wrong or missing? I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?

Thanks, Rob

First off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left.

I was able to use the findmyiphone app last week, but now I have been getting an error message "Can't load findmyiphone. There was a problem loading the application." please help as we are trying to locate an ipod with pics of a no deceased loved one.

Had the same problem and the same message -- was suddenly unable to access icloud apps on my pc, also using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer. After several days of pulling my hair out, decided to try a different browser and was able to get in by using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Hope this helps.
