Is the remote sensor work with other things?

Does the circular remote reciever work as an IR reciever with other devices? etc...??
Thanks

Weird you should ask this,
Seems like a weird link across but I was playing with OmniRemote for Palm, programming my TV remote etc into it, as well as the Apple Remote.
OmniRemote works like one of those programmable remote controls, but on a Palm PDA.
The Palm was able to emulate the Apple Remote perfectly, all functions working. But it didnt work with any other remotes in the house, no matter which InfraRed frequency I selected. This suggests to me that Apple use a slightly unusual InfraRed frequency.
Also, tried to beam items from the Palm to my MacBook with no luck, Palm can't see the MBP. Neither can my Sony Ericsson W900i.
I'm sure someone will do a software hack eventually, but at the moment we seem limited to just using the remote

  • HT1551 Atv3 doesnt want to finish installing update although ive tried several times, now the remote wont work with it either and when I press the remote the light on the box flashes several times, I unplugged everything but nothing works and I cant reset

    my Atv3 is due for an update and ive tried several times to install it but although it downloads it never finishes installing and tells me that it wasnt possible to update and to try another time. I try every other day and it only inches forward in the progress but it never completes the installation. I was tired of waiting and I decided to keep on trying in a period of time one night until it would finally install, that never happened and Im not sure what is going on but the remote stopped working with the atv3 and when I press a button the box light flashes several times but does nothing, ive disconnected it and left it that way for over 24 hrs, ive disconnected everything (tv, internet etc) and nothing. I cant reset the atv3 through the remote either...i dont know what else to do

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

    I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or 
    recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
    I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different 
    pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
    There are 6 pages of images and text, and it 
    would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did 
    download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
    Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

    Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them.  You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
    However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

  • Getting the remote layer working with a Tascam DM3200?

    After talking with a very helpful Apple tech, it seems my Tascam DM3200's emulation of a Mackie Control in Logic Pro 9.1.7 was the source of the weird "unresponsive transport" problem on my system (I'm not saying that this is the source of EVERY version of this complaint... but if it's happening on your machine, I would defintely look at the control surfaces as a possible cause, because after deleting the control surface in Logic my system has run two back-to-back 10-hour days without the slightest hiccup).
    So to get back to work, I just deleted the control surface in Logic.  But this tech mentioned that he had a Tascam console himself and not only knew of the problem, he had seen somewhere on the web a method of tweaking the connection... either in the Tascam or, more likely, in Logic's set-up... that made the Tascam work perfectly.  I think he said that using this method, you didn't run the Tascam as a Mackie emulator, but created your own profile so you could control Logic directly.  (?)
    He's an Apple guy, so couldn't take the time to direct me to third-party solutions, natch.
    ANYBODY out there doing this / heard of this / know where to go looking?  I foolishly sent an e-mail into the support guys at Tascam, but I have a mental image of their tech department being a bunch of cobwebbed skeletons sitting in front of TRS-80 screens.
    Two things I already know:
    1  Setting it up as in the Tascam instructions does not work.  It SEEMS to work, but screws things up later.
    2. A helpful guy on another forum showed me how to turn off "Key Repeat" in the Logic Mackie Control setup, which did get rid of one early problem.  Doing that DOES NOT fix this "unresponsive transport" thing.
    So, please don't link me to the Tascam Logic Setup PDF or tell me how to turn off the key repeat for Stop, Play and Record.  Thanks for any help or direction you can provide.....

    If you're connecting it to the AirPort base station's USB port, format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and follow these instructions. You may need a powered USB hub.

  • Why does the GPS not work with other programs?

    It works ok with Blackberry maps. But there are about 5 or 6 programs that I use that will not lock GPS. The one that really florred me was the camera. I sit there and sit there waiting for the gps to lock on (turn from red to white) and nothing happens. We all know that google maps doesnt work (it only will use cell towers. After the STORM disater you would have thought RIM would have been a bit more careful with thier OS's. Hope they get a fix out soon.

    Hi Barbara
    Thanks for the response.
    I updated to Mavericks (10.9.3) and the organizer now appears to work.
    However, it is extremely slow in previewing photos that were already on
    the Mac and does not appear to be able to download photos from a Canon
    5DIII. It appears to start but then spins and spins. It ran overnight
    and was unresponsive this morning.
    Do you have any ideas as to what to do to make this work?

  • Apple Remote stopped working with Lion on iMac

    My white Apple Remote does not work with Lion on my iMac 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo anymore.
    I'm sure it was working recently as I was able to control the volume on my RadioShark application.  Now that doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to get the remote to work with anything. 
    I've tried restarting my iMac, swapping the remote's battery, and using another remote but still no success.  The only response I get is from the remote's 'Menu' button which, when pressed, toggles between two graphics on screen - one a four-way arrow indicator with a centre button, and the other what appears to be a Forward/Back, Centre button with corner indications for Expand/Shrink.
    I've tried the 'Pair' option but pressing 'Menu' and 'Fast Forward' does nothing on screen - no sign of the chain-link 'Paired' symbol. Neither of the white remotes I tried is 'Paired' with the iMac.
    It seems I must have done something to cause this but can't think of any change I made that could be responsible.  I know Front Row is no longer accessible in Lion, but is there any other app I could test my remote on?  Any kind of hardware reset needed? (unlikely, I know, with two separate remotes showing the problem).
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm replying to my own question because my remotes are working again.
    I'm not sure what I did to fix the issue, but I tried shutting down all open applications (I remembered that by default Lion re-opens with everything as it was).  And shortly afterwards I got full functionality back for my Apple Remote.
    I'm not sure what caused the issue.  I did install Easy Timeline, which I'd downloaded today from the Mac App Store.  It has Apple Remote functionality, so I'm not sure if it was in some way implicated.  It's working now with my remote, as is iTunes, and RadioShark.
    Weird!

  • Does Air Express Work with other brand Routers?

    I just got an Airport Express. I can't seem to get it to work with my Linksys router. Are the supposed to work with other brands, or only Apple?

    Since you now have two 802.11n AirPorts, you will want to take advantage of the "extend a network" feature this version offers instead of the 802.11g WDS.
    Here's the basic setup to extend the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) with the AXn ...
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Can the MacBook Air work with any other type of internet connection beside wifi?

    Can the MacBook Air work with any other kind of internet connection besides Wifi?

    Who? ITS VERY important when doing a restore, in fact you DO NOT want to do a wifi restore
    The pros all have that Ethernet adapter,... that should tell you something. An Ethernet restore via that "thing" makes restoring the OSX about 8X faster.
    Its called a Gigabit Ethernet adapter for a reason.
    "who the heck" is anyone working with their Macbook Air at home and want a MUCH FASTER download / internet connection.
    *Stockbrokers who pack their Macbook Air, arrive at work and plug that "hardwired" dongle to their Air........  because even seconds in the stock market can make the difference between losing a million $$, or making a million $$
    So now you know WHY,.....before you didnt.

    Hi Ron.
    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.

  • I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpaid the first before pairing the second. How do I unpair?

    Which operating system are you running on?
    Are you upgrading from a previous version of Photoshop elements or is this your first?
    Are you trying to load the organizer or the editor or do both fail?

  • Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

    Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?
    Thanks!

    It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

  • For WRT1900AC, how do the 4 antennae work with each other?

    I am curious how the 4 antennae work with each other.  Does a wifi client need to communicate with all 4 antennae?  Or just 1 (or 2)?  I am curious, as I would like to move 1 or 2 of the antennae via proper cable to expand the coverage area.

    spec on that cable is 10.8dB per 100 feet. I would think that the router would still have a problem with that. Not sure how long the OP was going to make it but with the beaming technology i would think it would throw it off balance.
    My maximum is 60ft when using LMR400 for standard wireless applications. I have done that many many times.
    These days they typically integrate the higher gain antenna right into the bridge housing or mount the outdoor bridge right next to the antenna.
    Please remember to Kudo those that help you.
