MBP IR Receiver Not Working

Howdy,
I have a 2009 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8
I am trying to use an Apple Remote with my iTunes. My computer is non responsive to my Apple Remote. I know the Apple Remote works because I have used it on another computer. In my system settings/security/general I have "Disable remote control infrared receiver" UNCHECKED and the computer is currently Unpaired to another remote. In my system profiler I can see my IR Receiver under USB. I cannot pair my remote to the computer and I have tried multiple button combinations.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there something wrong with my IR Receiver? Is there a way to test my IR Receiver?
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.
-Alan

I have tried everything, pairing, unpairing, the remote control works fine on the iMac but my Macbook just wont respond, Front Row works fine using +esc.
Maybe there is a command line using terminal to activate it, as I said before, the ir receiver is shown on system profiler-hardware-USB list.
Thanks again.

My MBP display is not working. Need to move data to new MBP Retina.

Hello.
My 3 yr old MBP display failed (display just showing vertical and horizontal lines).
I bought a new MBP Retina today.
Genius Bar told me to simply attach FireWire, then press "T" on old MBP to boot in Target Mode.
Then, look for old MBP HD icon on new MBP Retina desktop.
I cannot find old MBP icon on desktop.
I cannot transfer data from old MBP to new MBP Retina.
Any help would be appreciated?
Ken

Genius bar told you right - you need to start your old MBP up into target mode (booting while hold down the T key) but you need to have the right FireWire cable hooked up to the machines before you boot either. What year is your old model? Does it hve FW400 or FW800?
Here are the instructions from Apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661. Take a look at it and see if it helps. Also make sure that you have the Finder set so that external and remote disks will show up on your Desktop. When the disk mounts you can either just copy over files or, if you want to transfer accounts and associated directories, use Migration Assistant in your Utilities folder to copy over the info.
Good luck - call back if it's not working.

Send and Receive not working in Outlook 2011 Mac.

After doing a clean reinstall of Office 2011 the Send and Receive toolbar button does nothing when clicked. Performing a manual send and receive of the email account does not work either.
Note: Web Mail works fine.
Troubleshooting:
I’ve re-checked all account settings to ensure all settings are correct—they are.
I have recreated and reset my Outlook identities several times with no success.
I also rebuilt the Microsoft Database several times.
As a last resort, I performed a clean install of the entire Office package–twice.
Specs:
MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.5
Office 2011 updated to 14.4.8

Tablet 2 GPS receiver not working

I have a four day old tablet 2 model 3679-5XU that I purchased for traveling and using the GPS. I cannot figure out how to get it to function when not connected to WiFi or a mobil broadband connection. So far I have verified that the GNS Bus Driver and Geolocation Sensor drivers are at the latest version (19.14.5401.4). Is it just a matter of enabling the receiver somewhere in the software? I installed the GPS Sensor App and it shows the status as ready with a lat and long, but no altitude and when I turn off WiFi it will not show anything. I did the same thing with the GPSTest App and the results are the same when I turn off WiFi. Reading through the forum I see there are a lot of GPS questions but nothing of this nature. If someone could offer some insight as to how to get the GPS working, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,Roy

After much searching I found a program that takes the signal and converts it to a user-selectable virtual com port.Puff. It works. The program is free to try for 30 day and $14.95 to purchase. Here is the URL;http://www.centrafuse.com/us/centrafuse-localizer When you purchase car and something goes wrong you take it back to the company whos car it is. Tou would not take it back to the airbag company, if you had a faulty airbag. It is Lenovo's problem to fix. They want to blame it on the software. Well, if I call up Microsoft for support they say, "call Lenovo", since your software was pre-installed.If it would not work with existing software available, it should not have been installed./...

HT3964 MBP SMC reset not working

The built in- camera on my MBP is not working. I've identified the problem and it lies in the SMC, following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 told me to press the ctrl + option + shift + power button simultaniously as well as releasing them the same way. There is no way to remove the battery unless i intend to remove 10 screws, so I take it I am not supposed to solve the problem this way..? Anyway, when turning on the computer after following instructions it simply powers up as normal, I log in and the camera is still not found. Is there anyway I can solve this problem myself?

It wouldn't hurt to re-install OS-X. Maybe a PRAM reset would help, you could try that for good measure. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 Upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion wouldn't exactly be directly related but it's not a bad idea either. It's only about $20 right now!

New MBP retina notification not working

Greetings
I bought yesterday my first mac and i am pretty excited. I got my self a mac book pro retina 13 which comes with the latest mac OSX Mavericks.
I must say that i used to hear that mac books are pretty solid and everything works as a charm but unfortunatelly i did found some bugs within the first 2 hours of usage (scroling with trackpad occassionally not working on certain apps) but one of my main concairns is that my notification area is not working.
I have set a twitter account and a linkedin account on the "interney accounts" setting. They indeed appear as small tags on the notification area but appart from that it is empty. I also noticed that on the notification area there should be my calendar e.t.c which are still not there.
Any help would be mouch appriciated.
Thanks

The problem still persists even after reboot... the notification are is sill blank despite the fact that i have configured the apps as it is recommended...no banners no notifications ... nothing :-(
You can see the screenshot below
Should i call apple support ?

[SOLVED] IR receiver not working anymore

I have a laptop with a built in ENE eHome Infrared Remote Receiver and a Harmony remote as an MCE remote which was working fine a few weeks ago (maybe more), then it stopped working, I guess, after an update..
After trying for two days, I have now reinstalled my arch system (no big deal, this lappy is just a media center) just in case i might have messed something somewhere without knowing.
Sitll doesnt work. ir-keytable -r show no output from my remote.
Here is the output of some commands:

CHECKED "Disable Remote Control Infrared Received" not working

Hi,
I have an iMac and an Apple TV in the same room. I want the remote for the AppleTV to stop controlling the iMac.
Yes, I have already checked the box in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced.
Yes I have clicked OK and closed the lock to prevent further changes.
But the remote STILL CONTROLS the iMac. Its annoying.
On another discussion forum, a user mentioned a file called "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleIRController.plist" which my computer in fact does not have. Does anyone know, with Mountain Lion 10.8.4, should I still have this file?
Any other ideas what might be causing this?
The remote works and is paired with the AppleTV. But its still changing the iMac.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks,
ponderosa_74

Sorry to ask, but did you Unpair the Remote when you disabled the IR receiver...?

Infrared Receiver not working on mountain lion 10.8.2.

I found that just after i updated my OS to its new version the remote control stopped working. Is it a way to get it back again? (i checked on systems preferences but the option for this disappeared) I have a Macbook Pro and it worked before so the ir receiver must be on the hardware but disabled somehow from the software. I very much appriciate if someone please could help me solvinf this issue. Thank you so much in advance for the help guys!

Try deleting RBIOKitHelper.kext stored in system/library/extensions. It's associated with Remote Buddy. If it's old, it should be deleted. In any event, it's not needed to enable Remote Buddy Express to work.
Candelair does work well though if that's what you prefer.

Infrared receiver not working

Can anyone suggest why the infrared facility on my MBP doesn't work? I have already made sure the disable remote control infrared receiver box in security prefs is unchecked and I have the message "This computer will work with any available remote". But it doesn't. The remote itself works on my other macbook and on MBPs at work so I don't think the problem is there. I put a new battery in the remote just to be sure and it still doesn't control the computer I want it to.
Is there any other fix I can try or is it an Apple repair job? Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

In my case the situation is:
- System is up-to-date (10.4.9)
- There's no option to disable infrared in the "Security" preferences pane.
- Front Row doesn't even install (it doesn't pass the pre-requisites tests: os version and infrared receiver).
- Remote's battery is fine since I can see it blinkin in the camera.
- IR Receiver doesn't show up in System Profiler
- Reseting PRAM didn't work
- Apple hardware test (that comes with the installation discs) detects an infrared receiver but it doesn't have an mac address - don't know if it's supposed to - and says everything is alright.
- kext AppleIRdont_remember_therest doesn't automaticly load on boot. Loaded it manualy and it loaded ok but without any improvements on my problem.
Can anybody help?.....please?

MBP wireless does not work, DSL does....all of the sudden.

Hi Forum, I turned on the MBP this morning (while captureing vid on my POWERMAC), to check email. Wireless said I was not connected to internet....but the DSL on the powerbook (and when I plug it into the macbookpro) works fine. Unplug it and no internet connection...though the wireless signal shows strong. i've looked in the forum, help, etc, and can't seem to find a way to actually "connect" again via wireless....i saw something on the forum about WEP but do not know what this is.....can anyone please advise....OK...I'm unplugging the DSL cable now!
Thanks
Mark

hey mark
what kinda of a router do you have and do you know what kinda IP address it is giving your computer?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy just a level of security that will be on a network there are a few different kinds that can be set up the type of router you have might give some more insite on this for me
one thing you might try is setting up a test location in the network preferences and try joining again

Digital Coaxial Output to AV receiver - Not working

I have hooked up my LCD TV to my HP Desktop (9340f) using the S-video output on an Nvidia 9800GT video card. The video is great, but I cannot get the sound to work from my Harmon Kardon AVR146 receiver. I have connected the digital coaxial output on the back of the HP to the digital coax input on the back of the receiver.
When I open the properties for the sound devices and test the Realtek audio output, I can hear the sounds (piano??) from the speakers that are hooked up to the receiver however, when I play video through windows media or play a video game there is no sound at all.
Any suggestions??
This question was solved.
View Solution.

have you gone to Control Panel --> Sound then verify that Digital Output is enabled. not speaker ouput.
(If you are using Vista you should see a green check mark next to it)
It always helps if you tell us which OS is installed. That way no guesswork..I'm thinking perhaps ESP required.

P20-102 Satellite - Remote Receiver not working after running recovery CD

Hi,
I'm running Windows Media Center Edition and on my P20-102 Satellite notebook.
I recently needed to run the recovery CD, the process went fine except that my external remote receiver box supplied with my notebook no longer works.
The box was working with XP Media Center Edition and the remote before I ran the recovery CD. The receiver is detected and installed on machine when plugged in and recognised in Device Manager as a USB Serial Converter. The light inside blinks about 4 seconds. When pressing a button on the remote the light lights up both in the receiver box and on the remote so it's receiving the signal.
I guess this a software problem, I can't find any information about installation of the receiver or any drivers for it.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Paul

I eventually spoke with someone who didn't sound like he knew what the answer was but told me update the BIOS - how was this going to help? It turned out I had the same version installed anyway. My remote receiver worked on day 1 with the same BIOS software on it.
I was also advised to install the chipset driver, again this was already installed - still not impressed!
Anyone have any ideas?

List Item event receiver not working: SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I have ceated one custom list and also created a Event reciever solution using Visual Studio 2010.
In the event reciever I added ItemAdded, ItemUpdated events and did some my business related coding.
It was worked very well when I add/edit the list item.
But, now suddenly it stopped working!, I i really don't know what went wrong suddenly.
Only thing I did is, created one more solution event reciver and added some more columns to the list.
I then reverted all these changes and deleted the new event reciever from the site solution.
I am able to build and deploy the solution in VS 2010, and I could see the solution in site solution but events are not firing when I created/edited the list items
Any idea what went wrong and how can I get it back to work.
It has spoiled my all the work and I am unable to proceed.
Please let me know if anyone have any inputs.
I also tried following things: restart visual studio and deploy again, restart IIS, restart system itself, actvate-deactivate solution manually in site, GAC the dll manually.
But nothing has worked for me.
One more thing, I am using this solution as Sandbox solution and when I tried to make Sandbox as false and then deploy it gave me error like:
"Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."
Is this something related to my above problem?
Thanks, Sharath

Check Event receivers using powershell:-
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "sitename"
$spList = $spWeb.Lists["yourlistname"]
$spList.EventReceivers | Select assembly,name
Replace "sitename" with your site url and "yourlistname" with list name.
Once you confirm the event receivers, use below to delete them
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "your site url"
$spList = $spWeb.Lists["TrackTravel"]
$evts = $spList.EventReceivers | where {$_.Assembly -eq ""your assembly"}
$evts
if ($evts.Count -gt 0) {
            foreach ($evt in $evts) {
                Write-Host("Deleting..." + $spList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl + ", " + $evt.Type)
                $evt.Delete()
Once you run this, you can now redeploy your solution.

5.1 Surround Sound Macbook Pro via Toslink to AV Receiver not working

I cannot seem to get anything other than stereo out of my MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard, via toslink to my AV receiver using VLC to play MKV's ect.
I have opened Audio MIDI Setup, selected 'Built-In Output', 'Digital Out', '48000.0Hz', 'Encoded Digital Audio' and then 'Configure Speakers'. On the 'multichannel tab', I then clicked 'stereo' and am now unable to select '5.1 Surround' (desired option) or any other surround option (all options are greyed out). It's as if only my two fronts can be detected, but not the others in my 5.1
I have seen similar problems posted elsewhere, but none with 'not being able to switch from stereo to surround within Audio MIDI Setup'.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Sam

You ever get this figured out Sam? I'm running into the exact same issue.
