My remote controls the TV and my laptop

When I have my laptop in the room while I'm using Apple TV, the remote control controls both the computer and the TV. Front Row pops up in full screen mode. How can I make disable the remote on the laptop or better yet, sync the remote with the TV.

Had the same problem with one of my laptops and the TV... I ended up going into the Applications section, the utilities, system preferences, and the library sections of the computer and deleting EVERYTHING that said Front Row.
I know it's a bit of an extreme but it did seem to do the trick. Unfortunately I noticed the IR port in the front of the computer after I had done all that. Suppose it would have been easier to just put some tape or white out over it instead. Oh well....

HT1595 my remote controls the volumes on my laptop

How do I stop my apple tv remote from controlling the volume on my laptop. I want to use the apple tv remote only for apple tv and nothing else

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password))
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

Remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC with the new IPad

With the latest version of ITunes for both Win7 and the new IPad, I'm only able to use the new IPad to remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC through wired connection ( ethernet cable ) to the wireless router. As soon as I connect my PC through wireless connection, the new IPad can not find my libraries.
Is this a known issue or am I missing some settings?
Thanks,

Are you using the 64 bit installer?

Apple TV remote "controls" the iMac's Volumn!

My new Apple TV remote obviously is able to control the volumn of my iMac when I toggle the remote up and down although I have paired the remote to Apple TV. Any suggestion and solution? Appreciate.

I work in the sound booth in my schools auditorium for plays. Ive seen people use the iPad to control the lights and sounds wirelessly, but i dont know how to do it myself. Help?

Is it possible to control the lights and sounds/do sound ir light checks from backstage via my iPad? Ive seen it done, but dont know how to do it. Is it just an apo?

It would have to be an app, but it would be hard here to guess which one. They may be using a remote control app (such as Splashtop Remote Desktop) to control another computer that is controlling the lights and sounds, or they may have a dedicated app that goes right into their system. You'd have to ask them - or do a search in the App Store, or perhaps do a search for "iPad Theater technical system" or something like that.

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC & and few Comments About the Playbook Tethering

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC can be a bit tricky.
On the Z10 do the following:
On the Z10 go to the Settings.
Go to Network Connections.
Go to Internet Tethering.
Select USB.
Turn on Tethering.
On the computer run the Blackberry Link software for the Z10:
Once the software starts, connect the Z10 via the USB cable to the PC.
Open the browser.
You should now be able to cruise the net, and do emails.
With the Playbook, the Bluetooth tethering does not yet work. This may be an OS or communications issue.
The best way to tether the Playbook for full speed and functions is using the WiFi option. Simply turn on the WiFi hot spot option and follow the instructions. The Playbook WiFi must also be properly set up. The Z10 USB and Bluetooth tethering mode must be turned off when using the WiFi mode. You can leave the base Bluetooth active on the Z10. There is a lot of available information about using the WiFi hot spot from the Z10. The process is very similar to the past models of Blackberry phones.
If you use the Bridge mode to tether, the Playbook email client software does not work very well. The browser will work fairly well, but slower with the Bridge mode. With WiFi the Playbook can brows at very high speed. With Bluetooth it is restricted to about 1.5 to 2.5 mb/sec. Take care that the WiFi mode burns through battery time very fast on both the Playbook and the Z10. Using the Bridge mode uses less power consumption than WiFi.
To use the Bridge mode, make sure the Playbook and the Z10 are first Bluetooth mated. Also the Bridge mode has to be set up between the devices. You will have to first install the Bridge software in to the phone for this to work.
I did extensive testing between the Z10 and the Playbook. They function well together as far as Internet and email are concerned, in consideration of using either tether or Bridge, depending on what you want to do.
From what I understand the Bridge mode uses some compression. It will not be as fast as using WiFi or Bluetooth tethering. The data cost using the Bridge mode is probably a bit lower because of the compression.
As far as the Bridge phone options are concerned, these features are not yet available. From what I read in a number of articles there are going to soon be some updates coming out to fix this. The Bridge options are a big part of the tablet application with the Blackberry phone. This was the big original application point of this tablet, otherwise any generic tablet would do the job.

From the look of this thread it appears that no one outside of Canada uses an OS 10 BB yet. 247 views and no comments or help ? I'm sure I'm not the only BB user that uses Tether. If BB doesn't care to help then this will just be another nail in the corporate coffin that has been projected.
Maybe we need different forums for US users as the Canadians don't seem to have the same issues or cares.
The whole idea of the app Tether is not to have to pay the outrageous tethering fees that US carriers charge and it has worked well for years. But it can't work and won't work in the future without help from BB and the BB community.

I bought a $15 app GTA Vice City a while ago and I just started using it and it doesn't work. I checked all the requirements and my laptop meets all of them. I also have contacted Rockstar Games and they didn't help. Can I get my money back? Its annoying.

Hi...
Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
But since you are not getting any help from the developer, you can use the email form to contact Apple and ask for a refund > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support.
No guarantees.

How do you control the position and size of images, i.e,. photo to the printer?

HP Officejet 8600
Windows XP
I am trying to figure out how to control the positon and size of photos or pics that are included in an email that I send to my printer via HP ePrint.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Old_Salt,
What model HP printer do you have?
ePrint is a very simple system when it comes to printing, because it doesn't provide as many controls as one may be used to with a computer. Many of the photosmart printers are designed to recognize a photo in ePrint and print the image to the proper photo paper.

Try Restoring it in iTunes. If that does not work you will probably need to get it serviced.

How do I erase iphone tracking data from both the phone and my laptop?

I recently found out about the storage of tracking data on my phone and on my computer when I sync up.
I am running Windows 7 with the most recent version of itunes.
I have the following questions?
Where is this information located (directory path pls)? I have a secure erasure program that can nuke this information with a Gutmann wipe.
What other methods are available for secure deletion of this information from the phone and my laptop?
Please advise.

Richard's suggestion will turn off and turn on the wireless function on your Mac computer......but.....it will not do anything as far as turning your Apple AirPort router on and off.......which seems to be the question that you are asking above.
If this is the question that you are asking, it is not possible to power the Apple router on and off from either a local or remote location.

Can I control the in and out point of a layer with a keyframe?

Hi all, I'm working in a sort of template for a series of mograph videos. Some sort of motion typography work.
The animation is always the same but the only thing that changes is the length of the video (for legibility purposes).
I was wondering if I can control the in and out points of a layer with the keyframes from another layer.
Lets say Layer's A keyframe from slider 1 position in time is the out point (plus/minus an offset would be also great) of layer B.
I've been playing with expressions on a regular basis but I don't really know where and how to write an expression like that or if it's possible.
Thanks in advance

This should probably be moved to the expression forum then.
I'm not sure I understood the details of your project but here's a basis: you can do that with an expression in the layer's time remapping property. So if you want a layer to start playing at the second keyframe on another layer, you can try something like (writing in my browser, watch for mistakes):
//   The "number" of the keyframe (first, second, third, etc)
var index = 2;
//   The layer with the keyframes
var l = {pick-whip the layer with keyframes here};
//   Just a safety, check the layer has at least enough keyframes
if (l.numKeys >= index)
     //   If yes, the new time is the difference between the keyframe's time and the current time
    max(0, l.key(index).time-time);
else
     //   Doesn't matter, let's return 0
    0;
