My remote does not work on my iMac/iSight G5 anymore.

I have been able to pair it in the past but it keeps getting unpaired. The remote works on other Macs so it doesn't appear to be the remote. What next?

If you have not already, try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
followed by this procedure to reset SMU (power management)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
When you connect it back to power, if it was connected through a "power strip" of some type, I would try connecting it directly to a wall outlet, by itself (at least initially).  Don't have any other peripherals connected, particularly USB peripherals (I believe the IR sensor is on the USB bus internally), in case there is some odd device conflict.  Power it up take way, and then connect only a standard mouse and keyboard.  See if it there is any improvement.

  • Remote does not work correctly after update

    Hello,
    the subject explain it already:
    After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
    I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
    Any ideas?
    BR

    Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.

  • Microsoft silverlight plugin does not work in my iMac. Any suggestion on how to make it work?

    I occasionally attend webinars and in order to view and listen the site I use requires silverlight plugin. I used it in the past without any issues. Now even after I updated it yo the latest version it does not work. Is there a known issue of incompatibility with OSX mavericks? Does anyone have an idea on what the problem could be? I have an intel iMac and I use Safari. Thank you.

    Simple, the best option is to redownload and install the latest version. This will overwrite the old files and fix the possible corrupt ones. If you are experiencing any problems on certain sites follow this next step:
    Goto: Safari > Preferences > Extensions  and make sure that extensions are enabled and that particular extension (silverlight) is enabled.
    Let me know how these ideas work out for you.
    Hope this helped.

  • The remote does not work, when i turn the tv on I see the apple tv and the itune icon on the screen

    the remote on apple tv does not work,when i turn on the tv Isee the appletv and the itune icon on the screen.

    Did you do a software update?
    AppleTV is unable to start properly.  You need to connect to a computer running iTunes as detailed here:

  • Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

    This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
    I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display...  Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
    I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
    As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

    Working fine on my system
    If on wifi, try ethernet
    Make sure router is up to date
    Reboot all components

  • LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw - Scan to app All-in-One Remote does not work

    Hi gurus,
    Basically I have pruchased that super-printer and I am now trying to achieve scan to my mobile devices.
    I have one iPad 2 on iOS 7, on 2 Android devices (smaller tablet and phone) both running Kitkat 4.4.2
    I am trying to submit a scan from all these devices and retrieve the output within my mobile devices, actually this is fairly described here and concerns accurately my printer model :  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02486319&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&destPage=pr...
    Unfortunately, What happens :
    - From my iPad, the AiO app states that my printer is not compatible with the application !!
    - From my 2 Android devices, the All-in-One Remote app will work fine, except the scan feature as nothing happens (well, when tapping either 'Preview' or 'Scan' button in the Scan section, I see a 'Cancel' button during 0,1 second and I am back to that scan section)
    Any one could help please ???
    This question was solved.

    Hello,

    Is the product description misleading ? Is the AiO app not really reasy to support this printer ?

  • What to do when remote does not work

    What do u do when the appl tv screen loads but the remote doesn't work for it . I changed the batteries and turned off itv now what??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You may have inadvertently paired another remote to the Apple TV.
    Hold the remote close to and pointing 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.

  • Scanner does not work wirelessly with iMac

    I have an imac and an HP 8620 (not a cheap printer!!!)  trying to scan wirelessly running latest 10.10.2 and all i get is "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.hp.scanhandler.error error 2.2)"  I have uninstalled reinstalled, run the cd and still NOTHING.HP are as much help as a chocolate teapot, just telling me to go round in circles doing what I've already done!!!! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH

    Hey ! Thank you for posting on the HP Forums! I would be more then happy to provide some help regarding scanning with your Officejet 8620 to the Mac computer.  I find that a great way to scan on the Mac computer is to use the application called Image Capture.  Image Capture is a an application built into the Mac operating system that allows you to communicate with the scanner and other image capturing devices. To open Image Capture click on the Spot Light (Magnifying glass icon at the top right corner of the Mac).  Type Image Capture into the little search bar and it should show up as the first selection.  Open Image Capture and select your printer on the left side of the window.  The printer may be listed under "Shared".  Once the printer is selected you should have the option to scan.  There is also another button to "Show Details".  That gives you more options for setting up the scan.  You should have the option to name the scan, select a folder, change file type, etc. Here is an Example of Image Capture:  Please post back and let me know if that worked for you  

  • MY Apple TV does not work with my iMac, errr

    I have an Imac OSX 10.8.2.  I want to use my Apple TV to stream what I watch on my computer, yet when I go to the Display option in my Preferences menu, it seems to me that I have the option to select to turn the mirror option on - and to display the mirror icon on the menu bar, but I do not see it there. 
    Does my IMAC support the Apple TV? 
    When I go to my IMAC specs, in the Display section it shows that the mirror: is... off.  Can I manually turn it on somewhere els? errr! (frustated).
    P.S. When I do use the Apple TV to select other options like... movies or podcast as I arrow left or right it plays an Itunes song and raises or lower the volume as I press. Not enough info in the instuctions to pacify my angst.  Please help. Thanx:)

  • Apple TV, menu button on remote does not work???

  • Mouse click does not work. I can't doubleclick anymore to open folders or mark text at once.

    I have a MacBook from 2009.
    After I have installed a bluetooth mouse from Apple, both my touchpad and extern mouse won't use the funtion where you can double-clik to open a folder, or to mark a word -eg. when you usually doubleclick at the Internet adress bar, the complete adress or text would be marked.
    I don't use the Apple mouse anymore, I have tryed with my old Fujitsu cable-mouse, but the problem is the same with and without.
    It has been like this for two days, so I have tried to restart my computer without any succes.
    Please help, I am completely lost.

    Found the answer thanks to old threads!

  • HT4946 i want to backup my iPhone to my new iMac but my backup is selected to Encrypt Local backup and my password does not work.

    I am trying to backup my iPhone on my new iMac iTunes. It is currently backed up on my PC  and encrypted. Both PC and iMac iTunes have Encrypted backup selected. My password does not work for either iMac or PC. Should I go ahead and try to backup to my iMac iTunes.

    Sorry to hear about your phone jb111jb! We'll do everything we can to help find the best route! The only way to remove the password is flashing the device, but that will erase all the content. Have you ever backed up using Verizon Cloud or Google Sync? Do you have a memory card?

  • Remote does not find my Itunes Library

    I have 4 different mac and use Remote on my Ipod Touch to work with Itunes. Remote cannot connect to one of them (does not find the library). Settings (firewall, airport, account, permission, network...) on all my mac are similar but Remote does not work only with the MacBook Pro. Should I blame his airport card ? Or what ?

    I've also version 4.0 on my Ipod and I've checked the port TCP 3689 and UDP 5353 (as asked by Apple support website), they are well opened. I spent too much time on this...I give up Remote.
    Anyway thank you very much for trying to help me.

  • Sync iPhone5 to Contacts does not work, but contacts to iPhone5, works..! Crazy..??

    Hello all..!
    I added a new contact to my iPhone 5, and after a day or two tried to find it from contacts. Resolt? NOWHERE..!!
    I made all steps, before i write this question here. Tried almost(!) every help i found at sites. but didn't work.
    Finally, I deleted the contact from my iPhone5, and added it at first at contacts. I made sync, and the new contact came to my phone..!
    Please, what is wrong..??? This anomaly drives me crazy..!
    iPhone5 --> Contacts (iMac) does not work.
    Contacts (iMac) --> iPhone5 works..!
    PS. Before "Mavericks" was Mountain Lion, without problem...
    Thanks in advance

    Well not sure about anyone else but finally spoke with "support" today.
    First call I made I was told if I paid $79.00 I would receive assistance for a year.
    They could fix my problem through my pc.
    Well not paying.
    Phone 1-800-APPLE and was told that because didn't pay for call display through
    my provider it isn't going to work for me.
    Seems they don't advise you of that when you are making a decision on buying a phone.
    They at least could have put a *note saying function only works under specific conditions.
    I would have checked that out first thing.
    Lesson learned I guess. Now my provider supplies that option free for new plans but won't
    apply it to mine. So much for customer service. This all within a couple of months.
    Now if anyone has any information that would change what I was told please let me know.

  • Firewire port - does not work

    Firewire 800 port does not work on my iMac, mid 2010 version.
    If i plug in an external disk with external power it does not work. Sometimes the disk are recognized, but then it says its half the size it really is.
    On small disks without external power it works.
    I have tried 6 different LaCie disks with firewire 800 - all works on my macbook pro.
    I have tried 2 differne western disks with firewire 800 - all works on my macbook pro.
    All disks works as they should with USB.
    Is it possible to reset the Firewire port?
    If so, please send me a LINK. This support pages are **** to find correct answers…

    While you can't reset the FW port on it's own you can do a number of different resets including SMC & PRAM resets, you can also restart in Safe Mode which will clear some caches. It's possible one has become corrupt. Try these first and sff i you have any luck. Make sure ALL peripherals except the keyboard and mouse are unplugged when doing the resets. Also it is not a bad idea to do each reset 2-3x to ensure it's worked.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
