My remotes are not paired yet my remote is going with my computer and tv every time i move something on my tv it moves on my computer

My apple tv remote is not paired. So when I go to scroll on my tv it turns my computer up or turns music up? What am I doing wrong?

Pairing is a bit confusing.
Remotes know nothing about pairing, only the devices do.
The assumption is that a remote has a 'serial number' which is emitted with the IR command.
If the device/computer is paired with a remote it ignores commands from remotes with different 'serial numbers'.
Therefore an unpaired device responds to any remote whether or not it's paired to a particular device.
Options:
1 - pair the computer with a different remote and AppleTV with it's own remote.
2 - Disable IR receiver on computer - in Snow Leop[ard go to System Preferences>Security and on teh general tab you can disable remotes.  Not sure if the preference is somewhere else in Lion or still there.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

  • Some Apps are not available yet.

    Majority of the important apps are not available yet for Q5.  Any updates on when this will be available. Like Viber and WeChat. WeChat is already available and it says that it's compatible with OS 10 but why is it unavailable for the Q5 in specific? Isn't Q5 running on OS10 too!?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    App compatibility is the same as it has always been for BBs. All apps must be specifically ported to the exact device model number AND major OS level in order to function. That means a lot of porting for the developers, and sometimes they choose to not do so. An app that functions on Z10, for example, will not function on the Q5 unless the developer specifically ports the app for the Q5 (and pushes it correctly out via BBWorld).
    Likewise, it's up to those app developers to choose what platforms they desire to support. If they do not support a platform that you desire, your channel to push for it is with the developer directly, contact information for which can normally be obtained in the BBWorld catalog.
    Good luck!

  • How to track/check on which production orders are not confirmed yet?

    Dear Experts,
    Is there any transaction or processes to check,only those production orders which are not confirmed yet?
    Besides the transaction code, I would kindly like to request you to provide me a small overview of it. Your support will be really  appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!
    wishes,
    jeevan

    Hi,
    Please refer the below screen for COOIS report. Please check on Sys status as CNF Excl. It will show you all the orders which is not with CNF.
    COOIS/COOISPI (For process industries) is very useful report where you can see entire details of orders. You can see report both on planned order and production/process order. As well the report can be seen in several level like header, component, operations etc..
    Different layout for display is also possible for different users.
    Please try it by different options. You will find the functionality of the Transaction.
    Regards,
    Krishnendu.

  • I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

    I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

    If you are using an HDMI connection, go to Apple / System Preferences / Sound and see if you can select the Built-In Speakers?
    If you have headphones, buds or something plugged into the Audio Output jack, unplug it.
    If not then perhaps the micro switch inside the Audio Output jack is stuck? In that case, try plugging and unplugging some headphones, buds or something in and out a few times to see if it will un-stick.
    If it will not un-stick, then you will need to make an appointment for service.

  • Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Is there any ways how to retrieve this folder: /var/db/volinfo.database. Luckily the files in the trash are not deleted yet. But what shall I do now?

    Hi,
    I am using Mavericks and my MacBook is MacBook Pro with Retina Mid 2012.
    And I made a little silly mistake, I deleted db folder, which is this:
    /var/db/volinfo.database
    Luckily, the files in Trash have not been deleted (I am not sure). because the trash stops me from emptying the trash.
    However, I cannot go into Users and Groups Preferences folder in system preferences app.
    And also, every time I tried to move back the db folder into the right place with Put Back Option,
    it will go into Finder's username and password, asking me to enter my information. But it "shakes" back at me as if it is rejecting my account.
    What shall I do now?

    Are you running an administer account?  1) If you delete that file, it is automatically recreated. 2) You would still be able to empty your trash. What is the error message you are receiving?
    Open Terminal. Post the output of the following command:
    cat /private/var/db/volinfo.database

  • 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!

  • My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?

    I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
    I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information.

    How can I make my Apple tv remote stop interacting with my MacBook and my iMac? Everytime I press the reote, the sound will go up or down on my computers or they will wake up.

    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)
    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)

    Thanks, Rich

    In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf  type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.
