  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

  • Controlling TV Speakers Indirectly with Apple Remote via System Volume

    My Mac Mini is connected to a Sony TV via an HDMI cable.  I would like to control the volume of the TV speakers indirectly by controlling the Mac Mini system volume with my Apple remote.  But when I attempt to change the volume the speaker icon appears and is grayed out.
    What do I need to do in order to control the TV speakers indirectly with my Apple Remote by adjusting the Mac Mini system volume?

    As standard Macs do not support controlling the volume of an attached TV connected to the HDMI port. This feature is called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
    There is at least one adaptor which can 'insert' the CEC commands, see http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx
    This adaptor however requires the software you are using to have support for driving this adaptor, therefore it does not look like the generic Mac volume control in association with the Apple remote would control it. Why you ask did I mentioned it then? Well XBMC (XBox Media Center) for the Mac does supprt this adaptor, you can therefore use XBMC on the Mac to play movies to your TV and control the volume of the TV.
    If you can write software, you could also in theory use their library to add a more generic volume control.

  • Mac mini server with Apple remote

    Hi,
    Bought my mac mini server november last year, and much to my surprise, with it came an Apple remote. Not the latest one but the flat all-white one.
    This weekend I have redeployed the mini in my house and want to start using Frontrow, however my remote does not seem to work with the mini.
    I have tested the remote with a number of other maca and atvs, there it works fine.
    Any pointers appreciated
    Pim

    That is really strange, the remote is not list as being in the box on the Mac mini Server's Specs page!
    I believe it used to be, there was definitely a pre-formed space for it in the box
    Have you checked the battery since it is an old model?
    I mentioned i worked perfect with any of the other Macs in the house
    You can use Mac Help in the Help menu of the Finder. Go to Index>A>Apple Remote for troubleshooting and pairing instructions.
    Not sure if this is the issue, since the server version does not have an optical drive, I was wondering if it has an IR eye

  • Slideshows in LR 2.7 on Apple MacBook Pro with Apple Remote

    Hi
    I am making a presentation on next Monday evening using my MacBook and a hi-resolution projector.  I should like to use a Lightroom slideshow, but I can't find a way of using an Apple Remote to control the slideshow.  If anyone has any experience of doing this and can help. I'd be mighty grateful.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Does the Apple rmeote have a config where you can assign gestures to keystrokes?  Then you could remap things. Check the web for hacks that some folks have come up with to facilitate this. (e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Remote)
    Otherwise, the Apple remote is really only understood by certain Apple applications via an OS service. You'd be better off just buying a presentation controller of some kind.  These are very common and not too expensive.

  • IMac (Mountain Lion) does not pair with Apple Remote

    Hi,
    my iMac (2009, Mountain Lion) does pair with my remote. Otherwise the remote (or remotes, I tried two) are working fine with the iMac, it just wont pair.
    I need it to pair as I have an iMac and MPB and each having its own remote (each computer should react only to its remote, not the other computer remote)
    I googled this extensively, here is what I did so far:
    - obviously, trying the normail "pair remote" procedure as the support page says
    - checking that infrared remote pairing is enabled and no other remote is currenly paired
    - restarting Mac OS
    - removing and reinsterting battery in remote
    - making sure I am an Admin
    - disabling the remote function in Plex and killing all Plex (and EyeTV and similar) processes via Activity Monitor (thought they might somehow limite the OS control over the remote)
    - tried the same with another remote (does not pair as well)
    This is very annoying.
    Can anyone help out?
    Much appreciated

    Hi den,
    Does the remote remember which computer it is paired to? I though only the computer remebers that.
    In any case, currently there is not remote paired to any computer (both computers have clean new Mountain Lion installations). And I cannot pair any remote to any of my machines. In between, I tried with the laptop as well, and it is not pairing as well. I also tried an (old, still working) third remote... nothing is happening.
    Some apps seem to take control of the remote (e.g. pressing menu start Plex on my systems). Could that be the issue? Is there a Terminal command to give Mac OS back full control over the remote?
    Or could it be something else? 'Is there an app for that' a la ForcePair.app?
    Thank you
    p.s. this is the page that I was refering to ealier, not working for me

  • Is it possible to connect to a Windows computer with Apple Remote Desktop?

    Hey!
    I just bought Apple's Remote Desktop program and I love it!
    The only problem I have is that I can't just conncect to a Windows computer.
    I need to do this!!
    I saw in a screenshot in the Mac App Store that the Apple Employey had connected to a Windows computer so I thought it would work just fine.
    Thanks!

    Should be, though I have no personal experience using it. VNC seems to be touchy with ARD, so if Vine doesn't work, you might want to try another version. Or just use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or a service such as LogMeIn; those would give you the same capabilities and probably be less fuss and bother.
    Regards.

  • Can't Observer Pismo PowerBooks with Apple Remote Desktop 3.0

    Today I installed ARD3.0 on a Dual G5 2GHz PowerMac and went through the process of Manage>Update Client Software on all Macs on the LAN: G5 Quad, 2 x Pismo G3 PowerBooks, G4-733 and a Dual G4-500.
    All updates were successful after enabling ALL Privileges of the ARD 2 clients. However when I try to Observe/Control either of the Pismo PowerBooks, the connection times out with a "Connection Failed" message.
    I can access all the other functions, like Update software, reporting and Spotlight (AFAIK)
    There are no problems on the G4s or the G5 Quad. All function seem to working as advertised.
    ALL comps are at Tiger 10.4.6.
    The only difference in the network connections is that the all the G4s and G5s are on a Gigabit Switch, and the Pismos are on a 100Mb switch - The Gb switch is up-linked to the 100Mb switch, which uplinks to the router.
    Any help or suggestions on how to get the Observe/Contol functions working on the Pismos would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • With Apple Remote Desktop How can I change all the computer names

    After a re-imaging session?. I would like to not have to visit each station and manually change the computer name.
    Is this at all possible using ARD?

    Hi
    I don't use DeployStudio and know nothing about it. In terms of simply changing the names? Yes. Clearly not in the same way. You could use what's built-in on OSX Server if you have it? System Image Utility allows creation of nbis with an associated workflow that can define workstation names from a pre-prepared list of MAC Addresses and desired names as a Post-Install Action.
    This is fairly well-documented in the Server Forum and elsewhere.

  • Can apple remote desktop be used to assist someone with cognitive disabilities to type on a computer in a different city?

    Question:  Can Apple Remote Desktop be used to assist someone with cognitive disability to type on an Imac in another city?

    You can read about the features of Apple Remote Desktop for yourself and decide whether it would be of help:
    http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
    I can't see how it would help anyone type on a Mac, remote or not, disability or not, but perhaps you have assistance in mind that I'm not envisioning.

  • Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

    Hi ,

    (2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
    (3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote

    Hi suresh,
    as mentioned here:

    and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
    you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
    usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
    Good Luck
