No remote control of Playbook OS 2.0 with handheld 9780

Am I missing something here?
I spent 2.5 hours trying every configuration I can think of and still no option for remote control of my Playbook using the handheld. Yes, I did attempt to follow the PDF instructions first, and second, and... Then just gave up and started deleting apps, re-installing apps, re-initiating pairings, etc.
Remote control of the Playbook appears to be a missed target for RIM.

How my bb and pb work well and now issues. maybe something in not correctly setup. are there any other devices running on Bluetooth while using the remote application?

  • Remote control's volume doesn't work with external soundcard

    I use an external EDIROL FA-101 firewire soundcard connected to my macbook. Ofcourse I listen to music and watch movies with my computer just like we all do. But the problem is, that I can't control volume using apple remote. It only works for the integrated soundcard. It probably isn't hard for it to control volume of the iTunes, instead of the main volume (which doesn't control my external soundcard's volume). It just isn't comfortable at all (and I'm not going to use the integrated soundcard, because of what it sounds like).

    I'm not sure there's anything we can do for you here. You may be able to do something with an additional remote, like a bluetooth phone and Salling Clicker, to execute AppleScripts to control the volume control on your card.

  • Your thoughts.. lack of functionality Apple Universal Dock Remote Control

    Most of us that toy around with the a/v out capabilities of the Touch are aware that standard remote control functionality is not currently available with the Apple Universal Dock remote. I can understand how mapping the multi-touch functionality to the remote's 'standard iPod wheel' functionality is like mapping apples (no pun intended) to oranges. But, I would imagine a firmware update could do the trick. However, I think it would be really cool (and expensive) to create a mini multi-touch remote.
    I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
    I have posted my enhancement request, firmware upgrade first.. new remote second... to Apple's feedback site... please send in your comments if you feel the same way I do... they do listen...

    What happens when you try to use the remote with an iPod touch in an Apple Universal Dock? I'd been thinking of getting Apple's dock/remote, especially because the features guide says,
    You can connect iPod touch to your TV and watch your videos on the larger screen. Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, or other iPod touch compatible cable. You can also use these cables with the Apple Universal Dock, available separately, to connect iPod touch to your TV. (The Apple Universal Dock includes a remote, which allows you to control playback from a distance.)
    Does the remote have only limited function, then? What does the remote do, or not do?

  • I dont' get why remote control is so importand with scripts

    I've got my dvd working, but i just don't get why the remote control menu so important is.
    the situation i'm having is:
    I've got an play all button (when it is hit it gets the value 1)
    when you push the menu button on the remote, the pre-script gets rid of the value 1 and turns it in to value 0
    with value 0 you can look at a track and after that it goes back to the menu, value 1 makes sure that after track 1, track 2 is being played.
    But when someone is playing the 'play all' (value 1) and hits the menu button for a pauze and hits it again to play where he was. you get the value 0.
    When you say in the inspector under remote control -> menu -> menu1:button1 he stays with the value 1. although you have been in de menu..
    Hope someone can give me a answer.

    It all depends on how you access the menu. Pre-scripts are good in lots of situations, but can be bypassed in others. If you have read the article over at
    http://www.editorsbin.com/authoring/playall.html
    towards the bottom I discuss several different scenarios where the play all could get interrupted and you need to think about how you will get around it. Your specific situation is one such issue, and the way around it is to use button values instead of setting values in menu prescripts. You should also try using 'free-standing' scripts - i.e. scripts that are not prescripts, but which do the same job and then send the viewer on to the appropriate menu. By pointing to these you can ensure the value is retained under differetn circumstances each time, and make sure the viewer returns safely back to the 'play all' option they were taking a break from.
    None of this is particularly easy, but it is at least logical! With care you should be able to script a play all from different tracks using any number of menus. If you need a hand with those scripts, let me know.
    Alternatively, have a look here at my blog where I show a different way to achieve the scripted solution.

  • Keynote remote control not linking

    I download a keynore remote control and create a new link with a new 4-digit passcode. but when I open remote perferences in keynote in my Mac, I cannot find my device. So I cannot link the device with keynote.
    My keymote remote control version is 1.3 running on iphone4s (version 6.1.3).  My keynote is 5.3 and Mac is 10.7.5
    Does anyone have any idea?

    I solved it.
    The problem is some port maybe block by wifi supplier, so it cannot be regonized by under same wifi.
    The workaround is to use Ethernet to connect your Mac, then create a network in wifi, then connect your mobile device with the network you created. Then I found my device in the remote list at last.

  • AUDIGY 2 ZS x REMOTE CONTROL

    Hi all.
    A simple question: Is it possible to mak an AUDIGY 2 ZS? work with? the remote control and USB receiver that cames with
    Sound Blaster Audigy 4. Thank you

    OK, let's see, you have a device that is still under warranty. You properly installed said device. You put batteries in the remote but it does not work no matter what you try. It seems to me that you have only one option and you mentioned it in the penultimate sentence in your post.
    Hope it's not a long dri've.:smileyvery-happy:

  • Remote controlling iphone

    Is it possible for me to send data, photos etc. to an iphone where the person who has the iphone can see the data, photos etc appear on their screen, but the data, photos etc. automatically appears on the iphone screen? The recipient of my data, photos etc. would NOT be required to touch the iphone screen (to "open" up my data, photos etc). The recipient would only be able to see what I send them and would not have any control over what I send them.

    Hi there,
    I'm considering buying either a Mac Mini or an Apple TV. My main purpose would be to have a low power consuming lossless music player, which I can control with my iPhone.
    There isn't, imho, a single remote-control app that works so fluently with a musicplayer than iTunes works with my iPhone.
    Now for the questions:
    1. will I get the same interface
    not quite. see this read http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/07/12/app-review-controller-for-itunes-apple-t v/.
    2.if I've paired my Apple TV once, should I re-pair it every time I wanna re-use it (on other days)?
    no. once paired it will stay paired. you just join your network, and connect to the content on your TV.

  • Girder plugin for MSI Vox remote control

    Hi!
    Since I bought a VOX USB2.0 for using in my laptop I found the remote control useless cause it only works with the MSIPVS (that I don't use) and there was no plugin for it.
    So, recently I had some free time and I developed a plugin that allows me to control my pc with this little remote control.
    If there's someone else interested in this plugin I can make it available to download.
    Samuel

    Hi!
    I have installed Christv v4.99, Grider and downloaded config files for VOX on Promixis site (thanks Alexis!!!). I can see that remote will work (have tried some of functions and it works) but my problem is:
    Christv doesn't give me good quality picture like Fly 2000 TV. If I try to change some settings in "Program settings" then it is reflecting to CPU usage! My fun on laptop is very loud when it is hot, so it disturbs me too much 
    I am attaching Print screen from my current settings (pic on Christv is black but not on my PC) but if I change advanced settings for Greedy HM it doesn't remember it after shutting down Christv. If anyone have lower CPU usage and good pic quality with Christv it will be very nice if (s)he post it here
    Sorry for my bad english

  • [solve]android remote control of arch desktop

    Hi.... i have been snooping round aur and found a few packages that claim to work as remote controls of an arch linux box with an android phone... unfortunately, none have been updated in over 12 months, and just dont install or work.... is anyone using any thing successfully?
    Last edited by ninjaprawn (2012-11-19 17:10:28)

    I know this post is solved and getting pretty old but I felt like I should add a few excellent suggestions to the list.
    Splashtop 2 and Teamviewer are both nice programs for controlling ones Arch, or other LINUX desktop, with an Android, they both have apps for the iPhone too.. Splashtop is made for Ubuntu, however it is in the AUR and they also give you the source of course. Http://www.splashtop.com that's my favorite one cuz there's many quality options..
    Also, there is one called wificheema, this one is not in the repositories as I just did a search and was left empty handed. I'm not quite sure if wificheema worked on Arch or not as it's been awhile since I've used it because of it's lack of a quality zoom feature, I believe that was the only issue and for me it was a deal breaker cuz I have a tiny screen on my phone..
    @Maxp, those were brilliant ideas, I have no idea why they never crossed my mind before. So obvious when you think about it.. Thanks for those, I'm definitely gonna give those a shot on my Android cuz there's no splashtop for my model phone.
    Have either of you tried with the RDP app. I used to have it for windows but am not sure if it's for LINUX as well..

  • PlayBook: Dock with HDMI + Remote Control?

    Has anyone a idea, where to buy a dock with hdmi? Always putting cables to the device is so 80s... i want to put it to the dock only.
    Does anyone know, if its planet to sell some kind of a remote control for the PlayBook? I read, some guys are using 30 or 40 ft cables to watch videos across the living room... but thats a bad joke! As an alternative to a hardware remote, i would use vnc-server for PB, but thats not available today.
    Any suggestions?

    I know it was not your question but you can also use your PlayBook as an XBMC remote control:

  • Lenovo AIO C440 - not working infrared remote control

    Hello,
    is there any hint how to get infrared remote control working for a new C440 model? Tomorrow I will try to measure and/or replace batteries which could be bad. For now it is totally not working.
    Another question: the remote should work only within AverMedia TV app or in the whole Windows 8?
    Regards,
    Zdenek

    hi bohdik,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    The IR Windows Media Center remote control is for use with C440 models with optional TV tuner. If you have this model,  make sure the TV Tuner driver and the ITE CIR Driver from the lenovo support site are installed under Device Manager (press Windows Key+R then type devmgmt.msc) then follow  the Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. guide.
    Note:
    You must have Windows 8 PRO to enable Windows Media Center

  • Remote Control and Remote View Problem

    Hi,
    I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
    Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
    We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
    user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
    desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
    When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
    paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
    desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
    I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
    Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
    the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
    users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
    which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
    We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
    computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
    SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
    The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
    changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
    above.
    Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and
    Remote Viewing someone's computer I don't want the desktop wall paper to
    change.
    Thanks!

  • 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?
