Possible to use Directv remote with an Envy Recline?

I have a Envy Recline with a Directv genie reciever connected via HDMI cable. Is it possible to control the volume on the PC with the Directv remote? The Directv tech couldn't get it to work and HP customer support informed me "they don't have the information to help me." Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any help!

Leahneb2, welcome to the forum.
I looked up the remotes on the DIRECTV website. There are two different models. They have both RF (Radio Frequency) and IR (Infrared) capability. It states that they can control up to 4 components, such as, DTV Receiver, TV, DVD player and VCR. There is no mention of using them with a laptop computer. This leads me to believe that it most likely is not possible. They ususally make a major point of listing computers if it is possible to interact with them.
Also, I reviewed the specifications for the DTV Genie Receiver and don't see any way to control the sound for the laptop from it.

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.

Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

Hi ,
I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
(1) waking the macbook with apple remote
(2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
(3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
(4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .
Thanks

Hi suresh,
as mentioned here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
and

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

Is it possible to use variant configuration (with a Non-SAP solution) when creating ERP sales orders in SAP CRM WebUI

Hello,
our customer plans to use a Non-SAP solution for variant configuration (Camos) in SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) and in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 as well.
ERP sales orders (and ERP quotations) should be created in SAP CRM (CRM WebUI).
Is it possible to use variant configuration (with an external variant configuration tool) when creating ERP sales orders and quotations in the SAP CRM WebUI or do we have to implement SAP IPC for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AEV

Dear AEV,
I think LORD (lean orders) should work with variant configuration as well. In the note 1236015 there is not restriction listed. However you need lord2 activated in ECC, and ECC system should be on EHP4.
Best regards
Rene

HT204378 2 iOS8.1.1 devices can't connect via BT "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth" - HT6112

I'm unable to get to iOS devices to connect via Bluetooth for Keynote control. It's described above under the heading "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth". Am I missing something? I see the article mentions iOS8 so I know it's been updated recently. I also see that this hasn't worked in the past. Curious that the articles suggests it can be done now.
I have 3 iOS devices all 8.1.1.
iPhone 5
iPhone 5s
iPad 3rd Gen
Thanks,
Russell

Just talked to Bose and learned the solution.
Reset the speaker ....hold down the bluetooth button until you hear a tone. Delete the Bose in the Bluetooth Device directory on the iPad. When it is automatically rediscovered it will connect.
Worked for me .....

Is it possible to use Speech Recognition with Final Cut Studio?

Is it possible to use Speech Recognition with Final Cut Studio?
Using either Speech, AppleScript, Automator or a 3rd party app
like iListen, can I enable Final Cut Studio apps to respond
to voice commands?
(e.g. I say "I" in Final Cut Pro and it sets an in point)
thanks

Yes, I wish "Make it really good" and "Fix my rough cut"
were commmands too
I did hear from the folks at iListen that
they are planning on releasing a ScriptPak
for Final Cut Studio next year which could be
cool
and that yes, iListen has some capability to
integrate Speech Recognition with Final Cut,
guess I need to give it a try for a test ride

I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes

I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes and only let's me see the current playlist on the iPod only

You can only sync to one computer.
You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

The following is the basic procedure to extend one 802.11n AirPort with another:
AEBSn - Extending a wireless network Setup
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

IS it possible to use ni-visa with lookout to use an instrument driver

IS it possible to use ni-visa with lookout to use an instrument driver,, or just use the insturment driver...
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
NI-VISA is a driver layer that is used to communicate to Serial, GPIB, VXI and PXI platform.
In reality the drivers that you use with Lookot do not make use of this driver layer called VISA (which is used for the most part in the instrument control area).
Normally the terminology (Instrument Driver) is not used in Lookout (or in any SCADA system). So the answer for your question is no, you cannot use NI-VISA with Lookout, with Lookout you either use the drivers object that comes with the package or you use an OPC server (normaly provided by the hardware manufacturer, this hardware is normally a PLC) to provide data to Lookout.
I hope it helps
