Problem getting Remote Control to work at

I've just installed an X-Fi Platinum and everyting went well. Sound works great.
I do have one problem. The remote does not seem to do anything at all. I DO have the batteries in it, and they ARE in the right way, but pointing it at the I/O reciever from inches away gets no response at all.
Now, I DID download the latest X-Fi driver from this site to install the hardware (rather than the installation CD). I checked the installation CD though for any additional software and found the Creative Media Source software. I installed that.
Still, nothing. The ports and volume knobs on the front of my I/O box work fine, so I do believe that is hooked up fine.
Is there some OTHER piece of software I am supposed to install? Or any other ideas?

Nope, the installer does not work because it looks like it was DESIGNED to prevent you from installing it from outside of the installer application.
The Solution:
Uninstall the LATEST X-Fi drivers from the website here.
Insert CD Rom
Install the OLDER version of the drivers.
Evidently the 40MB download for the current drivers does not contain all the 'extra' programs that come with the driver on the CD. To make things worse, you cannot install the additional applications from the CD (there are no menu options for them).
However, when I install the X-Fi driver from the CD-ROM, then a TON of extra programs (including the CONSOLE!!!) got installed as well. I had no options which to install or not, it just does them ALL.
A couple of suggestions for Creative:
) Add ALL of the software required to run the hardware deli'vered in the box to the downloads/support sections here.
2) On your installation CD, seperate out your X-Fi DRIVER file from all of the extra files. Then someone can find the software they need to run thier hardware, without doing un-obvious things like uninstalling the newer driver and installing older ones with hidden software packages included (which were NOT included in the newer driver package)...

Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

We're running:
-XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
-We are NOT running Middle Tier.
-Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
-Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
Thanks in advance.

> 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
You could try this TID:
"A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
"Resolution"
"This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
Network Address again."

The remote controls stopped working

I bought with an official Apple dealer the new i Pod Shuffle (generation 3) to use during my bike rides. After the first ride the remote controls stopped working and the voice over feature spontaneously started repeating the songs title. As well the volume control stopped working altogether. I didn't have time to return the Shuffle after only a week so I disable the voice over feature and keep on using my Shuffle with no volume adjustment, fast forward etc ….
After a visit to the Apple website I saw that several owners complained about this problem and assumed Apple would know about it and be ready to offer a fast solution. So picked an official Service Center as close as possible from my location.
First shock the Service Center was dirty, the paint obviously several decades old and faded, the light kept to the minimum.
Second shock not Tech on duty to check something as simple as a headsets. I realized there was no way to have a fast resolution to my problem. The Shuffle will be send to a regional repair center, I could have save the trip and just go to an Apple dealer. What the use to have Service Centers if they don't provide service?
Now when a product is returned, after 25 days of ownership (can't say use), a product designed by a company with the reputation of Apple you expect some kind of sign that the company is sorry, stands behind it's product and will do all possible to solve the problem. WRONG.
Third shock. The person who took my Shuffle obviously never saw a Shuffle generation 3 before or even knew it existed. She explained over and over that I may (but it sounded more like I will) be charge for the repair. Even asked me to pay upfront a basic fee to cover the time of a Tech checking on the product. And that the Tech will give me a quote if I am to be charged. Furthermore She found tons of reasons why eventually I would be charged to repair the product, however no technical person ever checked on the product. Well I guess only users read messages on Apple website not employees of Apple.
So what now? I am suppose to receive an E-mail in 24 hours to 5 working days, in which I'll be explained the result of the Tech investigation.
I guess most owners of Apple products have a better experience with the Customer Service or where the reputation of Apple being a “cool” company comes from? But based on my experience it looks like Apple's products and Apple's Customer Service may not meet Apple's reputation or customer's expectations. Or am I asking for too much?

I seriously doubt you were at an Apple Store and you were not dealing with Apple employees. You were dealing with a 3rd party shop that does work on Apple products.
Don't know where you are located but you could contact Customer Service at Apple and complain but they are somewhat limited it dealing with a 3rd party company. But they will at least have you complaint on file. Or you could attempt to find an actual Apple Store and take your Shuffle there. Or you could try one of the workarounds listed on the threads here.

Remote control stopped working on MacBook Pro

I have two MacBokk Pros (2008 and 2011), with two remote controls that worked fine and interchangeable until about a week ago. Now both remotes work only on the older one of our computers, but not on the newer one. I have looked into the Security prefs panel, "Disable Infrared Receiver" is unchecked, "this computer will work with any available remote control" is shown underneath - everything look like it was before.
Holding "Menu" and "Fast Forward" to pair the remote produces no results after 5 seconds or more.
I also did the the "iSight test" mentioned elsewhere in this forum, the batteries in both remotes are fine and sending a signal.
That leads me to suspect there might be a problem with the infrared receiver. But is that a hardware or software issue and what should be done next, considering that I'm about 200 miles from the next Apple store?

Thank you! Yes, I've seen this troubleshooting page and followed those suggestion, that's where I also found the remote control battery test mentioned above.

Having a real problem getting my vi to work - great difficulty running sequence as desired

Hi
I am have a real problem getting my vi to work as required.
I would like the my vi (EXAMPLE.vi in the vi library attached) to run continuously. It should update the graphs on the front pannel and also save data to file when requested using the save data to file button. (I have written a sub vi. to deal with this data handling and file saving which run in two while loops with the vi as can be seen on inspection of the block diagram)
Now, what I would like is for the updating to pause whenever I change any of the settings on the front panel (which are controls in the first half of the sequence of the vi) so the hardware is reset. As it is at the moment I have to stop the vi to change the front panel settings and then restart it in order for the first part of the sequence to run and re-set the values on the hardware.
I guess I need to use some kind of event driven programming an event stucture or something like that. This is quite advanced and I don't know how to implement it.
Can anybody offer any Ideas.
Many many thanks
Ashley

Remote Control does work with Sylvania Color TV/DVD Model 6520FDF

I cannot get the remote control to work the volume on a Sylvania Color TV/DVD Model 6520FDF TV. Can anybody help me?

Have you tried the scan mode to scan for the proper code?
TV/DVD combo units are notoriously hard to program to universal remotes. So if you did a scan and none of them worked then the likelihood is that the remote just will not work with that unit. If you have not tried a scan, here is the instructions to do so.
WHAT IF NONE OF THE CODES WORKED?
If none of the codes worked, try the following procedure. (As before, we will use the example of a TV. For other devices use the appropriate Device Key instead of the TV key in step 2 and 3.) 1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press and hold the TV key.
3. While holding down the TV key, press OK. 4. Release both keys. The Device Keys will blink twice.5. Press 9 - 2 - 2. 6. Point the remote at the TV.
7. Press PLAY.8. Press FASTFORWARD (FF). Every time you press FF the remote sends out a new power-off command to the TV. Keep pressing FF until the TV turns off. (You can press REWIND to go back.) 9. When the TV turns off, you have found the right code. Press OK to store this code. Note: There are over 300 TV and DVD codes. The most common codes are tried first, but you may still need to press over 300 times to find the right code. If you reach the end of the list of codes the entire remote will flash twice and return to normal operation. You can exit programming at any time by pressing Exit.

Error exists between keyboard and chair.

What remote controls will work with the iMac 27inch.

Okay I hung the new iMac on the wall in my kitchen. Used the apple adapter I have a little apple remote control that works the dvd player fine. Of course the wireless keyboard and the wireless mouse work fine. I have an elgato tuner because this iMac is my dvr/tv does anyone have a remote that will work the iMac as a dvd and work the elgato hybrid tuner. Just trying to make this simple. Thanks

iTunes itself, that is it's built-in remote speaker function, will work only with an Airport Express. There may be other wireless speakers that have their own drivers or transmitter; someone else here may be able to make a recommendation.

More changes to get remote browser functionality working for MXUnit.
Need to copy http client jars from trunk/lib to trunk/qa/lib as part of the build. The http client jars are used by MXUnit when the remote browser, browser factory is being used.
Also need to copy xalan.jar from trunk/lib to trunk/qa/lib now as William recently made changes to MXUnit that added a dependency on xalan.jar.
In mxunit/build.xml made the browserFactory class for the MXUnit task use a property called mxunitBrowserFactory so different browser factories can now be passed in.

Ah, interesting. Here's what I get when I boot with the old GeForce 7300 plugged in.
System Profiler shows no extensions with "ATI" in the name. I'm not sure if this is to be expected though. Does System Profiler -> Software -> Extensions display the kexts installed on the system, or only those that the kernel decided to load at boot time? If the latter, I guess I wouldn't expect to see them. If the former, then might there be some registration step I need to do to tell the system that the ATI kexts are present and able to be loaded?
As for the presence of the extensions, if I look in /System/Library/Extensions, I find the following files when I do an 'ls -lF | grep ATI'...
ATI1300Controller.kext
ATI1600Controller.kext
ATI1900Controller.kext
ATI2400Controller.kext
ATI2600Controller.kext
ATI3800Controller.kext

ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle

So lots of ATI-related goodies. The dates are all either Aug 2 or Aug 6, so I'm guessing they came with the Snow Leopard Graphics Update, which I think was released just after those dates.
I'm getting ready to return the card and try another, but will hold off another day or two, since it still seems plausible that there might be a software issue lurking...
Thanks again for your help,

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?
I keep getting "cannot find PC" entering IP or PC name
but as a test I have set up my PC to do web hosting, and I can browse to the IP address using desktop IE and see my local web pages.
I've just found a reference that says it has to be Business Vista.
Why would Microsoft put such a STUPID restriction in?
I think this Surface thing is going to go back if so.
What about Win8 64 Pro? Will that work?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, windows 8 pro can connect to surface 2. There is detailed article guide for it, please check below link.

Getting remote control 438483-001 to work in Win7

I have recently upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 premium (clean install).
Now my remote control which came with my dv9770ea laptop (P/N 438483-001) does not work. Batteries checked, the remote's green light flashes when pushing a button, AND when using Windows Media Centre the image/sound stalls for a split second when pushing some of the buttons. The card remote RC1762302/00 that also came with the laptop does work without problems. Hence I am confused. Apparently the infrared receiver does work for the above two reasons. However I'd like to use the remote and expect I need a driver update for it.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Remote control not working on Touchsmart 610-1030uk

Had been working fine for long time. Now out of warranty. Battery fine. Indicator on remote and on PC (white LED on front panel) both show IR is working. Mouse and keyboard still work fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers for Microsoft eHome infrared transceiver but still can't get the machine to respond to remote control.
Any thoughts?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello frrw. Sorry to waste your time. I changed the batteries and it works fine. It seems the red LED on the remote and the white LED on the PC that flashes when I press a button on the remote do not mean that the batteries are strong enough.
Meanwhile I have that recurring problem with blu-ray players. I will post a new question and maybe you can help.
Many thanks.

Problem with remote control and Windows 7 - HP Pavilion 6301eu

I installed Windows 7 32-bit and my remote control does not work. I have tried all possible drivers and still nothing ... Photo driver attached. Does anyone have a link to the current drivers for the remote control and Windows 7? thank you

Hi John:
Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Win2k8 Remote Control Not Working With SRSS 4.2 + SRWC 2.2

Hi there.
I have an install of Windows Server 2008 (32bit) with SRSS 4.2 & SRWC 2.2 setup. I was previously on SRSS 4.1 & SRWC 2.1 and having the same issue I am having now, which to me tells me this problem is unresolved or i'm being a total muppet. (hopefully not the last one)
Windows Terminal Server environments has this awesome remote control feature where you can login to an RDP session which is already active and take control of the session while the end user is still logged in.With Server 2003 this works perfectly fine- it's brilliant. WIth 2008 it is a nightmare. It works for a split second and then closes off. The end users session also gets locked out (not logged out) and they have to put their windows credentials in to carry on working again.
Now... I can remote control users who are logging in via Remote Desktop on Windows XP/Vista etc.. but I can't with the Sun Ray Sessions. Does the SRWC 2.2 fully compatible with RDP 6.1 or is there any information anyone can give me to point me in the right direction of resolving this issue, like I said.. Win 2k3- Works like a dream....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
- Joe.

I just realised I hadn't posted the logs from SRSS Server with the issues. I have just tried on another WIN2K8 Server which wasn't configured by myself or my company and the same symptoms occurred. See logs below:
