Problems with IR remote after 10.5.6 & 10.5.7

Hi guys,
I am just trying to find out if anyone else is having a problem with the apple remotes since the last few OSX updates.
The problem I have
Apple remote fails to respond to any input.
The IR reciver is still present in the system profiler and is not disabled in security system pref.
The only way I have found to resolve this is to reset the PRAM (+BTW I'm impressed this works with a bluetooth keyboard+)
I have had this problem on 2 different iMac 24" Core2's and a mac mini.
It seems to happen sporadically. I have tried pairing remotes but this doesn't help.
This is an annoying problem as these Macs are mostly used as media centres via frontrow or Plex
Anyone else seeing this behaviour got any ideas why it is happening?

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • Problem with the workbook after upgrade

    Hi all,
    We are facing some problems with the workbooks after BW 3.5 Upgrade.e.g. some templates are disturbed, some variables have been affected. So I have few doubts --
    1. What could be the possible reason behind this?
    2. What exactly got changed in the system which reflected this problems?
    3. What other problems might have occurred which we may not have noticed?
    4. How can I find out the number of workbooks affected due to this?

    Dear ,
    This is known issue:
    Please implement the below mentioned note as this will solve your issue,

  • Problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file.

    *Subject: problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file, i can't see my blog, nor my photos, but before that all was working fine.*
    After the publication in the local file, I see all my pages, but there is a mistake on the page "Blog" where I just can see the top of my page, it's cut and I can't see it entirely, so I can't see the inputs while I should see 3 news or 3 inputs. And it's the same for the "Photos" page where the page is cut, I can't see the photos, and it's just written : "Put the slide show and subscribe".To finish, when I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    Please help me.

    I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    The comments feature is only available when you publish to the MobileMe server, so I don't think you can use it when you publish to a local file.

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac? 

    Peggy
    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)

    Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
    my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
    This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
    I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
    Any advice ?

    fair enough.  No need for any unnecessary posts either.  You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
    In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

  • Strange problem with purple-remote

    Hi, I experience a strange problem with purple-remote (program which allow to control Pidgin via D-Bus) :
    To get the current status message, you have to type
    $ purple-remote getstatusmessage
    This works, but when I type
    $ echo $(purple-remote getstatusmessage)
    this fails with the error
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/purple-remote", line 238, in <module>
    print output
    UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)
    Why?
    How can this program work in the first case but not in the second?
    Thank you
    Edit: BTW, is there a workaround to put the output of `purple-remote getstatusmessage' in a variable? $(), redirections and piping doesn't work.

    Hi Andyh,
    Welcome to the forum.  How annoying does that sound, if I had to get up every time I wanted to change channel or volume I would crack up.
    Drop me an email to [email protected], please include your BT account details and I will see what can be done to help.

    My computer crashes repeatedly and I get the message pages are not responding do you want to stop, and/or shockwave is not responding do you want to stop. I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows  which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.
