Remote for powerpc mini?

Do apple sell the frontrow remote/reciever as an optional extra for older macs?
i have a powerpc g4 1.5ghz mini and wanted to know if I could get a remote for it.
Originally I didn't think i was missing much by not having it but i recently got a macbook which of course includes frontrow and the remote and i must admit the remote is quite nice for using with itunes so was wandering if they did a remote with a reciever that plugged into the usb or something.

No… they will never do this as a reason to upgrade to a new Mac. Apple marketing would never let them do it.

  • HT4352 I lost my remote for apple tv and would like to use my ipad mini as the remote.  Is this possible?

    I am not sure if I can program or whatever my ipad mini to use as the renote for our apple tv.  We cannot find the remote and I thought I read somewhere tht one can set up their ipad device to act as a remote for apple tv.  I could be wrong.  Maybe it means sharing some other thisngs between computers but not usinghte ipad as a remote for apple tv.  Any information abou this mater would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    scima

    Only if you've already setup home-sharing on ATV and both are on the same network.
    The remote app is available from the App Store

  • HT1338 Why can't I install Leopard for PowerPC on my old Mac Mini?

    Why can't I install Leopard for PowerPC on my old Mac Mini? The massage "This can not be installed on this computer" appears.

    My thoughts are that your difficulties could be one of these:
    your non-retail DVD may only work on a very limited range of Mac minis
    the installer may not like your new RAM
    the installer may not like the language change especially if the disk has not been erased first
    I have seen a little evidence for 3 in the code of other Leopard install DVDs - they appear to have less stringent language checks for erased volumes. Whilst I have never modified model specific installers I have modified retail installers to ignore speed and RAM checks.
    My advice:
    back up your whole mini hard disk to an external disk - see notes
    erase the hard disk and partition into 2 volumes with Leopard install DVD
    try to install Leopard on one volume
    put original OS on the other volume
    Notes:
    Carbon Copy Cloner can be used to backup the whole hard disk
    ensure the mini can be booted from the external disk before you erase the internal disk

  • Remote for itunes on shared library

    Hello.
    On my mac mini in the living room is attached a USB drive with all music for itunes. The remote app on IOS works fine for this mini.
    In my office on the same lan I have a mini which uses home sharing to see that library. However its headless straight into a hifi.
    For the life of me I cannot owrk out how I can play music from the home share through this mini, is it possible? All the remote app shows is the few songs it has in its native library.
    Any help appriciated because it seems to detract from the point of the home share thing.

    Hi Gary,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You should be able to access your Home Sharing library with Remote by pairing the two using these steps:
    Pair Remote with your Home Sharing network
    To use Remote 2.0 (or later) with Home Sharing, every iTunes library you want to control must have Home Sharing turned on. For more information, see Use Home Sharing to import items from another iTunes library.
    Tap Remote on your device’s Home screen.
    Tap Settings.
    Tap to turn Home Sharing on.
    Type your Apple ID and password, and tap Done.
    Tap the iTunes library or Apple TV you want to control.
    For more information, see the Remote Support website.
    You can find these steps and more information here:

  • Remote for iTunes in a Two-PC Network

    I've added the "Remote for iTunes" app to my new Android-based phone; but, it's iTunes on my wife's PC that recognizes the application rather than mine. Home sharing is turned on. Windows 7 on both laptops.
    Suggestions as to how to go about changing the arrangement, so that my iTunes is the one that recognizes the remote phone app?
    Thanks very much.

    Not sure if this solution has been discussed.. I try to read the other posts, but am short on time.
    I too have had issues where the apps would not be updated even when tethered through iTunes. I was finally able to resolve this problem by restoring the phone... which seems to wipe the phones operating system clean.
    Just deleting the individual apps and trying to have itunes reinstall them doesn't seem to work, (I've tried that method first), because the problem seems to be a glitch in the OS... that no app can hurdle over.
    This is by far the longest way of fixing the problem but it seemed to work for me. So backup the phone, then press the "restore" button...
    Hopefully that helps.

  • Hard disk not detected - powerpc mini

    I bought my powerpc mini back in 2005 and had no problems until recently. One night my (less than year old) apple keyboard started typing plus signs repeatedly when I wasn't touching it, and the mouse stopped responding. I dragged out an older apple keyboard which had a couple of defective keys but was working ok, and the mouse worked again as well when I hooked it up to this keyboard.
    Today I bought a brand new apple keyboard (the aluminum one) but when I connected it to the mini, neither the keyboard nor the mouse were detected. I tried using a 7-port USB hub whose ports light up when they're active - all lights were on, even on ports that had nothing hooked up. Keyboard and mouse were still not responding, so I was forced to hard boot the mac with the power button.
    When it booted back up, it only got to the dreaded flashing question mark. I tried again several times, same thing. I put in my OSX install disk 1 to see if I could run Disk First Aid. I got that open but it doesn't even see the HDD. It sees it on the left margin of the Disk First Aid menu but the options to Repair Disk etc are grayed out. I tried rebooting and running the extended Hardware test, this said everything was fine, including the hard disk. Finally I tried reinstalling OSX but when it asks for a destination disk, there's no disk listed - so, again it's not even recognizing the hard disk.
    Where do I go from here? This system is no longer under warranty. Is it garbage now, or should I take it to a repair shop to get the hard disk replaced? Or is the system board the cause? Based on my experience supporting Windoze PC's I'd have to guess that the system board is pooched...
    One more question: I bought an extra gig stick of RAM for this machine a year ago, can it be used on a newer mac if this one is toast and I have to buy a newer one, say an imac?

    Try running fsck.
    1. Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down.
    2. At the command line type the following and hit 'Return.'
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    3. If it finds a problem and repairs it, immediately run fsck again until the drive checks OK.
    4. After it has check/repaired your disk, type 'reboot' and hit 'Return' again. Unit should bootup normally.
    Also, your RAM will not work in a new iMac. It's to slow.

    As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it.  So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
    The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it.  Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information.  Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
    When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

  • JMS unable to connect MQ after idling for 10 min

    Hi,
    I have come up with a working Async/Sync interface which is MQ->XI->RFC->CRM and CRM->RFC->XI->MQ again.
    I sent several messages to create tickets in CRM and CRM created the tickets successfully and sent back reponses back to MQ. MQ received the reponses messages.
    The problem is that after sending the messages, I waited for 10min or so and I started to send messages to create tickets in CRM. The tickets are again created successfully and tried to send the reponses messages to the receiver MQ but in the Communication Channel Monitoring, error is shown:
    Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Connector for ConnectionProfile of channel: MQ_XML_Receiver_CC2on node: 74922450 having object id: 05e949939d4c3a649aa55b273caa390b encountered error: MQJMS2007: failed to send message to MQ queue in sending to destination queue:///MCLCT.INVESTIGATION.XML.01?targetClient=1, the message message: JMS Message class: jms_text  JMSType:         null  JMSDeliveryMode: 2  JMSExpiration:   0  JMSPriority:     4  JMSMessageID:    null  JMSTimestamp:    1192218203185  JMSCorrelationID:470bb330-f40a-01ab-0000-000081b0b8e9  JMSDestination:  queue:///MCLCT.INVESTIGATION.XML.01?targetClient=1  JMSReplyTo:      null  JMSRedelivered:  false  JMSXDeliveryCount:0 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <InvestigationUpdateXML_DT><INVESTIGATION_UPDATE><LW_INVEST_N Another 162 character(s) omitted: javax.jms.JMSException: MQJMS2007: failed to send message to MQ queue
    So I have to stop the particular JMS channel and start it again in order to send messages over to the receiver MQ.
    Anyone has an idea why is it so? Is it a MQ problem or JMS adapter problem existing on the XI part?
    Appreciate if someone can give some acruate info to solve the hassle of restarting communication channel everytime.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have identified that the problem lies with sending messages to remote queue.
    For local queue, I am able to send messages anytime. Eg. sending 10 messages, wait for 30 min and send another 5. The JMS communication channel works fine.
    For remote queue, I sent 10 messages and wait for just 5 min and sent another 1. The communication channel again threw out such error message again. In short, it is unable to put the message in MQ. I have to restart the com channel again, in order to send the message over to MQ.
    Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Connector for ConnectionProfile of channel: MQ_XML_Receiver_CC2on node: 74922450 having object id: 05e949939d4c3a649aa55b273caa390b encountered error: MQJMS2007: failed to send message to MQ queue in sending to destination queue:///MCLCT.INVESTIGATION.XML.01?targetClient=1, the message message: JMS Message class: jms_text JMSType: null JMSDeliveryMode: 2 JMSExpiration: 0 JMSPriority: 4 JMSMessageID: null JMSTimestamp: 1192218203185 JMSCorrelationID:470bb330-f40a-01ab-0000-000081b0b8e9 JMSDestination: queue:///MCLCT.INVESTIGATION.XML.01?targetClient=1 JMSReplyTo: null JMSRedelivered: false JMSXDeliveryCount:0 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <InvestigationUpdateXML_DT><INVESTIGATION_UPDATE><LW_INVEST_N Another 162 character(s) omitted: javax.jms.JMSException: MQJMS2007: failed to send message to MQ queue
    So is there any way to configure the JMS adapter to connect the MQ as it wish with success and send the messages anytime of the day? The MQ queue admin has decided to use remote queue and it's hard to convince them to switch to local queues and I am not an expert on MQ technologies, I can't list out the pros and cons of having local queues.
    Regards.

    PS: Appreciate if anyone can give some pointers.

  • Remote for B540 AIO

    Hi all,
    I purchased a B540 AIO last month. But I still could not figure out what is the remote for. The remote model is RC2604327. The configuration number for the PC is 57311751. The remote doesn't seem like working with the PC at all.
    I called the tech support, and was told that the remote is supposed to work with TV tuner only. Since my PC doesn't have TV tuner, so it won't work. But I simply could not understand, why Lenovo send me a remote in the package that they know it won't work. And eventually it's piece of garbage that I can't throw into trash can for environmental reason. Lenovo is still selling the same PC with the same remote in configuration. Detail could be found at http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...
    Anyway, all these don't sound reasonable to me. I am wondering, is it true? Or actually I got a defective IR remote?
    Thanks,
    -Shane

    hi faint2die,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
    The tech support representative is right, the remote control model # RC2604327 is for the TV Tuner (see 23 of User's Guide on how it works - also, the TV tuner is an add-in for B540 selected models).
    If you're not planning on getting a TV Tuner add-in, you can try to sell it on ebay for an extra $$.
    Cheers,

  • I'm looking for a bluetooth remote for iPad's iBooks app

    I'm looking for a bluetooth remote that will allow me to flip the pages of a book in the iBooks app.
    Does anybody know of such a thing? I have found remotes for the iPad, but they seem obscure as to what it can accomplish. I need something more than something that plays iTunes remotely. I have a specific need.
    Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  • Keynote Remote for iPad

    I'm not looking to control Keynote on the iPad, but rather use my iPad as a Keynote Remote for my MacPro running Keynote for Mac.  I have it on the iPhone, but running Keynote for Mac 'remotely' from my iPad would be better for me.  I run photography workshops and courses and in my studio my MacPro is connected to a 42" display that I run a Keynote presentation on.  I've been controlling it with Keynote Remote on my iPhone, but would rather use my iPad as the remote.

    Although I have it on my iPhone, I couldn't find how to install it on my iPad.  Thought it wasn't compatible.  Found it through my "Purchased Apps" on the iPad (App Store) and hit install.  Thanks for verifing that it was compatible and I just had to dig a little deeper.
    Wish they'd come out with a dedicated iPad version with a few more features rather than just a 2X view of the iPhone app.

    Hi,
    Yes.
    I use Tango to control my iTunes library from my iPhone.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tango-remote-control-music/id345279970?mt=8
    Make sure and install the Tango app on both devices.
    Launch the app on your iPhone and follow the instructions. Very easy to use.
    After the app discovers your music library, tap "More" at the bottom of the app window then tap Settings. You can enable the iPhone so you just "shake" it to play the next song.
