Remote no longer works correctly after the latest Apple TV Update

I hope someone can help.
I have the latest Apple TV, purchased this year, and the update that was just released really messed things up in using a remote control.  I've tried with both the original apple remote and my Harmony multi remote.
I can unpair/pair fine with either, but navigation just plain doesn't work.  I press the down arrow, it may not move at all, it may scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen, or anywhere in between.  I press the select button, the icon on screen may do nothing, it may start to wiggle, or it may actually select it.  Sometimes double clicking the select works as a single click.
After a lot of play around to get it to do what i want, i was able to do a full restore to factory, but that didn't change anything with the remote and now i cannot join the home sharing because the remote wont work well enough, so i can't use the iphone app.
As I said, I tried a full restore to factory, powering the Apple TV off, 2 different remotes, nothing works, help!!!!!
I have a pretty big iTunes Anime collection and I want to watch it!
I have an older Apple TV, but I'm afraid to even plug that in if the update is bad.

Sounds very odd - could be a hardware issue rather than software if more than 1 remote is affected.  Strangely though some of my older white remotes seem to have beome very poorly responsive recently and I've replaced batteries in them only a few weeks ago, I think their keys are failing though.
If you have a recent iPhone this might help asssuming the bad AppleTV is an AppleTV 3:

  • My HP LaserJet 1320 quit working correctly after the latest 10.8 update. HP site is useless. What do I do?

    I'm working on a 2005 iMac with 10.8.5. After the latest update my HP LaserJet 1320 will only print one page then I have to shut down the printer and the computer and start all over again. The HP site is useless. Since the printer driver came from my latest update from Apple, there must be something I can do at this end. How do I get to the just printer driver to try loading it again? How do I go back to a printer driver that works?.

    I am using Mountain Lion. I reset the system a thousand times. The Mac communicates fine with the printer, that's not the problem.  Somehow, recently something changed in the ppd file for the LaserJet 1320 that it simply does not print properly. For instance, I sent a job to print two pages, and use the duplex. The duplex works, but then the other side comes out empty.  Is there a place I can find the old - less secure, I don't care, I just want to print - ppd file for controlling the printer? I think the printer only supports certain level of Postscript commands, and the new ppd file expects a new level. This printer is 8 years old after all. If I plug the printer in Linux, it prints the same document fine.
    Thanks for any help

  • Airport Extreme-won't connect after the latest Apple software update

    My iBook will no longer connect to the wi-fi provider at our marina since the last two security updates to 10.3.
    The iBook works just fine with all other wi-fi signals in fact pulls in one that's a half mile away! Yet, it will not connect nor show signal strength with this one wi-fi provider. They haven't changed their signal and it occured immediately after I installed the latest software updates.
    When I shut down the computer today, for just a moment, a message flashed "should I grant permission to allow the marina wi-fi to connect". But it was gone before I could "click" on the button. Haven't been able to get that message again. I've tried to re-connect via "Other" and keying in the wi-fi system name and password but no luck.
    How can I restore my connection to this wi-fi?
    Thanks,

    I had this issue last month after upgrading Quicktime and downloading a security upgrade. For some reason (which Apple couldn't derive), the upgrades for their products screwed up my Keychain, and the only way to fix it was to reset my Keychain. Like you, I run 10.3.9, and this happened with two different upgrades on both my iBook and my iMac.
    The reset process is as follows:
    Go to Keychain Access in Utilities
    Access Keychain First Aid (under Window menu)
    Choose “Options”
    Choose "Reset Keychain"
    What a pain...I've stopped downloading upgrades from Apple until this gets resolved. Of course, that's not a good "solution" either.

  • Drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

    drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

    Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

  • 1080p no longer working correctly after Apple Update

    Hello,
    I've been running my Macmini on 1080p into my LCD TV for well over a year now with no problems. Until this weekend. Seems to have happened directly after the latest Apple update I did. The problem is, when displaying on 1080p about a quarter of the screen is cut off! The screen height is fine, and the left side of the screen is also fine, it's just the right side that is cut off. I can see up to about the wifi symbol on the menu bar, the time for example is off the screen.
    I use a minidisplay port to VGA adapter to plug into my TV. I changed the resolution down to 720p and that fits but I don't like using this resolution as everything is too big and it's also a little blurry. I need my 1080p back!
    Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hello,
    I solved my problem with a workaround but the original issue is unresolved. I used an adapter to output to HDMI to my TV (2009 mac mini has no hdmi output) and now the screen resolution is correct. I am happy now.
    However, it still does not explain why VGA output stopped working all of a sudden! I suspect some sort of change in the latest Lion update I did on the weekend.

  • I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?

    I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
    If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
    My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
    When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
    If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Remote does not work correctly after update

    Hello,
    the subject explain it already:
    After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
    I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
    Any ideas?

    Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.

  • Problems after the last Apple Security Update with trackpad/mouse tapping/clicking

    Dear All,
    I do have a MacBook Pro 15 (early 2008), Mac OS X (10.6.8). The logic board was replaced a couple of years ago under Apple warranty (distorted video problem). I am planning to repalce it after the next apple update on the macbook pro line. Before someone asks, I am using Snow Leopard because I still have some programs that needs Rosetta. I did apply the last security update and after I did shutdown and restarted the computer last night, the trackpad/mouse (mighty mouse, usb mouse) is not working properly. I just cannot do the left click or tap on the trackpad. The mighty mouse works perfectly, except the clicking. The same for the trackpad (tapping). I manage to open a pdf file with some keyboard shortcuts. I can use the mouse/trackpad to scroll and zoom in/out the document. I can use the trackpad to rotate the document, etc. Pressing on the might Just can´t tap/clock on the document to select or open it.
    I alread did the obvious thing: command-alt PR, start in safe mode, unplug the power/battery for a few minutes...
    Did you have a similar problem with the last security update. Do you have any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Carlos

    I have resolved the issue! As I mentioned, I am using a Logitech cordless optical mouse. I connected up my Apple keyboard & mouse and disconnected the Logitech. The problem no longer occurred with the Apple mouse.
    I removed the batteries from the Logitech mouse and disconnected the USB receiver. Restarted the computer, reconnected the Logitech setup, disconnected the Apple stuff, and now it is working.

  • How I got my ipdo to work again after the latest updater

    after about 20 hours of headaches and listening to everyone's similar problems and trying everything under the rotten apple tree, here's yet another solution that seems to have fixed the problem. will have to wait and see how long.
    I went to another computer that has never been tainted by (cr)apple software before. downloaded (do a save to a folder not a run) an earlier ipod updater from here http://www.soft32.com/download_121872.html
    I then disabled my network connection and installed the updater. after doing that I got a windows pop-up about rebooting to update my usb drivers. I said no, I prefer microsoft.
    it took a couple of tries but I got my ipod restored with nothing on it of course.
    I then installed itunes (latest version). It did recognize my ipod and I told it "not to auto update". I played around manually dragging files onto my ipod and it seemed ok so I took it back to the original computer that has my thousands of songs on it. experimented some more with manually updating it. felt it was working fairly well so took a chance at having it auto-update. all seems fine now.
    now at the risk of being un-constitutionally censored here's my opinion about the whole scneario.
    a) the people at apple are too incompetent to conjure up a "force to upgrade hardware" scheme. sorry, it's simply just that same incompetence that has created the problem. the same incompetence that can't fix the problem. and the same incompetence that ignores the problem. any decent company wouldn't ignore it's customers like this. at least admit the problem and say your working on it.
    b) when an apple product works it works...when it doesn't it doesn't. there are no fixes, no solutions. when it breaks it's time to purchase something new. anyone even contemplating sending in their ipod for repair shouldn't. if you are going to dish out that kind of dough you should move away from apple's proprietary stuff and get with the program and move to an industry standard such as mp3.
    c) the ipod fad will end like everything else in apple's history. the ipod like every other apple product is a joke. why else after 20 years can they only manage but a tiny percentage of the personal computing market.
    d) I'm obviously not a fan of apple, never have been never will be..just had a brief moment of insanity when purchasing my ipod a couple years back. will never happen again.

  • How I Got iTunes to Work After the Latest (So-Called) Update

    Does anyone at (cr)Apple test updates before releasing them?!! My iTunes, as I see has happened with many, MANY others, would not open after downloading the latest update. Here's what I did to fix this issue:
    1. Go into Windows Control Panel, click on "Programs and Features", and find both Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Uninstall both of them (in my case, both applications were listed twice, with two different version numbers. Ihad to uninstall the newer one first, before I could uninstall the older version).
    2. Download the correct version of iTunes for your operating system (32-bit for 32-bit versions of Windows; 64-bit for 64-bit versions of Windows), and SAVE it (NOT run!) somewhere, like your desktop.
    3. Once downloaded, right-click on the file and use a program like 7-Zip to extract the files somewhere you'll be able to locate them (in my case, "ITunes64SetUp").
    4. Go into the folder and find the follwing two files or programs: "AppleApplicationSupport.msi" and "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi" (or, I'm assuming if your system is 32-bit Windows, that last one would be called "AppleMobileDeviceSupport32.msi" or maybe just "AppleMobileDEviceSupport.msi).
    5. Double-click each one and that will launch the install programs. Follow the prompts and install both.
    6. After that, your iTunes should work correctly. Mine did!
    Good luck!
    This is ridiculous that we have to do this - the average computer user would have NO idea how to fix this!

    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the iTunes Folder to the D drive, leave a copy on the C drive.
    Then open the XML file in the C drive in the iTunes folder with a Text editor with "Find and Replace" ability.
    Correct all the partial pathnames so it matches the new location where the iTunes Folder is now.
    Example:
    Find: C:\Windows\Users\Johnny\Music\iTunesFolder...   to
    Replace: D\\Music\iTunesFolder....
    Quit iTunes and transfer all the folders out of the iTunes Folder on C except the two single files, including the XML you edited.
    Start iTunes and click on one song you have but dislike, if it plays your fine. Leave the C/iTunes folders alone to make sure it works for all your content, then finally back it up or delete it to make room on C. Do a Windows defrag on C for increased performance.
    If you get a Explanation Point in iTunes, it didn't find the file and you didn't correct the pathnames correctly..

  • Our menu bar no longer works correctly. The flyouts only show the first menu option and none of the drop-down menu options.

    In previous versions of Mozilla we had drop-down menus that contained flyouts that offered more drop-down options. This no longer works in Mozilla 4. If you look at our website in IE7, 8 or 9 and Mozilla 4.0.2 they now work differently. (www.saskschoolboards.ca) Eg. Under About Us / Committees there should be three more dropdowns on a flyout - Committee List; MEPP Report and Semi-Annual Report form. Mozilla 4.0 only shows Committee List and no other drops downs. All of our flyouts are showing only the first selection and nothing else.
    Other affected menus dropdowns are:
    Board Dev / Trustee Development (there should be 4 dropdowns - not just one)
    Communications has Surveys and Elections
    Why is Mozilla not showing our menus correctly anymore?

  • 3 remotes no longer working - is it the old TV

    My TV is about 10 - 12 years old (I guess it's a tube TV - it's not a plasma or LCD). My FiOS remotes have worked flawlessly, but now they only work intermittently, or only some remote control functions work.
    For example, sometimes the Mute control wil work, sometimes not. For the past couple days, I cannot switch the TV Input choice to watch DVDs. I can no longer turn the TV set on using the remote.
    I replaced battery remotes; cleaned the surfaces of the TV set; and tried three different FiOS remote devices.
    Is the problem possibly a component on my TV, such as a sensor?
    Solved!

    Since you tried 3 remotes, that's exactly what it is. Your ir sensor on the tv is failing.

  • Develop Module is not working after the latest 5.5 update.

    I have uninstalled and installed from the direct link.
    Cleaned up and optimized the catalog, etc.
    Images are visible in the library and develop module, but if I try to start editing - there are no changes visible, unless I go to Library and back to Develop.
    If I click "before/after" the blank screen appears.
    Help! This is a major work issue for me!

    Ok, I'm back!
    - apply develop settings (via preset), if so: is it a custom preset?
    I did apply a special preset (custom), just recently. Right now, uploading images without. Will see if that makes any difference. (Update) - NO difference. 
    - apply metadata
    Copyright and Creator, but has done so for a while
    - apply keywords
    Yes. Always
    - rename files
    No.
    Does Develop misbehave in the same way for all your images, or is it for a subset of the images? (Do you have any jpegs in your catalog? If so, does develop work for them?)
    Do have some JPG, but generally all raw and it misbehaves with them all.
    Have you tried making changes in Develop with the image zoomed in to 1:1? If so, is the behavior still the same?
    Yes. At different zoom levels. Same problem.
    Have you tried removing the *Previews.lrdata package that sits next to the catalog? Would need to do this while Lr is not running. (This will cause the need to regenerate previews, which can impact performance for a while.)
    Mmmmm... I removed a bunch of things last time, maybe it was part of it... Can't find it right now. Where would it be?
    Have you tried purging the Camera Raw cache, in the 'Camera Raw Cache Settings' of the 'File Handling' tab in the preferences?
    Yes. No change.
