Remote Not Working after Stand

I'm having an issue where my remote doesn't work after coming out of Stand By. Works great until then. Only way I can get it working again is if I reboot. I've uninstall/reinstalled but I'm still have the issue. Please help. The main reason I purchased the Platinum verison is for this feature.
Thanks in advance.

To provide closure on this thread, I now have it working!
Got all the ideas from the iSight thread listed above, here's what I did.
Firstly, shut down the computer, disconnected everything from the back of it, gave it a dust around the back of the iMac, blew out the cobwebs so to speak.
Left it ten minutes, made myself a drink.
Returned and restarted the computer, but applying the reset PRAM command, which is after switching on immediately hold down the Command, Option, P and R keys.
You'll hear a second chime, release the keyboard and the computer will boot up.
Once everything had loaded, I launched iSight and lo and behold, there was my ugly mug staring back at me, iSight was once again working.
I then proceeded to the System Preferences to see if I could get the remote working. There was the IR instructions at last including details on how to pair the remote.
Pointing my remote to the screen I held down the Menu and Next/FFWD button until a chain and the remote symbol appeared on the screen.
With my remote paired with my iMac, everything was finally working again after two days of installing Leopard, Tiger and the Leopard again!
Now Apple, how about sorting out Front Row working properly when pictures are DV'd out to a TV!??

  • Remote not working after Leopard update

    I've read about, and have the problems reported with Front Row when it comes to viewing content on another (TV) screen, but does anyone share my problem about the remote control not working at all?
    This morning before I upgraded to Leopard it worked fine, but since then, no matter which button I press, nothing happens at all.
    I've to launch Front Row manually, either by launching the new app, or the CMD Esc command, but the 'Menu' button on the remote doesn't do anything.
    It certainly isn't an issue with the remote as my iPod still responds to the commands when it is sat in the iPod Dock that has the remote receiver on it.

  • Headphone remote not working after iOS 8.1.2 update on iPhone 5

    Following iOS 8.1.2 update my iPhone 5 no longer responds to the inline remote on my headphones.  Remote still works fine with my laptop so the problem is specific to the updated iPhone.  I am using SkullCandy Earbuds.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hello Nathan,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your iPhone's camera. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Remote not working after 10.4.8 update

    Hello.
    My remote is no longer working and I think it is only since the 10.4.8 update.
    Front Row works fine using Apple-esc so that isn't the problem. I've tested it with the iSight and I see the flashing light so it is sending out a signal. I have also used it with no problems on my MacBook (which hasn't yet been updated). The remote from the MacBook also doesn't work with the iMac when it usually does. From all this I have concluded it is a problem with the iMac.
    How can I get the iMac to recognise the remote again?

    Hello Rachel
    Apple describes it in the iMac User Guide, i tried it and it worked.
    Pairing Your Apple Remote
    If you have multiple computers or other devices with built-in IR receivers in a room (for example, more than one iMac in a home office or lab), you can “pair” your Apple Remote with a specific computer or device. Pairing sets up the receiving computer or device so it’s controlled by only one remote.
    To pair your Apple Remote with your iMac:
    1Move very close to your iMac (within 3 to 4 inches).
    2Point the Apple Remote at the Apple logo on the front of your iMac.
    3Press and hold the Next/Fast-forward and Menu buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
    When you’ve successfully paired your Apple Remote with your iMac, a chainlink symbol appears onscreen.

  • Apple remote not working

    My Apple remote is not working with my MacBook. The Mac OS X 10.5 Help Knowledge Base says to go to Security > Systems > and Disable remote control infrared receiver. I don't have a systems button or box nor the checkbox to Disable remote control infrared receiver. And, my MacBook has an infrared receiver.

    Hi Focus,
    I have the same problem. When I update from TIger to Leopard the front row apple remote still working. But is been a long time the last time i used and now on 10.5.2 osx the apple remote not working as I imagine.
    I read some answers that help me understand better the problem. My check box of "disable remote.."is unchecked and I saw a "pair" button and try to pair with my apple remote. The tips told me to HOLD "menu" and "next" buttons of apple remote to pair him with computer. And Works fine. So I try to push only Menu button (as I've done so many times on tiger) but still does not working. So I realize the command to "start front row from apple remote" now on Leopard 10.5.2 is MENU+NEXT buttons and does not anymore only menu button. For me works like this.
    While I write this answer I try again push and hold only MENU button and after almost 2 or 3 seconds holding button appears on screen an virtual image of my apple remote signaling to replace the battery, may be now will be works only on push menu, but I need to change the battery first.
    I hope help somebody.

    For any iSight problems, first try restarting the Mac. If the problems persist, try all relevant suggestions from:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    If your iSight problem still occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.
    However, if your built-in iSight still does not work after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, and if iSight does not show as a USB hardware device in your Mac's System Profiler utility, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    If you need service but have no local availability, choose from among these contact options:

  • Creative Entertainment Center in windows 7.the remote not working

    how i can activate the remote from x-fi fatality champion series.after i change my system form vista to 7 my remote not working.can i install the software from vista?

    B? You have Creative Console Launcher, I believe and that is the program you can use to change between audio creation, entertainment and gaming mode. Each mode highlights the card's specialities in that area. You have a vitural multi-track mixer in audio creation mode. You have Dolby and DTS encoder/decoder options in entertainment mode, and you have a generic access to the cards other features in gaming mode.

    I have a lot of apps not working after upgrade even apple's remote, splash id etc... Anyone else or is it just me?

    I had trouble with MPR, but since it's free, I just deleted it and reloaded it directly from the App store onto the phone. It had an upgrade, too, that must have clashed with the 2.2 upgrade. Once I did the download, it was fine.

  • Tecra M7: Tablet does not work after lid closing

    Has anyone had problems with the tablet not working after closing the lid on a Tecra M7? Bios is 3.20
    Doesn't seem to happen on hibernate or sleep.
    I have the lid set to do nothing on close.

    Hi
    What do you mean with tablet not working after closing the lid?
    Does the notebook freezes or what?? What happens exactly???
    The close the lid settings can be set to hibernation mode or standby mode or no action.
    These settings can be set in the power saver setup actions.
    If you have some problems with some installed Toshiba applications I would recommend reinstalling the TOSHIBA Common Modules and the program which doesnt run correctly!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.
