Remote not working - doesn't seem to be pairing problem - any other ideas?

Remote not working - Unpair does nothing - Status light solid/screensaver running - no response from status light when any button clicked on remote - new batteries in remote - only Apple remote in the house - anyone have a suggestion?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds.

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.

Apple infrared remote not working

Just a few days ago I updated Keynote, my time scale is a little hazy but I know recently, like last week, I used my appl infrared remote to control Keynote. I was able to press play and advance slides. This was a great thing, I remember doing and thinking wow apple is great. Now it doesn't work. I can turn the volume up but playing or advancing the slides does nothing. It sure seems like the last update removed this feature.
Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks,
Kris

Hi Kris,
If you are having an issue with your Apple Remote not working with your Keynote presentations, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Troubleshooting the Apple Remote - Apple Support
Start with the section titled If you're using the remote with a computer.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

LIRC-0.9.1: Remote not working, scancodes, config issues

Hi,
I'm using arch (kernel 3.16.0-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux), a TechnoTrend USB IR Receiver and my custom remote (not covered by existing configs). I installed lirc and lirc-utils via testing repo (lirc-0.9.1). My problem is that I can access my device, but irw gives me no output at all.

I already tried a

ISight & Remote not working...

Dear Mac Support Forum,
This is my first post here at the forums although I’ve been browsing them for some time now.
I hit the trifecta of problems so I wasn’t sure where exactly to do this post. Hope you can help.
Latest Updates:
iTunes 7.5
Quick Time 7.3.1
MAC OS X 10.4.11 Update
Issues:
1. I-pod touch is not showing up in iTunes.
2. I-sight is not working (Photo Booth once selected shows the following message “the camera is in use by another application”). No other applications are running.
3. Remote can not open or run Front Row.
• NOTE: all stopped working at the same time after my latest software update so I believe they are related in someway. No 3rd party apps were installed in the mean time.
Tried & unsuccessful solutions:
1. Fully charged the i-pod.
2. Deleted & reinstalled latest version of iTunes.
3. Disconnected & reconnected the i-pod several times using different USB ports to the machine.
4. Restarted the i-pod several times.
5. Restarted the MacBook several times.
6. Reinstalled (Apple Mobile Device Service).
7. Restarted the MacBook in safe mode.
8. Attempted to pair the remote with the MacBook by holding down the Menu and Next/FFWD button.
9. I reset the System Management Controller (SMC) several times.
10. Under System Preference > Security > “Disable remote control infrared receiver" option is unchecked.
11. Deleted & reinstalled the latest version of Quick Time.
12. Tried using the remote with another MacBook & it worked fine.
13. Went to System Preference > Account > Login Item, and uncheck all the applications.
NOTE:
1. Although once connected to another PC the i-pod is immediately recognized by i-tunes.
2. I-pod only charges once connected to the MacBook.
3. The i-pod, IR receiver & i-sight all appear under the USB section of the System Profiler.
4. Front Row can still be run using the keyboard short cuts.
Can you please come up with any suggestion other then the ones tried above to solve these issues.
Thanks for your support.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, hishamonline
Very well done Topic! Thanks for such a good and thorough description.
You have landed in iSight discussions, and I see that you have tried many of the things that users can do to correct iSight problems. It can be very difficult to try to troubleshoot multiple devices simultaneously, so I will first give you my suggestions for your iSight issue. It is possible that something you try for iSight will fix one of your other problems even if it does not fix iSight. To keep the process as simple as possible, whether a given suggestion fixes iSight, one of your other problems, or noting at all, I suggest you continue to concentrate iSight until we get that resolved. Then we will move on to any other remaining issues.
I see that you have done a lot of updating, installing, and uninstalling. You do not say how you accomplished those actions. If you repaired permissions before and after any install, update, or uninstall that require you to input your Administrator Password, and if you used an Apple uninstaller or followed Apple's directions for how to uninstall, the updates/installs/uninstalls should not have caused any problems. If you merely dragged application folders to the trash, you most likely did not uninstall properly. Don't worry about that now, but, for your future consideration, it is generally a bad idea to move, modify, rename, or delete any item outside your User > Documents folder unless you are an experienced OS X user.
Now, onward to get iSight working. If you have not done so since your last software install or update, your first step should be to quit all running applications and then repair permissions. Then try Photo Booth again to see if your iSight works with it now.
If repairing permissions does not help, your next step should be to disconnect everything from your MacBook, restart, and troubleshoot iSight using all suggestions relevant to your system from How to Troubleshoot iSight to determine whether your iSight needs professional service. If, after using the suggestions there, you can make iSight work with any application in any user account you try, you know that your iSight works. Your problem is in some other part of your system.
If your iSight does not work right after trying everything above, post back and tell us:
(1) which, if any, applications work with your iSight
(2) which apps you tried that do not work with your iSight
(3) if EVERY problem is EXACTLY the same in EVERY user account your tried
(4) whether your iPod touch, Photo Booth, and Remote ever worked correctly
(5) if they did, what changed immediately before each problem began, and
(6) if all three problems began at the same time.
We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your response.

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.

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

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.

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,

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Without knowing all of the specifics in your situation, you may want to try these options:
- If you have a DTA, and your remote control has a LANG button on it, press it.
- If you have an HD or SD full cable box:
Most low or no audio issues can be corrected by setting the Optimal Stereo output of the cable box. Here are the steps: Press the Menu button twice on your remote control. Select Setup. Select Audio Setup Under the Optimal Stereo setting, choose "Select to Optimize" and press OK/Select on the remote control
- The audio settings on your cable box may have accidentally been changed:
Press the Menu button twice on the Comcast Universal Remote Control. A new screen below will appear, with the top-left option automatically selected.
Use the down-arrow key (above the Info button) to navigate to Setup and press OK/Select (the center key on the remote control in the middle of the 4 arrow/directional buttons).
Use the down-arrow key (above the Info button) to navigate to Audio setup and press OK/Select.
The Default Audio Track will default to the first option–Channel default–which which is always the channel’s main audio track (unless it was previously changed).
Press the right-arrow navigation key to change the audio track. Changing this selection will instantly change the audio.
1. Press once for English
2. Press twice for Spanish (Español) OR to activate Video Description (DVS)
3. Press three times for French (Français) 4. Press four times for Portuguese (Portugues).
5. Then press the Exit button (above the Volume button) to resume program viewing
Please note: These audio options can only be heard if the program provider or cable channel is providing that additional audio option.
- If the above does not help, look at the remote control for your TV set (not your cable box) as the TVs language settings may have been accidentally changed (sometimes labeled as MTS or SAP on the remote or via your TVs settings menu).

My phone is not working at all. I had this problem before and I was trying to find a solution. However, at Apple Store in UK I was told to send my phone to Canada due to fact that I bought it there. What should I do and who will cover all my payments?

Hello,
My phone is not working at all. I had this problem before and I was trying to find a solution. However, at Apple Store in UK I was told to send my phone to Canada due to fact that I bought it there. What should I do and who will cover all my payments for a mail?
Thank you!

The iphone warranty is not international. It is based from the original country of purchase. You will need to ship to someone you know in the Canada to bring it to Apple for evaluation. Then that person will have to ship the phone back to you. Shipping and insurance will be at your expense. In the terms of the iphone warranty:

IMPORTANT RESTRICTION
Apple may restrict warranty service to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors
originally sold the Apple Product.

Remote not working - doesn't seem to be pairing problem - any other ideas?
