Since updating to Yosemite Apple remote doesn't work

Hello all,
I have a bit of a problem, since updating to Yosemite my Apple remote stopped working on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011). It worked before the update without a hitch, but now I can't pair it to the computer.
It is a 7 button remote in question, tried pairing it as before using the right arrow + menu but nothing happens. I have also tried with a new battery so this not the issue.
I guessed it needed to be "re-paired" to it again so I have followed the instructions System Preferences / Security & Privacy / General / Advanced but I don't have the “Disable remote control infrared receiver.” option to be found...
I tried googling the solution but with no luck so I rely on your advice, please
Here is also a print screen of my Security & Privacy window...
It is not a major issue but it is a bit of an inconvenience....
Thnx!

Here's mine, the lower one

Since updating to Yosemite my audio is not working?

Hey,
Every since updating to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (Early 2011 model) my audio/sound has been very intermittent. It stops working after my computer goes to sleep and needs a hard restart to get it back.
A few times I was able to kill the process in activity monitor or use a terminal command and it would reset the coreaudio and work but that stopped working for me now too.. Coreaudio shows in activity monitor as not responding even after it comes back after a force quit or regular quit.
Has anyone been able to identify and solve this issue?
Thanks

Repair permissions & restart.
Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.

=====================
Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
The background on the issue is that there’s a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
The spirits tell me that there’s a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That’s why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn’t work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
If that doesn’t work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

Apple remote doesn't work with 2011 Mac Mini

Purchased today, 8/17/2011, from Apple store new Mac Mini with Apple remote. Sucessfully paired the remote in "Security & Privacy" area, the "Disable remote" box is NOT checked.
When I press the menu button nothing happens. If I start a show in iTunes the "play/pause" buttons work but nothing else. Front Row doesn't show up anywhere. Apple rep said remote worked w/new Mini just like it does with all Mac's.
Anyone heard why it doesn't? Is this a Lion issue that Apple will remedy. Total deal killer for me, as we prefer to use the remote when watching shows
Very disappointed today

There's no FrontRow with Lion it's been discontinued ...
There's some possible work-arounds here:

Scared to update to Yosemite, If it doesn't work can you get everything back?

I am currently on 10.6.8. I wanted to update to Yosemite but I am scared to because I do not want to lose all of my files. Is there anyway if it doesn't work and freezes that I can get all of my files back and 10.6.8 back? And if you can get them back, How? I am not that good with technology and I don't want to mess the computer up. Thanks for all of the help, Carl.

You will need to do a good backup (I'd suggest getting the trial of carbon copy cloner, and cloning, not copying, your entire system to an external drive.) If you simply upgrade over the top of your current system, you are likely to find a mass of incompatible apps, which will need upgrading.
I'd suggest the best thing to do is the following
a) do the backup (do it anyway, you dont want to lose your files for any reason, never mind upgrading the OS)
b) check that your hardware is compatible with Yosemite (http://osxdaily.com/2014/06/03/os-x-yosemite-system-requirements-compatible-macs -list/ will tell you)
c) IF its compatible and after you have made a clone or copy of your current system (even Time Machine would be a better option than nothing at all) you should do a CLEAN install of Yosemite.
d) If the install goes OK and everything looks like its working the way it should, you could migrate your files and info from your clone or time machine.
And cross your fingers.

Apple remote is not working

Video froze while watching hulu on Apple TV. I pressed the menu button and play button rapidly numerous times with no response. Now apple remote doesn't work, holding menu and right or left doesn't work either. The remote is barely a month old, what have I done and how do I fix it? I restarted my Apple TV and still no response, while watching a show by navigating with my remote app, I pressed my apple remote and saw the light would blink rapidly if I held the play button. Tried it a second time and it no longer responded. What do I do, buying another remote is not a logical option for a something I bought less than a month ago.

In the time it took my to sign up my Apple ID account so that I can ask a question and then formulate one. I unpaired and then paired my remote using my app for the 10th and now the remote is back to working...go figure

I can't place images from Photos into InDesign since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3. Is this an Apple issue or an Adobe one?

I can't place images from Photos into InDesign since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3. Is this an Apple issue or an Adobe one? It used to be a simple process with iPhoto but not anymore.

Thanks Steve. I should have mentioned that I’m still using CS6. Wonder if that’s the difference? All I get in the sidebar is Photo Booth which is useless.

Mail not connecting regularly since updating to Yosemite

Ever since updating to Yosemite my mail program has had a really hard time staying connected to my email accounts. Both my gmail and my icloud accounts are affected. The settings have not changed, and this worked fine on all previous iterations of OSX.
Could not connect to iMap Server
connection to server "imap....."on port 993 timed out.
I've tried deselcting Use SSL, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. It just times out on port 143.
The only caveat to this is if I quit mail and re-launch, the program connects, but only for a little while.

When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

Since updating to Yosemite and CS6 2 of my print options are greyed out on my epson R2880 print pane?

My colour and colour settings options are 'greyed out' on my Epson printer pane since updating to Yosemite and CS6,this happened before after running a software update on the printer driver! The driver version at that time was 6.62 and now it has updated to version 9.00....could this be the problem??

That's strange ... did you try restarting before printer install? You also may need to delete the printer itself (System Preferences > Printers & Scanners) and add it again , in order to access the proper drivers (?)
Can you show screen shot(s) of your incomplete print dialog?

Since updating to Yosemite my airport express (used for airplay) connects for a short period then drops, the error message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Kitchen". The host cannot be reached." Has anyone else had this?

Since updating to Yosemite my airport express (used for airplay) connects for a short period then drops, the error message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Kitchen”. The host cannot be reached." Has anyone else had this problem

I'm having the same issue. Haven't found a workaround. I use a main TimeCapsule as my main router, also have another TimeCapsule that extends the network, three Airport Express and an AppleTV. For whatever reason, the two AirportExpress that I have in a different rooms cut out. I only have 600 square foot apartment so it's not that big, the signal should be strong enough. Airport Utilitiy reports the signal strength to be strong on all devices.
I'm using all new equipment, a new MacPro for my music, new TimeCapsules, new Airport Express, new everything with the latest Yosemite software. Very frustrating. My Airplay used to work very nice and now I'm constantly having issues and restarting my network. I did a fresh install of all my software on my MacPro when I got it in January so it's not as if it's an old machine with old software, everything is new within the last 6 months.
The only workaround I found so far is to unplug the devices and to plug them back in. Since upgrading to Yosemite, I'm restarting my Airport Express at least twice a week. Very annoying.

Canon RAW not woking since updating to yosemite

Since updating to Yosemite which also installed iPhoto 9.6 my Canon RAW files are not opening. Jpeg works just fine but the RAW show either all black or just a portion of the image shows. Any ideas?

What Canon model camera do you have?
As a workaround one user found that if they uploaded the files to a folder on the Desktop via a card reader and imported from there the RAW files would import successfully.

Issues since update to yosemite

Hello everyone,
I've been having all sorts of issues since updating to yosemite which I am struggling to fix on my macbook.
I've had the mac since 2010/11 and the first thing I noticed after updating to Yosemite was the fan constantly running from the moment I boot the machine and that the icons on my desktop were extremely slow to load up as are any files in the documents folder and finder.
Then watching videos on youtube etc were refusing to play fully. I have since updated to the latest flash player but it is still slow.
I ran the activity monitor and a kernel task file is operating at around 120% all the time.
I have read numerous posts on the internet to try to fix and have upgraded to the latest yosemite, reset the printers and many other things.
Now the trackpad is no longer working and not recognised and now the final straw for me is the keyboard refusing to be recognised at startup. I am currently using a wired mouse and bluetooth keyboard to get around these problems and everything is working fine with these but is a real pain.
Has anyone had any similar problems to the above and know how to sort as this is taking up way too much of my time.
Thanks

What is the exact, complete text of the error message you get?

My NTFS formatted external Toshiba drive is unreadable since update to Yosemite OS X 10.10.1

My portable external Toshiba hard drive is now unreadable on my MacBook Pro early 2008 aluminum computer. Since updating to Yosemite OS X 10.10.1, I cannot recover my files stored as Time Machine backups on my external drive. In the finder, it cannot be see under devices, however in Disk Utility, it is visible. The mounted partition is not viewable, however. My own native hard drive is 200 GB while the external hd is 500 GB. There's no creating a 500 GB image on my hard drive, in other words. I've tried the latest versions of Paragon NTFS and Tuxera NTFS with no avail.
How am I to recover my files, most importantly my Time Machine backups, from my external drive?

The first thing I realised when I started using a Mac was that it does not read NFTS files straight from the box. I had a Toshiba external drive as well and I had to copy all the files using a windows computer. Installed Tuxera on my Mac, partitioned the Toshiba drive into 2 sections one NFTS and the other Journaled.
When you copy files, do not modify the files as this may render them useless on your Mac.
I use the Journaled partition for Time Machine and the NFTS on both Mac and Windows file storage.
Do not format the Toshiba external drive otherwise you will lose all your data. Install a paid version of Tuxera on your Mac to be able to read the data. Some Toshiba hard drives come with a complete version of Tuxera.
