"Unable to find a working IR device" Error (Audigy

I just bought the Audigy 4 sound card today, and did a Full Installation. Unfortunatley, the remote does not work. When Windows XP loads, Windows says it has found New Hardware and identifies it as "Creative USB IR Recei'ver", but it can't locate the files to install it. When I press a button on the remote, the red light in the receiver lights up, but nothing happens. Also, when I try to launch Creative Entertainment Centre Settings, I get the following error: "Unable to find a working IR device". I tried uninstalling everything and then installing it again. This didn't fix anything. I also downloaded the latest drivers and tried another USB port. Needless to say, neither fixed the problem. I really want to get this remote working. Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance.Message Edited by Marce22 on 2-02-20060:0 PM

_ I am having this exact same issue on vista business 32 bit. Everything else on the external box works perfectly fine, except the remote. The remote does work however with intelliremote, but I cannot justify paying the money for such simple functionality. Any fix on [email protected]

Error: "Unable to find a working IR device" in Windows Vista 64-bit, Audigy 4

I have Audigy 4 Pro with the RM-500 remote that came with it.
The remote is not working in Vista 64-bit (Enterprise).
It is definitely not a hardware problem because everything works in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I dual boot into Vista, the remote doesn't control anything in Windows but the red light on the I/O external box is blinking so it's definitely receiving input.
When I run "Entertainment Center Settings", I get the error "Unable to find a working IR device" and all the options are greyed out.

Has anyone gotten the remote working in Windows Vista 64-bit's? Thank you for your help.

Unable to find a working IR device - hu

I have a brand new Audigy 4 Pro installed.
The remote used to work. Now it doesn't operate anything - it only flashes the red LED on the hub.
I have the latest file updates installed.
What is wrong?
Neil

I found the answer (just as well as its all quiet on the suggestion front).
I use my old 5. digital card for my gameport. XP installed the drivers for it too. I disabled the 5. drivers, rebooted, and everything works great.
Problem solved.

Unable to find a working IR devi

Hey. Just picked up my X-Fi Fatalty today and I must say I'm quite impressed. Mostly. For some reason, the front panel doesn't seem to want to work. It's powered and plugged in, but there's no light coming from the optical ports and when I launch the entertainment center I get the lovely message "Unable to find a working IR device."
Any ideas?

Bratboy pretty much covered it. As long as there is power to the dri've and the PC is turned on, there should be a light from the optical output. Double check the connections. If you have a floppy dri've, and you know that's working (so the power much be too), run it's cable to the dri've instead, in case the current cable isn't working. Run over all the cables to make sure they're plugged in properly, as bratboy mentioned some cables can be a bit tighter and need to be pushed in firmly or "wiggled" into place.
If that still doesn't work, then it's possible there is a problem with the dri've.

Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device

Installed Airport Extreme connected to my PC running XP Pro. Configured my wireless network successfully. Updated to Aiport Utility for Windows ver 5.5.2 and the Airport Utility shows the 'unable to find an Airport wireless device' message and the 'Rescan' button. I uninstalled the upgraded Utility software, unplugged the Airport Extreme, installed the original software from the supplied disc, held down the reset button while plugging the power back in and waited till I got the amber/green fast flashing lights at which time I released the reset button. No change. Then upgraded the Airport Utility back to 5.5.2 and still no change. I can connect to the web from my PC and to an open wireless network named Apple Network f9561d.
Any help getting access to my Airport Extreme greatly appreciated. Thx

PC was/is always directly connected to Airport Extreme via ethernet. Windows XP Pro firewall always has been disabled (double checked). No firewall software. Disabled PC Tools malware protector. No virus protection or scanning software.
Only things showing in toolbar are NVidia Settings, Windows Volume Control, Network Connection icon,Safely Remove Hardware Icon and the time.
Don't have anything running that would block any ports.
Airport Utility for Windows is version 5.5.2.
Did another factory(?) reset as described before and pressed 'Rescan' button 15 times with no change. Devices connected via wireless are Nexus smartphone & HP laptop running Vista. All can access Internet, but slowly.
Tried rebooting PC several times with no difference. Tried plugging the PC ethernet cable into different ports in the Airport Extreme before I realized that I could always access the Internet from the PC so I was wasting my time : )
Tonite I unhooked my DLink wireless router, hooked up the Airport Extreme, installed the software, configured the network (perfectly) and then checked for and installed the
Airport Utility software upgrade (no others). As soon as it finished installing, I ran it and ended up with the error. I didn't install anything else or even run any other software. I saved the configuration, checked for and installed the upgrade. I haven't changed ANY settings on the PC or run any software other than Firefox to create my Apple account to report this problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.

AirPort Utility unable to find any Apple Express devices.

Help! This is getting desperate. I bought an AEX for streaming music to my hifi. Installed it yesterday and it worked on both my desktop (running Vista) and my laptop (running XP). However I was experiencing sound dropouts on the Vista machine so, having researched on this forum, I tried to change a couple of settings in my wireless router (D Link DI524) to try and cure the problem.
My wireless network is still working fine but since making the changes the AirPort Utility software just keeps telling me that it is unable to find any Apple Express devices and I cannot make a connection. It is the same on both my desktop and my laptop.
I can't see why changing security settings in the router should prevent the Utility from connecting with the device as it has to do this during set up anyway to be incorporated into the network. I have tried a full re-set to factory settings but that didn't work. Any ideas? Otherwise this thing is going back to the store.

It's ok. It seems to have cured itself. And downloading Vista Anti Lag has cured the sound drop outs too.

Unable to find any airport wireless device

Hey there. I very recently installed airport Utility (latests version) for windows 7, for the purpose of fowarding ports 1630-1636 for a game. Sadly, whenever i launch Airport Utility, i get the error message "AIrport utility was unable to find any Airport wireles devices. Please make sure your device is in range of your computer and plugged in. Then rescan and try again." Please help! I'm never able to find my modem (which is an airportextreme) making it impossible to foward these ports!
Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Are you connected to the Aiport Extreme either wirelessly or by ethernet?

"Airport Utility was unable to find your airport wireless device"

I recently bought an Airport Extreme to replace a D-Link DGL4300. My network is as follows: DSL > Modem > Airport Extreme > Ethernet and Wireless clients (wireless clients include my iMac and my wife's MacBook). This worked fine for about 2 weeks, until my wife's MacBook started having connectivity issues. I did a soft reset on the Airport Extreme, and . . . poof. No internet for anyone. I did a hard reset and used the saved profile that had previously worked (for at least my computer), and after the Airport Extreme restarted, I received the dreaded "Airport Utility was unable to find your airport wireless device". I have repeated this cycle several times with complete power-downs of the modem, the Airport Extreme and all clients, with no change in result.
What's odd is that even though Airport Utility can't find the Airport Extreme, my home network works fine (i.e., all clients can talk to an internal media server and each other), but there is no internet at all. Any ideas?

Until you can complete the configuration process, try connecting your Mac to the AirPort Extreme with an Ethernet cable to see if that allows AirPort Utility to see the Extreme.

AirPort utility unable to find any AirPort wireless devices

Hi All,
I have an issue I have no idea how to resolve. I recently purchased a 2TB Time capsule and after a few teething issues have had it working as both router and external storage. I have spent the last 2 weeks transferring all my media to this for central access from all networked computers.
Its been running fine the whole time until today. For some reason my internet connection was dropped. I turned off the TC and my Modem, and then restarted in the right order.
WiFi connection is Excellent. I can connect to my mapped TC drive, but I cannot connect to either the internet (my network is now only allowing 'Local Connection') and the Airport utility is unable to find any Airport wireless devices. I was hoping i'd be able to see an issue through the utility but it cant even recognise the device!
I am yet to do a hard re-set of the TC as I want to avoid having to go through the network set up again and I assume this is the information that is lost? I'm also concerned I will lose the content of the TC and i really dont have the time or the patience to go through that exercise again.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Thanks for the quick response!
My Modem is not the issue in this case as I have already connected via network cable directly to it and am using it to connect to the internet now.
I had issues with IP conflict etc when setting up the network and suspect something similar this time, except I cant even open the TC to check the set up as AirPort utilities cant see it.
I think I have the TC doing the routing as all periphrals attached to the network were getting a 10.0.1.x IP address, but I have to confess this is not my forte and neither is pinging things as I dont understand any of the information that comes back!
I assume the hard re-set option is a last resort? I'm tempted to just do it as I cant see I'll be any worse off than now... but I'll hold off and do the proper diagnosis.
Unfortunately I'm away for the next 2 days so wont get this resolved before then... I have the internet hard wired so that will keep the wife happy... but i will look into this further and report back with more details on my return.
Thanks,
Mark

My Windows Vista Computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices

My Windows Vista computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices. I just set this up using another (different) computer and it works fine on that one...

Per chance was the other computer that was able to "find" the AirPort base station another Win Vista device or another using another OS?

Trying to set up time capsule but keep getting message stating airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. What do I do know?

Trying to set up my time capsule on my imac.
Keep getting message "Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless devices."
What do I do now?
joglenn

When having difficulties accessing the Time Capsule (TC) via the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the TC wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the TC's LAN ports.
Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.
Finally, if you are attempting to access the TC via an Ethernet connection, be sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo Frames, i.e., using an MTU of 9000+.

I have had a time capsule for years and it worked well. Now my airport utility states it is unable to find any airport wireless devices. When I rescan, I get the same response. I access the internet wirelessly through my Time Capsule - that part works.

My time capsule is currently not backing up my MAC. My airport utility states it can't find any airport wireless devices. But I can access the internet via my time capsule. I was trying to reset my time capsule but it won't let me since the airport utiity states it can't find any airport wireless devices.

i was having the same problem. i held the reset button on my airport express for ten seconds, waited for it to restart and than unplugged my internet modem for 15 seconds and waited for it to restart and my wireless worked. but when i go to setup everything through the airport utility everything goes to crap and i have to start over again. i don't get it.

Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files error

Hi Good Day.. I just installed my Acrobat Professional 11 last week.. I had no problem with the 2 computers but in 1 computer I'm experiencing this error while trying to combine excel files into PDF...
" Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
Do you want to run the installer in repair mode? "
I tried to run in repiar mode but still the same, tried to unsinstall the software and reinstall but still the same.. Did anyone experience the same problem? Please help!
Thank you!

I get a similar error, but only under the following conditions: I must be printing to the Adobe PDF printer and printing multiple pages, one at a time, and then it only happens on the second and subsequent print attempts. That is to say, the first page prints just fine and this just started yesterday afternoon. The specific file referenced in the error does not exist, but why would it work the first time and not the second? Since it only started yesterday, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling this morning, but it made no difference. I don't see anything under print properties like job-options and it is a single user, unshared printer. Thoughts? I understand the same thing is happening in at least one other of our locations, but no one there has looked into it yet. This is a BIG problem for me, however, and I need to find an answer quickly.

Reg Unable to find URL for Adapter Engine Error

Hello,
During execution of a scenario, i am getting these errors in sxmb_moni:
AE_DETAILS_GET_ERROR
3: Unable to find URL for Adapter Engine af.xip.poecspxioo4
Error when reading the access data (URL, user, password) for the Adapter Engine.
Seems like it is a problem of XI Server unable to locate the Central adapter engine due to some parameter not set properly.
So, what are the points we can check while installation of XI so as to rectify this problem.

Hi all,
I got the similar error in my scenario and i solved the same.Actually i ma not pretty surte this will solve your problem.
In my case proxy generation settings was mis configured in the sender system. so its caused the reason.
I made an entry in the SPROXSET table and i did other activities like RFC and application system also.
Then its worked for me. Its not matching with your case please do ignore this one

"Unable to find node..." error

Does anyone have any idea what the error below is trying to tell me???
I'm getting these every time I try to sync this same package file called "personal notebook.ntx".
1) When I look inside the package file there is no such file. There is a file called "req_of.gif", but no file with a "._" preceeding. On top of that this is a standard AFP based home directory (not CIFS, or NFS).
2) Every time the sync runs, the file that gets the error CHANGES! So one time it'll be the file I just mentioned, the next time it'll be this file:
"Documents/NoteTaker-NoteShare/Personal/personal notebook.ntx/Attachments/._s117018.jpg"
The next time I'll be this file:
"Documents/NoteTaker-NoteShare/Personal/personal notebook.ntx/Attachments/.smlogo2.gif"
And so on. There are about 84 files in that directory and if the automatic syncs are let run enough times, it will eventually generate an error on most of the files in that directory (but not all

Hmmm, Ok, this is helpful, however we're now in an area I'm rather unfamiliar with so need some more help (thanks for this by the way).
First what I know...
* Everything below the directory "personal notebook.ntx" is part of a package and not directly under my control but under control of an application called Notetaker. I have however, been having to look into the packages a lot recently due to the fact that the modification dates don't seem to work the same in Leopard as they did in Tiger (I mentioned this in another thread, but no one seem to have any insight on it http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244035&tstart=0). By looking into the package seemed to be the only way to be able to verify whether or not my files were being sync'ed correctly as I could no longer rely on modification dates.
* Checking the rest of the files in the package shows that a lot but not all of the files have that attribute set. All the files in that directory have that attribute set.
* I don't consistently get the same file to error out every time. If I run the sync two times in a row with no changes what-so-ever a different file will generate the error.
So questions that come to mind since I haven't dealt with extended attributes very much....
* Are you saying that the extended attributes could only have been set by a Leopard client? A Tiger client would not have been able to set them? (I'm syncing these files between Leopard and Tiger clients).
* what is the "com.apple.FinderInfo" attribute? Can I delete it? What would I lose? The fact that not all files in the package have this makes me wonder whether or not it's necessary.
* why would FileSyncAgent have a problem with extended attributes?
Thanks for any help.
