Unable to find working IR device

Hi, i have the X-Fi Fatality, the front panel is working (optical lights are on etc) but i can't get the remote to work. when i go to entertainment centre settings i get error message 'Unable to find a working IR device'. Can someone please advise as to what i need to do to get the remote to work?
thanks
Steve

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.

HT3728 AIRPORT UTILITY IS UNABLE TO FIND ANY WIRELESS DEVICE 5.6.1

Ok So I have bought a 2TB Time Capsule, for the past few weeks we have been doing our backups on it etc and just using our already installed Netgear wireless router. Tonight I decided I would "extend an already existing wireless router" - after following all the steps etc and then clicking apply etc, the Airport Utility said that it would need to restart the time capsule etc. After about 5 mins and it looked like it had frozen, airport utility re-started and now all i get is:
"Airport Utility is Unable to find any wireless device. Make Sure the Airport Wireless Device you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan"
I have clicked Rescan like 10 times
I have quit and restarted Airport Utility as well as my Mac OSX 10.5.8
I have pulled the Time Capsule plug out of it and restarted it
I have turned of my airport on my computer and turned it back on again
I have read a number of posts - yet nothing seems to give me any more options other than to rescan.

If you are trying to connect the Time Capsule to the Netgear router using a wireless only connection, Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature was designed to only work with other Apple routers. It is extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a Netgear product.
You will need to start over again and perform a Factor Default Reset on the Time Capsule and then re-configure it back to the original settings that you set up previously.
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ

Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport device after restarting.

- I just updated the firmware on my base station (it a white dome?? i think snow?) to 5.7
- I am running AirPort Utility 5.5.2 (also recently updated)
- I have (3) AirPort Expresses (just updated firmware yesterday) and now are not being seen in the airport utility. They had been running for about two years just fine.
I have done a hard reset and was then able to see the Airport Express and go through set up. Upon finalizing the set up I get this message:
"Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport device after restarting."
This is happening with all 3 AirPort Expresses

Hello !
I had the same kind of problems when I upgraded to the latest version of Airport (5,7).
The Airport express seemed to have been disconnected, and nothing I could do to reconfigure it, after hard resetting it, seemed to be working.
I did two or three hard resets before remembering having been in a situation like that a while ago.
I went back to the Mini, **deactivated the firewall (in the "preferences" panel), then deactivated also the firewall of the Modem/router provided for my internet connection. Then I went in the other room and did another hard reset of the Airport express, came back in the mini's room, opened the Airport utility, the icon of the Airport express was already visible (which wasn't the case before... ), did the re-configuring.
The reconfigured Airport express reappeared very quickly, then I reactivated the firewalls of the Mini and the router. Voilà !
It took less than two minutes !
And since then the Mini have been streaming music without a glitch to the Airport express.
I hope this will help you and others !

HT3728 Base station error, air port utility was unable to find my airport device. Why does it say this when it recognizes my airport on the computer? Yellow light has been on

On the older version of the AE you can still use older airport utility.
But once you load the new one you cannot easily go back.. you can load an older 5.6 version though.. instructions below.
For 6.3 you need to run ipv6 local link.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

How Do You Solve the Xcode 6.1.1, Playground's "unable to find suitable target device"?

Hi. I've reset Xcode 6.1.1 (I'm on Yosemite 10.10.2), have restarted the iMac (late 2009), have plugged in via USB the iPhone 5 (runs 8.1.3), resetted even the SMC and PRAM but I still get the Playground error: "unable to find suitable target device".
I checked the Xcode's Preferences - Downloads, on the Components pane or window it says iOS 7.1 Simulator which you could download but when I try to download it, it's just a blank progress bar, even if left for hours, it's not downloading at all. Yet when I press update and install in Preferences - Downloads, it checks it but says there's not update (if there's no update why is iOS 7.1 Simulator an option to be downloaded in the Components window?).
How do you solve this. Do I need to reset XCode at a more deeper level? Could this be a bug in 6.1.1 update?
Thank you in advance. God bless, Rev. 21:4

Unable to find working IR dev

I's using extrem music XFI
When I opened creative entertaiment center,
a pop-up dialog displayed and it said:"Unable to find a working IR device".
Now I still can not use entertaiment center?
Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve?
Pls help me, I need your help.
THanks

Hi!
I dont think you get the I/O bracket (incudes IR) with the X-Fi Music card...
Try opening Entertainment setting in all programs/creative/creative entertainment settings and uncheck the "Enable Remote Controll when windows starts up" and clicking ok...

Unable to find apple wireless device

H
My connection to the internet was created by a technician from the ISP company who came and fitted everything and for my iMac it appears fine, as I can connect to the internet with my iMac but I am not sure how.
When I try to connect other hardware to the network eg iPod touch and Macbook. When I run the airport utility I get the response that Airport utility was unable to find any Apple wireless device.
I know that it maybe something very easy to fix but does anybody have any ideas, I can't find any suggestion in the Airport extreme user guide.
Look forward to you comments and help.
Thanks

James, welcome to the discussions!
Try the following.
Power down your Extreme.
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme directly to your computer.
Now open AirPort Utility again and your Extreme should be identified so you can set it up. Once you have it configured, you can disconnect the ethernet cable if your computer will be connecting wirelessly.
Post back on your progress.

Working network, but airport utility unable to find any network devices

Hi
Can anyone help. I have a stable network which has been working fine for ages. I have an airport extreme + express(airtunes)X2. I was having problems with my printer and ran airport utility 5.3.2 which failed to find any of my devices, but my airport card has no trouble connecting to the network and internet. I also note that itunes no longer sees my remote speakers. I have re-booted everything with no change. All software is up to date on OS 10.5.6.
Any ideas?????

Hi,
I have the same problem. I'm very confused right now...I have one Mac and one PC that have both been able to successfully get online with the AEBS I have. A couple of hours ago, though, the wi-fi connection went dead with the PC. The AEBS has been showing a solid green light all this time, though. The Mac is online--and thank goodness because I wouldn't have been able to look or ask for help, otherwise! And our other various wi-fi enabled devices (ie my mom's iPhone and my iPod touch) have been able to get online, too. It's just the PC that doesn't want to work, for some reason.
I tried turning off the firewall to see if that would help anything. It didn't. I also tried rebooting my PC and that didn't work. Then I unplugged the AEBS for a couple minutes to see if that would help anything, but it didn't. And then I went into Airport Utility on the PC, but the AEBS isn't showing up at all. Yet when I go into Network Connections and view available networks through Windows, it sees my network and I've got full bars in terms of reception.
I'm very confused here. I really don't know what to do. :S Anyone have any suggestions? I'd definitely love to hear them.

T520 Unable to find any bluetooth device

I bought a bluetooth adapter and turned my bluetooth speaker discoverable but it still cant find anything. All drivers are up to date.
and my roommate's mac pro can search my bluetooth devices...

Bluetooth is supported only for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some peer-to-peeer apps from the app store, some keyboards and tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than these, it will not connect to any computer/device/phone.

[solved] Unable to find the root device after an upgrade - diff. case

Background: I recently upgraded my installation done in August 2011 to the most recent packages with 'pacman -Syu' - which, amongst some other minor issues that I fixed, apparently broke my installation's boot sequence. Not sure if this is relevant, but I forced the upgrade as it's been prescribed here.
Note to self: do backups before any major upgrades like this.
Problem: The problem is of the same origin as seen in this post - systems lets me know it cant access the root partition anymore. I'm halfway through the procedure that pineapple-biku suggested but since my partition layout is different - and - because I don't have much understanding of what *exactly* I'm supposed to do and accomplish, I'm stuck for now.
What is the best way to find out the exact labels of encrypted volumes and their corresponding kernel device IDs (i.e. /dev/sda6 for 'tmp' and so on)? I have several volumes of the same size, thus it's hard to guess which is which without knowing for sure.
Details: My setup has an unencrypted '/boot' partition and 7 other encrypted partitions, including /root, /usr and others. These are contained within a single extended partition.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. In case I've left out some important information, let me know, and I'll do my best to provide it.

Thank you both for your assistance. Some more understanding was exactly what I was in need of.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still a newbie when it comes to Pacman, thus prone to such mistakes.

# ls -lah /dev/disk/by-label
# ls -lah /dev/disk/by-id
# ls -lah /dev/disk/by-uuid
This should get you on the way on discovering which disk is what exactly (you'll need to know the / and /boot partition in order to fix the issue).
Thank you. I'll try that.

Airport Utility unable to find "Apple Wireless Devices"

I have a windows7 acer notebook and the airport utility can no longer find my time capsule.
My internet connection is fine and I even have the time capsule mapped as my Z: drive and can access it but the airport utility cannot see it.
Any thoughts?

The solution to this after you get the brain dead apple message is to go to the file menu in airport and select configure other. Then enter 10.0.1.1 and this will bypass apple's brain f-rt and simply open the configuration screen for the airport.
You can use the same method for airport express extending your network, although you will have to do some research under the advanced menu to get that IP address. My express is currently 10.0.1.39. Keep these in a textedit note on your computer for easy access. Every time I change my airport password on my base station both my airport expresses will go brain dead, and about half the time the base station disappears too. Now I just smile and use this solution.
I am certain that most apple geniuses are not aware of this solution, because this problem is all over the net with no solution. Its pretty obvious Steve Jobs never sets up his own airports.

Airport utility unable to find any airport devices

OK, trying to use airport extreme as range extender.
Netgear DGND3300v2 as base station
Software updated on router and airport extreme. Why do I keep getting the above message? What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks in advance.

If you are trying to use the AirPort Extreme using wireless only with the Netgear, these products are not compatible for that purpose. The AirPort can only work as an extender with another Apple product.
You should be able to configure the AirPort Extreme to provide more wireless coverage if you are connecting the Netgear and AirPort Extreme together using a permanent Ethernet connection.
As far as AirPort Utility not being able to "see" the AirPort Extreme....out of the box, the Extreme provides a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You have to log on to that network first...there is no security....before you open AirPort Utility.

Unable to find work item in sbwp?

Hi,
when you have entered document under TC FBS1. Here you can generate the payment also.
My point of view you have done the reversal entry under TC F.81 also. This means document reversed it.
You can see the reversal item reversal under TC F-02. Or
I am suggesting to you can post documents again and clear the payment.
when we have normal clearings then used the TC F-44.
Thanks
Venkatesh

Mon Ami, we had the same problem with Lion 10.7.3 and FMLE 3.2.0 recording via HD DV camera over Intensity Extreme - no preview picture in FMLE even though Media Express showed the video picture and we were able to view on an external monitor via HDMI out from Intensity Extreme. With the Build FMLE 3.2.1 this problem was dealt with.

Windows (8.1) could not find back up devices while creating a system image (0x80070003)

I am trying to create a system image backup under Windows 8.1 Windows Backup is unable to find a backup device with error (0x80070003). No drives are shown under "On a hard disk" and select <Refresh> gives the same error.
A LaCie 1Tb external harddisk is connected to the PC and formatted as an NTFS drive. The hard disk is visable under Harddisk Management and shows up under Explorer mapped as Drive D:
Any thoughts?

Hi,
As you mentioned, the Drive D is mapped from your external harddrive. How did you connect this hard drive into this computer?
If it was connected via network, Please choose "On a network location" and locate the harddrive to check the results.
