Universal IR remote

Hey i was wondering if there was any way or program to allow you to use (almost) ANY universal remote with my Mac Mini. I was looking around online and found something about the Apple TV having a new feature in the 2.3 firmware that allowed you to use any remote... is there any functionality built into leopard or any type of app that would let me do that? freeware would be preferred....

Comcast support is terrible.
Their Mac tech support is very good in my experiences with them.
You are asking questions about a 3rd party product. You need to direct your questions to Comcast. Comcast Mac forums are sort of like these forums. If you cannot find your answers on their Mac forums then you will have no alternative but to call Comcast mac tech support. Ask to bumped up to tier 2 or 3 which is Mac support.

Your thoughts.. lack of functionality Apple Universal Dock Remote Control

Most of us that toy around with the a/v out capabilities of the Touch are aware that standard remote control functionality is not currently available with the Apple Universal Dock remote. I can understand how mapping the multi-touch functionality to the remote's 'standard iPod wheel' functionality is like mapping apples (no pun intended) to oranges. But, I would imagine a firmware update could do the trick. However, I think it would be really cool (and expensive) to create a mini multi-touch remote.
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
I have posted my enhancement request, firmware upgrade first.. new remote second... to Apple's feedback site... please send in your comments if you feel the same way I do... they do listen...

What happens when you try to use the remote with an iPod touch in an Apple Universal Dock? I'd been thinking of getting Apple's dock/remote, especially because the features guide says,
You can connect iPod touch to your TV and watch your videos on the larger screen. Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, or other iPod touch compatible cable. You can also use these cables with the Apple Universal Dock, available separately, to connect iPod touch to your TV. (The Apple Universal Dock includes a remote, which allows you to control playback from a distance.)
Does the remote have only limited function, then? What does the remote do, or not do?

Universal dock remote control play/pause button doesn't work

Hi all,
Ok since updating to Ipod touch software v2.2 I have been unable to use the play/pause button on my Apple universal dock remote, whilst my iPod touch is in the dock.
The volume controls and track next and previous buttons commands on the remote control work just fine.
I have tried unpairing and then pairing the remote with the universal dock but same issue. I thought that maybe the play/pause key was possibly broken. However I tested the remote on my iMac and play/pause button works fine in front row.
Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Strange thing is mine started working again last night and is still working. Seems the problem went away as it originally appeared. I hope it doesn't stop working.
I will mark this thread as unanswered until we can figure why the remote, universal dock and iPod touch are behaving this way.

Universal Dock remote capabilities

Are you able to use the remote that comes with the Universal Dock to also control the computer it's hooked up to? I mainly want to control simple functions of DVD Player with it. I have a 2009 aluminum iMac.

Actually, the iMac has an infrared captor that can capture the signal from any apple remote. It will act as if it was the remote that came with your iMac. You don't need to plug the Dock to your iMac to make the remote work.

Universal cable remote with Mini

I am using a Mini as a media server for my home theatre setup. I would like to get rid of the Apple remote so I only have to use one remote device. I have been able to program my Cox cable universal remote to control all devices (SONY Bravia, Sony receiver, Moto cable box) using the 4-digit codes that came with the remote. Has anyone been able to control the Mini with such a remote? If so, what is the code?

IPhone doesn't work with Universal Dock remote?

Hello,
I received an Apple Universal Dock with remote for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure I remember it and the remote working just fine with my iPhone when I first set it up. Today, I tried using it again, and found that I can't use the Universal Dock's remote for anything other than controlling the volume, and even though I can raise or lower the volume with the remote, the volume change is not reflected on my iPhone's screen - the iPhone's ipod volume indicator doesn't move.
The Universal Dock and remote work just fine with my wife's second generation nano, and the iPhone works without any problems when docked into a Logitech mm50 speaker system - the mm50's remote is able to jump forward and backwards through songs, pause, play, etc. The problem seems limited to the combination of my iPhone and the Universal Dock and remote.
Is this normal? According to the Universal Dock's package and documentation, it is compatible with the iPhone and doesn't mention anything about the remote having limited capabilities when used with the iPhone.
If this isn't normal, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks in advance and best regards,
tom

i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

How can I access websites that I once accessed through my University's remote login system (university of toronto) directly?

For instance, when I type "scholar.google.com" in the search bar, I get re-routed to "https://login.library.utoronto.ca/cgi-bin/go_log.pl?url=http://scholar.google.com/". This does not happen in Safari. I am using Firefox v. 3.6.12. I have deleted my history and cleared my cookies but the problem persists. I wonder whether this is related to SSL encryption? In any case, I would like to eliminate this browsing barrier.

You can find the connection settings in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

Menu Button issue with the iPod Universal Dock with Remote

What is the status of a firmware release to address the inability of the Apple Remote to mimic the menu button on the iPod?
Is it even possible to update the firmware to provide this functionality? What is the hold up? I am boycotting further hardware purchases until this is taken care of or Apple accept s a return of my Universal Dock, Remote, Second power brick, Firewire cable, and AV cable.
It is shameful for Apple to have sold these items and not made it clear that the menu button may as well be a sticker.

How can I show menu on tv with apple tv remote

I have my ATV onnected with a HDMI cable from my Apple TV to a HDMI input on my A/V Receiver.
Then I use HDMI out on the A/V Receiver to connect to my HDTV with another HDMI cable.
This has always worked just fine for me and still does, just lately though I needed to check out the menu on my ATV which will be the first time since I set up my system.
I have my system set up on a Universal Logitech Remote which is also working just fine for me.
My problem is that I can't figure out how I can get the ATV menu to show up on my tv so that I can edit it.
I've tried turning on the tv manually but when I do I get live tv playing and clicking on the ATV remote menu does not over-ride the live tv picture.
Also tried turning on my Tivo with my universal remote but that also opens up the tv with a picture which the ATV remote can not over -ride
Am I missing something obvious here or is my setup preventing me from seeing the menu.
Thanks

The correct answer is only with a limited number of apps, you cannot share the iPad screen, unfortunately. YouTube, iPhoto. I am very disappointed keynote presentations are not supported.

Universal Dock plus ipod Touch

Hey guys, I was thinking of buying the Universal Dock for my iPod Touch, but do I need to buy the Apple branded AV cables too, if I want to plug it into a tv? I know the older AV cables don't work on the Touch, but is it different using the dock? I was hoping to download the manual for the dock, incase it mentions anything about it, but can't find it.
Any help would be great!

For doing TV-Out with newer iPods you really only have TWO choices with One optional purchase:
- Choice 1: Apple AV Composite Cables (R,W,Y)
- Choice 2: Apple AV Component Cables (R,W,R,B,G)
Option: Universal Dock so you can use the remote control to pause, fast-forward, rewind, skip forward and back, and change volume.
Also, understand that you can't play games, scroll through menus, view album artwork on the screen, etc. The AV Cables (even in combination with the Universal Dock & remote) just let you play music, view photos, and view video through the TV.
So, it really comes down to how much you want to spend (and how lazy you are - in the case of the Dock w/remote). Each one is around $50 alone.
Unless your TV doesn't have Component inputs, I'd buy the Component AV cables. And if you can afford it, the dock is handy too.
Personally, I have the Component Cables & a Universal Dock. And, yes, I am that lazy.

Does Best Buy sell any Camcorders that come with wireless remotes?

Hello,
I have a Sony digital tape camcorder that I am looking to upgrade from, to a flash or hard drive camcorder. It has a wireless remote and I need that feature on any new camcorder I purchase. However, the product descriptions fail to mention whether or not a camcorder has a wireless remote.
So, which flash or hard drive camcorders sold at Best Buy have either (a) a wireless remote, or (b) the ability to be controlled by a universal wireless remote?
Thanks in advance for any information, as it will help determine if I should purchase a camcorder from Best Buy.

Hi jollystomper,
It seems like there was a time not too many years ago when every camcorder on the market had a wireless remote. Manufacturers found that they were not widely used, however, and quit making those remotes standard.
I did a quick search for you, and the only camcorder I found with a remote in the box is the Toshiba Camileo X416.
Check it out below.
Toshiba - Camileo X416 16GB HD Flash Memory Camcorder - Black
Model: PA3974U1C8K | SKU: 3530538
This camcorder features electronic image stabilization for enhanced clarity and records 1080p HD video to bring images to life. The 3" LCD touch-screen display swivels for an optimal view and allows easy editing.

180 Remote won't work

Hi,
I have recently set up a Mega 180 but I cannot get the remote to work at all in either Hi-FI or PC modes. Is it possible that I may have accidentally removed a cable from somewhere? I double checked and all the bits and pieces seem to be in the right place. The only cable loose is the one entitled 'Remote TV'. If this needs to be connected to something can someone please let me know. The system is the Deluxe model but I don't have the TV tuner card. I'm not an idiot by the way so please don't say something silly like "Is the battery in the remote correctly". Everthing else in the system is working fine.
Cheers
SG

There are several people on the forum from the UK.. Hopefully they will respond...STU ????
I agree with your conclusions about MSI. I have never owned an MSI product before. And I'm not sure I would buy another one.
However I do believe that the Mega 180 is a good value for the money. And I am very happy with the way it works in my living room when it works. However the amount of debugging and work it takes to turn it into a useful HTPC is incredible. Having read other HTPC forums I know that no product in this space are perfect.
However having to reverse the fans and cut sheet metal to keep it cool to me is just bad engineering.
Plugging and unplugging the thing from the wall to keep it working is really annoying. This is required to fix:
1. Lost on board audio
2. Lost card readers
3. Failure to boot
4. Lost radio
and who knows how many other things. I seem to have to do this at least once a week. In fact I put it on a power strip that I can turn off and on so I don't have to reach around the back for the power plug.
Even something as simple as having the remote control (assuming it works) turn on the computer would seem extremely obvious to me. Lots of things they could have done better.
By the way I ended up using a Sony RM3000 as my remote. This is a very good universal learning remote with macros user defined labels.... all kinds of things. It also is extremely powerful and I can operate the Mega pointing the remote 180 degrees away.
Good luck

Hi Adrian,
Is there any documentation on the XML required to create your own
measures and filters at the universe level in a SAP BI universe?
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf] has some guidelines.
SAP BW InfoCubes as data sources
- Remote InfoCube: While fully supported, building and deploying universes on remote InfoCubes is not recommended for ad-hoc query-, reporting-, and analysis-use scenarios. Such architecture is generally not expected to meet query performance expectations with interactive queries.
- MultiCubes and Multi-InfoProviders: Building and deploying a Business Objects universe on top of a MultiCube or Multi-InfoProvider is identical to building and deploying a universe on top of an InfoCube.
SAP BW Queries as recommended data sources
- Not all BW metadata features can be retrieved on an InfoCube level
- BW Queries offer a flexible extension to the data modeling environment.InfoCubes require more effort to change.
- BW Queries offer significant functionality to create customized data sources that meet end-user requirements.
