Regular use MCE remote with HP dv4 built-in IR Receiver

I have this small remote express card-size came with my laptop. It works very well with the build-in IR port.

However, I need more buttons...

If I buy one of these big full MCE Remote, can I use it with the infrared port built on my laptop?

Thank you!

UPDATE:

Yes. A full-size Windows Media Center Remote will work with this laptop.

I went and bought this one: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0276184

It comes with its own USB IR sensor.

But I decided to test it on the built-in IR receiver of the laptop first until I plugged the USB one.

And when I tested it, it worked just like kids! Except with more buttons

No software needed change. Worked right out of the box.

  • Try to use Flash Remoting with CF8 and Flex 3

    I really hope someone can help with this. I googled to death for two days and found nothing. I'm at my wits end. I installed CF8 on Windows XP Pro on IIS5.1 with several sites. I am also using Flex 3. I'm trying to get a simple helloworld application to work with a flash remoting CFCs. When I run it, in the error dialog box, I get this error include:

    [Error CPP faultString = "Send failed" = "Client.Error.MessageSend" faultDetail ="faultCode" Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: failed: url: ' http://localhost/flex2gateway/' ' ]

    I tried to connect to http://localhost/flex2gateway/ via the browser and I get a page not found message. Note that I had to change the root directory in IIS to point to my new site, so it is no longer the default site. If I change back to the default, I find this file. I can't understand for the life of me how to get this url to work in the new site? I also tried to add the JRunScripts virtual directory in my new site like this proposed site and he can still find it.

    Surely someone else has several sites and knows how to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hallefrickinglujah! I finally got to work. I'll post the answer hear to help someone in the future. For sites you create AFTER installing CF8, you must create the JRunScripts virtual directory as described in this article: http://www.frenches.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/5/7/Flex-Coldfusion--Dont-make-me-have-to-sepa rate - you two

    Make sure you just after you create it, you go into IIS and give permissions on Scripts and executables - run it is a drop down in the properties of the virtual directory dialog box. Good luck!

  • Shooting 430 EX II remotely with 6 d

    Well, after searching around I know this question has been asked by many. And I got some very useful information. However, I have not seen an answer to a simple question that always baffled me. When you photograph the 430 EX II remotely with a 6 d, is a receiver and a necessary issuer or just the transmitter? Is that in some cases both are needed? Help, please!

    Recommendations for equipment that would also help would be appreciated.

    The 430EX II is capable of being an "optical" slave (it's builtin... no extra accessories are needed if used with a 'master' cannon).  It cannot be a 'master '.  In other words, it will work as a detached flash he gets 'line of sight' camera 'master' according to trigger the flash.

    The 6 d camera body is not a built-in 'trigger' (the 6 d is not a pop - up flash).

    In which is the 'master' (trigger), you can use either:

    • ST - E2 Speelite Transmitter (this unit works as a 'master', but is not actually a flash.  There also a beam of the development of assistance to help them focus in the dark.)
    • 600EX-RT - this is lightning flaship of Canon.  It can be a trigger or a slave.  It can also work optically or by radio. It also has a focus-assist beam builtin.
    • 90EX - this is a very small, ultra-low power flash, but it can work as a master on the camera to trigger a remote slave flash

    There are also third-party products that can act as a trigger and a receiver.  Some are expensive - and there are some more basic units which are relatively good cheap (but do not support E - TTL - flash would work as a 'manual' flash.)  Gun system supports E - TTL features.

    The 430EX II will be more reliable if you point the bottom of the body to make in the face of the trigger on the device (and then enjoy the swivel head to point the head everywhere where you need light.)

  • Using DAQ Assistant with a system remotely

    I'm new to LabVIEW and National Instruments hardware and I am trying to use an instrument with LabVIEW using the DAQ Assistant. I use a PC with Windows Vista and I am connected via a network to a PXI-8108 controller in a PXI-1050 chasiss chassis. The instrument is just a thermocouple which I use to become familiar with everything. The thermocouple is connected and the connection SCB-68 block which is connected to a PXI-6221 multifunction data acquisition in the chassis. I am able to create a task in MAX under remote system and everything seems to work. What I want to do is to use this instrument in LabVIEW, and it seems that for this I need to use the DAQ Assistant, but when I do it says no supported device is found. I wonder if there is a way to get LabVIEW lean on the remote system to see the acquisition of data and the thermocouple.

    All advice is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi all

    Ben is correct.  RDA is no longer supported in DAQmx.  We have another way to use DAQmx with a remote system.  It is use DAQmx with an OPC server or simply by shared network variables.  There is a section of the base of knowledge here that should help you get started.  You should also take a look at the developer section area here.  The basic idea is that you can use a variable shared within labVIEW that is bound to a variable shared on your networked machine.  In this way, you can write and read values from a task DAQmx.  Look at the instructions in the above two items and let me know if you have any questions.

    Kind regards

  • Is no longer able to navigate using the Remote app

    I'm suddenly is no longer able to navigate (left, right, up, down) on the Apple TV using the remote app. I also tried with the new application. I'm t able to select the current item and return to the previous menu using button "Menu".

    given that it could also have been a problem with the display of my mother's phone, I scroll on different applications etc and it works fine. So it seems that it is an application (or Apple TV) problem.

    any ideas? I use an Apple TV, I bought 3 years ago.

    Thank you!

    Make sure that the software on your TV is up-to-date. Perform a restart of settings or by unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds. Alternatively, you can perform a reset of settings.

  • Using Migration Assistant with no display

    I got my MacBook mid-2010 (2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, OS X El Capitan) for 2 years.

    It splits into two somewhere within 2 years.

    The MacBook was still usable, but it had to be on a desk. The screen was completely separate from the base. It still worked.

    I woke up a few days ago to find that someone had cut the display cable holding the MacBook set and turn on the screen.

    I bought an early-2011 13 "MacBook Pro to replace the dead MacBook. (Yes, I buy old Mac because the news is so expensive).

    Old Mac has been saved semi regularly, so I have an old backup to use for the new Mac. The problem is that just before the death of the former Mac, I downloaded a bunch of stuff that has not been saved. I really want the files that have not been backed up on my new MBP.

    Can I use Migration Wizard with an Ethernet cable and transfer of data from one, or Migration Assistant must be running on old Mac as well?

    I tried to connect (I'm sure that the computer is still running, it doesn't simply have a display) on the old Mac, plug the backup drive and I hope to do a backup hourly, but Time Machine did not only.

    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    If you use Ethernet or a wireless network to transfer data, Yes. If you can not download the files and file-sharing has not been activated on the old Mac, you must either get fixed display or put its internal drive in a closed Chamber.

    Hello ifixer2,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    No, you need two or more Mac computers that meet the following requirements to use Back to My Mac:

    What you'll need

    To configure and use Back to My Mac, you need these things:

    • Two or more Mac computers that use the same account iCloud on OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later version.
    • A Terminal supported access AirPort (AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or AirPort Time Capsule) or other Internet router that supports UPnP or NAT - PMP protocol, with the latest firmware available. AirPort base stations require version of firmware 7.6.1 or later for Back to My Mac.
    • Utility airPort 6.3 or later.
    • For screen sharing, a 300 Kbits/s-or-more rapid, bidirectional (high-low) Internet connection between computers. You may be able to use with slower connections to share files. If file sharing doesn't work as you think, check your settings and connections.
    • A firewall that allows remote connections. Some firewalls may prevent some back to my Mac connections. For example, when you're at home, don't maybe not able to connect you to your Mac at work. But when you're at work, you might be able to connect to your Mac at home. If you are not sure if the firewall will allow the back to my Mac connections, check with the network administrator for your organization.

    If you want to use an AirPort Extreme or airport Time Capsule to access files on a hard drive external, you need a Mac OS extended (journaled) formatted USB hard drive. When you use with Back to My Mac, your hard drive is displayed as the base under shared in the sidebar station Finder.

    Set up and use Back to My Mac

    Take care.

    I used the remote when I bought the laptop from 1st but it was a few years ago...

    I think that infrared doesn t need to be activated. It s must already be enabled.
    But the remote control can be used within Windows Media Center.
    I think this will work because my friend of mouse remote control with Windows Media Center as well and it worked well.
