Turn off the Infrared Port

I use a remote to turn my tv-related. When I use it well, it changes the setting on my laptop. His frustration through Netflix and strip off what I'm doing because I'm using the remote control. How can I disable the infrared port on my laptop so I can use my remote without problems?

Hi Sarahelizabeth,
 
Disable infrared

You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

If your infrared computer ability does not, infrared can be disabled in Windows. If your computer has infrared technology, here's how to turn off the infrared connection:

1. open the Manager of devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and security, and then, under system, clicking Device Manager.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2. double-click on infrared devices.

3. right click on the device, and then click disable.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Last Firefox update turns off my USB2 ports.

    My laptop worked fine, but then I hit a problem because my USB2 ports won't work; My USB3 ports was working but not 2.

    I tied everything back to the 16 June when I installed the latest Microsoft and Intel Graphics update. Right now I've also updated Firefox to the latest version.

    I couldn't solve the USB2 problem so did a restore of the system around June 12 and everything worked fine. I put the USB2 problem down to the Intel updated and reloaded all Microsoft patches and everything worked fine. Then I upgraded to Firefox and restart my USB2 ports do not work. A few minutes ago, I completely uninstalled Firefox, restarted the laptop and the USB ports are working fine again.

    I guess that the last Firefox creates a conflict somewhere but where so I was wondering if someone might be able to help the goodness.

    My system is running Windows 8.1 64-bit and I loaded Kaspersky Internet Security. As I said, everything was going fine until I updated Firefox with the latest patch. With no Firefox, now I had to Windows 11 as default.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestions - tried all that and v30 still knocks my USB2 ports.

    I read on the Internet about other users lose their mouse touchpad once v30 has been installed, so I guess that Firefox is somehow contradictory in a way with particular laptops; mine being one of them.

    In the end I found a link that allows me to install v29.0.1 and after having turned off the automatic updates, all is well again. I think I'll try an update again once us get around to v32, but in the meantime, I'm happy to stay with v29.0.1.

  • How can S2340T, I turn off the touch function?

    I am running the S2340T monitor on a Windows Pro 8.1 System.  Touch calibration occasionally goes haywire, but I've always been able to open the tool pen and Touch and recalibrate.  Except that now, it doesn't seem to be "holding".

    As I rarely use the tactile aspect of the screen and am completely comfortable with my trackball mouse, I would just turn the tactile aspect * off *.

    How can I do this?  I know that you go to the Device Manager, but how to know what 'Human Interface' element it is?  I'm a gamer, so I have a * lot * of human interface elements.

    Thank you!

    Disconnect the monitor cable computer USB upstream will turn off the monitor to "touch" feature This means that you will not be able to use one of the USB ports monitor downstream.

  • Can you turn off the shutter sound on the factory unlocked iPhone to the Japan 7?

    Can you turn off the shutter sound on the factory unlocked iPhone to the Japan 7?

    I am going to Japan November 2016 and plan to buy unlocked (no sim) iphone to use in my country (Thailand) 7.

    However, I have read some post on 'mode of politeness' in Japanese phone but the conclusion is not clear whether you can disable shutter sound (without sim) unlocked iphone 7 or not. Then, someone could share on the current situation?

    Thank you

    No, its required by Japanese law shutter. Even if the iPhone is

    is no longer in Japan, you will not be able to turn off the shutter sound.

    You should also check with the seller to be sure you can get the

    iPhone unlocked from the Japanese wireless provider to use with your

    carrier in Thailand. And check that the iPhone is unlocked before leaving the

    retailer.

    The new App Store for El Capitan update has locked up my macbook pro.  Reboot got about 3/4 fact and the machine stops. Turned off the power and turn it on again for nothing doesn't.  How in my machine to begin troubleshooting?

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.

    Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.

  • Unable to open encrypted drive up to that "turn off the csrutil.

    I was using OSX 8.5 until a few days ago. One of my discs is encrypted. For some reason I couldn't open it for a long time. A day after a reboot, the system refused to open it (I just restart my Mac Book every now and then). I tried several combinations of the password, nothing helps. It was not so important, because the disk contained only the old data.

    Two days ago, I have updated to OS x 11.5 and gave him a new trial, nothing had changed.

    However, today, I needed to disable the security protection by a "turn off the csrutil. A nice side effect is that I can re - open the disk encrypted with my known password.

    Isn't it strange?

    I have long run out of support, so I can hardly open a ticket for this. Maybe some else will do so?

    See you soon,.

  • In Firefox 30, how can I turn off the console of the Web Developer?

    I use a keyboard macro program. Its parameters, however, are other shortcuts to the Web Developer Tools. So, I want to be (a) completely disable the console Web Developer or (b) remove/reset the shortcuts used by the latter.

    Preferences to turn off some DevTools (devtools.*.enabled) are there on the topic: config page, but I don't see anything in the code that they are supported and tests include only a few prefs.
    Deactivation of the developer toolbar works, but do not turn off the tools in the web console AFAICT.

    I don't know if there's a bug on this subject or must be filed?
    Why have prefs if they do not work (I tried with lockPref so)?
