Remote Control Diagnostics For Mac

When nothing happens when you press a button on your Apple Remote, this can have many different - and often very technical - reasons.

Remote Control Diagnostics is an easy to use utility was written to greatly simplify the process of identifying the source of such issues and provides you with useful tips on how to address them.

Remote Control Diagnostics is a diagnostics tool. It works strictly in a read-only fashion and doesn't change any settings or system files. It provides you with information on how to address issues and potential issues that it has found, but never takes action itself.

This is a non-exhaustive list of issues and potential issues RCD can detect: · The IR Receiver is paired with a particular remote · The IR Receiver was disabled in system preferences · Built-in OS X functionality has not been loaded · Applications currently accessing the IR Receiver exclusively · Potential incompatibilities of applications with outdated Apple Remote support code with OS X 10.6.2 and later · Apple IR Receiver driver has been unloaded or not been loaded · Currently active virtual machines accessing the Apple IR Receiver directly · The IR Receiver hasn't been detected by OS X due to a common, USB-related SMC issue · The Mac doesn't have a built-in IR Receiver
