Question

Apple Remote stopped responding

Aug 14, 2012 11:11AM PDT

My Apple Remote no longer works for iTunes, Quicktime nor VLC Player. I checked with Facetime to make sure that it does indeed work and I was able to see the light flicker when I pressed the button. Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks.

And I never use the test to see if the battery is OK. I put in a new one. And I'll be honest, I do use a Volt Meter to check my old and new battery. Not everyone has such a thing.

I've already put in a new battery. I got one today. Made no difference at all.

then pair the remote again.

Seems to be a problem with Mountain Lion, which you may or may not be running, you didn't say
