For a number of reasons, I decided to try Remote Buddy some months ago. I was quite happy with it for a little while, but then for no reason I could discern, it started completely ignoring my Apple Remote, which no longer had any effect. I uninstalled RB and went back to using Apple's regular driver, which worked (and works) fine with that remote.
Recently I installed VLC, which the Apple Remote does not control. I decided to give RB another chance because it does work with RB, especially since there were new updates to both RB and the OS -- I figured that having those installed might allow RB to work reliably.
The first day I tried it, it worked great.
But the next day, it didn't respond at all. (I did log out and back into my account in between, but RB WAS running.)
This is under OS X 10.6.8.
Any suggestions?
