Re: Remote Buddy does not cause packet loss

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
This does NOT happen with an older version of Remote Buddy. I have a new MacBook Pro. I installed Remote Buddy, don't know the version, the .dmg was saved on my NAS. I used this for a week trouble free. I bought a new, faster internal drive. Re-installed everything from scratch. This time, I downloaded the latest as of today Remote Buddy. My network connection was essentially killed. Since my iTunes library is on my NAS, being accessed via Airport in the MBP, the whole thing came to a crawl. I couldn't even mount the NAS without iTunes trying to get at it. I quit Remote Buddy, everything was fine.

The only thing that changed was the version of Remote Buddy. I must use a Bluetooth apple mighty mouse, I can't get by with the trackpad. I have a bluetooth keyboard too, nearby, but don't use it all the time.

I'm using the Apple remote as my only remote.

Simply saying "don't use bluetooth" is really pretty lame. I understand R.B. uses all the correct code, etc., I'm no programmer, but I think something else is going on with R.B. and bluetooth and wireless networking.

I really, really wanted to try Ajax remote thing for my iPhone too.

I guess there is no choice but to just not use Remote Buddy for now, right? No settings to tweak or anything?

My network, for wireless, uses just a AirportExpress, hard wired to a regular Fast Ethernet system.
