Yes. I uninstalled Candelair, tried the remote, didn't work, reinstalled Candelair, tried the remote, didn't work. It will work with OSX if I activate the leopard compatibility mode but not if that mode is deactivated.

Thanks in advance for the help.

What's the leopard compatibility mode?
Candelair is _not_ needed on 10.6.2. Just uninstall it (reboot needed). Then launch up xbmc, check if remote works and pastebin xbmc.log if it doesn't.

Apple Remote still doesn't work after I removed Candelair and rebooted. xbmc.log at address below. Sorry if that is a bad pastebin site. My first try

pastebin is fine, but I don't see anything wrong.
Do you have AppleRemote enabled/set to standard in Settings->System?
Another thing you could check if another helper is already running. Open up a terminal and do

Finally I'd try to manually launch XBMCHelper and see what it says. In terminal do

It looks like iTunesHelper is running. How can I stop that?

I also tried to manually launch XBMCHelper and here is what happened in terminal. Still doesn't work.

Another XBMCHelper or PlexHelper. iTunesHelper is not a concern.

uhm, that helper you're using is quite old (I think it's the Atlantis version).
Sure you're running a current version of XBMC?

Not a chance

OK information on this thread is a bit confusing. If I finally take the plunge and install 10.6.2 on my mini will I need candalier or not?

hth

OK I am going to go for it then. I have spooged my library any how so may as well start from scratch.

How do I use a more recent version of XBMCHelper?

Thanks

Edit: I installed 9.11.Alpha2 and all works. I still have the question about using a different version of XBMCHelper though... Was the version of XBMCHelper that I was using not associated with the version of XBMC that I was using?

glad it works.
and yes, XBMCHelper version is tied to XBMC.

I can't get my remote to work either. XBMC 9.11 Beta 1 on 10.6.2 on a Core 2 Duo mini.

Candelair uninstalled and rebooted.
