I had the same problem. After looking at various ways to reset/reprogram the remote, I finally pulled out some hand sanitizer and cleaned the remote. Chances are my 8 year old left a trace of peanut butter around the button and it jammed. It's been working fine since I cleared out the goop.
I don't even have kids, but out of desperation with my right button not working, I tried the hand sanitizer idea and va la! Thanks, Chris DM!
The hand sanitizer fixed the issue! The right directional button wasn't working and after wiping it down -- voila!-- it works!
Wow...this worked...my apple remote looked completely clean...obviously not...
Took about a teaspoon of Purell, wiped it heavily around the big circle for 30 seconds...dried the excess off with some tissues...and about 30 seconds later it worked...and my children now think I am a hero
I used wipes and it fixed the problem. Thank you
It's a brilliant idea, thank you! I was already looking for a new remote as my up button didn't work! And just one wet wipe solved the problem:))) I hardly believe it:)))
Chris DM you're truly a lifesaver... I could not figure out why I couldn't toggle right. Great advice on how to clean the remote and now I can go back to watching my netflix and hulu.....yay!!!
You are a genius!!! Worked for me too. Thanks soooo much !!!
