Harmony Remotes

[JabronieMan]

I'm trying to update my Logitech Harmony One remote.  I'm trying to change the custom buttons that will show up on the touch screen, but whenever I click in the text box I don't get a curser.  Also if I try to backspace it doesn't delete anything and if I try to type it just acts as a search through the list of functions that will be assigned to the button, I can't rename anything.

I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6)

Welcome to the forum.

Is this in the Label column at Activities> Additional Buttons> Customise Buttons?

Since resistance may be futile, the simplest and most immediate solution might be to note the device and key def, click the trash icon, then recreate the entry with the label you want.

That doesn't work either; I can't type anything into the text boxes no matter what.  If I make a new button or try to edit an existing one there's no way I can alter the text.

This problem is not only custom buttons but all text entry boxes are disabled.  This happens with everyone I have checked with that uses Harmony Software on Mac OS X.  The only way to fix it is to re-start the Harmony Software.  Logitech needs to fix this!

I have the same problem, and restarting the software doesn't always fix it. Sometimes updating the remote will fix it, temporarily. This never happened before, it must be a new thing. It's very annoying!

Since this is the top google search result for this issue I will post here the solution. The Logitech software deslikes the 64-bit Java. Go to the preferences page, select Java Preferences and drag the 32-bit version to the top. Then restart the software. You can now input values into the labels.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks very much for your helpful advice!

For those of us with Snow Leopard, text entry can be enabled by running Java Preferences.app, and dragging the 32 bit Java machine above the 64 bit version.  not sure if this causes problems elsewhere, but right now I don't care.  HOWEVER, if you have the bad luck to hit DONE after customizing some buttons, DO NOT hit 'Customize Buttons' again on the main screen, because it will discard all your edits.
