Harmony 650 Remote Firmware Update
During the installation of the Harmony remote software. Update your Harmony remote by clicking on Update Remote. Regards, Omar. Scott May 13, 2010 at 20:57. Using older firmware? Typically, syncing your remote will be sufficient to update your Harmony software. However, if you're using older firmware, then you'll need to.
Sure the answer is simple and this will be straightforward, but forewarned is forearmed, as they say. I have a new TV arriving next week, as my current one's well and truly on the way out after six-and-a-half years. I've had a Harmony 650 for more than four of those years without issue, barring a couple when I was understanding the set-up process. None of my equipment has been updated in that time, barring the laptop and Harmony software I used to set up the remote.
The Logitech site directs me to download software again for my Mac. Am I right in thinking that, after that, it will recognise my settings and will be just a case of removing the current TV and adding the new one to the relevant activities?

Alternatively, given I've got redundant activities now (don't have the facility to watch standard TV as opposed to Sky, and don't have a VHS machine any more, so there are two), would I be better off starting from scratch? Many thanks in advance for any advice.
And sorry, my wording might have been ambiguous. The Logitech site suggests I need download software to do update the 650. I will need to download it because the last time I 'managed' anything on the remote was years ago, on an old laptop that's long gone.
And because that was four years ago, I'm no longer used to anything and just want to do whatever's going to be best/easiest. I'll plug it into the Mac when the time comes and see what happens, and will come back, cap in hand, if it's not straightforward. Somehow, at some point in the past four years, I'd managed to use the Harmony Remote Software and the My Harmony app software to set up the remote. Goodness knows how. The Harmony Remote Software wouldn't work on my Mac because it needed Java, which I've no desire to install.
The My Harmony app worked fine, but was missing the Apple TV from my devices. I suspect I had used that for the initial set up years ago, but then added the Apple TV using the Harmony Remote Software. Or something.
But anyway, all's well that ends well and it's all sorted and working perfectly, touch wood. Also gave me the opportunity to tidy up some of my sequences, where firmware updates to the Sky box over the years had made some not work quite as they should have done.
A reader who wishes to remain anonymous writes in with a question about an answer. You mentioned that Logitech’s Harmony Remote Software was behind the times in regard to modern devices. And while that’s true, the company created the that replaces that software on newer Harmony devices. I’ve found it much better for dealing with newer devices. I’ve now added the hashtag #mybad to that article (and have updated it). You’re correct, the MyHarmony app is the way to go if you have a modernish Harmony remote (meaning a Harmony Ultimate; Harmony Ultimate Hub; Harmony Smart Control; Harmony Touch, Harmony Ultimate One; Harmony One+; Harmony 700, 650, 600, 300, 200, 350; or Harmony Link). For those who haven’t discovered it, here’s the gist. Vb Net 2008 Tutorial Pdf Bahasa Indonesia on this page.
Download your copy and make a USB connection between your Harmony remote and computer. Launch MyHarmony and you’ll be prompted to enter your user ID and password. (If you have a user ID created under the older Harmony Remote Software you’ll have to create a new account. Don’t worry, you can copy settings from the old account.) You’ll then be prompted to add devices.
Under the new scheme you need only enter a device’s brand and model number rather than pick a particular kind of activity (“Watch a DVD,” for example). The software supports a couple of hundred thousand devices so it’s a good bet that your device will be found. (And if the model number you enter doesn’t exactly match, the software will make suggestions for models it has in its database.) Adding devices to your Harmony remote is much easier with MyHarmony. You then create activities by ganging together devices—add your TV, receiver, and Roku box, for example—and then choose which input to use on your receiver or TV. When you choose an activity on the remote, all the appropriate devices should switch on and play as expected.

Note that MyHarmony can’t bestow features to your remote that it can’t support. For example, although the software will allow you to add devices that can be controlled only via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi—your Mac mini or Nest thermostat, for example—something like a Harmony One does you no good as it supports only IR communication. If you have an older Harmony remote, you’re stuck with the old software.
