If your Harmony remote is not detected by the Logitech Harmony Remote Control Software, please try updating to the latest version of the Logitech Harmony Remote software.

If after upgrading your remote it is not detected by the software you will need to manually configure the USB drivers to ensure that the remote is communicating with the software. These steps will guide you through manually configuring the Logitech Harmony USB drivers:
  1. Connect the Harmony remote to the computer via the USB cable and click OK
  2. Double-click the System Preferences icon in the dock.
