Did you all get your iRed issues straightened out?
Just wanted to post an update to mine in case you haven't...
Some years ago I had to abandon iRed and I developed a way for Indigo to fire IR signals through an ethernet IRTrans without using iRed. I've never looked back.
At the time, I had to use a Windows PC for one step of the initial programming process, but I'm happy to report that I was able to pull all this off today using just my Mac!
To be fair: since part of the programming process requires Window's software, I did have to use VMWare Fusion running XP, but that worked today where last time it didn't. I suspect it has something to do with the updated version of Fusion or the Intel processors I now have that I didn't before.
And also to be fair: I did use iRed 1's built in tools to translate some discrete Pronto codes into the codes that iRTrans uses. You don't need iRed to learn codes from a remote, the iRTrans and its own software can do that quite nicely. And there may be a way to make the code conversions without iRed, I just use iRed because I own it and know how to, so I've never pursued another method. I snag discrete codes from the 'net for things that my Sony TVs and amps can do that aren't built in to their remotes (like switching HDMI inputs directly instead of scrolling through on-screen menus).
I find this setup much simpler, and faster, than using iRed, but the process is not for the faint of heart. Since it's too lengthy to describe here, I'll spare you all, but if someone is curious or needs the method, I'll be happy to share...
