You can using a trick. Add yourself to the address book and send yourself a message. Turn the Wii off and wait for the console to glow. It should stay glow until you read the message you sent.

you cant add youself...sadly.

GCN and Wii functions can't mix

My Wiimote won't connect with the Wii!
Open the battery cover on the Wiimote and the SD card slot, and press both sync buttons at the same time. Problem fixed!

It doesn't read the disc!
Try inserting the disk the other way round. After that, if it doesn't work, make sure the disk isn't scratched or dirty. If such is the case, clean it with a small damp cloth. If it STILL doesn't work, call Nintendo or something.

The strap on the Wiimote broke...
Well, from here on there's about two things you can do:
1. Make sure you play more carefully.
2. Call/Mail Nintendo for a replacement at 1-800-859-4519 (credit to Mario Gamer).

My battery only lasts like 2 days. *sigh*
I suggest you turn down your volume a bit since most people (you may be included!) find it excruciatingly annoying, and since it's wirelessly transmitted, it consumes more battery. You could also turn off rumble but there are some people that won't live without it. And games that use the Nunchuk also consume a considerable amount of energy.

I can't get my Wii anywhere! What do I do?
Oredering is a good choice here, since it's bound to get to you some time or other. But you could also camp out

I want a good game for my Wii, but I can't find one anywhere!
That's because the list of availiable games isn't too large. If you want to check the Wikipedia article to see what good games there are, feel free to do so. Or you could (like some people) wait a little longer for other great titles to come out.

My Wii won't connect to the internet...
Make sure you have a compatible router and that your internet connection is on. If you're using the Nintendo USB WFC connector, as always, make sure your internet is connected and that there are as least possible obstructions between the console and the adapter.

My Wiimote isn't working properly.
There are several possible reasons. First, check if your Wii sensor bar setting is set below/above your TV accordingly. Second, recalibrate the sensitivity if you feel the pointer is too shaky. Third, again, try the sync thing. Fourth, check the batteries aren't wasted. In this case, replace them, but usually if the Wii feels the battery is too low it will warn you.

I can't buy things on the Shop Channel!
That's because you need Wii Points which can be acquired through a credit card or Point cards (usually availiable at retailers).

What?! The power button light is orange!
This means you have WiiConnect24 on. With this, you can get mail and various updates and such even when the console is off. And no, it's not gonna explode.

I can't send messages to my friends.
Make sure your friends know your friend codes and (if you have changed) you are all up to date with each other's. Other than that, the activation process for registrating a friend takes a while.

You can using a trick. Add yourself to the address book and send yourself a message. Turn the Wii off and wait for the console to glow. It should stay glow until you read the message you sent.

Draco says:
The cursor for my remote is acting weird!
Check that no extremely bright lights (i.e. Christmas trees) are nearby.
Adjust the sensor bar so that nothing is blocking it - it should be on the very edge of the top of your TV, or maybe sitting in front of it. It should be parallel to your screen. You will then need to configure the Wii settings for light sensitivity and tell it whether the sensor is above or below the television.
Similarly, do not play right on top of your television. Back away a few feet.
You can use two evenly spaced and fairly bright candles in place of the sensor bar if it absolutely refuses to work.

My arms hurt while using the remote or Nunchuk.
You are using them wrong. Flicking your wrist will probably cause tension and cramps. And arthritis. Move your whole arm, or at least forearm, to use the controllers.

If I forgot anything, feel free to tell me!

another thing about the aches and pains
don't shake the Wii remote and nunchuk for a couple hours straight

stay out of the way of other people on backswings,hammerings,etc..........

stay out of the way of tables and etc. too

actually i think a computer can only support 7 remotes because the bluetooth USB adaptor counts as one of the 8 devices

Why can only one remote turn the Wii on and off?

That isn't true. If your remote is synchronized with the Wii, it shouldn't matter. Unless you mean if you have more than one remote powered on...

Apologies for the nostalgia.

Your remote must be screwed up. I'll test mine out later...
