how to use apple dvd remote player?

What year iMac do you have?
Are you asking about the separate Apple remote or Apple DVD player or both?
If your iMac is the new slimline models, there is no longer a bulit-in IR receiver input to use the separate Apple remote any longer.
If you want to control your iMac remotely.
If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Here's an app

How to use the dvd drive...?

Hi Guys,
Just bought my new 15" 2.53 Mhz Duo Core MacBook Pro a month ago but until now I haven't figured out how to use the DVD drive. Well I can't seem to find where it is actually... Does all MacBook Pro has dvd drive? Coz when I check back apple's website and look for the same macbook pro specification like my one, it has a dvd drive included so I thought my macbook has it for sure but can't or don't know how to use it... This is my first time to have an apple that's why...
Hoping for your help..
Thanks,
Danny

Hi there Danny.
I believe you are looking for the location of the DVD drive... right?
If you are looking at your computer while it is open, it should be on the right hand side... "under" the keyboard. There is a slit that allows the DVD to be inserted into the computer. I think if you start to insert a DVD in there (shiney side down) part way, it will suck it into the computer.
(note: I'm not exactly sure, because I use a 7 year old iBook that has a pop-out DVD tray... but I think it will suck it in for you)

How to use iphone as remote client to pc

how to use iphone as remote client to pc

Search the app store for remote desktop client apps - there are many. You may also need to configure a VPN connection. iOS 6 has a built in VPN, although if you use a VPN over SSL you may need to get an app for that too.
On my iPad, I use Cisco's AnyConnect and RDP app and it works alright (I would not want to use it often, but it gets the job done when needed). Never tried it from an iPhone as I image it would be horrible to actually use (scrolling to see all of the remote desktop, the keyboard on the iPhone covering most of the visible desktop - all sorts of awkwardness).

Clock freezes after using Apple DVD Player

I am having a small and annoying issue with the Apple DVD Player (v 4.6.5). This just started happening recently. Everytime I run a DVD (or video TS file, etc) on the software player-it performs as usual. After quitting the application and choosing to eject the disc, I notice there is a longer lag from when I first used the computer, then the little colored wheel of death spins, and eventually Apple DVD Player closes.
The problem, however, is after the application is closed out, my time freezes in the status bar in the upper right hand corner of the screen. (As I write this it says 1:16 and the time in the apple "date and time" preferences panel of OSX says it's 2:14-which is the real time) If I drag the cursor up to the time status bar in the upper right hand corner, it turns into the spinning color wheel, and back again once dragged out.
Once the computer restarts, the time in the upper right goes back to normal with no spinning wheel (until I open Apple DVD Player and quit out of it again). I know this is not an earth-shattering issue, but it is fairly annoying and abnormal. If anyone has suggestions, please help.

It sounds like you found your answer but I also wanted to mention that this is a known BUG when using DVD Player and the Digital Optical Out of a G5. If you look at activity monitor when the Clock is dead and you get the Beach Ball the SystemUIServer will be listed as not responding. If you Force quit this process everything should start working again. As long as the LoginWindow Process is running the SystemUIServer will restart when needed after the force quit.
HOWEVER, The other part of this bug with Digital Optical Out is that sometimes the LoginWindow Process will also stop responding. In this case a Log-Out is the only way to correct the problem. The third part of this bug is sometimes the Finder also stops responding but a Relaunch will fix that.
As I said it sounds like you found your problem but I wanted to post this incase others out there using the Digital Optical Out read this and don't correct their problem.
Also, If you were using the "DOO" by deleting the .plist will set the DVD player back to SYSTEM falsely making one think the problem is fixed.
Last I know this is a known bug because I submitted it as a bug to Apple and received an e-mail stating they know of this problem already.

Did Apple Break HD-DVD Playback with Mountain Lion using Apple DVD Player?

First of all, kindly spare me the commentary about Blu-Ray beating HD-DVD. Agreed and not the question. I have perfectly good reasons for using HD-DVD and it works very well for my purposes.
I authored an HD-DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2. as I have done many times before on Snow Leopard, but this time on Mountain Lion. When I try to play the HD-DVD, either from the physical disk from a disk image, the menu appears, but when the play button is pressed, the menu stays on screen, but the player shows the timecode of the movie playing, but with no sound or picture.
Thinking that perhaps the menu got corrupted, I put the same HD-DVD into a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and it played perfectly! Conclusion: Not a DVD Studio Pro problem.
Thinking that it might be DVD Player, I copied DVD Player 5.4 from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro to the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (which was running DVD Player 5.6), and the HD-DVD still had the same issue on the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro, under either of the DVD Player versions. Conclusion: Not a DVD Player issue.
The HD-DVD does mount and initialize, so it's not a hardware issue with the optical drive.
Conclusion: It would appear to me that it's an OS issue with Mountain Lion breaking (either intentionally or unintentionally), HD-DVD playback. Anyone know anything more about this issue? Anyone else saddened to see Apple turn into Microsoft circa 2005, and the MacOS turn into Vista? I haven't seen much of anything about it in the forums, which is why I'm posting it here.
Thanks Apple. I just spent the better part of 3 days transcoding and authoring this HD-DVD, only to have you screw it up for me 2 days before my film festival (the perfectly good reason for using HD-DVD). Kindly spare me the, "Why don't you encode a ProRes blah blah blah quicktime movie." Heard it all before.
I knew I would regret upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I do more and more each and every day as I continually find more things that it broke. Yet another reason to add to my list for downgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm up to about 30 of them. Or to abandon Final Cut for Adobe products.
Thanks and sorry for the rant, but I'm justifiably frustrated.

Update: The Apple Store in Nashua, New Hampshire replicated the issue on their own hardware, so yes, Apple did break HD-DVD playback with Mountain Lion (it does still work in Lion, they discovered). The Apple Store reported the issue to engineering, but the more people that report the issue, the more likely Apple will do something about it. Thanks Apple.

How to use Apple TV with Logitech Harmony remote WITHOUT having to unpair?

I have a Logitech Harmony 880 remote which I am trying to set up with my new Apple TV.
Within the Logitech software I set up Apple TV as a MediaCenter PC device.
I've followed these instructions already.
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8480
The Harmony remote works great with the Apple TV if I follow these instructions to unpair the remote EVERY time I want to use it. Once I turn the TV off or switch to another activity, it loses this setting and I have to unpair again when I go back to Apple TV.
I would like to be able to use my Harmony Remote without having to unpair constantly.
I have tried to pair the Apple TV with the Harmony remote. This only served to render my Apple Remote nonfunctional and I still have to unpair every time.
I tried to use the Harmony remote's IR learning mode directly with my Apple Remote instead of using the settings from the database. I still have to unpair every time.
I tried to go into the Apple TV > Settings > General > Remote and have Apple TV learn my remote's IR. There are instructions to hold down each button until a progress bar is full. The first button is the up arrow. The progress bar never activates when I push the up arrow on my Logitech Harmony remote although I know the Apple TV is somewhat recognizing the button press because I hear an auditory beep and see the led light on the front of the Apple TV flash when I push the button. None of the arrow buttons of the Harmony remote would activate the on screen progress bar although some buttons such as the Volume buttons would.
At this point, I resigned myself to having to unpair every time I accessed my Apple TV so I thought I would get smart and program the unpair button to show up as one of the additional buttons on the lcd screen of the Harmony Remote when I start the Apple TV activity. I'm sure by now you can see where this is going. My attempts to outsmart my advanced technological devices failed dismally as it seems the unpair option of the Harmony remote will only function correctly if I first press the Devices button and then choose the Apple TV.
I was wondering if anyone had gotten a Logitech Harmony remote to work successfully with the new Apple TV without having to use the unpair command every time and if so, what did you do to resolve this issue?

I'm having the same issue except that I set up the Apple TV as a Media PC on my Harmony 770 and that gave me the unpair addition button that actually works. Per your idea, I've been using that to gain functionality of my Apple TV 3 from the Harmony remote.
However that's just a workaround. I've gone a step further and learned the raw commands and it still won't work. This makes me think the issue is on the Apple TV refusing to recognize the remote unless you press "unpair" everytime.
Is anyone else having this issue on the current Apple TV 3 firmware?

How to use Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)

I have Apple mpeg2 plugin + Streamclip on my computer, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to use the two to open my DVD in imovie!
Help~

Ooops! I had a copy of QTKirk's explanation positioned under the Apple link (didn't notice the source!), and thought that both were connected. Here's his explanation:
"Read the FAQ page so you understand completely before you buy.
Install this new software [Apple MPEG2 Playback] and quit and relaunch QT Player (if running).
Open QT Player and then insert your DVD. Quit DVD Player if it starts.
From the "File" menu of the QuickTime Player choose "Open File". Navigate to the DVD and its VIDEO_TS folder and click OK. Your file should now be playing in QuickTIme Player.
QuickTIme Pro can't edit or export this file with audio. It can't be imported into iMovie until it is converted.
Download and install MPEG Streamclip (free).
Open MPEG Streamclip, navigate to your DVD and choose the VIDEO_TS folder. Click OK and it will open in Streamclip.
Choose "Export" and pick DV Stream. Wait for the conversion to finish. It will make a new file (you name it).
Open iMovie and "Import" this new .dv file and make your edits, etc. "
It may be of use to the OP.
Thanks, Sue:-)
