search in the list if the phone you have is compatible, then install the little program and you may even have a remote MOUSE by just clicking it on your phone
PS. even if it yoru phone is not in the list there is a big chance that it will work, (mine wasnt in the list and it works like a charm) it is based on java if I understand corectly and most of the phones understand that programing language.

  • 1st generation MacBook not pairing/connecting with Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I just purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPhone and my 1st generation MacBook.
    I managed to pair/connect my keyboard with iPhone on my first try.
    So far, however, I have not been able to pair or connect my keyboard with my MacBook.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi Stefan,
    Thanks for your help. Indeed, I followed the instructions for pairing and connecting the keyboard last night. I shut down my computer last night with the idea that a restart this morning might be helpful. Per your message, I attempted to follow the instructions again a moment ago, with no success.
    Bluetooth on my MacBook and on my keyboard are both on. My MacBook is discoverable. Any thoughts about what the glitch might be?
    Thanks again!

  • HT1555 Two remotes - Both still work with Apple TV and MBP despite pairing

    I have a MBP (early 2011 13") and Apple TV. Therefore, I paired one remote with my MBP and the other remote with Apple TV. Both parings have been successfull (chain icon) but still both remotes can be used on both devices. How can I resolve this issue? (and no, I don't want to disable the IR on my MBP)
    Is it possible that the two remotes have by coincidence the same ID?

    I am sure that I have done that correctly. Apple TV and MBP states that a remote has been paired, but still both work on both devices. Is it possible that both remotes have the same ID (by coincidence)?

  • Apple TV - can I pair my macbook and my wife's macbook at the same time with different itunes accounts?

    Just bought the Apple TV2 yesteday.
    I'd like to pair both my macbook and my wifes macbook to the Apple TV.  We both have seperate iTunes accounts.
    Is this possible without having to sign on or the other out of apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can do that. The key to this is remembering your homesharing ID and your iTunes account ID are not the same thing (although you can use your account details for your homesharing details)
    Set up homesharing in both instances of iTunes using the same information in each, your Apple TV will then see both libraries.

  • How to pair a new remote for Apple TV First Gen Without the Old Remote?

    We bought the first generation apple tv when it first came out. When we got it, it came with the old small plastic remote. A few years back we lost the plastic remote and decided to one of the new metal remotes but 1 problem. We can pair the new remote with the old apple tv without the old remote.
    If anyone knows a work around to this problem... that would be great. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • Apple tv all of a sudden not responding to remote and will not pair

    My apple TV will not respond to the aluminum remote it came with.  I have tried pairing the remote again by holding the menu and the right button and will not work.  I also have changed the battery.  The apple tv was able to pair with the remote for my imac, but I would like to have separate remotes.   Any ideas?

    When I take out the battery of the aluminum remote and then put it back the Apple TV will respond with the 3 blinking lights as if it's not paired. But after a while the Apple TV light will not blink or respond to anything from the aluminum remote. Also, the remote worked fine for over a year.
    Not sure if this info suggests anything different then a faulty remote, but just wanted to check.
    Thanks for your help.

    After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin  - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks

    It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

  • Apple Wireless Mouse - No Longer Pairs with Mac Mini?

    Hi there,
    I've had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an Apple Wireless Mouse for several months. Unfortunately, the Apple Wireless Mouse no longer pairs with the Mac Mini (Core Duo, 1.66) -- it is getting very frustrating.
    I've tried rebooting the machine, restarting the mouse, and nothing works. Sometimes I get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant which says that it found 1 Mouse, but it failed to pair.
    I replaced the batteries, but nothing changes.
    Help!

    Normally that's caused by debris under the trackball preventing the rollers from moving.  Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball Vigorously with a microfiber cloth. 
    The symptoms are usually that scroll will work one direction but not the other.

  • HT201335 can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

    can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    Have you held the menu and left arrow together for 6 secs ?  (I think you have from what you say).
    Also try unpowering and restarting AppleTV.

    No, sorry. it won't work with the 2007 MBP. You can replace the optical drive yourself - just go shopping at OWC.

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

    Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

    I have same results. I have an ipad mini and it will not pair with my apple keyboard. I bought a mini keyboard with bluetooth 3.0 and it will not pair either.  Is my ipad defective?  Or do i need a keyboard with bluetooth 4.0?  Also - the mini keypad will pair with my ipad2 and my iphone 4.  Only difference I can find is the ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0.  Seems it should be downward compatible but maybe not.. I am not a blutooth expert!

  • HT201335 Mirroring with MacBook Air on Apple TV

    I just purchased Apple TV in hopes of mirroring the screen from my Air. It meets the requirements of being from mid 2011 and the software is all up to date. The troubleshooting tips are for the smaller devices...... I need help for sure...

    What version of OSX are you running? It needs to be 10.8 (or later). Go To About This Mac (top left) if unsure.

  • Apple TV 2 choppy video playback when mirroring from Macbook Pro (Yosemite) and Macbook Air (Yosemite) but not iOS devices

    Video playback is choppy (cuts out every 30-45 seconds) when air playing from both my MacBook Air 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 running Yosemite and my husbands new MacBook Pro, but runs perfectly when mirroring from any of our iOS devices (iPhone 6+, iPad mini 3, etc.) We have Apple TV 2. This problem just started a few weeks ago, was working fine around Christmas. The problem seems to have coincidentally started right after our son tried plugging in and setting up his Chromecast on our tv. I disconnected the Chromecast, but we still have the problem. All of our software if up to date and I've tried disconnecting blue tooth, we do not have a microwave and our wifi network has a very strong signal. We have an Airport Extreme base station. Is there a solution to our problem?

    Hi leahmturner,
    I see that you are experiencing an issue with choppiness while AirPlay Mirroring from your computers to your Apple TV. I have an article that contains some helpful troubleshooting steps for you regarding this issue:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201343
    Optimizing image quality
    Resolution matching modes
    You can choose between two desktop resolution matching modes that let you select which display will have the best image. When AirPlay Mirroring is turned on, select an option under "Match Desktop Size To:" in the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra.
    Match Desktop Size To: Apple TV
    AirPlay Mirroring changes the desktop resolution to best match your Apple TV, resulting in a 16:9 image that fills the HDTV screen. This setting often produces the sharpest image on the HDTV. The aspect ratio and/or resolution of the built-in Mac display may change to accommodate the Apple TV.
    Match Desktop Size To: This Mac
    AirPlay Mirroring scales the contents of the desktop to fit on the Apple TV, leaving the resolution of your Mac's display unchanged. Use this setting for the sharpest image on your Mac's display. Depending on your Mac model, the resulting image may not fill the HDTV screen.
    Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring
    If you don't see mirroring options
    If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
    If the menu bar or Dock is cropped
    Some HDTVs have bezels that cover a small percentage of the screen. This can result in a slight cropping of a full-resolution HDTV image. Depending on the HDTV model, AirPlay Mirroring may automatically adjust the picture size to prevent cropping.  If you are using OS X Mountain Lion or later, and you see cropping of the menu bar or Dock when using AirPlay Mirroring, toggle the Overscan correction option in Displays preferences.
    Minimize video post-processing
    HDTVs often apply picture quality enhancements intended to improve the look of film and video sources. In some cases, these enhancements can lead to over-sharpening artifacts when displaying your Mac desktop. Some HDTV models have built-in settings to change or disable the enhancements for use with a computer (computer, presentation, or game modes). Otherwise, the controls for sharpness, detail enhancement and noise reduction can be used to optimize the appearance of the Mac desktop. Consult your HDTV’s manual for guidance on the appropriate settings for use with a computer.
    Firewall security settings
    If you use a firewall, make sure the following firewall security options have been set to allow AirPlay Mirroring to work:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
    Click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall.
    Click the lock icon to unlock it if it's locked, then type an administrator name and password.
    Click Firewall Options.
    Deselect (uncheck) the “Block all incoming connections” checkbox.
    Select (check) the “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • OS X 10.9, Apple Wireless Keyboard won't pair

    I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro, and want to set up my old Apple Wireless keyboard to it. I can't find it on the list of discoverable devices, yet it is powered on with new batteries. THe keyboard is an older model with the 3 battery operation instead of two.
    I have booted my machine
    have done an SMC and PRAM reset which did not help
    Since this is a new computer I doubt I would have to reinstall the OS
    I also have a Magic Mouse and it works fine, but the keyboard won't show up on the bluetooth device list, nor can I set it up using the setup assistant.
    Thank you

    Hi Nightrain,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article goes through the steps of pairing the keyboard:
    Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1809
    Now pair the keyboard with the computer:
    Press and release the On/Off switch to turn on your wireless keyboard.
    The green LED should begin blinking if the keyboard is not already paired and connected to another computer. The blinking LED indicates that the keyboard is in the discoverable mode. If you don't pair your keyboard with your Mac within three minutes, the indicator light and keyboard will turn off to preserve battery life. If this happens, press the On/Off switch to turn your keyboard on again. Note: If the LED doesn't turn on, make sure you have good batteries in the keyboard and that they are properly installed.
    On the computer you wish to pair the keyboard with, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Keyboard from the View menu.
    Click “Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard ...” in the lower-right corner to open Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
    Select your wireless keyboard, then follow the onscreen instructions to pair it with your Mac. You will be asked asked to enter an 8 digit passkey.  Important: You MUST press Return after you enter the 8 digit code.
    Are you seeing the light on the keyboard blink as described in step 2?
    Cheers,
    - Ari
