Apple remote doesn't work with 2011 Mac Mini

Purchased today, 8/17/2011, from Apple store new Mac Mini with Apple remote.  Sucessfully paired the remote in "Security & Privacy" area, the "Disable remote" box is NOT checked. 
When I press the menu button nothing happens. If I start a show in iTunes the "play/pause" buttons work but nothing else. Front Row doesn't show up anywhere. Apple rep said remote worked w/new Mini just like it does with all Mac's. 
Anyone heard why it doesn't? Is this a Lion issue that Apple will remedy. Total deal killer for me, as we prefer to use the remote when watching shows
Very disappointed today

There's no FrontRow with Lion it's been discontinued ...
There's some possible work-arounds here:

  • HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password.  One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses.  Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

    Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse.  I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password.  One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption.  If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

    No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
    There are two options:
    stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
    Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.

  • Does The Apple USB Modem Work With The Mac mini ??????

    Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully used the new Apple USB Modem with the Mac mini, is it compatable ????
    Thank you for your input on this.
    Mike D.

    It says it works with the Mac mini, but does it really? I just received my modem yesterday and could not get it to work with my 1.42 mini - the more expensive one that comes without a dialup modem! I looked carefully at the specs and it appears the Apple USB modem requires Mac OS 10.4.3, not the 10.4.2 that comes with the Mac mini.
    Talk about stupid! And the mini docs say it comes with the "latest" version of Tiger. Not! So I can download the upgrade, I guess. IF I could get on the internet! This is extremely annoying. I guess I'll have to download the upgrade on another computer and transfer it somehow. Boy, those Apple guys sure are tech geniuses, aren't they???

  • Apple Remote won't work with Logic

    I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

    jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
    I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

    I have problem the apple tv.
    Why the airplay in the apple tv doesn't work with my ipad,every time i set the password in the air play it won't allow and the (clear password) come out on the screen

    connect the atv to a tv which does support the resolution and then lower the resolution and then connect it with your tv once more

  • Can someone tell me why a standard microphone doesn't seem to work with a mac-mini? Is there another kind of microphone I need to use?

    can someone tell me why a standard microphone doesn't seem to work with a mac-mini? Is there another kind of microphone I need to use?

    Most microphone output a low voltage signal that must be put through a preamp.
    The computer needs to have a line voltage signal level instead.

    Something as simple as your method of payment having expired could be causing your problems. Use the link below to check all info, especially your payment info, for your Apple ID.

  • My  Samsung Sync Master 225UW's camera (webcam) won't work with my Mac mini

    Hi,
    I need help making my monitor's webcam work with my Mac mini. I have Mac OS X 10.5. When the computer launches the screen turns on, everything's perfect but the webcam will not turn on when I launch Photo Booth or iChat....what should I do?

    That camera doesn't work with my mac either (I'm using it right now with a g4 powerbook, but will try again with my new power mac coming in... though I doubt it will make a difference)
    The 225UW is specially made for Windows Vista, and I wonder if it needs a mac driver for the camera or something. We may be S.O.L. I knew that was a possibility when I ordered this monitor. Oh well... pay yer money... take yer chances.

  • Will the 20" work with a Mac Mini?

    I've heard that the apple cinema monitors only work on PowerMac G4's and G5's. Is a Mac Mini a powermac g4. or will the monitor work with a mac mini?

    Yes, all the latest Cinema displays work with the mini except for the 30".

  • Would these Viewsonic Monitors work with the Mac Mini?

    Hi,
    I ordered the latest mac mini and I need to order a monitor...Due to my budget constrainsts I cannot order a Dell Ultrasharp, so I'm looking at a viewsonic...
    .I want to do some webdesign on it, so I don't need a lot of color accuracy  ....But would this work with the Mac mini?
    ViewSonic VX2363smhl-w 23-Inch SuperClear IPS LED Monitor  1920x1080
    do I need to buy any type of cable?   the conectors it has are
    15-pin mini D-sub (VGA) / HDMI (x1) , HDMI/MHL (x1)

    Those monitor's will work fine.
    One will connect to the Mac Mini's HDMI output port using the supplied HDMI cable.
    For the other you will need either a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter or better yet a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter.

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFQL2VC/A/moshi-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapt er-4k
    Either will work for the second monitor, but personally I would go with the (Digital) HDMI adapter instead of the (Analog) VGA adapter.

  • How do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    ow do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    If the camera registers itself as a standard UVC compliant Cameras (UVC = USB Video Class) then the Mac will recognise and use it with nothing else needed as the Mac has a built-in UVC driver. If it does not act as a UVC type device then you could look at the following third-party drivers.
    http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    http://www.ioxperts.com/dcam.html
    I have seen some reports suggesting that at least some Dell monitor models will act as UVC compatible webcams and should 'just work'.
