Apple's New Remote with PowerBooks?

Hello,
I really love the new remote from Apple for their iMac. But, can I use the remote and the new software to control my PowerBook? I would love to control my iTunes on my computer while sitting across the room.
Thanks!
Michael

It is possible to get front row and photobooth to work with ANY mac. im sure apple will not approve of this. but i did a bit of tinkering and found a way. uses escape, enter, and arrow keys. still trying to figure out how to get photobooth to work. i use my logitech mx laser mouse, which i can define the buttons with. so its like a remote, but it does everything, and its RF, so you dont have to be in the line of sight.

  • Apple's new remote

    Will the new remote packaged with the new iMac work with other bluetooth enable devices? I'd love to be able to control my powerbook or even my future mac mini from the couch. Fingers crossed.

    The new remote is an infra red device and not bluetooth.

  • TS1741 New remote with Apple TV 1

    I lost my remote for my Apple TV 1 but I bought a New one and I didn't responde. What can I do now?

    I'm experiencing a similar problem, does this sound familiar?
    To begin with after installing a brand new Apple TV the "Menu" button on the remote was the only button that worked.  I could managed a few menu button functions like pair remote (Menu & Right) and reset (Menu & Down) but that's it.  I couldn't select a language, a wi-fi network or even get to the settings menu.  I had picture (albeit a menu screen) and sound (albeit just beeps when I press the menu button) but NO control.
    The next day I tried again only to find improved but still intermittent functionality which ceased part way through configuration.  So frustrating trying to enter Apple Id, password and wi-fi network codes with the remote working only intermittently!
    Can anyone help Carolin and I out???

  • 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.

  • How to create remotes with version 8  , consolidate db version is 12

    consolidate db and remote agent service are running on sybase sql anywhere 12 , where as remote dbs are running on sql anywhere 8,
    we have already have remotes db running version 8 and want to continue same version due to application .
    now we would like to have more version 8 remote dbs .
    How to create or extract new remotes with version 8  ?

    Starting with V11, the version of DBXTRACT must match that of the consolidated database. This is documented here:
    Extraction utility (dbxtract) behavior change   In previous releases the version of dbxtract used to extract a database did not have to be the same version as the database server running the database. Now, when dbxtract is used with a version 10.0.0 or later database, the version of dbxtract used must match the version of the database server used to access the database. If an older version of dbxtract is used with a newer database server, or vice versa, an error is reported.
    As a consequence, you can no longer use DBXTRACT directly to create a v8 remote database. (Aside:Several years ago, I was surprised by that as well, as can be read in the old NNTP archives...)
    Therefore, to create a remote database for an older version, you will have to use a custom extraction, as described in the help. You may be able to use the reload.sql generated by v12 as a base to then backport the DDL statements to v8 - or you may use an existing v8 reload.sql script and parametrize that so it supports remote users, subcriptions and the like as variables.

    Do you mean you've replaced your remote and it wont work because your AppleTV is paired to your lost remote?
    If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1555 has you covered.

    Let us know how this works for you.
    Also, are you positive the battery in your Apple TV remote is good?
    Never hurts to check or ask.

    Im havingtrouble pairing a new apple remote with apple.tv. Any suggestions? Have followed directions so far.

    A classic chicken/egg problem. I see this in the Apple TV manual:
    You can also hold down Menu and Right for 6 seconds to pair Apple TV and the Apple Remote.
    When you successfully pair your Apple Remote, Apple TV displays a chainlink symbol (          ) above a picture of a remote. Apple TV now works only with the paired remote.
    You might have to change your screen name (kidding).

  • Can you uuse apple remote with new imac

    can you uuse apple remote with new imac

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The new iMac hasn't got an IR port, so it's not possible to use the Apple Remote with the new iMac. See the iMac's specs > http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • Apple TV set up with new TV and now Airyplay won't work

    I bought an Apple TV about 2 months ago, July 2013. I had it set up using my wifi connection and TV at my house, and everything worked great. I could use Netflix, YouTube, and Airplay to play music from my iPhone 5. Now, I just moved in to my new apartment at school and all of a sudden, Airplay and Homesharing don't seem to be working.
    I have a mid-2010 MacBook, but that's never been able to use Airplay because it's outdated. However, with my iPhone5, the airplay icon suddenly doesn't appear anymore. Like i said, everything else on the ATV works fine (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) so I don't think it's my internet connection. I've tried connected it to 2 different TVs in the apartment and neither of them are working with my iPhone. When I go to use the "Remote" app on my phone, it says I need to turn on Homesharing. I have Homesharing turned on for all 3 of my devices (Macbook, iphone, ATV) and I've tried turning them all off, and reconnected. None of that helped.
    I tried calling Apple to get help with the problem, but because of the holiday I can't call until tomorrow.
    Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

    likely the wifi router block the ports required
    non of this is Internet related but LAN related

  • I've bought a new remote for my apple TV and now I can't access the menu

    I just bought a new remote for my Apple TV since I lost the original one.  Now I cannot access the menu as all I get is the standard "screen saver".  Even then, sometimes it won't even turn on, so I have to unplug it and wait two minutes and then plug it back in.  Regardless if I do that or not...........the best I ever get is the screen saver.

  • Pairing a NEW remote for the apple TV (2nd gen)

    We pair all our remotes to our apple products. Our paired remote for our 2nd Generation apple TV was lost, so we bought a new one. How do I pair the new remote, when the Apple TV won't even turn on because our new remote isn't paired with it..? When I press any button on the new remote I only get a double light flash signalling that the remote isn't paired with that product.
    Please help!
    Thanks!
