Apple TV remote "controls" the iMac's Volumn!

My new Apple TV remote obviously is able to control the volumn of my iMac when I toggle the remote up and down although I have paired the remote to Apple TV.  Any suggestion and solution?  Appreciate.

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

  • Apple tv remote control is operating itunes on computer

    Occasionally when clicking on the Apple TV remote control, the volume on my computer is being changed at the same time. My computer and Apple TV are in the same room , so how can I make it so the remote only controls the Apple TV?

    Turning off home sharing will not help, indeed it will stop your Apple TV connecting to your iTunes library.

  • Remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC with the new IPad

    With the latest version of ITunes for both Win7 and the new IPad, I'm only able to use the new IPad to remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC through wired connection  ( ethernet cable ) to the wireless router. As soon as I connect my PC through wireless connection, the new IPad can not find my libraries.
    Is this a known issue or am I missing some settings?
    Thanks,

    Are you using the 64 bit installer?

  • HT201343 Controlling the iMac desktop from a different room using mirroring (mouse/keyboard)?

    How are you meant to control the imac desktop from a different room using mirroring (mouse/keyboard)? Is there an app for that? Or a solution?

    Tried the trackpad out in the lounge and it worked, it's a little less responsive, but a far cry better than using McTivia with usb bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard. I guess the airplay mirroring is at the stage of an add on gimmick. Perhaps in the future AppleTV versions will come with bluetooth support to allow for serious use of the mirroring, especially with gaming. Thanks people!

  • Apple TV remote controls iTunes

    Using the Apple TV remote to select something.  When I hit play it not only plays the movie on Apple TV it also plays a random song in iTunes on my computer.  This is also happening at a friends house.  Any setting changes that can be done?

  • Just bought Apple TV today, have one problem, how to have the remote control the TV alone, not my mac pro ...

    just bought the Apple TV today, connected with my Pioneer Elite receiver, works great with my iPhone 5, HD movie steam without any problem. but when i open my MBP, problem start surface, i try to do the home sharing, but the remote control not only control my apple tv, but control my MBP as well, so it mess up everything. please help also the Apple TV keep on resume playing music or video without permission, for example, i was trying to watch a photo slideshow, but it keeping switch back to playing the video files i last watched. any ideas?

    As for the remote issue, what version of OS X are you using?
    With the latest version of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 you will find the remote control setting in Preferences/Sharing/Privacy then click the Advanced button at the bottom. Check "Disable remote control infrared receiver" or pair a different Apple remote to prevent the ATV's remote from controlling the computer.

  • My remote controls the TV and my laptop

    When I have my laptop in the room while I'm using Apple TV, the remote control controls both the computer and the TV. Front Row pops up in full screen mode. How can I make disable the remote on the laptop or better yet, sync the remote with the TV.

    Had the same problem with one of my laptops and the TV... I ended up going into the Applications section, the utilities, system preferences, and the library sections of the computer and deleting EVERYTHING that said Front Row.
    I know it's a bit of an extreme but it did seem to do the trick. Unfortunately I noticed the IR port in the front of the computer after I had done all that. Suppose it would have been easier to just put some tape or white out over it instead. Oh well....
