Attaching an Apple Remote to a MacBook?

I've seen pictures of the iMac online and the Apple Remote looks like it's attached to the right side of the monitor. Is there a way to attach the remote to a white MacBook or did someone use velcro in the iMac picture? ; )
Thanks...

The imac is amde tpo do that by magnetic... but the macbook doesn't do that... if you want to put it somewhere while your using the macbook, you can put it on the top left and right of the screen. (it's magnetic) but it's not ment for that.

  • Can i use an apple remote on my macbook air 11 inches?

    The latest MacBooks no longer include an infrared sensor, so you can't use the Apple remote with them.

  • Prevent Apple Remote from waking MacBook Pro

    The Apple Remote that comes with the new MacBook Pro can be used to put the machine to sleep. It can also be used to wake it from sleep, by pushing any button on the remote.
    Is there a way to prevent the Apple Remote from being able to wake the machine, other than removing its battery or using the Security settings to turn the IR port off? Both seem a little drastic, as I do want to be able to use the remote once the machine is on; I just don't want the remote waking it accidentally, especially when I'm travelling.

    thanks, I had no idea that was possible.
    As for your problem, I don't know, but surely if your MBP is in a bag, and the remote is not in line-of sight, it would not accidentally wake it anyway??
    Also I'm pretty sure the MBP will not wake up if the lid is closed.

  • HT1619 How do I disconnect an Apple remote from my MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion update?

    My friend set up Apple TV while I was using my laptop in the same room and the remote is now connected to my laptop. I've looked at a bunch of different sites and forums trying to figure out how to disconnect it and it seems that with the new Mountain Lion operating system, there is no way to do this. PLEASE HELP it's driving me crazy because everytime he presses a buttom on the remote, it interferes with what I'm doing.

    Sorry, but my late 2009 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion continues to be be controlled by the ATV2 remote after disabling remotes in system preferences. Anyone else having the issue or has a solution?
    Cheers!

    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.

  • New iMac - Apple Remote Still Attaches?

    With these new aluminium iMacs, can you still attach the Apple Remote to the side of them magnetically? In all of the Apple press images, the attached Apple Remote is mysteriously absent. Have they phased that idea out?

    They do have a magnet but no one is telling you about it. On the new imacs it is on the right side of the glass where the black band is. Mine is incredibly weak and the thing keeps sliding down the screen (what about scrathes!) and falling on the table. Plus it just looks crappy. hold your remote up and you'll find a "kind of" magnetic area. I have no idea why anyone would want a white remote in the middle of their shiny glass screen.
    The old idea was better. I'm going to buy a little velcro sticker and keep the remote on the lower right side. Better than on the glass or lost.

  • Can't pair Apple Remote and MacBook Pro + Answer

    I had an issue pairing my Apple Remote with my MacBook Pro.
    The Apple manual says (on page 36):
    To pair your Apple Remote with your MacBook Pro:
    1 Position the Apple Remote 3 to 4 inches from the IR receiver on your MacBook Pro.
    2 Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons on the Apple Remote for 5 seconds.
    After trying and failing several times to pair my remote using these instructions I gave up. While it could be a bit annoying not to have the remote paired it was not a significant enough issue to prompt me to send the notebook in for repair.
    After a few days I decided that there must be a software conflict causing this problem since the remote works fine otherwise.
    I scoured the net for a solution and found nothing. It seemed I was the only one with this problem.
    Based on the premise that you should push all of the buttons and see what happens I tried several other button combinations on the remote. To my surprise holding the Menu + Play/Pause buttons together for five seconds paired the remote with my MacBook Pro.
    I have unpaired and then re-paired the remote several times with this alternate button combination and it works every time.

    My MacBook Pro didn't seem to work with the Apple Remote either, but it turned out that I needed to logout and back in before the system preferences recognised the pairing. This might be something to try if there doesn't seem to be any response from the computer .

  • Apple Remote - Theatrical Trailers??

    I use both a white Apple Remote and a new aluminum Apple Remote with my MacBook Pro-13". It is easy to change the battery on the Aluminum Remote; and with a paperclip one opens the white one and it's the same Battery - OK BUT...
    ...I now see "Theatrical Trailers" as a choice when I choose MOVIES. Is this something that comes via the www to Front Row? How to get these Theatrical Trailers when I am not using Front Row (i.e. via iTunes or only via Apple's web site?)
    Thanks! An interesting discovery while I was trying to change batteries in my remotes!
    Best regards,

    I'm on 10.6.6 iTunes 10.1.1 also. When I select "iTunes Store" of the left sidebar and the "movies" tab at the top, I see a "Movies quick links" on the right sidebar at the top above "Top Charts". The 7th entry down the links is "Theatrical Trailers".
    Hope this helps.

    Edit: These links look like they download rather than stream. You can pick any of the movies and click the "view trailer" and have them stream though.

  • No Apple Remote or Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adaptor included with new MacBooks

    Hi!
    I just picked up a new (black) MacBook yesterday from the Apple Retail Store in Meadowhall (Sheffield). I was quite surprised to open the box and find that the Apple Remote and Mini-DVI to VGA adaptor cable are now optional items and no longer included in the package. Okay, they're not expensive (an extra £30.00 to add both of them), but I just thought I'd mention it to let potential customers know.
    I have to say that I'm very pleased at the speed bump and the 250GB hard drive though (you can never have too much space). Also good to have 2GB RAM out of the box (rather than paying an extra £90.00 for the 2GB model). Excellent!

    bford0001 - 15% restocking fee? Did you buy it from an Apple Retail store? I bought a black MacBook from them just under two weeks ago (a 2.2 with 160GB HD and 2GB RAM) and they let me take it back and walk out of the store without charging me anything!
    One other thing I have noticed - why has the L2 cache dropped to 3MB from 4MB? I know the processor is more powerful, but doesn't that mean it would just about level out, because of the reduction? I noticed the same for the £1,299.00 MacBook Pro and that on the other two models, it's gone up to 6MB. Anyone know how this would change the performance?

  • I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

    Hi all,
    I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
    I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
    Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
    Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
    I've tried both methods, and neither work!
    Here's what happens for each method:
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
    After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
    I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
    I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
    I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did. 

  • How to use my apple tv remote on my macbook?

    Hello, I have an Macbook pro 15 inch retina from 2013 (model number A 1398) and I want to use my apple tv remote on my macbook. But it won't work. When I look on the internet, they say I have to go to system preference -> security and privacy and then you can find your infrared but mine don't show the infrared.
    So can somebody help me to use my remote on my macbook please?

    I do not believe that the newer Mac's support this. You should look at the front bezel and see if it has an IR sensor. If it does, follow the instructions here:

  • New MacBook: No Apple Remote Included?

    Looking at the "What's In The Box" contents for the new MacBooks (Penryn), the Apple Remote is no longer included in the contents. Further, the $19 Apple Remote now shows up as an option in the Configure To Order listing.
    Hopefully, this is a mistake! Surely Apple isn't so cheap as to not include the remote?!
    Mark

    The new Macbook you got today probably isn't the new model which was announced this morning. According to Apple's site, the latest model doesn't include the remote, and the remote is offered as a $19 option on the Apple Store pages for Macbook, Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. Macbook Air owners will already confirm that no remote was provided.
    The remote is used for controlling Front Row, which is, in my opinion, a clunky application for view movies, photos, and listening to music.
