Can I use the Apple Remote with 5th Gen purchased early 2007? IR available?

Have 5th Gen ipod and doesn't react to Apple remote control. Does ipod have infrared capability? Remote states will work on ipods made after 2005. Ipod is in docking station.

Which docking station are you using?
To be used with the Apple Remote, it needs to be one of the two Universal Dock models with a black IR port in the front.
Cheers!

  • Can you use the apple remote to control tv programs?

    Can you use the apple remote control like a tv remote to control tv programs & DVDs on the computer? Everything I've found about the Apple Remote talks about using it for products other than desktops. I watch some regular tv shows on my iMac & would like to be able to use a remote control.
    I have a built-in infrared receiver.
    Thanks!

    You should be able to control DVD playback now with the Apple Remote. You may be able to get a bit of functionality with web sites by using Remote Buddy by using it as a virtual mouse and keyboard:

    but you're not going to get anything close to the sort of functionality you'd get with a remote and a TV.

    Would the apple remote and universal dock allow remote adjustment of the volume level when using and iPod mini? I know the nano and 5g support this feature but am unsure for the mini as my old 3g ipod only gave 'line out' via the dock.

  • Using the Apple Remote with Windows Media Center

    Hello guys
    First of all, I am Swiss, so excuse me for my bad English (grammar and stuff...)
    So, my problem: I bought the Apple Remote and I think it is very awsome! But since Apple has removed Front Row in Lion, I don't really can use it anymore. So I'd tried to use it with Windows 7 Media Center. But it doesn't work correctly. Does anyone know, how to fix that?
    Thank you

    I had a Green Button remote provided with HP PC XP, Vista for Windows Media Center prior to getting Mac Pro.
    Now in Lion, I have Hauppauge WinTV HVR-980 USB adapter (less than $100) including a remote that works in Lion for the Hauppauge TV app.
    In Windows, the same remote works with all "Media Center" processes Music, Pictures, TV... instead of mouse/keyboard. If your TV service requires set top box, then you have to use its remote to change channels.
    If ISP's internet Co-Ax also carries TV signal, you can get Cable Splitter (smple picture):
    http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-Way-TV-RF-Coaxial-Cable-Splitter-CATV-Signal-/320868649 227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab543090b  
    and feed 1 co-ax to USB TV adapter, the other to your Modem/Router.
    The Hauppage USB was a good choice because it serves Mac & Windows.
    Also, In Windows, if you have an XBox, it can be used as "Extender" for your A/V output.

    Although this may not answer your question, it describes other options.

  • Can I use the apple remote on the iPad mini or iPhone 5s?

    Why won't the apple remote I just bought wont' work on my iPhone 5s or iPad mini? It works on my Mac great, but that's not where I need it! What a waste, I spent all day trying to set this up. Nothing in the manual saying it does NOT WORK ON other components. It clearly states it DOES WORK ON OTHER!  grrrr!! I even had to reinstall my backup as I accidentenly pressed "forget this device" and could not get bluetooth to work again. Not user friendly at all. Will return for refund if I cannot get it to work!

  • TS2972 What if I have a different apple ID than my wife? We can't use the apple TV with her account too?

    See above question.

    Have you done the following?
         1.  On your TV screen select menu
         2.  Select settings
         3.  Select iTunes store
         4.  Select account
         5.  Select Add New Account (you can have more than one account here)
    You can then switch between Apple ids which are running different devices and different Apple ids.

  • Can I use an apple remote with the ipad mini?

    I would really like to use a remote. Is it possible?

    Although I know it's not possible, there is a situation in which a remote for the iPad would be useful: when connecting an iPad to a projector to show Keynote presenations--which I do regularly.  It would be great if I could connect the iPad to the projector and then move to a podium or wander about the room and be able to advance slides remotely. 

  • Can I use the SX20 remote with an SX80?

    SX80 has front panel LED labelled IR. Does it support the hand-held IR remote control that ships with the SX20?

    The SX80 doesn't ship or come with a remote, and it's not supported.  Doesn't mean that it might not work as there is an IR sensor.  You can see Mangus' reply in the sx-80-questions discussion about it being not supported.

  • 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.

  • 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.
