How can I stop my Apple TV remote from controlling my iMac?

Every time I click to control my Apple TV with the remote it came with it starts to also control my iMac. Is there a way to seperate the two so this doesn't happen any longer?

1. System preferences
2. Security
3. Uncheck box at disable infrared receiver.
4. Done.

  • How can I stop my apple tv remote from affecting my laptop?  It turns on Front Row and iTunes.

    Every time I use the remote to my apple tv it interferes with my macbook and starts the Front Row application or change the volume or make iTunes start playing.  Even if I am standing away from the laptop with my body between the lap top and the apple tv using the remote this happens.  It drives me insane and makes me want to throw my laptop out the window.  Truly, this is making me crazy.

  • How can I stop my Apple TV waking from sleep every morning?

    My router is off every night and when it comes on in the morning, so does the Apple TV. Can't find a setting to stop it doing this!

    Network activity is waking the Apple TV, you could always set the sleep to never (uses very little power) or unplug the device.

  • How can I make my Apple tv remote stop interacting with my MacBook and my iMac? Everytime I press the reote, the sound will go up or down on my computers or they will wake up.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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)

  • HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

    How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
    Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
    - displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
    - not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
    I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
    It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

    Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
    (It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

  • How can I stop my IOS 7 device from sharing my location with IOS 8 devices?

    How can I stop my IOS 7 device from sharing my location with IOS 8 devices? My friend who upgraded their device to IOS 8 said that I'm automatically sharing my location via iMessage details.  I don't want to upgrade to IOS 8 yet because I don't have space.  Is there a way to disable sharing my location with IOS 8 devices by default?  I don't want to turn all location services off because I frequently use Google Maps.

    Actually that's not true. I have a device (iPhone) running ios 7. My friend has an iphone running ios 8. When she clicked into her imessage thread with me, clicks on details in the top right corner it will show her my GPS location. It's doing this automatically because I do not have ios 8 on my phone therefore I don't have the ability to "stop sharing my location". Apple is automatically sharing the location.  If you are using an ios 8, apple automatically pulls in location data for anyone you are messaging not using ios 8. I haven't found a way around this unless you turn off all location services on your phone which is immensely disturbing.

    How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?  I have the 4s she has the 4.  When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced.  She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

    This is with iMessages only, and because she has the same email address available and selected under You can be reached at at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

    No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

  • How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing

    How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing every time iWeb starts up?
    Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
    Who knows these tricks?

    iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera.  Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.
