How do i troubleshoot my infrared receiver on my macbook pro?

Question

I have a working apple remote that I used on my previous macbook pro (early '08 model) that i'm trying to use on my new macbook (late 2011 model) and it doesnt seem to pair. I have ensured the remote is in working order by testing the battery, detecting the infrared signal from the remote under a digital camera, making sure the 'disable remote control' option in security & privacy panel and no luck. Can anyone shed some light on what could be the problem????

Hi,
System Preferences > Accounts > Your Account
Select current  Pic and chose to Change it.
You get an option to take a SnapShot.
Quicktime will also be able to access it and record using Quicktime  X in Snow Leopard.
Check the Menu items for New Recording.
MSN for Mac can use it (It depend on version and in some cases whether you are connected to the correct type of Windows server)
Yahoo (This is in Beta 3 and has been for years)
Results can vary.
A Web Browser with the Flash Plug-in active can access the camera on certain Web Sites that run video Chat rooms
See Koowy
(Type anything to Create a Room Name
On the New Page allow access to the camera in the Flash Pop Up - You may need to use the tabs to Select Camera type.
Send Buddy the URL of that page).
