  • Original iMac G5 now running Leopard - How to add Apple Remote?

    I'd like to use my iMac G5 to run Front Row and play music and movies through my HDTV. I'm already connected to the TV, so that's not an issue.
    How do I add an Apple Remote to this, for use with Front Row? I know I can use the wireless keyboard to control it, but the WAF (wife acceptance factor) for that solution is low. All the new Macs have built in IR, but not this first gen model, so I'm not sure how to do this. (I think I could add a third party remote like the KeySpan, but I'd rather use the Apple Remote if possible.)
    (I did see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7384584 , but it doesn't exactly address my wish for the Apple Remote)
    While we're on the topic, my HDTV is being used as a second monitor. Works well for displaying videos and such in iTunes and from various other sources. How does this work with FrontRow, though? (The displays are NOT mirrored.) Does it show on both screens, or is there a way to force it to show on one display or the other?

    How does this work with FrontRow, though?
    Front Row will only display on the "main" monitor. That is, the monitor that's showing the Dock and menubar. You will probably need to use the Displays System Preferences to change the main display to the HDTV.

  • How to configure apple remote desktop to work on 3g instead of wifi

    Hello,
    Can ARD be used with 3g to access my iMac from my macbook?
    If it can be done, could someone please help with info on how to do this or set it up?
    Thanks a lot..

    when you use ARD at home can it wake the iMac from sleep?
    What do you have the DLINK DIR-615 plugged into? (dsl modem, cable modem, extra)
    So there are a couple ways to connect to a computer behind a router such as the dlink. One option is you configure the iMac to be the DMZ. The nice thing about this is you don't have to configure any ports. the bad thing about this, is any service your hosting on the mac is internet excess-able. the 2nd option is to configure specific ports on your router to be sent to the iMac. This give you more control over what services are access-able on the iMac over the internet; but it's also more work to setup.
    Here is the manual for DLINK DIR-615,
    page 32 explains how to setup a DMZ.
    pages 27 and 28 explains how to setup "port forwarding."
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products. if you chose the port forwarding, you'll probable need to use this document to figure out what ports you need to open. Here are some of the ports you would probable need to open. there would probable be other ports as well.
    3031
    TCP/UDP
    Remote AppleEvents
    eppc
    Program Linking, Remote Apple Events
    3283
    TCP/UDP
    Net Assistant
    net-assistant
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.0 or later (Reporting feature)
    5900
    TCP
    Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
    (Unregistered Use)
    vnc-server
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.0 or later (Observe/Control feature)
    Screen Sharing (Mac OS X 10.5 or later)
    5988
    TCP
    WBEM HTTP
    wbem-http
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.x (see http://www.dmtf.org/about/faq/wbem)
    I'm not sure if the time capsule will be able to wake the computer over the internet; because it's not the router. the DLINK is.
    Keep in mind, that even if you do configure your mac to be reach-able over the internet. Most internet connections change IP address. That's call DHCP. in short it's like trying to reach some one who hangs around different pay phones, but doesn't have a cell phone. In short, you can't really reliably get ahold of such a person.
    If you call your internet provider they can tell you if your internet connection is static or DHCP.
    If it is, there are things you can setup to bridge the gap between static and DHCP. That's called dynamic DNS, But ones you look at the cost of such a service; your probable going to find logmein cheaper, and an easier to configure solution. Because you don't have to mess around with your router, or configure port forwarding, or mess around with dynamic DNS.
    You might even find out to run dynamic DNS your going to have to have your iMac always turn on any way. It's not that hard to configure your imac to be on, but have the screen off.
    good luck

  • How to connect apple tv with iMac

    How do I connect the my iMac to Apple TV? 
    Apple TV is set up, I am able to use  airplay via iPhone and iPad but having difficulty connecting iMac to Apple TV

    The iMac must be connected to the same network as the ATV.
    Keep in mind some routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the network.

  • What about the apple remote on iMac 2012?

  • How to setup Apple remote on my Mac Pro

    Hi I just received my Apple Remote to use with my Mac Pro. How do I get it to work? Do I have to pair the remote with the Mac Pro? Are there specific programs that will only work with the Apple Remote? I tried Itunes and nothing happened, Pressing button's doesn't seem to do anything. Any help is greatly appreciated

    No, the mac pro is the only mac that doesn't currently support the apple remote as is. If you have a ipod touch or iphone, you can use the "remote" app from apple to use your touch or iphone as a remote over wifi. I've tried it before, it works great~ Only tried in itunes though, not sure if front row works.

  • HT1551 How do I pair multiple apple remotes with the same apple TV

    I have one apple TV but it is is access on multiple screens via a matrix system. I therefore need an apple remote in each room so I am not having to carry the same one from room to room. Please can someone let me know how this is achieved . . .

    It's almost counter-intuitive the way this works. You have to actually "unpair" the remote that it is paired to - then once no specific Apple TV remote is paired, all remotes (any remote, including standard TV remotes) will work!
    The step-by-step would be:
    Using a remote that is currently paired navigate to General under settings.
    Go to Remotes.
    Select "Unpair Apple Remote"
    Once unpaired, simply back out of all the menus using the menu button to see that it does work. Then try on your other remote(s). It/they will now also work.
    You can even use the Learn Remote feature to use a standard TV remote. I use my Directv remote and it works great.
    The ONLY thing you need pairing for is if you want only one remote to be capable of controlling the ATV. So therefore unpair any remote that's paired, and you'll be golden.

  • Apple Remote and play/pause with streaming Netflix on iMac w/o Apple TV?

    When watching movies via Netflix streaming on my iMac, not on a TV using Apple TV, is there any way to use the Apple Remote my iMac came with to control the Play/Pause function on the Netflix site? I'm guessing not, but I figured I'd try asking...
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    That's what I figured, I was just wondering if there was a way of changing what the remote does with Netflix, or possibly if there might be another device that could do it?
    In the meantime, I'll just keep walking over to my computer to pause a movie. I remember the days of TVs without remotes, so it's not that big a deal, I guess.

    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.

  • Apple Remote Desktop to wake up a Mac

    Hello,
    Do you know how to use Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) to wake up a Mac which is not on my local network?
    Imagine I am in the USA and I need to wake up my Mac in France to see my files, play some music... Is it possible? ARD can do it?
    Or should I prefer another program like WakeOnLan by ReadPixel, or the Depicus page...?
    Do I need an IP address, a MAC address and to configure my router to accept the correct "wake" packet?
    I know the Mac needs to be connected with Ethernet, and "Wake for network access" has to be checked in the Energy Saver panel.
    In case it works, can I shutdown my Mac with ARD too?
    Maybe you would suggest to use ARD to wake up the Mac then use FTP to see my files, read some music...
    The thing would be to use the Mac as a server I could connect with from anywhere in the world to see my files, play music and more...then shutdown it when I finished. Am I dreaming?
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for your information.
    I found another topic here : Wake-On-Lan support?
    The member el_migu_el wrote something interesting I think.
    Basically, it seems Apple Remote Desktop is designed for local network only. When we need to wake up a Mac through the Internet, ARD shows its limits and we have to find another tip to make this thing possible.
    Maybe I am wrong but it seems easier to wake up a PC (with Linux OS) through the Internet than a Mac.
    I was thinking to another solution :
    Would it be possible to configure the Mac with the Energy Saver panel to make it wake up on a specific day at a specific hour (then shut down it in the same way), and use a FTP connection to access our shared datas? It would mean applies like Pure FTPd Manager should run after the Mac woke up, and it would be necessary to configure a static IP address with the DynDNS service for example to avoid any IP changes to still get the conection with the Mac.
    And obviously we would use some applications like Cyberduck or FileZilla to access our shared datas. The problem is that we couldn't use our Mac as a server, I mean use it to launch some music for example from anywhere in the world.
    I had a friend who had used is old PC (with a Linux OS) as a server to share some music we could hear on our computer. With an address he gave we could see the music he shared. It was cool. The thing was his PC had to be switched on all the time. But I am sure we could have woke up his computer from anywhere to get access to his music if he had configured his PC in that way.

  • RANGE OF APPLE REMOTE

    Just purchased an off brand universal dock for my iPod classic to use at the school I teach at...the remote is good from about 25 feet in...curious as to how far the Apple Remote works...might go ahead and get the actual Apple brand dock to use....thanks for any help

    Keyspan has created a "radio frequency" remote to use with Front Row so you don't need the line-of-sight required by Apple's "infrared remote".
