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:

    Does anyone know how to use an Apple Keyboard A1359 with a MacBook Air?

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the macbook forum since you're more likely to get answers there than in the iPad one.

  • How do i use the apple tv remote app to navigate the apple tv?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been given an apple tv remote from my step father. I couldn't honestly tell you which model I'm afraid. He's lost the remote.
    I've managed to get the apple tv turned on using a youtube that explaned how to set up with an ethernet cable. I can even airplay stuff from my itunes. However I want to pair my existing remote and I can't work out for the life of me how I use the apple tv remote app to navigate whilst on the apple tv main menu.
    There's just no option to do this, despite the youtube vid seemingly doing it. Has a previous update of the app rendered this featured obselete?
    Some clarity or help on how I can navigate the apple tv using either my iphone or macbook would be great. That way I can pair my existing tv remote for future use.
    Thanks everyone in advance!

    The remote is required for configuring the ATV and setting up the remote app on iDevices.

  • TS2972 How can I stop iTunes on my computer to start whenever I use the Apple TV remote to select a new program?

    Whenever I use the Apple TV remote to choose a new program, iTunes starts on my computer and starts playing from the playlist. How do I prevent that from happening?

    Your computer is picking up the remote's signal. Go into system preferences - security - general. Click on the padlock and go into advanced. Check disable remote control infrared receiver.

  • Will an Infra-Red Adapter work with a macbook pro retina display so I can use the apple TV remote for presentations?

    I have always used the apple TV remote for my presentations.  I bought a retina display last year for the betterment of my presentations and now I have to stand near my computer and hit a button to change my slides where as before I used my remote.  Will a infra-red adapter work with the apple TV remote in the macbook pro retina display?  Love my computer, but very disappointed not to have a remote for presentations that does not need the internet.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Yes, I used that and it works great if you have wireless connection.  Im looking for  a remote that worked like the apple TV remote.  My questions is, "Is there a USB infra-red remote that works with mac.  I have found this one: Keyspan EZ1 easy presenter.  It claims with works with PC and Mac and the reviews are good.  Does anyone know anything about it or if it works with retina display macs?

  • How to use multiple Apple IDS

    I just bought my first iPhone and another one for my wife.  I'm trying to figure out how to configure Apple IDs to get the most out of our phones.  I'm interested in having us both share contacts and calendars, as well as use the same account for iTunes and the app store.  But we'd like to be able to FaceTime each other.  Is it possible to have one Apple ID for contacts, calendars, iTunes and apps, while use a different one for FaceTime?
    In addition, my wife and I run a small business together, and it makes sense to me to use a separate Apple ID for this so that we can keep business contacts and schedules separate.. allowing us to use this same business ID for other office/managerial employees in the near future.  There are also another set of apps for the business... for example, we use Google Voice in our business.  Can we use another Apple ID for another set of contacts and calendar appointments?

    YOu can share apple id for apps and music.
    However you should get a separate id for imessage/facetime/icloud.

  • How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

    Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
    The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
    Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

    Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is
