Macbook air mid2012 can use the Remote Apple Control?

I want to know if a Macbook air mid2012 can work with the Remote Apple control. If so, how should I configure my macbook air to make it work?

No MacBook Airs can work with the Apple remote.  They do not have an IR sensor.
Apple are phasing the remote out.
If you have an iPhone, it can be set up to operate as a remote for your MBA.
There are 3rd party IR remote setups if having a remote is a must (say for training using Keynote).

  • When will Apple come with an update so 2010 Macbook Airs again can use the Appstore?

    the problem appears in Lion and Mountain Lion and came with the last update to the operating system

    well, Apple fixed the problem and if so, thank you.
    I have a late 2010 Macbook Air, and I did the following:y
    formatted the SSD disk and installed Snow Leopard again from the usb-stick and made the updates
    Then I made a partition called Lion and downloaded Lion from App Store in Snow Leopard and installed it on the partition called Lion. The version of Safari with it was 5.1.6 and App Store worked. Then I made a copy of Safari to the desktop, updated Lion (except Safari). Then I transferred settings etc with Transfer assistant from my Mac mini to my Macbook Air in Lion. Safari 5.1.6 was not working, but App Store worked and Firefox did.
    Then I downloaded Mountain Lion once more from App Store and installed it over Lion.
    And ... hooray.... Safari is version 6 and App Store is working

  • Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
    Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.

  • When I try to burn a CD off of my MacBook Air (from iTunes) using the external CD drive, it acts like it is burning the CD, but then when I try to play it the CD is blank.

    When I try to burn a CD off of my MacBook Air (from iTunes) using the external CD drive, it acts like it is burning the CD, but then when I try to play it the CD is blank.

    Many thanks for the diagnostics.
    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver.  This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

  • I can use the Remote app to access my Itunes but cannot make it work with appletv

    I can currently use remote app on my Ipad2 to access my windows desktop itunes library.  I cannot use the remote to access appleTV.  I am setting something up wrong?  Home sharing is turned on, apple tv can access the internet no problem.  The remote app just connects to my itunes library and that's it
    thanks for any help.

    The remote app requires home sharing to be enabled on Apple TV and both to be on the same network. If those aren't in place you will need to purchase a new remote.

  • I'm getting the iPhone5S and I know you can use the same Apple ID but I have to delete my details off my current phone, how can I keep my account so I can use it again on my new phone?

    When I sold my iPod I had to delete my apple account but I want to use this apple account on my soon to be new phone the iphone5S, I know you can use the same address but if I delete the account on my phone will I still be able to get it back on my new phone? And what about purchases and iBookstore? If I've purchased items will I be able to get them on my new device?

    Yes, you only have to make an icloud backup on your old phone and restore from that backup on your new phone. If everything goes well, you can safely restore your old phone.

  • ITunes opens up automatically when I use the remote to control VLC!!!

    I have often used VLC with 10.5 to watch videos on my iMac and always used the remote to pause, play, and adjust the volume. However, since upgrading to 10.6 today, now every time I use the media keys (either the remote, or even hitting the space bar on the keyboard to pause/play the VLC player), iTunes automatically opens up (it was not running before) and starts playing! VERY annoying when trying to watch a movie. Does anyone know any setting I can do such that iTunes will only be controlled by the remote when it is open?

    There are several other discussions covering the same subject. Check out http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2122639&start=30&tstart=0 and you'll find the same solution as I found.

  • I have a wired keyboard which won't work with my MacBook Air unless I use the extension cable supplied with the apple keyboard. Is this normal or have I got a connection problem?

    I Have an apple wired keyboard which suddenly won't work unless I use the apple ext cable supplied with the keyboard...used with the wire fixed into the keyboard it just won't respond.  Do u think the keyboard is faulty. ? I want to use it with my MacBook Air and a big screen.

    My best guess is that either there's a small deformation of the USB plug of your keyboard or some foreign matter (like lint) inside the keyboard plug. When I was setting up my new lab last year I had to use the extension cables and I found that the female end of the extension cable was considerably tighter than the computer's USB port. If an Apple store is nearby it would be worth taking the computer, keyboard, and extension just for piece of mind.

  • Does the Macbook Air 11 inch use the same charger as the 13 inch?

    I'm looking to buy a in-car charger for my macbook air 11 inch and am wondering if it will also work with my sister's macbook air 13 inch.

    Not sure about in-car stuff but generally you can use it for both.

  • How many different users can use the same Apple ID to use apps?

    In a corporate environment, if we have multiple users each with their own iPad. What is the terms and conditions for using apps across all those devices? Is it legal to download an app to the corporate Apple ID and use them across our multiple devices? Is this officially documented somewhere? Is there something for multi-license of apps?

    Hi..
    Try posting in the iPad in the Enterprise forum.

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.
