    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.

    You can't unless you have a 2009 or earlier MBair. From 2010 on,  they don't have an IR receiver.

    Does the new MacBook Air support the Apple Remote?

    Alternatively if you have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad you can look at remote apps such as Keymote, Rowmote Pro, etc.  (I'm a big fan of the latter).  These will allow you to do much more than just control Keynote. 

  • Remote with macbook air

    can apple remote using with macbook air?

    No you cannot use it as the new Air does not have an IR port.
    So we have a great notebook, very slim and light - perfect for presentations. It just does not support the remote anymore - what a stupid decision!!!
    You might recommend to buy a third party product which works with bluetooth. When doing so, you forget the following:
    The original Apple Remote has a GREAT feature. You can pause a movie or flash animation which is placed into a slide at any time by pushing the PAUSE button. This is extremely helpful to explain something which is happening in your animation. This feature is gone now and this is a shame.
    Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
    Thank you!!!

  • Can't pair Apple Remote and MacBook Pro + Answer

    I had an issue pairing my Apple Remote with my MacBook Pro.
    The Apple manual says (on page 36):
    To pair your Apple Remote with your MacBook Pro:
    1 Position the Apple Remote 3 to 4 inches from the IR receiver on your MacBook Pro.
    2 Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons on the Apple Remote for 5 seconds.
    After trying and failing several times to pair my remote using these instructions I gave up. While it could be a bit annoying not to have the remote paired it was not a significant enough issue to prompt me to send the notebook in for repair.
    After a few days I decided that there must be a software conflict causing this problem since the remote works fine otherwise.
    I scoured the net for a solution and found nothing. It seemed I was the only one with this problem.
    Based on the premise that you should push all of the buttons and see what happens I tried several other button combinations on the remote. To my surprise holding the Menu + Play/Pause buttons together for five seconds paired the remote with my MacBook Pro.
    I have unpaired and then re-paired the remote several times with this alternate button combination and it works every time.

    My MacBook Pro didn't seem to work with the Apple Remote either, but it turned out that I needed to logout and back in before the system preferences recognised the pairing. This might be something to try if there doesn't seem to be any response from the computer .

    Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
    examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
    (1) waking the macbook with apple remote
    (2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
    (3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
    (4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
    while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
    please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
    I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .
    Thanks

    Hi suresh,
    as mentioned here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
    and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
    you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
    usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
    Good Luck

  • Pair the remote with Macbook

    I can't pair the remote with my Macbook (which was purchased 3 days ago) and its driving me CRAZY!
    HELP

    My guess is that unfortunately he wasn't aware that the IR receiver had been eliminated. Either that or he assumed that you knew and you were purchasing it for a different Mac. Regardless, they should take it back for a refund. If they won't refund it in full since it's open, you may want to speak to a manager to explain the misunderstanding. Stay calm and don't get too hot about the issue or they may refuse the refund.

    Remotes don't sync. They pair with your BlueTooth.

    Are you still using Tiger 10.4?  Also what version of PowerPoint?  Only '08 and '11 work with the Apple Remote.

  • Apple tv won't pair with macbook air

    Apple TV 2 - trying to get it to pair with macbook air using bluetooth: The Apple TV continues to search with the spinning thing; the macbook air shows that it sees the apple tv, displays the 6 digit code that apple tv should then also display, but  the apple tv just continues to search.  After a few minutes, the macbook air returns a pairing failed statement.  I've tried several times.  I have rebooted both.  Macbook air is now running OS X 10.10 Yosemite.  Apple TV is showing version 7.0 (6897.5). Oh, I'm sitting 6 ft from the apple tv, but I moved to within 24 in and still same failure.  Any help would be welcome.  Thanks

    As follow up, and for what it may be worth(likely not much), I talked to a staffer at an Apple Store the other day about this.  He said this capability is meant for, and can only be used with a dedicated bluetooth keyboard.  I tried this when I returned home, as my desktop iMac uses a bluetooth KB.  I "unconnected" the KB from the iMac, then took it to the other room in an attempt to establish the bluetooth connection to the ATV.  Still no success.  And as I was attempting this, I realized that, with using the KB only, that is, no "attached screen" as with the Macbook air, I could not see how I could make a connection, because when I had previously tried to connect my Macbook Air, the Air screen was showing that it was attempting to pair with the ATV, and it displayed a 6 digit code that then was supposed to also be displayed on the TV screen attached to the ATV. If I continued to attempt to pair the dedicated KB only, how would this dedicated KB "with no screen" display a 6 digit code?  So the mystery continues.

  • Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.
