Turn off apple tv remote on my mac?

I have an apple tv March 2012 and June 2012 macbook pro how do you turn off the apple remote support on the macbook pro? Everytime I use the remote and the apple tv and my mac is on the remote keeps going into my itunes on my mac.

I don't have two remotes, so can't fully confirm if it works properly or not, but there is a "pair" function. As can be seen in the image, it says "Unpair" under the option "Disable remote control IR receiver". This is because Ferd II must have one paired.
However, it normally says "Pair...". If you click that, it will tell you how to pair the remote. You can then pair which remote you want to your iMac.
The issue is, until you do that, it states under the option for disabling the IP receiver "This computer will work with any available remote.". Of course this isn't always ideal.
Then, on your Apple TV > Settings > General > Remotes, you can pair the remaining remotes.
To answer your question simply, it seems like yes, you can distinguish between remotes.
Like I said, can't say how well it works as I haven't got two remotes so haven't distinguished between them as such. But don't see why it shouldn't work like a charm!
Although I wouldn't have known about this if it wasn't for the genuis of Ferd II!! THANKS SO MUCH FERD II!
This has been driving me crazy ever since I got my Apple TV and searching came up fruitless until now!
(P.S. Awesome name PokémonFan! YAY FOR POKÉMON! )

  • Third party remote won't turn off Apple TV

    Hello,
    I've set up a third party remote (Yamaha HTR-5740) and everything works great except I can't turn off Apple TV with the third party remote. I have to use the Apple TV remote. I can turn it on with the third party remote by pushing play, but not off. I can hold down play, pause, and stop, and nothing. Even tried holding down play and pause together. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

    never mind.

  • How can I turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake?

    I am using teamviewer to remote connect to my office Imac from home. However, every time I connected, my imac screen will turn on and everyone else in the office can see what my imac is doing..
    Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?
    PS: I am using OSX 10.7.3

    Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

    I have an LG TV - I am still trying to work thru all this but on mine, I select TV on the TV remote and it takes me back to cable. Then when I want to return to Apple TV, I select INPUT on the remote and then HDMI. Took me right back to Apple TV.
    (But I had already configured the TV for an external HDMI device during set up.)

  • I can't turn off Apple's "News" Rule

    Can anyone help me turn off Apple's Rule for setting the background color to blue for News from Apple. According to Help, deselecting the checkbox in Mail > Prefs > Rules should turn it off but it doesn't.
    Unrelated but it would be helpful to me to know: in Entourage, I am used to having an option for deleting a message from the server, but keeping the message locally. Does Mail have this option anywhere?
    Thanks

    I used the greyscal slider and changed the two Apple News messages to white. The question is, what happens when new Apple News messages come in since the Rule is still in effect. I'm not handy with Rules but couldn't I create a Rule to turn any Apple News message to this color white? Seems ridiculous but in lieu of the fact that I can't turn it off...
    By now I've blown my cover as a grumpy curmudgeon so I won't hold back. Another reason I still use Entourage as my default email reader is I can't get Mail to not automatically retrieve my message as soon as I open it. I have it set Prefs>General>Check For New Mail: Manually. Yet every time I open Mail, it hurries up like an overanxious dog an gets all new mail. This screws me up because I already know I have junk mail and now have to delete it a second time. It's like Mail just does not respond to the commands I give it. (I know, I know, whining and grumbling) But seriously, how to turn off automatic News, and automatic checking for new mail?
    Thanks

    Well, if you're running linux you could use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() to execute 'halt -p', if the process was being run as root. Not terribly elegant but I suppose it would work. Although I wouldn't want an unattended process running as root.Yes, this is how you can do it, but on Windows machines as well. I'll go into pseudocode:
    App1: Server (running on every lab machine)
    open server socket on port X
    wait for connection
    verify connection is yourself so that not everyone can shut it down
    if not, wait for connection again
    if it is, run halt for linux or shutdown for windowsApp2: Client (running on just your computer)
    open a socket to each machine running the server app (or you could use multicasting)
    validate yourself however you did that
    close socketThere are some implications of this though - unless your validation mechanism is decent, pretty much anyone can shut down anything they want. Also, if you don't check for a logged-in user, you may destroy someone's work. Just keep those in mind.
    Also, if it is a Windows setting, there are usually better ways to do this - a well-managed windows network has built-in functionality to shut down computers remotely.

  • This is so basic: How do you turn off Apple TV, or do you just exit by changing the Input back to regular TV? When I put Apple TV to sleep, I had to log in again, a very tedious process with that awful "announcer" for the hearing impaired (how to remove?)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will put itself to sleep. I'm not sure what you needed to log into again, but you shouldn't have to. Do you have a little more detail about what happens.

    how do you turn off Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It will go to sleep itself after the period of time you set in the settings. It uses very little power in this mode but if you want it off altogether you'll need to unplug it. It isn't exactly designed to be turned off completely.

  • Turn off apple remote control from my macbook pro

    How can I turn off my remote control from remoting both apple tv and myc macbook pro at same time. I just want to remote my apple tv.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you want, you can disable the IR port in order to be able to stop control your computer with the Apple Remote. To do it, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Advanced, and mark "Disable remote control infrared receiver"

  • Turn Off Distiller Prompting for Filename on MAC like you already can on windows.

    I've posted about this before, but with no useful reaction. There is a documented feature in the Windows Distiller, that would be just as useful on mac, but doesn't exist there. In the Adobe documentation, it's called "Turn Off Prompting for Filename".
    In short, I'd like a way to stop the MAC distiller from showing dialogs that are not needed when controlling it externally, when the options 'ask for pdf file destination' and 'view pdf when using distiller' are turned on by the user, like this is already possible in windows.
    Below is a copy of my original post, with more details.
    Distiller brings up dialog while running from applescript
    Arnt Witteveen - 06:08am Dec 19, 2005 Pacific
    Hi,
    I've read DistillerAPIReference.pdf (and DistillerParameters.pdf) from the developer documentation, and I have not found a way to do what I need: 'override' the distiller setting to ask for the destination filename and to open the pdf in acrobat when it's done. On windows, this does not seem to be a problem, it's documented under "Distiller API for Windows", in the paragraph "How to Turn Off Prompting for Filename". Even better, when sending the command line "/V /O outfile.pdf /J joboptionsfile inputfile" using DM_CMDLINE and WM_COPYDATA, it doesn't seem to bring up the dialog or open it, which is just what I need (even though I see no reason why it doesn't).
    On Mac however, there is no such thing (in fact, the documentation for controlling distiller in this way on mac is very short: 5 mostly empty pages, explaning only that you can start and stop it and pass it a file to distill).
    So, how do I stop the mac distiller from showing dialogs that are not needed when controlling it externally, when the options 'ask for pdf file destination' and 'view pdf when using distiller' are turned on by the user?

    sorry, but the 2880x1800 is hardware; in fact what makes non-optimized sites look (relativly) ugly is that to upscale the graphics to the apparent resolution of everything else each pixel is represented by 4 pixels, and as you know being in graphics, upscaling pictures is generally results in ugly. 
    Back to my point, there's no software to make the display lose 75% of its pixels; you'll either have to use another machine and/or wait for sites to optomize their graphics for the retina displays...which may or may never happen depending on the sites awareness/closeness with Apple's technology
