Using an Apple remote controller to advance photos on a memory stick ?

I wonder if this can be done. I haven't bought the remote yet. I'm giving a speech at my daughter's wedding in Australia and want to show a few photos which I've saved to a stick. The plan is to take the stick out there (from the UK) and use a Macbook at the venue. Will the remote advance the photos and moreover, in the sequence they're saved on the stick ?

I don't know of any other apps, but front row will only work with iPhoto.
It would be an easy matter to import them into iPhoto, create a folder and use FrontRow to step through the folder.
PS:
Here are some other ways to use the remote that may or not be useful. (You can create a Keynote presentation!)

  • I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

    Hi all,
    I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
    I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
    Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
    Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
    I've tried both methods, and neither work!
    Here's what happens for each method:
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
    After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
    I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
    I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
    I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

    Check the Menu items for New Recording.
    MSN for Mac can use it (It depend on version and in some cases whether you are connected to the correct type of Windows server)
    Yahoo (This is in Beta 3 and has been for years)
    Results can vary.

  • Can you use the apple remote to control tv programs?

    Can you use the apple remote control like a tv remote to control tv programs & DVDs on the computer? Everything I've found about the Apple Remote talks about using it for products other than desktops. I watch some regular tv shows on my iMac & would like to be able to use a remote control.
    I have a built-in infrared receiver.
    Thanks!

    You should be able to control DVD playback now with the Apple Remote. You may be able to get a bit of functionality with web sites by using Remote Buddy by using it as a virtual mouse and keyboard:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21872/remote-buddy
    but you're not going to get anything close to the sort of functionality you'd get with a remote and a TV.
    Regards.

  • I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot.  I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..

    I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot.  I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..

    Thanks Eric for responding.
    I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
    I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death). 
    One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
    I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
    The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
    Thanks again.

  • Can I use the Apple Remote with 5th Gen purchased early 2007? IR available?

    Have 5th Gen ipod and doesn't react to Apple remote control. Does ipod have infrared capability? Remote states will work on ipods made after 2005. Ipod is in docking station.

    Which docking station are you using?
    To be used with the Apple Remote, it needs to be one of the two Universal Dock models with a black IR port in the front.
    Cheers!

  • Using the Apple Remote with Windows Media Center

    Hello guys
    First of all, I am Swiss, so excuse me for my bad English (grammar and stuff...)
    So, my problem: I bought the Apple Remote and I think it is very awsome! But since Apple has removed Front Row in Lion, I don't really can use it anymore. So I'd tried to use it with Windows 7 Media Center. But it doesn't work correctly. Does anyone know, how to fix that?
    Thank you

    I had a Green Button remote provided with HP PC XP, Vista for Windows Media Center prior to getting Mac Pro.
    Now in Lion, I have Hauppauge WinTV HVR-980 USB adapter (less than $100) including a remote that works in Lion for the Hauppauge TV app.
    In Windows, the same remote works with all "Media Center" processes Music, Pictures, TV... instead of mouse/keyboard. If your TV service requires set top box, then you have to use its remote to change channels.
    If ISP's internet Co-Ax also carries TV signal, you can get Cable Splitter (smple picture):
    http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-Way-TV-RF-Coaxial-Cable-Splitter-CATV-Signal-/320868649 227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab543090b  
    and feed 1 co-ax to USB TV adapter, the other to your Modem/Router.
    The Hauppage USB was a good choice because it serves Mac & Windows.
    Also, In Windows, if you have an XBox, it can be used as "Extender" for your A/V output.
