Using Apple remote with MacBook PRo

How can I manage a PowerPoint presentation on my MacBook Pro using the Apple remote control that came with it?

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

Can i use iWeb on my Macbook pro Retina?

Hi guys
Is it possible to download iWeb, and use it on my Macbook pro Retina from 2013?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course, but note that iWeb will look blurry on your display because it's not ready for the Retina display. To install iWeb, you have to buy iLife '09 or '11 in Amazon or eBay, and then, install iWeb performing a custom install. As iLife comes in a DVD, you have to buy an external optical drive or, if you have another Mac or PC, you can use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287

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

Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

Hi ,
I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
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:

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

How to use apple remote with macbook air

How to set-up apple remote to macbook air

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

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 .

Using Photoshop CC on Macbook Pro retina

Hi, I am a web designer and I am trying to find a way forward in using Photoshop CC on my Macbook Pro (late 2013). I have found posts that say you can open photoshop CS6 in "Low Resolution" however I cannot find the same option in Photoshop CC. Zooming my design comps by 200% surely is not the answer.
Thanks for any advice anyone can give.
- Michael

Exactly! Thank you dxjoel.
I'm having the same problem... I've been combing the web for a solution and nothing in site. I'm on MacBookPro Retina 15" running CS6 13.0.6.
Why can't Adobe PS render at same size as every other program? As a designer, 'lo-res mode' is not an option.
I'm attaching a screenshot of he SAME 480x480 IMAGE in photoshop, chrome and safari.
Can you imagine, as a web designer, how it's hard to work like this? There is no longer the 1:1 ratio that I get from CS6 on my iMac or PC.
Here's a screenshot of the SAME IMAGE on CS6 (at 200%) and Chrome (at 100%)... Pretty close!, but upon close examination, there's pixelation in CS6 side that's not there in the actual image. So, not comfortable with that workflow. I have relied on Photoshop as a pixel-perfect product for ~20yrs... now I can't use it on this machine.
I mean, even when I go to Help > Update ... the PS program's dialogue text is pixelated! Something is very 'off' here. Is this issue fixed in the CC version?
Need some answers, or it's time to look for new options.
Thanks!

Using apple remote with macbook and hulu or netflix

Can an apple remote be used to run netflix of hulu desktop when my Macbook is connected to my LCD tv?

You might want to inquire in the MacBook hardware forum:

Using Apple Remote with MacBook Air

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.

Using FCP 7 with Macbook Pro Retina Display?

Hi there
I am one of the many editor that won't be moving to FCPX and sticking with FCP 7 for the time being.
My question is has anyone used FCP 7 with the new Retina Macbook Pros ?
I'm basically looking to see it FCP 7 is useable on the retina display to help me to decide to buy one or not....My current Macbook Pro is nearly 4 years old and crying for an update but there a few concerns with the new model
1. Screen resolution is actually lower running FCP 7 and other software that isn't optimised for retina display?
2. No Firewire ports
3. No audio input
Any help really appreciated

FCP 7 is no longer in apples update lists so there is a chance that it has issues with the newer hardware (thunderbolt). I would guess there must be a firewire 800 PCIe card that could be used via a thunderbolt doc but how fcp is going to behave with it remains to be seen. Also FCP should not be able to take advantage of the retina display for the reason above.
Of course someone with such a macbook pro and fcp could always jump in this thread and clarify matters for all.
Good luck

Using magic trackpad affect macbook pro retina's battery life?

Hi, I just got new macbook pro 15 with retina. I was not sure how much it affects on macbook's battery while using the Magic Trackpad or Magic mouse. If it affects indeed then how much...thanks...

You are using Bluetooth if you have got a Magic Trackpad, so it affects the battery. However, it's not a big difference respecting to using the built-in trackpad or a USB mouse, so I wouldn't worry

Using lower resolutions on MacBook Pro Retina a good Idea?

Ever since I got my MBP retina I have been having eye strain issues to the point of basically almost returning the unit. I recently discovered that by using the lower resolutions (1280x800) (1024x640) I am having a much easier time and my eyes relax quite a bit more. My questions is does this have any negative effect on performance? I understand I sacrifice space but I just struggle with the native (1440x900). Or perhaps a none retina display would be the option. I just sold my mid 2009 macbook pro and now regret it.

No the performance would, if anything, improve if you use a lower resolution. Although I can't seem to understand how the retina MBP would give you more eyestrain at 1440x900 than your old 2009 MBP at the same resolution? If the problem is the pixel density then it wouldn't matter if you run the screen at native 1440x900 or 1280x800. You would still have the same amount of pixels running (2880x1800).
Well my answer to your question is; no the performance will not be affected.

What controller do I use with my 15" Macbook Pro Retina to play games like the Lego Star Wars series?

I have a bright and shining new 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display. I did not upgrade the processor or the storage. I want to play games on this great computer, too, games that need a controller . . ie . . The Lego Star Wars series and other action games that require a controller like I use on my X Box 360.
What works? What works best?

It would help to post this in a more proper form. This is for the iTunes family of stores.
