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.

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

  • 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

    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

    can any one please tell me how to pair apple remote control with macbook Air ????

    now, I had the same issue
    solved it by transforming my phone (Nokia 2700 c ) into a bluetooth remote
    see this pages:

    http://torrentsmd.com/forum.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=87892828&page=p11032817 #11032817
    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.

  • 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!!!

  • How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?

    Hi All,
    I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    All great except for my Apple Remote control.
    Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
    Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
    So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
    Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
    Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
    So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
    To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
    Any advice will help!
    Thanks in advance/all the best.
    Marco

    Thanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
    I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
    But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
    I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.
    At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
    they do promote the following:
    Apple Remote with Mac
    The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
    Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
    Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
    Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
    So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
    Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
    Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
    Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
    Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
    Cheers

    That's a pity. Is there anyway that I can download a generic remote control driver? Thanks for the reply.

  • Using apple remote with ipod touch 4th gen

    You also need Apple's Universal Dock. The description of the remote says:
    Note: The Apple Remote requires the iPod Universal Dock and any iPod with a dock connector or any iPhone.,Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver.
