Why cant i pair my apple remote with my iphome 4?

That's just not possible, because the remote only pairs with the iMac, MacBook Pro, Apple TV & Apple Universal Dock ONLY!

    How do I pair my apple remote to my Apple TV?

    Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Fast Forward buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen.

  • HT1551 How do I pair multiple apple remotes with the same apple TV

    I have one apple TV but it is is access on multiple screens via a matrix system. I therefore need an apple remote in each room so I am not having to carry the same one from room to room. Please can someone let me know how this is achieved . . .

    It's almost counter-intuitive the way this works. You have to actually "unpair" the remote that it is paired to - then once no specific Apple TV remote is paired, all remotes (any remote, including standard TV remotes) will work!
    The step-by-step would be:
    Using a remote that is currently paired navigate to General under settings.
    Go to Remotes.
    Select "Unpair Apple Remote"
    Once unpaired, simply back out of all the menus using the menu button to see that it does work. Then try on your other remote(s). It/they will now also work.
    You can even use the Learn Remote feature to use a standard TV remote. I use my Directv remote and it works great.
    The ONLY thing you need pairing for is if you want only one remote to be capable of controlling the ATV. So therefore unpair any remote that's paired, and you'll be golden.

  • How can i pair my apple remote with my iPod touch 4G ?

    The Apple remote uses IR and the iPod does not have IR capibility.  Apple does sell a universal Dock that allow some remote control.

  • HT1619 I cant seem to pair my apple remote with my new macBook Air (2013) 11" 256GB...?

    My MacBookAir is an 11" mid 2013 model. They told me in the apple store when I purchased the MacBook Air it would work but I don't think the 11" has an infrared receiver?
    Anybody tried to do this?

    maybe use my iphone 5?

  • How to pair my white apple remote with my macpro?

    this is the kind of mac I have G87151S7UQ2 (I think?)
    its a tower pro, and I'd like to pair my white apple remote with it
    Thank you!

    The Mac Pro does not have a built-in IR receiver. You can however buy a USB IR receiver and use that in conjunction with your Apple Remote.

  • Im havingtrouble pairing a new apple remote with apple.tv. Any suggestions? Have followed directions so far.

    Im havingtrouble pairing a new apple remote with apple.tv. Any suggestions? Have followed directions so far.

    A classic chicken/egg problem. I see this in the Apple TV manual:
    You can also hold down Menu and Right for 6 seconds to pair Apple TV and the Apple Remote.
    When you successfully pair your Apple Remote, Apple TV displays a chainlink symbol (          ) above a picture of a remote. Apple TV now works only with the paired remote.
    You might have to change your screen name (kidding).

  • 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.

    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

  • Why Cant i pair iphone and ipod via bluetooth

    Why Cant i pair iphone and ipod via bluetooth

    you cant because you couldn't actually do anything with them even if they were paired. Bluetooth on iphones and ipods is really just for accessories. Its annoying though that you cant transfer files and photos ect. but at least we have iCloud.

  • 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:
    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

  • Apple Remote with MS PowerPoint?

    hi
    is it possible to use the Apple Remote that comes with MacBook Pro to change slides in MS PowerPoint?
    i'm using Office 2004.

    If you want to use the Apple Remote with PowerPoint, it IS possible (and free). Download iRed Lite (see the link on www.freemacware.com) and configure it manually to send left and right arrow key signals when using PowerPoint. NOTE: When setting the left and right arrow commands for the remote buttons, you need to tell it to activate PowerPoint. Just type "PowerPoint" in that field. I tried this setup out. It works perfectly for moving back and forth in a slideshow. There's no need to spend any more money

  • Using the  apple remote  with  ipod  mini

    is it possible to use the apple remote with ipod mini dock
    advent 1318   Windows XP   n/a

    Would the apple remote and universal dock allow remote adjustment of the volume level when using and iPod mini? I know the nano and 5g support this feature but am unsure for the mini as my old 3g ipod only gave 'line out' via the dock.
