Is there a way to make this work with the Mac Pro? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.56.64.138 ( talk) 20:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
The Mac Pro doesn't have the needed infrared receiver. Using the software Remote Buddy ([Website http://www.iospirit.com/products/remotebuddy/]), you can however add a USB IR receiver and then control your Mac Pro with an Apple Remote.
Is the first generation remote compatible with newer Macs that came after the second generation remote was released?

Should we add that the remote works with the Hulu Desktop application for the Mac? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redconfetti ( talk • contribs) 07:40, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Is there any information about how the Apple Remote sends out its signals (on the IR level)? I own a Universal Remote Control (TCM 246912) which has a learning function, but it only can save one, if lucky maybe two buttons, then the internal storage of 150 commands is already full. I suppose the Apple Remote sends out a large stack of data (the command itself PLUS some sort of identification which must be necessary for the pairing function), more then standard IR remote controls do. PutzfetzenORG ( talk) 18:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Is it just me or does the author say something like "originally deisgned for front row on the imac" in 2006, but then goes on to say it was around in 2005 for ipod docks. The fact is that the remote first appeared for ipod docks and was later used by the imac and front row anyway, so this should be changed. 87.112.52.92 10:10, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Why bring back IR instead of using Bluetooth? (71.246.25.169)
The line about remote volume only working on iPod nano and 5G iPods with video was inaccurate. It definitely works with 4G (monochrome) iPods as well, and possibly others. It is worth noting that the onscreen volume bar changes on the 5G iPod, but not the 4G iPod. The actual output volume however, changes on both.
To my knowledge, out of the later models, it is the Ipod Photo series which have the most problems with the Apple Remote. Volume control is not compatible with such models. Dave Dubya 23:37, 04 February 2006 GMT
Something tells me that should read more like "The computer can also be paired to only work with a certain remote.", based on the last sentence and common sense. If the remote were paired to only one device, there would have to be two-way communication so it knows what device it's talking to, and that's normally not the case with IR remotes. Can someone clarify this? Andy Janata 03:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I think the bold format text "note" and subsequent text can be rewritten. Why do we need to mention the word "Note" anyways? Kushal t 23:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
In accordance with Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided, I'm deleting the section "Third-Party Software". It's redundant, and mainly serves to sell or promate commercial products. –- kungming·2 | (Talk· Contact) 16:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't own an iMac, so I can't check -- but I have read that the Apple Remote can be attached (magnetic) to an iMac, so You don't lose it on your desk. Could anybody using an iMac verify this and add it to the article? 84.57.70.208 16:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
the article reads as, first, there is a magnetic pad beneath the superdrive on aluminium models (that's mid 2007) and then as there is no such pad. I have a mid 2007 aluminum iMac and the remote won't stick beneath the drive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rakunus ( talk • contribs) 21:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
if it works with vlc media player in mac os, couldn't it be made to work with vlc media player in windows xp sp2 ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.252.134.139 ( talk) 17:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC).
"There is no Apple Remote support on the Mac Pro." ..... "As of February 2008, the MacBook and MacBook Pro no longer include an Apple Remote in the package, though it remains compatible and available as an option." IAmTheCoinMan ( talk) 13:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi. The center button is now "select," which means this is a 7-button remote. I just read it in the manual of the unit I received. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.78.33.151 ( talk) 20:03, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
When I first got my Macbook Pro (coming up on 2 and a half years now) it came standard with a remote, whereas now you actually have to pay for it. The article states that the price was "dropped" though. Thoughts? Was it a non-free option on iMacs before? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skootles ( talk • contribs) 05:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Can we have more information about the second gen remote? Does it use the same infrared codes? If so it would be useful to say so on the Article.
I will update when I find out.

The Apple remote is not supported on the 2010 or 2011 Macbook Air laptops. The Apple remote is supported on all older editions of the Macbook Air.
There are only 2 models of the air, 2010 and 2011 - so how the older? models are supporting it, is a very good question! ;) Think it may have meant to say, other Mac models support it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.15.209.253 ( talk) 11:22, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
From my research I've discovered some additional codes not documented here:
pairing works a little bit differently since it sends 0xE0 0x87 <command> <device> instead of 0xEE 0x87 <command> <device>
I've verified these codes using a white remote (not an aluminum one) using a logic analyzer.
The statement on the current page that menu + right changes the device id is incorrect. You must use menu + center to change the device id. I also don't think the information about the device change order is correct. My remote went from 0x00 > 0x80 > 0x81 > 0x82 > 0x83 > 0x84 > .... > 0x90. The jump from 0x00 to 0x80 may have happened using menu+right (I'm not sure) but after that menu+right did not change the device id and menu+center changed the device id in a sequential manner. I also don't think the information about the endianness is relevant since from what I can tell it's in the exact same order as all of the other bytes of the message. Perhaps there are different firmware versions in different white remotes that determine this operation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.95.155 ( talk) 05:32, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
