Overview
Apple Remote with iPod and iPhone
If you connect your iPod to a home stereo, powered speakers or TV set, the Apple Remote lets you experience your songs, slide shows and more from across the room. Plug your iPod into the Universal Dock and choose a play list, slide show or video. Then sit back, relax and enjoy. Ready to move on to the next song? No need to get up. Just press the Next button on the Apple Remote. Getting a call on your iPhone? Press Pause, then pick up where you left off.
The Apple Remote requires the iPod Universal Dock and any iPod with a dock connector, or any iPhone.
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.

I was disapointed when i bought this wonderful remote and tried to put it on the side of my iMac like i did for my old ine. Wrong first of all the back surface is not flat its curvedd for design which doesnt have enough surface area to stick to the side of the imac.Later I tried sticking a stronger extrenal magnet to it and fould out its not magnetic at all. I thought it was magnetic.Overall it's a great remote and i like the ipod click wheel volume control too! …More

Apple Remote
form over function?
Written by CJ
Dec 15, 2009
Everyone knows that Apple make great products. This remote control looks like it should be another one. It feels great in your hand, has a nice weight and matches the new macbook perfectly, which is nice. I ordered my one from this website and when it arrived (the first working day after purchase) it worked perfectly. It was really easy to link up to my laptop and it started working straight away! The only problem is that it stopped working again almost as fast. I've had it for about 10 hours now and it barely works... It feels like it might be out of battery. You only get anything at all from it if you hold it 6 inches from the computer and even then, you get a response from every 12th jam on the button or so. The only thing that stopped me from smashing it was the thought that if it should then somehow miraculously start working again it would be damaged and the fact that ending with the words, "... then I smashed it." might hurt my story when it comes to getting a free shiny new one. I'm really just venting frustration here and i'm sure this is a one off (otherwise this page would be full of angry reviews) so I wouldn't go on this when deciding whether to buy or not. In the short time it was functioning properly, it was good! It works with iTunes and "Front Row" as well as "Keynote" presentations so its perfect. The buttons are a little on the small side. I don't have ridiculous hands and I feel like i'm pressing two buttons at once sometimes but its a good product and i'm sure it's handy when it works.

Apple Remote
Great product!
Written by SM from Perth
Dec 15, 2009
I bought this to replace the old, plastic remote that originally came with my MacBook and to match my Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard. I like the fact it has been made longer as:
1. It is harder to lose (a problem I ran into more than one with the previous remote!)
and
2. I have large hands, so I find it much easier to grip than the old, smaller one.
It would have been nice for Apple to add a click wheel type mechanism on the remote, but of course that would have meant a higher cost, but I am thoroughly impressed anyway. Overall, for £15, I feel this is a welcomed upgrade and am very pleased with my purchase. …More1 of 1 people found this useful

Apple Remote
1st Gen users
Written by JM from Nelson
Dec 14, 2009
I Just purchased this new remote from the Apple Store in Cardiff. While the new remote is quite aesthetic looking and blends in well with the colours of a Unibody Macbook or Macbook pro, there really is no reason to purchase this product if you have the previous generation remote.
For some bizarre reason i thought I needed a remote that matched the aluminium of my unibody macbook. Now I've actually used it and discovered there are no new features and the remote behaves exactly the same as the previous gen, I actually prefer the smaller design of the old remote.
Save your self some cash and stick with your previous remote, assuming you have one. If you don't currently own a remote; both remotes are very handy for Keynote/ Powerpoint presentations and not just for accessing your macs front row features. …More3 of 3 people found this useful
