    Where is it?

    • Written by from Rugeley

    Its lovely and works fine but i keep losing it down the sofa!
    Seriously - this is a really small thin remote made slippy by being aluminium.
    Good job i have the remote app on my phone and ipad or I'd be stuck and unable to watch apple tv!

    Too small and thin

    • Written by from Mount morris

    This is one instance where small and thin don't work. Leave it on a couch or chair and it disappears into oblivion for days at a time. I had to turn my couch upside down to find it! Be nice if I could program my TV remote to operate my Apple TV. At least I would have a backup. That's the problem with a lot of devices with remotes. You loose the remote you can't operate the device! Should be some basic controls on any device with a remote. My other gripe is that you absolutely have to point the darn remote at the Apple TV box to get it to respond.

    DOES NOT work with RETINA MAC!

    • Written by from Bury St Edmunds

    I bort this for my new mac book pro 15" retina. After following the set up with not results, I have only just found out after looking at lots of forums that these are useless as the new retina macs as they dont have infra red! This was not stated when I bought it and as you can tell I am quite a bit annoyed!

    Only one flaw

    • Written by from Timmins

    Love this remote! The only flaw is its too small and gets misplaced often. I've bought a replacement one only to find the original and after a few days they are both missing! Lol

    Excellent

    • Written by from Hollywood

    These remtoes are great. I actually signed on here to buy a new one, because I got drunk last night and left it sitting in a puddle of water for a few hours. It seemed to like it stopped working, but I checked it again before buying a new one, and it started working perfectly again.

    Good Remote but

    • Written by from Tyler

    If your using this remote with a mac look for bettertouchtool, it is a must and infinitely extends the functionality of this remote by allowing you to customize the commands, these controls can be application specific so it can be used as a powerpoint remote etc.

    Needs improvement

    • Written by from Sydney

    The apple remote came with the apple tv but the remote's right botton stopped working after 2 months I thought it was just the battery but turned out that it was wreaked. I think it should be more compact and durable. It not a bad product but needs improvement.

    Broken after 18 months

    • Written by from Cary

    It feels good and it's fun to use, but the right directional arrow button on mine just stopped working and it's only a year and a half old. Pretty aggravating.

    works good

    • Written by from NEW BERN

    It seems to work fine for me on my late 2010 MB pro 17 that came with snow leopard and was upgraded to Mt. Lion a couple weeks ago. I just bought the remote since installing Mt. Lion, so I can't speak to it working with previous OS's or not. The people who can't get it to work with Mt. Lion may want to trouble shoot more, as it works with mine.....

    Mountain Lion Killed Front Row / Remote Is Useless

    • Written by from RIDGEWOOD

    Using the Apple Remote with Front Row on my iMac was one of my favorite features. Very disappointed this no longer works. Contacted Apple Support, who can only pass the information along. Hope this is fixed.

    And if it's not, Apple should change the product description...

    Apple remote useless on mountain lion

    • Written by from Paranaque City

    I have a snow leopard before and i enjoyed the front row features by using my apple remote. When I upgraded to mountain lion my apple remote became useless. You can only use it in Itunes and adjusting the volume that's it. I hope Apple can have a software upgrade so that we can use apple remote again for front row.
