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, slideshows, and more from across the room. Plug your iPod into the Universal Dock and choose a playlist, slideshow, 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.

Please note a Universal Dock is required in order to use the Apple Remote with your iPhone or iPod.

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 Movies folder, and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slideshow, a home movie you made in iMovie, even a movie trailer.

Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver.

    Does not work with OS X Vista (I mean Lion)
    • Written by JR from Vine Grove
    • Jul 22, 2011

    This was a very nice tool with Snow Leopard, worked great! Since I upgraded to Lion (they removed Front Row), it only controls iTunes - when I say it controls iTunes, I mean you can play a song or video that is already selected but you cannot change the selection. Additionally, you can control the volume; otherwise, it is useless now. …More

    Works quickly and works well!
    • Written by RL from New haven
    • Feb 9, 2012

    I bought it as an impromptu purchase right before I gave a Keynote presentation. Right out of the box, it immediately somehow "recognized" my macbook and my macbook only (other people in the room had macs and I still can't quite figure out how it knew to direct itself to mine) and I was able to use it seamlessly with my presentation. The only thing that might be handy is a laser pointer at the end so that I don't also have to carry a pointer. But very happy with this sleek littile thing. …More

    Don't Buy for Lion
    • Written by RF from Hickory
    • Feb 7, 2012

    This remote and the old remotes worked great with Front Row. In Lion there is no Front Row. Until Front Row returns this is really not a good purchase.

    This remote has limited functionality with iTunes. Just not worth the money.     …More

    Why no mute button?
    • Written by GL from Seattle
    • Feb 1, 2012

    I mean really. I know you like to have them look all spacey and minimalist, but seriously, a mute button is super helpful in a remote control. Just double it up with the menu button, make it a single tap and menu a double tap. Come on. …More

    The best place to get one is at the Apple Store. You can also get one from amazon.com for the same price, but combined with shipping it will cost more and you'll have to wait. If you haven't been to a Apple Store, get on Google Maps and search for the nearest one. Besides being a store, it's also a fun place to be.

    P.S. The current Apple Remote will work with the 1st and 2nd generation Apple TVs.     …More

    Yes, the remote can be used to control PowerPoint but it's important to know which version of PowerPoint you're using. The remote can not control PowerPoint 2004. I know the remote will control either PowerPoint 2008 or PowerPoint 2011. …More
