Questions & Answers for Apple Remote

Yep, I can confirm it works no problems, I run plex via a macbook pro plugged into the TV and it can sleep/wake the macbook and start plex all via the remote. You can run macbooks closed (clamshell mode) connected to the TV etc and they will still wake via the remote, mine does.

It's not a touch-wheel. It's just a re-design. 'Scrolling' around the circle does nothing.

Yes, and no. It depends on the application that you're trying to control. You won't be able to control Safari with the Apple Remote, but you can control Hulu Desktop with the Apple Remote (I currently do this with my Mac Mini media center). The Apple Remote won't operate as a mouse. It will more or less work with programs that use standard keyboard commands (like spacebar to play/pause, etc.)

There are also applications you can download that will allow you to customize the way that the remote commands are interpreted by the computer and different programs (i.e. Remote Buddy), so feel free to check those out and see if they meet your needs.

This product can be used on multiple products, all you have to do is enable the remote feature in System Preferences under the security section. once this is done, point the remote at the IR sensor on your computer and hold the menu and right button for 5 seconds (you should see two links chained together) to pair the remote. Repeat this process for all the products that you want this remote to work with. Note that if you have multiple products in the same room and you push a button on the remote, it will send a signal to all the products and they will react appropriately...

Yes. It works with Keynote but it requires line of sight with the mac's IR receiver

To use the Apple Remote with an iPod Classic, you must first place your iPod into an Apple Dock Connector. They come with an Apple Remote so if you plan on using this with your ipod just purchase the Apple Dock Connector.
