Reviews for Apple Remote

Whenever I use my remote that came with my apple TV, it also messes with my Mac, and I can't fix it.

Unfortunatelly the only device this remote works with is the Apple TV. If you're thinking about getting a remote for presentations or even controlling music on your Mac or iPad, just forget it!

Great little remote. If you lose it in you couch, don't just buy another like Juan O. They have a iPhone app that works the apple tv too. Gotta use your eyes and brain though.

Works great with Keynote!

Already broken after a year. No replacement offered though.

I bought this today for a class project. I was using a wireless mouse to go through power point presentations... and after being embarrassed by accidentally right clicking... I decided to get this thing. Its small and feels flimsy, but the uni-body design reassures me it is strong. on top of that, im using a Macbook Pro Mid 2011 upgraded to Lion, and it works great. People need to realize its a remote, not a genie.

My family has been converting to Apple for about 2 years. I think we are complete. I was surprised when I bought Apple TV that the remote that came with it actually worked on both of our Macs too. NICE. I didn't need to buy another accessory. What ever you are doing in design and customer relations... Keep it up!

I ordered this remote with my MacBook Air, it came in before the MacBook. The 1st thing that impressed me was how thin the remote was, 2nd was i figured I would have to set it up with my computers but much to my surprise I did not. I accidentally hit a button and my iMac came on and my jaw dropped. Another thing i was worried about was it would only be compatible with one mac but no it works with both of my computers and i can mess with my friends by turning their music on in class! For $19 you can't go wrong.

Great design. It's IR but worked very well from any direction to the receiver. It's about 5 meters on maximum distance from the receiver.

The function of this remote on OSX Lion are for controlling Quicktime, iTunes, and Keynote or PowerPoint presentations. They are turning up and turning down the volume, getting to the next or prev song, getting to the next or prev slide, play or pause the song or movie, play a slideshow (stopping a slideshow isn't supported), fast forwarding or rewinding the music and the video.

You're cool when you're presenting a slideshow using this device. That's the most great feature of this device.

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.
