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.
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 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.

Written by ZS from Avon
Oct 21, 2009
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.

Apple Remote
Ergonomically unusable for home theater
Written by TP from San Luis Obispo
Dec 11, 2009
This new remote is not usable for home theater. It's difficult to not press the main function ring and the new select/enter button at the same time because the new ring is not raised like it was in the previous white remote. The complete lack of tactile differentiation to discern between these two choices (i.e., ring or select) makes the remote unusable in a darkened home theater. …More

Apple Remote
Key color
Written by JH
Dec 10, 2009
While I agree that the remote is nicely designed, the black keys do not coordinate with the keyboard, and I wonder why they did this. Actually, I would have preferred a black key keyboard with the aluminum, matching the black Apple logo of my new iMac, but with the white keys, I would have now preferred white buttons on the remote. I realize this is nit-picking, but Apple is all about design continuation. …More

The extra button makes Apple TV easier to use
Written by KH from Jupiter
Dec 7, 2009
I like the extra play/pause button - you can just click play when you hover over an artist, genre or whatever without having to dig deeper into your selection.
Physically the remote feels really nice to the touch, is a good shape and size, and is harder to lose on white bed linen!
Nice job Apple! …More11 of 11 people found this useful
