Chapter 3 Using Your iMac 45

Pairing Your Apple Remote

If you have multiple computers or other devices with built-in IR receivers in a room

(for example, more than one iMac in a home office or lab), you can “pair” your Apple

Remote with a specific computer or device. Pairing sets up the receiving computer or

device so it’s controlled by only one remote.

To pair your Apple Remote with your iMac:

1 Move very close to your iMac (within 3 to 4 inches).

2 Point the Apple Remote at the Apple logo on the front of your iMac.

3 Press and hold the Next/Fast-forward and Menu buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.

When you’ve successfully paired your Apple Remote with your iMac, a chainlink ( )

symbol appears onscreen.

To delete a pairing between the Apple Remote and your iMac:

1 Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar.

2 Click Security and then click Unpair.

Turning Off IR Reception

You can use Security preferences to turn IR reception on or off.

To turn off IR reception:

Â Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar and click Security.

Â Select the “Disable remote control infrared receiver” checkbox.
