Using an Apple Remote
If your computer is equipped with a built-in infrared receiver, you can use an Apple
Remote to control iTunes and Windows Media Player (not included with Boot Camp).
The remote lets you change the sound volume, start or pause playback, and skip to the
next or previous item. You can also use the remote to open iTunes in Windows.
To open iTunes using an Apple Remote:
m Press the Menu button.
If iTunes is already open, you can press the Menu button to bring iTunes to the front.
The Apple Remote uses an infrared transmitter, and works with Mac computers that
have an infrared receiver. If the remote has an unobstructed line of sight to the
receiver, it can work at a distance of up to 30 feet.
Pairing Your Computer with an Apple Remote
If you have more than one infrared-equipped computer at the same location, you can
“pair” each computer with a specific Apple Remote. Otherwise, the computer takes
commands from any remote within range.
Pairing sets the computer to take commands only from the specified remote. You can
pair your computer with only one remote at a time.
To pair your computer with a remote:
1 Hold the remote close to the computer (3 to 4 inches) and point the remote at the
front of the computer.
2 Press and hold both » and ‘ on the remote for about 5 seconds, until a chain link
(
) symbol appears onscreen.
Unpairing Your Computer from an Apple Remote
Pairing your computer with a remote tells the computer to take commands only from
the specified Apple Remote. You can pair your computer with only one remote at a
time. If you’ve paired your computer with an Apple Remote, you must unpair the
computer before you can use the computer with a different remote.
To unpair your computer from an Apple Remote:
1 In Windows, open the Boot Camp control panel and click the Remote tab.
2 Click Unpair.
