Hi Walter, From the Apple support page "Pairing your Apple Remote with your computer":
Log in on your Mac as an Admin user. Get very close to your Mac (about 3 or 4 inches away). Point the remote at the infrared sensor on the front of your Mac. Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons simultaneously on the remote for 5 seconds. Your Apple Remote is now paired with your computer. You should see a chain-link style lock appear in the center of your screen for a moment. <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1619> Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 26 Mar 2014, at 4:55 pm, "F.W.
