I just covered the IR port on my MacBook with my thumb while I paired one remote with the iMac. Once the iMac only recognized its remote, I could pair the other with my MacBook.<BR/><BR/>I could never find out where the IR port on the iMac was located. I thought it was in the iSight housing, but covering that didn't keep the remote from working. If you know where the IR port is located on the iMac, I'd love to know. We have access to the service source pull-aparts here, and I couldn't seem to find out from them where it was located.David Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629153569649264575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1142367440349170142006-03-14T12:17:00.000-08:002006-03-14T12:17:00.000-08:00Hi, DavidSo how do you control _which_ Mac the rem...Hi, David<BR/><BR/>So how do you control _which_ Mac the remote pairs to? Why didn't it pair to the iMac instead?<BR/><BR/>The Apple instructions you quote say "position the remote 3 to 4 inches away"? (You didn't say anything about this in your own comments.) Is that it - the iMac was a lot further away? So this depends on some sort of field limit imposed when you press fast-forward? Does FF work OK normally from a greater distance?
