Mar 5, 2011 5:03 PM in response to igor.cornejoby Craig Nakamoto,I am having exactly the same problem with Mac OS X 10.6.6 too. Would love to know how to disable Front Row and/or the remote. -
Mar 5, 2011 5:06 PM in response to Craig Nakamotoby Craig Nakamoto,OK, found the answer in another thread:
Go to System Preferences > Security
On the "General" tab, the last option should say "Disable remote control infrared receiver." Check that, and the remote won't trigger Front Row any more (this is on Leopard, 10.5.2). If you use other infrared devices to operate you Mac, then this won't work for you, but it is a simple solution to eliminate the remote conflict between two Apple devices running Front Row. -
Jul 9, 2011 5:16 PM in response to Craig Nakamotoby Alphonse,that would be fine if I didn't use the remote to control other apps (pianopub). I have disabled the keyboard shortcut so I stop accidentally triggering FrontRow from the keyboard, but really just want it off my Mac.

Jul 15, 2011 10:31 AM in response to igor.cornejoby Greencard,I remember seeing this issue when looking at the xbmc forum, where the apple remore was controlling both Frontrow and XBMC on the same Mac.
I beleive they had a solution, but can't remember what it was offhand. Please go to their forum if noone can help you here

Jul 15, 2011 10:42 AM in response to Klaus1by Alphonse,deleting the application is ultimately what I decided to do, however, I not only had to delete the launcher app from /Applications, I also had to delete the full app from /System/Library/CoreServices. My Mac still goes to sleep whenever I put my AppleTV to sleep though, which is annoying since I'm usually switching from watching the AppleTV to using the Mac. at least most of the issue is solved.

You don't need to lose Front Row, you just need to 'pair' the remote with a specific device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1555 tells you how to pair the remote to a specific Apple TV; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1619 tells you how to pair the remote to a specific Mac;
and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4154 tells you how to pair the remote to a specific univeral iPod dock.
Hope this helps!
