Q: Front Row keeps opening when I use my Apple TV remote, how do I disable that?
I just set up my apple tv... and I realize that my macbook needs to be on and itunes needs to be open in order to access my itunes on the tv. But, everytime I hit the menu button to go back one screen on apple tv, it opens frontrow on my computer. How do I disable that feature so it doesn't drive my computer crazy. Or sometimes if I press the middle button on the remote (to select something), a song will start playing in my iTunes library. Please help!

You can disable the remote IR receiver on the MacBook using the Security System Preferences. This is the best solution if you have only one Apple remote. If you have two Apple remotes you can "pair" one remote to each device. When the two remotes are paired, they will only work on the one device they're paired with.
