Apr 7, 2012 9:47 PM in response to multilink13by Alley_Cat,The pairing does not stop a remote controlling something else - it only makes the paired device ignore other remotes - something the paired device or computer does. The rmote is a cheap passive thing that has no idea if anything is 'paired' to it.
You either need to pair macs/other devices with their own remotes or for your macs turn off the IR sensor in System Preferences>Security

thanks again for the idea.
