Q: How do I pair Apple IR Remote with iMac
Apple IR Remote for my iMac stopped working, so I purchased $7.99 Duracell 2032 Battery. It did not work.
I brought another Apple IR Remote (for my Apple TV) and it worked fine with my iMac.
Is there way to pair my Apple IR Remote? Or is it broken?
Mac mini, OS X Server

If this iMac is the new slimline iMac, there is no longer any IR receiver technology in these iMacs.
If you want to control your iMac remotely.
If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Here's an app
