can i control apple tv from my macbook? -- verification needed!

It is just plain stupid not to have an Apple TV Remote app for OS X.

Don't need it? Do you need nachos? C'mon!

It's not what I was looking for. I want the 'Remote' app that I have on my iPad on my MacBook Pro. It's just silly that it doesn't exist.

They can if it's from the App store. If enough people provide feedback and it's clear there is enough of a need then i'm sure they would develop something.

THERE IS A NEED!!

However, I think Apple is more concerned with controlling content (i.e. impeding access to alternative movie and music sources) rather than user convenience.

If there is clearly a need and all those who want such functionality provide feedback (using the form provided) then they will become aware of it.

Then provide adequate feedback to Apple.

Nevertheless, this is not an official path to make feature requests and recommendations.

1Keyboard is making my AppleTv more of something i might now use.

not perfect, but much better than before.

(i don't have an iPhone and i don't want to share my macbook screen)

so thanks!

It appears that to connect 1Keyboard to your appleTV you NEED the remote to pair it, is that true?

Ditto

'1keyboard' app for macbook seems to solve the problem. You can bluetooth to Apple TV with macbook pro, then use arrow keys on macbook's keyboard to navigate. Good enough for now.
