Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

After Lion, no option to disable IR remote.

After Lion install, when I go to system preferences, secutity & privacy, general, there is no longer an option to disable the IR remote as was the case in Snow Leopard. It's driving me crazy trying to navigate my apple TV when I also end up accessing some function on my MacBook Pro. Is this no longer an option or is it now in a different spot? I've looked all over and can't find it.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

I am having the same problem, and have a NEW top-of-the-line MBP also, with 10.9.1.

I also have the latest OS updates.


I cannot PAIR or UNPAIR a remote!


Also, when I do Command-Tab from iTunes (latest) to Safari, and go back, the iTunes list of songs is completely gone. When I Quit, and come back in, it returns. A hassle! APPLE, Please FIX.

That's so annoying... I'm running 10.9.2 on iMac and this option is no more in the settings!

Now each time when I want to turn on something on my AppleTV using remote my iMac starts itunes.😟
