How do I pair my TV remote with my MacBook?
System Preferences | Security | Pair indicates that one can pair a TV remote with the MacBook by holding down the Menu and Next keys on the remote simultaneously a few inches from the MacBook until the paired-remote graphic appears. However, this does not work. Nothing happens when I follow these instructions.
Yes, "DIsable remote control IR receiver" is unchecked.
Yes, the batteries in the remote are good.
This is NOT related to Apple TV. I have the Mac connected to a TV and use the Mac as a DVD player. I want to control the DVD via the TV's remote.
Any ideas?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
