I can't get my apple tv remote to stop turning on and playing itunes when I'm trying to watch tv. I have turned off bluetooth on my macbook.
Help!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I found a way to do it! On my macbook, system preferences, security, general, advanced, disable remote control infared receiver. Now it shouldn't turn on with any of my remotes (hopefully)!
thanks for the help!
If you don't actually use the remote for your MacBook you could pair the Apple Remote with the Apple TV so it only works for the Apple TV. The following link has instructions and though it only says ATV 1 and 2 I just check my ATV 3 settings and it's the same.

Hope that helps
thanks. I'm using a universal remote to control my apple tv. I didn't write the question correctly, sorry. Can I do the same thing with that?
I'm not sure. The remote must use the same code for both the Apple TV an Mac to work for both of them. You could check with the manufacturer and see I they have seperate codes for the devices. As far as pairing to the Apple TV it wouldn't hurt to try.
Best of luck.
This helped me out, I was struggling with the same issue. Thank you!
