I was give an older Apple remote control to use on my MacBook Pro retinal. It is not a bluetooth one I guess ( white, smaller and black on tip).
Can it be used?
I did not find any setting for it in system preferences.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
The MacBook Pro with Retina display doesn't come with a IR receiver, so you can't use the Apple Remote with that MacBook Pro

If I wanted a remote for the Mac Pro Retina, what would I look for?
Possibly bluetooth?
Even thoughI have used Apple computer since 1982, never owned a Apple laptop.
Still leaning to use this laptop, did inherited a Asus PC laptop from my mom.
Thank you for your help on this issue.
Bluetooth or use an iphone, ipod touch, or ipad.
Had not realy thought about using an iphone,ipod touch or a ipad!
Mostly a destop geek, except for a Asus laptop I use for church work.
Had a unfavorable experience with a bluetooth ear piece a few years back, started out ok then it always dropping connections, then dead to charge when I did need it..
Will have to set time to play I guess !
Thanks again to mende 1 and cbs 20 for your inputs and my education on the macbook pro and bluetooth.
