This forum is for the support of ARD Apple Remote Destop which is software to remotely manage macs over a network
IF you want support for your macs remote try posting in one of the mac hardware forums
Hello yosimitesam,
If your new MacBook Pro has an IR sensor, then the Apple Remote can be used with it. Below you can find information that can help determine if your new MacBook Pro does, indeed, have an IR sensor.
Some Macs do not include a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Computers without an IR receiver can instead work with the Remote application for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Check your Mac's documentation, or look in System Profiler (within the USB section) to see if your Mac includes an IR receiver.
