Does your Mac have an IR receiver? Per

I do not see an IR receive listed,.under connections.

About the Apple Remote control
Learn about the Apple Remote control.
An Apple Remote lets you remotely control your Apple TV, some third-party iPod docks, iPod Hi-Fi, and features in some Mac applications such as Front Row, Keynote, iTunes, and DVD Player.
About the Apple Remote
The Apple Remote operates on an infrared (IR)-based transmitter. If it has an unobstructed line-of-sight to the receiver, the Apple Remote can function at distances of up to 30 feet (about 9 meters).
Notes
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.
