    Hello o0oYaSsEro0o,

     

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Not all Mac computes include a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. For information, check out this resource:

     

    About the Apple Remote control - Apple Support

    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201584

     

    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.

     

    - If your Mac has an IR receiver, but does not seem to respond to an Apple Remote, make sure the infrared receiver is not disabled in Security preferences.

     

     

    Cheers,
