Jan 24, 2016 4:08 PM in response to Paul in AZby Vinceassociate,Your iMac has a infrared reciever and is seeing the commands from the ATV. Read this and note by default the remote is not paired.
Pair or unpair your Apple Remote with your Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier) - Apple Support
Try pairing the remote with the ATV and see if it works. Not sure how old your iMac is but my 2008 I think came with a remote. It is long gone, but if your iMac is from that era, I would also suggest you get the remote that came with your iMac and pair it to the iMac as well. This way it will definitely ignore your ATV remote.
Also on your iMac check system prefs and if my memory serves me, look for some panel about the remote. I think there may be one to turn it off.
