I'm trying to pair my Apple remote (silver - 7 buttons) with my new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar and it doesn't want to work. Does new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar not have an IR receiver? Is that why it's not working?
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS Sierra (10.12.2)
No, the new MacBook Pro does not have an IR receiver.
Hope this helps,

So there isn't any remote that will work with it? That's disappointing.
It doesn't. Apple hasn't included an IR sensor in their models for several years.
It depends on what you'd like to do - to control Keynote presentations on your Mac, you can use the Keynote app for iOS.
What if I don't use Keynote? I'm using QuickTime Player right now and need my remote to work with my macbook pro 2016 with Sierra. Help?
