- 5 Stars for the product; 3 Stars for the price!
The Apple Remote (NOT iPod remote as some people think it's sole purpose is) is an excellent solution for control from distance. I bought this for my MacBook so I could control iTunes from across the room, and be able to use Front Row while sitting down. Both can be done effortlessly!

Buttons included are Menu, Volume + and -, Track Forwards and Backwards, and Play/Pause. Note that these buttons ultimately become Left, Right, Up, Down, and OK buttons on Front Row, which surfaces Apples innate ability to give simplicity a new definition.

Somehow, incredibly, the remote can be used without even pointing it at the MacBook. Since it's Infa Red, I really don't understand this! It's incredible. But since you must actually ... Read More:

- Nice remote, just a couple of downfalls.
I've been using an Apple remote since I got my Macbook Pro, and I'm on the whole impressed.

The range is pretty good, and the strength (or whatever you want to call it) is excellent - you can point it any which way and it'll still recieve the signal. It's lightweight and fits nicely in your hand, too. I like the tactile buttons aswell.

That's not to say that there aren't a few issues. I'm not impressed with the shiny white plastic, for example. It gets scratched very easily, and after a few days use starts feeling greasy. The one thing that I really dislike is the lack of storage on the Macbook Pro its self. On the iMac, Apple included a little magnetic bit where your remote can sit. Surely it would have been sensible ... Read More:

- Excellent Remote Control
I love the Apple Remote. It totally redefines what a remote control should look and feel like. It's very small, it's light, it fits nicely in the hand, it works in all directions, and it's very simple to use. You can use it to control Apple MacBooks, Apple iMacs, Apple iPod Universal Docks, and Apple TVs, which is pretty clever when you consider it only has 6 buttons.

But the thing that I like most about the Apple Remote is that, because it only has 6 buttons, you don't need to look at it to use it. Most remote controls have so many buttons, that you keep having to look at them to locate the correct button. For older people that wear reading glasses this can pose a real problem, because they keep having to switch between reading (for ... Read More:

- Menu Button-why it doesnt work
Everyone, the reason the menu button does not work with the Apple iPod is that the remote is in fact a universal remote which can be used with apple iMacs, and the menu button in fact has no use with the iPod, but with the 'FrontRow' program on an iMac. Its not a malfunction, the menu button just isnt supposed to work with iPods!!

Hope this clears things up.
