Will an old Apple Remote work with a new Mac Mini

leec1979 · Mar 22, 2010

Hi all,

I have a MacBook that is about 3 years old now. It came with an Apple Remote (the little white one). If I were to buy a new Mac Mini would I have to buy a new Apple Remote, or would the remote that came with the MacBook also work with the Mini?

Thanks!

Yes, it will work

Yeah it'll work. When I use the remote for my iMac, it sometimes sends the command to my MBP if its on and nearby (really annoying).

You can pair it to only work with your iMac from Sys Prefs -> Security
