Hi,
I just got a Bluetooth Adapter for my G5 hoping that I'd be able to use my iPhone as a remote when watching stuff. The G5 is using the Bluetooth Adapter just fine and recognized my iPhone. However, my iPhone refuses to pair with it and keeps telling me that the "device is not supported". Is this because I'm running 10.4.11 on the G5? Is there any way to make it pair? I have to use my MacBook to sync the phone because it won't work with 10.4.11. I, also, ordered an airport express card but that won't be arriving for another few weeks. Is there anything I can do to make the iPhone pair with my computer or am I going to need to buy one of those tiny Bluetooth mouse/keyboard if I want remote functionality?
Thanks
EDIT: I've gotten the Apple Remote app to work so I can play movies in my iTunes on this computer, but I'm still hoping there's a way to have a full remote mouse so I could, for instance, switch to different YouTube videos or the like without having to get up. I may be lazy, but I also have a joint disorder so the less getting up and getting down I do, the better. Thanks again
