I have a 2.4GHz Unibody MBP, with 10.5.6, and I am not able to pair with it the the remote control.

Both the remote control and the IR receiver on the machine work: if I press menu, the Front Row application is launched. I was able to pair the same remote with a previous-gen MBP without any problem.

The problem is when I try and pair them: if I press menu+next (or menu+play) for 5 secs or longer, nothing happens.

Any suggestion?

10 minutes later... Problem solved. Standard users cannot pair remotes even if they authenticate as administrators. In other to make a pairing, you must login in directly as an Administrator.

It would be nice if standard users could realize that by reading a message.
