Apple Remote Control for iPod White

Box Contents: Apple Remote, Battery (CR 2032), User Guide
With the Apple Remote, you can take control of your digital entertainment from anywhere in the room. Simply connect your iPod to a home stereo or a speaker system, and experience songs, slideshows and more from across the room. Just plug your iPod into the Universal Dock and choose a playlist, slideshow or video. Ready to move on to the next song? No need to get up from your sofa–just press the forward button on the Apple Remote. Phone ringing? Just click pause, then pick up where you left off.
The Apple Remote also works with the new iMac G5. It combines with Front Row — a menu-driven, full-screen interface — to make accessing your iMac’s digital bounty from any seat in the room as simple as navigating your iPod. When you click the Apple Remote’s Menu button, your desktop fades and Front Row’s sleek interface takes its place to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Movies folder and whatever DVDs you want to play. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars It Does what it is designed to do
Anyone who has owned a mid to late series Apple computer has used one of these little numbers. Simply put, It Does what it is designed to do. It works great at a decent distance, It seamlessly controls Front Row ans well as 5 (that I have tried) of the most popular Front Row alternatives. Its a must have for the Front Row/Mac/ipod user.
5 Stars Great for the Macbook Pro!
I have the latest generation unibody designed Macbook Pro with Intel 2.53 Ghz Processor, 4 GB RAM and 320 GB Hard drive. I wanted the Apple Remote to give me added convenience for operation.
This is a compact design with simple controls:
Menu
Volume up/down
Fast Forward/Rewind
Play/Pause
This is powered by a CR 2032.
Set up is simple by pushing the Fast Forward/Menu button. Once you get the link icon, you are ready to go. You get a menu to access the following:
Movies
TV Shows
Music
Podcasts
Photos

It has an excellent range. I can control it from across the den (19 feet) - if I needed to. Practically, you will control it from about 5 to 10 feet away (i.e. college dorm room or apartment). I do not have an IPOD dock to assess the functionality of the remote with the IPOD.
I highly recommend the Apple Remote for the newly designed Macbook Pro.
5 Stars Great for the iMac
I have one of these remotes that came with my iMac, and I like it. It helps turn my iMac into a great flat-panel monitor for watching DVDs or streamed videos. It has a magnet on the side, which means I can stick it to my iMac and just leave it there.
I can’t really see the point of getting one of these for an iPod, though. My iMac has a big screen, which means I like to watch movies on it at a distance. I guess there must be other uses for it when it comes to an iPod that I’m not aware of. For watching video on an iMac, this is a must have.
5 Stars Apple Remote is Fabulous
The remote control is tiny, fits well in hand and is easy to use. I love it and wish I had purchased it sooner. If you are considering buying one consider no longer order it today and enjoy!
4 Stars You Must Know..
Okay look. Lots of people say “NOO” to this product, but you have to know what it’s purpose is! I just recently bought a MacBook, and in the instructions, it always talked about the Apple Remote. I found that this was the remote, and the “For iPod” actually means “for all mac products with an IR port” It DOES work. Maybe not perfectly, because it’s an IR (infra-red). but well enough to be able to move through music, video and even powerpoint presentations with ease from across the room! Last I checked, that’s what they said it would do. It DOES work with the Universal Dock. And especially well with the MacBook and MacBook pros. If this is what you want from a remote. Buy this one!
