I just got an Apple TV and as I use the remote it effects iTunes even when iTunes is not open, if I click the select button it launches iTunes and begins to play the first track in the last playlist selected. Is there a preference I can select that will stop this behavior?

I'm using Yosemite and can't find anything in the Security & Privacy preferences about disabling a remote. The preference has four tabs, General, FileVault, Firewall, and Privacy none of these has any option relating to a remote. After typing this I noticed the Advance button, which is not active as I had locked this preference so no changes could be made, finally here I found the remote option.

Is there a preference I can select that will stop this > behavior? If you have a Mac with an IR receiver, it defaults to recognising any Apple IR remote. This can be a problem if there are two Macs or other Apple devices with IR receivers in the same room. There are two ways to deal with this: (a) If you also have a remote for the computer but only want to control one device with each remote, you can pair the computer and ATV with a specific remote. (b) If you don't want the Mac to respond to any remote, you can disable the IR receiver. On the Mac, both of these are controlled in System Preferences > Security (10.6 or earlier) or Security & Privacy (10.7 and later). Click the padlock in the bottom left and enter your password to unlock. In 10.6 and earlier, the checkbox to disable the IR receiver and the Pair button are on the General tab. In 10.7 and later, you need to click the Advanced button to access these settings. The process for pairing is explained when you click the Pair button. If you want to pair a particular remote with the Apple TV (so it doesn't respond to other remotes) or cancel that setting, it is controlled in the ATV menus via Settings > General > Remotes > Pair/Unpair Apple Remote. If I remember right, the iPod universal dock also supports an Apple Remote and there is a pairing mechanism in the iPod user interface. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz
