Pairing is not intuitive - the remote just sends a signal with some kind of code to identify that particular remote.


When you pair a remote it makes AppleTV or Mac only respond to commands from the remote with a certain code.


By default AppleTVs and Macs are not apired so work with any remote - even if that remote is paired with another device as the rewmote has no role in pairing apart from providing a code to identify it specifically.


Try:


Use the Security pane in System Preferences to turn the infrared ('IR') reception on your Mac off (or back on). To do this:

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu in the upper-left menu bar.
  2. Choose Security from the View menu.
  3. Click the lock and enter your Administrator password if necessary.
  4. In OS X Lion v10.7 or later, click the 'Advanced' button in the lower-right corner.
  5. Enable the 'Disable remote control infrared receiver' checkbox.
  6. In OS X Lion v10.7 or later, click the OK button.
