Giraffe Longneck Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 So I switched my main desktop over to mac and I am absolutly loving every detail about it. The biggest thing I miss from windows is having a remote to control my music collection with. I know there are remotes out there I can buy but I have a regular Microsoft Media Center remote from before the switch. I was curious if its possible to get that to control itunes or front row rather than spending money on another remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special-K Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't think you can. Unless someone made a driver for it on the net. Apple Remote FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Try a joystick enhancer application and connect the remote to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Longneck Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks for the responses. I'll go out and pick up a different remote (I supose its time to part ways with the microsoft one anyway lol). It was worth a shot anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyel Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi Giraffe: How about using Remote Buddy? I heard of this product on the MacCast PodCast with Adam Christenson. I haven't tried the software, but they had some callers swear by the product. By the way, I'm using Griffin's AirClick USB to control Front Row, DVD Player and iTunes on my OSx86 PC. --danyel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Longneck Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I've looked into that but while it shows support for the reciever I have, it doesn't support the remote. I shows that you can use the reciever with the Apple remote. Seems to be the theme with most stuff I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
