Mac Remotes

Jan 14

Posted by vasu in Mac | No Comments

By default a mac remote is set to control every Mac in its dance and every Mac is set to respond. But it is possible to pair a specific computer with a specific remote.

Once you do this don’t forget which remote is paired with which computer.

To pair go to
System Preferences > Security.

Select the general tab and use the “Pair” button.

The older (white) remotes are supposedly parable with a Mac by pressing the “Menu” and “Forward” buttons together when close to the Mac (and no other Mac in vicinity).

The Library folder inside Home folder is by default hidden and is not visible. Sometimes you may find this little annoying. To make the ~/Library folder permanently visible open the terminal application and then type the following :

chflags nohidden ~/Library and then you can enable viewing of Library folder in sidebar of Finder.

To make it invisible again type in Terminal

chflags hidden ~/Library

You can also add a Keyboard shortcut  by launching System Preferences- keyboard. Then  select  Application Shortcuts. Tap the “+” sign and in the resulting drop down box  type Finder.app against application. Type Library for MenuTitle and use shift+command+L for keyboard  shortcut
