Hey everyone,
Around xmas time I bought an Apple Remote because it's just a lot easier than reaching over to my MBP to play, pause and skip songs. A few days ago I bought an Apple Universal Dock to charge my iPhone as the dock I had was part of a Creative 2.0 PC speaker setup that I don't use anymore and always had problems charging (said it wasn't compatible), and to my surprise, the Universal Dock comes with an Apple Remote (white plastic one, the other one I have is the aluminium one). I can see this being very useful for the same reasons.
However, both of these remotes control each other. If I use the remote with the dock to play music or change volume, it does the same on my laptop. And vice versa. Is there any way to specify a device to a remote?
