[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1782644, member: 305741"] With the Harmony remote the first thing you do is add devices that the remote should control. The items listed are the only devices that I told the remote I would use, so it should be the only devices the remote can control. That appears to be exactly the case here. Several people have posted saying that the codes for the Apple TV and the Mac Mini are identical, so it should not be surprising that the remote controls both. The actual Apple TV remote that came with the Apple TV does not control my Mac Mini, so perhaps it uses something other than IR to control the device, or perhaps its frequencies are different. I do not know, but I have turned off the IR receiver on the Mini and that solved the problem. Still, it seems odd that the Harmony remote, mimicking the Apple TV remote, controls the Mac Mini but the Apple TV remote itself does not. I may call Apple Care to find out about how the Apple TV remote works with the Apple TV and perhaps that will explain to me why the Harmony remote has this issue while the Apple TV remote does not.
