[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1782655, member: 131855"] The pairing (linking) procedure discussed in the article I linked to above is for the original Apple remote and subsequent aluminum model that preceded the Siri remote. Neither of these remotes use Bluetooth (IR only) but both have a pairing (linking) procedure to match them with a Mac or Apple TV. [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203777"]See Here[/URL] I suspect that what has happened is that the Harmony remote sends the right IR codes but if it has not been linked to the Apple TV those codes are also being picked up by the Mac. This would only be an issue if the Mac in question has an IR port that hasn't been deactivated. I don't remember when they dropped the IR port but it was a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
