How to get it done

so you jus brought an apple remote and you want to pair it with your macbook, macbook pro etc, what do you do?

from Apple, it says:
1. Log in as an Admin user.
2. Get extra close to your Mac (about 3 or 4 inches away).
3. Point the remote at the Apple logo on the front of your Mac.
4. Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons simultaneously on the remote for 5 seconds.

well, it got me trying for hours and still nothing works, until i found this webpage!

So, if the above 4 steps dun work for you,
replace step 4 with:
Press and hold the Menu and Play buttons simultaneously on the remote for 5 seconds.

simple! it is time apple update their support articles!
