If you use your macbook to listen to music, here’s a great tip. You can use your Apple remote (that comes with Apple TV or that you can buy separately on the Apple store) to turn the volume up and down and also to skip, pause etc. But firstly you need to pair the remote to your laptop. Here’s how.

Grab the remote, point it to your laptop, hold down the ‘MENU’ button and the right arrow button at the same time.

After approx 2-3 seconds the logo below will appear on your screen. This means the Apple remote has been paired!

To unpair a remote, go to System Preferences, Security, General, Advanced, and click on ‘Unpair’.
