iPod Remote

[Gem]

Bought an iPod remote ages ago and I can't for the life of me get it to "talk" to my iPod.

I've visited the Apple website and the support is a bit of a jumble TBH. No clear "Gem Friendly" guidance. (Or maybe I'm just not looking properly).


Anyone wanting to help a thicko like me out? When it comes to Apple products I'm more of a tard than normal I'm afraid


Much appreciated

Yes Mr Boosh, thats the one I was on about. Didn't realise Apple remote wasn't specific enough....

And no I haven't found the blurb...but as I said in my original post...I may be being super blind.


Any helpful advice?

thats all the info i can find for you. never used one myself so can't really help you as i dont know how they work etc. but the answer should be in those links i gave you somewhere... diddn't you get instructions with it lol

You've seen Apple instructions I trust?

They basically say:

"Go to our website at: www.apple.com"


Useful.....but thanks dude, I'll give it a go, probably get pissed off when I dont get it and give up

Being a girl sucks sometimes...LOL.

BOOSH! D'yer mind lol??????

That's an Apple Remote - does it even work with the JBL system? I doubt it?

It's just infrared.. It works with Macs, Apple TV, Apple iPod Docks, etc.

iPod's don't have infrared - docks do, but then, I reckon you'd need the Apple dock for that remote to work.

Please note: The Apple Remote requires the iPod Universal Dock and any iPod with a Dock connector.

I'm offically a t**t.....


Meh, I have just pissed myself as no-one including myself spotted that. Looks like I will be buying an Apple system for the bedroom then....

I didn't notice it on the play site, I just looked at the pic and knew. :rasp:

Thanks Daz


God I'm such a n00b.....

 

[The Boosh!]

n00000000b

 

[Gem]

n00b x 1,000,000 TBH.

 

[Hayley]

Gem you absolute cockhead... lol

My advice fails in this instance, however, in futures... steer clear of technology

 

[clioswamp]

as said the apple remote only works with the apple dock. also i don't think you get a connecting cable with the dock, and to power it (if you want) you'll also need an apple plug, all handily sold expensively separately. you may also need a headphone to stereo cable if you're connecting to a hifi without a usb port. and to top it off the menu button on the remote doesn't work with ipods.

I'll stick to getting off my lazy arse to change tracks I think...


Fooking technology!

 

[The Boosh!]

good.

lazy tw*t
