Apple Remote

Ok i have the apple remote and I only have a min mac so it's no use with the mac. So I obviously use it with my iPod mini in the universal dock, now as great as this remote is it's really anoying me that the menu botton doesen't work and that I can only scroll forward and back between the songs. What I'm asking is if anyone knows of any modification I can make so that the menu botton works because it really is starting to bug me, Thanks

I think there was a hack to enable Front Row on all macs, so you might want to try that out.

huh? even on those that haven't got an infrared port? I thought the remote talks to the machines via an IR port :(

AR works only with Universal Dock or with iMacs/MacBooks Pro.

There's no hack and the remote works as designed. If it's annoying you, you should have checked before purchase.

Ok thanks I did but didn't think it would anoyme too much

The menu button works only for front row and i think we should agree that even if it worked on the iPod it would be pointless since i doubt anyone could be able to read the menus on iPod's screen from any considerable distance.
