How to use the apple remote to my benefit?

I finally figured out that the music, TV shows, movies should be in iTunes. How do I add my movie collection to iTunes?

I can't drag and drop, and the "+" icon adds a playlist..

Thanks.

Just adding this too. Sometimes I play games that take up entire screen. In Windows, there's the start key. What's there for Mac?

 

I would like to know as well. The only things I can watch are trailers and it seems like they have to be fully loaded in before I can watch them, kind of weird.

Is it possible to "remodulate" or "recalibrate" it to be some kind of slide controller? For example, when I give a powerpoint presentation, can I use it to flip slides? That'd be cool.

 

So you want to access your movies in the iTunes menu in Front Row? In that case, simply create an Alias of the folder in which you store your movies, and move the Alias into your iTunes folder.

If you want to import your movies into the iTunes application, go to File>Import and select your movies.

I do not believe that Macs have a 'return to desktop' key. There are some ways that might work, for example bring up the Force Quit Application Menu via Cmd+Alt+Q+Esc, but that is not guaranteed.

 

importing movies creates duplicates though, so remember to delete the originals.

you can already use the remote with keynote

 

You can disable iTunes from creating duplicated by going to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and unchecking the COPY FILES TO ITUNES FOLDER box.

 

Doesn't the F11 key work as a "view desktop" thingy?
