How can I use an Apple remote control with customized actions without having the button actions happen? I want to use a white plastic Apple remote with BetterTouchTool to control Safari, but while it works, the default button actions (e.g. skip, volume up) still happen. How can I prevent this?
I've been looking for a solution to this for a long time everywhere. That is discussions.apple.com, various popular technology websites and mac forums. The only real solution that I've seen is a piece of software by Twisted Melon.
Mira: Remote Control any Mac
This applications rests in the system preferences and customizes the apple remote buttons on a per-app basis. You can download and try the software from their website.
