I set my left and right direction buttons to skip forward and back as I wasn't sure if the rewind and fast foward buttons send a longer IR pulse. Set your Volume up, mute and volume down to be controlled by your amplifier/TV. I also set Menu, A, B and the guide buttons to the AppleTV Guide so I could hit any of them to go backwards. Ok Now you have to assign the correct AppleTV buttons to the remoteġ Click on "customize buttons" for the AppleTV activityĢ Just go down and select the "AppleTV" for the device, and the appropriate commands. Please rename your activity from custom to AppleTV etc Make sure to leave your TV, computer/AppleTV, amplifier or any other devices you use while the AppleTV is displaying, then hit saveĦ Video 6 for me (your settings will vary), nextĨ amplifier input for me is video 4 (again your settings will vary), next The activity setup is done, if you want to be fancy, you can rename it "AppleTV" knock yourself out.ĥ Add or Remove all the devices you do or don't need.
#HARMONY REMOTE FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
Ok here's the step by step to save everyone some timeġ In your harmony Remote Software Click "Add Device"Ĥ Now type in EXACTLY " Mac Mini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo", nextĥ Check "do not have a remote" and hit next againġ Click on the settings button for "Computer" The trick is to just add a new apple computer device and then have your activity reference it for the buttons.
When it did, the IR response for the apple TV was sluggish or very sketchy. I figured it would be simple just to do a learn IR command for each of the settings but that never worked properly and the remote just wouldn't sense the commands. I figured I'd post my guide to save all you folks the tedious trial and error pathway I had to go through.
In the end the setup proved to be quite simple and it (finally) works perfectly. Ok I just spent 12 hours (there was some sleep in the middle there) getting my Harmony 676 remote to work properly with AppleTV.
