Re: Can't Wake iMac

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Hello Matthew,

thanks for asking. Waking your Mac with the Apple Remote is only 
supported on Macs that have an internal receiver. As a standard HID 
device, the built-in IR receiver will send keypress-like events when 
you press a button and thus wake the machine independant of any 
driver. This is not the case for other receivers, as those are not HID 
devices.

Best regards, 
Felix
