The Remote only works through 10.4 and the packaging is misleading. I had to send an email to customer support to find out the problem. Now I have the headache of returning the item.
Rating: - WARNING - not compatible with Intel Macs
This product does not work when connected to an Intel Mac running 10.5 (Leopard).
