Mira Enables the Apple Remote for Any Mac

Not all Macs feature Apple Remote support “in-the-box,” including the Mac Pro desktops and the latest MacBooks. It doesn't matter if you have the newest Mac or an older one, with Mira and a supported IR receiver, you can use the Apple Remote with any application.
