Thanks for the reply john. I’m looking for the delayed sleep with animation that the apple remote gives you so i can program my sony ericsson phone with it. I need the delay to disconnect the bluetooth remote link before sleeping otherwise if i try to exit the remote software on my phone it wakes the mac up again.

complicated i know

Option-Apple-Power or Option-Apple-Eject will sleep the machine.

Additional keyboard shortcuts can be found here:

One no.

One is better off with one Keyspan DMR.

if one were to purchase a USB IR adapter, could one use the apple remote to control Front Row on a 12″ powerbook G4?

My findings:

I was actually looking to find the shorcut to set the rating on a song (and find that there isn’t on unfortunetely… sucks, I’m not installing 3 programs/softwares just for that) and found that:

Apple-Esc: turns on Front Row
Apple-Option-Esc: *Immediately* quits front row
Any non-binded key: Quits Front row nicely (with spinny effect etc.)

Up: Vol up
Down: Vol Down
Right: next track
hold right: fast forward
Left: Prev. track
hold Left: rewind

space/enter: pause/select

this is just for the iTunes/music control though. Basically totally intuitive. Not a single hidden feature either, like Ratings!

A better way to quit Front Row:

Just quit like you do any other app: Command-Q

This quits out properly without using the force quit combination and without traversing up the menus.

TIP: You can also control Front Row with a Sony Ericsson (.hid files) or by using Salling Clicker.

Exiting Front Row is done the same way as entering Front Row (Command + Escape) if you press (Command + Option + Escape) you will force quit Front Row!
Selection can also be done by pressing Return key.
