1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING - not compatible with Intel Macs, August 19, 2008

Me - See all my reviews

This review is from: Keyspan URM-17A Express Remote Control (Personal Computers)

This product does not work when connected to an Intel Mac running 10.5 (Leopard). Keyspan has been acquired by Tripp Lite and after several frustrating adventures with their tech support, it appears that there is no plan for further development activity. This would seem to be a dead product, at least with respect to the Mac.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with OS 10.5, November 1, 2008

Stefano41 "stefano41" (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Keyspan URM-17A Express Remote Control (Personal Computers)

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.
