I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 with a dvd/cd drive. I have “remote disc” showing up in Finder. I’ve tried to “Get Info,” and it shows “Locked” in grey letters. How do you unlock this and how do you remove this? Also, can someone who had physical access to your MacBook Pro create a script and hide the capabilities where they can remotely view my hard drive and computer……as in leaving a backdoor open? As I understand, this feature is for those MacBook Pro’s that did not come with a DvD/CD drive, so why on earth would I have this feature?

However, if you're just using a remote for the AppleTV the this doesn't really help you as the remote can still be used to control other devices (like a Macbook).

I would probably leave the infrared port turned off on the Macbook - Do you need it for anything else?
