the battery is probably dead, new oens arnt hard to find, just push the little button at the bottom with a pen/pencil etc.
Make sure another apple remote is not paired with the machine. Go to system prefs in the security pane and click to unpair the remote.
I found this in troubleshooting
Troubleshooting the Apple Remote
What the problem turned out to be was the battery was dead. The laptop is only two days old so I figured it would of had a charge but I guess not. One this interesting in the article is that the built-in iSight will pickup the IR signal that emits from a remote.
