Is there any way of using the iPhone as a Bluetooth remote on a iMac?
We lost the little remote that usually sticks to the side of the iMac so it would be great if this was possible.
Cheers.

But it is WiFi, not BT, so you might be better off just buying another remote.

The remote that came with your iMac is not a Bluetooth remote, in fact its an infrared remote. The iPhone cannot be used to substitute for that, as it has no IR transmitter (nor could it be used as a Bluetooth remote, since the profiles dont support that).
You can purchase a replacement IR remote from Apple:
