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.

You can use this: http://www.iospirit.com/index.php?mode=view&obj_type=infogroup&obj_id=24&o_infogroup_objcode=infogroup-23&o1_infogroup_objcode=html-141&sid=8776784G0d456a28569b256a
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:
