I have a USB MCE receiver connected to my XBMC Live computer, and it works fine with the MCE remote, but I want to use an old IR Apple remote as a backup when I lose it. It has a little red LED on the front that lights up whenever I push any button on the Apple remote (But it also lights up for anything that gives off IR, including certain lights) and I want to know if its possible to use an Apple remote on a MCE receiver under Live.

Install Lirc and run irrecord. If you can get it to recognize the Apple Remote at this point, it may be possible. If it can't find the gap, it is incompatible.

I really doubt the two use the same IR protocol.
