You can also use "d'ailleurs" as "by the way". Example : "D'ailleurs, il ne m'a même pas rappeler" "By the way, he did'nt even call me back"

D'ailleurs can also complete a positive response. For example: A: Vas-tu partir en vacances avec eux? B: Oui! Ca fait longtemps qu'on voulait partir ensemble. D'ailleurs, mon frere a une maison là-bas. B: Yes! We have been meaning to go on vacation together for a long time. Moreover, my brother has a house on the beach there. Its gonna rock!!

"D'ailleurs": the literal meaning is "from elsewhere". De=from; ailleurs=elsewhere. Its used to complete an idea that has been evoked just before. "By the way" is more like "Au fait". It doesnt have a connection with what was said before. It actually introduces a new idea. For example: A: Au fait, vas tu partir en vacances avec eux? B: Non. C'est trop cher. D'ailleurs, j'ai plusieurs rendez-vous importants la semaine prochaine. The excuse of the meetings CCOMPLETE the first excuse of the trip being too expensive... In english you'd say something like: A: By the way, will you go on vacation with'em? B: No. It's too far. Besides, I have important meetings coming up. ... hope that helps

Attention à une autre utilisation avec un sens totalement différent! "il vient d'ailleurs" -> he's coming from somewhere else Ailleurs in this case means "somewhere else"
