Apple tv 1st Generation Remote Query

I have an Apple TV 1st Generation and I have lost the white remote control. I had installed the Remote App on my ipad and it was working fine but it seems to have lost the connection with the Apple TV and is not showing up the Apple TV when I go into the Remote App. I got a new white remote control but to get this paired I have to I have to unpair my lost remote. This is difficult to do as I have lost it! Does anyone have any suggestions how to get the new remote paired or to get the Ipad Remote app to work without going into SETTINGS > GENERAL > REMOTES in the main menu. Thank you!

Using the new remote, hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Lost remote for Apple Tv 1st generation.

Hi,
I've lost my remote for my 1st generation Apple TV and can no longer navigate through the menus. Can the 1st generation remotes still be purchased. If so where??! If not can a different remote work to navigate through the menus of a 1st generation Apple TV. I've tried a 2nd generation remote and it did not navigate through the menus but did make the light on the 1st generation Apple TV come on when I tried to push the buttons. I've downloaded remote apps. on my iPhone, but without the remote for the 1st generation Apple TV I was not apple to navigate through the Apple TV menus to sync up the iPhone remote app. Any assistance would be helpful.
Thanks
Kevin

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Actually you can use the remote app to control the first generation Apple TV, but you'd need the supplied remote to set it up.
You don't need the first generation remote, the remote for the second generation model will control either model.
So assuming you still have your remote for your second generation Apple TV you could configure the first generation Apple TV with it to work with the remote app on the iPad and not need to buy a new remote at all. But if you do buy a new remote, the one sold in the store will be just fine.

HT4437 Can I use AirPlay for Apple TV 1st generation

Is it possible to stream from iPad or iPhone to Apple TV 1st generation.

No, Airplay does not work on AppleTV 1. The software does not handle the protocol.
While Apple TV 1 can handle the Airtunes protocol for audio, current iOS versions seems to ignore this from apps like Music.
Your only option for audio on current iOS I've found is to use Remote app to control an itunes library for music and use 'Airplay' to the AppleTV for the music - iTunes still allows Airplay devices output for audio.
You could also control AppleTV connected to a Sync or Share iTunes library using Remore but of course computer needs to be running.

I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

I've looked at that, but on my PC, "look for remote speakers connected with airtunes" isn't an option.
The only options I get are "prevent ipods [etc] from syncing automatically" , "warn me when [X %] of the data on this computer will be changed" and "forget all remotes". Its also got a list of backups I have saved, as well as a button to reset sync history.
When I am playing a song, the "airplay" button isn't even visible.
I am sure that the apple tv setting is on as well. Is there anything else you can help me with?

HT3199 I have an apple TV 1st generation - it froze downloading a trailer and had to be unplugged. Since then I cannot access the apple tv menu. When I run diagnostics it says it is operating properly but will not factory restore. What can I try?

Apologies, I was looking at the wrong schematic for the Apple TV 1. There isn't a button. So lets try this instead...
Remove the power cord and wait 20 seconds.
Plug it back in and let it boot (Give it 10 minutes, it's being tempremental)
Try and navigate to the the advanced menu and do a factory restore
If that doesn't work then if you are using the white remote hold down the menu button for six seconds and release this should bring up a hidden menu which will allow you to access the advanced configuration settings.
Again, if this fails there isn't much to do than tap it with a hammer to see if that fixes it (hard to believe how many times that actually works. (No responsibility taken if it breaks!, but at least you'd have a good reason to buy Apple TV 3)

HOW TO CONNECT MY APPLE TV 1ST GENERATION TO ITUNES

i just got an Apple Tv 1st Generation without cables. i want to connect it to my Mac and sync it with Itunes. Which cable should i get to be able to do that

If you want to transfer something off AppleTV to iTunes you can only do that for iTunes store purchases made on AppleTV, and only if they've never synced back to itunes before - when AppleTV appears in iTunes if you right click on the icon there may be a transfer purchases option.
Annoyingly there has never been a way to use AppleTV 1 as storage like an external drive to salvage video/music/photos by manually copying them to the computer - doing so would entail hacking or dismantling AppleTV to access the drive directly and even then might be less than straightforward.
The USB port on AppleTV1 is not for connecting/transfer of data but for 'diagnostic purposes'.

My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Apple TV 1st generation heat

Is it ok to leave Apple TV (1st generation) on stand by for several weeks or even months? I´m asking this because of the heat produced. Cheers.Apple

Yes it's OK, but to reduce power consumption you may want to unplug it if it will be unused for prolonged periods of time.

Apple TV 1st Generation: Update failed. Apple tv could not be updated

Hello,
I have a problem with my apple TV 1st Generation.
I did a Factory Restore and now i have
Software Version 2.0.2
Software Build 120
OS Build Version 8N5461
EFI Version 00DA.B04
GF Version 3.1.0/2.9.50
I wanna upgrade the Apple TV to Software Version 3.0.2 which is the last but all i get after downloading and installing the update is the same message
Update failed. Apple tv could not be updated. Make a Factory Restore
I have made over 20 Factory Restores but the same message all the time.
I changed the dns server to 8.8.8.8 and 208.067.222.222 but no luck with any of these solutions.
Can somebody help me please, so i can update my Apple TV.
Thanks in advance.

I have already tried to update Apple TV by cable and I still have the same result.
I still can't update it.
Any other solution?
The most annoying thing is that it downloads the update and when it starts installation of 3.0.2 then the message appears.
Can this be Apple's servers problem or Apple's TV problem?

I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

AppleTV1 only supports HD upto 720p - chances are the iPad HD vserion is 1080p and beyond ATV1 capability.
Also do not expect recent iTunes purchases to appear on AppleTV 1 store menus as purchased - ATV1 does not know about 'cloud access'.
Best option is to download the 720p version (set in iTunes Preferences on computer iTunes) and sync/stream to AppleTV 1 from iTunes.

Can I use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation if I have a USB adaptor for my IPad

Hi there just wondering does anyone know if I can use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation 16gb (WiFi only) if I have a USB adaptor, will the IPad !st generation support a A Vodafone Dongle(Irish network)

You cannot plug a USB dongle into an iPad using the USB part of the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting cameras - hence the name.
You'd need to get a MiFi device to use 3G data via WiFo on your iPad.

Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation

Is it normal that Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation? I want to play music synced in my ATV 1st gen. to a nymber of speakers in the house. In the list of speakers I can see Apple TV itself and my two Airport Expresses 1st generation but not my Apple TV 2nd generation or my Airport express 2nd generation. For the ATV 2nd gen. I found a solution: when I enable the Airplay setting of XBMC which is installed on my ATV 2nd generation, then AirTunes in ATV 1st gen. sees the speaker "XBMS (Apple-TV)". Itunes can in my Macbook pro can use Airplay with all my speakers, i.e. ATV 1st gen., ATV 2nd gen., Airport Express 1st gen., Airport Express 2nd gen.

Last time I checked ATV1 could not use Airtunes to send audio to an AppleTV 2 or 3 - highly annoying as you think they would have kept backwards compatibiility for audio, but it seems Airplay is more than a superset of Airtunes.
