Apple TV3 Dissappears in Apple's Remote App after a While

I have an ATV3 with latest f/w connected via Ethernet to my LAN. I also have (2) iPads (3. Gen. and mini-retina), both on latest f/w as well. They connect to my LAN through 2.4 or 5GHz band (I run various SSIDs). The network connections themselves are very robust.
I have installed the Apple Remote App (latest) on both iPads.
Here is the issue.: after a while (1 or a few days) the ATV no longer shows up in the Remote app on either iPad. A restart of the ATV resolves this issue till the connection disappears again.
I also run iTunes on a PC on the same network.
This library never disappears from the Remote apps.
Any idea what is wrong and importantly how to fix it?
TIA! 

Most likely the ATV is going to sleep or shutting down the Wi-Fi to reduce power consumption.
My ATV is connected via Ethernet and is always visible via the Remote app.

  • Installed iOS 8.1.3 on iPhone 6 and Apple TV Remote App no longer works

    After installing 8.1.3 and rebooting, the Apple TV Remote App stopped working. I can tap to select options, but cannot swipe or gesture to move to other options. Rebooted Apple TV and iPhone 6, no change. No other apps were affected.

    Hi Chris Parich,
    I see that you may be seeing some issues with your ability to connect to the Apple TV through your Remote App. Here is an article with some troubleshooting steps to help you address this:

  • How do i use the apple tv remote app to navigate the apple tv?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been given an apple tv remote from my step father. I couldn't honestly tell you which model I'm afraid. He's lost the remote.
    I've managed to get the apple tv turned on using a youtube that explaned how to set up with an ethernet cable. I can even airplay stuff from my itunes. However I want to pair my existing remote and I can't work out for the life of me how I use the apple tv remote app to navigate whilst on the apple tv main menu.
    There's just no option to do this, despite the youtube vid seemingly doing it. Has a previous update of the app rendered this featured obselete?
    Some clarity or help on how I can navigate the apple tv using either my iphone or macbook would be great. That way I can pair my existing tv remote for future use.
    Thanks everyone in advance!

    Purchase a replacement remote.
    The remote is required for configuring the ATV and setting up the remote app on iDevices.

  • Has the IOS update on my Ipod caused the Apple TV Remote App to have connection problems?

    I recently updated the software on my IPod Touch and now the Apple TV Remote App won't connect to the Apple TV.  Home Sharing is turned on for both my computer and Ipod.  ITunes and the IPod have both been updated.  Is there an issue with the new software?

    Did you update the OS on the Apple TV?
    My iOS 7 devices work fine with my update Apple TV3

  • Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app.  Only thing that shows on iP screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.

    Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app as I used to do before the update.  Only thing that shows on iPhone screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.  Sorry if this is not exactly the right place to post this!

    One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
    In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet.  The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
    When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
    If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
    Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing.  Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues.  Purely Home Sharing.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hi Kappy Thanks for your answer. I did a reboot on my Macbook as suggested and this operation is going on non stop for 14 hours and on the screen always appears the same message that you can see in the picture in attachment. Any ideas?

  • Ipod touch and apple tv loosing connection (remote app) after a few minuts

    Hello, I've installed Apple Tv and everything seems to work properly. I've intalled also Remote app on my ipod touch. Unfortunately after a few mimutes playing songs (10 / 15) it simply stops. The only way to go on listening is to press the ipod button...
    I've checked the settings on the ipod but I didn't find any helping point.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Why is the Apple TV Remote App So Glitchy All Of A Sudden?

    I've owned my 2nd Gen Apple TV for at least four years.  It has been great, and the Remote App has been a great addition for use on my iPad and iPhone.  However, since the iOS8 update, this app has been absolutely terrible.  Connectivity issues abound, and the only thing that ever seems to help at all is the complete reboot of the device containing the remote app.  Please fix this issue... it's not okay...

    Have you tried all the steps in this article.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Apple TV remote app not working

    I just did the Apple TV update and now the Remote App can't find my Apple TV. There are no lights on the Apple Tv and beyond unplugging it and replugging it in I have no clue how to fix this... help?!

    No there's nothing showing on my tv. I think the ATV won't turn on because I can't use the remote app and the original remote is lost. :S

  • Is the apple tv remote app fully functional with the iPhone 3gs?

    I am thinking of getting the Apple TV so that I can stream things from my macbook pro via airplay but wanted to make sure the app on the iPhone 3gs would allow me to control it.  However, I could not find an answer to this question anywhere.  Anyone know if it will work fine?  Thanks!

    The remote app allows you to pick what media you want to play, pause, fast forward, rewind, etc. I is a remote that provides a wonderful interface to do all things related to "traditional remote control functions".
    Mirroring is a function of apple TV using airplay mirroring, not a function of the remote.  An apple tv will be able to mirror an Mac's display with eligible macs running Mountain Lion. 
    The remote app and "mirroring" are seperate things.

  • Does the Apple Radio Remote work after the update?

    Anyone try it after the update? I know it didn't work before...
    And a side question, since there doesn't seem to be anywhere to ask...are the support forums (especially logging in) constantly crashing Safari (Mac version, desktop) for you?

    The Apple Radio Remote I am assuming you mean the one linked below
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/accessories.html
    It would be the accessory attached to a ipod.
    IF this is the accessory your referring too. Then please note that the compatible devices that it works with is only ipods and not the iphone. Check the link below for yourself.
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B9E C42BD&nplm=MA070G/C
    If you wish to have this accessory available for the iphone then leave feedback below
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    And no logging into the forums is quirky but it does not affect my safari especially not crashing.
