Can I control my Apple TV with a Samsung Smart Touch Remote?

I am trying to control my Apple TV2 with a Samsung 7 series Smart Touch remote. The Samsung universal remote options do not seem to work, nor does the Apple TV apear to be capable of reading inputs from the remote through the Apple TV 3rd party remote setup.

I do not know if anyone else noticed this. I have a Samsung Un55hu7250 and the above solution worked with one exception.
If you add it as a "Home Theater" type system then, you cannot tell the TV to use your actual home theater system for the volume control.
If you instead, On your tv got to system/device manager/Universal remote setup. Then choose blue ray device and type in apple. Select Apple, do the power on test, then select "no it didn't work". Then it will ask you to enter the model number of the Blue Ray device. Type in "Apple" in the search and it will list Both Apple1 and Apple2 in the device list. Select Apple2 and then you will have an Apple TV that is configured as a DVD Player so you can tell the TV to control the volume via the Home Theater system.
Net result, I have one remote again finally with Apple TV, Samsung TV, Dish Hopper, Sony BD, Antenna TV and surround sound. (Only if you are using the optical audio out to the theater system)

  • Can't control "old" Apple TV with HD given to me by a friend.

    I have an new "old" Apple TV with HD given to me by a friend. I have turned it on but cannot control it. When it turn it on all I can see is the menu. I can't move through menu's to connect to my wifi or open movies. Then the screen saver comes up and using the remote doesn't do anything. Will I need to reset the device? I have tried two remotes, both don't do anything. The light on the front is showing yellow.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another 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.

  • How can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    how can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

  • HT1947 There are 5 of us in this house with IPhones and we all want to control the apple tv with our phones.    We all have separate iTunes accounts.   How do we do this?

    I have 3 iPhones in my house and 1 apple tv.
    I do NOT set a password on my apple tv, so any iPhone can send video to the tv.
    Any iPhone can use the apple remote option also.
    Just play a video and click that square with an arrow and play on apple tv. The video comes up from any iPhone in my house.
    Same goes for pics, etc

  • HT4352 can i control my apple tv from my macbook or only from my other devices and the apple remote.

    Just got it and i can control it from everything else including my verizon and sony remotes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can control the Apple TV with the supplied remote, the remote app from the app store on an iOS device and compatible programmable remotes, you can't control it from your computer (except for streaming content to it from iTunes)

  • HT3180 Can I control my apple tv from computer?

    I had to reset my Apple TV.  My remote stopped working months ago, but we have iPhones and have been controlling our Apple TV with our Iphones.  Now that I reset it, I don't have a way to control ApplTV any suggestions?

    You can use the remote app to control via iPhone. Have you setup home-sharing?

  • How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices?

    I just got an ipad mini and I registered it with the same Apple ID I use for my iphone 4s. Everything was fine until I downloaded apps to the ipad and noticed that the ones I had on both devices  no longer opened on my iphone. Why is this? How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices and how can I recover my apps on my iphone?

    I've had an iPad for almost two years. When I purchased an iPhone last fall I set it up to use the same Apple ID as my iPhone. I've had no problems doing this. Try resetting each device and see what happens.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

    Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

    You need an iTunes card.
    You can setup an account without a credit card if that helps.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
    I found this in the iTunes help menu.
    Redeem an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or Gift Card
    If you received an iTunes Store allowance, gift certificate, iTunes Gift Card, or promotional code, you can use it to buy songs, videos, or audiobooks from the iTunes Store.
    You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
    Before redeeming anything, make sure you are signed into the iTunes Store (choose Store > Sign In, or select Sign In from the navigation bar at the top of the iTunes Store window):
    I don't see any mention of App Store cards.

  • HT204088 I can't create an apple ID for not using credit card. How can i create an apple ID with no credit cards ? Thank you.

    I read the supporting article. But those pictures were old. Also the format had changed. I can't create an Apple ID with no credit cards? I got no credit cards. I am just a secondary student and how can I have a credit card?

    Follow the instructions on this page exactly : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 i.e. select a free app and click on 'create Apple ID' when 'buying' it (it worked for me yesterday).
