Can't pair iPhone Remote App in 3.0

After updating to 3.0 I now can't pair my iPhone Remote App with my ATV. I had it paired at one point in the past. Since I've done a factory reset of the ATV and today upgraded to 3.0. The option to even add an iPhone in ATV is greyed out and the option to select ATV on the iPhone is also greyed out.

I am having the same problem in that the iphone does not even show up under the remote section on ATV. I have three ATV units and it does the same thing on all of them. They all were accessible using the remote app in the past. Had no issues previously with pairing the iphone as a remote. Updated remote application just the other day and it still is not working. Anybody have a fix. My network is fine we have tons of devices that use it daily. ATV's are connected through ethernet.

  • ATV can't pair iPhone remote

    Greetings all.
    My iPhone 3GS (4.0.2) used to work fine as a remote for my ATV, but since I was forced to restore my ATV to fix a iTunes sync problem, it doesn't.
    The remote App can see the ATV. When I enter the code into the remote screen on the ATV, it lets me enter the numbers, but when I try to click 'done', the ATV just makes that 'you can't click here' noise.
    The regular ATV remote works fine.
    The ATV is on the same wi-fi network as the phone.
    I have tried the troubleshooting steps in the knowledge base article to no avail.
    Any ideas?

  • Can I pair the 'Remote' app without the original remote?

    A series of ocurrences has led to the need to pair the iPhone's 'Remote' app with my first gen Apple TV without actually having to navigate on the Apple TV using the original remote. Is this even possible? I am willing to do root work using Terminal, etc. N.B. I am on a Clear Wireless network and already have all my data on the Apple TV. Thank you very much for any help you can provide!

    There is no official way to accomplish what you want without a functioning remote (any white Apple remote not necessarily the one it shipped with.   Newer silver remote might work ok too - I'll check).

  • Can't get iPhone Remote App to work

    I'm running iTunes 10.7 on OS-X10.6.8 and trying control using an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0.1. In theory I should be able to link via my AppleID OR by some other passcode authenticated technique. Neither seem to work at all.
    Both seem to be happily talking to iTunes/AppStore and are on the same network.
    Any ideas or recommended threads to look at?

    Problem Solved, Just had to play around with the firewall settings...
    Cheeers !

  • ITunes and iPhone 'Remote' app, only plays one song at a time

    Using iPhone 'Remote' app to control iTunes on Mac. I click on Albums, select an album, select the first track, it plays and then stops and goes back to the albums list. I've tried every conceivable combination of the little icons for Shuffle and track repeat, nothing changes this, it always plays just the track and select and then it's done, it goes back to the tracks list. I've spent hours researching this and cannot get it to work. Thanks for any help.

    Hi, although unchecking tracks is one way to manage what gets put on your device it has other side effects that make it less effective than the use of selected playlists. I generally use unchecking for marking tracks I'd usually want to ignore, such as bonus interview tracks on an album, or podcasts that aren't compatible with my device.
    It is much easier to use playlists rather than check boxes to manage the content. There is no need to make a series of ad hoc playlists however. You'll need two, one of which you can throw away later. Create a new smart playlist with the rules *Playlist is Music* and the option *Match only checked items* ticked. Call it Checked. Now create regular playlist and call it, for example, Sync. Select all the tracks in Checked (cmd-A I think) and drag them into Sync.
    Now you can go to your main music library and cmd-click on an empty checkbox to check all of your tracks so the unchecked behaviour no longer interferes with playback. Change your sync options so that the device syncs with your new playlist. In future you can manage the content by adding and removing things from this list instead of checking and unchecking them.

  • IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

    I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
    I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
    After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
    Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
    Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
    I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
    This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
    I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
    Suggestions ?

    Update:
    Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.
    Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSID's turned off, WMM is enabled.

  • IPhone "Remote" App for Apple TV Has Become Sluggish, Slow to Respond

    (Earlier today I posted this question on the "iPhone" section of this thread but perhaps it's more appropriate here.)
    I've searched this and other forums and have yet to see the issue I'm having addressed. After successfully installing and using the iPhone "Remote" app to control my Apple TV, its performance has become erratic. While selecting and/or swiping actions were instantaneous, they're now delayed, sometimes by four or five seconds. My Apple IR remote still works perfectly. Also, the Remote app on my iPhone works fine on the TV set up in various Apple Stores I've visited. A clue that may be relevant is that my RF Dish receiver remote is a bit slow now, too, although not as bad as the WiFi-driven iPhone Remote app. It seems that something in the room is creating these problems (there are no fluorescent lights) and all worked fine months ago. Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

    ok well it seems unlikely that your issue is with the appletv itself.
    could well be wifi interference.
    any cordless phones or cordless doorbells, or any new cars turned up close by with remote car alarms, or a new microwave (or old one starting to fail) ? all this sort of stuff can kill wifi.

  • Iphone Remote App with Linksys having problems

    Okay I have a Linksys Wirless Router, my Laptop and iphone connect to the linksys via wireless using WPA, the wireless works great, I get my iphone hooked to the wireless network .. check stocks, weather, google around.. all that works !
    I use my Remote App on my iphone and sweet that works too ... connects to my library shows my playlist on itunes .. I can play rewind, skip - everything works .. for about 3 - 4 minutes ...:( I play the songs i want click on skip a couple and boom, within 3-4 minutes my entire wireless network is down !
    my linksys goes into a frenzy ... If i leave the remote app alone .. my linksys would run just fine forever ... 3 - 4 minutes into using my iphone remote app and my wireless networks toast ... anyone here having the same issue ?
    I have a airport express that I plan to use as my default wireless router (replacing my linksys) to see if apples own wirless router has this problem as well ..
    I sure hope not ... will keep posted .. but let me know if anyone is experiencing the same problem and if there is a fix ...

    Hi,
    Since I upgraded the Remote software to version 1.3.3 (4) it seems that when I'm browsing the music Library of my Apple TV, I can click on any artist and or album. So far so good, but after selecting, the tracktitle is shown on top of the screen, but the track is not loaded and cannot be played.
    If I unplug my Apple TV then it works again, but after browsing and changing tracks 1 or 2 times, the bug occurs again.
    Martijn I've read your the post and tried to delete the songs/artists that have the word 'Edit' in it, re-synchronized the apple TV with my iTunes Library, but no luck for me.

  • Iphone remote app and itunes

    All seemed to be going well until - the updates.
    Now my iphone will not recognize my itunes libraries. I deleted the library link from the iPhone remote app and even told itunes to forget all remotes. Back to my iphone to set up as a remote - again. The iphone generates the 4 digit code, itunes even recognizes the iphone, allows me to enter the code, and returns the screen that I can now start using the iphone as a remote. --- Back to the iphone - and the remote app can "find the library" - What gives? Help
    <edited by host>

    Revelation, do you mean complete restore of the iPhone and all contents thereof? Or the Mac?
    I have deleted the application "Remote" from the iPhone, and I have re-installed it. Each time the application will work for a limited time, and then it loses the ability to locate the library.
    I continue to suspect IP addresses as the source of the problem, and wonder if the addresses must be static on both devices in order for them to maintain a connection. However, I find it odd that iTunes can register the presence of the iPhone enough to list it in the "devices" pane (therefore, I assume that the two devices are communicating over my network) but then the iPhone fails to locate the iTunes library.
    Other applications (Briefcase Lite, for example) seem to be able to conduct over-the-network business without difficulty.

  • TS1741 I can't get my remote app to connect my iPad to my Apple TV

    I can't get my remote app to connect my iPad to the Apple TV

    Meanwhile, since Apple does not read these forums, I suggest we all leave comments on their feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    That way they'll at least know a bunch of us are having this issue.
    Hopefully Apple will issue a fix soon.

  • How can I pair iPhone 6  / 8.1 with Audi and Mercedes until 8.1 is fixed?

    How can I pair iPhone 6/8.1 with Audi and Mercedes

    Generally your put the vehicle into discovery mode, turn Bluetooth on for the phone and the two should discover each other. I don't know what you mean about getting 8.1 fixed, as it is working just fine for me in my vehicle. Try going into the phone and removing the car(s) from the phone list. Turn off Bluetooth. Go into Settings>General>Reset Network Settings. Do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple Logo and release. The phone will reboot. Go into the vehicle(s) and remove all reference to the phone from the vehicle list. Turn the car off, then back on. Put the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Turn Bluetooth on for the iPhone. The two should pair after following any additional instructions from the vehicle's user guide, such as entering a PIN code.

    Can I use the "Remote" app to turn the Apple TV on and off?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV doesn't switch on and of, it goes to sleep and wakes up, but yes you can perform these actions using the remote app.
