Can you set up Remote app to Apple TV without original Apple TV remote?

I lost my Apple TV remote, so I tried looking up other ways to control my Apple TV. I found the Apple Remote app, but I can't get it to work. The setup information I found indicates that you have to turn on home sharing on the Apple TV, but that can't be done without a remote. Obviously I don't have a remote right now, so I'm trying to find out if there's another way to get my Remote app to work on my Apple TV without the original remote. Can anyone help?

Can be done. All you need is your iPhone/ Ipad.

Use a supported iOS device with iOS 7 or later.
Note: iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are not supported.
Verify that your iPhone is unlocked and that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on.If the issue persists, press the Sleep/Wake button to lock your iOS device, then press the Home button and slide to unlock and try again.
While configuring your Apple TV, keep your iOS device within 10 to 15 feet of your Apple TV until the configuration process completes.If you go out of range or the setup doesn't complete, restart your Apple TV by unplugging it from power for a few seconds and then reconnecting it.
If you are still unable to set up your Apple TV with your iOS device, you can set up your Apple TV with the included remote instead.

    An example site is Google Spreadsheets.

  • Can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

    Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

    hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
    hope this helps!!
    let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
    simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time. 

  • Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone)

    Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone) so that person can find their iPad coz the police would of taken mine if I did not show proof of purchase

    You are not communicating with Apple by posting here. Everyone here is just a fellow user and cannot fix anything.
    The Find My iPad service may have indeed been accurate to the limits of the technology. Unless the iPad was a 3G unit, location is determined based on the nearest WiFi router which in your case could just happened to have been yours. The police may be the ones who need to "fix" their understanding of how the technology works and its limitations.
    If you want to provide feedback to Apple on the matter, you can do so via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    but to be of any good you'll have to provide them with more precise details.

  • Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?

    Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?  Doesn't appear to be a property.  I don't see a programmatic method.  I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person
    doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    >>Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?
    I am afraid you could not. In Web applications, the tab order is set automatically and cannot be changed.
    (From
    https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Set-the-tab-order-for-controls-3d7f749c-5a53-42b2-bb0e-2323fa044e2e)
    >> I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    The goto method is a workaround, but it should be triggered by a specific event. What I can figure out is changing the order of the fields.
    If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Access Web app, please submit a feedback as the picture below:

    sure the appletvs just access the shared iTunes lib on the computer thats all
    it been a thing for ages before Apple TV came out where computers on the same network could also access each others shared iTunes lib
    Apple TV does the same thing only problem could be if the network is not fast enough to transfer 2 streams of data at once

    QuickTime is AppleScript aware and has its own "dictionary". Many scripts and droplets have already been compiled and you can download them from this link:
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
    Some need further editing to update them to version 7 features but it's not difficult using the Script Editor app.
    Tiger's new Automator app could also be used but its feature set is rather basic. Newer actions are available for download from the Mac OSX Downloads page.

  • Can you set Face time to prompt for password on use?

    Can you set Facetime to require password each time you go into the app?
    Regards,
    Buc

    No. you cannot set a password for individual Apps unless said App has that feature. Apple Apps like FaceTime do not.
    .  You can however use Restrictions to disable Facetime, and only enable it when you want to use it, by going back into restrictions and enabling it.
    Settings->Restrictions->Facetime (Turn Off)
    You'll need to enter the set password to enable / disable it each time.

  • HT1677 Where can you set default in Safari to view as web page instead of Mobile Version?

    Where can you set the default setting in Safari to open page as web page instead of Mobile Version on iPad running iOS6.01?

    And, to make it even more fun, sometimes a website changes how it deals with Safari Mobile. A website that treated it like a desktop browser suddenly starts treating it like a cell phone. Just to mess with you. Or push an app.
    Best of luck.

    I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

    It should unzip if you double-cick.
    What are you seeing happen when you do that?
    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.
