Help remote wont pair with apple tv!

I have the newest apple tv. I recently lost the remote and purchased a new one. I tried pairing the new one and it blinks 3 times the stops. Then it starts to blink non stop. what am i doing wrong?

Unpair the old one first - by holding menu and left arrow for 6 secs on the new one.
Do you need to pair? Do you have other Apple devices in the room?

  • How can I pair with Apple TV without going to set up on Apple TV?

    How can I pair with Apple TV without going to set up on Apple TV?

    Sign up for what? All you need is airplay enabled on ATV, then when iPad is on the same network you double tap home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will bring up the volume/brightness controls, along with airplay. Tap on airplay (rectangle with triangle in it) and select ATV, toggle ON mirroring.
    The only way to mirror the iPad is wirelessly through ATV or by purchasing the adapter and connecting directly to your TV. Bluetooth via your Blu-Ray player won't help with this.

  • My iPad 4 wont pair with my iPhone 5.  Why?

    My iPad 4 wont pair with my iPhone 5.  Why?

    What are you trying to do? If you are trying to use your
    iPhone to provide internet access for your iPad, does your
    wireless provider offer internet tethering and is your account
    provisioned for it?
    If you are trying to connect using bluetooth, this is not a feature of
    iphone, iPad or iOS, never has been.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers,
    handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards,
    some peer-to-peer apps from the app store and internet
    tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.

  • IMac (Mountain Lion) does not pair with Apple Remote

    Hi,
    my iMac (2009, Mountain Lion) does pair with my remote. Otherwise the remote (or remotes, I tried two) are working fine with the iMac, it just wont pair.
    I need it to pair as I have an iMac and MPB and each having its own remote (each computer should react only to its remote, not the other computer remote)
    I googled this extensively, here is what I did so far:
    - obviously, trying the normail "pair remote" procedure as the support page says
    - checking that infrared remote pairing is enabled and no other remote is currenly paired
    - restarting Mac OS
    - removing and reinsterting battery in remote
    - making sure I am an Admin
    - disabling the remote function in Plex and killing all Plex (and EyeTV and similar) processes via Activity Monitor (thought they might somehow limite the OS control over the remote)
    - tried the same with another remote (does not pair as well)
    This is very annoying.
    Can anyone help out?
    Much appreciated

    Hi den,
    Does the remote remember which computer it is paired to? I though only the computer remebers that.
    In any case, currently there is not remote paired to any computer (both computers have clean new Mountain Lion installations). And I cannot pair any remote to any of my machines. In between, I tried with the laptop as well, and it is not pairing as well. I also tried an (old, still working) third remote... nothing is happening.
    Some apps seem to take control of the remote (e.g. pressing menu start Plex on my systems). Could that be the issue? Is there a Terminal command to give Mac OS back full control over the remote?
    Or could it be something else? 'Is there an app for that' a la ForcePair.app?
    Thank you
    p.s. this is the page that I was refering to ealier, not working for me

  • Why my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007) wont pair with my Imac mid 2011 (MacOS 10.7.4)?

    Hi there and thanks in advance for the support.
    Now we have an apple wireless keyboard 2007 and an Imac mid 2011 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 that won't connect. We had the keyboard the IMac brought but now it's lost and we need to get our old wireless keyboard to work with it.
    It's discoverable (we know this because it blinks and appears on the devices list on the BT setup assistant) but it wont pair or even give us the "enter the passcode" to try. We tried the "do not use a passcode with this device" and then the following comes out "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported."
    What can we do? It sounds like you guys in apple development didn't create this connecting option. Is it true?
    Buying a new one is no option nor for our pockets neither our moral. Please let us know about solutions.
    Gracias

    Might be corrupted Bluetooth preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy and paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash
    Make sure the keyboard has fresh batteries then try pairing the keyboard.
    If that didn't help, update your Mac's software to v10.7.5. Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed, then try pairing again.

  • HELP can't pair with bluetooth keyboard?!!!

    I have a G5 and OSX 10.4.11 and a wireless older bluetooth apple keyboard that wont pair!!
    I have rebooted and rescaned and its seen but when it gets to the passcode it just then prints up the numbers and hangs!!! saying that even thoiugh it was seen it "pairing was unsucessful"!
    I have rebooted and turned on the keyboard ! help!!!
    When i did get the screen to type the code in, the keyboard wouldnt respond!!!!!
    HELP!

    had same problem - Bluetooth Gone. I had unending pinwheel and had to force shut-down the laptop. After restart the Bluetooth was gone as was the ICON for Bluetooth on the System Preference and Utilities screens.
    I have read all of the solutions listed included resetting PROM (holding option + command + P + R down when you turn the unit on) BUT I just got off the phone with Apple and the following fixed this for me:
    1) Shut down laptop and bluetooth device (keyboard for me).
    2) Disconnect power and Remove battery (aluminum version you lift the tab on underside and remove panel - then (with tab still up) pull the battery out with plastic pull - make sure the tab on bottom has not gone closed as it locks the battery in place even with cover off)
    3) With no power and no battery - turn unit over and press the start button for at least 5 seconds)
    4) Replace battery and plug laptop power back in.
    5) Start laptop and bluetooth device.
    At this point my icon was back and the device paired immediately with the MacBook. The Support tech says it is not an OS issue (we did not discuss Snow Leopard in particular.)
    This procedure is called an SCM Reset and is good when you have hardware related failures like a missing (or false "hardware not found") issues like this missing Bluetooth Module issue.

  • Remote not working with Apple TV

    My Apple remote stopped working with my Apple TV the other day. The light on the Apple TV does flash as buttons are pressed, but nothing happens. I tried to pair the Apple remote, nothing. I tried to pair my Macbook remote, nothing. I have even pulled the plug a let it sit for a day before plugging it back in. I have recently upgraded to iTunes 7.3.
    Thanks

    What does it do when you connect it back up and turn it on, what screen do you get etc.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

    Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
    Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
    Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
    Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
    I am running Snow leopard.
    I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
    I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
    Thanks

    Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
    The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
    Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
    What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
    I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1551 Atv3 doesnt want to finish installing update although ive tried several times, now the remote wont work with it either and when I press the remote the light on the box flashes several times, I unplugged everything but nothing works and I cant reset

    my Atv3 is due for an update and ive tried several times to install it but although it downloads it never finishes installing and tells me that it wasnt possible to update and to try another time. I try every other day and it only inches forward in the progress but it never completes the installation. I was tired of waiting and I decided to keep on trying in a period of time one night until it would finally install, that never happened and Im not sure what is going on but the remote stopped working with the atv3 and when I press a button the box light flashes several times but does nothing, ive disconnected it and left it that way for over 24 hrs, ive disconnected everything (tv, internet etc) and nothing. I cant reset the atv3 through the remote either...i dont know what else to do

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • IPad 2 does not find or pair with Apple bluetooth keyboard - waiting -

    When I turn bluetooth on on the iPad 2 it keeps searching with the words 'Searching' and 'Now Discoverable' as it searches. the A1314 keyboard is on and is the same keyboard I use for my MacBook Pro, which it pairs perfectly with. The iPad simply never stops searching and never connects or offers connection. The keyboard is turned on and batteries are good and also it works every day with the MacBook Pro.
    Any ideas for a solution?
    TIA,
    Ken

    According to the keyboards user guide, the keyboard is discoverable when the indicator light is flashing. Are you trying to pair the two while both are discoverable?
    Try resetting the iPad before trying to pair with the BT keyboard. Press and hold simultaneously the Home and Power buttons for 10+ seconds, ignoring the power off slider, until the Apple logo appears.
    Dah•veed
    I did all of that but not sure that any of it did as much as simply turning off the computer to make sure that the keyboard was not being used by it. I now find that I could have turned off the bluetooth on the computer or made the keyboard 'unselected' by bluetooth to allow the keyboard to be free to be selected and paired by the iPad.
    Thanks for you help on this.

  • Bluetooth keyboard no pairing with apple tv

    how to use apple tv with bluetooth keyboard.
    mine will not pair or discover. I know it works because I am using it on my iPAD.

    Hello SKBright,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Apple TV: Using the Apple Wireless Keyboard
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5633
    Troubleshooting your keyboard
    If you are unable to see your keyboard when you attempt to pair it with Apple TV, check that your keyboard is:
    Powered on and in range of your Apple TV
    Set for discovery or pairing
    A blinking LED indicates that the Apple Wireless Keyboard is in the discoverable mode. If you don't pair your keyboard with your Mac within three minutes, the indicator light and keyboard will turn off to preserve battery life. If this happens, press the On/Off switch to turn your keyboard on again.
    When using third-party devices, check with the keyboard manufacturer for additional information.
    Not paired or connected to another device
    If your keyboard responds intermittently or cannot maintain a connection:
    Ensure that the keyboard has sufficient charge or fresh batteries
    Check for nearby sources of interference, including other wireless devices, Bluetooth transmitters, and so on
    Try unpairing and then repairing your keyboard with Apple TV
    Best of luck,
    Mario
