  • How do I use an apple tv remote to control my mac

    I am having a macbook pro with retina. How do I use an apple tv remote to control my mac?Is there a way. For eg. if I want to control the volume using the remote how do I do?

    No, the iPad has no IR receiver. (I think you mean "Airplay" and not "Airdrop", by the way.)

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
    If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
    To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

  • 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.

  • HT4436 how to login Icloud with apple ID on windows 7

    how to login Icloud with apple ID on windows 7

    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

    Must be a verified email address.

    I notice that it's possible to have sticky posts in these forums. See

    the Concurrency forum for an example. Posting a link to the FAQ in a sticky post might reduce the number of FAQs asked here by maybe 1%? Or posts like this one might do well as a sticky?

    JJ

    As I was saying earlier that is not possible because the Apple TV has no accessible storage and streaming from your iMac is done via home sharing on your local network.
    iTunes purchases can be accessed via the cloud on Apple TV. If you have iTunes Match you can access your full music libary from the cloud.
    Using the iPad to watch your films would require syncing them and then connecting the iPad to a TV.

  • How can I show menu on tv with apple tv remote

    I have my ATV onnected with a HDMI cable from my Apple TV to a HDMI input on my A/V Receiver.
    Then I use HDMI out on the A/V Receiver to connect to my HDTV with another HDMI cable.
    This has always worked just fine for me and still does,  just lately though I needed to check out the menu on my ATV which will be the first time since I set up my system.
    I have my system set up on a Universal Logitech Remote which is also working just fine for me.
    My problem is that I can't figure out how I can get the ATV menu to show up on my tv so that I can edit it.
    I've tried turning on the tv manually but when I do I get live tv playing and clicking on the ATV remote menu does not over-ride the live tv picture.
    Also tried turning on my Tivo with my universal remote but that also opens up the tv with a picture which the ATV remote can not over -ride
    Am I missing something obvious here or is my setup preventing me from seeing the menu.
    Thanks

    The correct answer is only with a limited number of apps, you cannot share the iPad screen, unfortunately. YouTube, iPhoto. I am very disappointed keynote presentations are not supported.

  • 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!
    James Wright

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

    There are several threads that address this issue.  Apparently there's an option to turn off infrared remotes in Security Preferences - but not for my MacBook Air.  Try this thread:
