How to pair a new remote for Apple TV First Gen Without the Old Remote?
We bought the first generation apple tv when it first came out. When we got it, it came with the old small plastic remote. A few years back we lost the plastic remote and decided to one of the new metal remotes but 1 problem. We can pair the new remote with the old apple tv without the old remote.
If anyone knows a work around to this problem... that would be great. Thanks.
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.

By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?
Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared. -
IPad as remote for Apple TV First Gen
After installing the "Remote" app on my iPad 2, the instructions then direct you to "turn on Home Sharing on your apple tv." There is no such option on my apple tv settings.
Am I even able to control my old apple tv with an iPad?
Please advise.Ok thanks, that worked.
But you have to do in order, otherwise apple tv will not show iPad as an option to add.
1. Install Remote app on iPad
2. On Remote app, go to Settings (gear icon) and "add library". A 4-number code will be displayed that you will use in step 3
3. In Apple TV menu, go Settings - General - Remotes. You should see your iPad listed. Select yout iPad on menu, then enter 4-number code that is displayed on iPad.
note: if you try to perform step 3 before step 2, the apple tv will not recognize the iPad, and you'll get really frustrated. -
How do I get a new email for Apple ID? Forgot password to old email linked to ID :(
I created my first iTunes account when I was in middle school (very long ago). I of course used my email from those days to create my ID. I continued to use my iTunes even when I got a new email, so I remembered my Apple ID password, but have since forgotten the password to my email that is attached to the Apple account. I would like to create an iCloud account, but I must have access to my email to register..which I don't. I have not used that email in years, and would like to switch my account over to my present email address so that I can create an iCloud account to download my music onto! Please help!!
Have a look here and also search for other contributions on the topic which is well discussed here.

Even if I try to 'screen shot' just the attachment, the view won't move down as I enlarge the 'screen shot' to get all of the attachment. Previously, I could "SAVE" the attachment and only the attachment would be saved. Now the whole email page including the address info from the top is saved, so when I try to print what should be an 8.5x11 attachment the bottom of it won't print because the top 2" include the email address info.
Suggestions?That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it... -

How to config a new remote on apple tv (first generation). I have lost my remote which came with the apple tv.
Do you mean you've replaced your remote and it wont work because your AppleTV is paired to your lost remote?
If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1555 has you covered. -
My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it. My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!
You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Apple Introduces New Apple TV Software & Lowers Price to $229
Rent High Definition Movies Directly from Your Widescreen TV
MACWORLD SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today unveiled all new software for Apple TV(R) that allows movie fans to rent movies on the iTunes(R) Store directly from their widescreen TV, and lowered the price of Apple TV to just $229. With iTunes Movie Rentals and Apple TV, users can just click a button on their remote to effortlessly rent movies from a catalog of over 1,000 titles by the end of February, including over 100 titles in stunning high definition video with 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, with no computer required. DVD-quality iTunes Movie Rentals are $2.99 for library titles and $3.99 for new releases, and high definition versions are just one dollar more with library titles at $3.99 and new releases at $4.99. Apple will provide the new Apple TV software free of charge to existing Apple TV owners when it releases the new Apple TV priced at $229 in about two weeks.
"With the new Apple TV and iTunes Movie Rentals, movie lovers can rent DVD-quality or stunning HD movies from their couch with just a click of a button," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "No more driving to the video store or waiting for DVDs to arrive in the mail."
iTunes Movie Rentals feature iTunes' legendary ease of use, which makes discovering and enjoying movie rentals as simple and easy as buying music on iTunes. Once a movie is rented, it starts downloading from the iTunes Store directly to Apple TV, and users with a fast Internet connection can start viewing the movie in seconds. Customers have up to 30 days to start watching it, and once a movie has been started customers have 24 hours to finish it -- or watch it multiple times.
With Apple TV, users can also view photos from their computers, Flickr and .Mac Web Galleries on their widescreen TV as slideshows or screen savers, and anytime photos are updated on Flickr or .Mac, they are automatically updated on Apple TV. Apple TV users can now browse and enjoy the iTunes Store podcast directory of over 125,000 video and audio podcasts, view over 50 million originally created videos from YouTube or choose from a selection of six million songs, over 600 TV shows and 10,000 music videos to purchase directly from their Apple TV. Purchases downloaded to Apple TV are automatically synced back to iTunes on the user's computer for enjoyment on their computer, all current generation iPods* or iPhone(TM).
Apple TV easily connects to a broad range of widescreen TVs and home theater systems and comes standard with HDMI, component video, analog and optical audio ports. Using high-speed AirPort(R) 802.11 wireless networking, Apple TV now automatically plays all of your iTunes content without setup or management**.
Pricing & Availability
The new Apple TV software will be available as a free automatic download to all Apple TV customers later this month. Apple TV, which includes the Apple Remote, is available from the Apple Store(R) (http://www.apple.com), Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $229 (US) for the 40GB model and $329 (US) for the 160GB model (US and Canada). Apple TV requires an 802.11g/n wireless network or 10/100 Base-T Ethernet networking, a broadband Internet connection and a high definition widescreen TV. iPod(R) games will not play on Apple TV. iTunes Movie Rentals are available in the US only.
*Movie rentals work on iPod classic, iPod nano with video and iPod touch.
**Compatible with 802.11b/g/n. Based on an IEEE 802.11n draft
specification. Wireless video streaming requires an 802.11g/n network.Yup, updated my Apple TV and got sky news and a couple of other new apps I will never use. I am growing increasingly fed up with looking at all the good stuff there is on offer in America and nothing in the UK..... I know I shouldn't look :)
And it's not just Apple I suppose, checking out the apple and Microsoft US movie stores and they have a much better selection. Wish we all had the willpower to stop giving these companies money until they fulfil customer needs...
Ok rant over, I've been building up to that since I found all the films I love on the US site and can't get them here :( -

I'd like to know how can i connect my old iMac tiger with new one iMac lion. I wanna use the old one for external disk to collect files from there to new one.
Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

How to create a new template for pages in iPad?
How to create a new template for pages in iPad?
In spite of the latest updates Pages for iPad does not support:
1) User templates
2) Headers
3) Footers
4) Page numbers
and it is not compatible with Pages for OSX, a document cannot be edited alternatively on Mac and iPad without destroying headers and footers.
- The Word export is far from perfect
- Does not really support Page Layout mode (you cannot duplicate a page at least)
- Does not have a multi-page overview
- The spelling support of iOS and OSX is at the level of Apple Maps except 4-5 languages.
- It takes a long time until it starts
INSTEAD, according to the latest updates:
- It can do change tracking
- Lock and unlock objects
- Add reflections to shapes
Dear Apple, please understand:
- We like iPad and we wish to use it for real work.
- We wish to have user templates, headers, footers and page numbers.
- We do not expect all the features of Pages for OSX, but we do expect real compatibility.
- We do not wish to switch back to Word for Windows unless you force us.
Please try to concentrate on real development not on unimportant changes like in the latest dissapointing update.
