HT1555 Apple TV (3rd Gen) Pairing issue

I have long since lost the original Apple TV remote that came in the box and finally got around to buying a new one. I attempted to read the instructions, but the instructions aren't clear or easy to read- everything is made short and sweet but doesn't provide the key points I need. How do I pair the new remote to the Apple TV when it's off and there is no access to the original remote?
Someone help.

That is literally what the instructions said and it isn't doing jack squat... I don't have the gas money to get to an apple store to have someone there work on it themselves. I wish there was something as symple as the "Sync" button but, everyone has to make it more complicated, don't they? 
Need I remind you the Apple TV it's self isn't even on- there's no way to turn it on without the remote.

  • HT1600 Apple TV 3rd Gen Netflix issues

    We have recently purchased an apple TV 3rd gen and Netflix worked for about a week and has not since.  All updates are in.... can anyone suggest what needs to be done?  We bought it for Netflix and not any better than the WD or Boxee we tried....so far.

    Just found this:
    http://m.techcrunch.com/2013/09/22/apple-tv-6-0-update-pulled-after-users-report -bricking-other-issues/
    I will consider myself lucky that it didn't update yet. I will just wait patiently till the bugs are worked out.

  • Apple TV 3rd Gen no longer sees Airport Express 1st gen in Airplay after update

    Apple TV 3rd gen was connected to AirPort Express 1st gen via WiFi, drove a video device via HDMI
    and sent audio to the AirPort using Airplay and selecting the AirPort Express under Speakers.
    I could adjust the volume with the AppleTV remote.
    Apple TV was stored unused for a while.
    After powering on yesterday, I ran the update.
    Now Apple TV is connected to the Airport Express via WiFi
    but Airport Express doesn't show in AirPlay settings.
    I can still use AirPlay from my MacBook running Snow Leopard.
    There are no updates available for the AirPort

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

  • When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frames every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
    Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
    Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

  • Apple TV (3rd gen) won't turn on...please help

    My Apple TV (3rd gen) won't connect to my TV. It blinks 3 times, so i tried to reset it, but nothing happened. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem. Thanks.

    Can someone please help me? My apple tv (3rd gen) continues to blink 3 times and won't respond. I've tried doing different things that I've read through the manuel & forms: (1) holding down menu and FF for 6 seconds to pair the remote (2) unplugging the apple tv and waiting 30 seconds
    After apple tv was unplugged, it looked fine when it turned back on...but, once again the same problem remains and my apple tv remote will not work.
    Hopefully, someone can help me solve this problem.
    Thanks.

  • Weird problem with the apple tv (3rd gen) playing choppy iTunes Music

    I have a weird problem with the apple tv(3rd gen) when i use my macbook pro to play itunes music via airplay the music is extremely choppy however that only happens if I have both my mac and apple tv connected to the same 5 ghz band on my dual band wifi network if i switch either one of my mac or apple tv to the 2.4 ghz band it works fine. I would like to find a solution instead of having to do this work around because i prefer my 5 ghz band for both my mac and apple tv and have my other things connected to my 2.4 ghz.

    5 GHz, so far as I'm aware transfers no more data than 2.4 Ghz. There are other things involved that might help data through volume such as the wifi standard or dual width channels, but essentially if you compare like for like they are they same for the amount of data they can send. The main advantage of 5GHz is that it's less susceptible to interference and potentially more private.
    It's possible that you have different issues on each band, I couldn't say at this time but have you checked for interference.

  • 2014 Macbook Pro Retina crashes when extending display to Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hello Freytag,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was getting recurring kernel panics when using an external display. 
    First, I recommend troubleshooting the connection with the external display.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the article below.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but the following steps specifically stands out to me for the situation you are experiencing:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    You can find the full article here:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    If you continue expereince kernel panics, I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting a recurring kernel panic" in the article below to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue:

  • Netflix Streaming Nightmare on Apple TV 3rd Gen.

    Hello all,
        Within these forums I have yet to see my specific problem regarding netflix, so I am turning to you for help.  -
    Recently I switched out my Roku XS (Very happy with the performance of this streaming unit) for the Apple TV 3rd Gen. in the master bedroom--Roku XS went to guest room.  After having had no problems with streaming content in HD over WiFi to my Roku, I began to notice that Netflix would simply stop playing after roughly 4 minutes and stop playback.  I had not lost connectivity, there was no buffering prompt, and the Netflix app would not resume playback- It simply dropped out to the movie menu.  Reinitiating the movie would start it from the beginning.  Hulu plus does not share the problem, nor does Itunes playback.  So, this is a netflix specific problem and I refuse to acknowledge any issues pertaining to my wifi because speed tests, and the previous box, show that it is VERY strong (also holds full signal as shown on the Apple tv settings).  Has anyone found a fix for this particular problem yet?  I am open to all suggestions, but leave any preconceived notions of me being tech ignorant out, I'm not. 
    **I have made sure that the settings are correct on my netflx account.

    Robert
    I have HDMI to TV and OA to sound bar, both play audio fine and the sound bar works independent of the TV, i.e when it is off, likewise I can play audio on the TV speakers when the bar is off.  Mine is 2 Gen ATV but that has not changed with 3rd gen.  So yes your plan should work OK.

  • Cannot Restore Apple TV (3rd Gen)

    My problem began when I ran into the notorious problem of the Apple TV (3rd Gen) crashing after auto-installing the latest update. Specifically, ever since the update, it will only boot to the Apple logo. Rebooting simply returns it to the logo. I figured I might've been impatient, so I let it sit for a long while, only to come back maybe an hour later to find it still frozen on the logo.
    So I tried to restore it to factory settings via iTunes, but this has led to my current problem -- Neither my PC (Win 7) nor iTunes will recognize the device.  I followed the standard 3rd gen method of connecting: Connect via micro USB (data cable, not charge cable), connect power. It fails to appear in iTunes, device diagnostics show no devices connected, and Windows doesn't appear to even acknowledge its connection.  I've tried unplugging and replugging power and USB multiple times in different orders with no change in results. (Hilariously, for one brief moment, it did show up in iTunes -- as my iPhone!?)
    I can verify power is working as I can see the optical port lit red when connected.
    I seem to have hit a brick wall, and I'm almost certain this is a software problem (as opposed to bad hardware) given it crashed immediately after the update.
    This is the USB cable I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWPENRU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there
