HT1555 My aluminum Apple TV remote no longer will operate my Apple TV.

Is there a way to resent and/or trouble shoot the remote?

Depending how how it's "no longer operating". You can try to unpair then repair the remote with the Apple TV
HT1619 . Try changing the batteries for the remote.

  • I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open?  Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

  • Apple TV remote no longer working, unpairing is giving me resolution screen, lost Remote app control as well.

    I've been trying to sort this out for a while; somehow my Apple TV is no longer homesharing with the rest of my network.  I had hoped to use my apple TV remote to re-activate the Remote Apps I have on my iPod, but the remote isn't responding.  I've tried unpairing, but if I press menu-rewind for six seconds, it sends me to the resolution screen instead, and the white light flashes repeatedly - I can't get the remote to accept the resolution settings, or get the cursor to even so much as move.  Extremely frustrating as I've been unable to make this work for a week and I don't drive (I'm disabled and housebound) so just popping into a shop somewhere to get it fixed is a slim-to-none chance of possibility.
    I really hope there's a better solution!

    all apple remotes work out of the box
    borrow the remote from the neighbors kid Eric that he got with his appletv or imac or macbook or the likes it works
    or buy a new remote it works
    borrow Erics remote and use it to setup remote app on an ios device that works too

  • My daughter and I listen to the same music with few exceptions. We currently are under my apple id if she gets her own apple id she no longer will be able to hook up to mine?

    I am trying to figure out if I give her her own apple id does that mean we have to purchase the same songs in itunes so that she can have access to them? I mean, it seems silly since if I buy the songs, I should be able to share with my family. It is for everyones use but if I give her her own apple ID so she can buy her own music with her own password then that whole sharing thing is off? I don't want to give her full access to my account password... She is only 11. I don't want her to go on a shopping spree LOL! So how can I give her the freedom to download free apps etc but yet share the purchased items I have already? Will this icloud help with that. Can I share my music with someone else with a different apple ID? Help. Extremely confused. Thanks.

    You can create a new account without giving credit card details by following the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    And she can then use that account for free items. If she redownloads an item on her iPad (and similarly on your Mac) from an account (either your existing account or a new one) then she may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days (so she won't be able to redownload items from the other account until those 90 days have completed) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Also all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only your account will be able to download updates to the apps that were bought/downloaded by your account.
    The apps will only automatically download on your phone if you have automatic downloads turned on in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it.

  • How long will a local Apple Store keep an Ipad Air ordered online for me

    Hi,
    I may want to order a 64gb Ipad Air online during Black Friday and pick it up in a NYC local store when I get there on dec 28th.
    I'm actually in Europe and will not be in the US before the end of december.
    This means holding the item for me for about a month.
    Is this possible since it is already paid for ?
    Or is there a limited time to come to get the item ?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Marc

    I would call them and ask. No one here will know exactly what they'll do since this is a user to user forum.

  • Multiple Apple Remotes no longer work with Apple TV!

    I've been using Apple TVs since the minute Steve Jobs introduced them in 2007. I bought the 2nd and 3rd Generation Apple TVs the minute each of them were introduced. I've been watching every Apple Keynote Address since they were available online or on CDs from the early 1990s, on my HDTV via my latest Apple TV when that was possible. I watch far more TV through my Apple TV than via my Cable Box, much of it music and music videos from iTunes on my 2006 Mac Pro! But as of YESTERDAY I am seriously thinking of getting another, ANY OTHER manufacturer's similar internet streaming box!!!
    WHY??? Because YESTERDAY, for no apparent reason except some programmer's or software engineer's stupidity, my Apple TV stopped working with all but ONE of my Apple REMOTES!!!
    Why is that stupid? Because, in my household there are three people who use Apple TV all day, and each of them have an aluminum Apple Remote which they all use to control what the Apple TV is streaming. We have two other Apple Remotes lying around in case one of us misplaces his or her Apple Remote, which happens occasionally. ALL FIVE of the Apple Remotes, just like the beige plastic Apple Remotes that they replaced, always worked with all three of my Apple TVs! Then yesterday, suddenly, only the LAST Apple Remote that was paired with this 3rd Generation Apple TV is able to control it.
    I've spent HOURS trying to fix this. This wasn't caused by an Automatic Update to the Apple TV's iOS; there has been no update in recent days. I've got Automatic Update turned on, just as I, a good Apple citizen, have my Apple TV set up to automatically send back Usage Data to Apple. I've rebooted my Apple TV. I've put brand new 2032 button batteries into my Apple Remotes. I pulled the power cord out of my Apple TV for 15 seconds and again for five minutes and then restarted it. As per instructions, I have Unpaired and re-Paired each and all of my 5 Apple Remotes. All to no avail. Only the last Apple Remote that was paired with the Apple TV works! Horrible. And STUPID, if it was a deliberate programming decision and it was introduced in a minor automatic update.
    Worse, I've been using the Remote app on my 5th Generation iPod touch to replace ONE of the unusable Apple Remotes, and as of a couple of minutes ago even THAT stopped working with my Apple TV! Well, I was able to fix that fairly easily by pairing the iPod touch Remote app with my Mac Pro and then pairing it again with my Apple TV. But I don't think that solution would be so easy for many non-technologically-inclined users. I also don't think that a $200 or $300 iPod touch is a very acceptable replacement for a $20 Apple Remote, especially since everyone buys iPod touches for totally different uses (I use mine primarily for taking notes using voice-activated audio or video -- it is by far the best device for that purpose out there -- police departments should take note).
    I'm hoping that this multiple Apple Remote problem somehow resolves itself, unless it is a hardware problem with my Apple TV. If so, I can hold out until Apple's media event next week, which I HOPE will premiere a new 4th Generation Apple TV, hopefully which will once again allow my five Apple Remotes to all control my Apple TV interdependently, without having to Unpair and Pair each one each time you wanted to use it, requiring you to quit whichever Apple TV app you were using each time, or alternatively to use Sneaker-Net to deliver the one working Apple Remote to each person who wants to use it, which can be difficult since at least one of the users is very ill! (Whew! A long sentence. But I hope you get the point.)
    Two days ago, I could never have imagined myself getting a Roku or an Amazon, Sony, Microsoft or some other streaming device. It just proves how fast a stupid little decision (if it was deliberate) can turn EVERYTHING around!

    People have a misconception with remote pairing (as does the description on this page -> Pairing your Apple Remote with your computer - Apple Support).
    The 1st paragraph is incorrect.
    The 2nd paragraph is correct.
    "If you have several Mac computers or an Apple TV that use the Apple remote, or other devices with integrated infrared ("IR") receivers in one room, you can "pair" your Apple Remote with a specific Apple device so it doesn't interfere with other Apple devices or IR devices nearby.
    Pairing allows you to set the receiving Apple device so that only it can be controlled by one remote. Learn how to pair your Apple Remote"
    Pairing sets the device to read only a specific remote.
    It does not set a specific remote to work only with a specific device. ie. if you point th remote at another Apple device (that is not paired) it will control it.

  • Apple Remotes no longer magnetic?

    I was under the impression that the Apple Remote was magnetic so that it could be stored neatly on the side of your computer. However this is not the case with my newly purchased iMac and a friend down the road also has noted this. Are Apple Remotes no longer magnetic or should we report this as a fault?

    Well maybe I'm the dumb one here.
    Perhaps the magnet was in the old iMacs cases and the remote had a some magnetic material inside. I don't know I'm just guessing here. With the change to Aluminum cases perhaps they changed and just didn't let us know. I remember when I got my machine I was a little disappointed my remote wasn't magnetic because I like keeping my desk neat. The remote now sits on the pedestal stand, not at aesthetic but it works.

  • Apple remote no longer works under 10.6.2 on Mac Mini

    Have just updated my Mac Mini to 10.6.2, only to find that it no longer recognises the white Apple remote at all. I have tried both a paired remote and an unpaired remote. I have even tried pairing the unpaired remote. Nothing works. The Mini simply does not recognise it.
    This is really annoying as the Mac Mini is used as a media centre, and the remote is therefore used all the time through Front Row.
    Anyone else got this problem and, if so, is there a solution? Thank you so much.

    Candelair sadly didn't survive a restart on the Mac Mini, so I am back to not having any use of the Apple Remote whatsoever. Candelair had also caused some sound problems - the sound kept increasing and then decreasing.
    I am not sure what Apple added into the mix with 10.6.2 but it is a real pain! When you use a Mac Mini as a media centre, you need the use of a remote. And no sound problems.
    I am going to have to bite the bullet and spend hours today rolling back the Mini to 10.6 and then updating to 10.6.1 only if I can. 10.6.1 worked perfectly with the Apple Remote with just the Apple IR software.

  • Apple remote no longer works?!

    Hi everyone,
    I recently replaced the 120 GB hard drive with a 200 GB hard drive, clean install (no disk imaging or time machine). I did it myself having seen it been done before and relatively knowledgeable about computer hardware. I grounded myself and was careful to put everything back as I saw it.
    Everything went well EXCEPT *my Apple Remote no longer works*. The light in the button to open the laptop works fine and my remote works on other computers, but in System Preferences the option to pair the remote doesn't even exist anymore. I understand I probably screwed something up when I opened my laptop up, but I have a few questions first.
    My first question is this: *Is there some sort of software setting/diagnostic that I can run to test the connection to the infrared receiver?*
    My other question is: *Is there anything special I should know about the infrared receiver hardware? Any known issues, typical problems, or things I should check to make sure everything is connected?*
    I've double-checked the connection, the receiver is DEFINITELY connected to the mini-strip (along with the button light).
    Thanks,
    - Keith

    The Hardware Tests (boot from the install DVD and hold d) should show if the receiver isn't working.
    In System Preferences/Security is "Disable remote control infrared receiver" checked by any chance, try checking/un-checking it and see if Pair lights up ? (I don't Pair, I leave it to work with any remote as I have three floating about)

  • Apple remote no longer works with mountain lion

    The apple remote that was quite happily working with Lion no longer seems to be working with mountain lion.
    I've checked with at least 3 other apple remotes I have and none of them seem to want to pair.
    I've been able to pair them with another mac running Lion, but when going to the pair option under;
    Preferences--> Security& Privacy --> General --> Advanced -> Pair
    Pressing the menu and next for more than a minute gives me nothing on any of the remotes.
    Anyone else having issues pairing with mountain lion?
    *Note, each of the remotes quite happily will

    I thought I had a problem pairing my aluminium Apple remote with EyeTV, but all turned out fine.
    When I clicked Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General --> Advanced --> Pair a message told to press the "Menu and Next" buttons until the remote paired with the computer. At first, I assumed this meant that I should press the two black buttons underneath the main, circular control, but nothing happened.
    Then it struck me that the "Next" button might mean the right arrow on the main, circular control, so I held down this while holding the Menu button (the smaller button, below and to the left of the main, circular control), and the remote paired within a few seconds!
    I don't have one of the older, white Apple remote controls to test this idea with, but something similar may also work with that remote.

  • Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app.  Only thing that shows on iP screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.

    Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app as I used to do before the update.  Only thing that shows on iPhone screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.  Sorry if this is not exactly the right place to post this!

    One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
    In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet.  The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
    When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
    If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
    Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing.  Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues.  Purely Home Sharing.

  • Installed iOS 8.1.3 on iPhone 6 and Apple TV Remote App no longer works

    After installing 8.1.3 and rebooting, the Apple TV Remote App stopped working. I can tap to select options, but cannot swipe or gesture to move to other options. Rebooted Apple TV and iPhone 6, no change. No other apps were affected.

    Hi Chris Parich,
    I see that you may be seeing some issues with your ability to connect to the Apple TV through your Remote App. Here is an article with some troubleshooting steps to help you address this:

  • Is there any way to get an older app version of apple tv remote?

    It's been several months since the apple tv remote app was updated to 3.0+.
    Once I updated, I have not been able to control my apple tv (2nd gen).
    I have 2 ipod touch (2nd gen as well) and neither can use the updated app to control our apple tv any more.
    We've had to resort to using the aluminum remote (which we constantly are losing)
    Long story short. Is there any way to get an older version of the app (say 2.4)? I've looked everywhere but everyone links back to itunes (and that only has the latest version). We're also stuck on iOS 4.2 because of hardware. There are a couple of sites out there but it seems that they are not legit as they ask for credit card info.
    Any help is appreciated.

    You can only do so if you downloaded a previous version at some point in the past, and it's still in the iTunes library on your computer. If that version is updated too, maybe the old version is in Trash/Recycling Bin.
