HT1555 Two remotes - Both still work with Apple TV and MBP despite pairing

I have a MBP (early 2011 13") and Apple TV. Therefore, I paired one remote with my MBP and the other remote with Apple TV. Both parings have been successfull (chain icon) but still both remotes can be used on both devices. How can I resolve this issue? (and no, I don't want to disable the IR on my MBP)
Is it possible that the two remotes have by coincidence the same ID?

I am sure that I have done that correctly. Apple TV and MBP states that a remote has been paired, but still both work on both devices. Is it possible that both remotes have the same ID (by coincidence)?

Remotes will not work with Apple TV

I am so very frustrated with my Apple TV right now. It has worked flawlessly for over a year, using both the Apple TV remote and the Apple remote on my iPhone.
A couple of weeks ago, my ATV Remote stopped working, but I figured it was the battery. I happily continued with the iPhone Remote, but then yesterday that also stopped working. I replaced the ATV Remote, but still no luck. I have tried re-pairing the ATV and ATV Remote, but get no flashes of confirmation.
I finally hooked up the ATV to my PC via Firewire and restored it to original. I hooked it back up to my TV and it came on with all of channels that I am used to seeing. However, STILL no communication between either of the remotes.
If I had not recently purchased a great speaker set for the ATV television (main room), I would just chuck it and get another Roku, but I would miss my iTunes music soooo much.
Can anyone help???

Thanks, Vazndrew, for the reply.
As a last resort, today I deleted the remote app from my 5S, reinstalled it, but I am still getting the message: "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account XXXXX.com"
Since the beginning of this fiasco, I have turned Home Sharing on and off and on again in iTunes on my computer, and verified it is also turned on on my 5S. I have no idea how to turn it on in the ATV since I cannot get a remote to work. Hooking it up to the PC does not seem to give that option either.
Not sure if I should see it or not, but hooked up to the the PC, in iTunes the ATV does not show as a device.

Still problems with Apple id and emails after move to iCloud

Hi,
After move from MobileMe to iCloud, there are still problems with apple id's and emails.
I'm trying to delete a mail (email1) from one apple id, but nothing happens?
And when i'm trying to add a email (email2), that i Know isn't linked to another apple id, i get the message that it is already in use with another apple id?
It's a problem when you use these emails with facetime, imessage etc ...

My iPhone 5 and 4 both are having no trouble connecting to the Apple store, but my iPad (4th Gen) cannot either connect to Apple store, nor stream music using iTunes Radio. Keeps asking for my Apple ID and password. When I put it in, it says that I cannot connect. If I put it in wrong, it tells me its wrong. Tried changing my password on my desktop PC. The iPhones handled change and continued to connect, but iPad is unable to connect still.
Any solutions would be appreciated.

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.

How do you set the remote only to work with the MacBook and not the Hi-Fi.

I have a Hi-Fi Apple stereo hooked up to my Macbook but when I use the Apple remote, it controls both things.
So if I am scrolling through my music in Frontrow then the volume on the Hi-Fi stereo is turning down or up depending on which way I am scrolling.
My question is:
How do I make the remote work with only my MacBook?

Pair the remote with your macbook by isolating it point the remote at it while holding down the menu and next buttons. You see like a chain appear and that will mean the remote is paired. Now only the macbook will only respond to the macbooks remote. Do the same with the Hi-Fi remote and now the hi-fi will only work with the hi-fi remote.

Get Airtunes to work with Apple TV and Mountain Lion

Hi there,
I know there are tons of people complaining that the new Airplay Mirroring doesn't work with their later than mid 2011 Mac running Mountain Lion. My complaint is I just want to be able to use my apple TV with my Itunes library. After my upgrade my apple TV2 can't find my Itunes library. I don't care about the mirroring feature, that's why I bought an AppleTV, but without access to the library I can't play anything. Is there any way to get just Airtunes to work? Are there any setup tricks I could do to make it work? On the ipad and the iphone I see the option to pair my devices with a 4 digit code in itunes but the apple TV only works through my Apple ID. this seems to make my ipad and iphone not work.
I have a 2010 iMac and a AppleTV2. I just want to be able to browse my library on my itunes. Sometimes it will work for short period of time after several resets on both machines but it never lasts.
Some one please help!

1. Insure home sharing is turned on both apple tv & the iPad - same account
2. When playing video or audio look for the little square usually lower left corner press it and select
Apple tv!
3. For mirroring double press home button (or multi finger slide up) scroll
All the way to the left & turn on AirPlay and choose mirroring!

Getting remote messaging to work with Java/Spring and Flex

I am trying to get remote messaging working on a Flex client with a Java/Spring backend.
I have the channel is setup on the server as such:
<
channel-definition id="long-polling-channel"
class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
<endpoint
url="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amflongpolling"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint" />
<properties>

<polling-enabled>true</polling-enabled>
<polling-interval-millis>0</polling-interval-millis>
<wait-interval-millis>-1</wait-interval-millis>
<max-waiting-poll-requests>
10
</max-waiting-poll-requests>
</properties>
</channel-definition>
In the Spring context, I am setting up the MessageBroker, MessageTemplate, and some custom wrapper code:
<?
xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><
beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:flex="http://www.springframework.org/schema/flex" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/flex
http://www.springframework.org/schema/flex/spring-flex-1.0.xsd" >
<flex:message-broker id="messageServiceBroker" />
<flex:message-destination id="event-bus"
message-broker="messageServiceBroker" channels="long-polling-channel"
message-time-to-live="1000"
subscription-timeout-minutes="5"
throttle-inbound-max-frequency="500" throttle-inbound-policy="ERROR"
throttle-outbound-max-frequency="500" throttle-outbound-policy="IGNORE" />
<bean id="defaultMessageTemplate" class="org.springframework.flex.messaging.MessageTemplate">
<property name="defaultDestination" value="event-bus" />
<property name="messageBroker" ref="messageServiceBroker" />
</bean>
<bean id="MessagingServices" class="com.bofa.esm.utility.messaging.MessagingServices">
<property name="messageTemplate" ref="defaultMessageTemplate" />
<property name="destinationName" value="event-bus" />
<property name="scheduler" ref="PersistentQuartzScheduler" />
</bean></
beans>
The custom wrapper code is insignificant, but it basically creates a thread and posts a custom context over and over every minute. The actual message is posted with this bit of code:
     messageTemplate.send(msgCtx);
On the Flex side, I create a Channel and ChannelSet like thus:
public
static function getMessageChannelSet():ChannelSet{
if(messageChannelSet == null){messageChannelSet =
new ChannelSet();
//e.g. 'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfpolling';
var messageURL:String = getBaseUrl() + MESSAGE_URL;
var channel:AMFChannel = new AMFChannel(MESSAGE_CHANNEL_NAME,messageURL);messageChannelSet.addChannel(channel);
return channelSet;}
And then, latter I create a Consumer and add the channelset to it:
var
_messageConsumer:Consumer = new Consumer();
var msgChannel:ChannelSet = RemotingUtility.getMessageChannelSet();
var encrypted:Object = this.encrypt(_sessionModel.username, _sessionModel.password);
var token:AsyncToken = msgChannel.login(encrypted.userId, encrypted.password);
_messageConsumer.channelSet = msgChannel;
_messageConsumer.destination =
"event-bus";_messageConsumer.addEventListener(MessageEvent.RESULT,
this.onMessage);
The problem is, I dont get the messages from the server. In fact, from what I can tell by the logs when I post a message from the server, it doesn't appear that anything is listening to the channel:

Shouldn't the "subscribed clientIds: []" have something listed as subscribed? What am I missing?

I made some modifications to the code section that registers the Consumer:
Alert.show(
"onRegister running","AppShellMediator",Alert.OK);
var _messageConsumer:Consumer = new Consumer();
var msgChannel:ChannelSet = RemotingUtility.getMessageChannelSet(); _messageConsumer.channelSet = msgChannel;
_messageConsumer.destination =
"event-bus"; _messageConsumer.addEventListener(MessageEvent.RESULT,
this.onMessage); _messageConsumer.subscribe(
"MessagingClient"+Math.random());
if(_messageConsumer.connected)      Alert.show(
"Message Channel is connected","AppShellMediator",Alert.OK);
if(_messageConsumer.authenticated)      Alert.show(
"Message Channel is authenticated","AppShellMediator",Alert.OK);
if(_messageConsumer.subscribed)      Alert.show(
"Message Channel is subscribed, clientId: "+_messageConsumer.clientId,"AppShellMediator",Alert.OK);
I am now calling the subscribe method, then testing to see if the consumer is connected, authorized, and subscribed. The first two return True, the last one does not. So, despite the call to subscribe(), the Consumer is not subscribed. Is there a way to figure out why? Possibly there was an error somewhere?

Can't open Gmail with Windows 8.1 (still works with I.E., and this wasn't a problem on Windows XP)

Hi! I've switched from Windows XP to 8.1. I've installed Firefox, but when I try to access gmail, I get a message that says gmail can't be opened because I need to disable cookies. I don't want to disable cookies, and this was never a problem before. Gmail still works through Internet Explorer, which is not as good a browser. How do I get gmail and firefox to play nicely together in the sandbox and still share cookies? Thanks!

Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display... Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

Working fine on my system
If on wifi, try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date
Reboot all components

Airplay won't work with Apple TV and iPad 2

I have an iPad 2 running iOS 8.1 and an Apple TV 3 with the latest software and I can't use Airplay to send content to my Apple TV. I know there is no issue with the Apple TV since I can use Airplay to send content to my Apple TV using my iPhone 6, and Macbook, but not using my iPad. Oddly, Airplay will work on my iPad when I connect to my airport express, but not to my Apple TV - Apple TV doesn't appear in the drop down menu yet my airport express does! I have gone through all the usual fixes (restarting, restoring, etc. etc.) - to no avail, my iPad simply can not find my Apple TV for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated! cheers, d

I Have the same problem with iOS 8.2 and the latest OS for the Apple TV. My Apple TV is connected by ethernet as is my iMac. I can stream to the Apple TV from my iMac via this ethernet setup. But my iPad and iPhone 5s with iOS 8.2 won't connect even though I can see the AirPlay button and the sound a pics go blank on the iPhone and iPad .
I Have been suing AirPlay for several years with no prob,ms until now. I am running Yosemite OS on the iMac.

2-wire modems don't work with Apple?

Never had an Internet problem until I moved 3 weeks ago. Since then my 12 mbps signal drops constantly. AT&T Uverse have been to my new house 20 days straight trying to fix it (their monitoring shows the signal drops [goes away] sometimes every 2 or 3 minutes, ever since they connected it 20 days ago). They have rewired my house (new cat5e drops, everything from the street to the house to the RJ45), and also redid fiber-to-copper-to-street from telephone poles. (I don't know the technical terms, but that's the gist of it, as they explained it to me.) The AT&T guy says 2-wire modems won't work with Apple computers, and that might be the actual cause of the problems. I find that hard to understand, since I had the same modem also using Uverse at my old address, for four years, with no problems. So they've added a Cisco router, creating a second wifi within my house. Now I get steady signal with Cisco, but it's 3.4 mbps.
I now am having problems streaming already-rented movies to my AppleTV. The one I tried to watch tonight stops every 5 minutes or so and buffers for at least another 5 minutes each time. That makes it tough to watch the movie.
Does anybody know if this buffering issue is because of slow wifi? Or is it related to wifi at all? If not, what else could it be? I started this movie about 2 hours ago, so I now have 22 hours left on the rental, and at this rate I'll be up all night trying to watch it.
Thanks.

I've used U-verse and the same 2-Wire modem for 4 years without any problems. I am about 1800 feet from the VRAD (box, usually on a street corner, that connects the last mile copper to the fiber which goes to the CO).
So you have to ask U-verse just how far are you from the VRAD. The service does degrade somewhat the further you are from the VRAD (limit about 3000 to 4000 feet) and of course the quality of the copper between you and the VRAD.
Also, for questions like this, which are more U-vers problems than mac problems I suggest posting at the two primary U-verse forums:
AT&T U-verse Forums

Does the Airport express work with apple TV?

does the airport express base station work with apple tv and connected devices, like the same way it would over a wi-fi router?

Yes. The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is a Wi-Fi router and supports the Apple TV for connectivity.

How does Remote work with Apple TV?

How does Remote work with Apple TV?
1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
OR
Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
(If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
thank you in advance, Tom

Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

Apple Remote won't work with Logic

I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

Program silver Uverse remote to work with Apple TV

Let me start by saying that I have the second generation Apple TV and the silver Uverse remote control.
Through ATV's "Learn Remote" function, I've succeeded at setting up the Uverse remote so the basic ATV functions work (up, down, left, right, select, menu). But I haven't been able to set up my remote to do playback functions (play, pause, stop, rewind, fast-forward, etc.), which are equally important when watching anything through ATV.
I'm wondering whether the playback functions aren't working on my Uverse remote because the models of my hardware are incompatible; again I have a silver Uverse remote and 2nd gen ATV.
Has anyone else had this problem, or, better, yet, have a solution to it? If I can't program my Uverse remote fully via the ATV directions, do you know the ATT-specific directions/codes on how to get these two devices to work together properly?
Thanks in advance.

- You can try the search method & step through every code to see if one works.
You can call in for a new S-20 remote designed to work with Sound bars that has a code listed.
Here are the directions for the s-20 & s-10 - http://www.att.com/esupport/u-verse/remotes/
Here is a work around for the S-10 vol control after you have turned on the sound bar -
The default for vol control is ALWAYS TV. To change it so that control follows the- ATT/OK-955-ENTER(lower right)
In att mode, lower the volume from 25 to 15.
Set the TV volume to a comfortable level.
Set the soundbar volume to a comfortable level.
While watching in ATT mode, the control will vary the STB volume. Yo will hear the result from whichever sound source is active - TV or soundbar.
Other possible replacement remotes - Logitech Harmony (if you have any other equipment) or - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=RCRP05BR
