You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

How to escalate ATV Home Sharing Problems to Apple?

I too am one of the many people that is having issues with Home Sharing between my AppleTV and iTunes. I am a relatively technically-savvy user, and I am unable to determine why this problem exists.
I have a mac mini that does nothing except serve iTunes to the home. The machine was purchased within the last year and a half, never goes to sleep, and is not connected to a display. The entire house is wired with Cat-5, so I have a direct connection between all of the machines in the house, and all devices like the Apple TV units that we own. The AppleTV is set to never sleep as well, so the working connection should remain in place.
The issue is that we have Home Sharing turned on in iTunes on the Mac Mini, and on the Apple TVs (mostly 3's, but a couple of 2's). After a period of time (couple of hours let's say) the connection breaks. When we go to the AppleTV and try to connect to the library, it shows as "loading" for an indefinite period. The only way to resolve the problem is to remotely access the iTunes library from another machine and double-click a file (like a movie for instance) and then the hanging-state on the ATV goes away and the files are available for play. Couple of hours later - same issue arises.
The problem is not at the computer level IMHO, b/c I setup another iTunes library on my Mac Pro to test, and the same issue arises.
The only thing that has changed in the last few months is software on the AppleTV. 2 versions ago, this issue arose and I began to research the problem, but a software update came from Apple and the issue went away. Since the most recent update - the problem appears to be back.
I have tried all options I could find - resetting my ID, setting the units to not go to sleep, researching and changes ipv6 settings, etc, and nothing keeps the connection in place.
I am an Apple supporter, and have clearly bought into the ecosystem. What I expect for my money is that the basics work consistently. An established connection between new devices that are directly connected should always work. Wondering what should be done to engage with Apple to advise of this issue that I and many other users seem to be having.

Hi Winston,
I appreciate your response. I will engage Apple via the link you provided.
If I were the only person having this issue I would tend to agree with you, but the same issue appears in a number of threads on the front page of this board. In addition, if I never had this working well, then it could be a user error issue. I haven't changed anything about my network recently - nothing. No new routers, no new settings, no new devices, nothing. Literally, I had this working well for like a year, then suddenly it wasn't (and coincidentally after an update). Then, suddenly it was working perfectly - after an update - and now suddenly it isn't - after an update. The only change in the whole chain is the software update, so tough to imagine its a network problem. In addition, I have a Western Digital Live device on the same network accessing my NAS, and it's working perfectly.
I'll use the link you provided. Thanks again.

How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

Multiple users, devices & Apple IDs in the house. Can we, and how would we, use Home Sharing?

We have three users in the house, each with their own Apple ID, using multiple mac/PC devices. Can we and how would we use Home Sharing to share music, apps, etc?

Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

I am having a problem with homesharing on my apple tv. The email address on my tv is different than what I am registered with. How do I correct the email address that is being displayed under home sharing on the apple tv?

Somehow my apple id email address under homesharing on my apple tv is different than that used for homesharing on itunes in my imac. I can't access home sharing on my apple tv because of this. Can you please tell me how to change it on the apple tv in order to get homesharing to work?

turn off home sharing on apple tv, then turn it on again, entering new credentials. Apple-TV works very reliably with home sharing unlike iDevices which don't

HT202213 How do I, using Home Sharing, move songs from my wife's itunes library to mine, so that I can download them on my iphone5?

If I understand what I'm reading about Home Sharing, the same Apple ID must be used to share itunes music between different iphones....but we each have or own separate Apple ID. Am I understanding this correctly? How do we share the music in our libraries.

Just copy the files across the network, via a USB flash drive, or external hard drive from one computer to the other.
Keep in mind the computer must be authorized to play the content which means your computer will need to be authorized for your wife's iTunes account.

How can I configure Home Sharing to work through a consumer VPN service?

I recently purchased a year subscription to a VPN service know as Private Intenet Access (PIA). With this VPN executable program connected to it's servers, my data is "filtered" through it behind the router. The router IS NOT configure with the vpn so I can controll which devices use the VPN. Addiotionally, if I want I can configure the VPN as a proxy instead of just running the program ( i would use the proxy for mobile devices).
My question is this: Is there an efficient way to configure iTunes and/or Apple TV3 in order to be able to use PIA while home sharing. I notice, often times that home sharing on the Apple TV will not read the Windows maching that has home sharing enabled through iTunes. But other machines work fine. Sometimes, depending on the "order" of the networks I connect to home sharing will work from the particular machine.
for example:
I can connect to the internet if I connect to my wifi and then enable the VPN (PIA) but cannot home share. However, if I connect to PIA then connect to the Wifi, it will work witout an issue.
The real issue is that when the Apple TV and pr PC go to sleep these connecting can wake up connecting in a different order.
I can only think to perhaps manually enter in the proxy info supplied by PIA to Apple TV. But there are not real instructions on how to do so.
I know this question is broad and scattered, but I am hoping that someone out there has had or having the same issue with some kind of resolution.
I've chatted online with PIA reps and they aren't entirely Apple savy. So here I am.
Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!
-Cheers

HT3819 How do I get home sharing to work?

I've tried everything and it stubbornly refuses to obey my wishes. My mother's computer is a mac and mine is a pc. We have two different itunes accounts but are using my account to attempt to create a home share. We are on the same network, use the same router, and no firewall is blocking communication between our computers. Yet, no matter how many times I turn home share off and on...IT DOES NOT WORK! Can someone please help us?

Hello Octava,
It sounds like you have already tried a majority of these steps, but I would recommend reviewing the article below.

How do I setup home sharing on my new ipad

How do I setup home sharing on my Ipad ? I just installed an Apple TV and want to display content. Thanks

Once sharing is set up for both devices, go into the Music or Video App, and look for the Air Play icon .
Tap it to get a list of devices you can send content to, one should be your Apple Tv.
Tap it to select it and start plaing anything you want. It should show up on the Tv.

If you want to stream content from your computer, then setup Homesharing there, and then use the "Computers" Tab on the Aple Tv menu screen to access the shared library.

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.
