I have a apple tv with no remote but i have a ipod touch ..how can i turn on remote sharing on my apple tv with no remote?

i have a apple tv ipluged it into my big screen i turned on home sharing on my itunes and on my ipod touch but i dont have a remote to my apple tv so i can turn on remote sharing so it will reconize my ipod touch ...??? can anyone help?

I think if there is a way to program a different remote first like a direct tv remote, then you could turn on home sharing and then use either that universal remote or the IOS device. I cannot figure out how to program my direct tv remote for my apple tv though.

    How do you turn on home sharing on my Apple TV if I lost my remote?

    You can not do anyting to ATV if you do not have the only device that controls it.  You can get a replacement for $20.

  • HT1947 How can I turn on Home Sharing on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote?

    I have logged in to iTunes on my PC and enabled Home Sharing, I have then downloaded the Apple TV Remote app on my iphone5 and turned the Home Sharing on there as well.
    Now when I turn the app on the only icon that I see to control is the iTunes library.  I assume that the last thing that I need to do is to turn on the Home Sharing function on in Apple TV the only problem is that I don't have a remote to control anything.  The screen is on I just can't navigate.
    Thanks

    Thanks so much! My issue is that I followed those same steps already and can't find my advanced settings on my iPad. Any suggestions?

    What are you trying to do on the iPod?
    Have you went to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in?

    I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

  • How can I turn off the blobs that keep popping up with underlined or otherwise marked words or expressions in text or menue.

    Looking at web pages some key words are underlined or marked. Moving the cursor across them brings out a flag with directions to ask what it is. It is very annoying and I spend more time trying to get rid of them than enjoying the reading. This was not there several years ago but has become increasingly frequent. How can I turn this OFF. I am not a computer expert.

    Are you perhaps using Google Calendar as your main calendar service? There is an option in Google Calendar to have text alerts sent to your phone for events. Log into Google Calendar on your computer and disable that feature.
    If you're using a different calendar service, see if they have a similar set up.

  • HT204053 I have another Apple ID from when I originally set up this iPod, now I can't reset it as I am also set up with Find My iPhone which may have been doen by mistake I have been in contact with Apple itself and they can't fix the problem so far

    i have originally forgotten my pass code for a new iPod Touch, now I have with Apple's help reset it to factory, my issue is due to the change in my Apple ID , the iPod will not  let me set it up under the new Id or the old one.I also have been set up with find my iPhone and I don't remember if I did this or not, could have been the grand children trying to help out. Any ideas or suggestions, I haven't even used this yet and I have owned it for 6months already. Really am disappointed that the process is so difficult to navigate.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

  • I forgot my Apple Id and Icloud Id of my Ipod touch. how can i restore my ipod touch with new ID

    I have an Ipod touch 5S
    I forgot my Apple ID and my Icloud ID
    I tried to connect it to Itunes and do a ''restore as new Ipod'' but could not find this option
    Can you help me restoring my Ipod as new

    You need to recover them because yo will run into:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
    Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID. See Finding your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    Ans if necessary:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

  • I have 2 old computers(both XP) now connected with a KVM switch, both have same version of FF (11.0) but different profiles, bookmarks & addons. How can easily I make them both the same?

    #2 has many years of bookmarks and profiles, #1 is only 3 months old. I would like them both to run the same add-ons and have same profiles. How can I integrate the old to the new and the new to the old? Both are up and running fine. I got the KVM because one has MS Office 7, but couldn't afford to put it on the other one. They also both connect wirelessly to the router which is in the next room (my brother's as he's a gamer and needs a faster connection), so they aren't set up as a regular network although I log on with a password. I'd like to be able to put the entire profile once integrated on a flash drive. Thanks.

    Firefox '''Sync''' can synchronize your Profiles. <br />

  • Someone had stolen my ipod touch how can retrive my serial number with out the ipod

    someone from my work stole my ipod touch. How can i retrive my serial number but i don't have the ipod anymore

    Report the theft to the police.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • My friend has lost there 4th generation ipod touch how can i get it back, i have the serial number

    . As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
