IPad and iPhone Remote app no longer see my AppleTV (1st Generation)

For months, I've been using the Remote app from my iPad to control my first generation AppleTV. When I got an iPhone 4 and got the Remote app for it, I tried to do the same thing, but now AppleTV will not recognize my iPhone 4, and no longer recognizes my iPad. All it will allow me to use is the ****** little remote that came with it.
How do I fix this?
Notes:
AppleTV is synchronized with my iTunes library
Home Sharing on the PC is turned on
Remote App tells me to "turn on home sharing on the AppleTV from the Computers section of the Settings menu" but no such option exists.

AppleTV1 doen't use Home Sharing.  Try this:
Apple TV (1st generation)
Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Apple TV also connected to.
Open the Remote app on your mobile device.
Select Add an iTunes Library in the Remote settings screen. Remote will then display a 4 digit passcode.
On Apple TV, select Settings from the main menu, select General and then Remotes.
Select the name of your iPhone or iPod touch.
Enter the 4 digit passcode. Use the volume up/down keys on the Apple Remote (Infrared) to change the number that is displayed and the track next/back keys to switch digits.
Click Done.
Remote app will be paired with Apple TV and you can begin browsing your library using Remote and select a piece of content to play.

  • My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

    My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

    Restarted router(s) and it works again.

  • IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

    I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
    I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
    After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
    Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
    Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
    I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
    This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
    I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
    Suggestions ?

    Update:
    Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.
    Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSID's turned off, WMM is enabled.

  • ITunes and iPhone 'Remote' app, only plays one song at a time

    Using iPhone 'Remote' app to control iTunes on Mac. I click on Albums, select an album, select the first track, it plays and then stops and goes back to the albums list. I've tried every conceivable combination of the little icons for Shuffle and track repeat, nothing changes this, it always plays just the track and select and then it's done, it goes back to the tracks list. I've spent hours researching this and cannot get it to work. Thanks for any help.

    Hi, although unchecking tracks is one way to manage what gets put on your device it has other side effects that make it less effective than the use of selected playlists. I generally use unchecking for marking tracks I'd usually want to ignore, such as bonus interview tracks on an album, or podcasts that aren't compatible with my device.
    It is much easier to use playlists rather than check boxes to manage the content. There is no need to make a series of ad hoc playlists however. You'll need two, one of which you can throw away later. Create a new smart playlist with the rules *Playlist is Music* and the option *Match only checked items* ticked. Call it Checked. Now create regular playlist and call it, for example, Sync. Select all the tracks in Checked (cmd-A I think) and drag them into Sync.
    Now you can go to your main music library and cmd-click on an empty checkbox to check all of your tracks so the unchecked behaviour no longer interferes with playback. Change your sync options so that the device syncs with your new playlist. In future you can manage the content by adding and removing things from this list instead of checking and unchecking them.

  • My iPad and iPhone suddenly will no longer send iMessage

    why did my ipad and iPhone suddenly stop sending iMessages

    Sometimes this setting causes problems. Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    You can also try resetting all settings. This causes all of the settings to revert to out of the box condition. I reset my setrings a littl earlier today and had to sign back into Messages and FaceTime. You will not lose any data. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Purchasing iPad and iPhone compatible app. Do I need to pay twice ..?

    Purchasing iPad 2 and iPhone 4 compatible app. Do I need to pay twice?
    Thanks for prompt reply.

    Nope....once you buy it, it's yours and can be used on any device AS LONG as all devices share the same iTunes account.

  • Have just purchased a Macbook Air, already have iPad and iPhone. Apps not appearing in App Store that are already on phone and iPad. what am i doing wrong?

    App help

    Not sure I understand the question... if you're trying to download apps to your Mac that you've downloaded to your iOS device, note that the Mac and the iPhone/iPad use two completely separate operating systems, therefore you need to purchase/download separate app versions for each OS.

  • Local Storage on IPad and Iphone is missing IOS7

    Hi,
    I have a Jquery Mobile app working fine in IOS6, upgrading to IO7 on the Ipad and Iphone the app is crashing when returning lists of data that previously worked. Our app works exclusivley with the local storage code in all modern browers allowing offline usage. Seems like the IOS7 upgrade is disrupting this somehow. I
    cannot see the Local Storage icon in the web developerm, I am expecting this.
    I can load around 40 list items into JqueryMobile, after that Safari crashes and the Wed Developer disappears. Any thoughts welcome.

  • ICloud on iPad and iPhone GarageBand

    Hi,
    A week ago or so, suddenly my iPad and iPhone Garageband Apps lost conenction with my iCloud and all the Garage Band Projects I had stored there.
    The App kept saying: connecting with iCloud but never connected.
    I decided to delete and reinstall the App in both devices, but onece done so, it was not fixed.
    Even worse: The iPhone App is not working anymore. It starts, stays on a black screen for a while and it closes.
    The iPad new instal works, but still does not connect with my iCloud files.
    What is wrong with all this? I hope I can recover my work stored on the iCloud.
    Thanks,

    Hello golfman98,
    I recommend this part of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/.
    If you get to step 3 I recommend closing ALL the apps. Here is step 2 to get you started:
    See if there is an updated version of the app on your iPhone.
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All. iPhone will then download and install the app updates.
    If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. iPhone will then download and install the app updates.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Applications on IPAD and IPHONE are not coming in to my MacBookPro via ICloud?

    IPAD and IPHONe 4S apps, as appropriate, are present on both devices via ICloud however new MacBookPro, while ICloud enabled, does not receive any apps present on IPAD and IPHONE...is this the way it is or have I not done something to bring in the apps to my MacBook?

    The Apps that you are trying to synch, were they already on your iPhone and iPad when you purchased your Macbook Pro? Existing Apps won't synch automatically, only new apps that are downloaded AFTER you set up your Macbook Pro on iCloud. After verifying iClous setup and settings, try downloading a brand new app and see if it synchs to all of your devices.
    The apps on your mobile devices can still be put on your Mac, you will just need to manually download them from the App Store on your MB Pro.

  • Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

    I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

    Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

  • I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

    I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

    It got A new router today and wanted to turn on apple tv but my remote app on iPad and iPhone will not recognize apple tv. Btw- I do not have apple tv remote.

    It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

  • HT4352 How can I get Home Sharing turned on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote control and my remote apps on my ipad and iphone can not get access to my apple tv, only my itunes.

    How can I get Home Sharing turned on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote control and my remote apps on my ipad and iphone can not get access to my apple tv, only my itunes.

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

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.
