IPad cannot find Apple TV (via 'remote' app)

I have a MacBook, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. I have remote on my iPhone and both the library from my MacBook and ATV are on here.
I have downloaded Remote for the iPad, however it will only find my MacBook library. I have tried turning home sharing off and then back on again and have called Apple who advised to delete the app, reset and then download it and start again. Tried this without success.
I have looked at all the options under settings in the ATV menu and under 'remotes' it has my iPhone listed but i cannot add another.
HELP!

I assume that you have added the library on the iPad so this so please forgive me if you have ...
I don't have ATV. But I do have two iTunes libraries from two different computers available on my iPad. Can I assume that you have added the ATV by this method on your iPad?
When you launch the app, tap on the one library you have, do you get the option to add another library by then tapping on the settings gear in the upper right corner? Does that option even come up for you? Or, if you are in the one library that you have, can you tap on the rectangles in the upper left corner to take you to the screen with the gear setting?
Like I said, apologies if you have done this on your iPad.

HT202788 iPhone 4 cannot control Apple TV via remote App? this is bullying by Apple!!

Looks like I can't control latest Apple TV via the Remote App on an iPhone 4 running iOS 7 - why?... surely this has nothing to do with hardware capabilities and everything to do with Apple's bullying into forcing people to necessarily update their devices. I hope that I am missing something but it all worked fine and now ..!

The confusion between different passwords due to Mobile Me and iCloud plus the complexities of Home Sharing and the frustration of using an increasingly outdated iPhone4 with the sometimes challenging Remote App and a brand new iMAC have proved to be a lethal combination.
I resolved the issue by resetting the Apple TV and the Remote App, making sure I keep things simple by only using the iCloud account ... hope this keeps me out of trouble for a while.

IPhone or iPad won't connect to Apple TV via Remote App

I am trying to connect to my ATV2 via the remote app on my iPad2 iOS 5.1.1 and a 3Gs with 5.1.1 and I can not get it to see my ATV2 at all. I have rebooted it and rebooted both the phone and iPad multiple times and it still won't connect. Funny thing is, I have a Galaxy S 3 and can use the AppleTVMedia app from the Play store and can connect to my ATV2 just fine!! Wouldn't it be eaiser for the Apple products to connect to Apple Products??? Anyone have any idea on what I can do to get my iOS devices to connect to my ATV2?

Figured out my Apple TV issue. It had to do with how I had it networked. I guess it doesn't like Ethernet over Power line anymore. When I have WiFi on the remote app works fine on my iOS devices. But when I plug in the Ethernet cable it doesn't see it on the remote app. I know its not my Ethernet over power line adapter because other things attached to it work just fine.
Gonna try and do a firmware update to see if that will help.

Can't wake up Apple TV 2gen via remote app or airplay

Hello,
Can't wake up my Apple TV 2gen via remote app or AirPlay from my iPhone 3GS or my iPad 2. All devices are on the current IOS version (4.3.1). Wake up with the hardware remote is possible.
The remote app and AirPlay works if the wake up is done with the hardware remote. If I had tried to wake up the apple tv via the remote app or AirPlay the apple tv needs a reboot (unplug power) to work proper with the iPhone or the iPad.
Seems to by a bug in IOS 4.3.1!?
Any ideas?

no, remote app never supported waking up appletv's
if that will change I can't say but you can let apple know how you feel
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
but mind you putting appletv to sleep don't really safe much in terms of power
and it's connected to the wifi network always

Controlling Apple TV with Remote App on iPhone 5 Issues

Hello,
Been having this problem since I got my iPhone 5, for about a month.
When I am in the Remote app on my iPhone, and I have chosen my Apple TV as my device, choose my iMac to play content off of, once I find my content and select it, the following happens for anything, movies, tv shows, music, music videos:
Tap content to begin playing > Screen on iPhone goes to Now Playing screen with no artwork and title says "Lable" > the spinning wheel appears on the screen from the Apple TV and spins for about 10 seconds > Meanwhile, the Remote app loses its connect to the Apple TV and says "Connecting to Apple TV" > Once the spinning wheel is done it goes back to the main menu of the Apple TV > Remote app goes back to the available computers screen.
I am signed in to home sharing on all systems. I have restored the Apple TV from the latest software and also deleted and reinstalled the Remote app.
The reason i know the content is fine is I can play any of it directly from my iMac to the Apple TV using the normal menu system, this only happens when I try playing the content through the Remote app.
Naturally I can get away with using the Apple TV but I want to find out the problem cause it is much easier to navigate the Remote app than the ATV.
Running iTunes 10.7, latest and have the lastest iOS on my iPhone as well.
Any insight is very appreciated.
Thank you!

Same trouble here, iPad 2 with latest OS and remote app, iPod with latest OS and app.

I cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

i cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

App Store products can only be updated by signing in to the store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to download them. You can't update anything, including your own purchases, as long as there are pending updates linked to the other ID.
If you can't sign in with the other ID, you have to delete all the apps that are linked to it. If you don't know which apps those are, see below.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Delete each such item by following the instructions in the Apple Support article linked above.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

I cannot find apple tv (1st generation) under devices after downloading the latest itunes version

i cannot find apple tv (1st generation) under devices after downloading the latest itunes version.
cannot stream any pictures or music
any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If restarting everything including your router doesn't help......
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Why do you believe it should appear in iTunes? Is it a 1st Gen ATV?

Apple TV 2 - Remote app for iPad

I've got an Apple TV 2 and an iPad running iOS 4.2.1. Apple TV is wired to my router via ethernet, iPad is connected to the same router via Wifi. Home Sharing is turned on all around.
What I really want is the ability to view and control all of my media on my Apple TV via the Remote app WITHOUT having to turn on my TV. Right now I can't do that. What am I doing wrong???
I've installed (and reinstalled) the Remote app. When I run it, I can see both the Apple TV and my iTunes library on my iMac. When I open the Apple TV on the iPad, I only get a generic page that says "Access iTunes libraries on Apple TV" - BUT I can't see any media. I can open the "gestures" menu and can use the drag to navigate option to control the Apple TV.
I can also access my iTunes library on my iMac to control the music there. But that doesn't do my any good with the Apple TV.
What am I doing wrong??? I've looked through the forms here but can't find the answer.

You certainly can use Remote to control the ATV without turning the tv on as that is exactly what I do when I just want to listen to music, streamed from iTunes vis the ATV to my receiver. I simply open up Remote which connects to the Apple TV, showing my shared library on the left. From here I can chose any music to play and it plays via the ATV. I don't need to use AirPlay.

Cannot add itunes lib to remote app on iPad

When trying to add an itunes lib using the Remote app on my iPad (2) a Passcode is displayed and the ipad2 appears under the Devices list in iTunes; entering the code there does not connect... checked all setups. Any ideas why this does not work?
Rem: I do not want to use HomeSharing.

I too have this problem and made it worse. Under Mavericks and iOS7 everything set up very easily and worked beautifully like Apple stuff usually does. Then a couple of weeks ago I took the dive and updated to Yosemite, iTunes 12 and iOS8 and then I would occasionally lose connection with my iTunes library as described by the second poster. Very aggravating. So I made a bigger mistake and deleted the library from my iPad Remote app and whenever I started it up again it would say 'Add a device'. I clicked and a randomly generated 4 digit number appears with the exact instructions: 'To add an iTunes library, open iTunes on your computer and choose Remote from the tab bar'. I went to iTunes and searched EVERYWHERE for this Remote tab bar and could not find it. I then went to iTunes Preferences: Devices and clicked the button 'Forget All Remotes' thinking this may reset something in iTunes and make the Remote tab appear somehow to start from scratch. Wrong! Now there is absolutely no connection between the Remote app on my devices and iTunes on my computer.
Can anyone point me to this Remote tab in iTunes?? If I can find that then I think I should be able to fix this.
Geez, talk about effing up what should be (and was) a very simple app.

Adjust radio station list on ATV2 & access via Remote App

Hi everybody,
On my Apple TV 1 I could get further radio stations by adding them to a play list on my MacBook and then synchronizing with the ATV1. Further, I was able to select the radio stations directly on my iPhone & iPad via the Remote App (i.e. without having to turn on the TV).
On the Apple TV 2, it seems like I can neither adjust the defined list of radio stations, nor access the radio station list directly via the Remote App for the iPhone / iPad.
Am I simply not finding the right option or is there really no way to adjust radio stations and/or access them directly via the iPad Remote App on the ATV2?
Thanks a lot!
Hobbes
P.S.: I know that a workaround would be to use any radio app on my iPad and then stream to the ATV2 via Airplay, but I'd liek to have that working directly on the Apple TV... :)

While I still haven't found a solution to my original problem (i.e. to adjust the list of radio stations and being able to select them via the Remote App), I found a page of somebody with the same issue who has proposed some alternative solutions:
Radio Streaming on the ATV2
Still not 100% what I am looking and hoping for, but I thought this guy's suggestions may be helpful for others stumbling across this post.

ITunes cannot find Aiport Express via D-link

iTunes cannot find Aiport Express.
iMac and Airport Express both connected to D-link wireless router (DI-524UP). Can see Airport Express on iMac Airport Utilities, and can communicate (do changes) via the D-link network. iMac working fine with D-link for internett access also.Have set up Aiport Express to serve as extra speakers in iTunes. Airport Express connected to stereo with cable. Can choose the external speakers in iTunes. Think this means iTunes also must be communicating with Airport Express, because If I change the name of the externals speakers in Airport Express, it also changes in iTunes after clicking "update" and the Airport Express re-starts. However after choosing the external speakers in iTunes and starting a song iTunes is seeking the speakers (Airport Express) without finding it. All devices are connected to the same D-link network.
Working fine when I set up Airport Express with its own network and connecting it with iMac. Also I could connect my iPhone to my iTunes library (remote app.) This is not working in the d-Link network either.
It's a drag to have to change both the PC and the iPhone to another network every time I want to play musik on the stereo. This is why I am trying to get everything to work together in the same network (D-Link).
Somebody having met this problem before?

Correction: Downloaded an update for the D-Link, and now the iPhone is working with iMac for remote control of iTunes.
Still iTunes cannot find Airport Express when choosing external speekers
