Lost Apple TV Remote

I lost my apple tv remote but I want to set up my sell phone to pair with apple tv

Both would need to be on the same network and home sharing enabled on Apple TV in order to use the remote app on iPhone. If that's not the case you will need a physical remote to set it up.

  • HT1947 Lost Apple TV remote, how can I use app if the home sharing is not already enabled?

    I lost my Apple TV remote so I can't change the settings on the tv.  Is there a way to use the remote app on my ipad without having the actual hardware remote to program the tv?

    The remote app requires home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. Since that's not the case you will have to purchase a new remote.

  • Lost Apple TV remote. Now how do I control it? This is a complex situation.

    I'm at college and I lost the Apple TV remote to my Apple TV 2.
    Here's my situation.
    I can turn on the Apple TV, but I never connected my Apple TV to the school's network so I'm not able to use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. I plugged in the ethernet port on the Apple TV to the Thunderbolt Ethernet port on my Macbook. This gave the Apple TV internet(thank you Mac hotspot feature) allowing me to get past the "Setting Time and Zone" page that appears first. Now, the Apple TV is at the home screen. I can use the airplay feature on my mac to send stuff to my Apple TV and that work fines. However, when I connect my iPhone to the same network as my computer(my MacBook is sharing that connection with Apple TV), my Apple TV does not show up in the Remote app. So I can't find a way to control it with the Remote app.
    So, how can I control my Apple TV, which is stuck on the home screen?
    Can I buy another Apple TV remote or universal remote and get it to pair with this Apple TV without having to go to the pair remote page?
    I need to find some way to control this thing without having any control of it right now.
    Doesn't Apple have some kind of feature for this type of situation, or is my Apple TV now useless?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help! I would greatly appreciate it!

    all apple remotes work out of the box
    borrow the remote from the neighbors kid Eric that he got with his appletv or imac or macbook or the likes it works
    or buy a new remote it works
    borrow Erics remote and use it to setup remote app on an ios device that works too

    See this official Apple article on how to unpair your remote with an Apple TV.

    Let us know how this works for you.
    Also, are you positive the battery in your Apple TV remote is good?
    Never hurts to check or ask.

  • TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

    If you have home sharing enabled on the Apple TV and an IOS running on the same network you can use the remote app. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new remote.

  • Apple TV remote lost, and no wifi connection

    Help, Ive lost my Apple TV remote, Ive seen the forum topics on the remote app but Ive also changed BB providers recently so the Apple TV box isn't connected to my wifi so I can't access it! I'm happy to buy a replacement remote but wondering how I would set it up as I can't access the settings on the Apple TV box.

    The Apple TV would recognize your replacement remote out of the box, same as your original one did.

  • Apple TV remote no longer working, unpairing is giving me resolution screen, lost Remote app control as well.

    I've been trying to sort this out for a while; somehow my Apple TV is no longer homesharing with the rest of my network.  I had hoped to use my apple TV remote to re-activate the Remote Apps I have on my iPod, but the remote isn't responding.  I've tried unpairing, but if I press menu-rewind for six seconds, it sends me to the resolution screen instead, and the white light flashes repeatedly - I can't get the remote to accept the resolution settings, or get the cursor to even so much as move.  Extremely frustrating as I've been unable to make this work for a week and I don't drive (I'm disabled and housebound) so just popping into a shop somewhere to get it fixed is a slim-to-none chance of possibility.
    I really hope there's a better solution!

  • HT1555 I pressed some thing on my apple remote and lost apple tv help me get back

    I pressed something on my apple tv remote doused me to lose my apple tv I get other stuff but not my apple tv

    could you try to explain more about what issue it is you are having
    did you change the input source on your tv so it show other things then the appletv such an dvd or sat box?
    did you turn off the appletv with the apple remote and don't know how to turn it on again?
    when you say appletv do you mean some special part of the appletv software which you have no longer access to but "other stuff" being other parts of the appletvs functionality is still avaible?

  • HT4437 How to connect my Apple TV with an iPhone without Apple TV remote

    I lost my Apple TV remote and I can't find another way to connect to it only my iPhone could I use somthing else or do I have to buy another remote?

    You can use the remote app on iPhone but that would require home sharing to be setup and both on the same network. If that's not the case you will need a new remote.

  • Multiple Apple TV remotes at once?

    Recently lost my Apple TV remote. It's nice a small, but I think sometimes TOO small.
    Anyway, ordered two new ones (nice and shiny and slightly bigger) and the same day they arrived I found the old one (of course).
    So I thought, that's okay...I like having more than one remote because I swap the Apple TV between my kitchen and my living room all the time and it would be nice to only worry about brining the box (as each room has spare cables).
    But surprisingly the Apple TV only lets you keep one remote at a time. I understand the logic but I also understand the logic of making that an option - which it isn't.
    It has a "learn" option but that doesn't appear to work with other remotes unless I unpair (?)
    Is this a waste of time or can I have multiple Apple remotes or should I just return one of the two I bought?

    So I don't "need" to pair them? I can un-pair the one I have and they all will work?
    yes
    the only reason to pair is to stop the appletv responding to more than 1 remote. if that is what you want then pairing is not required.
