I don't have one, but have to ask where you see the message you report. I struggle to see how the tv would know you were trying to use a remote and give out that message if it wasn't receiving any signal.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Whilst the remote app can be used once the Apple TV has been set up, you still need the original remote to set it up first. -
New apple aluminium keyboard with iBook G4
Is this keyboard compatible with my laptop? I have some documents i need to type up, and would like to go an ergonomic route, by using an external, full size keyboard. Anyone know if i can use the new Apple keyboard with my iBook? I'm running Mac OSX ver. 10.4.11.
Thanks!
BrigeHi there:
The keyboard should work OK; are you referring to a BT wireless version
or the USB corded one? I use a USB keyboard with my iBook G4, and it
is the older white plastic one. I got a good deal on it and so both of my
computers have the same keyboard (and I have a spare new Pro model.)
The USB keyboard is handy for me, since a wireless one would not work
when I use it for other maintenance routines and startup for things such
as safeboot, reset pram or other stuff that may suit my fancy. A wireless
keyboard won't let you do many of those important things, but USB will.
The new style aluminum USB keyboard is more costly than the one it
replaced, and the older plastic ones are not available (except for any
old stock someone may have) so I jumped at the plastic one for $25.
And the wireless keyboard in white plastic has different specs, they
would have no trouble with most Apple computers so enabled; while
a few computers early on, had some issues with the new aluminum.
Hopefully your choice works well for you.
Good luck & happy computing! -
My Apple TV remote workers for me not my wife
My brand new Apple TV remote works fine when I'm using it but when my wife tries to push the large button to launch a video it will not work for her. She has tried to carefully push the middle only but still it responds with an error sound. I take it back and it works fine again. We have repeated this many times. I upgraded the software as prompted on screen a day ago. Could that be an issue?
Problem solved. She was pushing AND HOLDING not just pushing

Apple TV remote works my MacBook too!
My new apple tv remote control operates my MacBook as well (I.e. they're both the same or very close frequencies). Does anybody know how to change frequencies on either device so that they operate separately?
i think u check this:

Apple TV remote "controls" the iMac's Volumn!
My new Apple TV remote obviously is able to control the volumn of my iMac when I toggle the remote up and down although I have paired the remote to Apple TV. Any suggestion and solution? Appreciate.
EricIf you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this) -
Apple TV remote is controlling the MacBook
New Apple TV remote is also controlling iTunes on the Macbook. Can I disable the remote for the Mac?
In your System Preferences, go to Security and there is a check box at the bottom that disables any IR remote from comntrolling your Mac.

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.

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying. iPhone remote app works just fine. Any suggestions?
That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it... -
Whenever I use the Apple TV remote to choose a new program, iTunes starts on my computer and starts playing from the playlist. How do I prevent that from happening?
Your computer is picking up the remote's signal. Go into system preferences - security - general. Click on the padlock and go into advanced. Check disable remote control infrared receiver.

My nephew lost the paired Apple TV remote and now I can't pair a new one with it. How do I unpair the lost remote without pairing another remote?
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. -

We got a new pvr and remote for TV from Rogers, now Apple tv doesn't connect, how do I get it connected again
Restore your Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)
I don't recall off the top of my head, but there may also be a reset button on the rear of the unit, probably recessed. -
Im havingtrouble pairing a new apple remote with apple.tv. Any suggestions? Have followed directions so far.
A classic chicken/egg problem. I see this in the Apple TV manual:
You can also hold down Menu and Right for 6 seconds to pair Apple TV and the Apple Remote.
When you successfully pair your Apple Remote, Apple TV displays a chainlink symbol ( ) above a picture of a remote. Apple TV now works only with the paired remote.
You might have to change your screen name (kidding). -
i just got a new apple tv but for some reason the remote only worked for about a min. and than it wount work at all. i tried to pair and unpair but nathing works but when i press a button the light on the apple tv turns off. what should i do?
