No remote for Apple TV and its never been in my network will an Ethernet cable help

My second hand Apple TV has no remote, therefor I know I can't get to the settings to find a network using the remote app because it is new but can I get an Ethernet cable, plug it in to the router and then use my phone?

I have just got hold of an ethernet cable, the Atv automatically went onto the network without having to navigate through any of the options but the only functionality available seems to be airplay from my mac or phone.

  • HT4352 I lost my remote for apple tv and would like to use my ipad mini as the remote.  Is this possible?

    I am not sure if I can program or whatever my ipad mini to use as the renote for our apple tv.  We cannot find the remote and I thought I read somewhere tht one can set up their ipad device to act as a remote for apple tv.  I could be wrong.  Maybe it means sharing some other thisngs between computers but not usinghte ipad as a remote for apple tv.  Any information abou this mater would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    scima

    Only if you've already setup home-sharing on ATV and both are on the same network.
    The remote app is available from the App Store

  • Apple denies replacement due to apparant water damage, wetness indicator is white, iphone 5 has been searching for a network for 5 days and its never got wet

    So my iphone is about 5 months old, over the last week it has been searching for a network signal. Yesterday i blew inside the sim tray to as i thought there was something stuckin there (stupid i know) but today apple denied replacement due to water damage. theres no water damage and the wet indicator is white. any advice on what i can do?? as i know it hasnt been submerged in water or exposed to water the phone was broken before i blew in it...the phne works fine its just not picking up a network

    Take it back to the Apple store and ask for an explanation as to why they believe there is water damage.  They should be able to show a water sensor that has been affected.
    If still unhappy with the explanation, ask for a manager.
    IF that does not get a satisfactory resolution, contact Apple customer care.

  • I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

    I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

    I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
    The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
    You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
    Select the folder Music > iTunes  in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill  pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

    I have an apple tv  about two years old. Bought for a present and they never took it. I tried to hook it up cut it get stuck on setting time and date. Any help?

    If you can view the main home screen, try selecting "settings" on the far right, then choose recent at the bottom. If not, try just unplugging power for a few minutes, then plug in and try again. Keep in mind you'll need a wireless connection and there may be several updates. Hope this helps-

  • Changing my Apple ID and its associated email address

    For the past 6 years or so I have used the same Apple ID and email. It started out as an Aol account and is now my [email protected] as my Apple ID. I want to change my Apple ID and its associated email account to Gmail since that is what I use more often now. I see the option to change Email Address has next to it "This will be your new Apple ID", which is exactly what I want to do. I have two questions:
    1) I will change the Email Address field to my Gmail address. Will this create any sort of confusion with the DRMed songs and videos I purchased in the past?
    2) For posting on these discussion boards I have yet another Apple ID (created kind of by mistake, a long story). Is there any way I can merge the two?

    I attempted to do the the same (similar) thing yesterday (Sept 2nd, 2010).
    I wanted to change my current Apple ID used for iTunes Store (which was created years ago when I bought my wife an iPod) to be my Apple ID (created when I joined the Apple Developer program way before iTunes).
    After changing the information and clicking the "Done" button, I received an error message that was positioned on the "Apple ID" box, which stated "this is not a valid email address". I assumed that the "email pattern filter" was erroneously attached to the Apple ID input box, so I contacted iTunes Store Customer Support.
    *iTunes Store Customer Support response:*
    +I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, since "<my.user.name>" is already an Apple ID it cannot be used for another iTunes account. At this point, it can only become it's own iTunes account.+
    I'm posting my followup question below, in case anyone on the forum has these same questions or has any experience with actually doing what Apple proposed - create a new account to be used with an existing iTunes Library - and has any experiences they might wish to share.
    *My followup question to iTunes Store Customer Support (waiting for reply):*
    So, what are the implications of creating a new (second) iTunes account?
    - Will I keep my same iTunes Library (i.e. Will all previous items be visible, when using the new account to purchase items)?
    - How will this affect devices (iPhone, iPod) that are synched to the current iTunes Library?
    So, I guess what I'm asking is; "How tightly coupled is the iTunes "account" information bound to the Library"?
    I don't want to create a situation where:
    - My iPhone and Apps gets wiped out when I sync because it sees a different "account name".
    - My Library looks like I have "zero" items (Music/Videos/Playlist) because I've logged into iTunes with a different "account name"
    I'm attempting to only change the iTunes Apple ID and email associated with the account for purchasing items through the iTunes Store. I want to preserve all other aspects of the current set up.
    Is this possible?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

    If when you connect the iPod to your computer yu can't make a backup:
    - Contact a data recovery company
    - Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos
