Remote for Apple TV

I lost my Apple TV remote and now my iPad will not work as a remote. It's telling me to turn on home sharing from my Apple TV.. But I can't without remote. Help

go to setting > general > remotes... you can teach appleTV the commands on your remote.

  • Universal Remote For Apple TV/Bose Solo/DVD Player??

    Hello!!
    Question's on the title, i've seen that the best remote for Apple TV is this:
    LOGITECH HARMONY 700 REMOTE
    Though all that said, i would have NO idea on how to set it up.
    However, would it be also possible to link up the Bose Solo!? I know it's a long shot of asking, i just want to see if anyone here knows a thing or two about it!
    Thanks!

    I use the harmony one it control my appletv, sony tv, sony receiver, dab radio and satelite box
    without any problems
    one "program" it using a website in a browser or some logitech program depending on the model

  • 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

  • Lost remote for Apple Tv 1st generation.

    Hi,
         I've lost my remote for my 1st generation Apple TV and can no longer navigate through the menus.  Can the 1st generation remotes still be purchased. If so where??!  If not can a different remote work to navigate through the menus of a 1st generation Apple TV.  I've tried a 2nd generation remote and it did not navigate through the menus but did make the light on the 1st generation Apple TV come on when I tried to push the buttons.  I've downloaded remote apps. on my iPhone, but without the remote for the 1st generation Apple TV I was not apple to navigate through the Apple TV menus to sync up the iPhone remote app.  Any assistance would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Actually you can use the remote app to control the first generation Apple TV, but you'd need the supplied remote to set it up.
    You don't need the first generation remote, the remote for the second generation model will control either model.
    So assuming you still have your remote for your second generation Apple TV you could configure the first generation Apple TV with it to work with the remote app on the iPad and not need to buy a new remote at all. But if you do buy a new remote, the one sold in the store will be just fine.

  • How to upgrade First Generation Touch to use Remote for Apple TV

    Hello and thanks in advance.
    Can anyone tell me how to upgrade the OS for a 1st Generation iPod Touch so that it can use the Remote App from I tunes to control the Apple TV device. It needs to be the 3.1.2 version, but Apple seems to offer only 3.1    I found the 3.1.2 version on a non-apple site and attempted to download and install it but it didn't work out. (Error 14). I was expecting to control the TV with my 1G Touch and am a little disappointed with Apple that the older Touch units seemingly cannot do this.  Any help appreciated.

    You can buy 3.1 thru iTunes then use it to upgrade to 3.1.3.

  • Imac as a remote for apple tv sync'ed audio

    Hey guys,
    Ive got a setup that i'm looking to maximise. the setup i'm running is an apple tv gen1/itunes with some audio sync'ed to the HDD on the apple tv. I know the 'remote' app for my iphone lets me control playback, but was wondering if in app existed to use my imac as a remote. The reason i dont want to use airplay is that some of the lossless files that are streamed to the apple tv get cut during playback.
    thanks
    Chris  

    Winston,
    due to the file size that lossless files are, combined with an overused wifi network, sometimes playback is choppy.
    looking into maybe going a wired route through the optical out of my imac to a DAC to my amp....

  • How to pair a new remote for Apple TV First Gen Without the Old Remote?

    We bought the first generation apple tv when it first came out. When we got it, it came with the old small plastic remote. A few years back we lost the plastic remote and decided to one of the new metal remotes but 1 problem. We can pair the new remote with the old apple tv without the old remote.
    If anyone knows a work around to this problem... that would be great. Thanks.

  • My aluminum remote for Apple TV no longer seems to connect to the Apple TV receiver; I've changed the battery, but w/o success

    My aluminum remote does not appear to connect with the Apple TV receiver; I've changed the battery.  I can turn on the Apple TV and the opening screen comes up, but the remote doesn't seem to connect...no cursor or movement on the Apple TV screen occurs.

  • 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.
