Remote iPhone App Slow to "Find" Apple TV

In the past few days, the Remote iPhone and iPad app have been slow to "find" our Apple TV (3rd Generation). It can take up to 3 minutes to connect to the Apple TV and sometimes only "finds" it after I unplug/plug in the Apple TV.
I have restarted our wireless router, tested the network connection on Apple TV, double checked that Home Sharing is turned on (though, admittedly, sometimes it is not able to find my Library), turned Apple TV on/off multiple times as sometimes it is the only way I can get the remote app to find the Apple TV.
The Apple TV remote seems totally dead. I never got a low battery message, but while the iPhone and iPad are listed as "paired remotes" in the Settings, the regular Apple TV remote is not listed at all. I tried to pair it (holding menu+right) but nothing happens. The Apple TV doesn't flash or anything when I try to use the aluminum remote.
Thanks for any other ideas to troubleshoot.

SOLVED for me by restarting my iPhone 5. Power off completely and powering back on.

I set up "Find My Iphone App" using the same apple id and password on two iphones. Now the app only finds the phone that I did the setup on first. Do I need a different apple id and password on each phone for the app to run correctly?

I setup two iphones on "Find My Iphone App" Using the same apple id on each phone. Now the app finds only the phone I setup first. Do I need to use two different apple ids? If your answer is yes then how do I errase the setup in the second phone and assign a new id?

As TJBUSMC1973 states, and as I said earlier, the Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with your use of Find My iPhone. The app is just used if necessary to locate another iOS device from that particular iOS device. To see if both of your devices are being located in Find My iPhone, log into www.icloud.com and select Find My iPhone. Both of the devices should appear. If they do not, then go into whichever of the devices does not appear and make sure that Find My iPhone is activated. It has to be activated through iCloud, and for both to show on the same map, they both have to have the same iCloud ID.

Logic Remote iPad app can not find my iMac.

I have tried every thing suggested on here to try and fix this but the Logic Remote iPad app can't find my iMac running Logic Pro X.
They are on the same Wi-Fi network, I've disabled the firewall, turned on file sharing, deleted and reconnected to my Wi-Fi on both my iMac and my iPad, removed all other CS's etc etc etc. Any thoughts about anything I may not have tried?
Thanks!

Check your WiFi router (which one do you use?) has multicast enabled,,,,
If it is...

Do deleted iphone apps slow down the iphone?

Do deleted iphone apps slow down the iphone?
When I delete an app off my iPhone 4s, does the cookie or "what ever is left of it" slow down the iPhone at all?
Thanks

No. Apps are all self-contained, so nothing will be left after you delete an app. And even if you leave the app on the iPhone, unless it's running it doesn't slow down your iPod.
This is the iPod touch forum, by the way. Just FYI for future questions.

Trouble adding printer to HP ePrint Home and Biz iPhone app - can't find printer's email address

I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart c6380 to my iPhone. I already downloaded the app and my printer is connected to my wireless network, as is my iPhone, but I can't add my printer to the app.
When I go to "Manage ePrinters" and try to add a printer with the + button I see 3 choices:
Add ePrinter from list: "No ePrinters available"
Add Manually: I can't find the printer's email address even using the instructions found at the ePrint center.
Add from WiFi Network: My printer isn't shown in this list so it does not support auto discovery.
So I'm guessing that if I could just find my printer's email address that would connect it to my iPhone for wireless printing, but I can't for the life of me find it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello amybett,
I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that your printer is not Airprint/ePrint capable. However, the good news is that with the HP ePrint Home and Biz iPhone app it does not need to be Airprint/Eprint capable, as long as it is connected to the same network as your phone.
Here are the steps you will want to take to print something:
1. Setup the app by completing the email registration and entering the code (which I believe you have).
2. Select the item you wish to print using the menu in the app (Photo Albums, Saved Files, Web Browser, etc.).
3. Once you select the item you should see the item and a large "Print" button under it.
4. If the printer you want to print to is not listed above the "Print" button, select the icon on the right (wrench/computer) and select the printer you wish to use (along with other settings).
5. Tap on the "Back" button in the top left corner, then tap "Done" (blue button in the top right corner), and then tap the "Print" button to print your item.
Let me know if you are still having trouble after following the guide above.

Generic IR remote iPhone app?

I just switched to a 27" iMac, and discovered that my old mac's IR remote is useless with it. Got the Apple Remote app from the app store, which works fine with iTunes, but I need a more general purpose app that will let me use my iPhone as a remote while using iDVD, etc. Any recommendations from those who have gone there before me?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), iPhone 5c, 5s

Remote mouse seems to be what I was looking for: turns your iPhone into a mouse pointer. For a little extra, you get a media player control that duplicates the old IR remote. Sweet!

NASA TV iphone app NO video ios6 apple tv3

The NASA TV app for iPhone and IOS6, Apple TV3 used to run video fine through airplay to my HDTV. Now only sound comes through. The video does not come through ATV3 at all. Live video from sources such as NBC run fine. Everything is up to date on the iPhone, ATV3. NASATV app has not been updated in a while.
ONLY thing that has changed from when it worked is ATV3 firmware updates. Can anyone confirm (not guess) it is an app problem with the ATV3?
If the app, what link or email to contact for the APP. Can't find one and NASA is a liitle big.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have never had a problem with Airplay and my CBS app until the other day. I am wondering if an update has caused an issue or if they have done this on purpose. Although I am not happy to be having an issue, I am glad to see that it's not just me. Keep me posted if you figure it out!

Iphone app can't find my iPhone

I did the search but did not really find any answer.
Situation is:
two different iPhones each runing latest software
both are connected to iCloud for "find my phone"
Phone A can not find itself using the Find My Phone app.
Phone B can find itself but can't find A
Phone A can find B
seems like A is not going to iCloud as it should but have turned it off and on several times in iCloud
Check several settings and made sure A and B were on the internet
Restrictions are off
Locations are all the same on each phone.
Have cancelled iCloud on A and re-established.
This is a real stumper.
Any help or input will be greatly appreciated.

Display wakes when Remote iPhone app connects to iTunes

Ever since I installed Lion, I've noticed that now whenever I use the Remote app on my iPhone to connect to my iTunes library, it wakes my iMac's display. When I had Snow Leopard installed, the display would remain asleep, no matter what actions I took with the Remote app. Now, just having the app connect to my iTunes library wakes my iMac's display from sleep--kind of annoying when you want to listen to music to go to sleep.
Since this is occuring with the same iMac, iPhone and same version of Remote, I have to assume it's Lion specific.
Anyone else having these issues?

Yep. I am having the same exact issue. Except it started for me with iTunes 10.4 before I ever upgraded to Lion. I was kind of hoping that Lion would fix it. I too listen to music going to sleep and would really like the Remote app NOT to wake up my display, illuminating my entire room.

Has anyone developed an iPhone app or website for Apple's patent Virtual Closet yet?

I put a link in the question bar to one of Apple's patents called the virtual closet. The details of the patent are disclosed here. I think this would be a great idea that needs to be developed quickly. http://tylermj23.hubpages.com/hub/Virtual-Closet-Apples-Patented-Idea

From the website you linked to:
"After perusing on patentlyapple, I discovered that it is a website consisting of ideas and inventions created by Apple engineers and inventors that have all been patented so that others cannot develop the same ideas."
Due to the natureof the website/patent, theres absolutely no way your ever going to know if Apple is developing it until they decide to announce it. And since the site is dedicated to patents that Apple has been granted "So that others cannot develop the same ideas", nobody here (non-apple employees) would even be able to do so if we wanted to.

Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

The Find My IPhone app is used to find OTHER lost devices, it does nothing to make your device "findable". To make it findable, you must turn on "Find My IPhone" in settings. And than you need location services on. This however does not guarantee that you'll always find it if lost. A thief can set it to factory settings, even remove the sim card. Then it'll be unfindable.
