Remote will not pair

I'm going crazy here... my Apple TV Remote will not pair. I was trying to "reset" the Apple TV, but I guess I held down the wrong combination of buttons. I now have an unpaired remote that won't pair.
When I hold down "Menu+Next" I get a solid amber light after about 3 seconds. This actually happens if I hold any button/ button combinations down for 3 or more seconds.

Perhaps this will help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304977
In summary:
1. Unpair the remote by holding down the Previous/Rewind (|<<) and Menu buttons for 6 seconds (this can be done using any Apple remote).
2. Then pair the remote by simultaneously holding down the Next/Fast-Forward (>>|) and Menu buttons for 6 seconds

  • Keynote remote will not pair with ipad after update to 10.7.2-bluetooth issue or remote app issue?

    Noticed keynote remote will not pair after updating.  Bluetooth light flashes a couple of times then goes off.  I'm wondering if it's a bluetooth issue or a keynote remote app issue.
    Any suggestions or remedies?
    thanks

    Then again, it may not.
    I've tried all the things recommended in the Apple KB article, and it doesn't work.  Mulderscully is right, in the recent iOS 5 upgrade, Bluetooth is not turned on (at least, its symbol is not visible) from within Keynote even if you turned it on in the Settings menu.  Posts in another thread recommended using another app to establish a Bluetooth connection between the iPad and iPod (I used Touch Rummy), then switching back to Keynote and Keynote Remote.  This does work for me, but it is an awkward workaround.  Shouldn't 'It just work'?

  • Remote will not pair - Tiger, PPC, latest iTunes, not firewall issue

    Need some advice in case anyone has run across the same problem. I cannot get the Remote code screen to pop on in iTunes to let me enter the code to pair the library. I have tried it all and searched these forums. I've ensured all the ports are open, I've disabled the firewall and I have checked the router settings as well. I am at a loss and would really like to see this work.
    Anyway, I have 10.4.11 with iTunes 7.7 and the iPhone 2G with 2.0 software and everything as updated as possible. My network seems to be fine as I am able to share my iTunes library with other devices such as my xbox 360 using Connect 360. If anyone has any suggestions please reply. Thank you for your help!

    I was having the exact same problem- after some playing around I found a work around.
    *From here:*
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1621833&tstart=0
    1. Check your firewall settings per other threads on this topic +(Sys Prefs -> Security -> Firewall -> Allow All)+
    2. Create an ad-hoc network on your computer (temporarily, don't worry)
    +-Click the airport symbol on the top bar -> Create network -> Give it a name and select the defaults.+
    3. Connect your iPod/iPhone to that network and attempt to pair with your iTunes through Remote as normal +(it should work now- they are connected directly to each other at this point!)+
    4. Reconnect your laptop and iPod/iPhone to your regular wireless network
    5. Re open Remote and it should automagically still work!
    I hope that helps!

  • HT3176 my apple remote will not link to my appletv even after changing the battery

    my apple remote will not link to my appletv even after changing the battery.  can anyone help?

    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.

  • My remote will not connect to my Apple TV!

    I cannot get my remote to connect to my apple tv. I had hooked up the remote app and am able to use my iPad to connect but my remote will not connect. We thought it was the battery but I got a new one and it still won't connect.
    HELP!!
    thanks!Michael

    I would love to do that. My remote does not react when I try to pair it. I get nothing. Ive tried to do the reset where you hold the menu and the FF buttons for six secs and nothing.
    Ive changed the battery. nothing is working.
    I don't know what to do.
    It was working fine before, then it just stopped.
    thanks!

  • My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will  not pair?  I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac.  Can someone help please?

    My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
    There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
    I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
    Can anyone help please?
    My iMac is 20 inch  Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

    Hi All, thank you for you suggestions.  I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp>  which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows.  No mention of iMac!  although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
    I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
    Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
    thanks again.

  • 10.6 client will not 'Pair' to 10.5.8 Xserve

    I am running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 on an Xserve (intel).
    I have setup a brand new user who is running as a Mac OS X 10.6.4 client (new Mac)
    Under the users account settings on the Mac (System Preferences > Accounts), the 'server account' option appears but will not accept the password / will not 'Pair'.
    I have tried the following on the Xserve:
    Delete user
    Change user password
    Check user services
    I have tried the following on the User's Mac:
    server user short name
    server user full name
    retyped password
    upper and lowercase
    The user can connect to the Xserve's shares with no problem in the Finder using the given username and password (the same as their Mac user account), however I would also like them to be able to use the Open Directory services on the server (initially Time Machine).
    Nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem on the Xserve. Is there a trick to make it work?
    I would like to get this working soon as the user is now falling short of their Time Machine backups!

    We have this working without any problems (on a LAN with one subnet). Try add a new account on another machine for that user and log on from there. Also try the converse - add an account that you know works on the client machine that will not connect.

  • My remotes are not paired yet my remote is going with my computer and tv every time i move something on my tv it moves on my computer

    My apple tv remote is not paired. So when I go to scroll on my tv it turns my computer up or turns music up? What am I doing wrong?

    Pairing is a bit confusing.
    Remotes know nothing about pairing, only the devices do.
    The assumption is that a remote has a 'serial number' which is emitted with the IR command.
    If the device/computer is paired with a remote it ignores commands from remotes with different 'serial numbers'.
    Therefore an unpaired device responds to any remote whether or not it's paired to a particular device.
    Options:
    1 - pair the computer with a different remote and AppleTV with it's own remote.
    2 - Disable IR receiver on computer - in Snow Leop[ard go to System Preferences>Security and on teh general tab you can disable remotes.  Not sure if the preference is somewhere else in Lion or still there.

  • Bluetooth will not pair with Moto Droid4

    My Droid4 has will not pair with either my "Verzion" Jabra VBT-4050 nor my Jawbone Icon.  Both these earpieces paired with this phone before, but will not now.
    Makes no sense to me.
    Thanks...Andy

        westa510b,
    That can certainly be confusing since it previously paired just fine with your device. We will be happy to take a closer look at this matter with you. Have you attempted to reboot the device? Tried deleting the bluetooth connection from the device, then re-establishing connection? Any changes recently to the devices software or additions of an application when you first noticed this issue began?

  • Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

    Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
    Puzzled and frustrated,

  • Remote will not scroll down.

    After downloading an update, the remote will not scroll down.  Unable to do anything except buy iTunes movies.

    If it's a mighty mouse with the trackball on top, turn it over and rub the ball vigorously on a sheet of paper or microfiber cloth.  The debris jamming the rollers should break free.

  • My Droid2 Global will not pair to My Ford SYNC since the latest software update.  Please help!

    Since the latest update, my Droid2 will not pair to my Ford SYNC.  The phone will not find SYNC for me to place in the PIN.  It use to work wonderful before the latest update.  
    I can not drive and talk on my phone without SYNC.  Corporate Car- Corporate Policy.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello rosalee2340,
    Thank you for sharing your concern as I am more than happy to assist you! Are you able to successfully pair your Droid 2 with another bluetooth device, like an earpiece or a computer? This will help us determine if there is an issue with the bluetooth technology after the software update or is it a compatibility issue. Also, what year and model vehicle do you have? In order to successfully pair with the vehicle, the Droid 2 must be in discovery mode. Below is a link to walk thru placing the Droid 2 into discovery mode.
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=34745
    Once the phone is in discovery mode, the next step would be to attempt to pair with SYNC again. Here is a video link with the steps on how to pair a phone with SYNC.
    http://syncsupport.ford.com/servlet/technology/connect-phone-sync
    If the pairing is unsuccessful then you can contact the dealership for assistance with the pairing process and/or for an updated device compatibility list of phone. Let me know how the steps above works out for you.
    Thank you...
