TS1741 New remote with Apple TV 1

I lost my remote for my Apple TV 1 but I bought a New one and I didn't responde. What can I do now?

I'm experiencing a similar problem, does this sound familiar?
To begin with after installing a brand new Apple TV the "Menu" button on the remote was the only button that worked.  I could managed a few menu button functions like pair remote (Menu & Right) and reset (Menu & Down) but that's it.  I couldn't select a language, a wi-fi network or even get to the settings menu.  I had picture (albeit a menu screen) and sound (albeit just beeps when I press the menu button) but NO control.
The next day I tried again only to find improved but still intermittent functionality which ceased part way through configuration.  So frustrating trying to enter Apple Id, password and wi-fi network codes with the remote working only intermittently!
Can anyone help Carolin and I out???

    Do you mean you've replaced your remote and it wont work because your AppleTV is paired to your lost remote?
    If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1555 has you covered.

    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).

  • Apple's New Remote with PowerBooks?

    Hello,
    I really love the new remote from Apple for their iMac. But, can I use the remote and the new software to control my PowerBook? I would love to control my iTunes on my computer while sitting across the room.
    Thanks!
    Michael

    It is possible to get front row and photobooth to work with ANY mac. im sure apple will not approve of this. but i did a bit of tinkering and found a way. uses escape, enter, and arrow keys. still trying to figure out how to get photobooth to work. i use my logitech mx laser mouse, which i can define the buttons with. so its like a remote, but it does everything, and its RF, so you dont have to be in the line of sight.

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • Using multiple iPhone remotes with Apple TV

    Hi
    Anyone knows how to use two iPhones 4  as remotes with one same Apple TV device ? I am using iTunes 10.5.0.142 on my computer. Home sharing is turned on and I can access my iTunes library with both iPhones. Home sharing on Apple TV is turned on. Each iPhone has the remote application with home sharing turned on. However, only one iPhone can also access control Apple TV as a remote.
    The iPhone that not working as a remote is the one using using a different apple id that the iTunes account. Turning on the remote app, you can find the shared iTunes library ... but not the Apple TV device. What am I missing ?
    I read a similar post from 2010 but did not help.
    Thanks

    I have four iphones and two iPads using the remote app with our apple tv. When this sort of thing happens usually I turn off wifi on the one that's not responding, close Remote then turn both of the, back on. Sometimes it takes more than one try.

  • Workaround for remote with Apple TV + Mac Mini media server?

    We have to keep unplugging and then replugging our Apple TV 2 any time we want to use our Mac Mini media server instead of the Apple TV on our home entertainment system. Alas, the lack of a power button.
    The reason we have to do this is because the remote control signals are identical for the two units; we're using Plex TV on the Mac Mini, and when we use our universal remote, if the Apple TV is on, then unintended things happen in the background on the Apple TV any time we control the Plex media server. Ack. We could end up buying a video that we don't want.
    What workarounds are there, to avoid plugging and unplugging the Apple TV, if we want to keep using a remote control with both the Apple TV and with the Mac Mini media server? I understand that plugging and unplugging it is not desireable.
    On the other hand, we do shut off power completely to our entire entertainment system, via the power conditioner, when we're not using it, to conserve. I suppose that's equivalent to plugging and unplugging the Apple TV?
    Your thoughts?

    I know its been 17 months since anyone replied to your post, but I stumbled upon your request, because I had the same issue. However, I can faithfully say that I solved this same problem, because I inadvertendly programmed my MX-980 remote to control my Apple TV and Mac Mini at the same time and didn't realize until much later what was happening. I use my Mac Mini (for the purpose of using PLEX) and my Apple TV for other purposes. Here's a discussion I had over at remotecontrol.com about it.
    The solution for you is have two Apple remotes. You can buy an extra apple remote at a good price over at Amazon.
    Out of box, the apple remote is designed to pair with your Mac and Apple TV as long as pairing is enabled on those machines by default. However, it's the consumer's responsibility to physically pair that remote with the machine you want to control so it can't control any other machine. That's the trick you were missing...
    So, if you have an Apple TV and Mac Mini next to each other -- a single Apple Remote will control BOTH machines at the same time out of box. This is not the intended result as you have indicated. Therefore you need two apple remotes.
    Mac Mini: Once you have two apple remotes, go to your Mac Mini (OSX 10.9) and select under the Apple menu > Preferences > Security > General > Click unlock (bottom left corner) first > sign in > Then click Advanced... to see the Pairing process. If you click advanced *before* you click unlock icon, the pairing menu will be missing.
    Note: You can also install free CandleAir preference for your Mac which is a slick interface for configuring apple remotes faster and easier IMHO. http://www.iospirit.com/labs/candelair/
    Apple TV: Now take your second Apple Remote, go to Apple TV > Preferences > General > Remote and follow the on screen instructions to properly pair your remote control.
    This should solve your problem.

  • I've had to change my email address so I registered the new one with apple, but how do I transfer the credit on my old account?

    I registered my itunes account under my email address but when I changed it I cant seem to transfer my apps across or credit. To make matters worse my new computer states there is a new iphone update out and to install it will erase all apps and music.
    There must be a way to transfer my apps and credit to my new apple account surely?

    1. Sign out of old ID
    2. Sign in with new ID
    Settings>AppStore>Apple ID

  • Connecting remotely with Apple wireless keyboard, ARD 3.5, and Lion

    I don't know if the keyboard issue is related but here is my problem:
    1. I have used Vine Server with .NET VNC viewer for years and iTeleport for close to a year to remote to my iMac. Vine Server stopped working after I upgraded to Lion so I bought Apple Remote Desktop 3.5 and installed it.
    2. I can connect once, but after I disconnect, I can no longer connect using iTeleport; instead, it tries for a long time then gives a timeout error. After I restart the Mac then I can reconnect, but only if I restart from the login screen or the Apple menu; if I use either "sudo reboot", or "sudo shutdown -r now", then I still cannot reconnect. I cannot test this behavior using .NET VNC viewer because it is a 30 minute drive away.
    3. When I try to connect using .NET VNC, I get an error that the server is not a VNC server; however, I have never managed to attempt to connect at a time when I could connect using iTeleport.
    4. When I connect using iTeleport where I can see my Mac, the Mac dispays the message that it cannot find a bluetooth keyboard. This message does not appear on my iPad screen, but it does display on the Mac's monitor any time I attempt to connect using iTeleport whether or not the connection is successful.
    5. The behavior is the same whether I connect through the local wifi or over the internet.
    6. I have never been able to connect using the iTeleport connect utility that comes with iTeleport.
    Right now, I would be happy if there were a special restart command that I could execute over ssh that does the same thing as clicking the restart button on the Mac. Does anybody have an Idea how I can get this working again? Driving home to reboot every time I need to remote in is not an option.

    Thanks for the quick reply Skydiver! So...I really should buy a second wireless keyboard so that I don't have to go through the hassle of re-pairing the keyboard when i switch devices, yes? Yes, I believe I've answered my own question as I now sit here with my MBP attempting to pair it to the keyboard. Oy. Taking forever. I don't mind buying a second -- for $69, it seems to be the most efficient thing to do. Now I just need to figure out a way to designate which wireless keyboard goes with which device. Time to buy a little sticker! Thanks again.

  • Authorising a new PC with apple ID

    My old PC is defunct and I am unable to turn it on. I need to authorise my apple ID to link with a new PC and I am unable to find where to do this in i-tunes.
    The advice says to go to store or advanced settings from the menu, but neither of these are listed.
    Help. I have lots of purchased songs on my i-phone that I'd like to transfer to i-tunes on the laptop. I can sync, but they are not listed in the menu when I do this so it clearly hasn't worked.

    Do you have a menu bar at the top of your iTunes window?
    Press Alt-S to open the Store Menu.  Then, choose either 'Authorize' or 'Deauthorize'.
    They're only hidden if you chose to have them hidden.

  • Use remote with Apple TV and a second computer but not third

    I can't seem to figure this one out. I have an imac and a macbook pro, the imac connected to the extreme modem and my itunes library is accessible from the apple tv remote control. When I use the remote for the apple tv, Front Row on the macbook pro opens up and when I use the up or down buttons on the remote, Front Row responds. Somehow the remote is sending a signal to the macbook pro/Front Row. How can I stop this from happening? Any ideas are welcome..
    GH

    The macbook pro is responding to the tv remote. You can fix this by disabling the infrared remote receiver on the MBpro.
    Go to System Preferences > Security > General Tab > Click the padlock and supply the admin password > Check "Disable remote control infrared receiver.

  • If I buy a new macbook with Apple, will they help me install a dual operating system?

    I've heard Bootcamp does this, but I've never owned a Mac before, and am daunted by the change. I would love a Mac for ease of use, as many of my friends seem to love it, but for school purposes, my PC laptop is better. My PC needs to be updated, though, and I really want to spring for the Mac, I just don't want to lose being able to not have to do my homework in a computer lab. A friend has dual operating systems on hers, and says it works beautifully for running both, though I don't know what macbook she's got. If I go to an Apple store and get a laptop from them, even bring the Windows 7 operating system (I'm NOT doing Windows 8), will they help do this for me? Does anyone know if it is alright to have the dual systems, or if it takes away from the hardware's ability to work? ANY advice is welcome.

    It  is not hard. Boot Camp allows running Windows natively, same as on a laptop PC would be with a few differences in fan and thermal control and drivers.
    Once installed natively which would be dual-boot setup, you can then install and use VMware or Parallels to assign the Windows partition for use as a VM inside OS X, no more need to dual boot unless you want to.
    All of the information can be printed out from Boot Camp Assistant utility, or from the support help page and link to the manual:

      Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions costs US$19.95.
