Using a single remote app to control multiple Apple TVs

Can you use the remote application which is loaded on my IPad 2 to control multiple ATVs independently? If so, how is this done.

Yes you can.
I have a mixture of AppleTV 1 and 2 and several itunes libraries.
The top level screen lists all devices/itunes libraries - when you choose one it enters the control mode for that and app tends to restart with that iTunes library or AppleTV device.  Press icon that looks lie 2 overlapping squares with rounded edges on top left of display to get back to top level screen.

  • Is there a remote app to control my apple tv that I can put on an old iPod touch using iOS 3?

    Is there a remote app to control my apple tv that I can put on an old iPod touch using iOS 3? The only remote app I can find is only comparable with an OS of 7.  Help please!

    Sadly but no.

  • Control multiple apple tv units with 1 remote app

    Is it possible to control multiple apple TV units with 1 remote app on an iPhone/iPad? I have apple tv at home, set up under my own personal apple id. I have an apple tv unit at work which I want to use, but that uses our work apple id. can I control both units without having to log out of my personal id and then log into the work one?

    On the ATV menu itself there is an option to name the ATV.
    Does that not do it for you?

  • HT1947 "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played using the iOS remote app.

    Tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played through the Apple TV using the iOS remote app.  The whole thing seem uber-anti-intuitive.  I am a long time user (as much and anyone is long time for any of this stuff) of the iOS remote app, and ATV to play music though a stereo system.  Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could sit in my chair, start the iPhone remote app, pick a playlist and either start from the beginning, or if the first track didn't grab me at that moment, go ahead and switch to, say, track 6 -- the whole playlist would "sit there" and be available for further browsing.  With the new system, if I hit a playlist the songs will go into "Up Next".  If as I described in the last sentence, the first song is not getting it for me, and I switch to track 6 , the "Up Next" list is lopped off and only tracks 7 onward will be shown.  I can't go back and browse the first 5 tracks (6 actually) -- they're vaporized.  The idea of browsing your own music has been killed; I guess this "Up Next" concept is for folks who like maybe a couple of dozen songs that are picked from different places and want to play them in different orders of something -- it just seems like a crummy idea.  If under the scenario I described I want to go back and play that first (or second through fifth) song on the original playlist, I have to go out and fish it out of the library somehow and just keep messing around and around.  There have been times when I didn't know what the heck was going to come out of the speakers.  It seems like the remote user has not been considered in the "dramatically improved" iTunes 11", with the "cleaner user interface" .  To me it is "dramatically akin to dog-doo", which, of course is not cleaner than much of anything.  If I can't get this working decently, then I'm really thinking of investigating some other type of system like DLNA.  Any suggestions?

    Same problem here.  I have so many problems with this remote app.  Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

    it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
    Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
    Have you tried it without the headphones?

  • I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple

    I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple TV products and not with my Netflix app-the Home TV icon only shows with Apple products.
    I had hoped that I could use my Laptop Pro for unrelated tasks while I watch a movie-I have chosen TV only on the drop down. I dont seem to be able to seperate the two

    The movies do not download onto apple TV it shows them as purchased and you need to stream them down. If you want to show your purchased music on Apple TV you need to sign up for iTunes Match.
    There seem to be a few glitches with iTunes Match so i just use the computer icon to listen to music on my computer through Apple TV. If you have your Movies and TV shows on your computer this is where you will find them.
    The Movies and TV Shows buttons on the main page of Apple TV show you films and tv shows you have purcahsed or cen rent or purchase.
    You can also sync your Photos over as well. Method is slightly different in that in iTunes on the computer
    File > HomeSharing > Choose photos to share with Apple TV

  • HT201397 My "remote" can't control my Apple TV, however apple tv still received signal from "remote"

    My "remote" can't control my Apple TV, however apple tv still received signal from "remote" . Before that I have to press and hold the menu button, then the "remote" icon appeared on the screen.

    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.

  • Multiple Apple TVs on the same network

    I teach at a school and have used an Apple TV in conjunction with my iPad for presentations. I find it invaluable. Other teachers at my school would like to do the same, but I'm told by our tech support that multiple Apple TVs on the same network cause problems. When I ask them what problems, they aren't sure. They just tell me that other school have experienced problems. Other than a wifi bandwidth problem, I can't imagine what kind of problem it would be. A collegue of mine wants to jump onboard but desn't want to make waves. Does anyone know of any problems?

    I have two Apple TV's, one in the living room and one in the bedroom... however, the living room is the only one that my iphone Remote APP is connecting with... I've named/tagged the two ATV's hoping that the Remote APP would provide me the option on which one to control, but it doesn't....
    I've confirmed that home sharing is "on" with in all devices "settings"...
    Any suggestions?

  • Multiple Apple TVs - affect on school broadband

    Hello, I am new to this forum. The school I support now has several Ipads and Apple TVs and the number is growing. Does any one know what impact this may have on broadband. Does using multiple Apple Tvs affect speed etc? Any information re any technical issues of using Apple TV in school would be much appreciated.

    Yes, internal use (iPad to Apple TV) will not affect brodband connectivity.
    The signal from iPad needs to go to WiFi router (or access point) and then back to Apple TV. So it is a bit over kill in busy environments. To easy the WiFi traffic it is advisable to wire Apple TV via ethernet port - this hat to be on the same LAN (VLAN) as the WiFi network.
    Let me know if you have more questions.

  • TS2972 I have signed in with same Apple ID & same network but still can't use Remote app to control my iTunes via iPhone 4s or iPad2.

    I have gone through FAQ and tried all methods and checked settings in my iMac and my iOS devices (iPhone 4s and iPad2) and still can't useRemore app to control iTunes. I have used this app without a problem before with my old iPhone 3 and it worked fine.
    What is wrong with it?

    Other than you have used it before and it worked - can you provide some more details? You don't see your iTunes library in the remote app?
