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.

  • Using multiple wireless speakers with apple TV

    Dear All
    I am loving airplay from my iphone to my apple tv - pandora mainly - is there any way I can have wireless speakers set up to my apple TV so I can get sound throughout my apartment?
    many thanks for any help you can give me
    best

    We used to be able to do this, by the way; the original (white) Apple TV did this, and it was very useful. This is just one of many things, e.g. local storage, that Apple discarded in the "upgrade" to the black model. It's also much less reliable; I have constant problems with the remote app losing contact with the ATV, or taking forever to find it; the ATV claiming that it can't contact the iTunes Store, which is fixed by a reboot; iTunes mysteriously refusing to use certain ATVs via AirPlay while using others which are configured identically (with no error message or indication of what's wrong); etc.
    Apple really screwed up this product, both in terms of features and software quality.

  • Just yesterday using iPhone 5 with Apple TV am no longer receiving sound from the TV. No obvious reason so I need your help to make it work again. Thanks!

    iI'm using my iPhone 5 with Apple TV connected to TV. Yeaterday, when I turned all on, I no loner have sound. Picture and controls seem fine from any source.  TV sound is not muted and always works on cable TV.. I'd appreciate your help in trouble shooting. Thanks!

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Using iPhone  Remote on Apple TV

    i cannot use my Apple iPhone remote on Apple TV because my home sharing account is listed under a non iCloud account on my ATV and under my iCloud account on my iPhone.
    I use my Apple ID non iCloud account for all my content purchases with the iTunes Store. However, my photos, iCloud storage and most other services are under my iCloud account. My iCloud login is what I list on both on iPhone and Apple TV, but the home sharing is linked to my Apple ID on my Apple TV and to my iCloud login on my iPhone. how do I set it up so that they are both listed as one without losing access to my iTunes content  under my Apple ID or photos, storage and other non-purchased content under my iCloud login.

    You don't need itunes open to play content from your tv using the remote app, however if your tv streams its content from itunes then you will need itunes open before your tv can play that content, this applies whether you use the included remote or the remote app.

  • Are there problems using iphone 5 with Apple TV?

    I am having problems getting my iphone to work with Apple TV; specifically, as a remote control device.  My Apple TV works fine with my iPad and the Apple TV remote, but not with my iphone 5.  When I use my iphone 5, the Apple TV experiences breaks and pauses in playback, etc.  Is this a common problem and, if so, is Apple working on fixes for it?  Thanks!

    No one in these user to user support forums would have any way of knowing what Apple is working on unless they announce it.
    I've not seen any other reports in these forums of issues specific to iPhones as you describe, which leads me to believe the issue is with your iPhone or ATV.
    Try basic troubleshooting for the iPhone which is reset, restart, restore.
    Also a restart of the ATV may clear things up.

  • HT4352 Can I use my iPhone as an Apple TV remote? How?

    Can I use my iPhone as an Apple TV remote? How?

    Download Apple's free Remote app from the iOS App Store. Make sure your AppleTV and iPhone are the same network, launch Remote app on iPhone, go into settings on your appleTV and select general > remotes and follow the instructions. You can also use this app to control  iTunes on your computer... Enjoy!

  • I have an iphone 4. I disconnected it from my iTunes account but I am still using the iphone and the Apple ID. If I make a purchase will it work? Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    I have an iphone 4.
    I disconnected it from my iTunes account but I am still using the iphone and the Apple ID.
    If I make a purchase will it work?
    Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    Do you mean that you removed the phone from the 'manage devices' section of your iTunes account ? If you do then that won't stop you being able to purchase items on your phone - you only need to be logged into an account to be able to purchase with it.
    If you do mean the 'manage devices' section then you can associate, or re-associate, a device (or computer) by using iTunes Match, or automatic downloads, or redownloading past purchases on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Iphone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up

    i updated my iphone and when it finished and went to reboot it just stays stuck on the apple symbol it constantly reboots and will never connect to my laptop i dont know what to do if anyone can help please do

    Hi,
    Luca224 & Ingo2711. Thanks for bringing this topic. on 29th Nov. I faced the same problem on my iPhone 3GS 32GB Firmware 3.1.2, iPhone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up. I have tried with 10 Seconds Sleep/wake-up button + home button to reset. But didn't work. Did google about an hour with many blogs. Finally I made a call to 3 iPhone care and spent 30 minutes and explained whatever I have done; iPhone customer care asked me to go to nearby iPhone service center in Sydney. BUT BY LUCK CLICKED ON iTUNE AND GOT THE OPTION FOR ONLINE FORUM FOR APPLE iPHONE. Many many thanks to Ingo2711 who has given the solution link and also thanks to Luca224 , who raised the issue. I feel, this is a common problem with iPhones those who using iPhone 3GS 3.1.2...... but try the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and thanks to Luca224 & Ingo2711. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULY:
    1. Verify you have iTunes 7.5 or later. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    3. Power off the device (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off. _+(in my case - red slider didn't appear, but i pressed the Sleep/Wake button until the iPhone went off, finally it was just off... i was frustrated... tried 3 times with more patience )+_
    4. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB to iPhone, the device should then power on. +_( Do exactly as it says)_+
    Note: If you see the message "Charging... Please Wait" or you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least 10 minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again. +_(True ... for me it happened 3 times)_+
    5. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. +_( I was nearly frustrated at my 3rd attempet; my thumb was hurting as I was holding the home button for few minutes..... but finally it worked yahooooooooooooooooo...... suddenly changed my decision.... about going to 3/Apple service center)_+
    6. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message:
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then disconnect the USB cable from iPhone and repeat steps 3-6.
    Because you must restore iPhone or iPod touch, iTunes will not recover data from the device, but if it was previously synced on the same computer and the same user account, it should restore a backup (if available). See document HT1414, "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software."
    If you are still unable to restore the iPhone using this method, check Apple support for further troubleshooting and/or service options.
    Note: If you sync both an iPhone and an iPod touch to the same computer, make sure you select the correct backup to restore your settings from (don't select an iPhone backup if you have an iPod touch and don't select an iPod touch backup if you have an iPhone).
    **** ( BACKUP FROM YOUR iTUNES : MAC/PC; AS I GOT MY 95% DATA FROM THERE.... GOOD LUCK)******* IF IT WORKS PLEASE POST YOUR EXPERIENCE....*
    THANKS

  • Im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?

    im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?

    Have you worked through the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article?  If not, see if there is info in there that might help.
    Is the WiFi greyed out on all WiFi networks or just the one?  If it does this on all then there may be a hardwaer problem that needs attention from the techs at an Apple store genius bar.
    Before that, however, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.  That clears a lot of iOS hang ups that occur.

  • Armband for iPhone 4 with Apple Bumper

    Any suggestions for a armband for my iPhone 4 with Apple original bumber. Looking for a case for running with the GPS. I don't want to remove the bumper everytime I use the armband.

    I've been using the Tuneband for some time now
    http://www.amazon.com/Tuneband-description-Grantwood-Technologys-Protector/dp/B0 019FEZ88/ref=sr14?ie=UTF8&qid=1293545210&sr=8-4
    If you've already got an inexpensive case, then consider cutting two slots in the back of your case. You can then use a velcro tool strap from one of the big box home improvement stores. It's an identical solution to the Tuneband except without the logo.

  • Have I an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it.

    I have an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it. Thanks.

    Hello,
    Yes, you can use your iPhone 4 with it, but I don't recommend using it with the dock connector as it wasn't designed for the iPhone 4 and you may have unexpected results.
    I recommend using it with the auxilliary jack on the back of the unit.  That's how I use mine and it works great to this very day.  The iPod-Hifi is still an amazing and great sounding unit and they're incredibly rare to find now of days.  I saw one on sale at Amazon.com for $999 haha!

  • Im havingtrouble pairing a new apple remote with apple.tv. Any suggestions? Have followed directions so far.

    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).
