Why do Apple TV remotes stop working?

Why did my Apple TV remote stop working?

Mine isn't working either.  Just changed the battery a couple weeks ago.  It was working fine yesterday, now it won't work at all.  I also tried resetting the Apple TV and pairing the remote (holding down menu and rewind for 6 seconds close to the device).  Anyone?

    My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

    Hi Ron.
    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 apple TV has stopped working completely.  Just a flashing Amber light

    My Apple TV has stopped working.  When it is turned on I just get a flashing amber light and it does not turn blue as normal.  It doesn't connect wirelessly to my Mac and it doesn't connect to the TV.  I do not get the setup menu and it is totally unresponsive to the remote control.  I have tried connecting it directly to my Mac but this also does nothing.  I am at a loss as to what to do next.  I have a lot of films and music stored on it and I am worried that I have lost it all.  I am not sure which generation it is, but it is the silver one, model number A1218.  Can anyone help?

    Unfortunately, it sounds as though your Apple TV 1 has failed. Unlike the later Apple TVs, you cannot connect it to iTunes to restore it.

  • Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

    I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
    I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
    So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
    I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
    Details -
    4th Generation
    I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
    I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
           (e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
    881 MB are still left
    Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

    I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
    1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
    2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
    3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
    all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
    4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
    5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
    6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
    If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
    7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box  "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
    8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
    9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
    10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
    Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

  • Remote stops working when I insert DVD

    Since I got my computer two years ago, every once in a while the remote stops working. I go in to System Preferences and disable the infrared receiver, and it works again. In the last week, the remote has stopped working every time I insert a DVD. Pairing or unpairing the remote makes no difference.

  • Apple push as stopped working

    I have this message when i shut down itunes"apple push as stopped working" since i download itunes 11, alos my remote doesn't work properly

    See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16502356
    To summarize that thread, a workaround for this problem is to set APSDaemon.exe to always run as an administrator. Here's how to do it in Windows 7 (Vista should be almost exactly the same).
    Browse to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support"
    Right-click on APSDaemon.exe
    Under the Compatibility tab, check "Run this program as an administrator"

    Why would my "send" button stop working while I am messaging another ipad3? The send button is still blue.

    Hi Freedom666,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue (receiving mail from Gmail to iPad, sending mail from iPad to Gmail, or both). If you are having issues sending or receiving mail on your iPad, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:

  • TS3623 purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working.  I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available.  I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!

    purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working.  I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available.  I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • Apple tv mirroring stops working

    I just installed my new Bell modem SageMCom 2684 and my Apple TV mirroring stopped working properly--it freezes in less than a minute when I mirror a MacBook Pro.  My TV, Apple TV, & Bell modem are relatively close. I disabled  WMM, but no luck. I connected my old router to the modem & connected the Mac & aTV to the same wireless network, but the performace remained bad.  I updated aTV's software, but no luck.  Is this really a a Wi-Fi network problem, or an issue with Apple devices???  Thanks.
