4th gen Apple TV cannot pair with iphone remote app

Click on 'Add Apple TV' selected on TV, then was invited to enter the 4 numbers matching password shown on television. However the TV shows 4 blocks of gray rectangle instead of 4 digits.

I also checked that the apple TV and iphone are on the last OS update. What gives? This app is supposed to work with 4th gen now.

Yes, it works. This looks like some weird glitch. Using the new application ATV 4 remote control (black), or the older version, now called iTunes remotely? Try restarting the ATV using the settings > system > restart. Then try to pair it again.

  • Apple TV remote turns on randomly 4th Gen Apple TV

    Hi guys,.

    I have a 4th gen Apple TV for Christmas at work. It's pretty convenient, but it's a very weird thing: the remote control sends signals randomly when nobody is in contact with it, in fact, nobody is there, everyone is metres from the remote control. Since Apple TV is connected to my TV which is capable of HDMI-CEC, it also turns on the TV. Sometimes without any model, when we sit in the corner opposite of the same room, or at random times of the day or even at night. Sometimes I go out in the middle of the night to check on our little girl and I see that the TV is on. Apple TV will switch to standby after a certain time, but since it does not send SIGNAL to the TV via CEC, the TV stays on. Sometimes I stop the movie I'm watching something and when I come back, film runs and minutes. This causes me a real headache, not to mention that it also adds the power bills, especially when we leave for a weekend and I come home that the TV is on...

    Did any of you ever heard, or it's a faulty remote with a contact problem around the buttons that need to be replaced? If the first case, how can I fix this, if the latter, will change any Apple retailer for me? There is no Apple store dedicated to Christchurch, New Zealand. My employer has ordered hundreds of Apple TV Online.

    Thank you

    I don't have to assume that someone else uses one of the old silver remotes close to Apple TV or if someone could play a joke on you with a distance more or the Apple remote on their phone app.

    There was a small number of reports related to the buttons on the remote apparently stick and sending several times the same command, but I don't think I've seen all the reports to work intermittently on his own.

    I've seen reports where network activity has awoken from previous models, but never where this kind of activity began a movie plays when he suspended.

    I think that a good start in the resolution of what is going on here is to know if these red orders arrive via bluetooth, IR, or wifi, you could start by covering the unit to the rule (or in) re.

  • 4th gen Apple tv doesn't remember connection

    I bought a 4th gen Apple tv to replace my 2nd generation it about 3 months ago. My girlfriend and I have a id iTunes and one account and both are set up on the new Apple TV. On the older, we could switch between his ID and mine, based on content, we wanted to see (each of buy us our TV shows or movies). With the 4th gen ATV, it requires the password whenever we change my account to hers, and vice versa. How can I configure the ATV to remember (not required) our passwords each time we have ID?

    Maybe it's not possible, see https://help.apple.com/appletv/#/atvb0753b37d. Family sharing might work, but their 'parent' allows you to pay for everything.

  • 4th gen Apple TV WiFi Bridge.

    The 4th gen apple TV can be used as a wireless bridge? I have an Airport Express do this and he's sitting right next to my new Apple TV, just want to get rid of the Express if it is not necessary.

    # The Apple Tv is not a Wifi router.  It cannot act as a bridge.

    The AirPort Express is still necessary.

  • 4th gen Apple TV Wifi issues

    My 4th generation Apple TV has problems with wifi. Every day when the apple TV goes to sleep he loses the credentials of wifi OR it does not attach to my wifi network. I have to use the apple remote to tether to wifi. I tried Gz 2,4 and 5, and I see the same question. I TVOS 9.1.1 (last updated) Apple. I even got a replacement from apple TV and I still see the same question.

    Called apple care and they asked me to change the channel on my router. Even after changing the channel, I still see the same question.

    Concrete results so far.

    1. channel change

    2 tried gz 2,4 and 5

    3. change to apple TV

    4. do you have the latest TVOS (9.1.1)

  • 4th gen apple tv wifi, itunes and airplay problem

    My 4th gen of newly updated apple tv cannot keep a stable wifi connection while other devices can and does not appear on itunes when it is connected to the mac via the usb - c cable. AirPlay video mirroring also often freezes.

    does anyone have a solution to these problems?

  • How to select songs on the 4th gen Apple TV? Really... (OS 10 tv)

    Seriously, is there an EASY way to choose the songs or artist on the Apple TV?

    I can't believe that it should be this hard. I am a subscriber of Apple's music is my iTunes stuff in the cloud and see Apple TV. Everything is good. Random play is ok.

    But when I want to play an album by an artist of some, that's where the trouble begins. I have the music so that if I wanted to play something of an artist who is towards the end of the list, I have to scroll through all along, that takes forever with this remote control (which I hate). I did find a work around. Do you have?

    At first, I couldn't find the name of the artists, that would help a lot of filtering. I couldn't find a way to access some letters to speed up the selection.

    If I accidentally leave the list of artists, then I find myself at the top of the list of return! It hurts...

    Apple TV app on the iPhone is ridiculous. It is only a mirror of the Apple Remote hardware. There is no additional functionality for the collection of the artist or a song directly from there.

    Please don't suggest using a mac or ios device to listen to my music, it's inpractical in my case. Apple TV should justify its price to pay by giving all round independent musicplaying service.

    SO, what would be an EASY way to choose the songs or artist on the Apple TV?

    Really don't know what you're doing, but I'm not all that hard.

    First I will say that in general I just ask siri play an album that she does.

    However there are times where I don't remember the names of all the albums, in such cases (let's go with the stones on this one), I dictate "Rolling Stones" in the search field, select it in the list that appears, and then switch the selection of Apple's music to my library, I have now www all my stones albums that I have in my library listed. If I don't want to dictate, and then usually by typing 'ROL' is sufficient to have "Rolling Stones" appears in the list.

  • backup 4th gen Apple tv

    Hey guys, I was wondering if someone knows a way to backup saves the settings/configuration/game (I suspect saved game could land in the center of games but I have not yet tested this theory) on an ATV 4? I had a peek in iTunes and Apple Configuratior but it doesn't seem to be a way to achieve support Apple, but I understand with the previous versions of the Apple TV, it is not a lot of backup point because there was only limited on the device configuration data and everything else was listening but now that the new Apple TV has the ability to download 3rd party applications where a lot of apps/games have elements that need to backup to have a faculty to allow to save the elements would be very practical advice would be great, I don't mind if you provide a solution supported Apple or 3rd party or how complicated it is that I just want to have a backup with my new method Thanks ATV in advance for taking the time to help me I appreciate it

  • iTunes is paired with three remotes. Win 10

    How to discover what are the 3 remotes?

    I think that the remote controls are devices iOS using the Apple Remote app. You need to pair to control iTunes. I don't think that there is a way to see the device names, the only way to disable the pairing would be to forget all remotes then re-pair the remote app on the devices that you want to access your library
