Apple TV remote is broken and is too Fragile

Somebody else broke their Apple TV remote Siri with the 4th generation unit? This thing is too fragile and needs to be addressed.

I was sitting on my couch and pushes, the slippery remote slipped on my couch and on the floor of 2 feet. He completely broke the touchscreen on the remote control. Pretty ridiculous. Now, I need to spend $80 on a new remote? No thanks...

It is a beautiful design of remote use, but the real world has not taken into account. I had remote controls 20 years ago that I dropped, trampled and thrown, and they work fine. Apple needs to review this issue and realized that abuse remotes take. A 2 ft. all on a floor should not cost you $80.

SHAME on YOU APPLE for the construction of such a fragile that taking advantage of the situation to sell it for $79 + tax $

This kind of attitude will slip from the top to the bottom of the market.

SO SO DISAPPOINTED!

  • Apple tv remote and my mac mini

    I have recently set up a TV and use it for my mac mini, as well as my apple tv.  The apple TV remote seems to exploit both the apple tv and mac mini.  I'm trying to find a way to stop the operation of the mac mini remote control.  I matched the remote with apple TV, but it still seems to cause of my mac mini leave the sleep and open iTunes so I'm trying to browse my apple tv apps and look at something.

    I checked the settings on my mac mini and is States there is 'no distance not matched' with the computer, then, how can I stop the operating distance of the computer?

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    If you don't want to use a remote control with your computer, the best thing to do is just turn off the IR. (System preferences > Security > general, click on the Advanced button in the lower right corner - if the button is dimmed, click the lock icon and enter your administrators password)

    If you want to continue using your remote computer, then you must match your remote computers with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with Apple TV.

    To match a remote control with a device hold down menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see an icon of the chain on screen (better take the computer in another room, or turn it off, when you do)

  • Apple TV remote siri

    Apple tv remote siri don't pair after the factory restore. Held down menu more volume and getting no response. Remote control is responsible because I can reset apple tv.

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    1. Have you tried reloading the remote control.
    2. Have you tried pressing the menu and the button for a few seconds while it now an inch or two away from the Apple TV, if successful, you should see a message on the screen saying the remote was paired.
    3. If you have an older remote from a previous model MacBook or Apple TV, you can use to restore the Apple TV, which, in many cases, has been sufficient to reactivate the remote Siri. You must complete all upward to undertake a restoration.
    4. If you have a USB cable - C you can try to restore by connecting it to iTunes on a computer.
    5. If you have tried all of these steps, don't have a distance sooner or a USB - C cable or their use is too inconvenient, return it to the store where purchased for a replacement, or to couple for you.
  • Apple TV remote control glass broke when dropped

    Recently, my husband bought our second Apple TV, an upgrade of the first edition, we have purchased four years ago. We are customers of long-time Apple and have always possessed several Apple products. We both like the updates to the new Apple TV with the exception of the remote control. There are a few things we don't like about the design. First, our remote fell of the couch on a ceramic tile floor and broken glass. Accidents happen, and I dare say that it is going to be a lot of unhappy customers when they abandon their distance and it crashes. I will say that if the remote was dropped on the carpet he probably have come out unscathed. The remote control fell to the back of the sofa at a height of about three feet. I think that the remote control must be able to survive a fall like that or maybe Apple could consider designing a case or neoprene as the channel to the remote control. The other complaints we have are things that we have learned to adapt to. Remote ginning glass is well issue and because Apple products are on the pricey side (I had to replace a laptop charge cord twice - $80 a pop - compliments of our puppy) we have not yet checked the cost of replacement.

    Yes. It is a delicate user in my opinion not the real world tested. There are other posts on the topic, and I saw the new cases that occurred just as we have for our other handheld devices.  I think Siri remotes are also about $80...

    I will also mention that the old Apple TV remotes work with the new ATV as well - except Siri.  In fact, I use remote money or my universal remote control harmony more than the included remote control of Siri (I can't find Siri on tvOS it useful - still).

  • Apple TV remote stopped working - Apple TV 4 Gen

    Hello

    My new Apple TV remote suddenly stopped working, I plugged into the adapter and then the apple popped up TV "device disconnected.  It seems that I fried it when I plugged it in.

    I have tried all troubleshooting techniques suggested such as:

    1. turn on Apple TV

    2. hold down the menu and the volume button up for 5 seconds, while 3 inches in front of the Apple TV

    3 try to connect via bluetooth.

    4 plug the remote into the charger.

    None of these techniques worked.  I think that the thing is fried somehow.

    Any suggestions?  I have a warranty, do you think I can send just to the remote folder in Apple (not the apple TV with her) and get a new one?

    Maybe that's a problem with the Apple TV rather than with the remote control.

    1. If you have an older remote from a previous model MacBook or Apple TV, you can use to restore the Apple TV, which, in many cases, has been sufficient to reactivate the remote Siri. You must complete all upward to undertake a restoration.

    Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one in a few months.

    You may lose everything.  iMessage, like most e-mail services, don't keep permanently undeliverable messages.  They only keep in the short period send queue (I don't know exactly how much time but some Apple tech sites indicate no more than 10 days to two weeks) until they are purged.  That's pretty standard as otherwise, large volume, messaging services would be sitting on tera-bytes of messages not delivered each month.

    You actually have to change my phone number?  If not, let alone sign and only in iMessage when you have the new phone with this set of numbers upward to the service.

  • Apple TV Remote App - Volume control

    I have an Apple TV 4th Gen - the remote Siri works perfectly.  I just download the new (01/08/16) Apple TV Remote App on my iPhone 5s.  The app works well except the TV volume can be controlled with the volume of the iPhone + and - buttons.  Our version tvOS is 9.2.2 CEC is activated and the Apple TV is a device of overdraft on my Vizio TV.

    Some report to community members that the iPhone volume buttons work with the TV Remote application again Apple and others have the same problem I have.

    Help.

    Thank you

    Ciids remote uses IR to adjust the volume on your TV/receiver in the vast majority of cases and HDMI-CEC in a small number of cases because / TVs very few seem to support the volume in this way. If you cannot use your siri remote to control the volume via HDMI-CEC then you aren't going to get the remote app either from the app remote can't use IR

    I can access my Apple TC LAN for PC and Mac (for PC, installed the Base Station Agent from the airport, for Mac, I access it via the Finder with credentials for password)

    In your Mac, in the finder, use Go, connect to the server.

    Type of AFP://yourpublicIP

    Download your public IP address of the router asus news... remote WAN you should use DDNS... iCloud is useless... disable in the TC... It does not work behind another router for most people.

    But you must use the public IP address or DDNS address... It is available in the Asus firmware. Best is to buy a static public IP address from your ISP... This is the only reliable method... is worth a bit of money on a dynamic IP.

    This is unnecessary for Windows computer... Access SMB is usually blocked by ISP and Windows does not support AFP.

    Please post your pictures directly here... It's so much easier, then, for us to see.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I teach a cardio dance class on the inside and I can't give them a many exact calories when class ends.  The only choice is on the Apple Watch is the 'other' and I know that the class Burns 600 calories in an hour, but my watch shows only 250-350 burned. 

    I use my Apple Watch throughout the day and when I teach a cardio dance class, the number of calories is MUCH lower than other materials.  Why is the Watch not count my calories accurately?  The ladies like to know the calories to burn when the class is over and I can't give them using my Apple Watch.  Others in this class that wear the watch tells you how many is not too accurate.  We burn usually about 600 + calories and I'll be happy if my registers 350.  What could be wrong? Thank you!

    Hello

    Do not forget that Apple Watch uses Active calories (those who are burned by orders or travel) as the main measure for the app to training and activity app.

    Many other applications of fitness / devices report total calories, which consists of active calories + calories at rest (that your body is still burning even when you're not active).
