I bought an Apple TV 2 w/o a remote, I watched countless videos to figure out how to control it, I eventually bought a generic Apple TV remote off of Ebay for cheap. I watched a few more videos in order to figure out how to sync it, and I can finally say that after watching this video I now have a working Apple TV remote! Thank you for your service!
This is without a doubt the most informative easy to understand how to on any Apple product i have ever seen. I have watched thousands over the years. Perfect job sir. Thank you so very much!!
Thank you so much - our grandbaby threw our remote into the pool and his Mum bought us a new one - trouble is we could not work out how to pair it - you were much easier to understand than the apple instructions - you are a legend!!!
Thank you. Thanks to this vid. I lost my old remote and was able to sync my new remote which we have had for weeks if not months. Usually the other remote pops up but this time it hasn’t. So thanks again
I washed my apple remote (not on purpose) so I bought a new one and thanks to your video telling that I first have to unsync first and then sync the new one I wasn't able to use. A million tks for your great information.
Thank you so much. I was having an issue syncing my new remote to my old Apple TV but you made me realize that I had to unsync the other remote first in order for it to work. ❤️❤️
Worked immediately. Light on the Apple TV blinked when I pushed buttons so I knew the batteries worked. Sincing seemed to work, but didn’t. I downloaded the iTunes remote app, and that controlled the unit. Then watched your video and unsinced the remote and it now functions like it always used to. Thanks!
The most helpful video on youtube! 🤣 I had 3 apple tv remotes, two of which didnt work because I had apparently synced it with the 3rd remote, which I lost.
Tried all options :( no luck unsyncing and resyncing. Its weird because i can see the apple tv white light flashing when i make button inputs but that us aboit it 😢
@@HowToPM yup. Listened carefully. Unpaired, left arrow and home 6 secs. Nothing shown on screen. Tried multiple times and held longer still nothing. Tried right arrow and home after that just to see, obviously also didn't work. All g, it's a me problem not a you problem :) clearly worked for lots of other people here
Thank you that was great that deserve the comments and a few five star. My wife decided to lose the controller to the one Apple TV so I have to go get the other Apple TV with the other remotes and get them to work so once again thank you buddy
Good job on the video! I know this video is 2 years old but I do still have a problem. My friend gave me her Apple TV without the Apple Remote, and I have an Apple TV with the Apple Remote, and her Apple Remote is still connected to her Apple TV and because of that, I can't connect my Apple Remote to hers. Is there a way I can fix this? Please respond, I'd really appreciate an answer
@@HowToPM hi, I've tried but it still doesn't work? It doesnt show the sync/unsync logo, and I've done everything you've said. The Apple Remote isn't low battery or anything, and works just fine
Hum. If mac still have their IR receiver that should be the same but since new remote work on bluetooth, I doupt they still have that technology in new Mac.
Wait, will those 2gen/3gen aluminum remotes (like you show in video) work with newer Apple TV by default? (4th gen). I hate the touchscreen remote my Apple TV has.
Hi Gary, those remote work with gen2 and gen 3 by default yes. But if you are talking about apple tv gen 4. It work like at 90%. I remember that there is one fonction that doesn't work. But yes you are right, the touch remote is really stupid.
I lost the original remote so unable to unsynch old one and trying to pair the new one is not successful with fresh battery. How can I get the new one to pair if I don’t have the old one? I wouldn’t have bought a replacement if I could find the old one
@@HowToPM same problem here. But unfortunately the new one did not “unsynch” the old one. Although the light on the Apple TV device blinks when I press a button on the remote, but nothing happens on the screen unfortunately
I just got a used apple tv without an hdmi cable. I had to buy an hdmi cable. Now the remote wont work and i did what you said to try to connect it and i put a new battery in but it still wont connect. The apple tv itself works and the network/settings screen is on and it says i need to connect it to a network but again the remote wont work. Think its dead?
Breaking one of those remote would be quite difficult. I doupt it's broken. If you want to make sure, press and hold a button and try to see if it produce light in the frond over a camera screen like the one of your phone.
This is exactly what I needed all in one video - unsync and sync. Thank you!
Ahah!! thank you for your comment! I'm glad it helped!

You need to unpair the remote. Listen carefully ;)

Can you activate Siri with this remote?
how about Macbook pro 2021ver. Can I pair apple remote to Macpro ?
Hum. If mac still have their IR receiver that should be the same but since new remote work on bluetooth, I doupt they still have that technology in new Mac.
Can you tell us how to get our replacement apple tv remote (the silver and black one) to work. It turns on fine , but we cant scroll anywhere.
Hum. Had you get an original model? Otherwise you will need to learn the code. See that video : ruclips.net/video/CL6zXybAXKY/видео.html
Wait, will those 2gen/3gen aluminum remotes (like you show in video) work with newer Apple TV by default? (4th gen). I hate the touchscreen remote my Apple TV has.

Hi, i just want to ask u about this. Did u try the use aluminum remote on 4th gen, im thinking about the buy it but not sure
Legend❤
Worked!!!
thanks
POR FIN!! Solo era desincronizar el control y luego nuevamente sincronizarlo y sin problemas funcionó perfectamente GRACIAS!!
Thank you..
You're welcome! :)
Thank u
You’re awesome!
Ahah!! Thank you Colman! :)
Thank you so much!!! I stopped using my tv for so long because it couldn’t figure it out, google was telling me the wrong instructions😂
this is perfect video but why did u talk a lot anyways thx a lot, better than official website, thx dude.

You can do the unpair with the new one. It will unpair the old one. Then if you need you can pair the new one.
@@HowToPM same problem here. But unfortunately the new one did not “unsynch” the old one. Although the light on the Apple TV device blinks when I press a button on the remote, but nothing happens on the screen unfortunately
Mine wouldn't click right or down then I sprayed mine with RP7 and it works perfectly now.
Thanks buddy :)

@@HowToPM its working somewhat now but the right and bottom buttons isnt working. So you think it needs replaced?
I would try to open it and reclose it. It's probably a little something stuck inside.
Holy crap this work!!!!!
Tank u broooo

You're weeeeeelcome! :)
Life saver. Thanks amigo!
