      Hey Valerie. Yeah this video wasn't made with that quite in mind, haha. However, if you use the Apple remote function on your iPhone or iPad you might be able to connect it that way. That's also assuming the tap to pair method doesn't work.

    I bought a brand new apple tv 4k 2021 version and everything was perfect, until my two year old put my remote in the toilet , it no longer works so I ordered and received a brand new remote and I followed the steps after charging for two hours and nothing is happening..... can you please let me know what to do ? Thanks, you always have great videos....

    • @EasyOSX
      @EasyOSX  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey John, sorry to hear about your issue. That’s a rough way to lose your remote.
      Here’s 2 things to try.
      First, unplug your Apple TV from power for 30 seconds, then plug it back into power and let it come back up to the home screen. Then try connecting the remote again as described in the video.
      If this doesn’t work, then bring your remote close to the Apple TV. Point it at the Apple TV. Then press and hold the TV button and the Volume Down button on the remote for 10 seconds. During this process you should see the white light on the front of the Apple TV turn off and then turn back on a few seconds later. When you see the status light come back on, then you can let go of the buttons. This will cause the remote itself to reboot. Count for 30 seconds, and at the end of the 30 seconds, hit either the TV or Back buttons on the remote and see if it will connect again.

  • @OlgaFinogenova

    Thank you very much for your advice! I have connected my new remote (this new model like in your video) very easily. But now I want to switch back to my old remote (the smaller black one, all “touch”, like the one you are showing next) and do not know how to. If I (this being said my new remote is already connected and working) bring my old remote close to apple tv and press any button or press the touch space nothing happens and no prompt appears on the screen suggesting that the remote now is being connected. Could you please advise on how to connect the old remote back and/or how to switch between the two (i.e. to connect and use old or new one when I want from time to time). Thank you very much in advance!

    • @EasyOSX
      @EasyOSX  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Olga. This isn't something I mentioned in the video, but you can't have more than 1 physical remote paired to the Apple TV at a time (the Remote app for iPhone and iPad doesn't count, you can have many of those paired to the ATV). So if you want to keep using the new remote, then you won't be able to use the old one with it.
      If you're fine with only using the old one, you'll have to disconnect the new remote and then can go through the pairing process (but as a precaution make sure your iPhone or iPad Remote app works before doing this in case you run into an issue when neither physical remote is paired to the ATV and you need to do something). Hope this helps!

    • @EasyOSX
      @EasyOSX  ปีที่แล้ว

      First thing is to connect your iPhone or iPad’s Remote app to your Apple TV and make sure works in case something happens you can still control the TV. It should be in Control Center on your iDevice.
      Then, to disassociate a remote from your Apple TV., go to the “Settings” app, then “General” > “Remotes and Devices” > Unpair Apple Remote.
      After you’ve done that, try connecting the remote you want to use again.

Normally it asks you to enter a code on the phone from the TV rather than the other way around, assuming you’re using the Apple remote functionality built into the iPhone already.
