Otherwise, to pair a remote you hold down menu and the right arrow for 6 seconds.

Mar 19, 2014 8:42 PM in response to vazandrewby ThetaSigmaIV,That is literally what the instructions said and it isn't doing jack squat... I don't have the gas money to get to an apple store to have someone there work on it themselves. I wish there was something as symple as the "Sync" button but, everyone has to make it more complicated, don't they?
Need I remind you the Apple TV it's self isn't even on- there's no way to turn it on without the remote.

Mar 19, 2014 8:51 PM in response to ThetaSigmaIVby vazandrew,There shouldn't be anything complicated about it. The Apple TV is in sleep mode, the only way to have it completely off is to unplug it.
If it isn't picking up the signal on its on and the pairing process isn't working then something else is going on, which would require an Apple tech.

However, that would require a micro usb cable. So if you didn't have one lying around it would be best to just go to Apple.

Once you get it turned on go to -settings-remotes-unpair remote. Then click" pair remote" and hold down the right and menu button at the same time for 6 seconds and done.
