Nov 22, 2015 3:36 PM in response to DABNLby Pat Dodd,This worked for me, thank you. The OP needs to mark your's as a solution. The only down side so far is that even though it doesn't respond or wake from the input, the aTV4 blinks several times whenever the aluminum remote button is pressed.

Nov 22, 2015 4:58 PM in response to Pat Doddby GuyM458,no it does NOT fix the issue, the harmony remote does not work anymore after doing this method so this method is broken and not a proper solution.

Nov 22, 2015 5:41 PM in response to GuyM458by iEatHands,Please go ask your question elsewhere. This is a question regarding Apple remotes not Harmony remotes. We are not obliged to answer your question so please pay a little bit of respect to the people volenteering their time to come here and answer people's questions.

Nov 22, 2015 6:53 PM in response to GuyM458by iEatHands,You aren't going to get an answer in this thread. People are reading this because they are having issues with their Apple remote not a harmony remote. Please post a new thread on the support forum with your own question so others can help you.
I Can't assist you as I don't have a harmony remote.

Nov 23, 2015 1:18 AM in response to Pat Doddby DABNL,Hi Patt,
Glad it worked for you as well! Indeed you can't stop the Apple TV 4 from blinking however I see that as a positive now as it will give me direct proof when the battery is low on the Apple Remote...
If the OP doesn't mark it as a solution, you could mark my post as 'This helped me' (bottom left).
Regards,
Danny

Nov 23, 2015 1:55 AM in response to GuyM458by DABNL,Hi GuyM458,
You have to read things carefully, like many people mentioned this whole post is dedicated to unpairing an Apple Remote and not concerning a universal remote like your Harmony, it seems no-one answering here has a Harmony Remote and we are all volunteering to help each other in our spare time so that's more of a friendly gesture than a right to troubleshooting for you.
There are two different suggestions to fix the Apple Remote unpairing issue on these pages of which I think mine really does unpair it properly (I happened to find out how by trial and error) and the other method seems just a work around to me. My post was clearly a reply to the OP and not to your request.
From reading your posts it seems that you have been mixing both suggestions even though it does not concern a universal remote.
Now a few suggestions that may help you;
How to pair your Harmony remote with just the ATV4 I don't know as I don't own one, this is something you will have to use the Harmony remote instructions/forum for or make a new specific post yourself, also if the work around method you have applied has disabled infrared detection of the ATV4 you will have to find a way to turn it back on again (maybe reversing the steps or possibly returning the ATV4 back to factory settings?).
If the Apple Remote is still working with both your ATV3 and ATV4 then I am sure you can unpair it from just the ATV4 by using my solution (where my Mac Mini becomes your ATV3), just make sure that only the ATV4 is on before unpairing by removing the power cord from the ATV3 first so it does not change any ATV3 settings/pairings.
Good luck!
Danny

Jan 4, 2016 6:00 PM in response to DABNLby Edin Zulich,Hi Danny,
Your method for unpairing an Apple Remote from ATV4 is the only one that worked for me. For what it's worth, before I started I turned off my other device (a Mac Mini) but did not unplug the power cord. Subsequently, unpairing the remote from ATV4 also unpaired it from the Mac Mini as well, but that was easy to fix.
Thank you for the detailed instructions!
