Q: Problems setting up Apple TV 3rd Gen

I'm having a heck of a time trying to setup my apple tv. I got it second hand from a friend who upgraded, and there is no physical remote that came with it. He said he lost it and just used his phone. I can't seem to get my Remote App from my iPad to connect. I also bought a new Apple Remote (the silver guy that came with it), but it needs to be paired. Basically, I have everything, but nothing will pair with the Apple TV. It has the newest updates, and turns on but I'm just left looking at the home screen. I know if you Restore it, set it up as new, and touch a iOS device to the Apple TV, it will automatically setup (and it does), but I still don't have any control over it with the Remote App on my iPad. Any ideas?
