Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support
The Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) need a functional remote to set up the Apple TV Remote app*.
The Apple TV (4th or 5th generation) should recognize the Apple TV Remote Control Center widget, or the Apple TV Remote app*, even without a remote.
For the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), your options are:
- buy a replacement Apple Remote (aluminum);
- temporarily borrow an Apple Remote (aluminum) to help set up the app;
- restore the Apple TV and connect a wireless keyboard to help set up the app;
- restore the Apple TV and connect the CiderTV Mac app to help set up the app.
* The Apple TV Remote app from the App Store is no longer available in that store, but if you already have it, then it can still be used.
** The Apple TV Remote in Control Center works with Apple TV (3rd generation or later), not earlier models.
