Ios and apple tv

Every time i want to control my apple tv 2nd gen by my ipad ios 15.2 it ask me to enter a 4 digit code.

It is useless. Why every time?

Are your referring to AirPlay or the use of the software remote?


The old 2010 Apple TV (2nd generation) is not meant to be compatible with the software remote in Control Center on iOS devices.

Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

↳ “The Apple TV Remote in Control Center works with Apple TV 4K, Apple TV HD, Apple TV (3rd generation), and AirPlay 2-compatible smart TVs only.”


For AirPlay, the unit must be signed in to, and activated with your Apple ID account.

If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support

Does it work normally, after entering the pairing code?

See Setting﹥General﹥About﹥Activation﹥? If it says ‘Failed’ then fix that first.
