Details in above 'related Support article' offer ideas for iDevices and Apple TV.

Covers how to pair Apple TV remote from iDevice; not with a Mac.


If your issues are not covered there; more specifically, if you try to use Mac

to access your Apple TV, there are other details you can find in this search.

Mostly see only reference iDevice to use as remote; or this:


• Siri Remote - Apple

www.apple.com/shop/product/MJFM3LL/A/siri-remote


• Use Siri on your Apple TV - Apple Support

Those use 'siri remote' where supported; Siri may work as remote/assist.
