Remote app not finding apple tv

Check to make sure homeshairing on your Atv is on. That may interfere at times or possibly be the cause of a glitch. Also restarting the ipod was a good idea. Sometimes it's not that the ipod can't find the Atv, just that it hasn't found it yet. Restarting it means the Ipod will search the connected network, a process similar to when an itouch uses the airplay function.

Sometimes turning of the Internet connection under "Settings-wifi-on/off" will work, but it's not 100% reliable. The Remote app comes out with updates just like every other app on the market. I'm sure with time this reliability issue will be patched up.

I had similar problems. In my case, the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad would work sometimes, and then not others. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason. And sometimes my Apple TV 2 could see my iTunes library, and then it would disappear. I noticed that rebooting my router, a BEC DSL modem/router provided by my phone company, would fix it, and then it would break again. I had a helpful Apple tech support call, and the engineer had me ping my ATV 2, iPhone, and iPod from my (Windows) PC, and sometimes that would work, sometimes not. So I contacted my phone company's tech support, and that engineer explained that the BEC modem/router wasn't "completely reliable" for intranet wifi communication between local devices. The engineer recommended that I use my own wifi router and set the BEC modem/router up as just a modem ("Pure Bridge"). I did that, and the problem has been completely solved. No more connectivity problems! Basically, my DSL modem/router always allowed internet access to wifi connected devices, but would sometimes mysteriously fail to allow intranet communications between my local devices.

I have got the same problem, but I cannot find Remote App 1.3.3 ipa as my backups started when I was already in version 2.1.1. How could I get the 1.3.3 ipa?

Thank you in advance for your help

Get into your home directory, into Music, into iTunes, into Mobile Applications. In there should be all the versions of Remote you ever downloaded. v1.3.3 for me was about 1.6MB, v1.0 was there at 1.1MB, v2.1 was there at 22MB.

You don't need any backups, what's in the Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/ directory ?

I had my ATV2 working good and after an update it stopped. The remote app Would not find my ATV2. I did lots of reading and nothing seemed to work. So finally I figured what if I delete the remote application and re install it fresh. Now everything works. Hope this helps

I had a similar problem and found that my router had Wireless Isolation switched on, changed that and Apple TV displayed in the iPad Remote app.

Question, how many wifi connections are you using? I've been having the same problem and after reading the app support I realized my hit or miss problem is because my phone had jumped to one wifi connection different from the Apple TV. If you do have more than one home network, ensure the app device and Apple TV are on the same.

Just upgraded to ios9 and now the Remote app won't work after working perfectly for months during which I updated the app regularly. Reinstalled the app, still no go. Remote app says turn on Home Sharing on Apple TV (which is already turned on), and Apple TV says turn on Home Sharing on Remote (which is already turned on). I just deleted Remote and am back to using the Apple TV Remote. Anyone have ideas? Apple TV A1469, ios 9.0 on iPhone 6.

I Was having the same problem after updating to iOS 9 , after trying a few things I ended up restarting the Apple TV ( A1469 ) and it seems to working again. hopefully this is the end of it .

Thanks for the suggestion–I'd already restarted the Apple TV (A1469), but I'm still getting the same loop re: turning on Home Sharing. Will try restarting again and hope it works!
