Not possible to wake up AppleTV with remote App

I have the Same Problem, since ATV3 got the latest SW update.

Even though I have an IPhone 4.

Did all possible SW update for iTunes, Remote App,...

Seems to be a bug in the ATV3.

Must be something with the 7.0 firmware itself or an issue between that and the current version of remote app that needs to be patched, I don't have a unit to test but it's working fine on a 2nd gen.

May want to give Apple feedback

https://www.apple.com/feedback/

As a point of reference, I have no problems using the current version of the Remote app on my iPhone 5S to wake my ATV3 running the new 7.0 OS version. The ATV wakes immediately when I tap on its icon on the devices screen.

It may help to review the troubleshooting steps in Remote app for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can't connect to iTunes or Apple TV.

Thanks to both of you, but it simply doesn't work for me.

Remote Version is 4.2.1

iOS Version is 7.1.2

ATV got a SW update recently. It is directly connected to the WLAN Router.

When ATV has fallen asleep it does not show up as available device in Remote.

So there is no Icon to tap on anymore. It has also disappeared from the local IP address scheme.Sometimes later it might show up again by accident, but completely unpredictable.

Everything worked fine before ATV and Remote got the SW update for iOS8 support.

Just an add-on:

I realized that the problem is clearly linked to the discussion

""Apple TV Ethernet sleep mode and airplay"" initiated by MacHunt on September 24, 2014.

So 'No Airplay discovery & Wake on LAN' with new ATV3 SW.

Apple, please fix this !!

Then you will need to direct it to Apple, as this is a user forum.

I have the same problem

After update AppleTV to 7.0, all my devices iphone5s,(IOS8), iPad2(IOS7.1), iMac can not see airplay icon only after push on remote control, enable/disable wifi or ping to ApleTV.

I tried many attempts such as: reset, restart, change ip, set ip manually and automaticaly, set AppleTV on "never sleep", and nothing.

What more can I try ?

Thank you

Hi AdiCris,

I opened a trouble ticket in Apple's bugreporter.

The best workaround meanwhile for me was, to downgrade the Remote App from Version 4.2.1 back to 4.2.

The following link gives a good description on how to downgrade.

With Remote App 4.2 everything around Apple TV behaves 'normal'.

Hope this can help you as well.

.

I am using Remote version 4.2.1, iOS 8.0.2, & ATV version 7.0 software, & I have no problem waking my ATV 3 with the Remote app. Airplay works as expected, as far as I can see.

I resolved the problem "Can not see airplay icon only after push on remote control"

Maybe there was a bug at the operational system.

I made restore to AppleTV with iTunes conected to PC with microusb cable.

Simple.

I recomand you everyone to do it before to start any research.

Hi!

I have the same problem! In addition to not being able to my iPhone not being able to wake up Apple TV anymore, I have just found out another problem. Before the new update, I could use my iPhone to send Youtube video from the phone to the Apple TV, and then, continue to work on my iPhone while the Youtube app would work in the background. Now, as soon as iPhone goes to sleep, or as soon as I start using it to text or do email, or whatever, the transmission stop. No more Youtube and I have to go back to the YouTube app in my iPhone. Has this happened to you also?

Thanks!

Hi

No. In this moment I writing to you while I listen a videoclip on AppleTV from the iPhone.

I have iPhone 6, ios 8.1 and the last update on AppleTV3.

I recommand to you have the last update for the both devices and verify your settings on the phone about running in background the apps.

Other problem may be from the youtube app. Check if you have the last youtube version, that is very important.

All the best

same problem. cannot get it fixed.

2 apple TVs, same network, all updated and phone iOS updated as well. 1 of them refuses to show up. it used to work, but for some reason spontaneously quit.

i'd prefer not to have to reboot an apple TV every time I want to use it. that's just silly.

same problem here... Two Apple TV´s at my apartment with Airport express and iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s and ipad mini retina (all of it is runnin newest versions of fw) and can´t wake aptv3 from sleep since aptv update to 7.x firmware version.... I have to say that AirPlay is the main and biggest fail in whole fall apple devices update.
