Q: 3rd generation apple tv and remote refuse to pair
I can't get my apple TV remote to control my apple tv. Both of them are third generation. If I press a button on the remote, the light on the Apple TV blinks, but nothing happens. I tried holding down home and right key, as Apple instructs to pair the two... no luck. The light blinks, but I can't control anything.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
