 Barbra it's in she says several several episodes back y'all talked about resetting the Apple TV remote when there is a problem my personality My personality made me do it. Okay, I get it Now I'm with you Barb My personality made me do it even though there was nothing wrong with my Apple TV remote now My Apple TV remote will not turn off or turn on my TV Even when I long pressed the power button when I did a search on your website It sent me to episode 961, which did not have what I needed. Please send me in the right direction Thanks, Barb and I listened to the latest podcast if it ain't broke fix it till it is What a hoot because that's exactly what I did It happens to the best of us Barb you are in good company So I think I'm understanding The way I'm interpreting this is that once the TV is on the Apple TV remote still controls the Apple TV device It just does not power cycle. It can't control the power of the TV Right and or I I'm thinking maybe also the volume I would assume the volume to yeah, yeah, exactly. So if that is what is happening here What you need to do is sort of reconnect your Apple TV To the remote functionality of your TV and that will also retrain your remote if it's doing it via infrared So To do this you've got to manually power on your TV. I know like an animal And then you're gonna have to walk all the way across the room Barb and back all the way Or use the remote that came with your TV. I mean either one, you know uphill both ways in the snow. Well, that's right Yes, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're carrying the coal and the firewood. Um Then once you've got that on Use your Apple TV remote to control your Apple TV go to settings again This is on the Apple TV home theater control Control TVs and receivers and make sure that option is on If that's off, none of this is gonna work Once that's on if it was off and you turn it on try it. You might be done if you're not done Also on that screen. There is the learn remote feature that learns your TV's remote into your remote I think this is what happened for you. You reset the remote and it forgot the infrared commands That it had previously learned from your TV. So you're gonna need your maybe You might need your TV's remote Apple's so smart about the way they do this that Sometimes you just say, oh, yeah, I have a Panasonic TV or you know, LG and and it's like, yeah, I got you Does that work? Yeah. Okay. Great. Then you're done. So that may be all it takes If I completely misunderstood the question and it's that your Apple TV remote isn't controlling anything like not even your Apple TV Then you might need to repair the remote with your Apple TV and so again Turn on your TV manually so that you can see what's going on And set it to the HDMI input that your Apple TV is plugged into again So you can see what's going on point your remote at your Apple TV Make sure that the remote is about three inches from your Apple TV So for this one, you definitely need to get up off the couch And then press and hold the back or menu button and the volume up button for five seconds Your TV might ask you or your Apple TV via the message on the screen Might ask you to place your remote on top of the Apple TV to complete pairing if it does, of course do that So hopefully hopefully one of these two things was the problem and Even more. Hopefully one of these two things is the answer But my guess is you have to just do that learn remote thing But I figured while we were on the subject we'll go through the whole The whole shoot match and and I I have mad respect for you Barb that you heard about a thing You didn't need to do and you did it anyway because that's what we do here. Yep. Absolutely. You're a good company
