[@gretchenkopmanis5972]

If you press and hold the TV/Control Center button and the Volume Down button at the same time you can restart the remote itself. We had to do that the other day when the remote would no longer control the volume.

Cant play my tennis games with this remote, what do you suggest instead as it doesnt have the gyro that the old one had

[@aviramshenkman8150]

Hello, I have the TV cable app on the apple tv. Any suggestions on how to change a channel? In a normal remote you have the numbers and you just press the number of the channel you want to go to but this remote doesnt have any numbers. Thank you

Except for Mute button and Volume Up/Down all other functions have ceased to function on my 2G remote. Solution?

[@FilmPepe2024]

Does anyone know if the double tap feature works just like it did on the other remote for some reason mine doesn’t do it anymore and it’s annoying while watching movies seeing the black bars anyone know how to fix it or if this new control has that feature

[@TerryManitoba]

Coming from a 10-year-old Apple TV - I needed a new one - obviously... If I were to only need a new remote I figure the $60 price tag would be well worth it. How can a remote control be so great... 1- quickly open a new app with Siri 2 - new trackpad becomes intuitive very fast 3- having a mute button on it is well worth it - not having to dig up the television remote - Same applies for the volume and ability to start and shut down both with one power button. 4- the size is just right in the hand - the flat sides (ala iPhone 12) is gold 5- Rechargeable battery 6- Being able to easily use the controls (most used are the mute, volume & pause buttons) without requiring to pick the remote up is also nice (for me 50% of the time) Lots of smaller remotes are not so well designed in that way! After a few more days I end up using all of the buttons in that way & less so the trackpad part.

[@JoshHolden]

Circular scrolling doesn’t work for me. Just the standard left/right swipe advances playback even in Apple TV video content. Anyone else?

[@christophspielmann316]

Same here.

[@IcedAssault]

Samesies, even on 14.7. It doesn’t work on the first gen 4K (replaced the remote) Apple TV nor the second gen 4K Apple TV for me either.

[@youmustmonthebiff]

Lots of people having the same issue.

[@christophspielmann316]

I found out how this works: You need to pause the video, place your finger on the side of the wheel and wait for one second. Currently only a few apps are supported. Try it with the TV from Apple app.

[@thefingerofgod69]

It works for me in the AppleTV+ app but nowhere else. I think apps will have to be updated before it will work more broadly.

[@MrRhaspyman]

I lost control of volume and mute. I tried to reset box and remote. Any suggestions??

[@TecKideos]

Slow and jittery gestures can be controlled by putting your screen to 4K SDR and in my point of view the screen looks more brighter and beautiful than HDR. It makes the experience 50% more smoother.

[@bhagi2190]

Is this chargeable remote???

[@thepatrioticaudiophile]

The shuttle function on the scroll wheel doesn't work properly with KZbin. It goes forwards then backwards as you scroll. Am I using it wrong?

[@robertayers6482]

No you are not. Mine does the same thing. I called Apple and they confirmed that this function isn’t set up to work on KZbin videos. I also tested it on Disney+ and it doesn’t work there either. I appears it only works on Apple TV+ content.

[@skysthelimit5154]

Anyone having issues with the jog wheel feature? It won’t allow me to scroll the wheel to fat forward or rewind. When I first got it, that feature worked but now it makes me fast forward or rewind the same way the original remote did. Any feedback is appreciated.

Great Video, My Question is there a way to completely turn off my Samsung TV with the Apple TV remote. NOW, the Apple TV remote only option is to put the Apple TV to Sleep, so it does turn off the Samsung TV for 30 seconds, and then the Samsung TV comes back on requiring me to use the TV remote to power off the TV. Any ideas to get the TV to stay turned off?? Thanks

[@ChrisWintermeyer]

What is the "move to stores" option you showed when managing apps? Mine Apple TV 4k (tvOS 14.6) doesn't have that option and I couldn't find anything relevant searching the web.

[@JewiMacca]

I was perplexed too, but I figured it out. Andrew made a mistake and didn't realize this option isn't standard. When you create a folder, the option to "move to [insert name of folder]" now appears in the dropdown menu for the app. Andrew has a folder named "stores". I figured it out when I saw the image underneath "Method two" (3rd image down)on this instruction page: appletoolbox.com/how-to-work-with-apple-tv-folders-for-an-organized-view/ As you can see there are a bunch of "move to" options in that image. entertainment, cooking, instructions, etc.

[@ChrisWintermeyer]

@@JewiMacca Thank you SO much for that answer... totally clears it up for me.

[@carmenluciano261]

When using Siri to change channels what does it mean you must use the remote that appears on screen?

[@johnpeterka8355]

On the new Apple 4K, why does it abort streaming shows and return to the menu? I tried setting the Sleep Mode to never, but that did not work either. I could not find anything other than the Sleep Mode to change. Lastly, I Restarted the unit.

[@iceshadow625]

It’s a really cool remote but it still lacks an input button. I wish Apple would add an input button (could go on the top left of the remote) and then make the power button turn the TV on / off with a quick press and turn the AppleTV off with a long press. Then it’d be the only remote I’d need as I have my AppleTV and video game consoles hooked up. As of right now, I’d need the Siri Remote + the TV remote just for power and input.

[@thefingerofgod69]

I am having a couple of issues with this new ATV. 1) my remote keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. This did not happen with my ATV HD model that I replaced with this new ATV 4K (2nd gen). 2) Some of these gestures don't work with some apps. For instance the "jog wheel" gesture doesn't seem to work with any other app but the appletv+ app. Also, I use the Spectrum app in lieu of a cable box. Right now the back portion of the d-ring doesn't work as it should. I am guessing that these kinds of issues will be fixed when these apps are updated?

Thank you for this excellent video. I learned a few things I did not know about my remote like how to cue forward and backward slow and fast. I was just tapping on the right or left part of the circle or long pressing the same parts. No wonder I was frustrated. THE ONE PROBLEM I do have that I cannot seem to figure out is that after speaking about 5 words into a search box while looking for a program, it will display my words spoken but the they all disappear when I release the microphone button and It happens all the time. : ( If anyone knows what I am doing wrong, I would appreciate some intel. Thank you very much!

[@AppleInsider]

Hmmm that’s odd. It certainly shouldn’t do that. I don’t have any advice but it’s abnormal for sure

[@shanemoore7339]

Will the power button turn on\off a soundbar and TV that aren't connected thru HDMI-CEC? I know it has IR control, but how flexible is this really?? I know the Amazon and Google remotes give you the power to control all devices via IR. I was hoping Apple would do this as well!

[@DonDraperVideos]

Very helpful. I was expecting Siti voice commands. Could you create one for all Siri voice commands. For example, can you skip ahead or backward for 3 minutes and does it work on most apps?

[@peterwilson3108]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but I think you missed clicking left or right during video playback to jump 10 seconds. Same as the old remote but works much better with the new D pad

[@donh.5097]

Thanks, I was wondering about that. That's the one feature I like on the old remote. Not sure about 60 bucks for the new one though.

[@brettgregory2108]

The only thing I found is the new remote won’t keep playing when you skip 10 seconds, as the old one did.

Good video Andrew! However, can you or would you know how to use the microphone with the Spotify app? On the older version AppleTV remote I was able to use this feature but for the best of me I cannot seem to use this same feature with the new remote. Thanks!

[@gteague]

you yayada'd at light speed past the pip section. also, new info says that for scrubbing through a video quickly you should swipe back and forth. the circular motion is for fine control once you've reached the section you want and in some apps and situations it will simply rock back and forth a few seconds on each side. oh, and my major annoyance is that i can't get the audio output to 'stick' with my sonos system. you can set it in control center or settings or at the top dropdown, but it won't survive a pause and even just drops out at random and returns to the tv speakers which is supremely annoying. /guy

[@indiekiduk]

At 4:19 how did you get it to enter the jog wheel mode?

[@AppleInsider]

Just pause a moment

[@CrisMertens]

Yeah, this isn’t working for me :( I’ve got the 2017 ATV4K fully up to date and I’m in Apple TV playing Ted Lasso. Pausing and trying to jog the wheel has wonky results where it slides all over the place.

Hello Brother, I am having an issue with my new remote. Out of the box i installed youtube and other apps. Its Forward or Reverse touch is not working properly. Down half circle forward from left to right while upper half forward from left to right also which makes it unusable as complete circle. If you scroll completely it will go forward and reverse. Can anyone help me please????

[@TecKideos]

Hello everyone, i get the solution. Its a technical thing and you cant scroll like iPod classic out of Box. For netflix and apple tv+ you can first press middle button for stop and then just rest your thumb on forward button (only rest not press it) immediately you can see the small vertical line convert to circle now you are able to move in a complete circle. For youtube its not working for me.

[@amaracea]

If your new siri remote refuses to pair, make sure your TV is updated to 14.6. My TV4K was still on 14.2 despite automatic updates being turned on. I manually updated to 14.6 and finally the new siri remote decided it would actually pair when I held the back and volume-up buttons. To update manually, go into the settings app, then go into “System,” then go into “Update Software,” and update. It will take a while so don’t do it while you “need” the TV.
