    Can Apple TV Remote Be Programmed to Skip Forward/backward 10 Seconds in YouTube App?

    The Apple TV control center app in iOS/iPadOS has buttons to skip forward or go backward 10 seconds, which I use all the time when watching YouTube. When clicking the direction wheel on the new Apple TV remote, it doesn't do that. Curious if there is a way to achieve this.

    Apple Remote Desktop

    Does Apple Remote Desktop allow connections to Mac-Mini-M1's outside! of the same network with login screen access (no monitor connected)? (aka. does it work like teamviewer)? (one time payment of 80usd sounds better to me than 30usd for teamviewer every month)

    It’s hard to see from the picture below but if you run your finger up the top left of the remote you can feel the black plate is hanging off just a little. If you run your finger down the top right in the remote you can feel that the plate isn’t flush with the body of the remote. And that their...

    Weird pressure point on my new Apple TV remote

    Hey guys, I just got a second Apple TV 4K for my bedroom tv and I already have an Apple TV 4K in my living room for almost a year now.

    Home Looking for 'the best' integrated remote control...

    I've got the Harmony Hub from Logitech, and it works 'most of the time'. Occasionally, something doesn't work well, and everything has to be power cycled, but for the most part it seems to be working. EXCEPT it seems to love, out of the blue, to turn on both the U-Verse box, and the Blu-ray...

    Volume change problem with iPhone after 12.3

    I used to control Apple TV volume by pressing physical buttons on the side of iPhone with remote widget open up on its control panel. After recent update to iOS/tvOS 12.3, however, it no longer seems to work stable, but instead only works one time when the remote is connected to the TV, then...

    Apple TV Remotes No Longer Work as of 4/2

    My wife and I noticed that our Apple TV remote was no longer working this morning. We tried charging it, but it didn't help, and the Apple TV didn't report that it was charging (on screen). We didn't think much of it, but figured a hardware issue must've come up with it. A few hours later, we...

    Unpairing ATV 4K Siri remote? Use Harmony instead.

    I would like to unpair the Siri remote and pair a Harmony smart hub remote instead. The Apple TV 4Ks three Bluetooth limit is why I'd like to free up that slot. I'm using Zwift and the bike trainer + heart rate monitor take up two Bluetooth slots.

    How can I prevent one remote controlling 2 ATVs?

    I recently got the ATV 4k as part of the DirecTV deal and liked it so much I bought a 2nd one for my bedroom. It seems like occasionally when I watch TV in the bedroom, which is right above my living room, the remote is turning on the LR ATV and TV, as on a few occasions the TV will be on after...

    Remote access for Ipad 2?

    Hi there I bought an Ipad 2 for my mum a while back. She's not the most technologically literate by far and it can be difficult to explain to her how to use it especially since she lives in another county (she knows the bare basics). I also have the same model Ipad 2 and I want to know if...

    Control Apple Music on Apple TV without tv turned on

    It would be nice if Apple allowed the Apple TV screen content to mirror back to your phone so you could control Apple Music ie. listen to Apple TV via WiFi without using a phone or iPad via airplay. Which drains battery etc. Or if when using airplay for music from iphone and a track is...
