There are no on-screen controls on your Apple TV; it only works with a select group of remotes.<\/p>

This makes for a sleeker aesthetic, but you’ll be in a pickle if you lose your remote and need to turn on your Apple TV.<\/p>

The Apple TV can be powered on without a separate remote. And if you misplace the remote, your iOS device can serve as a replacement. How?<\/p>

Let’s find out…<\/p>

How to Turn On Your Apple TV<\/span><\/h2>

To turn on your Apple TV, simply press the Home or Menu buttons on your remote. This applies to both new and old models. If you don’t have your remote, you can turn your device on by unplugging it and plugging it back in.<\/p>

  1. Make sure your television is set to the same HDMI input as the Apple TV.<\/li>\n\n
  2. Turn off your Apple TV. If you’re not sure which plug controls the power, the black cable coming out of the back of your Apple TV should be the one. Remove this cable from the Apple TV or unplug it from the outlet.<\/li><\/ol>
    Although not all Apple TVs have the same ports on the back, they all have the power cable in the same location.<\/pre>
    1. Replace the plug. When you do this, the Apple logo should appear briefly on your TV screen before transitioning to a blank screen. The white “on” light on the Apple TV should be blinking.<\/li>\n\n
    2. The homescreen of your Apple TV will appear after a few seconds.<\/li><\/ol>

      You can now use an iPhone or iPad as a remote control. <\/p>

      Once paired, this other device can be used to turn on your Apple TV in the future.<\/p>
