Figure 11:
Apple's Remote app works via iTunes Home Sharing and lets
you control multiple Apple TVs and Mac-based iTunes libraries.
If your Apple TV isn't shown in the grid, enable Home Sharing on the Apple TV: Open Set-
tings > General > Remotes > Remote App. Select Turn On Home Sharing, and enter your
Apple ID credentials. After you're logged in, you'll be asked if you'd like to use that Apple ID
for the iTunes Store, if you haven't already set that up. Select Yes to save yourself some typ-
ing later if you use the same account for Home Sharing and the iTunes Store.
A screen appears, telling you that Home Sharing is on. Select OK to finish.
Tip:
Once you've enabled Home Sharing on the Apple TV, it can also access any Mac-
based iTunes libraries on the local network that are signed into the same iTunes ac-
count; see
Content from Your iTunes Library
to learn more.
