Set Up the Remote App without Home Sharing
Maybe you want to set up the Remote app on a device without giving that device Home
Sharing access. For instance, you want your kids to be able to use the app without
accessing your stash of R-rated movies.
Start up the Remote app and tap “Add a Device.” On the Apple TV, open Settings from
the main menu and choose General > Remotes and select the name of your iOS device
under the iOS Remotes heading (the Remote app will tell you the name of your device
if you don't know it).
You're then prompted to enter the four-digit code from the Remote app. Use Up and
Down to select the number, and Right to move to the next one. Select Done when
finished.
To unpair the Remote app, select it again in General > Remotes, and select Remove
when prompted.

from the list of options.
You should now see the Control screen, which lets you simulate pressing buttons on the
Apple Remote ( Figure 12 ). The large area in the middle of the screen is called the gestures
area and acts like a trackpad, letting you swipe in different directions to control the Apple
TV.TappingthegesturesareaisthesameaspressingtheSelectbuttonontheAppleRemote.
To navigate, swipe your finger over the gestures area. For example, swiping up would do the
same thing as pressing Up on the Apple Remote.
