Apple TV not showing amongst devices to "search"
Hello there.
I have a very small apple ecosystem - just an apple TV HD.
The issue is that my kid has misplaced the remote, and I can't find it anywhere, despite having turned my house upside down.
That said, I know it's nearby. When I turn on my appletv, it will sometimes connects with the remote, showning me that it's in the range of the antenna, though probably near it's limit (sometimes the connection gets lost).
I looked up and saw that with an appleTV with the operating system benig above 17.1, and with an iphone or ipad also above 17.1, you can use the device location to search for the remote.
My appleTV does support it - it's above 18; However, again, I don't have an Iphone or Ipad.
I looked up and saw that you can login to icloud on an android device to use that function; however, when I do that, my remote does not appear amongst the options to search.
I have the appletv properly registered in my apple account so it should show up.
So, I guess my question is, is there anyway I can refresh my devices to see if it will show up, so I can take advantage of the search function?
Thanks in advance,
FredLC
