I lost my remote for my Apple TV, and we were using the Remote App, but we recently downloaded a new update for the Apple TV and the update kept us from watching Movies. I did a restore on the Apple TV, but now the Remote App cannot find my Apple TV. How do I fix this?

Are you sure the iPhone and Apple TV are connected to the same network? – Emil Feb 8 at 23:04
Just to clarify – do you currently have a remote you can use to manouvre the Apple TV, or was the iOS app your only option until it failed? – Emil Feb 8 at 23:15

Have you deleted the original pairing from your Remote app to the Apple TV? I know I have had issues with my iTunes library not connecting after a OS reinstall even though I was connected to the same library, deleting the pairing and then reconnecting fixed my issue.

This will be great if the OP really needs the infrared remote fixed/paired, but might need some more steps / another article on getting the iOS remote app paired with the device. – bmike♦ Feb 8 at 23:14
