Remote control iPhone 4 via Windows Laptop/Desktop

Hello,
I was wodnering if there was a way to remotely control my iPhone via my Windows Laptop? My speaker system is across the room which is hooked up to my iPhone, so everytime I want to change to a specific song or skip a song, I would have to get up and manually change it.
I have seen apps in the store that allow you use the iPhone control another apple device, or use your iPhone as the remote. However in this case, I want to use my computer as the remote.
Anyone have any ideas or tips? Thanks in advance.

Gave it a look, tried all the troubleshooting. My IP addresses are the same, so now I really don't understand. I'm just super confused. If it hadn't ever worked, I would just write it off as my university network being too strict... but now that it has worked once and really... nothing changed... I am just very confused.

Remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC with the new IPad

With the latest version of ITunes for both Win7 and the new IPad, I'm only able to use the new IPad to remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC through wired connection ( ethernet cable ) to the wireless router. As soon as I connect my PC through wireless connection, the new IPad can not find my libraries.
Is this a known issue or am I missing some settings?
Thanks,

Are you using the 64 bit installer?

HT204387 connect iphone 5s to windows laptop via bluetooth

I am trying to connect my iPhone 5s to my Windows Laptop via Bluetooth. The laptop can see the iPHone but cannot connect. What can I do?

Hello Rick,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s! To wirelessly sync your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be connected using a Wi-Fi network. I found an article that has the steps outlined on how to sync your iPhone wirelessly with iTunes:
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Remote control of Mac via Flash iOS app

Hi all
I am a very trial-and-error Flash coder but have managed to create a (I think) pretty serviceable VJ system - see http://www.smashedupsoiree.com/magic-wall/
There are two Flash movies that run concurrently on the same Mac. One is the video content itself which is displayed by a projector; the other is the Controller movie which runs on the mac laptop screen. The two movies communicate by LocalConnection. I have had some success using VNC apps on an ipad which grabs the screen from the Mac and therefore enables this Controller movie to be effectively operated as a touch screen, portable interface. However there are latency issues with VNC - not what you need for a live performance tool!
I am considering instead developing the controller as a packaged-for-ios app to reduce the latency issues. If I do so, does anyone know how it will be able to control the flash movie running on the mac on the same network? (In the vein of these kinds of apps: http://mashable.com/2010/02/28/iphone-remote-control-apps/ )? I have read that Local Connections do not work in Packaged-for-iOS apps. Would I instead use Apple APIs? How is this done via Flash Actionscript? I would want to either control the Mac-based movie like a LocalConnection or even simulating keypresses would be fine, that I can then detect with the Mac Flash movie.
As I mentioned before, I'm no professional coder so the whole matter is a bit blurry to me! Any pointers would be much appreciated...

How do I upload homemade videos from iPhone 3gs to windows laptop?

Hey Everyone,
I have been happily using my iphone 3GS for two years now and am just about to upgrade to the 4GS. I am transferring my data from my old phone to my windows laptop (fairly old generic model) so that I can restore the 3GS to factory settings before I part-exchange it for the new 4GS.
I have managed to sync my purchased music to my iTunes library on my laptop. I have managed to upload my photos from the Photostream on the 3GS to my Picasa account on my laptop. What I seem completely incapable of doing is uploading some 20-25 short (1-9mins max) homemade videos taken on my 3GS to my laptop. I have trying copying and pasting from the 3GS as it appears as a hard drive device on my laptop into a new folder, but it doesn't work. I have tryed to upload them via iTunes to no avail.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
The only option I can think of is to email myself individually from my 3GS all of the videos one by one, and then save them when I open my email account on my laptop. This seems long, laborious and surely unnecessary....I can't believe there isn't an easier way and I'm just missing it!!
I have no wifi at home and am using my 3GS as a modem connected to my laptop to attempt all of this. I live in Spain and am using the company Movistar on a 500MB monthly plan. I think I am using iOS 4....but it could be iOS 4. (point) something.....I have not been able to upgrade to iOS5 due to lack of wifi connection as the update takes over an hour.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Coz

Here's Apple's support document on the subject:

You could also use third-party software, like this, to do so:

Is it possible to change the genre of a song on an iPhone 5s (with no laptop/desktop)?

is it possible to change the genre of a song on an iPhone 5s (without using iTunes on a laptop/desktop)?

I could not find any way to do that. There is no way access the song information like you do through iTunes.

Trouble viewing videos taken with iPhone 4s on Windows laptop

I am having trouble viewing videos taken with my iPhone 4s on my Windows laptop. Here are my versions:
Windows 7
IOS 6.1.3
iTunes 11.0.3.0.42
Quicktime 7.7.4
The videos I am unable to play have been copied from my iPhone cache folder into another folder. The first issue I noticed was the thumbnail for the videos are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise in both folders. The videos were taken with the camera in the portrait position, as opposed to the camera being held sideways or the landscape position.
I tried to play the videos using iTunes and an error saying " iTunes has stopped working. Checking for a solution". Then I get, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Sadly, no solution has been sent to me.
If I try to use QuickTime, the videos "attempt" to play but the audio skips and locks or the video skips and locks. Eventually, the video completely stops. Also, there is a green bar on the left of the screen the runs from top to bottom. This bar is not visible in any other views of the videos.
If I try to use Windows Media Player, the videos play great, except they are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, like the thumbnails.
All of the videos still play perfectly on my iPhone 4s.
Thank you all in advance for your help.

One week and 41 views later, no one has a fix for this? Or is no one else encountering this issue??
Come on Apple! Step in on this one.

Is there any way to remotely control iPhone and iPad?

Hi All,
I'am investigating a way to remotely control and solve basic problems of iPhone and iPad's. As an enterprise company we have over 2000 iPhones and iPads in our corporate and we want our help desk professionals be able to connect these type of mobiles and help staff over the phone.
Is there a way to achieve this situation and could you please share with related articles about this sceneraio.
Thanks Already

No. There is no way to do so. Apps would not have access to the necessary APIs to do so as it would create a serious security risk.

Remote control not starting with window

Hi there
I have a X-Fi? sound card, with a remote control... I just want it to start with windows, but if I check " Acti'vete the RC when Windows Starts" , I still have to do it manually...
I've already tried to reinstall entertainment center, but it has no longer effects on it.
Do you know what I have to do ?
What kind of registry key should I add to get it automatically ?
Or, at least, what kind of shortcut do i have to put in "start" directory ?
Lots of questions, just problem
P.s. : sorry for my english speaking

I had to go through this process when an iCloud shared photostream would not display on the Apple TV screensaver.
Two easy solutions.
When you press the Menu button, does the Apple TV light blink? If not, go to the Second option below.
If yes, begin with the First option below.
First option:
Reboot Apple TV. Hold down the Menu button and the Down button at the same time until the light blinks, then unplug the device for six seconds, and plug it back in.
After the Apple TV reboots, see if your remote is working. If not, continue to the second option.
Second option:
Un-pair the remote, then re-pair the remote.
To un-pair it, hold down the Menu button and the Left button at the same time until an icon appears on the screen showing a remote with two cloud-like icons. That means the remote is un-paired.
To re-pair the remote - or to pair it with the Apple TV for the first time - hold down the Menu button and the Right button at the same time. It should pair with the Apple TV almost immediately.
Both options have worked for me, when occasional Apple TV issues happen.

Remote controlling iphone

Is it possible for me to send data, photos etc. to an iphone where the person who has the iphone can see the data, photos etc appear on their screen, but the data, photos etc. automatically appears on the iphone screen? The recipient of my data, photos etc. would NOT be required to touch the iphone screen (to "open" up my data, photos etc). The recipient would only be able to see what I send them and would not have any control over what I send them.

Hi there,
I'm considering buying either a Mac Mini or an Apple TV. My main purpose would be to have a low power consuming lossless music player, which I can control with my iPhone.
There isn't, imho, a single remote-control app that works so fluently with a musicplayer than iTunes works with my iPhone.
Now for the questions:
1. will I get the same interface
not quite. see this read http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/07/12/app-review-controller-for-itunes-apple-t v/.
2.if I've paired my Apple TV once, should I re-pair it every time I wanna re-use it (on other days)?
no. once paired it will stay paired. you just join your network, and connect to the content on your TV.

My remote controls the TV and my laptop

When I have my laptop in the room while I'm using Apple TV, the remote control controls both the computer and the TV. Front Row pops up in full screen mode. How can I make disable the remote on the laptop or better yet, sync the remote with the TV.

Had the same problem with one of my laptops and the TV... I ended up going into the Applications section, the utilities, system preferences, and the library sections of the computer and deleting EVERYTHING that said Front Row.
I know it's a bit of an extreme but it did seem to do the trick. Unfortunately I noticed the IR port in the front of the computer after I had done all that. Suppose it would have been easier to just put some tape or white out over it instead. Oh well....
