Apple remote is launching itunes instead of controlling the current application

I have a MacMini runnning Lion that I am trying to use as a Media Centre. Obviously no Front Row so I installed XBMC which works ok but Apple Remote failes to control it on a regular basis and launches itunes instead. If I restart the mac then it works ok for a few days but then for no apparent reason it just stops and reverts to only controlling itunes.
Does anyone have an idea why and what I can do to control the Apple Remote more.
I am also running eyeTV.

Are you talking about the Apple Remote app (that runs on iOS)? or the physical remote control that used to come with the system?

Can I create and manage collections in itunes instead of on the ipad?

Can I create and manage collections in itunes instead of on the ipad? I have hundreds (maybe thousands) of PDF files for technical work items that I need to categorize and use on my ipad but it is a bit cumbersome to manually move them one at a time on the ipad.

While you can add pdf files to iTunes it is not really intended to be used for organizing things other than a music collection. It will only accept PDF files and media (audio, movie) files. On the other hand if you can creatively come up with a way to make it work for you then go for it.

Hi Markie,
It's not in the top window now, it's in the main section. When you plug your iPod in click on it and at the bottom of the window the Capacity pole changes as it adds stuff.
Is that what you're looking for?

Is there any way to to have the "Home" icon open a new tab instead of replacing the current page with the home page?

I would prefer that the "Home" icon on the Navigation Toolbar open a new tab instead of replacing the current tab with the home page. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thank you.

If you middle-click on the home icon it will open a new tab containing the home page.

Unable to pair Apple Remote App with iTunes

I am running a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 with Windows Vista SP 2. My iTunes software is 8.2.1.6, and my iPhone 3GS is running OS 3.0.1 (7A400). Both the Satellite and iPhone are connected to the same WiFi local network, and yet the App "Remote" by Apple Software is unable to communicate with iTunes to allow the entry of the four digit code to establish control of the iTunes library. Shortly after purchasing the iPhone 3GS I purchased the Satellite, but in the couple of weeks between the purchases the Remote App worked fine on my Gateway running Windows XP SP2. I have been through Apple Telephone support twice, and have really run one of the technicians through the mill researching possible solutions. I have visited an Apple Store Genius, who could find no reason for the problem. The iPhone and Remote App worked perfectly well on the store's WiFi and Mac, but his iPhone also wouldn't work with my laptop. I have been through Kaspersky's technical support system to ensure that there isn't a firewall issue. They have assured me, after reviewing logs from my laptop, that this is not the case. I even went so far as to uninstall all my Kaspersky product, but the Apple Remote App still would not function properly. I have updated the router's firmware, and checked that the laptop's wireless card is running the latest driver. At this point I can't think of anything else to try but would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Steve

Monday 7th Jan.
Just to say that Apple did call me this am to discuss the problem on foot of a call I made last week.
In the meantime the remote worked with both a 2007 IMac and a 2009 laptop but not on the m-mini.
When I tried pairing this morning during the call by pressing Menu and next together it paired.
The change is very subtle, it just says paired in the advanced section of the security et sl section as referred before, with a fleeting 2 intersecting rings icon.
The big difference is that Front Row is gone....
The remote only works to a limited degree within some apps such as iTunes and iPhotos.
In theory it controls the volume in iTunes but as of now for me it doesnt....:( need to look more.
As to what the problem was:
It seems there is a set of keyboard combinations that can be used to force a reset the ID of the remote, the suggestion is MAYBE that by getting it to work on the iMac and laptop in some way reset the ID.
This stuff is WAY beyond my skill level:)
I did impress upon Apple the need to look at the issue in threads like this....

Apple Remote Desktop and Itunes

I am using Apple remote desktop to connect to several servers with several users on each server. When Itunes is playing and I try to fast user switch, it will stop playing itunes on the user I am switching from.
Is anyone familiar with any problems like this? It is blowing my mind!
I am running the latest version of both Itunes and ARD.
Thanks!
Mike

It is if you are trying to stream it.
Users may want to stream their music into a third party program such as Ventrilo (as I do) to share their music (but not their libraries) with other listeners and speak on Ventrilo at the same time. You need two user profiles running Ventrilo at the same time, and two user profiles running iTunes.
When I roll over to User Profile #2 after setting up iTunes to stream into Vent in User Profile #1, iTunes stops playing. This is a recent change. It's annoying.
How do I change it?

I purchased a iPhone from a individual, so, it has all his information as far as signing into iTunes...I want to change the Apple ID/e-mail on my iPhone and iTune account without loosing the current information/settings on my iphone.

Everyone that has or had a iPhone, if they did not buy from the dealer, they purchased it from a individual...in most cases, the phone has to be unlocked unless it's being used with the same carrier as the seller. My question is, when you purchase the phone from a individual and it has been unlock and has the seller's information...e-mail/Apple ID information for iTunes..so I can't purchase anything from the apple store because I don't have his password...I was wondering how do I change that without resetting it to the original settings, is there any way I can purchase from the iTune Store with my own Apple ID. Since he does not own this phone anymore, there should be a way to change that....I am just wondering...HELP?
I sold my first iPhone, it was unlocked, and the guy that purchased my phone, set up it so he could use his own Apple ID, but, I never asked how he did that, because I did not think at the time I would purchase another iPhone... anyhow, does anyone have the answer...please advise...thanks in advance...

Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID.

Hi, i want to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes i have downloaded the app, turned on home shareing on my laptop and they dont seem to be talking.

hi,
i have dowloaded the app "remote" to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes library, i have turned on home shareing on my laptop. they dont seem to be talking to each other. i have also tried the other way of adding a library on my iphone, but my laptop wont show my phone on the devices list.
anyhelp would be apreciated

Turn off home sharing, you don't need that. Open Itunes Preferences from the computer. Go to the devices section. At the bottom you will see the option to add a remote access that and follow the steps.

Apple Remote desktop connections to anoter compter though the internet

I recently purchased Apple Remote Desktop 3.2 and I was told that it can be used to remotely connect to another computer at my office from my home. I have tried to add it by add computer by address but it comes up with an error message and can not connect. I am sure I have the right IP and user name/password. If you can please give me any documents on how to do this task and or tell me step by step how to do it. thanks I just want to remote log in in to a mac that on another network using remote desktop. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

The subject of connecting ARD via the Internet has been covered here many times already. Search the forum for "Internet" and you should find multiple posts on the topic. You can also look at this web page if it's back on line (it was down when I last tried it):
http://www.starklmc.com/ard.htm
It should help, though you may have to refer to your router's documentation for specifics on opening and forward ports in that particular unit.

Hello Keaton44,
I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
If you need to re download the movies you bought from iTunes you can do that free of charge with this article.

Apple remote works but doesn't connect to the iMac

My remote worked when I first got, over the last few weeks I have been unable to use it. I have been through all the test that Apple suggest and the remote is working fine, I can't think of anything in the room that would interfere with it.

I have fixed it, I turned of the IR off, did a restart and turned it back on and it is working fine now

Does the iTunes Auto-updater Realize the Currently Installed Version is 64?

I installed iTunes64Setup.exe for v7.6 before. ONce installed, there is virtually no way to tell it is the 64-bit version (about iTunes, etc.)
Today the iTunes auto updater alerted me to udpate to v7.7.1. How do I know it recognizes I need the 64-bit version instead of the regular Xp/Vista32 version?

How to enable remote debugging for a session other than the current one

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to enable remote debugging for a session other than the one I am currently using.
More specifically, we have an application that is making database calls to Oracle 11gR2. Something is causing an exception during this invocation. My system is currently not set up to recompile said application, so I can't just add the debug call to the code and recompile. Therefore I would like to be able to log into the database (as sys, if necessary) and invoke dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp on the desired session.
The docs indicate that I should be able to do so:
dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp(
host IN VARCHAR2,
port IN VARCHAR2,
session_id IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
session_serial IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
debug_role IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
debug_role_pwd IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
option_flags IN PLS_INTEGER := 0,
extensions_cmd_set IN PLS_INTEGER := 128);
But when I try (even as sys), I get the following:
exec dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp('1.2.3.4',5678,<session id>,<session serial>);ORA-00022: invalid session ID; access denied
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
ORA-06512: at line 1
00022. 00000 - "invalid session ID; access denied"
*Cause: Either the session specified does not exist or the caller
does not have the privilege to access it.
*Action: Specify a valid session ID that you have privilege to access,
that is either you own it or you have the CHANGE_USER privilege.
I've tried granting the 'BECOME USER' privilege for the relevant users, but that didn't help. I read something about having to set some kind of ACL as of 11gR1, but the reference documentation was very confusing.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Is this even possible, or did I misread the documentation?

Interesting deduction, that would be very useful indeed. I hate recompiling just to add the debug call, and it can't be done in our production environment. But it seems unlikely to me it would be implemented this way.
I would cross-post this in the SQL AND PL/SQL forum though, as this is really a database issue, not with the SQL Developer tool. Do add the links to the other posts in each.
Regards,
K.
