Best Remote Control App

I've read countless reviews on most of the iPad remotes for Mac, but remain hesitant to spend 30 bucks before I know more.
I'm not looking to access my iMac from outside my home, just through my Airport N Wireless network. Basically I need to turn my iPad into a visual touchscreen remote control.
"iTeleport" sounds good, but some users complain there's no RDP support... would that matter to someone who's exclusively using Mac OS?
"Desktop Connect" also sounds good with its touch screen control feature, but same issue with some users complaining it's too slow. Not sure if that's because they are connecting to a Windows machine vs a Mac? Or they're connecting over the internet rather than their home network?
Anyone tried any of these apps? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, i have also mocha vnc butmy mac wont respond wheni trie to login?
Could you help me?

How can I control the volume in a Apple Tv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.
Browsers like iswifter or photon may work for you, but don't hold your breath.
Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

How do I get the remote control app to work for a Sony HDD Hi Res audio player?

Can't get the iPhone remote control app to work for my HDD Hi Res Audio player. The app can "find" the player and I can turn on the power with the app but then can't get it to go to my music - can only use the "demo" tool with the demo info. What am I doing wrong?

Good day cb94!
I'd like to see if I can assist you with the Hi-Res Audio player. Please provide us the model, use this link to verify the model: http://esupport.sony.com/ Thank you! - Paul

Would like to see remote control apps, please.

Would really like to see Logmein (Ignition) or Teamviewer remote control app!!
I have left feedback with Logmein and Teamviewer Sales and Support to contact HP.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

just setup logmein on my windows 7 and connected from my touchpad via www.logmein.com seems to work except for the typical problem of webos intercepting taps and drags thinking I want to zoom or scroll the screen image rather than pass the tap/drag to the website why not provide option where the taps, zooms and drags are passed through when button down? also downloaded VNC CLIENT from catalog but not tried yet.... Any experience anyone?

Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).

Looking for remote control App (iPhone) to use with iMovie

I just got a Macbook Air, and my infrared Apple remote control doesn't work with it.
I wanted to be able to do presentations (in this case using iMovie) and be able to have a remote so that I could pause, go back, fast forward, i.e. the usual things a remote does.
There probably is a good App that I can install on my iPhone that will let me use my iPhone as a remote control, but I don't know which one. Any suggestions???? Ideally, it would be a bluetooth program (although Wi-Fi would work too) that would also work with other programs, like Keynote.
Thanks!

Well, I don't know much about this, but if you need to control the actual system in some way, you are going to need to use JNI (Java Native Interface), which is essentially embedding C/C++ code in your java app, which doesn't lend well to platform-independence. I too develop on a Mac, and there is a mailing list for Java related issues on the Mac. You can check it out at: http://developer.apple.com/java/
If you sign up for ADC (Apple Developer Connection, it's free), you can have access to these mailing lists. They've been quite helpful to me in the past. I don't mean to slam the forums here, but you are looking for a Mac specific solution, and you'd probably get more specific information on this mailing list. Hope this helps!!

Need to sign Lenovo in order to install our Remote Control app for our Customer - Help please!

Dear All,
Thank you for joining me into the Lenovo Community.
I am not certain if I have started the thread in the right place, if I have not, admins please help me transfer this thread where needed.
One of our Customers is going to purchase our Remote Control application, in order to access and remote control their Android Smartphones, from their Windows PCs (Windows Computers to access and remote control their Android phones). The Customer is using Lenovo as their smartphones (about 2000 of them).
However, our application needs to be signed by Lenovo in order to fully install and run on a Lenovo Android smartphone.
I do not have access to the Support department, nor to the Development department of Lenovo in China.
Is there a way that you would recommend I take, either by contacting Development directly, or Support, and where would that be? China or US?
Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon.
kind regards,
Michael Chatzilias

Use the "auto search" feature of the remote to see get the code.
In the manual, it's under "WHAT IF NONE OF THE CODES WORKED"
Here's a summary:
program the TV, use code 922
Press Play
then Press Fast forward.
Keep pressing fast forward until your tv turns off (go slow, if you go to fast you can use rewind to go back a code).
when it turns off, the remote found the code, press OK to save it.

N8 as PC Remote Control App

Is there any app that turn our N8 to remote (e.g. via bluetooth or WiFi) to control our desktop or laptop?
After research, tHere are several apps (such as logitech touchmouse...) for iphone but none for N8.
Is nokia developer are planning to release one? I don't feel comfortable to use any none legistimate apps to control the pc anyway. i guess app from some company like logitech app is okay.
I think the problem with nokia now is the lack of good apps such as this one....
Nokia fan (but start to favor toward iphone now )
P.s. btw, is there an easy way to record a phone conversation on n8?

Thanks, wateratz.
but that is more like a remote desktop protocol, which is a little too much more than what i'm looking for... and frankly, i don't feel comfortable to install any of those kind of applications (unknown source code or non-legistemate company) on my computer or phone... i wish they integrated this kind of feature into the the phone.
anyway, i'm just looking for a simple apps that transforms our N8 to wireless mouse & keyboard so we can use it to control our htpc/media center from couch, etc.

How to backup new learned remote-control data for the IR-remote APP???

Hello @ all,
does anybody know a way to backup the new learned remote control on XPERIA Z Tablet?
I found a database under:
"system/vendor/etc/sony-ir-remote/db"
But after I've saved new learned remote controls the date and the size of these DB's
are the same as before. Therefore the IR-remote control APP dosn't save the new data
in these files.
Furthermore there isn't a button in the remote-control APP to backup new learned remote controls.
And I can't choose the remote control APP in the backup function APP from the XPERIA Z Tablet
to save the data. Also the backup with the Sony PC Companion Software dosn't save the learned
remote controls. Who develops such a dross mobile software?
Sorry SONY, but you have the most unpalatable support I've lived to see!
The first SONY support center refered me to another support center.
The mobile support center does not answer to my questions per mail.
Then I call the mobile support center. The answers were shallow and standard.
The support engineer want to ask the development and call back.
However, I am still waiting for promised recall.

I am facing the same problem.
I have spend a few days to configure and train my Sony tablet to configure for all my remotes such as aircon and lighting. I did a backup using the Sony companion to my PC. When my tablet was faulty and serviced. But the backup did not recover the IR remote settings and codes which I programmed previously. I also tried your backup restore app but it also does not save the configuration.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for me to backup the settings.
Please provide the folders and path of where the IR REMOTE settings and personal configuration and codes trained were kept so that I could back them up. Are these path protected area that required rooted access?
Hope that Sony could update the app to include backup of new trained codes and settings and in the meantime to provide a procedure of how to backup the setting and trained IR codes with or without rooting the device.

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...

Sony camera Smart RemoteControlsony camera smart remote control installation

I am trying to install the Smart Remote Control app on my iPhone for use with a6000. I install the PlayMemories parent app on my iMac (running Mavericks) but that parent app does not show up in Applications? ??? Any help in getting the latter installed or the former would be appreciated

I never heard of such a device but there's a bunch of stuff in Google:
"Results 1 - 10 of about 611,000 for "long distance remote control."
Your best bet would probably be a telephone, with the person at the other end in the same room as the camera.

How can I use my Iphone as a remote control?

How can I use my Iphone 6 as a remote control?

If you are referring to an Apple TV or iTunes remote control then download the "Remote" app from the app store.
If you are referring to a remote control for your TV, Cable box, DVD Player etc then you cannot use your iPhone as a remote for these things unless they are wifi connected and have a remote control app on the app store.

How can I remotely control what iTunes song my iMac is playing to multiple AppleTV's?

So I own an iMac that has homesharing enabled. I then tell the iMac to play to both of my AppleTV's by holding OPTION key down while clicking on Airplay, and checking off the devices that I want it to stream to filling my home with sound that is in sync in every room. Works beautifully. Only problem is that I can not then control the iMac remotely from let's say the bedroom to pick a new artist. The ATV's become dumb clients simply playing what the iMac is pumping to them. Is there a remote interface that allows me to control iTunes on the iMac to choose the sounds being broadcast to the other Apple devices?
NO. VNC is a ghetto work around to accomplish this. Yes, I could do that, but it is inefficient, and inelegant. I am looking for a remote control app with the functionality that allows me to connect to and see the device that I want to control, and then by choosing my iMac, see all artists/albums/songs, play them and let the iMac pump the tunes to the devices that I told iTunes to Airplay to.
Ideally, the AppleTV's should know that they are acting as clients to the iMac serving centrally, but when I pick up an AppleTV remote, it overrides the stream from the iMac, and then the ATV begins streaming independently from the other. I KNOW there is a solution to this...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Adam

ok... solved it. By using the Apple Remote app, you can tell the app to control your iMac (I did not know that) and that solved the issue. Now the iMac plays the song I want to all of the devices that I told the iMac to play to. Perfect.

Remote control and MCE remote on Windows

I am having issues with the remote control app on the Tablet S1 and MCE remotes on Windows 7 (64-bit). After learning the buttons for the MCE remote, pressing the same button more than once from the app does not do anything. For example, if I press the Up button the first time, it works fine. But if I press the Up button again, nothing happens. I have verified that the original MCE remote works as expected, and I have also verified that the tablet and the remote control app works with the MCE receiver connected to Ubuntu 11.10. Is anyone else running into this problem? How will the remote control app get updated (via the market or from system update)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Welcome to the User Discussion Forums
If you have issues with the UP button, you can reprogram just the UP button without starting over
Please follow this guide to re Learn an existing button within your Remote
https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/34897/c/65,66/kw/34897
If relearning the UP button does not resolve your issue we suggest calling in for assistance.
