Can I use Remote app on iPad to control RENTED (read Rented) movies on Apple TV?
I use the Remote App on my iPad to control movies on my Apple TV, but those are movies that I own and are resident on my home network.
What about controlling a rented movie that is aquired through iTunes Store? I would like to be able to control rented content just the same.
Please advise?
I have the older version of Apple TV – maybe controlling rented movies with ipad can be done with newere Apple TV and iOS 5 on all devices?
Ok, thanks, now I see the very inconspicuous little "control pad" icon in bottom right corner of Remote App. How the **** is a guy supposed know what that means? Why not just put a button labled with "Control Pad" or something on it?
Thanks just the same. Now that I know that, it works really slick. I can start/stop/pause rented movies and use my iPad as remote touch pad to navigate anywhere on the Apple TV menu. Nice.
Can't wait for the "real" Apple TV set to come out.

My daughter has used our iPad for her Apple account and now I can't use the App store because her username automatically shows up in the Apple ID window. How do I change that so I can put our Apple ID in with the appropriate Password?
Open Settings -> Store
Tap on the Apple ID shown and sign out. Then sign in with your own Apple ID.

How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?
how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?
No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

Getting Apple TV to play music from iTunes using Remote App on iPad
Hi
I play my iTunes Library music on my Apple TV. I use the Remoe App to select songs etc.
However, if I stream (push) from iTunes to Apple TV the subwoofer does not play (this is a well know problem). However, if I pull the music from the Apple TV (by selecting computers) it plays as it should.
When using the Remote App on my iPhone 4S I simply select the Apple TV 3, then select "More" - "Computers" and then the library. Select the music and all is good. When I select More I get all sorts of different options (Albums, Composers, Computers and six others).
However, when I do the exact same thing on the Remote App on my iPad 2 I only get the options of Songs, Playlists, Genres and Composers - but not Computers.
It doesn't seem to make much sense, does it?
I can of course select the iTunes library on the iPad and stream to the Apple TV but then I get the subwoofer problem.
Any solutions?
Thanks!Press the Music In ... to the left of "Albums" at the bottom of the Remote App and select a different library to show in the app. That seems to do it.

How can I use remote app in a dorm?
I have the most recent version of the remote app for my iPhone 4S, and I'd like to control the iTunes on my 2010 MacBook Pro, but I am in a dorm, so I only have access to the communal "ResHall" wifi. Both my computer and my phone are on this network, but they will not recognize one another. I have turned Home Sharing on and off on both (in different orders as well, i.e. turn both off, turn homesharing on MacBook on first vs. on iPhone first), as well as verified that they are using the same Apple ID. My MacBook's firewall is already set to allow incoming data to iTunes. The router IP address is the same for both machines. Is there any quick (or not so quick, I'm open to anything at this point) way to use remote in a dorm like this?
Hey Ajthebassist,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty pairing the Remote app with iTunes. This article may be able to help in this situation.

I have gone through FAQ and tried all methods and checked settings in my iMac and my iOS devices (iPhone 4s and iPad2) and still can't useRemore app to control iTunes. I have used this app without a problem before with my old iPhone 3 and it worked fine.
What is wrong with it?Other than you have used it before and it worked - can you provide some more details? You don't see your iTunes library in the remote app?

Can you use remote app on separate iPhones/AppleID's?
I am trying to get the Apple remote app working on my wife's iPhone5. We have two Apple TV's (v.2 and v.3) and would like to get her up and running to control them usng her iPhone.
The remote app works fine when using my iPhone4S and iPad2. When I launch the app, I see icons for each of our libraries and both Apple TV's.
When she launches the app, she can see both of our libraries, but neither of the Apple TV's.
Additional Info:
My wife and I each have itunes/apple ID's/libraries on our respective computers. (OSX and WinXP)
We both have Home Sharing turned on, on our computers and phones.
The Apple TV's have both of our accounts set up in the Store settings.
We can each access both libraries and send them to each Apple TV.
I've been seaching the forums and trying everything I can think of. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
AndyOk, I see. I had to sign her into Home Sharing in the Apple Remote app itself. In Music settings, I have Home Sharing set up with her account.
All is well. Thanks! -
Hi, I am able to use Remote app on ipad to stream songs on pc ( iTunes library using home sharing ) to Apple TV. I would like to stream to bluetooth device. Is that possible?
Movie mode
continuous MPEG-4 video with audio capture/playback
Movie image resolution
VGA (640x480 pixels) at 13 fps
QVGA (320x240 pixels) at 20 fps
Movie length
limited by capacity of memory card or 5, 15, 30 second clips
Movie file format
Still: JPEG/EXIF v2.2.1; Video: QuickTime MOV (MPEG-4 compression)
This info is from the Kodak pages.
My only guess at the error message is the very odd 13 frames per second recording. I don't know what to suggest. -

Would appreciate in connecting Remote App on iPad to iTunes. It used to work find, before iTunes 11.0 - but now pop up window to input 4 digit code does not appear. Any ideas how to prompt window to open on iMac? Remote App works OK, but says that Home Sharing is not Turned On, although it is. Both devices are logged into my profile account.
You no longer need the 4 digit code in iTunes 11.
iTunes (10.0.1 or later)
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
iTunes 11 or newer: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to File > Home Sharing> Turn on Home Sharing.
iTunes 10.7 or older: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.
Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Mac or PC is also connected to.
Open the Remote app (software version 2.0 or later) on your mobile device.
Turn on Home Sharing in the Remote Settings screen. Make sure to sign into the same Home Sharing account you used to sign in to from iTunes on your computer.
Once Home sharing is enabled for both your computer and your mobile device, Remote app will be be able to view and control audio and video playback in your iTunes library.

Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about 20 mins. Need to turn off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now. -
The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is talking. How do I make the voice stop and my IPAD work again.
If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither -
How can I display more info using remote app?
Hi there,
I use remote app a lot, but I find it quite basic in the display features.
I mean: remote is great to browse my music library and play songs with on my living room hi-fi while I'm sitting comfortable on my sofa.
But what if I would like to know the release date of the album, the name of the composer, and so on?
Is there any way to configure the remote app to display more?
Is any kind of new release of the app on its way?
Thank you.Command (right) - click on a photo in the Photo tray and select Small Photo from the contextual menu:
This will give you two columns of photos.
To reduce the number of photos to select from one can select only Unplaced Photos to be displayed in the tray.
Happy Holidays -
If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!
wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review
