Can I use the iOS remote app to rate iTunes songs on my Mac

I have the Apple iOS remote app on my iPad I was wondering if I could use this to rate songs as I'm listening to them instead of having to walk to my Mac and and change the rating in iTunes

An Apple TV has an interface that requires navigation, the alternative was offered to counter the need for your TV (if one was using home sharing they would also need a computer up and running). If the content is being streamed using airplay then you can change the content using your IOS device remotely.
If that does not work for you, can provide feedback to Apple if you wish.

HT1947 "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played using the iOS remote app.

Tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played through the Apple TV using the iOS remote app. The whole thing seem uber-anti-intuitive. I am a long time user (as much and anyone is long time for any of this stuff) of the iOS remote app, and ATV to play music though a stereo system. Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could sit in my chair, start the iPhone remote app, pick a playlist and either start from the beginning, or if the first track didn't grab me at that moment, go ahead and switch to, say, track 6 -- the whole playlist would "sit there" and be available for further browsing. With the new system, if I hit a playlist the songs will go into "Up Next". If as I described in the last sentence, the first song is not getting it for me, and I switch to track 6 , the "Up Next" list is lopped off and only tracks 7 onward will be shown. I can't go back and browse the first 5 tracks (6 actually) -- they're vaporized. The idea of browsing your own music has been killed; I guess this "Up Next" concept is for folks who like maybe a couple of dozen songs that are picked from different places and want to play them in different orders of something -- it just seems like a crummy idea. If under the scenario I described I want to go back and play that first (or second through fifth) song on the original playlist, I have to go out and fish it out of the library somehow and just keep messing around and around. There have been times when I didn't know what the heck was going to come out of the speakers. It seems like the remote user has not been considered in the "dramatically improved" iTunes 11", with the "cleaner user interface" . To me it is "dramatically akin to dog-doo", which, of course is not cleaner than much of anything. If I can't get this working decently, then I'm really thinking of investigating some other type of system like DLNA. Any suggestions?

Same problem here. I have so many problems with this remote app. Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

Hi all,
I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
I've tried both methods, and neither work!
Here's what happens for each method:
From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

How do you "Add a Device" from the iOS remote app multiple times?

Anyone know a way to trigger the "Add a device" feature in the iOS remote app after you've already added one?
I have multiple Apple TVs scattered around the house and multiple people who would like to use them. I have home sharing set up through my Apple ID so this works great for me. For everyone else, I'd rather not sign my account in on their devices, even if its just for home sharing. They can "Add a device" in the remote app to connect to one of the Apple TVs, but only one.
I'm using iOS 8, iPhone 5s and 6, Apple TVs 2nd and 3rd Gen

I would rather not sign my account into other people's devices.
As I mentioned, I already have my own devices signed into home sharing.
Alternatively, is there a way to get an Apple TV attached to multiple home sharing accounts?
If there is, I could have each of the people in my household set up home sharing on their own accounts.

Can you use the apple remote to control tv programs?

Can you use the apple remote control like a tv remote to control tv programs & DVDs on the computer? Everything I've found about the Apple Remote talks about using it for products other than desktops. I watch some regular tv shows on my iMac & would like to be able to use a remote control.
I have a built-in infrared receiver.
Thanks!

You should be able to control DVD playback now with the Apple Remote. You may be able to get a bit of functionality with web sites by using Remote Buddy by using it as a virtual mouse and keyboard:

but you're not going to get anything close to the sort of functionality you'd get with a remote and a TV.

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple TV products and not with my Netflix app-the Home TV icon only shows with Apple products.
I had hoped that I could use my Laptop Pro for unrelated tasks while I watch a movie-I have chosen TV only on the drop down. I dont seem to be able to seperate the two

The movies do not download onto apple TV it shows them as purchased and you need to stream them down. If you want to show your purchased music on Apple TV you need to sign up for iTunes Match.
There seem to be a few glitches with iTunes Match so i just use the computer icon to listen to music on my computer through Apple TV. If you have your Movies and TV shows on your computer this is where you will find them.
The Movies and TV Shows buttons on the main page of Apple TV show you films and tv shows you have purcahsed or cen rent or purchase.
You can also sync your Photos over as well. Method is slightly different in that in iTunes on the computer
File > HomeSharing > Choose photos to share with Apple TV

Can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

No, changes done on the iPad will not sync back to iPhoto on your mac.
But you can transfer the edited photos back to your mac - share them to the camera role or send them by mail. Any edited image you add to the camera roll can be imported into your iPhoto Library, when you connect your iPad to yourmac via USB.
But there is no real syncing of iPhoto libraries on your mac and IOS devices.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

Can I use the MSI Gaming App OC settings in Afterburner then uninstall Gaming Ap

Hello all,
I finally bought an MSI GTX 760 TF OC Gaming Edition GPU last week. Unfortunately the OC isn't programmed into the BIOS and to get the highest Factory OC I need to use the MSI Gaming App. The problem is it does not start with Windows or remember your last Clock Selection.
I know Afterburner can start with Windows and apply your last selected profile.
So can I......
1. Open Gaming App and select OC.
Open GPU-Z and see how much the Clock Speed has increased.
Restore the default Clock (Gaming).
Open Afterburner and apply the same increase to the clock value as the Gaming App gave me.
Save the profile.
Tick the 'Start with Windows' box.
Uninstall the Gaming App.
2. Will the above effectively apply the same OC as the gaming App and therfore make the Gaming App obsolete?
3. Also I've read on some forums that Afterburner will only OC the MSI card if the gaming App is installed. I'm away from home so cannot test any of this. Maybe this was the case with the original version of the gaming app. can anyone confirm?
4. Also I've read people reporting that once the OC has been applied it is locked at this high clock and doesn't downclock when idle. From what I've seen the Gaming App does downclock depending on GPU demand. As does Afterburner. Can anyone confirm?
I don't know why MSI did things this way. It's a Gaming Edition card so there should be a way of applying the factory OC and leaving it set that way. The Gaming App is a nice simple little tool but as a bare minimum they should let us start it with Windows and automatically apply the last selected Clock profile.
Dragging the shortcut into the start-up folder doesn't work for me. And even if it did, the last profile selection is not remembered.
To be honest, the Gaming App is ideal for me but only if I can set it and forget it. There should be a box (like there is in Afterburner) that starts the Gaming App when Windows starts and applies the last Clock profile selected.
Now that would be simple. Afterburner is great and gives you lots of control. But I just want the OC that MSI have created. It should be set at BIOS level for a so-called OC Gaming Edition card.
From the official Afterburner Guide on this forum....
"Another thing which needs to be kept in mind is that maximum clockrates for the latest GeForce GTX7xx Gaming requires running >>Gaming APP<<. Switch to Gaming Mode (N770 TF 2GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 770 GAMING)) or OC Mode (N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING)) to allow maximum boost clockrates."
Many thanks in advance,

Sure you can set these settings (clock rate etc) in afterburner and you should be good to go. Just for stability, run a benchmark. It should be same OC as Gaming App applies, but GApp might change voltages (never used it so not sure).
Afterburner works with ANY brand's card. However MSI Gaming App not.
However if you change settings in Nvidia control panel in : 3D settings -> Global Settings -> Power management mode -> change from Adaptive to Prefer max performance. After this card will neved downclock even at idle.

I can't use the "report a problem" Function in iTunes!

I am trying to report a problem with an in-app purchase I made. I can see it on the receipt, however, when I click the "report a problem" button, it redirects me to the Apple Support home page, how do I go about reporting a problem with that purchase?

HT4759 How can i use the find iphone app to find my ipod without i cloud ?

My ipod has gone and i want to find it please i ned ur help it doesnt include icloud

It sounds like you need some clarification.
Find my iPhone = Find my iPod = Find my iPad = Find my Mac: a service that lets you locate any of those devices, assuming you turned it on on that device before you lost it.
iCloud: Find my iPhone (and friends) is one of the many iCloud services.
That being said, did you turn on Find my iPod on your iPod before you lost it? If so, go to icloud.com or use the Find my iPhone app on anyone's iOS device and log in.
If you did not turn on Find my iPod, then you're out of luck.

Can I use the new Photos app with Lightroom?

I have been a user of Aperture but with the new Photos app I can no longer do that. Will Lightroom work with the new Photos app? I want better editing tools than Photos offers.

No, Lightroom and Photos cannot share a Library. They are both Photo Managers (neither is actually an editor) with non-destructive processing. The only way to get from one to another is to export to the Finder then import to the second app. It's hard to see a workflow that encompasses both apps.
Really you need to decide which app you want to use to manage your Photos: Photos is a free app geared at the consumer with a phone or point and shoot. Lightroom is geared for the serious hobbyist or Pro with a DSLR, Which photographer are you? Best to pick one horse and ride it.
