Can't use the remote app to enter itunes password on apple TV

the remote app on my iphone and ipad work really well as a remote control for my apple tv, however if I use the app to enter my Itunes password (typing it on the keyboard)it won't recognise it and I have to use the apple tv remote instead, any ideas?

Don't have an answer, but this guy http://tidbits.com/article/12126 says you can do it, but doesn't explain how. I would love to know - using YouTube on Apple TV is a complete pain cos you have to enter your search terms using the Apple Remote and it takes forever.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV doesn't switch on and of, it goes to sleep and wakes up, but yes you can perform these actions using the remote app.

  • TS1741 how can I use the remote app for my Apple TV when I am using the Apple TV away from home!?

    I'm traveling and using the Apple TV at the hotel but the remote app is not working cause I can't turn on home sharing from my p&c, cause its not here

    Most hotels tend to require a login to the network via browser, which the ATV doesn't have. You won't be able to access the network for any functions if that's the case.
    You may want to contact someone at the hotel to clarify.

  • TS1741 can you use the remote app on the iphone to control keynote on an iPad?

    can the remote app on an iphone be used to do/control presentations from keynote on an ipad?

    The remote app is used to control the iTunes library on your computer - not to control other iOS devices. That will not work.

  • HT1947 Can I use the remote app on my ipad to operate my iPhone?

    As the title reads really, if the answer is yes, how? I have the app, I have home sharing switched on, and I can control my lap top with my ipad but I can't find a way of operating the iPhone.
    Cheers

    No.  The remote app is for remotely controlling the iTunes library on a computer.

  • Using the Remote App and playing iTunes from a shared Library

    I have a playlist set up in my main iTunes library on my iMac.  This is a shared library on my local network at home.  I can access and play the library remotely from my MacBook.  I want to move my MacBook outside with external speakers for a party.  I want to be able to access the shared library from the iMac inside the house from my MacBook and be able to control it with the Remote App.
    My problem is that when I use Remote and the MacBook outside (I've set up the iTunes passcode with that computer and my iPod) it will only recognize the library on that computer, even if I am logged in to the shared library and it is visible in the MacBook.  So basically, remote is doing what it is suppose to do in a normal situation, but I need it to recognize and play from the shared library.
    When I turn on home sharing on the iPod I can access all the libraries on the various macs in our house, but the music will only play out of that particular machines speakers.
    I don't have wireless speakers, so I can't think of another way to do this.  Is there?
    Thanks, Sandy

    Well, I've got it to work although not ideal. 
    1. On my main computer (iMac) I created the playlist that I want available to control at a party.
    2. I went to iTunes settings/Sharing and selected "Share selected playlists" and checked the playlist I made for a party.
    3. I Linked my iPod to MacBook (which is outside with external speakers) using the 4 digit code
    4. iPod, Home Sharing Off
    5. Select the Library on iPod
    6. Select "More" (bottom right of iPod)
    7. Select "Shared" from the list that appears
    8. Select the computer that has the shared library
    9. Select the playlist (or lists if you created others)
    This setting is allowing me to use my iPod "Remote App" to play an iTunes playlist (or the entire catalogue) from a shared library on my MacBook WITH the sound coming from my MacBook and NOT from my iMac where the original iTunes catalogue is located.
    Not sure if this is the easiest way, but it's working.

  • How do I use the remote app on a dual band network?

    There are 2 routers in my home. One is dual band (SSID: NETGEAR49-5G). This one is being used as a 5GHz access point while the other (SSID: NETGEAR49) is being used as a 2.4GHz extender. However I can't use the Remote app to control my iTunes library, regardless of which router I connect to. I can't even use a passcode to add my library because I just keep getting an error saying I entered the wrong code. Strangely everything's fine if I turn off the 2.4GHz router, but I don't want to have to keep doing that. Is there any way I can configure the two routers so I can use the Remote app and other network-based services??

    Hi,
    I can tell you how it works on my iPhone.
    I click the Messages icon to open it.
    I click the box with pencil icon top right for New Message
    I start to type the name of the person I want to contact in the "To" spot.
    (Alternatively use the Blue + icon and select direct from Contacts list)
    I select the full name of Contact from any list if there are multiples.
    Once the person and their Contact option is selected I click on the text field at the bottom of screen
    Using the "keyboard" I type the Message and then  the Send button.

  • Can no longer use the Remote app on iPhone 5 or iPad 1

    Hi,
    I've long used the Remote app to control my iTunes library which I stream through two Airport Expresses. It's been a great solution for some time.
    However, since the latest updates, I can no longer do this. The iTunes library does not show up in the app, only a message telling me to turn on Home Sharing in iTunes.
    I have turned Sharing off and on on the iPhone, iPad and iTunes but have had no luck getting it to work.
    Any suggestions welcome!
    Thanks
    Phil

    Thanks Linc,
    well that *****... I guess I am going to have to reach out to the developers. It does not look like they are doing this anytime soon cause the website is pretty old in itself.
    Thanks for the info on this,
    Paul

  • My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

    My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the apple TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

    Yes I believe so. Try it and see you can always delete the Apple TV from a remote if it messes things up.
    But we have three remotes setup to do this. My iPhone and iPad and my wifes iPhone. She has a different iTunes logon but it seems to work fine

  • HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

    I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?
    Mats

    I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

  • I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • How can I make the 'remote' app work across a routed network?

    So, I have trusted and guest networks, with iTunes running on a Mac on the trusted network. I'd like iOS devices on the guest network to be able to use the 'remote' app, specifically the DJ function.
    I think there will be two components:
    -- service discovery. Apple likes mDNS (Bonjour), so possibly can be done like this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2751128?start=0&tstart=0 but one would need to figure out what service discovery records remote is looking for.
    -- traffic. Appropriate traffic would need to be allowed between the two networks.
    Has anyone looked at the wire traffic for remote, or gotten this to work?
    Thanks,
    Heath

    Welcome to the Apple Community Dylan.
    There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.
    If you already have homesharing set up on the Apple TV, you merely need to set it up in the remote app settings.

    Dear Apple friends,
    I have the exact same problem with some apps.
    Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
    Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
    I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
    Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
    Is there a fix for this issue?
    Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
    Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
    Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
    Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?
