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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I set the Remote app to work if I have lost my apple remote?

    I lost my remote to my Apple TV and I can't go into town to get another at the moment because there was a lot of snow and ice here. So, I'm wondering how I can set my iPhone 5 up as a remote using the remote app without the normal remote. I know the remote app used to auto-connect to the Apple TV, but since recent updates, you have to set it up as a remote on the actual Apple TV itself. Is there a way to get around this? Thanks in advance!

  • 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

  • How do I connect the remote app on my iDevice to my computer?

    I've seen this question asked plenty of times and have followed all of the suggested fixes and still cannot figure this out.
    I am running Windows 8, with iTunes version 11.0.5
    My iDevice is an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.1.3
    My Remote app is version 3.0.1
    On the Remote app, all I see (other than the settings icon) is
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or Apple TV using the account (my account name)
    I have turned on Home Sharing for both iTunes, as well as my iPhone.
    I have went to "Settings>Music>Turn on Home Sharing" This is on.
    I have opened iTunes and went to "File>Home Sharing>Turn Home Sharing on."
    I have opened the remote app. "Settings" Home Sharing is on.
    Each of these are using the same Apple ID.
    I have tried deleting the app and redownloading it.
    I have tried restarting my computer.
    I have tried exiting/signing out of iTunes.
    I have tried turning my phone off, and back on again.
    I have checked my firewall settings, and iTunes is allowed.
    Both my PC, and my iPhone are connected to the same network. The iPhone wirelessly, and my desktop is hardwired.
    I have seen many other people say "Where is the remote button?" With the reply "There is no remote button."
    I have not found this button either. When I go onto the Remote app on my iPhone and go to settings, there is an option to "Add an iTunes Library."
    When I press this, I get a four digit code and the message, "To add an iTunes library, open iTunes on your computer and select "Don's iPhone" from the Devices list."
    When going to iTunes "File>Devices" I get the following.
    Sync. Transfer Purchases. Back Up. Restore From Backup.
    I have read in other related posts that your iDevice is supposed to show up on the top right of the screen, next to the iTunes Store button.
    This does not happen for me, unless I plug in my iDevice via USB.
    I have also read that the "Remote" button is supposed to be located here, but I cannot find one.
    In the iTunes "Help>iTunes Help>Search Remote>Use the Remote app to control your iTunes library>Pair Remote with an iTunes library" It states:
    Tap Remote on your device’s Home screen.
    Tap Add an iTunes Library.A 4-digit code appears.
    Open iTunes on your computer and click the Remote button .
    Type the 4-digit code in the iTunes window.iTunes pairs the library on your computer with the Remote app on your device."
    Of course, I cannot find this Remote button as mentioned before. I have run out of option on what I know to do, and what suggestions I have found to try.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Thank you for the reply.
    ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
    ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
    When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
    I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

  • How can I use the Gmail app on the Watch?

    I do not use the Mail app on any of my Apple devices.  How can I use the Gmail app on the Watch?

    Since Google has not added watch support to the gmail app, you don't. You should be able to get notifications, but at this time, there is no gmail app for the watch.

  • 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

    It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
    I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

    What?
    You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
    And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
    No, this will not work.
    Just create a network with your notebook.

    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?

  • 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 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.

    Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

    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.
