Can I use the "Remote" app to turn the Apple TV on and off?

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.

HT1555 I reset Apple TV using the remote app without having the physical remote control. Now I am unable to use the menu items to reset it up without the physical remote and the Remote apps on my other Apple devices will no longer control it. What can I

I lost my physical remote for Apple TV and the Remote apps on all my other devices no longer control it. What can I do?

You need to find your old remote or buy a new one.

TS1741 the remote app keeps forgetting the itunes library

The remote app works once only when connected. Prior to the most recent Remote update, it would always find my library. I now have to go to File, Home Sharing, then turn it off an on again. A bit of a pain. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this apparent fault?

Thanks!! This finally solved my problems (I have a wireless router that came with my Verizon FIOS) as my firewall, antivirus settings, and other settings were not the problem or were in accordance with other threads on this matter. I am now finally able to concurrently access my 4 Airport Express Devices (setup wirelessly and hooked up to home theater system, portable speakers, & stereo system in different rooms) via Itunes from my two networked (ethernet cable) PCs (One running Vista and the other running Windows 7) and my Daughter's Mac (wireless), plus use my IPOD Touches as remotes for two of the PCs (Of course, they are accessing the same wireless network).
In addition to one of the IPOD touches being used as a remote for a PC playing Itunes, I can concurrently use it to play the Music App (for music actually resident on the IPOD) using Airply and directing to the 4th Airport Express.
Each Itunes program on each computer or IPOD Touch is playing it's own Library and different songs. Of course, although I'm doing this concurrently, all deivces are directed to a different Airport Express device. This is all being done using one wireless router with all wired devices on the same segment. Although I have noticed that I have to start one PC first before the other before this all works (don't know why), the MAC never gives a problem.
Note related to this issue, it would be great if I could run multiple instances of iTunes on the same computer using different Music Libraries and directing it to different Airport Express devices in addition to the above.

Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display... Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

Working fine on my system
If on wifi, try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date
Reboot all components

I am billed 3 times for the same App. I contacted Apple Rebate Centre and ask me to call Sales and Service team at 1-800-676-2755 for assistance. When I called this number outside the US, I got a recorded message to say that this number is invalid.

I further contact the lady from the the Rebate Centre for the email of the Apples Sales and Service. She replied that they do have one. This is strange at this stone age. Can anyone help?

There is a 'Report a Problem' link below the item you have been charged for on every email receipt of your order. Have you tried that link?

I can use the Remote app to access my Itunes but cannot make it work with appletv

I can currently use remote app on my Ipad2 to access my windows desktop itunes library. I cannot use the remote to access appleTV. I am setting something up wrong? Home sharing is turned on, apple tv can access the internet no problem. The remote app just connects to my itunes library and that's it
thanks for any help.

The remote app requires home sharing to be enabled on Apple TV and both to be on the same network. If those aren't in place you will need to purchase a new remote.

HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

HT1947 What happened to the keyboard search function on the remote app?

What happened to the keyboard search function on the remote app? Was the only thing that really made it useful.

I am having the same issue. I can see a dimmed keyboard icon on the top right of screen, but cannot access the keyboard to enter information for Apple TV 2. Is anyone else having the same issue and are there any solutions to fix the problem?

IPod Touch will not update when using iTunes Remote App...

Hi all, hoping that someone can help here...
I am using a couple of iPod Touch's to control my iTunes and Airport via the Remote App. In the main the whole thing works really well with wireless music all over the house via Airport and Apple TV.
The main frustration is that the Touch's have stopped updating as the tracks change. This used to work but unfortunately didn't notice when it stopped.
If I play anything, iTunes DJ, playlist etc... it appears that the first track is the one that displays unless I close the app and re-open.
I can still play/pause/ffwd/rwd and it all works despite what is showing on the screens which is really confusing...
The the two iPhone 4's and the iPad 2 work perfectly so am at a loss as to figure out how/why etc.
I run iTunes on a WinXP machine, with iTunes 10.2.1.1 and the iPod Touch's are both running 4.2.1 (8C148). On is model MB533BT and one is MB528BT.
Any help/suggestions greatfully appreciated.
Thanks all

UPDATE:
Whilst I was typing this I noticed that whilst in the study both iPods updated with each track change for some considerable time. I do wonder whether there is something in this as the router was less than one metre away.
I also then noticed that the one that stopped updating was the 8Gb model MB528BT. The other unit, the 32Gb MB533BT has continued to work.
Completely flummoxed with this!

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.

HT1947 I can't connect my iPhone to my iTunes using the Remote app

I've looked at all the instructional help threads, done everything multiple times and when I connect my iPhone to iTunes, it still doesn't work. The Remote app icon doesn't show up under devices in iTunes. I have tried to reconfigure my iTunes settings but I can't find the option, "Look for ipod touch, iphone and ipad remotes" under my preferences. HELP!

If your iPhone is not seeing your computer, then something on your network is blocking it. Do you use any security software on your computer? Check your router to make sure that it is not blocking any of the following ports, referred to your router manual if you need to do so:
80 TCP (http)
123 TCP/UDP (time server)
443 TCP (https)
554 TCP/UDP (rtsp)
3689 TCP (daap)
5353 UDP (mdns)
Specifically, home sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with other devices.

HT1947 Can you use a mobile hotspot on your iPhone 4s to control the remote app?

Can you use your Iphone 4s as a moblie hotspot to control Itunes via the remote app?

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
