HT1947 iPad Remote App not picking up my .MP4 files on Server

Hi all, I've done everything in the guide article but when I open the App on iPad it says either "Connecting to your Library" or simply "loading" and just sits there for ages (all the time I've been searching the Community and writing this and its still loading - thats around half an hour at the moment). I have around 800 movies on a Synology DS413J so is it likely to be sheer volume slowing it?
The reason I want to use Remote App is that I thought it might give the option to display a list of movies via Apple TV that could be scrolled through or paged through or even searched because leafing through 800 Movie artworks one by one to select a movie to watch would take an age - I might as well walk into the study and put on the DVD!
Any help gratefully accepted.
Thanks

We might be having the same issue.  What I have noticed is that the Itunes App shows all of my content when I search directly on my Itunes library, on the PC.  But when I try to control my Itunes content through an Apple TV, all that I can see is the content that I purchased on the Apple store.  Do you see any pattern to the issue?
I submitted a complaint to Apple and someone was working on it, but now it seems she is no longer at Apple.

  • Apple Remote App not reflecting recently added genres

    During the initial round of cataloging movies, etc. and adding some custom genres, they were immediately reflected on the Apple Remote App.  However, subsequent additional genres are not showing up.  If I use the trackpad interface of the Ipad to navigate the Apple TV menus, the new genres are there...they just aren't on reflected on the remote app.
    Any ideas?

    You are not alone. I tried all the fixes, multiple times, but nothing worked.
    I think there's nothing to do but wait. The fact that many of us are experiencing the same problem with the iPad Remote app, and the fact that the iPhone Remote app still works fine, tells me it's a glitch in the software - maybe Apple TV 5.2, maybe iOS 6.1 (I updated to both yesterday).
    Meanwhile, since Apple does not read these forums, I suggest we all leave comments on their feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    That way they'll at least know a bunch of us are having this issue.
    Hopefully Apple will issue a fix soon.

  • Clients not picking up changed application files

    I created an application and deployed it to a collection containing 1 workstation.  I needed to make a change to one of the files in the application, so I made the change in the source for the application, redistributed the content to my distribution
    point and tried to run the updated application on the client.
    The workstation will not pick up the changed file.  I have run the Machine Policy check in, the User Policy check in, and the Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle multiple times to no avail.
    We are just beginning our implementation of SCCM (converting from Altiris) and this is really frustrating me to no end.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    There are multiple ways to check if the current version of the application is being installed. One of them is to check the AppEnforce client log file after triggering the installation.
    That should show a line like the following, which includes the revision of the installed application:
    <![LOG[+++ Starting Install enforcement for App DT "<DeploymentType>" ApplicationDeliveryType - ScopeId_A351EC12-B25C-4327-80EE-247F25E4CE55/DeploymentType_26778027-8288-4f4e-b588-f8259f85777d,

  • I am not able to download mp4 files (video and audio) to iTunes since I updated to iTunes 11.  Thanks for your help.

    I am not able to download mp4 files (video and audio) to iTunes since I updated to iTunes 11.  Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for clarifying. Your question is in your browser, not in iTunes. Each download link is different, and it has nothing to do with the File menu. You can save media files by secondary-clicking on the link to the media file and selecting Save File to "[your downloads folder".

  • Why does my remote app not find my iTunes Library?

    I am trying to use my Remote App on my iPhone 5 to connect to my Windows 7 laptop, the iTunes is upgraded to the latest (iTunes 11). My HomeSharing is on in both spot (iTunes and Remote App).

  • Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

    Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
    1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
    2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into"  my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad.  But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

    Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
    1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use  Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music? 
    2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

  • IPad remote app and apple tv (gen1)

    I have the remote app on my iPhone 4 and iPad. Everything is up to date. The iPhone works fine controlling the apple tv, but I cant get the iPad to connect.
    I start the remote app on the iPad get the 4 digit number. I enter it on the apple tv, but it won't let me select the done button.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The Album art is a known issue. Your other problem sounds like your network.
    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.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
    The reason it would work again for a while is that switching AirPlay off and on re-establishes a network connection. Whether that's what is happening isn't certain, but it could explain:
    ...... but that wouldn't explain why each time, it starts playing again correctly when I unclick and click the ATV in the Multiple mode dropdown.

  • TS1741 I have home sharing on both my computer and my iPad remote app. But the remote app no longer works.

    My remote app. Use to work perfect. It quit working and now I get a blue screen telling me o turn on home sharing. I've done that on both my mc and iPad with no luck getting the remote and iTunes to pair. Any suggestions?

    in remote app click on the
    lower left corner on the text
    top of the context menu click devices
    choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
    if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
    you should use airplay mirror not the remote app

  • HT1947 Apple remote app under ios7 won't rotate

    After the ios7 update my remote app doesn't work in landscape on my ipad 2. Anyone else experienced this?

    Same here, Remote is the only app not rotating. Have tried everything I could imagine might fix it to no avail. Considering that the app icon hasn't been "sevened" my guess is someone missed the briefing or Apple doesn't understand how important this app is to some of us. There are already a few other threads on this, haven't yet found a solution in them.

  • Remote app not connecting

    Since the last system (security?) update last night (10.10.2 (14C1514)) the remote app on both my iPad and iPhone no longer connects. Restarted al devices (Mac mini , apple TV, Airport, iPad, iPhone) logged out and in  for homesharing, but no result. To my confusion the airport apps on my mobile devices indicate there is no airport extreme anymore... (they are very well connected to the internet though...) but the principal airport app on my Mac mini indicates everything is fine. No updates or anything needed and a good connection.
    Still the remote app on iPhone and iPad cannot be used. Very annoying...
    Anyone ideas?

    Thanks. this might be right. The more because the Airplay option is gone too on iPad and iPhone.
    But can anyone explain how to solve this? I just use the default Apple settings and have recently nothing changed. Not on my Mac mini (firewall not activated) and not on my Airport extreme that functions as my router.

  • IPad remote app

    got new service. I pad app worked great! Then all of a sudden 1/2 the app quit working. It will change the channel if you put the numbers in but there is no guide. I need the guide as I don't know the channels yet. We deleted everything off the box and deleted the app and reinstalled everything. Still nothing! Any ideas??? This is a deal breaker for us. Fixing to nix this up and send it back!!! Hours of my time and 1 week and ATT tells me it's the app and they will check into it.

    There isn't an iPad version of the Remote app yet. The iPhone version works fine, but it's not much different than it is on the iPhone. Like most apps that are designed for the iPhone without iPad modifications, it doesn't look all that great when blown up, but it's functional. I hope they release an iPad version soon.

  • IPhone 4 Remote App Not working

    Hello,
    Sorry for posting another 'not working' thread, but having searched the forum I cannot find my answer.
    I am not very technical, but I have iTunes and an iPhone 4.
    I have the remote app and the app has worked perfectly up until recently.
    I have upgraded iTunes to 10 and also my antivirus.
    Now I know alot of these things could be caused by the firewall, but I have allowed iTunes to be let through the firewall and I have switched off the firewall in the past to ensure it was not this.
    When I switch on the computer and open iTunes then go to the remote app it works. It is when the iPhone 'sleeps' that the library wont re connect, OR if i have been using iTunes and then try and start the remote that it will not work.
    Any ideas at all as it is so frustrating. I am not technically minded, so switching router channels etc and proxy settings/DHCP etc dont really make sense to me.
    I have tried rebooting everything including the router, but believe it is something simple as it was working prior to iTunes 10.
    I am running a PC on Vista
    Thanks
    Steve
