Ipad as Universal Remote

Hi, I just bought a 32gb Ipad and intend to use it also as a Universal Remote for my home theatre. Does someone know or recommend any good and trustworthy app or accessories for this mean?
Thanks,
Gus

Bobby Universal works only with PC platforms and the IR device is connected (USB) to a computer, so you have to have the computer in the room.
I have tried a couple of the others that have an IR device that plugs into my iPad, but their data base is very limited so they only work as a very limited universal remote. They are not suitable to control your home theatre. They can be programed to turn my AV receiver on and off and control the volume. You cannot not program them for any activities beyond that.
For example, a typical activity would be to watch TV. That means I need to turn on the TV and my satellite DVR and set my AV receiver to TV. This is easy with stand alone universal remotes. I have not found anything that actually works.
Has anyone had any better luck?

IPad app AiO Remote

I scanned document with IPad app AiO Remote and HP printer.
App created .pdf file 306 Mb in documents folder on my iPad Air iOS 8
When I tried to open document in AiO Remote, I receive error:
Not enough memory to complete operation.
And then .pdf preview window showed error
The operation couldn't be completed.
NSURLERRORDOMAIN error -999
Is there any way to save my scanned .pdf document and what is this error means?
Is this some restriction about size of scanned document in AiO a Remote? Or just a bug?

Hello @Justromagod ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are getting error messages when trying to use the AIO remote app.
I would like to help.
I get the 'Not enough memory to complete operation' message tells me that you might be running out of room on the iPad.
Also, the -999 error usually means: another request is made before the previous request is completed.
You could uninstall, then reinstall the app.
There is a Cloud Services department that supports the App.
Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

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.

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
You need to have Home Sharing On.
Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

PS4's official universal remote is heading to Europe

The PS4 is getting its first official universal remote. As spotted on Amazon and GameStop, peripheral developer PDP's universal remote is the first of its kind officially licensed by Sony. Priced at $29.99, it's slated for an autumn release in North America. When asked about a European release, a representative from PDP told Eurpgamer, "Currently this product is for the N.American market only. We are in the process of getting this product made available for Europe. We hope to be able to for Q4 this year but [it's] still to be confirmed. " The universal remote will offer complete control over all of the PS4's media playback functions via Bluetooth and it will control up to four devices. It even has a PS4 Home button, should you wish to switch between apps without turning on your DualShock 4. It will however require two AAA batteries. Source:Eurogamer

Aw yiss!

I love my PS3 remote. It works really well for the PS3 we've got set up for Netflix and iPlayer and stuff.

Oh yeah!

I love it already!

I misplaced my ipad, so I remotely erased it. Then I found it, but now I cannot use all of the options in the settings. I have restored from backup, but it still is not letting me use all functionality. Help!

Would throwing it in Recovery mode and restoring as new clear it up?
(same for Ipad)
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone. To do this press and hold the power button till you see the “Slide to Power off” screen. Now slide the button to turn it off.
In case your iPhone is stuck in an infinite loop and the previous option is unavailable, press and hold the Power and Home button till the screen goes off. Remember to leave both the buttons as soon as the screen goes off and before the Apple logo appears again.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone’s USB cable to your computer but not to your iPhone yet.
Step 3: Now hold down the Home button and while you are holding it connect the USB cable. Keep holding the Home button till you see the Connect to iTunes screen on your iPhone(Screenshot shown below). iTunes will show an alert saying a device in recovery mode has been detected.
Here’s what your iPhone screen will look like once its in the iPhone Recovery Mode.

How can I display my ipad on a remote screen and charg it at the same time

I need to display my ipad on a remote screen for 10+ hours a day so I need to be able to charge it at the same time. Is this possible?

The best way to charge the iPad is with its included AC charger. If it is not doing something energy intensive, it can be charged and used at the same time and not deplete the battery, especially if services that are not being used are turned off.
Can you share more about the situation or environment in which you want to employ the iPad and which model you want to use? The new iPad consumes more energy and takes longer to charge the battery than the iPad 2.

Can appleTV be controlled with RF Universal Remote?

I know that universal remotes that use IR technology can be configured to work with appleTV. But does anyone know if it is possible to control appleTV with a universal remote that works via RF?

Actually...the reason I asked the original question is that I am moving my audio visual equipment into a closet off my living room. Because it will be behind a door, only universal remotes powered by RF will control the system. The only hitch is that the AppleTV seems to work only with IR remotes. If that is indeed the case, I thought I might simply replace the AppleTV with a MacMini that can be controlled through the closet door with wireless mouse/keyboard. Does anyone have any thoughts on that solution?

Pairing an ATV remote using a universal remote

I tried to ask this last week but maybe it was too confusing.
Can I pair an Apple TV remove using a universal remote. I've got two ATVs and would like to pair each remote then use a universal remote to control them individually.
Think it will work?
Thanks.

Hello - each Apple Remote issues unique commands by default. I won't go into the gory details, but if you looks at the Hex output of commands from two different remotes there are two digits that change as you issue the same command from different remotes.
By default the devices that use an Apple Remote accept codes from any remote (my guess is they ignore the unique hex codes). When you pair the remote you are telling the device to only listen to that specific remote by watching for the unique hex codes. Here is the thread from which I gleaned this info (I am not bright enough to figure this out on my own):
http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-prontong/thread.cgi?8154,1#1
I am researching using a Universal Remote, Inc. brand MX-900 remote to control my Apple TV. I can use the learned codes to control it no problem for the basic features. The only thing I can't get working is the "fast scroll" through the library lists - it must be the rate at which the Apple Remote issues repeat commands vs how quickly my remote does.
