IPhone as a remote for iPad

I would like to hook up my iPad to a TV to play movies, and have my iPhone as a remote control (ie. play, stop, pause, volume ...). I understand both devices are bluetooth capable, and should be able to talk to each other directly.
Would this be possible? Any app?
Thanks!

To do what the OP asked, you'd need to run the app playing the movie, the app running the remote and bluetooth.
Bluetooth is OK, but not the two apps running until multitasking comes along.
Not necessarily because the app playing the movie could be designed to also respond remotely via Bluetooth to the app on the iPhone. That's what Scrabble does. There are two apps running, but not on the same platform so it's not multitasking.

IPhone remote for iPad

Hi there
Does anyone know if it's possible to set up the iPhone as a remote for the iPad? I have my music collection on my iPad which is plugged into my home hifi and would like to be able to make music selections on the iPad using the iPhone as a remote. Any steer in the right direction appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
Yes.
I use Tango to control my iTunes library from my iPhone.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tango-remote-control-music/id345279970?mt=8
Make sure and install the Tango app on both devices.
Launch the app on your iPhone and follow the instructions. Very easy to use.
After the app discovers your music library, tap "More" at the bottom of the app window then tap Settings. You can enable the iPhone so you just "shake" it to play the next song.

HT1947 Remote for ipad landscape orientation not working in ios 7

Remote for ipad landscape orientation not working in ios 7

See this thread: remote app rotation locked in portrait orientation after iOS 7 upgrade
It is a discussion only - no helpful hints. Appears to be a bug for sure.

Is it possible to use an iPhone as a controller for iPad (for games).

Is it possible to use an iPhone as a controller for iPad?
And if so what apps are supported.
And will gta 3, vice city, San Andreas and dead trigger 2 work with it.

The only game I know of that does this is "The Incident" - it's not a built-in iOS feature. The developers of that game specifically have allowed it.

Hi, i want to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes i have downloaded the app, turned on home shareing on my laptop and they dont seem to be talking.

hi,
i have dowloaded the app "remote" to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes library, i have turned on home shareing on my laptop. they dont seem to be talking to each other. i have also tried the other way of adding a library on my iphone, but my laptop wont show my phone on the devices list.
anyhelp would be apreciated

Turn off home sharing, you don't need that. Open Itunes Preferences from the computer. Go to the devices section. At the bottom you will see the option to add a remote access that and follow the steps.

Remote for ipad, cant find songs, but my iphone can, on the same network

hi all
have a very odd problem, and apple cant seem to help me, i´m using the app called remote, to control my itunes music, from both my iphones, ipod touch and the ipad, they all connect to the same itunes music library and i can control them just fine, and choose the music and which airplay unit i want to listen to.
so far so good
but on the ipad, if i do a search for BEE GEES, it shows the artist name BEE GEES, but when i press the artist name, to view the songs, it says no songs, and that i should buy some from itunes.
but when i do the exact same search from either the iphones or the ipod touch, the search then again shows BEE GEES and when i press the artist, it shows the songs that i have with that artist.
the strange thing is that if i search for a song name on the ipad, like NIGHT FEVER it see´s the artist as BEE GEES and i can play it, i just cant seem to do a search by ARTIST, then it returns with no songs????
i have made a small video of this, that you can see here, to further explain the issue
http://gallery.me.com/blackbox100/100023/Remote%20problem%20iPad
i have talked to apple numerous times, but they cant offer me any explanation
i have tried to delete the app on the ipad, and reinstall it, but that didnt help, i have tried to hook up to another itunes directory, and that didnt help either?
any help would be appreciated

I have exactly the same problem.
I made some short "tests" and it seems that if the "Album" field on the info of a song (ID3 tag) is empty, it doesn't appear on the search result of an artist (only on iPad's remote app).
So, if you fill the "album" field of a song (on the "get info" option) then it will be displayed on the list of songs of the particular artist that you have searched for, on the "remote app" on the iPad.
As a fast solution (mostly a stopgap) I would recommend that you will open iTunes on your computer and highlight all the songs that have empty the "album" field on the "get info" window (ID3 tag). Then right click and choose "get info". In the "Album" field, type a space or let's say the word "unknown" and click ok. Of course if you know the real name of the Album, you will fill that field with the right information.
After that, all the tracks should be displayed under every artist in the iPad's Remote app.
Apple should give a solution on that bug. It is strange that there is no such problem on iPhone's Remote application, but only on iPad's.

Iphone as remote for ipad?

we download movies onto our ipad and then connect it to the TV so all can watch. Is there an app that i could use to control the ipad from my iphone (like a remote)? (really so I can be lazy and not get out of my seat).

I dont know any specific ones off the top of my head but you can certainly search the App Store for third party apps that could possibly do that.

Keynote Remote for iPad

I'm not looking to control Keynote on the iPad, but rather use my iPad as a Keynote Remote for my MacPro running Keynote for Mac. I have it on the iPhone, but running Keynote for Mac 'remotely' from my iPad would be better for me. I run photography workshops and courses and in my studio my MacPro is connected to a 42" display that I run a Keynote presentation on. I've been controlling it with Keynote Remote on my iPhone, but would rather use my iPad as the remote.

Although I have it on my iPhone, I couldn't find how to install it on my iPad. Thought it wasn't compatible. Found it through my "Purchased Apps" on the iPad (App Store) and hit install. Thanks for verifing that it was compatible and I just had to dig a little deeper.
Wish they'd come out with a dedicated iPad version with a few more features rather than just a 2X view of the iPhone app.

ITunes remote for iPad? Cropping the info bar request...

Sorry about the double idea here but remote for the iPad would be nice like as is on iPhone and also the ability to crop a screenshot without 3rd party apps would be nice too.

No point telling us - we are all just users like you.

How do I use my iPhone as a remote for my apple tv

I am trying to use my iPhone or iPad as a remote for my Apple TV, but on my TV screen the "add remote" option is grey and cannot be selected. Any suggestions? Thanks, Cliff

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you have already turned on home sharing on the Apple TV, then the Apple TV should simply show up in the remote app without you having to do anything else.
Unfortunately, if you haven't yet enabled home sharing, you can only do so with the original remote and you'll need to purchase a replacement from the Apple Store.

I'm looking for a bluetooth remote for iPad's iBooks app

I'm looking for a bluetooth remote that will allow me to flip the pages of a book in the iBooks app.
Does anybody know of such a thing? I have found remotes for the iPad, but they seem obscure as to what it can accomplish. I need something more than something that plays iTunes remotely. I have a specific need.
Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Yubz Magnum really has great sound. They come in four colors too.
