IPhone/ATV learning commands on remote

ATV recognizes the up, down, left and right learning commands but gives the "No Signal Received" error message on the ENTER command.
Have updated all software. I have removed and re-downloaded the remote app. Have reset both ATV and iPhone. Have unpaired.
I have been passed around Apple tech support all morning, no one has any answers. Just got email asking to let them know if I solve the problem.

i'm having a hard time understanding your post because i think you (like myself at 1st and many others) are a little confused about how the remote app works..
the remote app does not work like a logitech remote or a learning remote... in that it doesn't let you navigate around the appleTV graphical user interface (GUI) on screen. it by passes the the appleTV GUI completely. what it does, is let you see what's available to play on the appleTV (synced and streamed stuff) throught the remote app GUI. when you select the item on the iPhone, appleTV instantly plays it.. you don't go through the appleTV GUI at all. while the item is playing you can do ffwd, rwd, pause, next chapter etc.
1st, need to make sure that the iPhone and appleTV on the same network (your WiFi network).. you go on the iPhone, start the remote app, choose add a library, choose the appleTV, enter codes... then you see the appleTV's library (everything that's available through sync or stream).. find something.. click on it and it will play.

IPhone won't communicate via Remote, Snatch, Things and so on

I have a very odd problem that I'm desperate to get to the bottom of.
I have an iPhone (2.1), a WiFi network, a MacBook Air (MBA) and a Mac Pro (MP).
I have recently installed several programs that open a channnel of communication between the iPhone and other computers on the wireless network. For example: Apple Remote ([http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote>), Snatch ([http://hoofien.com/Home.html]) and Things ([http://www.culturedcode.com/things>).
In all these applications, I can get the iPhone to communicate with the MBA without any problems. The iPhone appears as a remote in iTunes on the MBA as you'd expect, and controls iTunes correctly. Snatch on the iPhone detects the MBA and allows me to control the cursor. Things on the MBA finds the iPhone immediately, and synchronises tasks fine.
However, on the MP, I have no success at all. The iPhone does appear as a remote in iTunes, but won't find the library ([http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7988177]). The MP doesn't appear as a server when I open Snatch on the iPhone. Things on the MP can't find the iPhone at all.
There's clearly something going wrong on the MP that's preventing a certain kind of connection, but what might it be? Do these programs run over Bounjour, or another protocol? What can I check?
Just to confirm, both machines are running Leopard, and both are connected to the same wireless network via the same router. The MP has an Ethernet connection and the MBA uses WiFi, but even if I connect the MBA via Ethernet I have exactly the same problem (ie, the MBA works, the MP doesn't). Both machines are configured in a very similar way and there's nothing "obvious" that I can think of that would be preventing connections; there's no firewall running or anything like that.
Short of a complete re-install of the OS, which I'd rather not have to do, is there anything I can try that might fix this?!
UPDATE: I have now got Things to work, it seems that this was an unrelated issue. However, the problem remains with both Apple Remote and Snatch. Any ideas?

Just a quick follow up to this, in case anyone is having the same problem and stumbles across this post.
I recently purchased a Mac Mini to act as a media server. I connected the Mini to my wireless network, started iTunes, and then launched Remote on my iPhone. I was then able to control iTunes without any problems.
However. I found the wireless connection a bit slow, especially when streaming HD video from my Mac Pro. So, I bought a couple of ZyXel Powerline plugs -- these broadcast your Ethernet connection over the mains ring at about 200mbps. When I disabled the Mini's wireless connection and plugged it into the Powerline Ethernet port, everything worked really well and video streaming no longer skipped... but guess what? Remote on my iPhone no longer worked.
When I renabled the wireless connection on the Mini, Remote worked as expected. So, in conclusion, Remote only works when my target machine is connected to my network wirelessly.
It's the same network, running over the same ADSL wireless router, so I have no idea why this would be the case.
Is my router knackered? Everything else seems to work well over the wired connection, I can still share drives and so on. Are some ports closed on the wired network but not the wireless one? I certainly haven't deliberately configured anything this way, and I'm not sure it's even possible.
Very odd indeed. Still, I hope that this information is of some use to anyone else who is having similar problems.

As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

IPhone 4 could not capture remote Wi-Fi but can capture the network from close range to Ataatjos meter

I tried the process and was happy to note that there was some process that I managed to start because the process did start ...
However to my disappointment, landed back at the same status which says
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care
I was using a GEVEY sim unlock with iOS 4.1 since (almost) last 2 yrs now in India on Vodafone. But as Apple designed it, there were several apps including Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail and LinkedIn that stopped functioning due to the iOS updates and the subsequent (I guess 'mandatory' App updates). Finally yesterday I thought of updating to the iOS 6. As soon as I did that, I have been left with no choice but to see the above message.
The process by jhidrowoh starts corectly but iTunes doesnt give you the option of restore only ... it is forcefully clubbed with update and the button that is displayed in the dialog box that appears on pressing 'Restore' in teh recovery mode, shows 'Restore and Update' and as soon as the iPhone is restored, it automatically updates the iOS as well to iOS 6 and hence leaves you hanging in the stale situation.

HT4352 Can I use my iPhone as an Apple TV remote? How?

Can I use my iPhone as an Apple TV remote? How?

Download Apple's free Remote app from the iOS App Store. Make sure your AppleTV and iPhone are the same network, launch Remote app on iPhone, go into settings on your appleTV and select general > remotes and follow the instructions. You can also use this app to control iTunes on your computer... Enjoy!

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV. You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable. After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.

Command Center Remote Server

Evening All,
(My first post.. hoping to hand around as its my first MSI board too!)
Just a quickie, i've download the app store "Command Center" and also the desktop version however i am unable to locate the "Command Center Remote Server" tray icon on my PC? So i am unable to obtain the port in use and the security key :( Just wondering if anyone was able to help me?
INFO:
MSI Z87-G43

Anything i've forgot let me know!
Thanks guys!

I will take a look at it and post back. I tried it once and got it to work. i think the key shows in the app, you just need it and the IP that is needed.
Edit:
Okay, open control center, click on the mobile control tab. Turn on the app on you phone, hit the settings button to see the ip and key. It brings up the wrong ip the first time (did for me) enter you computers ip with :81 at the end (that's the port). If you don't know your ip go to command prompt and enter ipconfig /all then look at the IPv4 address.

ATV having difficulty receiving commands from remote

My AppleTV is hooked up by HDMI to a Samsung HDTV (model code LNT2653HX/XAA). I've been having a lot of difficulty using the Apple remote with my ATV. Because the unit is in close proximity to my MacBook and Universal iPod Dock (meaning I have 3 Apple remotes lying around), I had to pair each remote to each device so there would be no interference. This did not help my issue, and even after tried unpairing the remote or changing which remote worked with which device, the problem persisted. When I press a button on the remote, the ATV rarely responds (i.e. responds to 1/20 clicks), and there has appeared no rhyme or reason to when it does or does not work.
I have noticed, however, that clicking the Apple remote will occasionally cause a light on the TV to blink as if it were receiving a command. Interestingly, when the TV is turned OFF, the AppleTV has no difficulty receiving commands (as evidenced by the white light blinking each time a command is received).
Now this may very well be an issue that can only be solved by dealing with the TV itself, but is there any recourse available otherwise?

Hi.. I'm having the same problems described, with my Apple TV and using the remote. I have the G1 model of the Apple TV, and have been using it without issue for a couple of years. Just bought a new Samsung LCD TV Series 8, 40" and soon after I attached the Apple TV I started to have issues. Now the Apple remote almost never responds. I have paired it, repaired it until I'm sick. I did a factory reset on the Apple TV.. and the remote worked just fine, until I upgraded the software on the Apple TV to get back all the functionality (iTunes Store, using my iPod-remote, etc.). The problem is the remote seems to work for a second.. then stops-freezes. I suspect it has something to do with both the TV and the software upgrade. Is it possible that the Samsung TV is sending out IR signals that swamp the room? Or that when I hit the Apple Remote, the TV replies.. and confuses the Apple TV? I moved the Apple TV as far away from the Samsung as I could.. but nothing helps. Very frustrating!!! Any ideas? Oh by the way.. I also can't get the Apple TV to pair with another remote. It stalls each time about 20% of the way.. never moving forward. The lack of a remote.. makes the Apple TV a paperweight.. sad.. because before it was one of my favorite Apple products. HELP!

User-friendly way to issue chown commands on remote servers

I'd like my technically unversed users to have, on demand, the benefit of chown commands giving them ownership of certain files being executed on remote servers. I'd like this to be doable without administrators' involvement and with no physical access to the servers by any of the users being entailed.
By "benefit of chown commands" I mean the results a competent user would get entering the command if he or she were actually doing so. By "technically unversed" I mean specifically that said users aren't and won't ever be trained to ssh into subject servers and issue chown commands themselves directly.
I should mention that the "Get Info" interface does not in this case avail users of a way to take ownership of particular files because ACEs apply to the files in question. That ACEs apply changes what is presented: instead of any editable fields under Ownership and Permissions, all users see in the "Get Info" interface is a list of whatever ACEs apply.
Please note that users do, by virtue of ACEs, have "change ownership" permissions for the files in question. Also, authentication to the servers in question under subject users' own logins is possible as necessary.
What I'd like to start with is getting some idea how complicated this could be for me to do myself as a beginning AppleScripter. I'll describe what I guess would be involved and hope for someone to shed light.
I'm guessing that something the user at his or her own machine does involving a file he or she has selected would constitute an Apple Event which a process on the client would send to a process on the server. Then I expect the server process would issue the chown command locally respectively of
1) which file was selected when the Apple Event took place, and
2) subject user's identity.
Finally, I expect some feedback might contingently be sent to client process incidentally to need to give user feedback.
Is this a fair sketch of how this should work? What is a beginner with limited time likely to accomplish attempting this?
(Find context for this posting here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=831517&tstart=0)
PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

First, if I understand you correctly, I'd be using
Curl and, say, Perl rather than Applescript to get
this done. In other words, what you wrote in
Applescript is about all I'd need in that
language--yes?
That's correct, give or take any errors in the script. (For obvious reasons I didn't test it.)
Then, please note that I want to chown, not chmod. Is
this an issue?
Nope. (Beyond what you pointed out below.)
I am looking at Perl documentation and read that "on
most systems, you are not allowed to change the
ownership of the file unless you're the superuser..."
(http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/chown.html).
However, isn't apache running as root?
I never thought about that. Wow, this is complicated! Are you really sure you can't make do with chmod instead?
Anyway, the answer is yes and no. The main Apache process usually runs as root, but executes CGI scripts (and other requests) as another user to avoid inherent insecurity. So unless you do something terribly, terribly insecure, you will not be able to chown from Perl. (And, although I am often lax about security, enabling root access for CGIs strikes even me as dangerous, which means it's a very bad idea.)
Really what you want is for the CGI, which does not run as root, to hand off to another process which does. I'm not a Unix guru, and would never claim to be, but I think the two following methods might work:
1. Set up a cron job running as root which looks in a directory once every minute/hour/whatever. The file name should be the user to change the owner to, and it should contain a delimited (in some form; return is possibly safe) list of files. Have the cron job walk through the list of files and use chown, then clobber the contents of the file. (Note that a CGI can use "chmod", which can make sure that the files it creates in the directory are readable by the cron job.) (Also note that you'll want to use flock to avoid race conditions between the cron job and the CGI!) This method would not be instantaneous, since the cron job only runs periodically.
2. Set up a script which runs as root which takes a line of text in the format:
user:path/to/file
and executes chown using that information. Make this process run at startup as root. Have it open a named pipe, with permissions such that CGI script can write to it, and watch for input from that pipe.
Some general notes:
A. Whatever you do, make sure that the binary/script/whatever running as root can't be written to by anyone who doesn't have root permissions.
B. Make sure to check that the user and file actually exist before doing anything with them. (And make sure to do it in the root process, since you have no guarantee that someone won't figure out what's going on and come up with some clever injection scheme to make your root process break security.) (And don't do it by passing a command to the shell; use Perl's chown or some equivalent, so that you'll be somewhat less vulnerable.)
C. For that matter, don't forget to check and make sure that the path you're about to chown is within the share point, and that the user you're going to chown to makes sense in context, so that nobody can (for example) take over someone else's user directory, or get write permission to /sbin, or something evil like that. (In fact, it might be for the best if you limited the chown operations to files only, just to be sure.)
Also, I get the part about how a constraint involving
"do shell script" method argues against using pure
Applescript in this case. But just for my information
is Applescript otherwise sufficiently capable?
If it weren't such matter of getting everything on
one line, could Applescript send commands between
hosts, convert local paths to paths on servers, issue
change ownership commands, and handle authentication?
Do methods adequate to those purposes exist in
Applescript?
Or would using multiple scripting languages be
entailed anyway? I'm guessing the latter.
Yes and no. Helpful answer, right?
First and foremost: AppleScript was originally created as a language to control programs, which would have an extensible grammar through the installation of files called "Scripting Additions". It has since been puffed up via AppleScript Studio to an application-building language in its own right, but the language itself does not have support for a lot of things which, nevertheless, the language can do by controlling another program or by extension.
AppleScript can send messages between hosts. If the remote host is a Mac, and has "Remote Apple Events" turned on in the "Sharing" control panel, then you can send commands to programs on the remote machine almost exactly as though they were local. (The only differences are in how you specify the application and how you let AppleScript know what the remote application "understands".) This support is built into the language.
If the remote host is not a Mac, you must control a program which can "translate". When it comes to terminal programs, for security reasons Apple did not include any interactive systems which could be controlled. (Although they did include "expect", I see, which would theoretically allow you to work around this...)
Since converting a path is really just text processing, yes, AppleScript can do that. I didn't try to build that in because I am under the impression that you know some other language/shell scripting tool better than AppleScript, so it makes better sense for you to put as much of the work into the parts you know, in order to make debugging easier. One method of doing it in AppleScript:
set x to [a POSIX path found somehow for a file on a connected server]
if (the offset of "/Volumes/" in x) is 1 then
-- "the offset of" uses 1-based offsets, not 0 as in most languages
set x to text 10 through -1 of x
-- This removes "/Volumes/" from the beginning of x
set x to text ((the offset of "/" in x) + 1) through -1 of x
-- That removes up through the next slash, which is the volume name
set x to "/Path/To/The/Share/Point/On/The/Server/" & x
else
error "The path isn't in /Volumes/, so either the server is mounted in a nonstandard way or the path isn't on a remote host at all." number 9000
end if
(The other method of which I am aware is to change AppleScript's text item delimiter to "/", convert the path to a list, test whether the first item is "Volumes", then put together items 3 and up into a string again. I have always had a semi-irrational prejudice against using this method because Apple's documentation circa about 1996, from which I learned AppleScript, made it sound like this might be dangerous, but it works.)
The Finder (which can be scripted) can apparently change ownership and permissions -- a fact which I did not know until just now; I must have missed it last time I looked for it -- and of course "do shell script" can be used to call "chmod" and "chown". The problem with both of these methods, vis-a-vis your particular difficulty, is that your files are not local. You could turn on Remote Apple Events and have the Finder do it, but that's really a security hole. And a potentially maddening one to figure out if anyone starts exploiting it.
I'd stick with a CGI and the cron/named pipe scheme. No matter what you do you're going to have a little extra security risk, just because chown requires root permissions, but minimizing that risk is probably a good thing.

Learning a standard remote?

The included Apple TV remote is not the best for me. I have an old remote for a discarded device so I tried to set it up with the ATV. Went thru the "learn remote" process for the basic keys and ATV2 said it recognized all the keys. (Too bad it won't recognize them all when in normal operation, so this is useless to me right now.)
There is an additional screen for the more useful playback features like fast forward, backward, beginning, end, and others. You can program the ATV to respond to a full set of playback manipulation functions. Check it out if you haven't see it. Could be a good thing.
But for this to be useful you have to know what the keys on the learned remote will do. Most remotes have a label or icon representing their purpose, and this second learning setup screen has a row of icons for the various functions. I am looking for a remote that has keys marked in a way that correspond to these advance playback functions. That would make it really easier to use a remote to control the ATV.
Anyone have a suggestion on what third party remote might line up with the Apple TV's playback control options?
