IPhone Remote

Remote application rocks...but one problem. Just after 2 days of using it, it no longer plays continuously, just single tracks.
Anybody know how to fix this...i have already tried removing the app and reinstalling!

Such a donut...all you gotta do is make sure all the music in your iTunes are checked (tick in the box next to it)!!

ITunes and iPhone 'Remote' app, only plays one song at a time

Using iPhone 'Remote' app to control iTunes on Mac. I click on Albums, select an album, select the first track, it plays and then stops and goes back to the albums list. I've tried every conceivable combination of the little icons for Shuffle and track repeat, nothing changes this, it always plays just the track and select and then it's done, it goes back to the tracks list. I've spent hours researching this and cannot get it to work. Thanks for any help.

Hi, although unchecking tracks is one way to manage what gets put on your device it has other side effects that make it less effective than the use of selected playlists. I generally use unchecking for marking tracks I'd usually want to ignore, such as bonus interview tracks on an album, or podcasts that aren't compatible with my device.
It is much easier to use playlists rather than check boxes to manage the content. There is no need to make a series of ad hoc playlists however. You'll need two, one of which you can throw away later. Create a new smart playlist with the rules *Playlist is Music* and the option *Match only checked items* ticked. Call it Checked. Now create regular playlist and call it, for example, Sync. Select all the tracks in Checked (cmd-A I think) and drag them into Sync.
Now you can go to your main music library and cmd-click on an empty checkbox to check all of your tracks so the unchecked behaviour no longer interferes with playback. Change your sync options so that the device syncs with your new playlist. In future you can manage the content by adding and removing things from this list instead of checking and unchecking them.

IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
"Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
Suggestions ?

Update:
Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.
Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSID's turned off, WMM is enabled.

IPhone Remote app hangs on Verifying Remote Password

When connecting to iTunes 7.7 Mac or PC from an iPhone 3G using the Remote app iTunes wont accept the passcode that the iPhone displays. It just hangs after entering the 4 digits, times out and request them again.
What I've found is that this seems to only happen if you access iTunes via an Apple Extreme - if I go via a non Apple WiFi access point it works fine every time. Web access etc from the iPhone via the Extreme seems fine. Both PC's are connected to the network via wired connections , one via the inbuilt (non GB) switch on the Extreme. . If I enable the inbuilt WiFi on the Mac it seems to work OK too via the adhoc. However switching back to wired it fails again , unless it's via the non Apple access point. I don't believe this is a firewall issue.

I too have spent a lot of time trying to get this working and so far I've had success. I'm running iTunes 8.0.2.22 on 64-bit Windows 7 Beta Build 7000. Some of what I did was taken from another reply to this thread and I'm not sure exactly what did it, but I had tried everything I could think of. Here are the steps I took:
* Reset router
* Ensuring media sharing was on in Control Panel/Network and Sharing Center
* Removing the remote app from the iphone and then reinstalling from the app store DIRECTLY on iPhone
* Added Inbound AND Outbound firewall rules (Windows Firewall\Advanced Settings) for TCP AND UDP ports 3689 and 5353
* Added Inbound AND Outbound firewall rules for Bonjour AND iTunes applications
* Reboot computer
* Launch remote app on iPhone and bring it to the 4 digit code screen
* Launch iTunes
So far so good. The configuration has been working since I completed all of those steps even once the iPhone has been powered off and back on. Some of those steps might not be needed but I was at a complete loss as to why iPhone Remote wouldn't work so I went overkill with the troubleshooting.

IPhone "Remote" App for Apple TV Has Become Sluggish, Slow to Respond

(Earlier today I posted this question on the "iPhone" section of this thread but perhaps it's more appropriate here.)
I've searched this and other forums and have yet to see the issue I'm having addressed. After successfully installing and using the iPhone "Remote" app to control my Apple TV, its performance has become erratic. While selecting and/or swiping actions were instantaneous, they're now delayed, sometimes by four or five seconds. My Apple IR remote still works perfectly. Also, the Remote app on my iPhone works fine on the TV set up in various Apple Stores I've visited. A clue that may be relevant is that my RF Dish receiver remote is a bit slow now, too, although not as bad as the WiFi-driven iPhone Remote app. It seems that something in the room is creating these problems (there are no fluorescent lights) and all worked fine months ago. Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

ok well it seems unlikely that your issue is with the appletv itself.
could well be wifi interference.
any cordless phones or cordless doorbells, or any new cars turned up close by with remote car alarms, or a new microwave (or old one starting to fail) ? all this sort of stuff can kill wifi.

Iphone Remote App with Linksys having problems

Okay I have a Linksys Wirless Router, my Laptop and iphone connect to the linksys via wireless using WPA, the wireless works great, I get my iphone hooked to the wireless network .. check stocks, weather, google around.. all that works !
I use my Remote App on my iphone and sweet that works too ... connects to my library shows my playlist on itunes .. I can play rewind, skip - everything works .. for about 3 - 4 minutes ...:( I play the songs i want click on skip a couple and boom, within 3-4 minutes my entire wireless network is down !
my linksys goes into a frenzy ... If i leave the remote app alone .. my linksys would run just fine forever ... 3 - 4 minutes into using my iphone remote app and my wireless networks toast ... anyone here having the same issue ?
I have a airport express that I plan to use as my default wireless router (replacing my linksys) to see if apples own wirless router has this problem as well ..
I sure hope not ... will keep posted .. but let me know if anyone is experiencing the same problem and if there is a fix ...

Hi,
Since I upgraded the Remote software to version 1.3.3 (4) it seems that when I'm browsing the music Library of my Apple TV, I can click on any artist and or album. So far so good, but after selecting, the tracktitle is shown on top of the screen, but the track is not loaded and cannot be played.
If I unplug my Apple TV then it works again, but after browsing and changing tracks 1 or 2 times, the bug occurs again.
Martijn I've read your the post and tried to delete the songs/artists that have the word 'Edit' in it, re-synchronized the apple TV with my iTunes Library, but no luck for me.

Iphone remote app and itunes

All seemed to be going well until - the updates.
Now my iphone will not recognize my itunes libraries. I deleted the library link from the iPhone remote app and even told itunes to forget all remotes. Back to my iphone to set up as a remote - again. The iphone generates the 4 digit code, itunes even recognizes the iphone, allows me to enter the code, and returns the screen that I can now start using the iphone as a remote. --- Back to the iphone - and the remote app can "find the library" - What gives? Help
<edited by host>

Revelation, do you mean complete restore of the iPhone and all contents thereof? Or the Mac?
I have deleted the application "Remote" from the iPhone, and I have re-installed it. Each time the application will work for a limited time, and then it loses the ability to locate the library.
I continue to suspect IP addresses as the source of the problem, and wonder if the addresses must be static on both devices in order for them to maintain a connection. However, I find it odd that iTunes can register the presence of the iPhone enough to list it in the "devices" pane (therefore, I assume that the two devices are communicating over my network) but then the iPhone fails to locate the iTunes library.
Other applications (Briefcase Lite, for example) seem to be able to conduct over-the-network business without difficulty.

Can't pair iPhone Remote App in 3.0

After updating to 3.0 I now can't pair my iPhone Remote App with my ATV. I had it paired at one point in the past. Since I've done a factory reset of the ATV and today upgraded to 3.0. The option to even add an iPhone in ATV is greyed out and the option to select ATV on the iPhone is also greyed out.

I am having the same problem in that the iphone does not even show up under the remote section on ATV. I have three ATV units and it does the same thing on all of them. They all were accessible using the remote app in the past. Had no issues previously with pairing the iphone as a remote. Updated remote application just the other day and it still is not working. Anybody have a fix. My network is fine we have tons of devices that use it daily. ATV's are connected through ethernet.

Iphone remote doesn't work with itunes anymore.

I've replaced my wireless router in the last week, but I think remote still worked after that. I don't know what is going on. Firewall is turned off, bonjour is running (I can see the homesharing from another computer) But iphone remote doesn't find the library.

In iTunes > Preferences > Devices - check what remotes are currently paired, then remove any and start the process from scratch. Also, check you are signed into iTunes with the same account on your phone and mac.

Is Keynote iPhone Remote disabled in the trial version?

After reading all of the info here on how to use the iPhone remote, I still can not connect. The checkbox in Keynote Preferences is greyed out. I have tried setting up a computer-to-computer network too and that still is greyed out.
One question on this computer-to-computer network, on the iPhone I select this network as my wifi network, it tells me I am connected but the display at the top of the phone shows 3G and the Keynote Remote app tells me I am not on a wifi network. What's up with that?
thanks,
Michael

After a little fooling around I was able to get it to work. Basically, I had not gone through the registration process when I started Keynote for the first time - I launched it by dragging a powerpoint file to its icon. All I did was shut down Keynote and launch it. This time I got the opening Trial dialog and registered my trial. Now the remote is active and I was able to pair my iPhone and control the presentation.
Also, my iMac is wired to my TimeCapsule (not on airport for performance reasons), Keynote Remote works fine in this configuration since my iPhone is on my local WIFI net hosted by the TimeCapsule.

Does the iPhone Remote control a Mac mini in the same way as ATV?

My ATV1 has packed in.
Rather than having my MBP switched on just to listen to music through a new ATV to my hifi I am thinking of using a Mac Mini in the same way as ATV1.
Does the iPhone Remote work with the Mini the same way as it does with the ATV or do you need to use a mouse and switch on the screen?

If intending to use the Mini s a home theater system,
you may want to consider getting Rowmote or Rowmote Pro
app for the iPhone and the companion app for the Mac.
Not only will you get Apple Remote functionality, but
you will also get trackpad and keyboard functionality
as well. This will make it even easier to navigate the
Mini on the TV.

Using iPhone Remote on Apple TV

i cannot use my Apple iPhone remote on Apple TV because my home sharing account is listed under a non iCloud account on my ATV and under my iCloud account on my iPhone.
I use my Apple ID non iCloud account for all my content purchases with the iTunes Store. However, my photos, iCloud storage and most other services are under my iCloud account. My iCloud login is what I list on both on iPhone and Apple TV, but the home sharing is linked to my Apple ID on my Apple TV and to my iCloud login on my iPhone. how do I set it up so that they are both listed as one without losing access to my iTunes content under my Apple ID or photos, storage and other non-purchased content under my iCloud login.

You don't need itunes open to play content from your tv using the remote app, however if your tv streams its content from itunes then you will need itunes open before your tv can play that content, this applies whether you use the included remote or the remote app.

New MacBook Pro not working with iPhone remote

Hi all,
I absolutely cannot get the iPhone remote app to work with itunes for whatever reason!
it's driving me crazy never had any issues on my old macbook, its defo on the same wifi, i can ping it etc, I'm faily handy with OSX and the like as i'm a software developer, so I know it's not a firewall issue and the phone is on wifi.
it just doesn't pop up to let me enter the code in iTunes under devices when I'm trying to register the Phone with the machine,
for the record the phone has been synced with the itunes library in question and I have clicked the forget all remotes button in iTunes prefs, and the 'look for iphone remotes' box is checked
so I've pretty much done everything bar uninstall itunes, is that really necessary? is it worth deleting the itunes prefs file??
Thanks for any advice,
Cheers,
John

Have you tried wiping the remote app from the iphone and starting over ?

Slideshow using IPhone Remote

It would be great if you could use your iPhone to control a slideshow similar to what you can now do with iTunes and the iPhone remote application. Hopefully, someone is looking into this.

Thank you,
I final noticed that you can toggle out of the swipe mode on the remote to a regular playlist, which is what I wanted.
AppleTV is working great for me as a whole house audio storage drive with the iphone as a walk around remote.
