Iphone/Touch App that allows remote control of shared libraries

Hey all,
Curious if anyone has found this. I want to plug my macbook into my TV and play movies, music and tv shows on. All my content is stored on my imac in my other room. I can use front row to view the content on my macbook with the provided remote but I cannot use the Remote app for the touch to control my macbooks itunes shared libraries, only the itunes within the macbook.
Simply put, you know when you open up front row, you can access shared libraries on other mac itunes accounts? You cannot access the same libraries through the Remote app when controlling the itunes on the same computer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tim

  • I want to control a PowerPoint presentation on my iPad remotely from my iPhone. Is there an app that allows me to wirelessly control my iPad from my iPhone?

    I want to control a PowerPoint presentation on my iPad remotely from my iPhone. Is there an app that allows me to wirelessly control my iPad from my iPhone?

    Yes.
    The app is called Keynote Remote and is available for both iPhone and iPad from the App Store. This app can also run Keynote presentations from your Mac from either your iPad or iPhone.
    Both your iPad and iPhone need to be on the same WiFi Network. With your iPad Keynote file loaded, go to:
    iPad > Keynote > Tool Menu (wrench) > Advanced > Remote and turnon "Enable Remotes"
    on your iPhone set up the link:
    Keynote Remote > Settings > New Keynote Link and follow instructions - you will be given a set of numbers, enter those numbers on the iPad and you are all set.
    Good Luck

  • I would like to know if there is such an app that allows my iPhone to act as a remote for my iPad ie if I'm recording something on my iPad I can use my iPhone to press record/play/pause/forward or rewind my iPad via my iPhone

    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).

  • HT4325 Can anyone please tell me if there is an app that allows me to control multiple speakers on my iPad, iPhone or IPod?

    Can anyone please tell me if there is an app that allows me to control multiple speakers, via multiple airport express, on my iPad, iPhone or IPod? Thanks!

    You can use the camera connection kit to connect, but there's no protocol for any sort of data or file transfer beyond properly named photos and videos. You can plug them in but they won't do anything.
    The only printing the iPad  natively supports is air print to specific printers, or printing to wifi printers with third party apps. You cannot use flash drives for data transfer (beyond the mentioned photos and videos)

  • IPhone app that allows cable transfer of files and viewer feature

    Hi Guys,
    Now I'm really getting desperate...
    Does anyone know of an app that allows you to transfer files to your iPhone via the USB cable and has a partner iphone app that allows you to view the files.
    I'm looking specifically for PDF and Html viewer.
    I can't use the WiFi and can't download using 3G...too expensive.
    I've tried a few apps thus far but they allow you transfer files to locations that the iphone apps cannot access.
    Kind regards,
    Neelan

    There used to be an app that did this called "FileAid". The app was free, but to use it you need to purchase an app called "DiscAid" from the developer. It allowed for file transfers between iPhone and computer using a USB cable or wifi. Recently, the app was changed AT APPLE'S REQUEST to eliminate the USB functionality. Why? I have no clue, other than having this feature took away from Apple's MobileMe file transfer functionality. I did NOT accept the upgrade. Below is an email I received from the developer.
    What really irks me is that I paid for the DiscAid app. By removing this functionality, Apple has ripped me off. Fortunately, the developer has more integrity than Apple has.
    "As a DiskAid user, you might be using FileAid to view files on your device.
    If this is your case you are maybe aware already: we had to upgrade FileAid 1.4 to 1.5 and we changed the name to FileApp, incidentally.
    The USB connectivity within FileApp was removed and we did not want that: it was not our choice but the consequence of a decision taken by Apple, nor did we wanted to have to rush to release it.
    Besides, all iPhone Apps supporting the USB file transfer will be affected by that.
    We were very upset about Apple's decision not to let our users enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of USB file transfer, but we had no choice as you can imagine. We are very sorry about that.
    DiskAid (USB transfer tool) is still perfectly functional for file storing and iPhone/iPod Touch filesystem access but FileApp won't let you view your files on the device.
    It is probably pretty uncommon, but we would like you NOT to UPGRADE to FileApp in the App Store automatically, but to read the following carefully before:
    Why Should you Upgrade:
    If you have a jailbreak on your device
    If you are a FileAid user only using WiFi connection for transferring files - WiFi connectivity issue fixed
    Why You Should NOT Upgrade:
    If you are using FileAid on a device without jailbreak in conjunction with DiskAid - USB no longer supported
    If you have upgraded on your iPhone by mistake (or you missed the upgrade information notice prior upgrading on your iPhone) you have the ability to downgrade to FileAid if you haven't upgraded within iTunes on your desktop and you haven't performed a sync!
    To do so:
    1 - Check that you have FileAid in your iPhone apps within iTunes on your computer
    2 - Delete the FileApp app from your iPhone (or iPod Touch)
    3 - Select FileAid within the app tab in iTunes and press sync
    If a message appears warning that you have a more recent version of this app on the device, accept: it will install FileAid instead of FileApp
    If you have upgraded to FileApp directly in iTunes on your computer, delete it before sync (if applicable) and the FileAid app will be copied back onto iTunes at next sync.
    It is a real issue for us, as the ability to browse files transferred via USB within our iPhone app FileAid was a great feature within the DiskAid program we will sure suffer from that - but we won't let our loyal customers take the blame.
    We would naturally refund users that claim for, even beyond our refund policy (up to 60 days).
    Also if you had a good time while the trick lasted, or if you feel any sympathy for us and you think that your purchase could subsidize the development and maintenance of the free version of the FileAid/FileApp and you do not request a refund, we would thank you in advance for your support!"

  • Is there any app that allows me to control the cell phone from the computer with the mouse?

    Is there any app that allows me to control the cell phone from the computer with the mouse?

    No this is not possible.
    But you could use the iPhone Simulator of Xcode if you have access to an Mac. Like the name explains, it simulates an iPhone on an Mac, but you cannot use all standard apps

  • Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf files on your ipod touch?

    Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf file on your ipod touch (5G)?

    There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
    iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

  • Flash app that allows users to create mini animations

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to flash, and was wondering if the community could point me in the right direction for my current project.
    I am looking to build an app that allows end users to draw and save mini animations (simple predetermined shapes that move in 2D).  So far I have a written a app that allows the user to draw a single frame using simple shapes and lines, but I am having some small troubles at this stage, and have not attempted to allow the user to animate or save the drawing.
    If anyone knows of a tutorial or some other resource to put me on the right path I would be very grateful.  I can also share what I have if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers (I am going to assume that as a newbie, my code could use a lot of improvement).
    Regards,
    Robbie Vos

    Hi Andei1,
    Thanks for the input.  I figured that the save functionality would be a little difficult. 
    However, if I can get the basic app going (allowing users to create mini animations) I think I should be able to get save going with some (ok, alot) of effort.
    Regards,
    Robbie Vos

  • Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad

    I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
    iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
    On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.

    Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
    Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device.
