Ipod remote app and apple tv sync vs. stream problem

Have been using ATV 1st gen streaming from a shared itunes library for some time.
Now I want to use the ipod remote app and can make it work only if I sync content to the ATV. If I stream content to the ATV, the remote app says there is no content.
However, I can see (on my tv) and play the sync'd content using the white plastic remote.
*Does this mean the remote app works only with synced (not streamed) content on ATV 1st gen?*
(all itunes and ATV software is the latest)
Thank you.

Connect your Remote App to your PC/Mac
Select Song
Select Play
Tap Full Screen icon(Album ARtwork)
Select "AirPlay" button
Selcect your ATV as the only Speaker
This way you can stream content to your ATV
This works with ATV II Aswell
I have both and could not stream FROM ATVII to my MAC/ATV I
But using MAC/PC as source and ATV as speaker makes it work fine with unsynced content

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple TV products and not with my Netflix app-the Home TV icon only shows with Apple products.
I had hoped that I could use my Laptop Pro for unrelated tasks while I watch a movie-I have chosen TV only on the drop down. I dont seem to be able to seperate the two

The movies do not download onto apple TV it shows them as purchased and you need to stream them down. If you want to show your purchased music on Apple TV you need to sign up for iTunes Match.
There seem to be a few glitches with iTunes Match so i just use the computer icon to listen to music on my computer through Apple TV. If you have your Movies and TV shows on your computer this is where you will find them.
The Movies and TV Shows buttons on the main page of Apple TV show you films and tv shows you have purcahsed or cen rent or purchase.
You can also sync your Photos over as well. Method is slightly different in that in iTunes on the computer
File > HomeSharing > Choose photos to share with Apple TV

Remote App and iTunes not syncing

I'm trying to get the Remote.app and the iTunes DJ to sync so that I can control my computer library from iPod Touch. However, the icon for remote does not appear in the iTunes tray under my iPod in "Devices." How can I fix this?
For starters it is a 2.2 version iPod (volume rocker version) and I have the 3.0 firmware on it. My iTunes is the current 8.2 version. I also already have "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" checked in my preferences in iTunes. I do have a wireless connection and both my laptop and iPod are connected to it properly. My iPod was connected before, but accidentally. I removed another computer from the library list and now it won't connect.

Have had the exact same problem since the last iTunes update came through. remote worked just fine before that.

Remote App and Apple TV Won't Wake iTunes

I absolutely love the Remote app for the iPhone. I use it quite a bit to stream music to my home stereo. I am having difficulty with the "wake on network access" function, however.
Everything works like a charm when my MacBook Pro is awake. The Apple TV (2nd gen) and my iPhone (3GS) connect to the library without any trouble. The feature I was really excited about, however, was the wake on network access option. As I understand it, this feature would enable my iPhone or Apple TV to wake up my sleeping laptop so that I won't have to walk downstairs and make sure my laptop is awake before trying to access the library.
I just can't get this to work. I have the wake for network access option selected in the Network settings. I have verified that my Mac supports wireless wake for network access. I have Home Share turned on for the iTunes account and have signed the Apple TV and iPhone into the account. Despite this, neither the Apple TV, nor the iPhone Remote will wake the laptop. The iTunes Library shows up as an option on the iPhone, but just keeps "connecting" when you select it. The Apple TV won't even list the library under "Computers" unless the laptop is awake.
Has anyone else been having this issue? Any ideas on things to try to get it to work?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, just wanted to check to eliminate the most obvious possibility.
Sorry, no other ideas at this time. Perhaps someone else here will have a suggestion, though this not being an iTunes issue, per se, you might have more luck in the Apple TV, Time Capsule or MBP forums.
Regards.

IPad remote app and apple tv (gen1)

I have the remote app on my iPhone 4 and iPad. Everything is up to date. The iPhone works fine controlling the apple tv, but I cant get the iPad to connect.
I start the remote app on the iPad get the 4 digit number. I enter it on the apple tv, but it won't let me select the done button.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The Album art is a known issue. Your other problem sounds like your network.
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.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
The reason it would work again for a while is that switching AirPlay off and on re-establishes a network connection. Whether that's what is happening isn't certain, but it could explain:
...... but that wouldn't explain why each time, it starts playing again correctly when I unclick and click the ATV in the Multiple mode dropdown.

Remote app and apple tv

Is it possible to put the apple tv to sleep with the remote app? With the small apple remote
you press and hold the play/pause button. But I can't seem to find out if remote app will do it.
And also, how do you get to the main menu in apple tv with the remote app. Like youtube, etc.

It seems you have the option to connect the way Scott H described (ie accessing your media library in iTunes) -OR- you can have the iPhone directly access the AppleTV's library. I've done it both ways on mine. The first way means you're streaming wirelessly from your computer, while the second means you're pulling things directly off the AppleTV's hard drive. You can switch back and forth between these methods by going into the Remote program's settings into the "Choose a Library section..." as long as you've set up both your computer and ATV to see the Remote.
Regardless, neither of these methods will accomplish what you want. You can play movies and podcasts on your ATV with the remote, but you can't rent movies, go to YouTube, etc. Hopefully v1.1 will add these things.

HT1947 remote app and Apple TV?

The itunes account n my iPhone and computer are different, can I still use the remote app on my phone for my Apple TV?

I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

2ng gen ipod touch, Apps NEVER work after sync, please help a noob

2ng gen ipod touch, Apps NEVER work after sync.
am i missing something? i basically have to lose all my apps in order to add tunes.
its doing my head in, Help pweeeessee..

Hi
Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 provides more general troubleshooting tips for applications purchased from the App store.

Remote app and home sharing

remote app & home sharing worked on my new iPad (3rd gen) but did not work on my iPhone 4. this went on for a week or so but now both of them (remote app and home sharing) work on my iPhone but stopped working on iPad. I tried re installing itunes to 10.6.1.7 (latest version) with no luck. please help because i prefer using my ipad to control my pc

Be sure that all devices are on the same network.
If apple tv and remote are on same homeshare you should be able to select and control the apple tv from with in the remote app.
If apple tv and the itunes are on the same homeshare the apple tv will see the itunes library (and shared photos) in the computer section.
Additionally if these are all on the same homeshare you should see both the apple tv and the itunes library in the remote app.
hope that helps.

Using the Remote App and playing iTunes from a shared Library

I have a playlist set up in my main iTunes library on my iMac. This is a shared library on my local network at home. I can access and play the library remotely from my MacBook. I want to move my MacBook outside with external speakers for a party. I want to be able to access the shared library from the iMac inside the house from my MacBook and be able to control it with the Remote App.
My problem is that when I use Remote and the MacBook outside (I've set up the iTunes passcode with that computer and my iPod) it will only recognize the library on that computer, even if I am logged in to the shared library and it is visible in the MacBook. So basically, remote is doing what it is suppose to do in a normal situation, but I need it to recognize and play from the shared library.
When I turn on home sharing on the iPod I can access all the libraries on the various macs in our house, but the music will only play out of that particular machines speakers.
I don't have wireless speakers, so I can't think of another way to do this. Is there?
Thanks, Sandy

Well, I've got it to work although not ideal.
1. On my main computer (iMac) I created the playlist that I want available to control at a party.
2. I went to iTunes settings/Sharing and selected "Share selected playlists" and checked the playlist I made for a party.
3. I Linked my iPod to MacBook (which is outside with external speakers) using the 4 digit code
4. iPod, Home Sharing Off
5. Select the Library on iPod
6. Select "More" (bottom right of iPod)
7. Select "Shared" from the list that appears
8. Select the computer that has the shared library
9. Select the playlist (or lists if you created others)
This setting is allowing me to use my iPod "Remote App" to play an iTunes playlist (or the entire catalogue) from a shared library on my MacBook WITH the sound coming from my MacBook and NOT from my iMac where the original iTunes catalogue is located.
Not sure if this is the easiest way, but it's working.

IOS Remote App and ATV2

I cannot get the iOS remote app to connect to my Apple TV2. It connects just fine to the iTunes libraries on my network, but from three different iOS devices I get the same error. The app sees the ATV2 and tries to connect, but fails. The odd thing is, it used to work flawlessly. I hadn't used the app for a month or so and now its not working. I've tried resetting the apple TV (both power cycle and full settings reset) as well as rebooting the router and the iOS devices. I reinstalled the remote app as well. The weird thing is, I can airplay mirror to the ATV2 fine, just the remote app fails. The error message I receive after sitting at the "Connecting to Apple TV" screen is as follows:
"Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again.
I have no idea what changed in my set up, perhaps a software upgrade screwed something up but I'm at a loss I've tried everything. The ATV2 is running 4.4.4, the iOS devices are all up to date running latest remote app.
I Apple TV can access my iTunes libraries fine as well.

Mar 30, 2013 11:31 AM Recently purchased new AirPort Extreme. The wifi network works fine and all is well. The issue is I can not connect my Remote app with iTunes or my Apple TV. - I have rebooted my AP Extreme as well as my AP TV and my PC. - I have logged out of Home Sharing and logged back in. - On my iPad or iPhone I add Library and receive a Passcode, I enter in the PC into iTunes and I receive an error message "The passcode you entered was incorrect. Please try again" I receive this error when entering all my idivices. - I have deleted the Remote App and reinstalled it, but continue to receive the same error message. - All soft ware on all divices are current. - I have diabled my firewall. Who has any ideas? Thanks MacBook Air, iOS 5.1.1

TS1741 I cannot get the remote app for Apple tv work on either my iPad or iPhone. Home sharing is "on". Any ideas?

Why won' remote app for Apple tv work on my iPad or iPhone? Home sharing is turned on.

A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port
Type
Protocol
Used By
80
TCP
HTTP
AirPlay
443
TCP
HTTPS
AirPlay
554

Bonjour/AirPlay
Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them

HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

Just purchased I-Pad 2 but wont sync my I-tunes library. All opsystems up to date. Reset I-pad but no success. Apps and fotos do sync. Music sync is activated. Any suggestions? Thanks

If you tell iTunes to sync them (there are separate tabs) then iTunes will sync them.
