IPod Remote Issue

Does anyone else who has a iPod remote have to press the menu on the ipod button 2 times if wanting to goto another playlist or another iPod function??

Hmmm, good question. Its at home right now and I'm at work... I want to say that it is a flat receiver. I bought it with the iPod Touch, it came with about 8 different plastic pieces to fit a few different iPods, and it doesn't have the S-video connector in the back... just an audio out, and the same dock connector slot in the back which is hooked up to my component cable. It works with both my iPod Touch and iPhone 3G, it displays tv shows and movies perfectly on my tv, but it won't jump back and forth in my play list. I think I've got 3 or 4 different remotes lying around; I assumed that they were all the same, but is it possible that the remote that came with the dock is different than the remotes that came with the Mac Mini, MacBook, and MacBook Pro?

  • 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

  • ITunes 10.1 Upgrade on Windows 7, iPod Service issue

    I am upgrading from iTunes 10.0.0.68 (64 bit version) to iTunes 10.1 (64 bit version) on my Windows 7. After some time the popup error message reads,
    Service 'iPod Service' (Pod Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services
    I aborted the installation. Roll back action took place and I am continuing with iTunes
    Now when I run iTunes, the message says,
    The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
    I clicked on Yes. Then iTunes application opened with the message "Could not delete service" (the title of the window is 'iPod Service')
    How do I fix this problem? I want to upgrade to iTunes 10.1 as I want to upgrade my iPad to iOS 4.2

    Now, based on your latest response I did the right-click, install as Administrator. The result unfortunately is the same.
    Okay ... let's try a modified version of the instructions from the following document. (The modification is because they aren't precisely accurate for 64-bit systems ... the program files that could potentially be left on your system by the unmodified instructions wouldn't normally be relevant to an iPod Service issue, but you're getting a relatively rare variation on iPod Service trouble. So, just in case ...)
    If you get any error messages during any of the uninstalls, deletions or reinstalls, note down what they say and post back with the precise text, please.
    Here's the document:
    [Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
    ... here's the modification:
    When you get to *step 9* of the *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled* section, proceed instead with the following instructions:
    (9) Right-click the Apple folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    Note: If you have a 64-bit version of the Windows OS, continue with step #10. Otherwise, skip to step #17.
    (10) Open the Program Files (x86) folder.
    (11) Right-click the iTunes folder (if it still exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (12) Right-click the iPod folder, choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (13) Right-click the QuickTime folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.

    (16) Right-click the Apple folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (17) Open Local Disk (C:) located in Computer or whichever hard disk your operating system is installed on.
    (18) Open the Windows folder.
    (19) For 32-bit versions of Windows: Open the System32 folder.
    For 64-bit versions of Windows: Open the Syswow64 folder.
    (20) Right-click the QuickTime file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (21) Right-click the QuickTimeVR file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (22) Right-click the Recycle Bin and choose Empty Recycle Bin.
    Now restart the PC and try another iTunes reinstall.
    Any better luck with that attempt?

  • Can I use my iPod remote with my iHome?

    I just bought an iPod remote, and I was assuming I'd be able to use it with my iHome. Is that true, or did I just waste $20?

    The iPod remote is meant for the universal iPod dock, not the iHome.
    There may be a way to get it to work, but, uh, I would have to say it might void the warranty on the iHome (if there is one).

  • Anyone heard of a Nike + iPod Remote?

    I've just read the manual to the Nike + iPod kit, and i'm a little confused by this:
    Using a Nike + iPod Remote
    You can use a Nike+ compatible remote (sold separately) to control Nike + iPod
    wirelessly while you work out. Before using a remote, you have to link the receiver to it.
    To link to a remote:
    1 Connect the receiver to an iPod.
    2 Choose Nike+iPod > Settings > Remote > Link and follow the onscreen instructions.
    To turn remote functionality on or off:
    Choose Nike+iPod > Settings > Remote and set Remote Commands to On or Off.
    To unlink a remote:
    Choose Nike+iPod > Settings > Remote > Unlink and follow the onscreen instructions.
    I can't find any remote, that is working with the Nike + iPod kit, can You?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.0 Ghz, 100GB, 2GB ram

    Perhaps the Nike+ manual is referring to this.

  • 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

  • Old Ipod remote compatible with 5G ipod?

    I received a Navipod remote originally released with the 3G Ipod with dock connector, is it still compatible with the 5G video ipod?
    Thanks!

    No, it won't work with the new iPod because it plugs into the audio port as well as the iPod remote port on top, next to the earphone jack.
    but it was just built for those with the dock connector which the 5G has
    This was simply used to identify an iPod from the earlier iPods without the dock connector, before the Nano and 4G came out.

  • Current ipod remote - works with 1G Ipod?

    I have a 1G Ipod 5GB with broken scroll wheel and menu button and I left it with volume set to like 90%.
    I just want to lower the volume so that I can use it in my car stereo.
    does anyone know/can confirm whether the current Ipod remote (for 5G, nano) works on the 1G?
    home built   Windows XP Pro   im here for my ipods

    I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
    - Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
    - PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
    What works well?
    - All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
    - iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
    - iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
    What doesn't works?
    My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
    - Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
    - iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
    - iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
    I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.
    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Would the 2generation ipod remote work

    does anyone think that the second generation ipod remote will work with the new ipod. (The old remote used to plug right into the head phone jack)

    This is from memory and I could very well be wrong but if memory serves me.... the old 2nd generation remote add another outer conducter to the plug (around the outside)... the 2nd gen iPod had the corresponding jack to match. A standard 1/8" headphone jack went into the center without using the outer conducter.
    Don't believe you'd have any luck.

  • Need an iPod remote...but it doesn't exist?

    I have a 60GB iPod Photo (when it was called an iPod Photo). My wife has a 4GB iPod nano (in green). We both listen to our iPods in our car where I have installed an iPod dock connector that both powers the iPod and provides the audio feed to the car stereo.
    The only problem is tuning the iPod while on the road. It's dangerous, like using a cell phone or eating while driving, and we'd rather not do that. So I'm looking for an iPod remote control that meets three criteria:
    1. Works with all dock connector-equipped iPods (i.e., both my iPod Photo and my wife's nano). This knocks out the remotes that interface through the iPod's 'headphone' port so I'm looking for one that uses the dock connector.
    2. Has a remote control that can be easily attached to the steering wheel. The Griffin AirClick has this, but it's missing...
    3. The receiver (the part that attaches to the iPod dock connector) must have a pass-through so that I can connect my car stereo's power/signal cable as well as the receiver.
    Does ANYONE make a remote that does all this?

    I do not think there is just a product yet to cover all your requirement, but have a read of this for your reference and they are for older iPod models

  • TV@nywhere Plus remote issue resolved!!!

    I have been searching and reading many posts to fix my remote issue / not working problem. I have had a MSI TV@nywhere Plus TV tuner for like a year and the remote never worked. I don't know the exact model number of the tuner card. I know my driver for the TVR is 2.0.2.2. I have the software that has the PVR Plus. I had seen several posts that link the issue to running the Initervideo Cinema Manager which I ran and I still did have any luck. So I uninstalled Intervideo WinDVD (which I did and this did not resolve the issue either) I left this program uninstalled an I searched the CD for some info.
    The CD I have has a version number on the bottom around the hole MSI_7131_V1.1.
    I found a program called P3XRCtl.exe that has a icon of a remote in the path E:\PCI\TVUtility (this is on the CD). I copied this program to my desktop and then clicked on the icon. Guess what, it worked!!! All of the functions on the remote work. It seems as if when I installed the software that this remote software/utility did not get installed and does not run when the TVR program starts. So I then created a folder in my program files to place this exe file. The path I placed it is C:\Program Files\MSI\TV@Anywhere Utilities (I created the TV@Anywhere Utilities folder) The MSI folder now has 2 folders called TV@Anywhere Plus & TV@Anywhere Utilities. I still had a problem of the program not starting when I start the TVR program so I added the exe file to the Startup folder. To do this create a shortcut to the exe file and place this new shortcut in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    This program will now start everytime the computer starts and the remote should work when the TVR program is started. I am running Win XP Pro...

    This is wonderful I just solve my problem with the Remote Control, I Follow the suggestions from this people and my problem is fixed... now I can use it. Thank You very much

  • Ipod mini with Bose Sounddock/remote issues

    Just purchased mini & sounddock, but for remote to work, software version must be 2.2 or later; my mini will only update to 1.4.1. Can this be remedied, or do I kiss the remote feature goodbye?

    The latest version of iPod mini is 1.4.1, (2.2 - is related to iPod dock connector i.e. iPod 3Generation).
    Please have a read the following
