ITunes 10.0.1 and Apple Remote 2.0

Hi guys,
After turning the firewall settings on in Sys prefs in Mac OS X 10.6.4 and allowing iTunes 10.0.1 incoming and outgoing connections within the advanced settings, the Apple remote app on my iPhone 4 stops connecting. Once the firewall is disabled its back to functioning.
Anyone has experienced the same malfunction?
Thanks

Same issue. Two remote airport expresses. iTunes 10.0.1 shows them in the list just fine but you can't select them - it just instantly returns to the computer speaker.
You can't pick them if you choose multiple either - the checkboxes won't stay checked.
Booted the other mac to test - (still on 10.0.0) - that connects fine.
Can't find anything in the logs in Console.app either.

         If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different.  In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients.  It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer.  I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
         I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
    The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
    First:
    ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
    (example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
    Second:
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
    After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator.

    To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
    These are the system requirements
    System Requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

  • How to stop itunes to react to the play key and apple remote?

    Hi,
    I guess this one is a popular one:
    How can I stop iTunes from starting anytime I hit the "Play" / F8 key? The same for the Apple remote.
    I don't want to use iTunes for music playback (It just can't handle my library and lacks tons of options like browse by date, etc.) other players have. I just need it to pump stuff into my iPod Touch (otherwise would have simply removed it from the system completely).
    I am using an iMac and Macbook Pro with OSx 10.6.4.
    Any working solutions appreciated; ideally an undocumented switch in the OS.
    @Apple: This is annoying. The system is all about ease of use and most of the time it works great. Running into an issue like this is simply negating the whole philosophy.
    Thanks and regs

    this takes a while but if you want to hear the end of your songs do this:
    1.right click on a song
    2.click on the options tab
    3.there is a space that reads: stop time. change that time to five seconds later and you will hear the end of the song
    hope this helps

  • How to use ATV2 with iTunes, DAC and Apple remote

    Hello,
    I play my iTunes library through a Wadia i170 dock connected to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic running through a Marantz AV preamp. I bought an ATV2 and I would like to control the music with an iPad using the Apple Remote app.  My ATV is connected to the Marantz via HDMI and i have another HDMI cable running to the TV. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks!

    If you enable Home Sharing in itunes, on iPad and AppleTV then Remote app will allow you to browse itunes content from the iTunes library and play it back on AppleTV using Airplay.  Alternatively the Remote app can control the AppleTV interface directly with iAppleTV requesting/pulling content from itunes as opposed to Airplay sending/pusihing content to AppleTV to play.
    Not sure where the Wadia dock comes into this.
    Do you dock the iPad with it?
    I'd have thought you'd be wanting to hook up the AppleTV optical out to the DacMagic if it supports Toslink or use HDMI or optical direct to the AV amp.
    Are you trying to run the system 'headless' with TV off when playing audio - if so, recent software has messed things up and not certain if fixed in that absence of an active HDMI connection can disable audio out over optical.

  • ITune-Airport Express and Apple remote

    My sound system (Quad) is hookup to my Airport Express. How can I set the apple remote to low or rise the sound from iTune, instead of using the mouse or the trackpad?
    Thanks

    CentFois, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The Apple Remote has absolutely no control over the AirPort Express (AX).
    If you are asking if the Apple Remote can control the volume in iTunes on your Mac, you should ask in the iTunes question.

  • IPod touch v4 and Apple remote - not all routers are compatible

    My iPod is working well with my old router at home
    I can connect Apple remote from my iPod to iTunes in my computer and use all the functions
    I recently bought a new router but I soon found out that the remote application is not working with it
    Similar problem at the office, I can still pair the remote with the software but the control won't be possible
    I suspected the router was the reason so I plugged back the old router at home then all came back normal
    Is there a way to know which "signal" and/or "port" is used by the remote application in the network system so I can enable it?

    I surely did read and try.
    I also saw another thread were another user said to enable DHCP and turn off Mac Adress filtering which I also did in the two routers that are not compatible.

  • Itunes 7.6.1 and Apple TV

    I'm having a problem with my MAC Itunes seeing Apple TV in the device list. Itunes under XP, Vista, and Win Server 2003 can see Itunes but my MAC can't. I've reinstalled Itunes, upgraded to 7.6.1, did a factory restore on my apple TV, opened up my Mac firewall all the way but no luck.
    The only strange thing I have found is that when I run permissions fix it shows ACL found but not expected under Itunes.app.
    Anyone having this issue?

    Having the exact same problem. Tried everything to get the AppleTV to show up in iTunes devices list. Factory restore and update again of the AppleTV, followed by fully reinstalling OS X on the desktop and upgrading iTunes, but still nothing.

  • 10.6.6 update and syncing issues in iTunes with iPhone 4 and Apple TV

    After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes 10.1.1 when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 (iOS v4.2.1) and my 1st generation Apple TV (OS v3.0.2):
    iPhone error message:
    "The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    Apple TV error message:
    "iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
    Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
    Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

    FYI: I received the following answer to this same question which I had posted in a different area of the forum and it solved my problem:
    +Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?+

  • Universal Dock and Apple Remote

    I have an iMac and iPod Video with a Universal Dock connected to the iMac. When I use my iMac apple remote it also fires up the iPod in the dock. I only want the iMac to respond to the remote. How do I turn off or un-pair the remote from the Universal Dock?

    I did, it did not solve the problem. The remote is paired to my iMac but it still activates my iPod (universal dock).

  • Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

    I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
    For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
    Any info appreciated.

    btabz,
    Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
    When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
    According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.

  • Problem with ipod dock and apple remote

    I have a problem with my apple remote and my 5th gen ipod on a dock. I set it up and plug it into a TV, yet when i get into a music video playlist- it will only play 4 songs (the same ones) and then go back to the song selection screen. The same thing happens in the movie "tab" as well.
    Any ideas?

  • Mac Mini and Apple Remote

    Hello,
    Is there anyway I can pair my Apple Remote to my Mac Mini as I use front row quite a lot and also have a Mac Book which means if they are both on the remote accesses both of them
    Any help would be really great

    yes- in system preferences, in security, under the "general" tab, there is the option to pair a remote to your mac.

  • Mac Mini used as Apple TV (airplay and apple remote on iphone/ipod)

    Yesterday Apple announced the new Apple TV as an iOS device. It can be controlled using the apple remote app on an iphone or ipod touch. I am using a Mac Mini using Air Mouse to control the Mini which is hooked up to my TV. Would it be possible to use the Apple Remote app for this?

    Hi Bart,
    you could use the itunes remote app to control your itunes music / videos from an iphone/ipod touch/ipad.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/
    Keep in mind the itunes currently uses the remote app in a different manor to the apple tv. I don't think you could use the itunes remote app to for instance rent movies. But ones you had the movie rented you could use the remote app to trigger playing /pausing the movie. But there are some advantages, like you can get a list of videos on the computer on the iOS device.

  • ITunes for Windows, QuickTime, and Apple Application Support

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information.

    *The relationship between iTunes for Windows and QuickTime for Windows*
    Conceptually, you don't go too far wrong thinking of iTunes for Windows as a gigantic QuickTime for Windows plug-in. QuickTime for Windows provides the audio and video playback capabilities for iTunes for Windows, the codecs iTunes for Windows uses for importing and burning CDs, and so forth.
    So, under normal circumstances, if you uninstall your QuickTime for Windows your iTunes for Windows will no longer launch. The exception is if you install a different application such as QuickTime Alternaltive, which also provides QuickTime playback capabilities. However, most such applications (QuickTime Alternative being a good example) are themselves built from actual QuickTime program files. So there's really no getting away from the requirement to have QuickTime for Windows componentry installed on your computer in order to get your iTunes for Windows to launch and run.
    In addition to needing some QuickTime for Windows installed on the computer for iTunes for Windows, a given iTunes for Windows version will require *at mininum a particular version* of QuickTime for Windows to be installed on the computer in order for that iTunes for Windows version to run. For example, iTunes for Windows 5.0.0.35 requires at least a release version of QuickTime for Windows 7.0.2 to run correctly, iTunes for Windows 6.0.0.18 requires at least a QuickTime for Windows 7.0.3, and so on. The same applies for solutions involving other programs like QuickTime Alternative. An iTunes for Windows 6.0.0.18 would require an installed version of QuickTime Alternative to made from (at least) QuickTime for Windows 7.0.3 componentry in order for iTunes to run.
    The most straightforward way to go about getting your iTunes for Windows launching again after you've uninstalled your QuickTime for Windows is simply to reinstall QuickTime for Windows. You can get the latest version of QuickTime for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 from the following download page at the Apple website. (Use the download link that doesn't mention iTunes.)
    [Latest QuickTime for Windows version|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download>
    *The relationship between iTunes and Apple Application Support*
    iTunes for Windows uses a number of the same program files as other Apple software for Windows (most notably, QuickTime for Windows and Safari for Windows). Starting with iTunes for Windows version 9.0.0, QuickTime for Windows version 7.6.4, and Safari for Windows 4.0.4, program files common to more than one of the programs have been stored in a single location: "Apple Application Support".
    So, if you uninstall your Apple Application Support (using the Add or Remove programs control panel in Windows XP, or using Programs and Features in Windows Vista or Windows 7), your iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) will no longer launch ... because several essential program files for iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) will have been uninstalled.
    At the time of writing this user tip, Apple Application Support is not available as a "standalone" download from Apple. It is only available as part of the installer bundles for the most recent versions of iTunes for Windows, Safari for Windows and QuickTime for Windows. So if you have uninstalled your Apple Application Support and your iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) is no longer launching, the most straightforward way of getting your iTunes for Windows launching again is to uninstall your existing version of iTunes for Windows and reinstall the latest version of iTunes for Windows. (The iTunes reinstall should also reinstall your Apple Application Support.)
    [Latest iTunes for Windows version|http://www.apple.com/itunes/download>
    If, however, you've uninstalled both your Apple Application Support and your QuickTime for Windows, the most straightforward way of getting them both reinstalled is to download the latest QuickTime for Windows installer from the Apple website. (Use the download link that doesn't mention iTunes.)

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
