ITunes interferes the use of MCE Remote

Hi There,
I am using a computer as a Windows Mediacenter. (Windows 7)
Everytime, iTunes is open, i cannot use the STOP, FORWARD or BACK buttons on my MCE Remote.Eventhough MCE is on top of all other windows, i can tel iTunes is open because these buttons no longer work.
What can this be?
(this is anoying because of my other problem: iTunes keeps opening itsself)
Thankyou!

Same problem with MCE remote... I have a Windows 7 x64 based computer setup soley for the purpose of media consumption. I use Windows Media Center for HDTV over Digital Cable (via Ceton InfiniTV with a CableCard) and iTunes for music on the PC itself as well as via two AirPort Express devices for whole house music. Every version of iTunes before 10.5 worked great. For reference, I leave iTunes running 24/7 to enable the ability to use the Remote app on my iPhone, this way I can play music from my phone whenever I like and there's no need to go to the media PC to open iTunes first. In any case, as soon as I upgraded to version 10.5 I too had the remote control issue within Media Center and the navigation controls on the remote control ceased to function. I had to close iTunes in order to use the remote control again, which of course defeats the purpose of using it with the Remote app on the iPhone. Thankfully, I was able to locate iTunes version 10.3.1 online for Windows 7 64-bit and after reverting, everything works perfectly again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does iTunes 10.5.1 resolve this issue??

It would be great to be able to see itunes for the appletv via iphone remot

I use a projector -- it would be great to be able to see the itunes from the iphone remote - that way I could rent movies, download podcasts, buy & listen to music without having to turn on the projector!

It's one of those little annoyances you find in AV setups all the time, not just with AppleTV.
I assume you're connected via HDMI. Does the remote still work if connected via component? Would let you play (fine for music) but not browse or purchase.
Send an enhancement request to:

There needs to be some kind of 'allow iPhone/iPod Touch remote control when display turned off (HDMI)', and an enhancement to the rmote app itself.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

You should be able to set up numerous IMAP accounts on your iPhone with no problems.
IMAP will not sync contacts and calendars in your local copy of Outlook.

HT204492 My Apple TV remote turns on my itunes whenever I use it for the TV. So the TV comes on as does the music on my computer.

My Apple TV remote operates the TV and turns on my itunes at the same time. How do I disconnect the remote from ITUNES?

Go into system preferences - security - advanced - disable remote control infrared receiver

ITunes windows short cuts outside of application? / MCE remote?

I've always wanted to know if there was a way to get shortcuts for iTunes from anywhere on windows provided that itunes is running? This is possible on a Mac and when using windows media player / media centre & a media centre remote?
Currently, my Media centre remote works with iTunes, but only when it is the active application (as is the case with shortcuts).
What would be ideal is if i could use my Media centre remote to control iTunes from any application.
Using Win 7 & iTunes 10.5
Thanks in advance.

Can my Windows MCE Remote control iTunes?

I have an iPhone so I want to use iTunes as much as possible to make myself as familar witht he program that I can.
I would really love if my Windows MCE Remote can control it.
I used the up and down arrows and it seemed to scroll through the song list, but I couldnt pause the song from the remote.
So can I get it to fully work with iTunes?
Can I even use the MCE on the desktop like a mouse?

No idea, since I don't have Windows MCE Remote. Have you tried over in their forums?

TS1741 I am having difficulty connecting my Remote App on iPad to iTunes. It used to work fine, but with latest iTunes and latest Remote, I can't get it to work. iTunes should open a 'pop up' window to add 4 digit code, but nothing happens. Any clues plea

Would appreciate in connecting Remote App on iPad to iTunes. It used to work find, before iTunes 11.0 - but now pop up window to input 4 digit code does not appear. Any ideas how to prompt window to open on iMac? Remote App works OK, but says that Home Sharing is not Turned On, although it is. Both devices are logged into my profile account.

You no longer need the 4 digit code in iTunes 11.
iTunes (10.0.1 or later)
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
iTunes 11 or newer: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to File > Home Sharing> Turn on Home Sharing.
iTunes 10.7 or older: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.
Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Mac or PC is also connected to.
Open the Remote app (software version 2.0 or later) on your mobile device.
Turn on Home Sharing in the Remote Settings screen. Make sure to sign into the same Home Sharing account you used to sign in to from iTunes on your computer.
Once Home sharing is enabled for both your computer and your mobile device, Remote app will be be able to view and control audio and video playback in your iTunes library.

HT1947 Remote App and the use of the local speakers

I use the Remote app from my iPad to connect to my iMac's iTunes library. I then have the option to broadcast that music to 1) an Apple Air Port in my basement, 2) an AppleTV in my living room, and/or 3) the iMac computer speakers (or connected audio devices). There are many occasions where I would also like to broadcast the same audio from my iPad itself. Why aren't the iPad speakers available as an option? Can this be added in a future update of the app?
Thx, Joel

How to use the *new* "per-user remote control"?

Per the ARD discription page at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-remote-desktop/id409907375?mt=12
It says under "Whats New in 3.5.1":
"Per-user remote control
You can remotely log in to a Mac with any user account on that computer and control it, without interrupting someone else who might be using the computer under a different login.
How can I do this? I can't seem to find the ability. If I use ARD in it's "normal" mode, I am on the user's console at the same time they are.... I want to be "underneath" the console without affecting them.

That capability is only available if your client systems are running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. See:

Using mac and pc to send itunes to the same airport Express?

ok heres the deal i have a airport extreme base station and a airport express i am using a g4 power book and a dell p.c.. i have connected to the base a ethernet hub in the the (LAN) slot which has a printer and p.c. hooked up to it and in the (WAN) slot there is a cable modem. My mac an p.c. both connect to internet flawlessly and now i added a airport express to the network and my itunes on the mac finds it no prob. and plays great but the p.c. never gives me the option on the bottom to play AX in the den like the mac i am not trying or looking to play them at the same time but the mac and p.c. contain compleatly differnt music i would like to play at differnt times what am i doing wrong?
Power Book Mac OS X (10.3.9)

It should work. Just to make sure, did you check the option to look for remote speaker in the iTunes preference of you PC? I guess it should not be as easy as this, but we never know. Beside, Could you have a firewall running on your PC?

Accessing iTunes connected speakers using Remote on iPhone

Can anyone help me with this? When I first installed the Remote app on my iPhone I was able to connect to iTunes select the music and then select the speakers I wanted it to be played through (using speakers connected to airport express'). Since I've upgraded to iTunes 8 and Remote 1.2 I can't see the speakers within the Remote app although it connects to iTunes fine and I can start and stop music etc and from the computer I can select the speakers fine through the iTunes interface. Seems to be Remote can't now select speakers, can anyone help? Am I being a complete muppet in some way?
TIA

It's moved. It's no longer in the Settings section of Remote. When you are viewing the Now Playing tap the screen which shows you where you are in the song. Down the bottom it says Speakers. Tap that. You will get your speakers listed.

Use e71 to remote control itunes

Hi,
I have a mac mini (snow leopard) with itunes. I would like to remote control the itunes running on my mac mini using my e71, like the iRemote for the iphone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Lars Vonk

I have used Salling Clicker for years (on PC first and now on MAC), primarily to rate songs remotely from the phone and secondarily to add songs to playlists. It does much more and works both over Bluetooth and WIFI and is ideal to discretely and efficiently DJ your event.
Symbian version is well integrated (you have cover art and also can use the phones' volume keys to increase/decrease your computer's volume) and I highly recommend it (my first pay application... although the free version might be enough for some people).

HT1947 iTunes keeps on saying I'm entering the wrong passcode for Remote, which I'm certain I'm not

iTunes keeps on saying I'm entering the wrong passcode for Remote, which I'm certain I'm not. What can I do?

Enter the correct passcode.
If running a current version of iTunes and using the same Apple ID on the remote app and in iTunes, there is no need or prompt for a passcode.
