ITunes Remote app on Ad Hoc network (Windows 7)

Is it possible to use the iTunes Remote to control a computer that is using a wireless card to create an "Ad Hoc" network. I plan on building a computer for storing my Apple Lossless files on a Windows 7 machine and using it strictly for playback as a standalone device. I will be pairing it with a USB DAC & Headphone amp combination.
I either need to buy a monitor (not wanting to do this) or find a way to be able to navigate my iTunes library from this machine without a screen (prefered). I will NOT have an internet connection at work where I will be using this, however I could purchase a wireless card to install in this itx machine to create an ad hoc network provided I could then use the iTunes Remote app to control playback and view albumn art, etc.
Is this setup possible, or am I chasing a dream?

I have the same problem. How did you fix this?

The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ian

It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

ITunes Remote app on iPad: "Add to Up Next" as default?

Hi,
with iTunes 11 the iTunes DJ functionality has been removed from iTunes.
Some say that it has been further integrated as "Up Next" - which has been done so well, that you can't find it anymore.
If you now want to add a title to the playlist, you need to press a little arrow which opens a menu where you can select "Add to Up Next".
The problem is that this does not work properly on a party with unexperienced users.
They find a title, tap on it and then it directly starts playing and interrupts the current title.
Is there any way with a setting in iTunes or the iTunes Remote app to have the "Add to Up Next" functionality as default when you tap on a title?
Thanks

I too have this problem and made it worse. Under Mavericks and iOS7 everything set up very easily and worked beautifully like Apple stuff usually does. Then a couple of weeks ago I took the dive and updated to Yosemite, iTunes 12 and iOS8 and then I would occasionally lose connection with my iTunes library as described by the second poster. Very aggravating. So I made a bigger mistake and deleted the library from my iPad Remote app and whenever I started it up again it would say 'Add a device'. I clicked and a randomly generated 4 digit number appears with the exact instructions: 'To add an iTunes library, open iTunes on your computer and choose Remote from the tab bar'. I went to iTunes and searched EVERYWHERE for this Remote tab bar and could not find it. I then went to iTunes Preferences: Devices and clicked the button 'Forget All Remotes' thinking this may reset something in iTunes and make the Remote tab appear somehow to start from scratch. Wrong! Now there is absolutely no connection between the Remote app on my devices and iTunes on my computer.
Can anyone point me to this Remote tab in iTunes?? If I can find that then I think I should be able to fix this.
Geez, talk about effing up what should be (and was) a very simple app.

ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
Thanks!!

I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
They are completely different libraries.
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

ITunes remote app for mac

I use the remote app on my iPhone quite a bit and am looking for one something similar i can use on my mac.

the OP wants to control iTunes on a different computer.
hmm ...
in that case there might be something @ Doug's, such as:
[_*Dan's Remote Scripts*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=dansremotes]
These four scripts will assist you in controlling iTunes from a remote computer over a network: Toggle Pause/Play I, Toggle Pause/Play II, Remote Play Next, Remote Play Previous. Be sure to open these scripts in Script Editor and supply the IP addresses for the remote machine.
or
[_*iTunes 2 Remote*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=ittorem]
"This script allows you to remotely control iTunes—useful if like me you have a server attached to an amp and a powerbook with airport The script needs to be altered before it compiles - the hostname or ip address of the machine you want to control needs to replace the instances of myhost.domain.com."
not a very elegant solution but might be sufficient.

Remote app and an ethernet network

I'll try to keep this simple.
Everything was working fine with 10.5.8, no longer with Snow Leopard.
I have an ethernet network connected to DSL.
Apple TV is hooked up via ethernet.
MacPro is hooked up via ethernet.
Airport Express is hooked up to ethernet and has a wireless WEP network for airtunes, etc.
Before the Snow Leopard I could:
1. Connect to my AppleTV with the Remote App with my iphone when connected to the Airport.
2. Connect to the iTunes Library on my MacPro with my iphone with the Remote App.
Now, unless I unplug the ethernet cable on the AppleTV I cannot connect with the Remote App. Also, cannot connect to the iTunes Library at all (the MacPro doesn't have Airport, but it never had.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
Firstly, how to you reach the server from Internet, via host name, public IP address or VPN?
If you need to remote to the server via host name, can you nslookup the host name and get the correct public IP address of it?
Do you install the AD DS role on the server? Please let us know if you need the active directory environment.
Thanks.

Office 2013 windows 'pop-under' when run as remote apps on Server 2008R2 from Windows 7 clients

We have an environment with Windows 7 clients running Office 2013 via RDS on Windows Server 2008R2.
When users double click emails from Outlook, they 'pop-under', forcing the user to relocate the window which has fallen behind the application's primary window, leaving behind a slight redraw of what is supposed to be the pop-up window. Users also experience
difficulty opening application menu/help items and any other dialogue boxes in any/all of the other Office 2013 apps we've deployed via RDS.
This issue persists only on Win7 PCs (WinXP does not exhibit this behaviour). The RDP clients range from 6.2.92 to 6.1.7601

Hi,
Please give the new Remote Desktop Client 8.1 for Windows 7 a try when it is re-released (it was removed temporarily due to an issue with smart cards). It has fixes related to z-order issues, which
may correct the problem you are seeing.

IPod Touch will not update when using iTunes Remote App...

Hi all, hoping that someone can help here...
I am using a couple of iPod Touch's to control my iTunes and Airport via the Remote App. In the main the whole thing works really well with wireless music all over the house via Airport and Apple TV.
The main frustration is that the Touch's have stopped updating as the tracks change. This used to work but unfortunately didn't notice when it stopped.
If I play anything, iTunes DJ, playlist etc... it appears that the first track is the one that displays unless I close the app and re-open.
I can still play/pause/ffwd/rwd and it all works despite what is showing on the screens which is really confusing...
The the two iPhone 4's and the iPad 2 work perfectly so am at a loss as to figure out how/why etc.
I run iTunes on a WinXP machine, with iTunes 10.2.1.1 and the iPod Touch's are both running 4.2.1 (8C148). On is model MB533BT and one is MB528BT.
Any help/suggestions greatfully appreciated.
Thanks all

UPDATE:
Whilst I was typing this I noticed that whilst in the study both iPods updated with each track change for some considerable time. I do wonder whether there is something in this as the router was less than one metre away.
I also then noticed that the one that stopped updating was the 8Gb model MB528BT. The other unit, the 32Gb MB533BT has continued to work.
Completely flummoxed with this!

Why doesn't my iTunes Remote App point to my iCloud content? Why does it have to point to my iTunes content on my PC?

Hi,
I just set up a 3rd-gen Apple TV. W/ iTunes Match & Home Sharing, I'm able to play my songs or TV shows on my TV.
Then, I installed the Apple Remote app on my iPad. It points to my Apple TV but then can displays & plays only the songs, not the TV shows.
When I fire up iTunes on my PC, I can point the Remote app to my iTunes library on my PC, which includes both songs & TV shows. When I close or turn off the PC, then I lose the pointer.
Questions:
(1) Why can't I just point the Remote app to iCloud/iTunes Match - and access ALL my content (i.e., both songs & TV shows)? Why do I need to point to my local PC to access all content?
(2) Is it that iCloud/iTunes Match store only songs & not TV shows/other content? Is that why I need to point to a local machine to access TV shows?
Let me know -

iTunes match is for music and music video only.

To use remote App.config file fails in Windows 8

I want to read app.config from the remote server on my NET 3.5 application.
For example, I'm updating "APP_CONFIG_FILE" to set remote app config like the below code.
It works fine on Windows 7 or previous windows version.
But on windows 8, the program is being in no-response stage(like kind of deadlock) when calling ConfigurationManager.AppSettings. There is no error message here and I have to kill the process manually by using Task manager.
I'll appreciate for any suggestion or comment.
static class Program
[STAThread]
static void Main()
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", "http://xxxx/app.exe.config");
MessageBox.Show(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["HelpFile"]);

Remote Apps launch with a command window

All RemoteApps launch with the program and a black DOS window. How can I disable this DOS window from launching. I have searched and found no solution. Even using a VB script does not help.

HI
I strongly believe this could be an issues with some other software or any virus may be trying to execute when app is launched.
This is never a function of remote APP. You need to find out from where and how the command window is launched.
Login to server directly and try to launch the same application and find what is happening and form where it’s getting CMD.
Even you can use some register and application monitoring tools and find what functions are called, if you feel fixing the issues is only options rather than reinstalling the server.

Can my iTunes Remote app on the iPhone be set to Repeat All by default?

I love using the Remote App to control my iTunes library and stream to my AirPort Express Speakers.
However, I dislike how when it creates a playlist to stream that it's not automatically set for to Repeat All tracks. Is there a way to change this?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?

Itunes remote app for NAS based libaries

I'm using a iphone4 and wanting to have it connect to and control my itunes libary that is placed on a NAS running a itunes DLNA media server. My goal is to have it see the libary via wifi at home and then push the music to my airtunes unit to be played. That way I won't need an pc open to play.
Is there such an app out there?
The itunes remote I downloaded seem to want to only connect to libaries on powerup up laptops, but I don't want to have to power up my laptops everytime..
Is there an app out there for this? How are other people doing this?
thx all!

Have you looked at media:connect for DLNA and UPnP media streaming?
You actually need to spend $0.99 + $7.99 to get the whole ball-of-wax. But you could try the $0.99 version and see if it fits your needs.
