No video through ipod touch remote app?
i've connected my ipod touch to my tv using apple-branded dock and tv cables. for media stored on the touch, i can listen to music and watch video on the tv. when i connect in using remote to my mac mini (i am able to negotiate the 4digit pin so it is connecting), i can listen to my mini's music. when i try to access video, i can hear the audio (i think) but cannot see the video. the problem seems to be isolated to the video playback. this same video plays back on the itunes on my mini so i know that the video is good. the mini is current with all patches via "software update".
any ideas? is it something simple i missed?
The video would be playing back on your Mac mini. Apple Remote is just a remote control, not a media streaming program.
(There are streamers available that specialize in iPhone/iPod touch though, such as DOT.TUNES for example).

IPod Touch / iPhone app "Remote"
Does anyone else attempt to use this to remote control your AppleTV ?
I was full of expectation when I went through the hassles of setting up an iTunes account on my junk email address (and without having to submit my credit card details - sorry, call me luddite, but I like to buy my music albums and movies and tv series on optical media, usually for less than iTunes is charging).
Then I find that the iPod Touch remote will only show iTunes purchased movies and tv shows, and not the "shared", personal movies / tv shows. Anyone with children of their own will understand, I have hundreds of home movie clips I want available.
I guess the "networking" between the iMovie and iDVD departments and the AppleTV department is broken, and has been since Take 2 was planned.This must be where I'm going wrong.
I have nothing synced - all turned off when I setup after the "update" to Take 2. I previously had all my TV shows (including all my home movies) sync'd but the wireless speed is so fast and reliable I've gone back to stream everything.
I have only the one library ("Mac Pro Library") connected at the Apple TV. To play anything not purchased from iTunes, I have to select "Shared Movies" (or Shared TV Shows, etc), the "My Movies" shows nothing, presumably because I don't sync anything.
Are you saying that I could change some setting to get the whole streamed library content through the "My Movies" (or My TV Shows, etc) menu, and therefore possibly through the iPod Touch "Remote" app ?
I'm also a little miffed that the "Shared Movies" are not sorted by the "Sort Name" in iTunes in Take 2 v2.1. Apple TV v1.0 didn't sort by sort name either, but v1.1 did.
I factory restored to v1.0. Do I miss Take 2 ? LOL. I might use it if there was one good thing about it. Or it offered me some flexible access to my own content. Is there anything WOW I'm missing ? -
IPod Touch Remote doesn't connect after 8.1 upgrade
After upgrade to iTunes 8.1 with iTunes DJ my ipod Touch Remote app wont work as before.
I get a connection that makes it possible for me to vote and wish songs in iTunes DJ, but I don't have the possibility to change volume, stop, play, skip as before.
It's like my iPod is only a guest and not trusted Remote.
I've tried re-installing. I've checked the "find remote" in preferences.
I get the 4 digit code on the iPod, but I don't see my iPod under devices to the left in iTunes! So I cant enter the code....
It's soooo frustrating!
I've checked the firewall settings and I'm certain both computer and iPod are on the same wifi.

Thanks Duddo.
Yeah, i found the file 'iPod touch app pack 4a93.ipa' in mobile application directory, which directory in Mac should i copy to? Is it \user\<name>\music\iTunes ?
Hi,
I think that is the old "January update", I'm not so sure it is necessary to transfer that one but it would go here -
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Look here for the latest 2.0 etc. updates -
C:\Documents and Settings\"name"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Even then I'm not sure even these are required but best back them up to be safe.
I'm not sure where the go in Mac OS X though.
I'm sure someone will let us know soon.

i cant get my videos on ipod touch that is direct hookup to my Kenwood Stereo DNX890HD to show the video. the audio plays but i cant see the video. Is there a way i can make the video show on my Kenwood DNX890HD player
Does your ipod touch have the lightning connector or the 30 pin connector.
Lightning connector does not transmit video because it is digital and the KW is analog.
You can buy a convoluted combination of splitters and converters to get around this but it will be expensive and a spaghetti of wiring. If you do have a 30 pin connector, then details for proper setup are on page 106 of your English Manual. -

- You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
- You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup. However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music. You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?
What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?
Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output. -
Can I pair ipod touch remote to wired apple tv?
I only seem to be able to pair my ipod touch remote to my apple tv if I unplug my Ethernet network from the apple tv and use it wirelessly. the wireless network connects to my wired router, so isn't the wired and wireless the same network? is there a way to pair the ipod touch to the apple tv if the latter is plugged into the ethernet?
Robert Lewis wrote:

Does the router provide wireless or is it a separate wireless device that connects to the wired router - it should theoretically work anyway but it's possible the two might need to be bridged if separate. -

When i try to download apps this message comes up. This app is incompatible with this Ipod Touch, this app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. can i up grade my ipod to OpenGL ES 2.0, or do i have to buy a new one?
Correct. That error indicates you have a 2G iPod. You say you have an 8 GB 3G iPod there is not such thing. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. You have a 2G iPod.

Video app crashing & Can't load videos to Ipod Touch 5.1.1
My video app on my IPod touch (4th Gen 64GB) with 5.1.1 keeps on crashing. I read that this is not an uncommon problem. I click on the video app and a white screen shows up for a second, then the app crashes and reverts back to the home screen. This is the only app that is not working.
I have tried the following so far:
Reboot by using the red slider button
Reboot by holding the home and off button for 10sec. Apple logo appears and it reboots
Shut down the video app after double clicking the home button and deleting the open apps
I even did a complete "Reset all Setting" and then used my ITunes back up to load all the data back on.
I tried to delete all movies on ITunes and load a new one. - won't show up when I search for the video on the IPod
I tired to down load a movie from ICloud - won't show up when I search for the video on the IPod after the download
In ITunes the videos that I try to load to the IPod show up on the right menu bar under movies, but they are grayed out.
The one thing I have not tried for obvious reason is the complete wipe and start from scratch by doing the reset from ITunes and loading all apps and setting to the IPod all over again. I was hoping to avoid that pain...
Now, I don't use the Video app much, and could potential wait for OS 6 that is supposed to come out in the fall. That might load a new video app. Unfortunately, I can't delete the video app as it is part of the original set up.
Any tips? What will I lose with a compete wipe and how long will that take?
Thanks for your helpI tried the restore from backup and it did not work. I think I'll just wait until iOS6 and watch movies on my IPad. Don't want to do the factory restore if possible.
Any other tips are welcome! -
Using iPod Touch remotely while playing back through home stereo.
Hey, I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm interested in knowing if there is a set of accessories I can buy that will allow me to do this:
I want to play music through my home stereo. I want to use the iPod Touch to select which music is played, and I don't want to have to have the Touch plugged into anything.
The music doesn't necessarily need to be played from the Touch, it can be played from my computer instead, the Touch would just need to be able to control and browse my iTunes in this case. Or alternatively the Touch could stream music to some sort of station connected to the stereo.
Is this possible right now or do I need to wait for a new product to allow me to do this.
Lets say price is no concern right now, is there anything out there that would allow me to do this?
Thanksthere is a web application currently that would allow the touch to remotly control ur itunes on ur computer i have not tried it....but it seems like it would be what u are interest in.....
