Remote app and Ipad with Apple TV

I use the Remote app with both an iPad and iPhone to control my first gen Apple TV. This works fine except for one thing. When I select "Apple TV" as the library, using an iPhone I have access to all my library including Podcasts. When I run the same app on my Ipad, still selecting "Apple TV" as the library, no Podcasts come up on the iPad to select - the category is completely missing.
Has anyone else seen this issue ? Are they still there but hidden somewhere else ? Bear in mind I keep no content on the Apple TV - it is effectively just acting as a wireless device to get the signal to my TV.

Hi,
still selecting "Apple TV" as the library, no Podcasts come up on the iPad to select - the category is completely missing.
Tap Settings on the iPad then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings then restart your iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
See if you can access podcasts now.

Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display... Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

Working fine on my system
If on wifi, try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date
Reboot all components

Remote app in combination with ipad music app

Hi
Can i stream music from itunes to my ipad with the remote app
In fact i'm looking for an app from which i can remote control itunes on my mac mini
and stream music to my ipad, using the same library or shared library and same app
During music discovery nights with a friend
I want to prelisten to the music with the ipad
And after the correct selection i have to swith to the remote app to play the selected song on my mac mini
I constantly have to switch between remote app and ipad music app
Which is very annoying because
- remote app looses his connection after every switch between the 2 apps
- i then have to go through the complete music library again till i have the track that i wanted to play
- and many more
Also that music app has changed since a while and doesnt offer me the same comfort scrolling through my music
I recently discovered plex and its ios app
In that app we can click on the track we need and it gives me the choice to play it on the mac mini or the ipad
Which is a really cool feature
But, ..., it doesnt have any search possibilities
In every app i tried there is always something missing to make it raeaeaeaellllllyyy eaeaeaeassssyyyyy
Isnt that what technology is supposed to offer us, make ite easy and confortable
Grrrrr
I googled for a while about it
Found no defenitive answers yet

How I wish that the Music App on my iPad could work as fast and as sleek as the Remote App when connecting to my (VERY LARGE) Library.
Even with version 1.0, every time I had to connect to my Library, the response time was just a few seconds before I can see and scroll thru my Albums/Artists/etc (with Album Art and all).
With the Music App, I haven't being able to connect to my shared library since iOS 4.0 :-( And the limited times when successfully connected the response time was JUST awful.
Please 'Remote App Team' have a beer or two with the 'Music App Team' and share your expertise with them!!! I'm begging you!!! Or at least 'tweak' your App so it can stream the music to the iPad, so we can enjoy our shared libraries on it.
Today... After updating to iTunes 11, I ( 've ?) tried to connect the Music App to my Library via Home Sharing without success. So.. Again.. Please Apple, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
Thanks!!!

Can't set up FiOS Mobile Remote app for iPad

I was able to register the FiOS Mobile Remote app for iPad with my login and password but I'm not able to set it up.
I follow the instructions to
click Menu
click Widgets
click FiOS Mobile Remote
I get the following error message:
Mobile Remote
Network Error
Unable to process your request at this time.
Please try again.
If the broblem continues, please try restarting your Set-Top Box
I've turned off the power to the cable twice but still get the same message.
How can I get the app working?

I installed my new DVRs last night and tried to reactive the Mobile Remote app, but got the same error. I wonder if they're having issue with the app (so it's probably not just you).

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.

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

Getting Apple TV to play music from iTunes using Remote App on iPad

Hi
I play my iTunes Library music on my Apple TV. I use the Remoe App to select songs etc.
However, if I stream (push) from iTunes to Apple TV the subwoofer does not play (this is a well know problem). However, if I pull the music from the Apple TV (by selecting computers) it plays as it should.
When using the Remote App on my iPhone 4S I simply select the Apple TV 3, then select "More" - "Computers" and then the library. Select the music and all is good. When I select More I get all sorts of different options (Albums, Composers, Computers and six others).
However, when I do the exact same thing on the Remote App on my iPad 2 I only get the options of Songs, Playlists, Genres and Composers - but not Computers.
It doesn't seem to make much sense, does it?
I can of course select the iTunes library on the iPad and stream to the Apple TV but then I get the subwoofer problem.
Any solutions?
Thanks!

Press the Music In ... to the left of "Albums" at the bottom of the Remote App and select a different library to show in the app. That seems to do it.

Is the apple tv remote app fully functional with the iPhone 3gs?

I am thinking of getting the Apple TV so that I can stream things from my macbook pro via airplay but wanted to make sure the app on the iPhone 3gs would allow me to control it. However, I could not find an answer to this question anywhere. Anyone know if it will work fine? Thanks!

The remote app allows you to pick what media you want to play, pause, fast forward, rewind, etc. I is a remote that provides a wonderful interface to do all things related to "traditional remote control functions".
Mirroring is a function of apple TV using airplay mirroring, not a function of the remote. An apple tv will be able to mirror an Mac's display with eligible macs running Mountain Lion.
The remote app and "mirroring" are seperate things.

Can I stream the HBOGO app to my TV from my iPad with Apple TV?

Can I stream the HBOGO app to my TV from my iPad with Apple TV?

No, I would recommend getting a Roku. Apple doesn't allow Hulu Plus or HBO GO.

I am using an iPad with Apple TV and airplay with a projector in my classroom. The mirroring cuts out and back on several times during use. Any suggestions on what's causing it and how to fix it?

I am using My iPad with Apple TV, Airplay and projector in my classroom. The projector screens blanks out and back on several times during a presentation. It seems like a problem with connection but I'm not sure as it comes back on after a few seconds. Any idea of what is causing this and how it can fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

I have two apple ID's, one with all my apps and one with only Mavericks. Will Mavericks update automatically if i'm not logged in to the apple ID I used to download it?

I have two apple ID's, one with all my apps and one with only Mavericks. Will Mavericks update automatically if i'm not logged in to the apple ID I used to download it?

Some things are mixed up here, seemingly...
I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.
An Apple ID is a valid email address, apparently. How can those be "attached to your email"... what email?
Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.
This doesn't make sense. You can register multiple, even non-Apple-ID, email addresses and their aliases with FaceTime.
So, maybe you can explain your problem better - what you want and the steps you've taken and what you have so far. If something doesn't work, please tell the exact error message, too.

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

I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

HT1947 Can I use the "Remote" app to turn the Apple TV on and off?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV doesn't switch on and of, it goes to sleep and wakes up, but yes you can perform these actions using the remote app.
