Remote App and Two Apple TV's problem

I recently bought a second ATV. I have them labeled as Bedroom ATV and Living Room ATV. When I use the remote app on my iPad 2 or iPhone 4s it doesn't connect well. Sometimes when I hit AirPlay drop down the bedroom shows as Bedroom Apple TV (3)???  I often have to unplug the ATV to get it to be recognized in the Remote App. All devices have the most current firmware and are on the same network in my home. Is there anything I can do to make this work more consistently? It's a pain to constantly unplug the ATV to use the remote app or to get AirPlay to connect.
Thoughts? Thanks

I'm using Yosemite
it Works and i could get the Second One removed. Great. But I still have the Double genius lists..

  • 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

  • Iphone remote app and itunes

    All seemed to be going well until - the updates.
    Now my iphone will not recognize my itunes libraries. I deleted the library link from the iPhone remote app and even told itunes to forget all remotes. Back to my iphone to set up as a remote - again. The iphone generates the 4 digit code, itunes even recognizes the iphone, allows me to enter the code, and returns the screen that I can now start using the iphone as a remote. --- Back to the iphone - and the remote app can "find the library" - What gives? Help
    <edited by host>

    Revelation, do you mean complete restore of the iPhone and all contents thereof? Or the Mac?
    I have deleted the application "Remote" from the iPhone, and I have re-installed it. Each time the application will work for a limited time, and then it loses the ability to locate the library.
    I continue to suspect IP addresses as the source of the problem, and wonder if the addresses must be static on both devices in order for them to maintain a connection. However, I find it odd that iTunes can register the presence of the iPhone enough to list it in the "devices" pane (therefore, I assume that the two devices are communicating over my network) but then the iPhone fails to locate the iTunes library.
    Other applications (Briefcase Lite, for example) seem to be able to conduct over-the-network business without difficulty.

    Hi Kenneth,
    Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
    You can setup the session time limit in different method.
    1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
    2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
    3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
    4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
    5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
    6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK. 
    And apart also by group policy setting as below.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    -  Set time limit for disconnected sessions
    -  Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  End session when time limits are reached
    Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.

  • Remote App and iTunes not syncing

    I'm trying to get the Remote.app and the iTunes DJ to sync so that I can control my computer library from iPod Touch. However, the icon for remote does not appear in the iTunes tray under my iPod in "Devices." How can I fix this?
    For starters it is a 2.2 version iPod (volume rocker version) and I have the 3.0 firmware on it. My iTunes is the current 8.2 version. I also already have "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" checked in my preferences in iTunes. I do have a wireless connection and both my laptop and iPod are connected to it properly. My iPod was connected before, but accidentally. I removed another computer from the library list and now it won't connect.

    Have had the exact same problem since the last iTunes update came through. remote worked just fine before that.

  • Remote app and home sharing

    remote app & home sharing worked on my new iPad (3rd gen) but did not work on my iPhone 4. this went on for a week or so but now both of them (remote app and home sharing) work on my iPhone but stopped working on iPad. I tried re installing itunes to 10.6.1.7 (latest version) with no luck. please help because i prefer using my ipad to control my pc

    Be sure that all devices are on the same network.
    If apple tv and remote are on same homeshare you should be able to select and control the apple tv from with in the remote app.
    If apple tv and the itunes are on the same homeshare the apple tv will see the itunes library (and shared photos) in the computer section.
    Additionally if these are all on the same homeshare you should see both the apple tv and the itunes library in the remote app.
    hope that helps.

  • IOS Remote App and ATV2

    I cannot get the iOS remote app to connect to my Apple TV2. It connects just fine to the iTunes libraries on my network, but from three different iOS devices I get the same error. The app sees the ATV2 and tries to connect, but fails. The odd thing is, it used to work flawlessly. I hadn't used the app for a month or so and now its not working. I've tried resetting the apple TV (both power cycle and full settings reset) as well as rebooting the router and the iOS devices. I reinstalled the remote app as well. The weird thing is, I can airplay mirror to the ATV2 fine, just the remote app fails. The error message I receive after sitting at the "Connecting to Apple TV" screen is as follows:
    "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again.
    I have no idea what changed in my set up, perhaps a software upgrade screwed something up but I'm at a loss I've tried everything. The ATV2 is running 4.4.4, the iOS devices are all up to date running latest remote app.
    I Apple TV can access my iTunes libraries fine as well.

    Mar 30, 2013 11:31 AM Recently purchased new AirPort Extreme.  The wifi network works fine and all is well.  The issue is I can not connect my Remote app with iTunes or my Apple TV. - I have rebooted my AP Extreme as well as my AP TV and my PC. - I have logged out of Home Sharing and logged back in. - On my iPad or iPhone I add Library and receive a Passcode, I enter in the PC into iTunes and I receive an error message "The passcode you entered was incorrect. Please try again"  I receive this error when entering all my idivices. - I have deleted the Remote App and reinstalled it, but continue to receive the same error message. - All soft ware on all divices are current. - I have diabled my firewall. Who has any ideas?  Thanks MacBook Air, iOS 5.1.1

  • Can I have 1 Apple ID for apps and 1 Apple ID for iCloud

    I would like to have 1 Apple ID for purchasing apps and 1 Apple ID for iCloud. Is that possible? If I need to use the iCloud ID for apps, will it get rid of my old apps?

    Yes you can.  Changing your ID won't get rid of any of your previous purchases.  You just won't be able to redownload them from iCloud.  (They are permanently tied to the ID you used to purchase them and you can't switch IDs and redownload under the new ID for 90 days - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627).  So be sure to transfer them to your iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  That way you can sync them back at any time without worrying about having to redownload them.

  • Remote App and Desktop Login Does NOT work

    Hello there,
    I have an easy one for you all.  I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter off a server at a university.  This server is only intended to be shared with ~10 people doing various tasks like using programs installed and storing data.  As
    of now, I only have been able to do RDP from home with it.  Having tried to setup remote app and desktop, it only works on the server itself and not on other computers, both on the same subnet and a completely different IP address altogether.  Let
    me break down my questions:
    1.  Though the security certificate is  installed in Trusted Root Authorities, but the site is only trusted on the server and not on any of the other computers.  How do I get the others to trust it?
    2. Number 1 except this occurs in the Remote Desktop and App window as well.
    3. Adding users would be under active directory administrative center-->[my server]-->Users-->Add  right?  I guess I cannot play with 'User Accounts' in control panel anymore.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Also, if anyone thinks I am better off doing other things like virtual desktop, then I am all ears.  I just want to keep things as simple as possible.
    Regards,
    Ben

    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.

  • Update in my Mac App Store. It is Angry Birds for Mac. Not my app and the Apple ID that it is registered to is not mine. Can't Delete it. Any ideas

    Update in my Mac App Store. It is Angry Birds for Mac. Not my app and the Apple ID that it is registered to is not mine. Can't Delete it. Any ideas

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove may not be the one named in the update notice. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Tried updating Iphone 4 and now have got all my brothers apps and his apple ID sign in?

    Tried updating Iphone 4 and now have got all my brothers apps and his apple ID sign in?

    You must have synched your phone with his iTunes account.  The iPhone can only be synched with one iTunes account at a time.  You need to synch your phone on a computer that has YOUR iTunes account.  Then all the current data on your phone (your brother's data) will be erased and replaced with your own data.

  • IPad remote app and apple tv (gen1)

    I have the remote app on my iPhone 4 and iPad. Everything is up to date. The iPhone works fine controlling the apple tv, but I cant get the iPad to connect.
    I start the remote app on the iPad get the 4 digit number. I enter it on the apple tv, but it won't let me select the done button.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The Album art is a known issue. Your other problem sounds like your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
    The reason it would work again for a while is that switching AirPlay off and on re-establishes a network connection. Whether that's what is happening isn't certain, but it could explain:
    ...... but that wouldn't explain why each time, it starts playing again correctly when I unclick and click the ATV in the Multiple mode dropdown.

  • Remote App and Internet Sharing Problem

    Ok so basically heres the setup we have, we have one of the recent iMacs, a Macbook, and 3 PC's, one running XP and the other 2 Vista. All of these computers are on a network together. All our music is on one of the Vista PC's, called "SERVER". This PC is connected to the speaker system, so is what we use for music.
    Now I've been trying to use an iPod Touch we have (most recent firmware 2.2, and most recent Remote app version.) and the remote app to control the itunes on this PC. This is not an issue when the iPod is connected to the Wifi the router itself provides (its one of those wireless routers), but when I switch the Wifi the iPod is using to the Wifi provided by the iMac using internet sharing, it suddenly can't find the library anymore. Internet (safari) still works fine from the ipod when connected to this Wifi point.
    My guess is that because the iMac using internet sharing seems to act more like a router than a wireless access point (allocating its own IP adresses ect..), the iPod thinks its on a different wireless network, and thus cant see the itunes library. Obviously the iMac is connected to the router directly by ethernet, if I hadnt mentioned that.
    So, my question is, can I fix this ?
    Is there any way to make the internet sharing mac behave like a wireless access point and not like a router ?
    Help would be much appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    asuming you mean internet sharing as in you connect adhoc to 1 computer using wifi and the rest of the network is wired
    problems is the middle name of adhoc wifi though cause everybody problems imho
    and wifi routers are soo cheap most people don't bother
    even if internet sharing is used remote app should still work if not connecting adhoc at least it's working for me right now
    with a setup of many computers 1 wifi router
    1 computer sharing internet using an usb 3g modem
    remote app works with all my computers and my appletv
