Remote App doesn't work with iPod 2nd Gen or iPhone 3G

I have been using till recently the "Remote" app to control a Apple Express base station from an iPod 2nd Generation (and it also would work from iPhone 3G. It worked great.
Today, I noticed that it is not working. I am getting a message that says the the update of the App is no longer compatible with the iPod or the iPhone that I was using. Both of them are running Version 4.2.1
Does anybody know anyway to get the iPod 2nd generation or the iPhone 3G to be compatible with the "Remote" app? Is there anywork around.
My teenager loved to be able to control the tunes in his room with one of these devices.
I appreciate any advice or help you can offer.

Maybe:

If you have a copy of the Remote app in your iTunes library that is compatible with your iPod delete the app from your iPod/iPhone and sync the app to yur device.
If not, delete the version in you iTunes library and transfer/copy the app to your iTunes library by
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
There is no way to the later version on your devices.

Remote app doesn't work with ipad 2 and ios 7.0.3

Hi to everyone!
I have a problem with the remote app and my ipad 2 using ios 7.0.3
If I try to add a song to "next songs" the app crashes. But it works fine on the iphone 5 with ios 7.0.3
What could be the solution to solve this problem?

there's been an update for the remote app, now all works fine :-)

I've bought an app called WhatsApp but I was not told that app doesn't work for ipod. So I would like to know how to turn back and get my money back.

Did you fail to look at the requirements before purchasing?
All sales are final. You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you updated to the latest version of the Remote App.

Remote app no longer works with Yosemite.

Since downloading Yosemite, my Remote app no longer works. Have also been having recurring problems with email security certificates.

Same problem here after updating my iPad to iOS 6.1 and the Apple TV to the newest firmware. I open the remote app then I select Apple TV the screen switches to connecting to Apple TV but it never finishes it is stuck at connecting to Apple TV. The App has no problem finding the Apple TV but it seems unable to connect, home sharing is activated on the
App, the iPad and the Apple TV.
Tried resetting setting and factory restore on the Apple TV, deleting and installing the Remote App in my iPad 3 but the problem persist.
On a twist the the Remote App on my iPhone 4S updated to iOS 6.1 works perfectly and it has no issues connecting to the Apple TV it seems to be an iPad issue. I will tried connecting to the Apple TV with an updated iPad 2 later and I will report back.

My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

I have a brand new iMac 27" with mountain lion, and Doesn't work with my aluminium remote control, I already follow the steps on Help, but there's no IR option on the advanced button of security and privacy. Of course I already check with my iphone dock and the batteries are OK, So I think it's a bug from the OS.
Any thougths?

Thanks mende1.
Apple that, *****!!

Do New Earphones work with the 2nd Gen Shuffle?

So my dog chewed up my 2nd Gen Ipod Shuffle earphones and I wanted to replace them. When I went to the the apple online store they are only selling the new earphones for the 3rd Gen Shuffle, that has a remote and a mic. It only says it supports the 3rd Gen Shuffle. Would I still be able to hear music on the new earphones? I don't really care about the remote and mic capabilities.
Here's the link to the 3rd Gen Earphones:

YES! I just used my 3rd Gen (replacement) earphones with my 2nd Gen
shuffle this evening... they worked fine.

Will most apps work with ipod 2nd or 3rd gen?

hi there
im looking to buy an ipod touch but im going to buy a slightly older version 2nd or 3rd generation but i dont wether most apps (especially games) are gonna work or have a lag and how to avoid that because it seems that the new IOS dont work so well with the older ipod.
thanks!

You'll have to look at the requirements for each App in the app to determine whether or not it will still work with a 2G iPod Touch, which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.
Several apps have already been updated to require iOS 5 or later, which can be installed on a 3G iPod Touch.
So in my opinion, it would be much more effective to purchase a 3G iPod Touch instead.

Remote on apple earphones doesn't work with iPod Touch 4G :(

Hi I have two in-ear earphones, the Apple one and the V-Moda RRMT, the one with the remote similar to Apple's. I've heard volume control works with iPhone 3GS, and have tried both earphones in iPad and they both work. Recently I bought an iPod Touch 4 and found that the volume control of Apple works while V-Moda's doesn't. Since both earphones (presumably) uses the same tech to control the volume, my current thinking is there may just be a problem with the way I'm plugging in the V-Moda earphone. I've tried reseating it several times and I still haven't been able to resolve this issue.
After scouring the google and the v-moda site, I still couldn't find any definitive confirmation that iPod Touch 4 doesn't support V-Moda's volume control. I'd like to know if V-Moda's volume control is compatible with iPod Touch 4 or not, and also the possible reasons why they don't work together.
I was looking at the earphone jack earlier and I found that regular earphone jacks only have 2 bands, while earphones that connect to iOS devices have 3 bands, so I'm guessing the 3rd band is what Apple uses for all of the extra functionalities such as Mic, Play-Pause-Talk, and Volume Control. Upon further inspection I saw that the 3rd band is not wholly covered in iPod Touch 4, could it be that the input signal coming from the V-Moda remote isn't strong enough to be received by the earphone jack of iPod touch because it doesn't fully encircle the third band? Any clarification on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried turning your iPod off and back on? My son wasn't able to see the AirPlay icon until he did that. He has a 4G Touch and I have a 3G, but we still don't have AirPlay working correctly. It connects and disconnects randomly, but we are able to see the icon most of the time.

Keynote remote app no longer working with keynote for ipad

noticed after upgrading that the keynote remote does not pair with keynote for the ipad. Any suggestion on a resolution or anyone else experiencing this issue?

I didn't realize until I went to a class to lecture in front of a couple hundred students that what worked on Friday no longer worked on Monday. (I upgraded to iOS 5 over the weekend.) My iPad with lecture slides was plugged in 25 feet away. I finally recruited a student to tap the iPad screen when I needed the next slide. A nightmare. What is usually slick and seamless was a wreck.
Here's my deal. My remote app works fine at home where my iPod Touch and iPad are on the same wifi network. At school they're on different networks for some reason. Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere. So Apple needs to find this bug and fix it. I can't believe whoever is responsible for this didn't test this out before they released iOS 5. Sheesh.

Apple Remote App Doesn't Work

So I cannot figure this out. For some reason when I use the Remote app it doesn't work right. In iTunes it does not come up under the devices tab. I have tried both with and without my iPod connected and for some reason it just isn't working for me. I would really appreciate soem help because this app seems awesome to me.

In iTunes 8:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Devices tab. Make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
In iTunes 7:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Advanced tab. Select the General tab beneath it, and make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
You also want to be sure that both devices (the computer and the iPod) are connected to the same wireless network.

Podcast app doesn't work with iTunes this made me want back to 5.1.1

Apple may want to make podcast more popout. they made a NEW app "podcasts"
but I start to hate apple to do this just like the iOS 6 maps.
the new Podcasts app is desinged to be work alone (without iTunes)
it can download subscribe find, ok that's cool but it just won't work with iTunes. maybe apple have data shows more people are iDevice centered.
But I'm an iTunes centered user. I use iTunes to search subscribe download and DELETE Podcast that I've watched. and I LOVE THIS WAY! I DON"T WANT MY PHONE TO Manage or store podcasts!
back to iOS 5. every moming, I sync my iPhone with my iTunes, 1 new unplayed podcasts from every show was synced to my iPhone. and I play them on the way to my company.
at night I watch some other shows on my mac. them sync with iPhone. all played podcasts will not remain on iPhone, and marked as played in iTunes and ready to be deleted. iTunes only keep 4 episodes. all things is automatic. but iOS 6 Changes everything. It won't works with iTunes, and music can't play podcasts anymore. I have to Manually subscribe on iPhone again! and Manualy delete on iPhone and Manualy delete on iTunes.
THIS IS TOTOALLY Unacceptable... for me. My phone or iPad have very limited spaces, and 3G data plan.
Use iTunes means, no 3G needed, download only once!
Use Podcast app and sync over iCould means 3G data and download as the same number as yours devices. for me I have to download a same show for 3 times.
I Hope there is some way that can make the old music app back.

I agree, i tried to do what i always do at my office today on my ipod touch, connect to the wifi at the end of the day to download new podcast episodes for my subway ride home, and instead, iTunes with the ios6 update installed yesterday won't let me do that, it tells me i need the new Podcasts app, fine, i go install it, and then when i go back to music, it tells me my podcasts are moved, i go to the new app, so over i go. The new app is slow, crashes twice trying to get into it, i can't see any way to make a playlist, i managed to download some new episodes, but can't see how to make a playlist still. I found out how to delete it (and doing so brought back Podcasts and my podcast playlist to the music app, huzzah!!)
The Podcasts app is not the quality i want from Apple. I like my ipod, i really do, but it seems Apple is convinced that whenever they make a change they think will make things better, they delete old ways of doing things that work for us, the real people in the world using their devices. I like the notion of a stand alone app for finding and downloading podcasts, but why does that necessitate removing them from the music app to play since primarily i download all my new podcasts at night, listen to some on my computer while working at home, put them in an itunes playlist in the order i want to listen to them, then sync each morning with my PC to have whatever i haven't listened to in a playlist so it can play all day at work while i'm there.
Hopefully Apple can learn from this and the ongoing Maps debacle to maybe not be so quick to tell their users how we have to use the devices, and instead spend some time listening to how we use the devices to make our experience better rather than enforcing how they want it used on us.

HT1947 The Remote app does not work with my McBook Air !!!!

Dictionary App doesn't work with Snow Leopard

Hey, just upgraded my Macbook from leopard to Snow leopard and now the apple dictionary app is too out dated. Where can I find an update for this app so that it'll work with snow leopard?

Not sure why the proper Dictionary didn't install with the upgrade. One option is to install it now from the disc using Pacifist.
Read Kappy's instructions for using.

Last.fm app doesn't work with iPhone 2.1

last.fm doesn't work under 2.1. The app starts but there's no sound or album artwork... and after a few seconds the app just crashes...
Does anyone have the same problem?

The last.fm folks are aware of the issue. The issue will be resolved when version 2.0 of the last.fm software is released for the iPhone. According to last.fm, they were supposed to submit the update to Apple earlier this week for approval, so the ball is in Apple's court. Check out the following thread for more info:
