Remote.app -No gesture control TV (Gen1)

I've deleted and re-added my iTunes library on the TV as well as deleting and re-adding my iPhone 4S as a remote and still do not have the option to gesture control within the App. AppleTV says it's software is up to date and this is with the current Remote.app release.

Talk about bizarre, launched the Remote app today and the buttons of the bottom tab bar were a completely different set than when I set it up and tried using it yesterday. Gestures are back.

  • IOS Remote app does not control Internet Radio on Apple TV

    I just bought a 3rd generation Apple TV and one of the things I want to use it for is playing Internet Radio stations (not the new Radio feature). It does this fine and I can listen to BBC radio stations, however, the iOS remote app can't control this for some reason. It works fine if I control iTunes on my Mac mini with the same app. This makes no sense. Am I missing something?

    you know, as many movies as I rented this summer directly from the Apple TV, not once did i ever try to start one using the iPhone remote... guess it never crossed my mind to.
    I wonder if it is even supposed to work that way though. Is there a rented movies category on the remote app when you are connected to the Apple TV?
    I cannot remember, guess its been a while since I worked with it a great deal.

  • Remote app no longer controls speakers?

    I just updated the remote app to version 1.1. I can't seem to control the remote speakers anymore. It used to be that I would click on "more" on the iphone screen, and then "settings" and I would have access to all of my different speaker zones. Now there's nothing there. Anyone know of a way to turn on your different remote speakers using version 1.1 or am I missing something?

    Thanks for that. I've been staring at it this morning, trying to figure out where the speakers went. Not the easiest change to find!

  • HT1947 Any way to directly control the apple TV volume via ios remote app?

    It is great that remote app can now control direct streaming options to the apple TV (such as apple match, apple radio, and home sharing) but is there any way for the remote app to control the volume?
    Note that when I indirectly stream music through an external device (such as an iphone/ipad/laptop), I can of course use an apps volume control (such as, say, spotify, or itunes or whatever), and that works. What i'm talking about here is instances where I'm using the remote app to have the apple TV stream directly from, say, apple radio.
    As it stands now, the only way to control the volume in such cases is to control what is receiving the signal from the apple TV (such as an amplifer, or external sound producing device such as powered speakers, etc.).
    To make sure this clear to everyone, if I do:
    internet -> WIFI LAN -> iphone running, say, spotify -> WIFI LAN via airplay -> Apple TV -> Amplifer
    I can control the volume using the spotify app (or even the iphone's volume). This also works if I replace the spotify app with any music app runing
    on the iphone (such as the music app). If, however, I try to do the following:
    internet -> LAN -> Apple TV -> Amplifer
    and where the Apple TV is controled via the latest iphone/ipad remote app so that the Apple TV streams from, say, apple radio directly, there is no way
    to control the volume other than to adjust the amplifer.
    Thanks very much!

    The Apple TV has no volume control. When you are streaming from an app you are then controlling the  volume  on your iphone and transmitting via airplay.

  • Remote app: control command not available

    Hi all,
    I am using Remote app 2.3 on a iPhone 4G and an iPad 1 together with Apple TV 1st gen (software version 3.0.2).
    On the ipad I can see the control cross as an icon to control Apple TV with finger moves.
    Unfortunately on my iPhone, remote only shows the following standard icons in the menu bar: Genius, Lists, Artists, Search and more.
    I can't find any control field.
    Does anyone has an idea why the app is missing the control command in the iPhone's version?
    Kind regards
    Günter

    Hi vazandrew,
    thank you for your tipps.
    I selected Apple TV in the two squares (I have two entries my media library of macbook and my Apple TV).
    In a youtube tutorial I saw that if you control your macbooks media library, no gesture interface is visible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUzy8jcjvPs&feature=related (min 4:30) If you select your Apple TV, the interface is shown.
    I can imagine that remote app does not recognize Apple TV as a device that can be controled with the gesture interface. What do you think?
    So I tried next the complete homesharing activation on every device.
    Infortunately - even if selected the homesharing option in my macbook and the remote control, the menu for Apple TV stays without the icon of gesture interface.
    So I disconnected my library from Apple TV (which copies the contents of my macbook on the harddisk of Apple TV) and I hoped that only streaming of the media library to the Apple TV could help. But no fortune (even the connection via my wlan router broke very often down, when the macbook streamed to Apple TV).
    It is now still copying the contents again on it - approx. 120 GB - so I will have to wait to try out other things.
    As I said, my iPad 1 works properly with the gesture interface.
    Kind of strange thing... :-)
    Kind regards,
    Günter

  • Remote App No Longer Recognizes Swipe Gestures

    I noticed today that the Remote Application no longer accepts left/right and up/down swipe gestures.
    It recognizes tapping and the Menu virtual button, but that's it.
    Has anyone else experienced this after upgrading to iOS 4.2 and Apple TV 4.1?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I have had this problem CONSISTENTLY since downloading remote app to my iTouch. The controls will work for awhile then it loses that functionality. It's terribly annoying. I have to reset the Apple TV, delete then reload the remote app, etc. It's not worth the trouble when it's purported to be "easy."

  • TS1741 Remote app on my iOS devices control my apple tv, but won't turn my newest gen apple tv on when i open the app.

    Hello CournteyGould3,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I found an article with steps you can take when your remote app can't connect to the Apple TV.  I recommend following the steps in the article below (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

  • Remote App cannot control Radio – Continuously displays loading message

    Been having this problem for quite a while and no one on the internet seems to know how to fix it. Here are the exact steps:
    1. Connect to Macbook Pro itunes from ipad 2 or iphone 4 using Remote App.
    2. Connection is established and can control local library, volume, start, stop... etc..
    3. Try to click on the "Radio" tab in the side bar... right panel displays "Loading..." messaging.
    4. iTunes on Macbook Pro appears to refresh the listing of radio stations and they are displayed within itunes
    5. iPad or iPhone remote app continues to display the "Loading..." graphic and never actually loads the radio station listing
    Result:
    Radio cannot be controlled remotely by the remote app.
    Additional notes:
    If you start a radio station from the iTunes app from the computer itself, you can then stop and start it from remote, but you can never control the listing/look for other radio stations, etc.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Seems like a huge bug and I'm curious if anyone has found a solution.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Also having a similar problem.  Maybe what I've tried will help, possibly not though as I'm still searching for a solution too. 
    Have Remote App on iPhone 4S to control Apple TV (ver3) which it does fine regarding playlists on iTunes (on Win PC), but doesn't regarding iTunes Radio.  Curiously, Apple TV has an iTunes Radio app within it's menu, but it can only be controlled (apparently) with the Apple TV remote (not the iPhone Remote App), AND you'll need Apple TV connected to a TV monitor to see what's happening...you can't see it from the Remote App on the iPhone.  I've digressed a bit, sorry.  What I noticed on the Remote App is when you click on your iTunes library and then click on the "More" option (bottom right) it actually has a listing for Radio.  If you click on Radio the genre list comes up then you can select a station.  The problem is that the station never plays.
    In another problem post someone suggested creating an iTunes Radio playlist within your iTunes library and then dragging individual radio stations to it, just like you would any other music.  When I tried that, the Remote App can "see" this playlist through your library, but similar to the above, the station never plays once you select it.  Note: The other post suggests that this allows the Remote App to play your radio stations, but I never got it to work.
    So, like all above, I'm stuck as well.  Very strange that the Remote App can "see" the Radio stations via my two methods above, but is not able to make them "play".

  • What happened to control in remote app 1.3.1?

    I was exclusively using the control part (remember the icon with the 4 directional arrows?) of the remote app to control my apple tv. It was great and mimicked the white apple remote very nicely.
    Thing is, since I upgraded to 1.3.1 I can't for the life of me find the feature there any more. Now I stuck with the tv shows icon which is awful to use and it throws the episodes all over the place.
    Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong as I just want my remote app on my iphone to mimic my old little white apple remote, nothing more.
    Please tell me it wasn't done away with.

    Cheers for the idea.
    I tried both to no avail.
    I'm running Leopard on my mac mini which has the itunes library that my NAS is hooked up to so it's on 24/7.
    My itunes library that I hook up my iphone to is on my macbook as that's the day to day computer for me. That runs snow leopard.
    I have a niggling feeling that because remote is installed under snow leopard and the itunes library i'm connecting to is on leopard may be causing a problem.
    Dammit!

  • TS2972 I have signed in with same Apple ID & same network but still can't use Remote app to control my iTunes via iPhone 4s or iPad2.

    I have gone through FAQ and tried all methods and checked settings in my iMac and my iOS devices (iPhone 4s and iPad2) and still can't useRemore app to control iTunes. I have used this app without a problem before with my old iPhone 3 and it worked fine.
    What is wrong with it?

    Other than you have used it before and it worked - can you provide some more details? You don't see your iTunes library in the remote app?

  • How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app  on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

    I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!!  However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
    1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
    2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv.  (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing.  I can't search/browse any other music)
    If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

    Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
    My problem involves:
    icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier.  Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing.  This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
    What does work is:
    iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off.  I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

  • 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.
