Remote works as advertised, but...

I just set up Remote and it works perfectly, controlling my music library stored on my Time Capsule via my Macbook Pro.
But, I was thinking (hoping) that I could use Remote to simply listen to my music on my Touch (headphones plugged in, laying on couch...) I mean, it seems like a simpler process than controlling itunes on my MBP.
For me, this would be much more useful, since I don't have any of my computers connected to a sound system. I guess what I was hoping for was a network-based version of a 100GB ipod touch with all of my music.
I moved all of my itunes music library files (database and music) to my Time Capsule, figuring that Remote could then work from that without having my MBP running itunes.
Can Remote do this and I'm just missing it? Or another app?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I was doing some googling after submitting this question, and now realize that Remote is not designed for what I had been hoping for, which is essentially a streaming audio receiver. Oh well. On the plus side, it did prompt me to xfer my itunes library to my Time Capsule, and I've learned a lot about working with that program over my home network.
Thanks again!

865 - Remote works in HiFi but not w/ Media Center III. Girder??

First of all, kudos to all of you for supporting each other in getting the MEGA to operate as intended. I have a couple questions maybe you can help me with:
Does anyone know of a quick fix for re-associating the bundled remote with Media Center III? Mine worked initially, but when I loaded the drivers for the remote bundled with my MSI Personal Cinema FX-5200 card it stopped operating in Media Center III. The remote works in HiFi mode without a hitch, but not at all in PC mode.
Also, can the Girder software be used to program other remotes controls, like the one that came with my Personal Cinema card (NVidia remote, USB interface)? It is a much better remote than the MSI remote and would be a great replacement. I looked in the plug-ins on the girder website an could not find any related to the Personal Cinema product.
thanks for your help!!

Akumaisme,
I don't know about an independent karaoke function, but MSI has included a separate program for the radio part on the drivers disc: MSI Radio. Installing this program enables you to use the same functions of the radio in PC-mode as you can in Hifi-mode, without the need to install MCIII.
As far as Girder is concerned, maybe this will explain things: Girder is used to "catch" the commands (button strokes) from your remote receiver and (if neccessary) divert them to other programs. For this you need two things: a working pair of remote and receiver, and a Girder plugin that is written for the specific type of receiver.
So should you choose to be able to use the MSI remote (which I believe is not the case) with other programs than MCIII, you need the Girder plugin written by Nathan (see Sticky at the top of this forum).
I think you want to use the second option: a different (third party) remote. First of all, you most likely won't be able to use this remote with the built-in MEGA receiver. You'll need the receiver of your Personal Cinema card. Then you'll have to take a look at the Girder site / forum whether there is a plugin available for this Personal Cinema card, good chance there is. After installation, you then only need to configure Girder with the proper plugin AND need to learn it to divert the button strokes of your Personal Cinema remote to the MCIII application.
I hope you'll find this information useful.

Remote printer is recognized but message says can't find printer? It worked great before installing OSX Maverick

Remote printer is recognized but message says can't find printer? It worked great before installing OSX Maverick?

Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately I have already rebooted the router and that did not fix the problem. The weird thing is that the computer is connected to the network, it just won't connect to my computer. I have printed the network configuration page to confirm this, and it says the wireless signal is strong.
I have not changed anything at all recently in terms of routers, networks, etc. The printer stopped working completely randomly.
Is there a part in the printer that like emits a signal which computers, phones, etc are supposed to detect? I don't know enough about the mechanics to really theorize about what is wrong, but it seems like that is the only thing that stopped working.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Sockets work on localhost but not remotely?

hi there,
I have created a simple multithreaded client / server program.
The Server listens on port 2222 for clients. When a client connects - the client sends its ip address to the server and then disconects. More than 1 client can connect at the same time to the server and the server also listens continuasly. I have 2 problems with the program...
a) the programs work on localhost but not on remote machines? (Well not over my LAN anyway).
b) I am getting 2 lots of 'datain' when the server recieves an ip address from the client when the client should only send it once.
The code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.projectg.dsl.pipex.com

In your client you are creating two sockets (why?). One connected to localhost, the other connected to the host specified using readLine.
If your client runs on the same machine you have started your server, you have two connects to your server instead of one.
The ip adresse is sent using the socket connected to localhost. That is why it does not work on remote machines.
Hope this helps.

Apple remote works but doesn't connect to the iMac

My remote worked when I first got, over the last few weeks I have been unable to use it. I have been through all the test that Apple suggest and the remote is working fine, I can't think of anything in the room that would interfere with it.

I have fixed it, I turned of the IR off, did a restart and turned it back on and it is working fine now

Home hub advertising, but intermittently cannot co...

Hi,
I've reported many problems over the past few months with my BB and I'm getting nowhere, can I ask for some more technical help?
The problem is most evenings, I can be online and it will suddenly kick everything off the network. When attempting to reconnect, I can see the hub2 but cannot connect. It won't accept the password, I can't get an IP address when connecting by a LAN cable, I can't manage it - it's as if someone temporarily changes the password and access rights.
It happens on all devices at the same time, so my work's BT laptop on the VPN, my Mac, my iphone, the wife's HTC phone... all suffer the same problem on seeing the hub advertising but can't connect.
A reset sometimes cures it, but mostly doesn't. It can be off all night and then be fine in the morning without changing anything.
BT FON and BT Openzone continue to broadcast from my hub, and I can use them, although they are horrifically slow and a great pain.
So far, I'm on my 3rd hub2, I've tried every combination of settings known to man in the config, I've had it in all different places in the house. Nothing changes between it working to not.
Am I suffering some sort of remotely imposed service restriction??

stats look ok with expected speed for you attenuation. if it all works in the master or test socket but not in an extension socket it would suggest there is an internal wirng problem. is it not possible just to leave in master?
have you tried a full hub reset - paperclip in small hole on the back?

How does Remote work with Apple TV?

How does Remote work with Apple TV?
1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
OR
Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
(If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
thank you in advance, Tom

Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

I would like to know why when i make a web page and test in my local browser it works fine then when i tranfer to my server i does not work fine example i used javascript to put a prompt bar on a page and it worked fine local but on server not working

how come when i make a web site and i test it in my local server it works fine when i tranfer to server certain things do not work example i used javascript to put in a prompt bar for a newsletter page at the server it did not work but at local it did also it works at MOZZILLA but not internet explorer i also have cs4 was wondering if there is a way to test a page in dreamweaver and then transfer THANK YOU X-FACTOR-MEDIA

Split tunnel works... but only for one IP

Hi All,
Dealing with a really frustrating problem. Our setup, roughly, is as follows:
- We have a remote access VPN that users connect to with any connect; in turn, they are assigned a local LAN address: 10.1.11.192-10.1.11.200
- We have a site-to-site VPN that connects to Amazon AWS to access 10.0.249.0 and other subnets, and now certain hosts on the Amazon *public* network (e.g, 54.1.2.3). This is done via a split tunnel.
What we're seeing is this:
- Users connect to the VPN and are assigned one of the addresses above. Let's use 10.1.11.192 for this example.
- They can then access anything in the 10.0.249.0 subnet (via the split tunnel) just fine. This goes across both ASA devices.
- They can then access anything in the public Amazon network (via the split tunnel) just fine. This should only use the remote access ASA.
So, it seemed like everything was working. When connected to the VPN, Amazon hosts in both 10.x.x.x networks and public IPs that I had specifically tunneled (we plan to transition these to a VPC soon) were accessible, and access happened via the remote access VPN IP (i.e, when connecting to 54.1.2.3, it showed the user being logged in from the Cisco's gateway's IP address, as opposed to the local client IP).
Now, here's where things got weird: *public* tunneled hosts at Amazon only works with the first address in the pool, 10.1.11.192. No other addresses work. 10.0.249.x is always available, regardless of assigned IP. 54.x.y.z is only available with .192.
I've used the same computer with different assigned IPs (10.1.11.193-10.1.11.200), and none work. I've connected using different computers.. they work if assigned .192, but not any other addresses. Other users report the same issue.
TCP handshaking is failing
I'll use our IRC server (and sometimes ssh server) for testing. I can see my client laptop with a SYN_SENT on that specific connection. I can see the IRC server with a SYN_RECV, and the ASA shows a SYN timeout after 30 seconds. Thus, it looks as though packets from the IRC server can't make their way back through the ASA to my client laptop.
I suspect this has something to do with dynamic vs. static NAT, etc., but I've fiddled with every setting I can, and coming up blank.
I'm also baffled as to why .192 works, but no other addresses do.
I've attached our configuration, minus keys and passwords and certain IPs/hostnames. It's a little bit ugly because it has some poor attempts at fixing this, things I'll probably remove after it works, but.. Could it have anything to do with TCP sequence randomization?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Jouni! Thank you so much for your quick reply. Mine was delayed because I've continued to fight the ASA this afternoon! Apologies for my verbosity, always found it better to include too much info than too little!
To clarify, ideally, a VPN client that connects to this ASA (10.1.11.5) should have three possible destinations:
- The internet at large - this should not go through the ASA, but should go through the client's own gateway, bypassing this VPN entirely. This works.
- My servers in an Amazon VPC (10.0.249.x and some others) - this should come in to this ASA (10.1.11.5), which in turn is already successfully routed to another ASA (10.1.11.4 in the config). This works, too.
- My servers at Amazon AWS that are on the public internet (example below: 107.22.xxx.yyy). This should only involve the one ASA in question (10.1.11.5). This is where I'm running into issues.
The split tunnel, thus, includes the networks 10.0.249.x and specific public AWS hosts like 107.22.xxx.yyy, etc. I want 10.0.249.x to go to Amazon via the other ASA 10.1.11.4 (again, this works) and I want 107.22.xxx.yyy, etc. to go to Amazon via *this* ASA (10.1.11.5). Basically, it's this last part that's causing problems: it works only one in very, very narrow situation: when the client is assigned the address 10.1.11.192. If a user logs in and is assigned any other address, they won't be able to access the "public" AWS servers.
I began by taking your advice and moving the IP assignment to an entirely different subnet: 10.1.12.100-10.1.12.200. I then spent a decent chunk of the afternoon adjusting NAT rules (and removing ACLs, per your suggestion). The only brief success I had was when I had about a bajillion NAT rules, and somehow I made it on to the IRC server! Oddly, my connection used the ASA's address itself, rather than the ASA gateway's address. Unfortunately, I stopped being able to reach 10.0.249.x at the time :/ I tried to adjust further, but cannot restore/recall what the NAT rules were.
I'm miffed because 10.1.11.192 works, and *nothing* else does. There is nothing special about this address in the config - I've tried everything I can to figure out why this one address is different. I've also looked in places that *shouldn't* matter because this bypasses the VPC entirely (AWS security groups, AWS iptables rules, VPC options, etc.)
Again, the behavior of 10.1.11.193-200 is a partial TCP handshake: the local computer sees SYN_SENT, and the remote server has SYN_RECV, but no connection is ultimately established. This is why I think it could be a NAT issue, but I'm obviously a bit lost here Here's a sample connection attempt, with DNS traffic removed:

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.
Jim
