Sort order in iPad's Remote app

I have a few smart playlists in iTunes. When I control iTunes from my iPad's Remote app, some playlists show up (correctly) ordered by Album, other smart playlists are ordered by song. In iTunes (on my MacPro), though, both are ordered by album. Is there a way to control sort order in the Remote app's window?
Thanks.

I have the same problem. I converted my ipad incompatible videos - shot with my digital camera - to work with the iPad and got 2 identical event folders on my iPad with the same name.
If I rename the event in iPhoto both events on my iPad are renamed but still split in photos and videos.
Hope this will be fixed soon with an iPhoto or iTunes? update.
Cheers,
Steffmond

Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
Have you tried it without the headphones?

Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but won't display content from itunes library on the apple tv section of remote app

What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen.
Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image. Any ideas? I know that the remote app is connecting to the apple TV because I can control it using gestures, just strange I can't see the content on the ipad like in the attached video clip, instead I see the screen in the image below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

Sort by year using Apple Remote App?

Is it possible to search albums by year using the Apple Remote App?
I can see album year on my Mac though.....

Add me to the frustrated list when it comes to Apple's insane logic for sorting. I want iTunes to allow me to sort by artist first, and by date second. But Apple won't let me.
I want to sort by a nearly infinite combination of settings, but apple tells me otherwise. It's got me on the hunt for a new music organizing database app for my music. If a good one comes along, iTunes will be relegated to the app that syncs my iPhone, and nothing else. ;-)

My Ipad Mini Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now it stops working.

The Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now when I first open on my ipad it will work but on subsequent tries it won’t connect and tells me that I have to turn on home sharing (Which is already turned on). This is using my ipad mini to connect to iTunes on Win 8.1
Very frustrating. I wish I hadn't downloaded the iTunes update!

Look at this similar post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3816868?start=15&tstart=0
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Ipad mini - remote app - poster art issue

The remote app for the ipad mini when browsing through movies does not recognize all the movie titles poster art, and instead of displaying the appropriate poster art, it displays another.
Example: 300 movie art does not show up, instead it shows Batman art. Blade Runner art does not show up, instead it shows Batman art. That one Batman art will replace all of the movies down the line that do not load their art...
Why does this do this? I've tried re-installing the application, re-adding all my movies on itunes, re-starting the app, everything I could think of.
I just wish apple would make the video app a one place stop, the set up is nicer, quicker, and works better. Make Video App that comes with general apps, the remote to apple tv to play from ipad to apple TV!
This is really a nit-picky thing, but when I had my ipad 3 w/retina, it did not have this issue, ipad 2 did not have this issue, only ipad mini... I love the mini too!! Fix this and you are a true warrior!
Thanks community!

8.1 did not sort the sort order for events in photos app

With 7000 photos in more than 300 events You must have them in alphabetic order as before in 7.1 The pictures are synced from iMac iPhoto. How to do a search. The events are not found by names

When I drag albums into the correct order in Photos for Mac, they show up in reverse order on the iOS devices. Thus there seems to be a bug in either iOS 8.3, OS 10.10.3 or iCloud Photo Library.
The browser version of iCloud Photo Library (icloud.com) is currently updating. I am waiting to see which way my albums are sorted there.
There is no promise at all, or documented anywhere, how sorting of library items will sync across the devices. This has been haphazard when syncing iPhoto Libraries - synced faces not sorted, synced events not sorted, etc. So it is at least a step in the right direction, in Photos that the albums are sorted at all.

Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into" my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad. But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music?
2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

Help needed to connect Canon 6D to iPad remote app

I have the iPad EOS remote app and a Canon 6D I cannot get them to communicate, on the 6D wi-fi set up screen the manual tells you to select wi-fi function then shows a screen with different graphics on it so you can select mobile phone etc, well I cannot get this screen when I select wi-fi function I get the choice of EXIT or CONFIRM, nothing else, no selection screen, what am I doing wrong?.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks, it appears that if you have a router nearby or the iPad is normally connected to a wireless network it confuses it so the best method is to go down the end of the garden or some other isolated place and it connects every time, problem solved

Remote app on iPhone 5S stopped working after iOS8 upgrade

I upgraded my iPhone 5S to iOS8 (and the subsequent updates too). I received the automatic update to the remote app. Since that time the remote app does not work. I have home sharing working on my Apple TV, MAC Pro and a Windows 8.1 PC. These devices are all connected to Home Sharing and it works fine. At this moment I am streaming music from my iTunes library on the Windows 8.1 PC on my Apple TV. A short time ago I was using Airplay with my MAC to watch an internet TV show. So all is well with Home Sharing. On the remote app I sign in to home sharing and it acknowledges that I am connected to home sharing. However, the next screen reads: "Turn On Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using xxxxxx". xxxxxx is replaced with my Apple ID. That's it. That's all I get. Cant get beyond that screen. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. I have logged into Home Sharing each time successfully and I ge the same screen. My Wi-FI is high speed AB and is working fine. Could use some help.

I have a similar issue with some different quirks... I have my PC (Windows 7) running off the wi-fi. My router is an Airport Extreme. I also have an Airport Express in my garage for my outdoor speakers. Both upstairs and downstairs TV's have Apple TV. The Apple TV's and the Airport extreme AND my iPhone 5s are all on the same wi-fi network.
I have the remote app on my iPhone and it always always always accesses either Apple TV without issue. BUT it doesn't usually find the iTunes library on my computer. And once I do get it connected it only holds for a while before losing it again. In order to have the remote app find it again, I have to go to the PC, turn off Home Sharing and then turn it back on again. My remote app then sees it again and I am back in business...for awhile.
I have been through every troubleshooting list on the internet and can't find a resolution to this. iTunes is the latest version, i'm running ios8 on my phone etc etc etc. The whole point of the Airport Express was to be able to access the iTunes library from the back yard. When it is working it works beautifully. When it drops...frustrating.
Anyone else have this situation? It's not that it won't connect...it's just that it only stays connected for short periods of time.

How do I enter 4 digit passcode in itunes using remote app

My Apple TV is out of sync with my iPhones and iPad. I was trying to add new phone with the remote app and turned off and back on home sharing trying to find where to enter that 4 digit passcode the app gives on each devioce when you select Add an iTunes Library. On older version of iTunes when you had the devices on the left you RT click and added 4 digit passcode. On the current version of iTunes I can not find where to do that at all. What am I missing? Running Windows 8 with current version of iTunes as of September 2013. I remember setting the passcode in old version just fine. Remote app is great and I want it working again! And yes everything network wise is working I was using it to start a movie using the iPad running remote app. While trying to get new phone working killed off all device remote access!

There is no passcode to enter.
Why do you believe that a passcode is needed?

ITunes no longer allowing use of remote app or recognizing remote speakers

Weird problem as all of this worked as of 24 hours ago. I am no longer able to share my music (either via the remote app or between two computers on the same local network) nor will iTunes recognize the existence of remote speakers (again, all worked fine as of yesterday).
I've made no changes to firewall, etc. I've confirmed the network is functioning, the Airport express is connected, all current versions, etc. Firewall allows incoming connections for iTunes. Further, i've tried:
1) Restarting iTunes, the iMac in question and the iPad
2) Using remote on two different devices
3) hard rebooting the airport connected to my stereo
4) reinstalling iTunes and remote
Home sharing is turned on however the iPad's remote app cannot find any libraries. When i try to add a library outside of home sharing, iTunes doesn't see any device trying to connect.
I'm well stumped. Anyone else finding this issue and are there any suggestions?

Same problem. I'm running itunes 10.1.2.17 under win 7.
Here's what I did to fix the problem. Basically you need to create a new exception in your firewall to allow itunes UDP communication.
control panel>system & security>Windows firewall.
Advanced settings>inbound rules
New Rule> Program > browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and pick itunes.exe
Allow the connection>next>next
Give it a name like iTunesUDP.
Now click on your new rule "iTunesUDP" and select properties.
Click the protocals and ports tab.
under protocal type select UDP.
That should do it.
Let me know if it worked for you.

TV Show Sorting on Remote App

I have my TV shows setup in iTunes with episode numbers and ID. On the Apple TV menu, it displays them from episode 1 at the top to the last episode of the season at the bottom. However, on the iPhone and iPad apps, it shows them in alphabetical order. Is there a way to fix this?

I had a similar problem with (say) episodes 1 to 10 shown in order in iTunes but as 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 then 1 to 5 in the remote app. Turned out that the 6 to 10 episodes had picked up some information in the Artist field and the app was sorting these first. I cleared that info out, re-synced and all is now OK.

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.
