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.

  • TS1741 I have two apple TV's and they both show in the remote App but I have to inplug to get them to respond. Both of them.

    I have installed a second Apple TV.  Both show in my remote App.  But both will not wake up or connect unless I reboot them.  Then they work fine until the next day.  They both are doing this.  I had no problems until I installed the second.  Could that be an issue?  I'm just tired of restarting them every time.

  • Apple TV not showing up in remote app

    Hi,
    My remote app was working just fine, however it has suddenly stopped working with Apple TV. Home Sharing is on, disabled it and re-enabled it with no success. Thought it might be my network, but Airport express is showing up fine in Airplay. please help people. thanks.
    Btw, apple tv is fully updated

    different user-
    same problem.  cannot get it fixed.
    2 apple TVs, same network, all updated and phone iOS updated as well.  1 of them refuses to show up.  it used to work, but for some reason spontaneously quit.
    i'd prefer not to have to reboot an apple TV every time I want to use it.  that's just silly.

  • 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

  • Remote app shows 'album artist' instead of 'artist'...

    for a normal cd, i have stored the 'artist' name in the 'artist' field and also in the 'album-artist' field.
    for a compilation cd, i have stored the 'artist' of a song in the 'artist field'. the 'album-artist' field contains the information 'various artists'.
    having done this, remote app 3 shows
    the 'album artist' field in the normal list of songs, this means i see 'various artists' instead of the name of the artist (see 1)
    in the 'next up' list the information for the same song is shown correctly (see 2)
    it seems to me that there is something wrong.
    or i misunderstand the meaning of the 'artist album' field.
    i do hope, somebody can explain it to me, or apple sees the error and fixes it.
    greez.

    i found the solution in the german macuser forum.
    obviously i had tagged my mp3 not to the recommended standard.
    if you have a compilation, the albumartist field MUST be blank, instead you can mark it as a compilation.
    this solved my problem.

  • Remote app shows "album artist" after recent update

    In January I updated iTunes 9...  to  iTunes 10.5.2. The new database shows "artist" same as before.
    Then I had to update the remote app on my iPod touch. Now comes the trouble:
    instead of showing "artist" as before in older version of remote app, it shows "album artist"
    which effectively destroys the organisation principle of all my music file collection (roughly 600 CD).
    I am afraid that changing artist and album artist by rewriting all ID tags will not be helpful,
    because then the corresponding iTunes database on my mac will show these fields in wrong order.
    Do we have any hope for getting fixed this bug in remote app ?
    How to deal with this mess of a situation ?

    remote app 2.2 was showing 'artist information' in the 'artist field'.
    with the release 2.3 the problem with the 'artist field', showing 'album artist information' started, and with the latest version 2.4 this error still exists!
    it would be really nice if someone can tell us if this is an error (as i suppose) and will be fixed, or if this is right and why this was done.
    maybe some apple people can answer....
    thanks.

  • Remote app on my ipad only show iTunes interface...

    I was having problems getting me iPad Remote app to work with my Apple TV 1.  So I deleted then re-added it to my iPad.
    It did find my Apple TV 1 and sync, but now it only shows an itunes interface and there seems to be no way to use it
    as a remote? Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Remote app on iPad2 not showing iTunes interface on ATV2 shared library

    I have an AppleTV 2 that's sharing an iTunes library via home sharing over Ethernet from a Mac Mini. Running Remote App on my iPhone 5S, I can control that library as expected. Running Remote App on my iPad2, however, I'm unable to see the main iTunes-like interface that lists songs, albums, artists, etc. on the shared library. While I can see the currently playing song at the top of the screen and have access to the Back, Pause, and Forward buttons, the main pane below that only shows the icons for Home Sharing and Using Gestures. Under Home Sharing, where it says "Tap the Apple TV button in the bottom left...," there's not Apple TV button, only "Devices." I can use the gestures interface in Remote App on the iPad2 to control playback, but I never see the main library interface. Any thoughts you have for remedying this would be really appreciated!

    Well the response I got to the above post was outstanding!
    Shall we put this in the bracket along with "If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
    If anyone is wondering, for my party I ended up using my Mac as the server for the iTunes DJ. And I discovered that if more than 5-7 people try to get onto it, it crashes the whole system and the music stops. Glorious.

  • Remote app for iPad Wont show songs but iPhone Will

    Hi All
    I have a Strange problem with airport Express and airtunes
    From my iPad 4.2.1 running Remote app for iPad if i search for an artist, like Gary Moore, it shows the artist name, but when i Press the name it doesnt display the songs with this artist, it says no songs found.
    But if i use the same app on both my iPhone 4 and my iPod touch, and do the same search and Press the artist name, it shows All the songs that i have with this artist
    Both the iPad and the iPhone connects to the same airtunes library, on the same machine with iTunes 10.1?
    Does anybody have any ideas of what is wrong
    I have tried to reinstall the app on the iPad, but that diednt work, i have tried to delete the library on the iPad with no luck
    Aby help would be apreciated
    Sincerely
    Carsten Larsen

    I know this is an old question, but I had the same problem and found the solution somewhere else and thought I'd post it here as this thread comes up when googling for the answer.
    It appears as though any songs without an "Album" don't appear. In iTunes select all songs without an album, right click and select "Get Info" and give them an Album name (e.g. "Unknown" or "Singles"). This might also apply to songs without other tags.

  • Remote App won't list songs when sorted by artist

    I'm using the Remote App to control my iTunes running on my PC with Windows XP, it mostly runs fantastic and I love it!  One small and annoying problem though, when I search my library by artist and select an artist, it won't list any songs.  I am also using the remote app on my iPhone for the same iTunes library and have no problems at all!  I thought it may have been an issue with my ID3 tags, however seeing as it is working with my iPhone I'm not sure what the issue could be?????  I love the Remote App and it has made my home audio system fantastic, if only I could sort this small issue!  Any ideas???? Thanks.

    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
    if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
    Also if the tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

    The situation is as following. All servers are Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.
    We have clustered 2 virtual servers FP001 and FP002, for now FP001 is running all services:
    Connection Broker, MSDTC, Fileserver, Printserver, SQL Server. 
    For the Remote Apps: Apps were made on TS001 and TS002, both these servers are added to a tsfarm on the Connection Broker. A virtual IP was made on the firewall linked to a failover between the two Terminal Servers. This IP was linked to DNS name: tsfarm.contoso.local.
    I have checked WMI en COM+ security settings but they all seem fine, nothing changed. I have restarted both Terminal Servers but no effect. Restarting FP001 and FP002 had no effect either. 
    Any assistance is welcome!

    I finally got it to work by going to the WebAccess website, then configuration and changing the source from Connection Broker cb001.contoso.local to Remote App Source tsfarm.contoso.local. 
    However this is not how it should be done I suppose.. Any idea why linking the farm works but linking the connection broker were the farm has been set as source does not?

  • 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. ;-)

  • ATV doesn't show iTunes playlists and doesn't play them using the Remote app

    Hello
    Using ATV3 with the latest software version and it is connected to the iTunes library (also latest version) on my Mac Mini.
    When I go to Computers on the ATV I can see the content of the iTunes and am able to play both Music and Vidoes however I don't see the playlists on iTunes there. On the ATV configuration it is configured to Show playlists -> All but still no Playlists appearing at the top of my movie and TV show listings section.
    When I connect to the ATV using the Remote app on the iPhone and go to Computers there I do see the playlists but unable to play the ones with Vidoes just music.
    Any ideas what would cause these problems...?

    log into my library through more > computers where? on the Remote? This is exactly what i'm doing, I can see the content of my library there but I can't play movies from there.
