Why not leave remote app for 4.2.1?

Hi there, with my family i own 3 ipod touches, 3 shuffles, and two iphones. I own two houses where i have set up a central computer to run itunes with airport expresses all over my houses to control speakers and music through the "remote" app. I am heavily invested in apple products and apps. My use of apple technology for our media enjoyment is truly great and never ceases to amaze guests. I LOVE "remote" and airport.
Since i have had to restore all my ipods for various reasons, i am now no longer able to download the remote app since apple only supports iOS 5 or later. They have instantly rendered my whole apple setup useless. This is extremely disapointing and they are basically telling me that my purchase of their hardware was a mistake and that they only care about people who purchase new things. Which is a great reason not to purchase new things from them.
What i don't understand is why they simply can't put a version of remote in the app store for iOS 4.2.1. You obviously have it, so why not just put it there?????
So little effort to leave 4.2.1 apps in the store. They could even create a special section based on iOS.
Now they are forcing me to consider alternative solutions, of which there are many. I simply would never have bothered to do this before since i was so satisfied with apple products. They are literally forcing me to look at alternatives and this is a failure on their part from a business and marketing perspective.
Now i will most likely go from an evangelizer of apple products to a hater. It is simply disrespectful how theyare treating people with old products...

Interesting. It really boggles me why they would do this. Seems it would be easy to seperate the app store into pre and post 4.3?
The devices i have work perfectly fine and do everything i need them to. I don't want to buy new devices. It is an awful stance to take and i find it very insulting. Is this not a big issue with users out there? Or is everyone just buying new stuff all the time?

Music does not play on Iphone when using the Remote app for Itunes , is this normall.

Hi all,
I am using the remote App for ITunes on my IPhone 5,I can get the phone to operate
ITunes perfectly but there is no audio coming from the phone, I am having a party and I
want to play the same playlist throughout the house without having it up at full volume.
I was hoping to leave the laptop downstairs and plug the IPhone into a stereo upstairs.
If this is normal ...........
Is it possible to load the playlist on to 2 computers , and have them playing the same music
simultaneously.
Any suggestions please

Why apple does not provide the apps for free as samsung doing ??

why apple does not provide the apps for free as samsung doing ??

how the same app is for buy and in the other hand in android OS its free
Free Android apps are generally stuffed full of adverts that drain 75% of the phone battery. See:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/android-app-ads-account-for-up-to-75-percent- of-battery-drain/19168
Would you prefer to pay $0.99 for an app or lose 75% of your battery life?

Eos remote app for iOS

The idea was great, however the development seems to be stopped on this.
It hasn't been updated since Dec of last year.
Will there be a new version of EOS Remote app for iOS?
Features I'd like to see from the upgrade (if there's any)
1) Full size image transfer
2) Video file transfer
3) Indicate if a file is already downloaded to the phone or not.
Thanks,

Hi rmpark!
Thanks for posting.
The EOS Remote App currently works with up to iOS version 7. I am not sure if or when the next version of the app will be released, or what features will be added to it, but I have forwarded your suggestions along. This feedback is very important to Canon. Please continue to check in the app store from time to time for any updated versions that may be released.

TS1741 I cannot get the remote app for Apple tv work on either my iPad or iPhone. Home sharing is "on". Any ideas?

Why won' remote app for Apple tv work on my iPad or iPhone? Home sharing is turned on.

A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port
Type
Protocol

80
TCP
HTTP
AirPlay

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them

HT5958 Why not leave the choice to let the media files in their place in the update ?

Why not leave the choice to let the media files in their place (in the Final Cut Events folder for exemple) in the update?
All my media files are missing for other software (like Motion) and we loose the control of our raw footage.
This would have the dual space on our hard drives to protect our original files separately.

Ok i find a part of the solution. I can Open the Package on the library in the Finder. I have everything inside. So it's good for me to keep the hand on all my medias. But others software can't open it, it's hidden (for Motion or DaVinci Resolve for exemple). I must search all neccesary files on Finder, duplicate on a normal folder to use it.
Thanks for the response.

Can't set up FiOS Mobile Remote app for iPad

I was able to register the FiOS Mobile Remote app for iPad with my login and password but I'm not able to set it up.
I follow the instructions to
click Menu
click Widgets
click FiOS Mobile Remote
I get the following error message:

Unable to process your request at this time.
Please try again.
If the broblem continues, please try restarting your Set-Top Box
I've turned off the power to the cable twice but still get the same message.
How can I get the app working?

I installed my new DVRs last night and tried to reactive the Mobile Remote app, but got the same error. I wonder if they're having issue with the app (so it's probably not just you).

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple TV products and not with my Netflix app-the Home TV icon only shows with Apple products.
I had hoped that I could use my Laptop Pro for unrelated tasks while I watch a movie-I have chosen TV only on the drop down. I dont seem to be able to seperate the two

The movies do not download onto apple TV it shows them as purchased and you need to stream them down. If you want to show your purchased music on Apple TV you need to sign up for iTunes Match.
There seem to be a few glitches with iTunes Match so i just use the computer icon to listen to music on my computer through Apple TV. If you have your Movies and TV shows on your computer this is where you will find them.
The Movies and TV Shows buttons on the main page of Apple TV show you films and tv shows you have purcahsed or cen rent or purchase.
You can also sync your Photos over as well. Method is slightly different in that in iTunes on the computer
File > HomeSharing > Choose photos to share with Apple TV

Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app. Only thing that shows on iP screen is music library. Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.

Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app as I used to do before the update. Only thing that shows on iPhone screen is music library. Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated. Sorry if this is not exactly the right place to post this!

One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet. The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing. Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues. Purely Home Sharing.

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
mac mini Mac OS X (10.6.3)

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.

I have itunes version 8.2 and would like to avoid downloading a newer version. The iTunes Store will not leave the page for iTunes 10. How do I fix this?

The iTunes store will not leave the page for downloading iTunes 10. I just deleted iTunes 10 because of errors to purposely go back to version 8.2. Now I would like to keep 8.2 and not upgrade. How do I get this page to go away, or just keep 8.2? I would like to only have a version before 9.0. Please help!

Why not leave the protective seal that comes with the nano.

Why not leave that screen protector type thing on like I did and cut the little tab off with a exacto knife, works great, I ordered a Icondom and Im going to put one on the back of my ipod.

Excellent advice until folks can get a real case or skins!
This won't protect the back chrome, but I spend less time staring at the back of my nano

Apple, why not an in-app purchase for iPhone OS?

How many people bought an iPhone3G last year and now likes to have some new software-features that are active only for the new iPhone3G-S, but thinks that his iPhone already works well and isn't the moment for spend more money for the new iPhone and his new features?
Why not to make an in-app purchase for iPhoneOS?
Video recording for example... 4,99§ / 9,99§ for software extention?
I think it will be a good idea..
