Remote

Looks like it would be nice if it worked

By: Aviris

I enter the passcode in my iTunes library, then my Touch looks for awhile and then says can't find library. It can see it enough to get the passcode, but never again after that. I've reinstalled, deleted and re-added the library. No luck. Using a Santa Rosa Macbook Pro.

Really cool, and free!

This controls my Appletv! Really cool. It will only control iTunes content, however. I have not been able to use it to navigate YouTube or settings or anything like that. Still, it is pretty amazing, and a lot of fun for free!

Blissful

I am trying to figure out ways to get more sound in my house now because of this. Being able to control content anywhere I am roaming in the house is just amazing, and the set up was absolutely easy.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant (and about time...)

Exactly what was needed to complete appleTV and iPhone/Touch combination. Best app in the store

Greatly Improves the Apple TV Experience

By: Citizen Kang

I love my Apple TV but with a large library it can get a bit unwieldy to navigate to what you're looking for. This is the perfect compliment to the Apple TV. It makes finding a song, movie, etc. much simpler and the search function is a much welcomed addition.

This is just great!

By: Island Dog

It works flawlessly with iTunes and it's just a very cool addition. Makes me want to go buy an Apple TV now.

Great App!

By: deltaromeo

Works great on Windows and Mac. And it's free!

Doesn't work for me

By: Sangoma63

Looks like a great idea but it plain doesn't work on my setup. Nothing unusual in this setup- a recent iMac and a new iTouch. iTunes asks for the 4 digit code that the iTouch is displaying, but when I type it in, after AGES of 'verifying passcode', iTunes returns a message that the passcode I entered is incorrect. It isn't. My firewall is correctly set. Looks like there are some bugs to sort out, but I am still looking forward to a release-ready version of the software based on the reviews of those it works for!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS

it works if you have a mac.. i have a pc and it does not work..

Almost perfect.

By: Ookseer

If only it had the option of pausing the music when my phone rings (like the built in player) it would be perfect.

Sounds good, doesn't work

By: kkoshkin

If this app worked like it should, it would get five stars. I tried to add my library to the list, and all it did was look for it, never with any success. So I deleted and reinstalled the app, and now I can't even get to the "looking-but-unable-to-discover" stage because it keeps telling me that my 4-digit passkey is incorrect. Essentially, this thing is worthless and nothing more than a frustration.

I've found a snag....

By: barry99705

My apple tv doesn't have any of my media on it. I have a G5 tower with a crap-ton of drive space running as our "iTunes server". The remote app doesn't see shared libraries. I don't know if this can be fixed or not, but we have waaaaay more tv shows and movies that any currently shipping apple tv has hard drive space. My apple tv is one of the few computer devices I still haven't modded, and would really like to keep it that way, so adding a bigger drive is out of the question, unless you guys would let us add external usb drives.

Does not work

By: asanfilippo

I downloaded and tried several times and couldn't get it to work. I turned my firewall off, still didn't work. Running Vista. No Support!!!!!!

Works like magic!

By: joe1059

Awesome app for controlling all iTunes libraries in the house. Apple, like always, has done it again. The best app to the new app store on launch day!

Where's the library?

By: maj41

Easy setup, but it can't seem to find my music library.

Very Easy To use! great app!

By: Ann3Mari3M1989

Ok. this app works great for me! I love it. very easy to use

Cannot get it to work

By: metv23

iTunes can't find the remote

Excellent!

By: Ray1229

This application is amazing! It controls itunes via an iPhone or an iPod touch as if you were controlling the playback on your ipod normally! I was surprised to find out that changes occur instantaneously, including volume adjustment! It works an airtunes speaker just as well. This is an essential application, and the best thing about it is it's price!

Remote

By: jaro360

The remote will not work with my macbook or macbook pro. This is a serious problem that many others are having. It always pops up and says cannot find library. However, it dose work with my mac mini. Needs work!!

How does it work

By: unixkid2001

I download the app and I cant get it to work. It said add library and I cant even get the app to promt me for the device number

Wow

By: futurekill

I've been looking forward to this app since the App store was first announced. I wasn't sure who was going to make it first but I'm glad it was Apple. It's done really well. You can do everything from playing music (chaning * ratings happens in real time on your computer) to switching which speakers to output to. Absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work.

I finally got it to work!!!

For those having trouble getting "REMOTE" to work, try this.

"Works" is not entirely accurate

By: iffonnnly

All the reviews make it sound great and it looks great in theory, but it doesn't work for everyone apparently. The support articles are useless for fixing whatever is causing this not to work for me. Same wi-fi network - check; system requirements - check. Operational - NO. Apple needs to post some more detailed troubleshooting articles. Clearly the set up is more complicated than simply downloading and installing. The app is free, the 6+ hours I have spent trying to investigate the reason it doesn't work is frustrating. Trying to blindly reconfigure firewall settings and resetting routers is a little beyond the average user. Especially without any useful technical assistance.

Very cool use of iPhone "iPod" persona as remote control

By: TuCats

Very clever! This appears to re-use a lot of the interface already worked out to support the iPod features of an iPhone or iPod touch, but modified to remotely control an instance of iTunes in your local network. The controls are obvious and intuitive because they are the same controls you're already used to with your iPhone.

Works great after you fix your firewall

By: Jim Garrigues

If iTunes lets you enter the passcode, but then seems to go dumb and won't let your iphone/ipod connect, change your Mac/PC firewall to allow incoming connections for iTunes. On a Mac: from the  menu select System Preferences/Security/Firewall then pick "Set access for specific services and applications". Then click the "+" and find/select iTunes in your Applications folder and click "Add". Then make sure the setting next to iTunes says "Allow incoming connections"
