![]() ![]() Anyone at the party can join your Wi-Fi network and then open their copy of the Remote app. So imagine that you’re having a party and you’re playing music in iTunes from your Mac or PC through your stereo or Airtunes connected speakers. You don’t even have to be in the same room as your computer.Īnother feature that was added to the Remote app is the ability to allow any iPhone or iPod touch on your Wi-Fi network to give input by voting for songs that should be played next. Also since it’s a Wi-Fi based app, it doesn’t require line of sight. If you have multiple Airtunes speakers, you can even control which ones (rooms) will play the music. You pair your iPhone/iPod touch’s Remote app with your copy of iTunes and from that point on you can see all of your playlists, songs, movies, etc. The main reason behind the Remote app is to give you a Wi-Fi remote to control your computer running iTunes. Not just for Apple TVs, It’s all about iTunes This feature also requires the iPhone OS 3.0 update on your iPhone or iPod touch. You’ll need to run the latest software update (2.4) on your Apple TV before you’ll see the new interface. Since you have access to the menu, you can really do everything that you would do with the supplied remote. You can use your finger to swipe left, right, up and down to navigate the menus. However, 1.3 now brings multi-touch to the Apple TV. There has been Apple TV support for a while, but the support had been limited to just choosing content to play and using your iPhone’s keyboard to key in text when prompted to for things like passwords and searches. With the 1.3 update you can now completely control your Apple TV. Over time it’s had updates to make it better, however Apple just updated it to version 1.3 this week. The Apple Remote app has been one of my favorites since it shipped last year when iPhone 2.0 came out. I can’t help but talk about this app! It’s so cool. ![]()
