![]() Using the WiFi built into the iPhone and iPod Touch is a natural for this, and it’s much more convenient than using the (let’s face it) fairly inadequate Apple Remote. It’s pretty typical Apple to offer a few unannounced features on major operating system upgrades, but this one is incredibly welcome. So, the Volume Up and Down buttons on the Siri Remote mimic the corresponding keys on a Mac's keyboard. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home - a free download from the App Store. The app translates button presses on the Siri Remote to equivalent key presses on your Mac. ![]() Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. MacRumors claims that the Read Me file for a developer release of the imminent iTunes 7.7 will finally make this dream real (well, provided you have a computer hooked to your stereo): Do one of the following: If it’s your first time using iTunes Remote: Tap Connect Manually. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, open the Remote app. I could point it at a set of speakers, scroll through my music library, press the center button, and - BOOM! - music would pour forth.īesides a few experiments with an iTrip, however, this has been wishful thinking. iTunes Remote is the best way to control Apple Music, iTunes, or the Apple TV app from anywhere in your home. Pair iTunes Remote with your media library. Given the above, we would recommend two things if you run a media server: either stay on 10.14 Mojave or update to 10.15 Catalina and then install the latest iTunes with this trick – then everything stays together, you only need to control one media library in the remote app and podcasts can also be remote controlled.Since I first got an iPod, way back when Discmen roamed the earth, my fondest wish has been that I could use it as a quasi-remote control for my stereo. Remote control is no longer possible.īut there is at least an optical distinction of media libraries under 10.14 and 10.15: the corresponding logos correspond to those of the operating system versions. In addition, the remote control for the third part of the iTunes split podcast is completely omitted. However, it is no longer listed here, even if you have set up the AppleTV media library correctly. But watch out: here you can also find the categories TV and Movies. For music you choose the music media library. Launch the Screen Sharing app on the Mac you want to work from. For movies and series you logically go to the AppleTV media library. ![]() Most important difference to before: Media libraries for music and movies (AppleTV) are now listed separately. Pair iTunes Remote with your Home Sharing network. Just pair the iPhone or iPod touch with the mini’s copy of iTunes, and you can control. The Apple TV app pairs the library on your computer with the iTunes Remote app on your device. Apple’s free Remote ( ) application is a great way to play media stored in the mini’s iTunes library. At least Apple managed to fix the app after a few weeks – it was not able to control music and AppleTV on a Catalina Mac. In the Apple TV app on your Mac, click the Remote button under Devices in the sidebar, then type the 4-digit code. This app is still called iTunes Remote, although this program doesn’t exist anymore under macOS Catalina. If you want to control a Mac remotely to play music, for example, you can do this again with the app for iOS.
