I agree with Dan. This is a terrific application and God-send for AppleTV owners. I was beginning to feel is was easier to thumb through my 900 CDs, pick one and play it in the CD player faster than finding it on AppleTV.

NOW it works like it's supposed to. I love sitting on my back deck and using the iPhone to change songs and playlists from the AppleTV that's in the Living Room playing through my remote speakers on the deck.

VERY cool.

I love the new Remote application. However, although I can adjust volume on my MBP, I still must use my receiver remote to control the volume through my remote speakers.

I've tried activating both Computer and remote Air Tunes speakers, as well as individually with the same results.

I am using a 1st generation Airport Express (802.11g) Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro (802.11g) and a Time Capsule (802.11g/n) as my base station

Anyone else running into this problem?

Works like a charm on my Apple TV. I can see some feature additions that I would appreciate in an update (like navigating the ATV menu itself). This would allow access to podcasts on the device that are not in the library (similar to what Dan Frakes notes in the article).

Still, Remote instantly improves the value of my Apple TV.

Finally, the cool factor is pretty off the charts. I can't wait until friends are over and I start controlling the TV via phone from another room.

Your phone should appear under Devices in the iTunes source list. Click on it, and you can enter the code.

As I said, I wasn't able to get it to verify the passcode. This was on my MacBook Pro. I tried it this morning on my Mac Pro, and it worked right away. Then I tried the MBP again... and it worked! So I have no idea what the problem was.

Go to system preferences, security and in the "Firewall" tab, you have three choices. "Allow all incoming connections", "Allow only essential services", "Set access for specific services and applications".
I had mine set on "essential services" setting so I clicked on "specific services and applications", click on plus button below empty white box, then I added iTunes. This immediately fixed my "cannot find ______playlist" problem
Check and see if this helps....not even Apple bothers to tell you about this in their Support sections
Good Luck!

The next cool step would be if Apple added the ability to stream any audio and (especially) video content to the iPhone or iPod Touch via your WiFi connection. Think of how great it would be to view or listen to any of your iTunes content anywhere around the house without having to sync it to your handheld device first.

I have tried everything and just cannot get Remote to work with my Apple TV's shared library.

My OS X firewall is set to allow all incoming connections.
The Remote app is successfully paired with the Apple TV.

The funny thing is that when I use the white Apple remote and start a movie playing on my Apple TV, the artwork and controls for that movie pop up on my iPhone. When I use the iPhone to switch to a different movie, it says there are no movies.

The Remote app works great if I connect it directly to my iMac that I'm sharing the library from, and it's using the same wireless network as the Apple TV.

I can't understand why everything works when I connect Remote app to my iMac but not my Apple TV. If it didn't work on my iMac, then I would say the problem is with my router. But here, it seems to be the Apple TV. But there aren't any settings on my Apple TV to change. I also connected it to the router via ethernet and that didn't help.
