Using As A Remote To Control External Music Library?

Apr 9, 2011

Lets paint the picture:

* Upstairs we have our home stereo system (older receiver ((made by Rotel)), speakers, CD player). * Downstairs we have a Mac Pro with several hard drives and an Apple Airport Extreme to handle the Wifi for the house. * Also upstairs we have two Apple laptops and a brand new iPad 2.

Question: is there a way to put our music archive on a hard drive, connect it to the stereo system and have the iPad remotely control the music through the air? I think we need an Airport Express connected to the drive and the stereo? But I am not sure if its that simple or not?

What do we need here? Or is this even possible? I would love the iPad to be a virtual jukebox to control all our ripped CD collection etc...

Enable An External (non Apple) Remote Control On IPad 2?

Apr 22, 2012

I have a marantz na7004 digital receiver. When you plug in an IPod classic via USB , it allows remote control of the apple product either on the iPad itself or on the screen of the Marantz. My IPad 2 does not allow the same functionality and does not recognise the Marantz remote at all.

My Office Network manager says the easiest way is to change the IP and DNS on the device you are streaming too and reconnect manually with DHCP off?

Info:
iPad 2

Dec 6, 2010

I am unable to remote my iTunes library from my iPad. My laptop is a windows base system. It has Win7 and my iTune's library is sharing.On my iPad, once the Remote app is launched, it does show and icon for my library on my lap top but when I click on it, I always receive the message that can't connect to library. I have turned off my firewall (at my computer), I opened the ports for TCP & UDP on my router as specified on the help/support page but no dice.

Get Music From IPhone To MobileMe / Streaming Videos From External HDD / Setting External Storage Accessible

Aug 13, 2010

So as my signature says I used to be the owner of a Unibody MacBook 2.4 Ghz decked out with 4Gb RAM and Moshi Palmguard/Clearguard.

My first Mac, got it first day they came out in October 2008. Best computer I ever had, and almost 2 years later was still going strong! Never had ONE issue with it.

So last weekend it got stolen from my house (I work for a university and live in a staff house on campus). I almost NEVER leave my MacBook at home, but last weekend I had to leave town in a hurry with the girlfriend and decided to just leave it at my house. Little did I know that it was going to be the last time I ever saw it ;(. Somebody broke into my house and that was the only thing they stole.

So since then ive been weighing my options. Yesterday I went and purchased an iPad for work and am trying to see if I can survive without a MacBook.

I have a PC at the office and an iPhone 4. So I decided to give the ipad a try in order to see if it can replace my MacBook for the most basic functions.

Here are my concerns:

- getting my music off my iPhone to MobileMe so I can stream it from my PC to my iPhone an iPad.

- streaming videos from my external HDD to my iPad

- setting up some external storage accessible from the iPad

What do you guys think? Am I crazy for even trying this?

What are your suggestions for apps that could fill my needs?

BTW I am loving the iPad. It's such a great complement to my iPhone. Love the size of the screen and ease of use. It makes me think that an ideal setup would be an iPad, iPhone and Mac mini hooked up to tv. ?? Needless to say this was typed from my iPad

Use As A Remote Control For The Laptop

Aug 22, 2010

Just bought an iPad. No one at the Apple store knew how to use it so I'm stuck. I bought this to use as a remote control for the laptop. I installed iTeleport as recommended. I'm able to sort of connect with the network that has internet access but this method has so much lag that it flat out doesn't work for me. Can someone please outline the steps required to connect to the ipad using the Macbook Pro as a private network host (there will be no internet connection allowed so no using the gmail account)?

Information:
dual 2.7 G5 (8G RAM); 2.6GHz MBP (4G RAM, 48G SSD 500G HD); 1GHz TiBook (1G RAM)
Mac OS X (10.6.3)
Water cooled G5s rule!
