ipod to macbook

Mac Forum possibly might be the place to ask this???

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, it's just that there seem to be a few mac users in here.

My error

Download the latest '2' software for ipod touch and then the apple remote app both available from the itunes store.

Follow the instructions.

You need a wireless router in the mix somewhere.

How remote is remote?

If you mean in the same house then yes you can if you have a wireless network. Simplest option is to get the Remote app from the iTunes store.

good question - remote does mean in the same house

Yes, it is possible and pretty cool too. Here's a youtube video showing it in use:

Thanks Lefty, very helpful. I am just trying ti figure out how to connect the itouch directly to the macbook, rather that via a seoerate wireless connection ( using airport ???)

Thanks again

Barrie

You can't connect directly to use the Remote app. You have to go through a wireless router that both the iTouch and the macbook are connected to.

Thanks Napster I will dig out my Aiport

I was having great success with just an AE as both my router and music-server comms thingy. It's a really neat little box. (I've since added a Time Capsule to hold my music files and as easy back-up for everything else).

"Remote" is a great app. Very clever.

Thanks for all the help folks, it is now up and running, much obliged
