Apple updates Remote app for iPhone, adds Genius functionality

A huge feature of this update which i've not seen advertised: It now supports WOL for turning on PC's or Mac's which are registered.

If my windows PC is off and i open the app which is registered to iTunes on that windows PC - it'll turn on and boot up :)

Apple fan boys are funny...

this is a great app that people will one day use, but one fault is that it does not come with a manual on other apps that may interrupt it.

The update I want to see if a "Remote" application that actually works as a system wide "Remote" e.g. Front Row, iTunes, Quicktime, ect. You know, since my shiny new MacBook Pro just couldn't come with a $9 Apple Remote.

In case anyone else has missed it, AirTunes speaker selection has moved from the Settings screen to the Now Playing screen. Just single-tap the album art to reveal "Speakers" at the bottom of the artwork. This threw me off for awhile. Also, sometimes it won't notice the remote speakers until you actually select them from iTunes on your computer.

Does anyone know if this version will let me control shared libraries from the iphone. This is one feature that I would love to have.

Does anyone know how to get the remote application to work through a zone alarms firewall? I've had issues for aaaaages with this. Read numerous forums and apple discussions but can't seem to get it to work. Got it going once or twice when disabling the firewall but very inconsistent to say the least! Any ideas?

Yeah I cannot wait for it to work on the AppleTV as that is where my wife and I listen to our music the most. However, you can tap into your iTunes library that you sync with, create your list. Then it will sync the list over to the AppleTV. However unlike making the change local where when you create a list it will go over right away if AppleTV is not busy, if done via the remote, it won't until you go to your computer to force a sync. That part sucks. So I can only hope an update for the AppleTV will come soon.

Is there a similar app if I want to remote control from another computer, e.g. an Asus EEE or my MacBook?

What would be really cool would be if you could run this on a mac. I have an itunes laptop hooked up to my stereo, and do work in other rooms with my work laptop. Instead of having to whip out the iphone or ipod touch, it would be great to just have this remote interface on my laptop. Any way to run "remote" on a macintosh proper?

another question for the hive mind, how do I change my profile name, it's lame, and I really have no idea how it got set that way to begin with. Thanks!
