You guys need to team up with www.orb.com

I want to use my iPhone as a remote control for my Powerbook G4 (now running the stereo, having been replaced in regular use by a MacBook? Pro) so badly that I can taste it. I'm starting, literally, now.

(Best to reach me as gr AT eclipsed DOT net rather than the gmail address; I don't really check this regularly for email, just log into Google apps.)

Comment by rosenkoetter, Jul 13, 2007

Well, that's cute. Google spewed an error on those posts, but made them anyway. Deleting the dupe, apologies.

I would like to write up the documentation/user manual for this app.

Any chance you can make the port number configurable since I it is easier ( for me ) to get port 80 through a firewall that I do not own. For example, I can use a public address 216.17.xxx.yyy:80 and at my end point to a private address my Mac is on and also modify the port number or leave it the same. 216.17.xxx.yyy:80 will get through most firewalls that I might be behind when I travel.

I found errors with the iTunes scripts that started with "tell application "System Events"..." If you just remove that part of the script so it is reduced to, tell application "iTunes" to previous track, it works much better.

Comment by classicdan, Jul 19, 2007

It was working great 2 days ago, now "Safari can't open the page because it could not connect to the server". My web still works on the iPhone, so what's up?

Comment by peteslavich, Jul 20, 2007

Interested in helping make a nice itunes browser/controller. is this being worked on yet? how do i help?

Comment by jeffrey.kiok, Jul 23, 2007

I think an interesting feature would be to be able to use the iPhone as a microphone.

That way, if your mac was connected to a set of external speakers, you could connect using iPhone Remote, speak into your iPhone using the Mic app, or whatever it's called, and then output the mac's input through the output.

Dunno if your SVN is open or not, but seriously, just change:

<script src="/js/hidelocation.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" /> to <script src="js/hidelocation.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

so that the peasants without iPhones can use it on other devices! Thanks!

I was able to vew all files, movies and listen to music through my IP, When I forwarded the port and acessesed through my routers IP (so I can acess files away from home) I noticed that I can acess all files accept for video and audio i get a message that read (safari can not connect to server" again this only happens when i access through the outside (not within my router) does anyone else have this problem? any suggestions?

Comment by doudouleroux, Sep 24, 2007

For security issue you should create a certificate for the Iphone that you deploy on the Iphone. Then you require this certificate with Apache. If you need help for that king of thing I'd be more than happy to. You guys did a great job so far

Is there a possibility to also include a remote for a PS3 VIA BT/WiFi?, instead of purchusing a BT remote to use?

i think a iPhone as a remote to a PS3 is the icing on the cake..

imagine: via Remote play - You can on the iPhone see what tune is playing, or video, and shift/shuffle without actually beeing close to the PS3.

Or, as a remote to DVD/BD playback / use of other streaming software.

Well, i Hope you will include the PS3 in your future plans atleast.

Comment by Moahiek, Oct 03, 2007

FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT TO SERVER i've finally found the solution. Besides forwarding the port you have to set your mac firewall settings too.

Goto firewall settings in system preferences then add a new firewall exception by clicking "New..." and fill in the blanks

Comment by thomas.phan, Oct 04, 2007

i can connect to the app thru my macbook but when i try it on my iphone safari... i takes forever to load... doesnt load at all. what am i doing wrong? it used to work!

Comment by plove.tdot, Oct 06, 2007

I think it would be fantastic if there was a seamless way to use Airtunes(Streaming music from iTunes to an Airport Express) on the iPhone. Enough said!

Comment by jonserr, Oct 10, 2007

Great job Guys! I want to help out. i write applescripts , i'm a noobi in AppleScripts? Studio and have more than five years experience in Photoshop. i uploaded scripts for UniRemote?/EyeTV interface. spoke to neil said he will roll them over to Uniremote. I'm also working on an applescript(or automator whatever is easier).. for your mac to speak whatever is the content of an email with an assigned subject. or a pop window for text field and the script checks to the interval your set to and says it.

cheers

Comment by jonserr, Oct 12, 2007

I tried the idea of activating iPhone Remote and turning ON "media share" with applescripts via mail. where can i post the script? just in case someone else wants to try it. I also tried accessing my media out of network and.. abrakadabra it's awesome man. songs/mp3s start after a couple of seconds, movies, it depends on the size of the file an episode of weeds started after a 30sec/minute. my question is what is the security flaw? if it ask for a user/password certificate.(im missing something here? innit)

cheers

Comment by PenguinPsycho90, Oct 17, 2007

Suggestion: Make the iPhone Remote application run in the menu bar at the top, rather than the dock.

Awesome app, great progress!!

Thanks Guys

Comment by ncprius2, Oct 23, 2007

A full security review by Someone Who Knows...

Some nightmare scenarios to ponder...

For sure, do NOT disable the SSL. And during iPhone-Remote setup, pick an unique uncrackable password different from your usual password, as suggested. If you did not, goto Preferences and click on "Change Password" asap.

If the rest of this post is geek-talk to you, then simply make sure you quit iPhone-Remote when you don't need it. You really can not be safe enough, especially if you have any senstive info on you computer.

If someone knows or guesses the username, will it reject a brute-force password-cracking attempt? Any logs to show attempts? Sure it's a long shot, but if the bad guys get in, or any remote-attack vulnerabilities become known, they own your box.

The Terminal.tap (web-shell) is not quite working yet (0.9.2 Oct 2007): I can get a /bin/sh on http://127.0.0.1:8022 on box running iPR, but not from outside (even with 8022 open for a test). BUT, I would recommend you not use it or hide it: Anyone who gets a terminal shell can really take over your box without you knowing it... just google for "root-kit".

Yeah, it may seem cool to open up port 5010 on your home router, but I would recommend opening only 22 and/or use an ssh tunnel, iphone's vpn, stunnel etc.

On all my boxes I open ONLY port 22 (ssh), and use well documented ssh-security measures, such as scripts to populate Deny Hosts, etc to allow incoming ssh only from my local firewalled subnet. From the outside world, I allow ssh only to one heavily-secured, trusted, trip-wired, log-watchered host.

Once logged in via ssh, I can always start anything I need for a GUI, like osxvnc or iPhone Remote by typing: "open /Users/Shared/iPhone\ Remote.app/"

(I keep test apps in /Users/Shared instead of /Applications). YMMV.

Comment by ghand...@kc.rr.com, Oct 25, 2007

I'm real excited about the prospects of the iPhone controlling iTune, but why stop there?

I've read all the comments, but nobody mentioned how convenient the iPhone would be to control your home automation needs. Specifically X-10 addresses for starters. I hope my fiends at XTensions are listening. :-)

Comment by flavor4real, Nov 07, 2007

Can u guys make a version for windows too please. I want to use theiPhone to view my home webcams....

Comment by jonaizen, Nov 10, 2007

How can I contribute some changes I've made to the code? I've fixed some bugs with the PHP related to indexing into arrays without checking if the index is set (this causes massive warnings to be displayed if your PHP server is set up to show errors, which mine is).

Comment by jrentzke, Nov 14, 2007

Is this guy perhaps making money using your code, or is it just similar?

Comment by qwertzuiop777, Nov 15, 2007

I would like to make you aware of a possible bug: Using the Screen.tapp feature: when i click on a certain point on the screen of the iphone, it doesnt correspond to the place that it clicks on my mac. Its pretty hard do describe. If i click in the lower right corner, my mouse on the mac is not there but somewhere half way. It seems like its "scaled". I have a screen with 1920x1200. You can contact me at asdfghjkl424@gmail.com if you want screenshots etc.

Comment by p...@abitbol.org, Nov 21, 2007

It'd be great if telekinesis had it's own iPhone application, especially for UniRemote?. We wouldn't need MobileSafari? to use it anymore... Great job lads!

Comment by webgod95, Nov 29, 2007

so I'd like to leArn how to program for an iPhone, any suggestions where to start?

Comment by thedarkbasement, Dec 02, 2007

The VNC-like feature is ridiculously amazing - pity the mac's screen isn't centralised on the iphone/ipod's screen.

To speed it up, there could be a 'view only' mode, where the images passed to the iphone/pod are scaled to fit it's screen....

Comment by eminaz, Dec 24, 2007

Hello, I'm a graphic designer and web developer and I want to make Telekinesis look better. I am very good at what I do and I'm friends with the guy who made the XSLIMMER icon.

Hey guys, heres an idea.

How about an app that will let the ipod interface operate without forcing the phone into airport mode.

I'm interested in extending the server a bit - however, I have some general questions but I don't see any direct way to contact you guys. Is there still development activity on this other than tapps?

Can somebody PLEASE add Audio Capture to iPhone Remote functionality?

iPhone Remote should be able to see AND hear.

Comment by ez2phone, Apr 26, 2008

I REALLY want a more feature rich remote, like Netopia or Chicken of the VNC, but for the iPhone. Not only do I want it I am willing to contribute money toward the development.

I went to the site to make a contribution and there is not a place to do so . . . .

Comment by tobycoughlin, May 04, 2008

I'm trying to remotely control my computer from outside my local network. I'm using a BT Voyager Router 2091 and I think I've opened ports 5010 and 5012 but it says 'safari can't establish a secure connection' or just doesn't load it up at all. I really need some help cos its killing me that I can work it inside my local network but not outside it . Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Comment by adam.wulf, Jun 16, 2008

is this project still alive? I'd love to help contribute if it is.

If the project is dead, i'd love to revive it. next steps? anyone?

Comment by CologneLaw, Jun 29, 2008

An implementation for useing afp would be great, for example to read, write and stream AirDik? content without need to use your mac! Any interest?

Comment by adam.wulf, Jul 01, 2008

I talked with JNJ, and I've begun development on this project (under a different name) at http://code.google.com/p/welcometoyourmac/

I've made some fairly significant changes to the PHP front-end, so thought it best to fork the project into a new one. Suggestions/Input/Help wanted. thanks!

I dont get the "Display On TV" message when connected to a TV, this way I would be able to stream movies to the TV, basically like an apple tv, kind of.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Comment by enigmaticchintu, Dec 05, 2008

Well I appreciate if u can remove the Click and Right ad Drag Button , Instead u can provide a touch feature. Also For Chatting you can Procvide Keyboard u can Provide Return Key Functionality to enchane chat via Iphone remote..

Also We can use the Speaker and Mic of the Iphone While Chatting remotely that would be a great feature to Put in.. thanka and regards Ull Are doing Just Great,,

Comment by gmhooper, Jan 30, 2009

Great app but everything works perfectly but when I close the iphone remote I can still access the server from outside my home I checked and iphone remote isn't in the processes. I've rebooted the iphone and when I connect to my mac at home I'm still able to even though I've quit the iphone remote?

How can it still be running if I quit the app?

I am coding on a Flash AS3 API that uses the telekinesis server to launch applescripts! You can trigger Growl and even iPhone push notifications:

http://vimeo.com/5952673

We need some fresh air in this project!

The API i am coding on contains applescripts to control iTunes or your Light (needs the Indigo Server running); Motion Tracking via X10 motion sensors and a RFID Gateway. It is also possible to trigger IR signals to control "real devices" like your tv or a reciever (controlling iRed by Robert Fischer via applescript).

feel free to contact me, i am interested in launching a open source extension to this Project with Flash AS3 :)
