Thank you so much for this post!!! I downloaded the Remote app on my iPod Touch and tried to follow the instruction and can't figure out wtf it was saying. Clearly I had to do it via iTunes. Still this screen by screen setup is helpful. Cheers, SML

I have seen it's possible to trick your iphone into thinking it's on wi-fi. Now i'd like to use the remote app for itunes that only works on wi fi via internet. does anyone know if it's possible?

Has anybody had problems when entering the passcode in Win XP SP3? Uninstalled firewall etc. iPhone ver 2.2.1, iTunes 8.0. iTunes Keeps telling me "passcode incorrect". Went ok on another Vista PC. Drives me nutz...

Do you know if it is possible to control one iTunes (installed on one computer) from more than one iPhone?
