My newest application is out on the iTunes App Store!
AirMote lets you watch video, listen to music, and control presentations on your Macintosh, using your iPhone or iPod Touch as the remote control.
Several remote control layouts are built-in, set up for controlling applications like Front Row, Keynote, iTunes, iPhoto, QuickTime Player, and similar media players. Other layouts take advantage of Apple’s Mouse Keys, Full Keyboard Access, and VoiceOver features.
AirMote is fully customizable, so it can command your computer in all sorts of ways. It does it by sending keystrokes to your computer. You can make your own buttons that send what you want, and put the buttons onto remote control layouts you set up. You can only have up to twelve buttons on screen at once, but you can have as many screens as you like, and switch between them quickly, round-robin style.
The basic idea is you can sit back and watch movies, show photos, listen to podcasts and music around the house, or stand up and give a presentation, or demonstrate your software to your audience from across a conference room or auditorium, with your trusty handheld as the remote control.
AirMote uses VNC protocols every recent Macintosh can understand. You have to turn on permission and set a password in your Mac’s System Preferences > Sharing pane, then AirMote can make the connection over the WiFi LAN, or even across the Internet using WiFi or the cellular data network.
I read a post by you that said you worked on the IBM portable computer…and I was wondering if you had heard of “John Titor”…He claims to have come back from the future to save the world with that particular computer…no joke. I was curious to see if you had heard of him, or if you can think of anything unique about that computer that computers dont have anymore?
inquisitively,

i did work on the IBM 5100 series… but if that guy is going to save the world, he’ll have to do it in the cryptic APL language, the one that computer featured! The fellow is right, in that the 5100 did emulate a mainframe (the IBM 370) so they could put their mainframe APL language on it. This was not really a secret, but it was also not at all widely known. By the way I went on to develop the first (and long discontinued) APL interpreter for the Macintosh, MacAPL. I loved that language!
hi i just got airmote i have vista pc with winvnc on it now when i try to use airmote it keeps saying password is wrong but it is set to the correct password ?
Shoutout, I believe the trouble there may be the VNC software in Windows might not support the authentication method AirMote uses – the DES-encrypted password authentication in the VNC standard. It doesn’t, for example, support the alternate non-encrypted password, or no-password authentication. I haven’t tested to see which Windows VNC software is the best to use with AirMote.
ok by the look of it no windows vnc will work i have tryed winvnc realvnc utravnc tightvnc
update realvnc works now just have to reprogram all the keys in airmote to work on windows
Shoutout, hey that’s great, what did you have to do to get it connected?
had to buy realvnc and uninstall all over vnc and then change the settings in encryption from always on to prefer on
sry to be dumb but please could you tell me all the codes for the keys in windows or tell me where i can find them. ifound how to edit buttons info just dont kno what to change it to so it will work on my vista.
