Connecting my iPhone using the remote app.

I am trying to connect my iPhone using the remote app, nothing seems to work. I have been told to go to Preferences > Devices and allow iTunes to search for iPhone ect but there isn't this option when I go there?

You do not have to dock your iPhone to use an iOS remote app to control your Mac.
There are both Wifi and Bluetooth style iOS remote apps for both iPhone/iPod and iPad.
Apple makes the one you are using. I believe that Apple's app can use both WiFi and Bluetooth.
I use a very exceptional Wifi remote app on iOS that is called Rowmote Pro.
This app has a really good feature set, plus you can control other aspects of your Mac with it.

  • HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

    Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Can no longer use the Remote app on iPhone 5 or iPad 1

    Hi,
    I've long used the Remote app to control my iTunes library which I stream through two Airport Expresses. It's been a great solution for some time.
    However, since the latest updates, I can no longer do this. The iTunes library does not show up in the app, only a message telling me to turn on Home Sharing in iTunes.
    I have turned Sharing off and on on the iPhone, iPad and iTunes but have had no luck getting it to work.
    Any suggestions welcome!
    Thanks
    Phil

    Thanks Linc,
    well that *****... I guess I am going to have to reach out to the developers. It does not look like they are doing this anytime soon cause the website is pretty old in itself.
    Thanks for the info on this,
    Paul

    This is to control the music library to be more specific.

  • HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

    I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?
    Mats

    I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

  • Music  does not play on Iphone when using the Remote app for Itunes , is this normall.

    Hi all,
    I am using the remote App for ITunes on my IPhone 5,I can get the phone to operate
    ITunes perfectly but there is no audio coming from the phone, I am having a party and I
    want to play the same playlist  throughout the house without having it up at full volume.
    I was hoping to leave the laptop downstairs and plug the IPhone into a stereo upstairs.
    If this is normal ...........
    Is it possible to load the playlist on to 2 computers , and have them playing the same music
    simultaneously.
    Any suggestions please

  • How do I use the remote app on a dual band network?

    There are 2 routers in my home. One is dual band (SSID: NETGEAR49-5G). This one is being used as a 5GHz access point while the other (SSID: NETGEAR49) is being used as a 2.4GHz extender. However I can't use the Remote app to control my iTunes library, regardless of which router I connect to. I can't even use a passcode to add my library because I just keep getting an error saying I entered the wrong code. Strangely everything's fine if I turn off the 2.4GHz router, but I don't want to have to keep doing that. Is there any way I can configure the two routers so I can use the Remote app and other network-based services??

    Hi,
    I can tell you how it works on my iPhone.
    I click the Messages icon to open it.
    I click the box with pencil icon top right for New Message
    I start to type the name of the person I want to contact in the "To" spot.
    (Alternatively use the Blue + icon and select direct from Contacts list)
    I select the full name of Contact from any list if there are multiples.
    Once the person and their Contact option is selected I click on the text field at the bottom of screen
    Using the "keyboard" I type the Message and then  the Send button.

  • ATV doesn't show iTunes playlists and doesn't play them using the Remote app

    Hello
    Using ATV3 with the latest software version and it is connected to the iTunes library (also latest version) on my Mac Mini.
    When I go to Computers on the ATV I can see the content of the iTunes and am able to play both Music and Vidoes however I don't see the playlists on iTunes there. On the ATV configuration it is configured to Show playlists -> All but still no Playlists appearing at the top of my movie and TV show listings section.
    When I connect to the ATV using the Remote app on the iPhone and go to Computers there I do see the playlists but unable to play the ones with Vidoes just music.
    Any ideas what would cause these problems...?

    log into my library through more > computers where? on the Remote? This is exactly what i'm doing, I can see the content of my library there but I can't play movies from there.

  • My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

    My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the apple TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

    Yes I believe so. Try it and see you can always delete the Apple TV from a remote if it messes things up.
    But we have three remotes setup to do this. My iPhone and iPad and my wifes iPhone. She has a different iTunes logon but it seems to work fine

  • It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

    It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
    I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

    What?
    You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
    And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
    No, this will not work.
    Just create a network with your notebook.

    Dear Apple friends,
    I have the exact same problem with some apps.
    Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
    Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
    I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
    Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
    Is there a fix for this issue?
    Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
    Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
    Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
    Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?
