Help-incomplete library shows up when I use the remote to play iTunes

I bought a new iMac a few months ago and have enjoyed the luxury of being able to control the music in iTunes via the remote control from across the room. This morning, however, when I tried to do this, I found that only a small portion of the music that is in my library is available to me when I try to play the music using the remote control option. Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, how do I get around it? I've gone back into iTunes using the keyboard and confirmed that the library is still intact, and I've restarted the computer. That's pretty much what I know to do, so now I'm asking for outside input.
The version of iTunes that I'm running is 7.0.1 (7). The only thing I've done recently involving iTunes is that I moved some of my music into a new ipod, but I don't think that would do this.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
-Andy

Nobody else has experienced this problem?

Hi ..
Try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Hi, I've just downloaded Aperture 3.2 and transfered all my iPhoto Library but now when I use the Aperture program it runs at the slowest speed possible and is almost impossible to work with. It is constantly processing why is this?

You can click on the text that says 'processing' in the main windows and it will open (toggle) the Activity Window, (can also be accessed via the Window menu -> Show Activity.
It will tell you what Aperture is doing with more precision and perhaps even how many photos it still needs to process. It is generally best to wait until all that processing is done before you start working with the photos (well it is best to first turn of options what you dont want to use, perhaps Faces or Previews and then let it process the new photos).

HT4623 I cannot update my iOS even when I use the update button from iTunes.

When I use the update button from iTunes it gives me this message " the iPad soft where update server could not be contacted (that's in boldface). Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connections is active, or try again later." my network settings are active and correct (I think it is correct) and I tried again later many times. Please help me I want to go to iOS 6.1.

This happens a lot! Go to settings> general> reset> reset network settings. When this is completed, anything stopping the update will be removed. Try it again after that.

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

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.

How to not have songs duplicates in app remote? I have playlists for my iphone and playlists for my pc. All songs of my iphone are also on my mac. When i use the remote app, it plays everything in double.

Dear all,
I am using itunes to control all my music and i like to use my iphone, or my ipad to control my music with the remote app.
But i have a problem: all the music i have in my iphone count as double play.
To explain everything since the beginning, i personally don't like and don't trust at all the music sync capability of itunes.
So i have my music on my pc, and i load every type of music as a single playlist (ex a Pop-Rock folder, with all artists folders and so on, makes me a Pop-Rock playlist).
For my iphone, i created a iphone music folder, with the same classification.
It means that i don't have all my Pop-Rock music, only a selection. But of course the selected music appears also in my complete music collection.
So in itunes i created a folder playlist named iphone music, with inside one playlist by type of music (exemple : Pop-Rock, which contains some files of my main Pop-Rock collection).
So i do have duplicates in my hard drive. But when i selected the playlists to be shared on home sharing in itunes, i selected only the main playlists, not my iphone playlists! But still, when i look for ACDC artist for example, i should see only what i have on my pc, not what i have also on my iphone.
The result is if i play an album for example Back In Black (i have it full on my hard drive, and full on my iphone too), then every song is displayed in remote app in double, and also played in double:
Here is how it is displayed:
Song 1
Song 1
Song 2
Song 2
So the remote app plays Song 1 one time, then Song 1 (the second Song 1) one time and continues like this to Song 2 etc...
I guess that if i put my selection of songs on my ipad, i will then have everything in triple....
It is very annoying. Is there a way for me to change that? Or for an update to be made (based on ID3 Tag) to not play everything twice or more? It would have an ID3 Tag No Double toggle button.
I don't want to select from my main music to send elements to my iphone as doing that i lost a lot of music multiple times. This way of doing is not safe at all (at least for me).
What is possible to do? Is there room for improvement here (i believe so). Is there a way for me to avoir this very annoying effect?
I would really like to put my music to my iPad2 also, but after i'll have triple play....
Thank you for your help.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

ITunes opens up automatically when I use the remote to control VLC!!!

I have often used VLC with 10.5 to watch videos on my iMac and always used the remote to pause, play, and adjust the volume. However, since upgrading to 10.6 today, now every time I use the media keys (either the remote, or even hitting the space bar on the keyboard to pause/play the VLC player), iTunes automatically opens up (it was not running before) and starts playing! VERY annoying when trying to watch a movie. Does anyone know any setting I can do such that iTunes will only be controlled by the remote when it is open?

There are several other discussions covering the same subject. Check out http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2122639&start=30&tstart=0 and you'll find the same solution as I found.

A frame shows up when I use the Emitter. Why?

I used the Emitter on a PSD file with a transparent background, but a little frame still appears on the right side of the logos. There's nothing there on the PSD file. Why is this happening?

It's hard to say - we need more details - can you describe your project a bit?

HT4437 I get good response when I use the remote app but when I try and use airplay it could be five minutes between frames. Any ideas?

Seems to work very sporadically on airplay but no problem on Remove app.

Hi Bob,
When I went to see what version of the TDM Excel Add-in I had installed, I discovered that my previously working TDM Excel Add-in was suddenly exactly reproducing your symptoms (totally unresponsive) -- I too have Win XP SP2 and Excel 2003. I then followed the steps from the web site that Julia posted above:
1) Manually deleted the TDM Excel Add-in from the Excel toolbar
2) Manually uninstalled the "Excel TDM Add-in" from "Add and Remove Programs"
3) Manually installed the "Excel TDM Add-in" from this web page:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2944
Now when I restart Excel, I get the floating TDM Excel Add-in icons, and they work perfectly. I was able to verify that the version that works on my computer is indeed 2.0.1.4. By the way, how do you know what version you're using, if the "About" icon is unresponsive?

Why is my Computer not authorized only when using the remote ?

I am new to Itunes. I have taken a huge collection of my CDs and loaded them into Itunes having it save them as MP3 files. I can from the computer keyboard play any of them just fine. I hooked up the computer to my home theater system (including video hook up) my idea was that I could use the computer remote to control ITunes. However when I select a track using the remote I get a message telling me the computer is not authorized and I need to enter an Itunes store ID number. Whats the deal can ITunes only recognize if you purchase from them, can I not use my own purchased CDs??? -or- am I just doing something wrong? Any ideas would be welcomed, I have loaded about 16,000 tracks of music I already own. It would take forever to play each track so the remote will work. Oh, and it does, if I lay it first from the keyboard then the remote will play that track as well.... wierd

I am on Quick Time 7.1.3
I also tried the Option, choose library, no dice. The library is functioning fine. I plays anything I want if I work directly on the computer. It only gives the "not authorized message when I use the remote control.

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes they don't show up in music when you click on "On this phone"? I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

Please help me in this issue. when I use C hold down when mac start nothing happed

This causes the Mac to boot from the DVD drive. Hold the C key down between the startup tone and the logo.
(the shift key is not required).
Another way to do it is to hold down the Option key during boot and the bootmanager will show you all the possible boot devices and you can pick from there.
