How do I enter 4 digit passcode in itunes using remote app

My Apple TV is out of sync with my iPhones and iPad. I was trying to add new phone with the remote app and turned off and back on home sharing trying to find where to enter that 4 digit passcode the app gives on each devioce when you select Add an iTunes Library. On older version of iTunes when you had the devices on the left you RT click and added 4 digit passcode. On the current version of iTunes I can not find where to do that at all. What am I missing? Running Windows 8 with current version of iTunes as of September 2013. I remember setting the passcode in old version just fine. Remote app is great and I want it working again! And yes everything network wise is working I was using it to start a movie using the iPad running remote app. While trying to get new phone working killed off all device remote access!

There is no passcode to enter.
Why do you believe that a passcode is needed?

Getting Apple TV to play music from iTunes using Remote App on iPad

Hi
I play my iTunes Library music on my Apple TV. I use the Remoe App to select songs etc.
However, if I stream (push) from iTunes to Apple TV the subwoofer does not play (this is a well know problem). However, if I pull the music from the Apple TV (by selecting computers) it plays as it should.
When using the Remote App on my iPhone 4S I simply select the Apple TV 3, then select "More" - "Computers" and then the library. Select the music and all is good. When I select More I get all sorts of different options (Albums, Composers, Computers and six others).
However, when I do the exact same thing on the Remote App on my iPad 2 I only get the options of Songs, Playlists, Genres and Composers - but not Computers.
It doesn't seem to make much sense, does it?
I can of course select the iTunes library on the iPad and stream to the Apple TV but then I get the subwoofer problem.
Any solutions?
Thanks!

Press the Music In ... to the left of "Albums" at the bottom of the Remote App and select a different library to show in the app. That seems to do it.

Can I Control Some One Elses iTunes Using Remote App on my iPhone

I have iPhone with Remote app and obviously can control my iTunes with it around the home with my Airport Express...
Heres the situation :
I'm round at my mates having a BBQ, can I log into his account with my iPhone so I can use the remote app to change his cheesey choice in music?
Can this be done if my phone is already logged into my itunes account? Can I simply log out of mine and into his, with his permission of course, to take control of music selection...
Or would I have to go as far as syncing my phone with his iTunes account? In which case its not worth it, because I would the lose all my music wouldn't I, until I resynced with my account...
Thanks for anyone taking some time to answer this for me...
Andy...

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

You'll need to force your iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow the directions in this link and you may have to try more than once to be successfull.
Note: You will lose data, but once back in you can restore from a backup.

HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

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.

I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

ITunes and Remote app not pairing

I'm having an incredibly frustrating problem with the Remote app and I'm wondering if anyone knows what to do.
The app has worked fine in the past. I've paired it to my iTunes library successfully and controlled it.
Recently, it has stopped working. When I try to re-pair it with iTunes, one of two things will happen:
1 - I will enter the passcode and iTunes will accept it, and then on the iPhone, I just get the spinning icon and then it times out. Most times when this happens, the library name on the iPhone is blank, even though I have a name set in iTunes. In the past, when this worked right, it had the right name; or
2 - I will enter the passcode in iTunes and it will get stuck on "Verifying Remote Passcode" in iTunes. Then it times out and I'm left with no connection.
So far, in attempting to solve the problem, I've:
+ installed the latest version of iTunes
+ deleted and reinstalled the Remote app on the iPhone
+ rebooted the iPhone and my iMac, and also reset the iPhone (hold down both buttons until the Apple logo appears).
+ changed the iMac's firewall settings to "set access to specific services and applications," added iTunes to the list, and set it to allow incoming connections
+ used the "Forget all remotes" option in the iTunes settings and then tried to pair again.
I've searched google and these message boards and found plenty of others with the same problem, but no real solution (some of the things I did above came from suggestions I saw in these other threads, but none of it worked for me).
The iTunes library and the iPhone are on the same network and in iTunes, the "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" option is checked.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I really can't believe this question has not been answered yet. I'm having the exact same problem others have described. I posted on my blog regarding this issue with screen shots of the error I've been getting: http://ben.kwinix.com/blog/2009/11/20/oh-apple-what-does-this-mean/
My network is more complicated than most: I have an Airport Extreme running a 5 GHz 'N' network and a Netgear routher running a standard 'G' network. The Airport is the primary device and acts as the DHCP server; the Netgear is set up as an extender. I use the Airport to connect my iMac, MacBook, and Apple TV and the Netgear to connect my iPhone and any other 'G' devices that come into the house. All devices when connected to either router are provided an IP address by the Airport in the "10.0.1.x" format. Also, all devices say that the "router" is 10.0.1.1, which is the Airport.
When attempting to connect to any device on the network (either iTunes library or the Apple TV) with the Remote app from the iPhone, I typically get an error regarding a firewall or network settings. Everything is fully updated - latest versions of firmware, OSes, etc.
I've followed the steps outlined in an Apple support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741) without success. Someone out there has to have an answer!

How-To: Correctly entering WEP passcodes so Wi-Fi works

After speaking with specialist and getting password protected Wi-Fi to work:
1. Since my 10 digit WEP code only has numbers 0-9 and letters A-F, the iPhone sees it as a HEX code, not a standard WEP code. Thus, when entering it in the iPhone, you must go to the ASCII/HEX option, and put the $ symbol in, which tells it that your WEP key is really a HEX key.
You can access the HEX input option under seurity.
So, when joining networks in the future that are locked, 10 digit, and only numerals 0-9 and letter a-f, you can choose HEX and add the $ sign. (Some people report this working without adding the $ sign).
2. If you appear to be connected with a signal after entering your passcode, but still cannot access the internet, you go back to Wi-Fi options and tell the iPhone to "Forget this Network". Then you re-access it and start the input over.
3. Longer passwords or passwords with strange characters should be tried under both WEP and ASCII/HEX. Again, before each try, choose "Forget this Network" and start over.
4. A good test to make sure that your iPhone really does work on your home internet is to go into your router and turn your passcode off. Then, on the iPhone, choose "Forget this Network", and start over. iPhone will fly and you'll see it work (unless your phone is defective - and this is not likely.) If you don't know how to do this, (turn off router password) call your service provider. They will walk you through it, and it is really easy to do (maybe 4 steps... you just need the providers name and password and you access the option on menu... very simple. It is also simple to turn it back on when done with your test).
5. Once you know your iPhone works, you can play around with the different passcode options if you want to keep the network password protected. Again, remember the "Forget this Network" option between each try. Otherwise, you will appear connected with signal strength but really won't be able to access the internet.
Notes:
A. A Fios network specialist told me that the more encryption you have, the longer the internet takes - on everything: computers, devices, etc. 8 or 13 digits are ideal, and more than enough protection. And your internet will be faster.
B. All this password confusion should be standardized, but different providers choose different formats, hence the confusion. Although iPhone is very capable and is advanced technology, they could only support so many formats, hence our need to do some "tweaking" for unconventional formats. Eventually these providers should standardize in the future. (Same problems can exist for people connecting Wii's and PS3's wirelessly to protected home networks. Standardization would fix this).
C. Although my iPhone is working quickly and effortlessly now on my home Wi-Fi network, it did go a little faster when the WEP was turned off on the router (and so did my laptop), so I guess the network guy was right.
D. You don't need to "Restore Your iPhone" in iTunes to get this all to work. Although some people have mentioned that a "soft reset" of iPhone has helped. To do this, hold down the button on the top of iPhone while you hold down the "Home" button.
E. If your iPhone works in open networks, or at home with your passcode off in the router, then your iPhone works fine on Wi-Fi. If the above solution does not work for you at home with WEP security turned on in your router, then the problem is an encryption one. Your options are to keep your home network passcode off, or to call your service provider and try different types of passcode encryption until you find the right one.
F. If you bought your own router and are not leasing it from your network provider, you can visit their website and try updating the firmware on your router or seeing what other options are available for passcode encryption and try those.
G. If you have MAC Authorization or Identification enabled in your router settings, you will need to manually enter your iPhone's MAC address into your router settings. This address can be found on the iPhone's "About" Menu option, under "Settings". This type of layer of security is really unneccessary and pain. Most people do not have it enabled, but if you do, entering the iPhone's MAC address enable you to get on. (But I suggest you turn this off if it is on.)
**If this post helped you, please respond or add a star if helpful so others can find it and use it.
Using the iPhone on Wi-Fi really is a pleasure!!! Enjoy your iPhones!!

Just a word to the wise. Turning off password protection in your router leaves your network wide open to whomever is close enough to see your network. Unfortunately, a walkthrough is not as easy as it sounds. Every routers interface is different, and without talking to you while you have it open and having some idea what the interface looks like, it would be difficult to say the least. However if you know where you turned it off, then you know where to turn it on. Look for some of the options you have seen here and you will hopefully be able to figure it out. 64bit WEP with no encription, with a passcode that is either ascii or Hex is problably the easiest to set up. It is not the most secure, but will keep most folks out. However a relatively determined hacker will still be able to get in. Each requires that you select a key of a specific length, that is what makes it 64bit. 128bit makes it more secure because the key has to be twice as long.
Once you get your router set up with a password(key), you have to get it entered in your iphone. If you were all ready connected to your network, you will not be anymore, but the iphone will not really tell you that clearly. Now for the steps:
1. Go into Settings - Wi-Fi and touch the blue arrow next to your network.
2. The touch Forget this Network at the top of the screen. It will ask for a
confirmation.
3. Touch the back button which puts you back on the Wi-Fi Networks
window.
4. Cycle the Wi-Fi off and then back on. It will do a new search for networks.
Yours should show up again.
5. This time when you touch on it it should ask you to Enter Password. Touch
the WEP Password entry on the Security line.
6. This will bring up a new window where you should see 'WEP hex or ASCII'.
Make sure that is checked, touch it if it is not.
7. Then touch the back button and enter your password(key) you put in your
router. If you set it to hex in your router, you may have to try the $ thing
mentioned before, but I would try it without first.
8. The password window will disappear. The lock should disappear from your
network for a few moments and then reappear. Once it does, click on the
next to it again. Check to see if you have valid information in the first 4
lines.
A couple of notes:
You will get valid information if your router is set up for DHCP, which most are, but if yours is not, you will have to change the tab to BootP or Static and set those up with valid information. However since without a password(key) you did not have a problem, DHCP is probably running.
Second, note I said valid information in the first 4 entries. If you see an ip address starting with 169.254, that is not a valid address. At this point go back to step 2 and try again, perhaps with the $. However since you cannot see the letters/numbers you entered in the password, it could just be a typo on your part, so maybe try it again both with and without the $.
Hopefully this will get you going. Good luck. Was that fourth grade or second grade level, these days you never know. I guess it would have been second year college or later in my day. ; )
