Remote for iPad cant find songs but iPhone can

Hi All
I have a Strange problem with airport Express and airtunes
From my iPad 4.2.1 running Remote app for iPad if i search for an artist, like Gary Moore, it shows the artist name, but when i Press the name it doesnt display the songs with this artist, it says no songs found.
But if i use the same app on both my iPhone 4 and my iPod touch, and do the same search and Press the artist name, it shows All the songs that i have with this artist
Both the iPad and the iPhone connects to the same airtunes library, on the same machine with iTunes 10.1?
Does anybody have any ideas of what is wrong
I have tried to reinstall the app on the iPad, but that diednt work, i have tried to delete the library on the iPad with no luck
Aby help would be apreciated
Sincerely
Carsten Larsen

anybody have an idea?

Remote for ipad, cant find songs, but my iphone can, on the same network

hi all
have a very odd problem, and apple cant seem to help me, i´m using the app called remote, to control my itunes music, from both my iphones, ipod touch and the ipad, they all connect to the same itunes music library and i can control them just fine, and choose the music and which airplay unit i want to listen to.
so far so good
but on the ipad, if i do a search for BEE GEES, it shows the artist name BEE GEES, but when i press the artist name, to view the songs, it says no songs, and that i should buy some from itunes.
but when i do the exact same search from either the iphones or the ipod touch, the search then again shows BEE GEES and when i press the artist, it shows the songs that i have with that artist.
the strange thing is that if i search for a song name on the ipad, like NIGHT FEVER it see´s the artist as BEE GEES and i can play it, i just cant seem to do a search by ARTIST, then it returns with no songs????
i have made a small video of this, that you can see here, to further explain the issue
http://gallery.me.com/blackbox100/100023/Remote%20problem%20iPad
i have talked to apple numerous times, but they cant offer me any explanation
i have tried to delete the app on the ipad, and reinstall it, but that didnt help, i have tried to hook up to another itunes directory, and that didnt help either?
any help would be appreciated

I have exactly the same problem.
I made some short "tests" and it seems that if the "Album" field on the info of a song (ID3 tag) is empty, it doesn't appear on the search result of an artist (only on iPad's remote app).
So, if you fill the "album" field of a song (on the "get info" option) then it will be displayed on the list of songs of the particular artist that you have searched for, on the "remote app" on the iPad.
As a fast solution (mostly a stopgap) I would recommend that you will open iTunes on your computer and highlight all the songs that have empty the "album" field on the "get info" window (ID3 tag). Then right click and choose "get info". In the "Album" field, type a space or let's say the word "unknown" and click ok. Of course if you know the real name of the Album, you will fill that field with the right information.
After that, all the tracks should be displayed under every artist in the iPad's Remote app.
Apple should give a solution on that bug. It is strange that there is no such problem on iPhone's Remote application, but only on iPad's.

I know this is an old question, but I had the same problem and found the solution somewhere else and thought I'd post it here as this thread comes up when googling for the answer.
It appears as though any songs without an "Album" don't appear. In iTunes select all songs without an album, right click and select "Get Info" and give them an Album name (e.g. "Unknown" or "Singles"). This might also apply to songs without other tags.

Ipad cannot see airprint but iphone can

I have a Epson WF-2540 airprinter which I can see and print with from the iphone and one Ipad but not the second Ipad. Frustrating.
Thanks, John

Interesting. First, are you sure all the devices are on WiFi, and on the same network?
Next, here's an idea:
There is an app in the App Store that I recommend you get. It's called Epson iPrint. Several things would be interesting here:
1. Does iPrint see your Epson printer from the iPad that AirPrint is not working with? That would be interesting if it did, though frankly I don't know what to recommend if it does.
2. From the iPhone or iPad that does see the Epson, open Epson iPrint, and go to Maintenance (Lower left) > Printer Settings > Firmware Update
See if your printer needs a firmware update. You can determine this and indeed update the firmware right from the iPrint utility.

Mac OS 10.3.9 cant read CD, iTunes cant import it but VLC can - please hel

OK - I installed VLC so I could see DVDs from any region (I travel a lot) but when I put in a CD, it says MAC OSX cannot read, I cant see it on the desk top, iTunes cant find it but VLC can and I want to use iTunes to update my iPod. Please help.

explaining what's on the cd might lead to a more helpful answer.

Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

How can I display total playlist size in iTunes 11. It used to be visible for each playlist or CD, but I can't find it now.

How can I display total playlist size in iTunes 11. It used to be visible for each playlist or CD, but I can't find it now.

The Friend: Thanks from me too for that super simple fix!! I feel kinda stupid for not knowing that.
Too bad Apple didn't:
Give it a more intuitive name than "Status Bar"... "status" is what is shown at the top of the window along with the Artist and Song Title, e.g.; how far into the song/podcast/video I've played and how much is left,
Put the keyboard commands in a more prominent place in their release notes when version 11 came out so we could more easily find the information they decided to hide in this attempt to make the desktop less cluttered and
Allow us the option of displaying the data size along with the song count and duration just beneath the playllist title. The status bar is a redundant listing of information except for the data size! Poorly conceived!
Perhaps Apple will remedy this in a future release. For those of us who like to burn our playlists to CD, DVD and even a thumb drive this information is essential. WIthout it, we're left to guess whether a given playlist will fit on our target device.
Thank you!

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

As in purchased it 4 minutes ago, or 4 years ago? The new versions of iTunes are always very reliable at having songs show up in the main library display window when an item is added. Does your song appear in Recently Added? Have you checked your media folders to see if the song is actually on your computer but it is just iTunes that is having conniptions?

Hi Yes0,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with the mic on your iPhone because you can hear them and they can't hear you. The article linked below outlines the available resolutions for this issue.

I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?
