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.

HT4356 Do I need an App to print from my iPad to my new HP AirPrint capable printer? My iPad says it can't find a printer and we are on the same network.

I have a new HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP that is supposed to have air print. My iPad isn't reading it. Is there something special I need to do? Both are on the same network and my laptop is working fine with it. Any suggestions?

1. Make sure it's setup for network printing

2. You can try using this App

When I connect my ipad to a wifi network, the iphone connects to the same network

When I connect my iOS 8 iPad 4 to the guest network at work, my iOS 8 iPhone 5s automatically connects to the same network. When I disconnect the iPhone so I can send an email from my iCloud account (which is blocked on the work network) and tell it to forget the network, it disconnects my iPad too. Each time I tell the iPhone to forget the network, when I reconnect my iPad, the iPhone connects again.
How do I tell my iPhone to never connect to the work guest network while allowing my iPad to connect?
I do not like this feature in iOS 8.

Unfortunately, this does not help me, there are no issues with the operation of the WiFi, it is operating normally on both devices.
The issue is that in iOS 8, the WiFi network information is shared across linked devices. Therefore, if I add a network to one device, it is added to the other device and if I forget a network on one device, it is forgotten on the other.
I want to use a network on one device (the iPad) and to not use the network on the other (iPhone). How do I tell the iPhone to not connect to the WiFi without disabling WiFi while allowing the iPad to connect to the network? It is annoying to have to disable the iPhone WiFi manually each day when I get to work and it is prone to forgetting to turn it back on when I leave.

A new iPad and new Express, but no Mac - can't set up network!

Here's a puzzler (for me at least) --
Mom bought a new iPad and new Airport Express. She has no Mac, so no iTunes and no syncing. Her iPad does NOT have Airport Utility. She's starting from scratch.
Her Express is connected to her Cox Cable Cisco modem, shich shows steady green for good internet connection. The express flashes amber, I assume becuase there's no network set up.
Her iPad sees the Express -- Wi-Fi in the Settings menu has "Apple ..." where the network name appears -- and the wireless signal 'fan' shows strong in the top bar.
In iPad > Settings > Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi shows 'on', no editable network shows, and no "create network" option shows.
She can't get Airport Utility without internet or syncing to a Mac, and she can't see any way to create a network, or see any existing network that she can forget or manage.
Is this simple Cox Cable > Cisco modem > Express wireless > iPad a workable setup?
Is there any way to create the wireless network without Airport Utility?
Thanks!
Otto
P.S. The iPad isn't pristine connection-wise. It was temporarily connected to a public Wi-Fi to complete setting up an iCloud account, and so get to the home screen for the first time. BUT, my mom is ancient and fearful, and I don't want to send her out to find public Wi-Fi to set up a a credit card account so she can use the app store to get utility if I don't have to. Help.

Thanks CRMDVM -- ...which means, I think, that she will need to go out into the wide world to find public wireless. Makes me wish Airport Utility was one of the stock apps that came with the iPad.
Any other ideas? Any way to manually configure on an iPad? Anything? Thanks.

How can I call my ipad 2 on facetime with my Iphone 4s with the same Apple ID ?

Hey'
I'm french so i will try to explain my problem in English.
I've got an Iphone 4s and an Ipad 2, and I want to use Facetime between then.
But I've the same apple ID on both devices..
And when I call my iphone the app just open and close 2 seconds after.. Same thing with my ipad.
What can I do ?
Thanks !

I don't believe this can be done since your using the same apple id. It would be like calling your own phone number and getting a busy signal.

Message not working with gtalk on Mac in office network, but Gtalk is working in the same network on Windows machine

I was using Windows machine at my workplace (Office network), gtalk used to work absolutely fine.
Now I started using, Mac everything is working fine but my Gtalk account configured in Message is not working.
Gtalk is working fine as soon a connect to my home network.
I have tried configuring Nimbuzz and Psi , but of no use.
Please suggest.

Ok, after 40 minutes on the phone with the most patient and helpful Apple tech ever, the problem was fixed. Still not sure what did it though. Basically what I did was this-
Completely uninstalled iTunes, details here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
I even removed all files associated with iTunes, which is further down the same page. Don't worry, you won't have to delete your music.
Then, I emptied the Trash and restarted the machine. I then checked for updates for every single App on my machine, upgraded to 10.6.4, and downloaded the iPhone SDK - not sure how this helped but anyway....
Then I restarted the machine again.
I then verified and repaired all permissions through the Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)
Restarted the machine...again.
I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes and installed it...and it worked.
Now, at this stage I was skeptical as anyone who has read my first post will know, restarted the machine previously left me back at the start. Well, I just restarted the machine and all seems good.
So, I'm not sure (neither was the tech actually hehe) which step specifically fixed the problem, so you might want to try them all.
If this doesn't fix your problem, my heart goes out to you! Perhaps try calling tech support-

A few of my artist are showing twice when i download new songs, but they are typed exactly the same way

what do i do?

Hello janefrommb,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You are on the right track, the best troubleshooting step here would be to re-download your purchases. The following article outlines how to do so:

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro, my wife has a MacBook Air - is it possible to share a photo library and still be able for both of us to access it when not on the same network?

For example, she often works away and we both obviously would like access to the photo library while she is away.
Upon her return I would then need to sync the library with any new photos either of us has taken. We also both have iPhones with separate apple id's so would need to sync both to a single library if possible?

There is not yet a reliable way to keep an Photo library on a network volume, that you can access remotely and share between multiple users. The syncing over the network will corrupt the libraries, and merging two iPhoto libraries requires third party tools, like iPhoto Library Manager.
With Aperture instead of iPhoto you could merge libraries, but still not have the library on a server for remote access.
It would be easier, if both of you kept your own copies of the iPhoto library on your macs and used the shared photo streams to add any new photos taken by each other.

okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone. Does anyone know how I can get my music? I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.
