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.

  • Iphoto '11 slideshow does not play music from iTunes

    I cannot get iPhoto Slideshow to play music from iTunes.  I read one suggestion to go to iTunes > File > Library > Organize Library > and select REORGANIZE library.  When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE. 
    Any suggestions on what I can do?

    Then your iTunes library is already organized according to the latest format. See this document on the organisation of the iTunes Library :

    Sometimes the database files inside your iTunes Library can get corrupted.
    Try to rebuild the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" as described  here: 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25468
    I'm not sure if "Consolidate" can help in this situation - it will move all songs into your iTunes Library, so that they can be easier found, but not recreate the datbase files.

  • I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes

    Need assistance with recent upgrade.  I installed 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes.

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

I can't get rid of the black screen unless I force quit the computer, then it starts ok. Then the process starts all over again.

  • How do I set up my iphone 5 so I can access my family account? I purchased music from itunes using my apple id, and those songs do not appear in our family cloud.

    How do I set up my iphone 5 so that I can access my family account? Recently I purchased music from itunes using my apple id, and now I cannot find those songs in our cloud. I wanted to add those songs to my ipod. Do I have to buy them again using my husband's apple id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
    Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
    if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.

  • How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

    How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

    Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

    One weird thing: the drive never mounts on the desktop, the only way I can see it is to click on the TC in 'shared devices' in finder sidebar.
    That's normal. A network drive won't mount by itself. You may want to add the drive to your login items and/or the login items of your boy's account.
    He came over to update his iPod tonight. Now the library is inaccessible. It says that his account is not authorized for the folder.
    Is that a USB drive? How have you defined access to that drive in AirPort Utility? If you set it to "Secure Shared Disks" "With accounts", you'll have to add his account.

  • 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...

    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. 

  • My mac gets slow when I play music from my iTunes library

    Hi, aproximately six months ago I noticed that everytime I play music from my iTunes library that its stored in my 27" iMac's hard drive, the computer gets slow, the images start to flicker, the animatios on the dock and the one when u minimize or maximaze the windows, also flicker. As soon as I close iTunes the computer works fine again. When I play music from a CD this doesn't happen.
    I've taken the iMac to two service providers along theese 6 months and neighther have been able to fix the issue. What they have diagnozed is an issue with the hard drive which has been changed 4 times already.
    What could be the issue?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Apple TV 3 not playing music from iTunes Match.

    Hi Peeps,
    I am unable to access music on iTunes Match on ATV 3.  However Match works fine on my Windows based PC and my iPhone 5.
    I can see all albums and artwork on ATV 3 but when I select to play I get "An error occurred loading this content". Netflix and other app previews etc work fine.
    The software is up to date and I have tried restoring and re-booting with no success.
    Can anyone help???

    Hi Winston,
    Thanks for getting back to me my problem is playinhg music from ATV3
    I have tried restarting the router but no change.
    However the ATV3 has the artist, cover artwork etc. but does not seem to be able to play (stream) and I still get the error message.
    My iphone and PC currently play music from Match on the same network as the ATV3. I am even able to airplay music from laptop to ATV3 but not directly from ATV3.
    So thanks for your help but this has not fixed the problem. I have never had these problems before.

  • Apple TV plays music from Itunes for 1 second only

    The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks but when I play one the music only plays for 1 second before stopping.  Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.  I've reset all of my settings on the Apple TV.  Music plays from Itunes out of my laptop when I have the device set to computer. If I select Apple TV as the device, the song wont play and just hangs, but on the television bottom left corner it will show the track information as though it was going to play for one second before it changes to a blank treble clef image labled "untitled".  Any ideas?

    If I play it from the ATV Menu : The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks.  When I play a track the music plays for 1 second and then stops.  Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.
    If I play it from Itunes via airplay : The song wont play at all and just hangs, but on the bottom left corner  of the TV (that the apple tv is connected to) it will show the track information (Album image + song name) as though it was going to play, but one second later it changes the track information to a blank note image labled "untitled" and no music.
