Having trouble pairing my iPhone and iTunes with Remote.

So, I know that these are to the ways to use Remote. When trying to pair with an iTunes library, steps 1 and 2 work but when I open iTunes on my computer, the Remote button does not appear. When trying to pair using Home Sharking, steps 1-4 work but my library does not show up for me to select. I am using an iPhone 5S and MacBook Pro, both with the most current versions of iTunes.

Hey brenyo!

I'm having trouble pairing a PayPal Here device with my iPhone 6

I am having trouble connecting anything via Bluetooth to my iPhone 6+
Last night it was pairing with a PayPal Here device however I had to remove it from the list of Bluetooth devices as it was not working properly. There was a software update being downloaded to my phone but it was stuck on step 2 of 5 for over an hour.
Tonight my Bluetooth is not connecting to anything - the wheel has been spinning, trying to connect, for more than an hour.
I am unsure if the device needs to be updated or the app needs to be updated
Please help

SYNCING IPHONE AND ITUNES WITH NEW HARD DRIVE

My hard drive crashed on my mac book pro and I had to replace it with a new one. I'm trying to get new music onto my iphone that I purchased thru Itunes, but it is saying that only one computer can be used. This is the only computer that I used for the library, but now there is a new hard drive in it. Obviously I do not want to lose the music on my iphone and I'm curious how or if I can get around the message saying that if I want to sync to a new computer that it will erase the prior library. Please advice because I would like to update my iphone as soon as possible.

Connect the iPhone and choose Transfer Purchases from the dialog box which appears or the File menu in iTunes. Do NOT sync the iPhone until you've completed this task.

I am having trouble pairing my iphone 5s with my 2014 toyota corolla.

I recently switched from Blackberry to iphone. I was told my car (2014 corolla with tech pkg) would work better and be more functional with iphone. I have lost all functionality of the bluetooth message system. Is anyone else having this issue does anyone know how to fix it.??

OK, I called Plantronics and it was an easy fix. You need to hold down the volume up button and the power button on (on the headset) at the same time until the lights on the headset start flashing red and blue. Then turn on the phone Bluetooth and it pairs up just fine.
Thanks fo rthe help!!

Im having trouble pairing my iphone with my new car

I recently bought a new car that offers handsfree calling with a paired bluetooth phone. I had no problems pairing my phone, but I cannot make a call using the hands free speaker option. My contacts are all loaded into the car, but I can still not call hands free. Is there a setting that I can change on my phone to fix this prolem?

Consult the manual for your car or contact your dealer. There are no settings to change on the phone. If it's paired, connected, and the contacts are showing up on the in-car system, it's up to the in car system to do the rest.

Hi . im having trouble syncing my iphone in itunes

Hi there, im trying to sync music in my iphone but my itunes keeps frozes and backing up.

go to settings-> general-> Reset-> Erase all contents and settings. When ur phone finishes that, set it up as a new phone(instead of restoring from old back ups) and then sync with itunes. This should work.
If that doesnt work too.. then delete the softwareupdate.ipsw file from itunes media folder and do a restore. This will download a new iOS file from apple which will be completely error free. (Do this only if the above step didnt solve the issue.)

How iTunes works managing multiple iPhones and iTunes with same account

My wife and I each have our own computers using the same iTunes and Amazon account. I want to know how the download rules work...
For apps
For music
For books
I know that Kindle books appear on both.
I know that you can share music between 5 (?) different devices. Can't remember how that is done right now...
It appears that an app bought on one computer or iPhone must be paid for again on the other. True?
Where is the best place on the Apple site to see answers to these types of questions?

Your iTunes account can be authorised on up to 5 computers at any one time (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420). You can also use home sharing so as to share your content between computers or to listen/watch content on your iOS devices : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 (you can also copy music between computers via home sharing)
As long as you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them then you don't have to pay to re-download (or download on different computers/devices) past purchases of apps or ibooks (or music if you are in the USA) as long as they are still available in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
You can also manually copy music/apps/ibooks/films/tv shows between computers and then do File > Add File To Library (or Add Fold) in iTunes so as to add them.

Trouble connecting Macbook Air and iTunes with Apple TV

When I tried to connect my iTunes to my Apple TV,this message showed 'An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000)'. I just changed my iTunes ID. I am using Macbook Air 13" mid 2011 OS X Lion.
Anyone has the same problem?

goto settings on your appletv and reapply your new Apple ID information to correct the issue. Same on your Air also if you havent already done so

TS4062 I replaced my iPad with a new one. I backed up to iCloud but did not do a physical iTune Sync. Now I am having trouble recovering some Notes and Photos. I have been reinstalling Apps from the App Store. How do I recover my Notes?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:

Cellular calling doesn't yet work reliably.
Make sure you've followed the instructions in this support article. Note that both iCloud and FaceTime on the Mac must be signed in to the same Apple ID; those are two separate steps. Also note that the Mac and the phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Ethernet won't work. Trying to pair the phone to the Mac as a Bluetooth device won't work either.
If cellular calling still doesn't work, sign out of FaceTime and sign back in. You may have to do the same on the phone. The email address that you use as your Apple ID must be able to receive FaceTime calls.

I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
I have no idea what that means.
I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.
