HT1947 I can't pair Remote on my iPhone with iTunes on my MacBook Pro... Help, pls. Thanks!

I tried everything. But it looks like I haven't really done anything coz nothing worked. I don't know where to start. My iPhone 5 has an updated iOS, my iTunes is also up to date... I can't find the "Look for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad Remotes" in iTunes. At this point, I'm really lost. Help, pls!

What does this have to do with iTunes for Windows, the forum to which the question was posted?

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

  • Why is remote control not included with the purchase of macbook pro

    I purchased my 4th macbook pro (late 2013) to replace my 2010model, and to my surprise, there was no remote control included anymore. I don't know since when this started. But I just don't get that, why Apple has to cut corner on such expensive laptops with a price tag close to 3000usd(after tax). I have purchased three macbook pro before including the 2010 model. I found no remote control to be a big disappointment. I am not asking Apple to make anything cheap. But they should have treated generous customers with generosity.

    Will allow you to disable the IR receiver on the Mac so the remote does not control it.

  • Remote app on iphone with Itunes library / Erratic connection problems.

    I have been using Remote app on my Iphone to manage Itunes for months with 100% pleasure and 0 trouble.
    For a few days, it has some erratic behaviour like having difficulties to connect to my Itunes library.
    In such case if I touch the Change Library button on Iphone remote screen, it connects quite instantly...
    I have a simple wifi network generated by my adsl box and a single computer.
    The remote setting option "stay connected" on Iphone is On.
    Generally when I get connected if I quit remote on Iphone and restart it within a minut it will find the library in a jiffy most of times ... but sometimes not.
    I disabled firewall : no change.
    I scratched all remotes in Itunes and paired the Iphone again : no change.
    Does anyone with some idea ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jean.

    Almost the same issue here. And this only started yesterday.
    Initially iTunes would not pair at all, but I went into add/remove programs (Win 7 PC) and ran a repair on Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, and iTunes. I did not remove or reinstall any of these applications.
    After this my iPhone remote app would be found by iTunes, the passcode accepted, plus the library showed up. I thought I'd cracked it...
    But after a few minutes - usually when the screensaver kicks in on my PC - my iPhone loses connection to my library and WILL NOT reconnect unless I restart iTunes.
    I have to say that over the years the remote App is without doubt THE most buggy, inconsistent and erratic piece of software I have ever used. If there was a decent alternative I'd have ditched it a long time ago.
    Looking forward to a solution from one of the experts here (not expecting Apple themselves to even respond!).

  • Why can I not access my Airport Extreme with Bonjour from my MacBook Pro?

    Just like the title says. I the Airport Extreme does not show up under Bonjour in Safari. I can access it from the network but not Bonjour. Weird.

    Bonjour, as you may already know, is Apple's implementation of zero-configuration networking.
    It takes three things to work:
    Host Addressing - It requires network devices that support Link-Local addressing, i.e., self-addressing on either, or both, IPv4 & IPv6. ARP is used to verify that no other device on the local network is using the same address. For Macs, self assigned IPv4 Link-Local addressing became available with OS X 10.0. IPv6 always supported this feature. Verify that you have IPv6 Link-Local, as a minimum, running on your Mac. System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi or Ethernet (as appropriate) > Advanced > TCP/IP tab > Configure IPv6 > Either "Automatically" or "Link-local only."
    Host Naming - Device naming is dependent on Multicast DNS (mDNS). This is the ".local" name for the device. It will create one unless you enter one in System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name. mDNS will issue a Query command to see if any other device is using the same name. mDNS is available with all versions of OS X. Windows devices would require Bonjour for Windows. mDNS requires UDP port 5353 to be opened on the device's software firewall. Note: This is not the same as the router's firewall.
    Service Discovery - Requires the first two items to be working and available. Note: A problematic /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist file may prevent your Mac from advertising its services.

  • Can't sync iPhone with iTunes on Mac book pro.

    I have a iPhone 4 that I just now updated to version 5.1.  I have a Macbook Pro running Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    When I connect my phone to the computer w the USB cable, nothing happens.  iTunes does not "see" the phone.
    I also have wifi and when I try to sync using this, I get a message on the phone "Sync will resume when"Macintosh.local" is available."
    I have done a sync before with no problem using the cable.  I have restarted both the phone and the computer.  What am I doing wrong now?

    I have tried all the suggestions on the support site Mr. Finch suggested.  I have removed iTunes and after the third try, have downloaded and reinstalled iTurns.  Still no sync.  I have rebooted the router, computer, iPhone and still no sync.
    It worked fine a month ago. Yesterday the sync worked fine on my other macbook pro to sync File Maker Pro.
    Any suggestions?

  • How can I import my music from iphone 4 to my new MacBook Pro

    Is it possible to transfer my music on my iphone 4 to my new MacBook Pro??

    There are ways to do it for non iTunes purchases.  Look for forum threads before posting questions, you may find your results faster.  Remember, Google is your best friend.

  • If I connect my iPod Touch to iTunes on my MacBook Pro will it upgrade to iOS 5 automatically or can I refuse the upgrade and sync to iTunes anyway?

    I had my iPod synced with iTunes on my iBook (OS 10.4.11) and then the iBook crashed and I had to replace it with a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8).  I want to transfer all of the stuff on my iPod to my iPhone 4S through the MacBook Pro.  But, I do not want to upgrade the iPod iOS (4.1) because my wife will use it with her iMac (OS 10.4.11).  She has no interest in upgrding the iMac OS to support iOS 5.  Can I sync the iPod with iTunes on the MacBooK Pro without upgrading the iOS from 4.1 to 5.?  This will let me go back to the iMac and sync the iPod with it.  I only need to do this once to offload everything on the iPod to the MacBook Pro and then to the iPhone.  I'm very reluctant to try this for fear of ending up with an iPod that won't sync with the iMac.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    It will never automatically update.  You always will ahev to tell it to update.  it will never update unless you tell it to.
    The pics and music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  The ipod is not a backup device.
    Cop everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Can I host my music or photos on a server and still sync with my iPhone and iPad through my MacBook Pro?

    My new MacBook Pro does not have enough room on the Flash drive to hold all my photos and music.  So I want to save them to a server, yet still be able to sync with iTunes on my MacBook Pro.  Any ideas?

    Nevermind.  I see you can change the location of your music files.  I'll try that.

  • Can I transfer my individual iPhone photo albums to my MacBook Pro and iPad?

    I have taken my photos on my iPhone and broken them down into separate album folders. When I sync my iPhone to my laptop, it will transfer the pictures over, but not in the separate album folders I've created on my iPhone.
    Can I somehow transfer my individual iPhone photo albums to my MacBook Pro and iPad?
    Why won't the "Album Folders" transfer over? I know I can create separate folders directly on my laptop, but that doesn't help with transferring the folders from my iPhone over to my laptop or iPad.

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • Can't pair Auvio 1500465 Bluetooth MusicTransmitter with Apple TV

    Hi. I can't pair the Auvio Music Transmitter with Apple TV. I've gone to settings, Bluetooth on Apple TV, placed the Auvio in close proximity, but the AppleTV keeps searching without success. The Auvio pairs easily with my iPhone and iPad, and I've turned those connections off while trying to pair it with the TV.Any suggestions?

    I wanted to use an older, unused Apple Bluetooth Extended keyboard (this one originally came with an iMac G5, white keys, clear casing) but it refused to pair. Several times, the Apple TV said "pairing" and spun the gear wheel for several seconds and then the keyboard just dropped out of the list on the TV screen. No pairing code was ever given. I then tried it with a newer aluminum short keyboard and it immediately game me a 4-digit pairing code and completed the pairing.
    As a test, I successfully paired and un-paired the older keyboard with my Mac Mini. No problems, seemed to work fine. Then tried it again with the Apple TV. No joy.

  • Can I pair an htc Evo 3d with iPhone 4 when Evo has no service

    Can I pair an htc Evo 3d with an iPhone 4s and the Evo does not have service because it's cancelled?

    You cannot pair an iphone to another phone at all.

  • I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

    I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
