HT1947 Remote iPad volume not playing - plays music on iMac instead

I loaded Remote for iPad to my iPad2 and it found my music library through home sharing no problem. However, when I hit play to listen to the music on my ipad the ipad volume is silent (it shows the music time advancing) but the music is playing full volume on my imac instead. WTH? Anyone else encounter this and know how to make a quick fix so I can listen to the music on ipad? I have successfully loaded home sharing to my mac air and listen to music on that computer no problem (without it playing on my imac).

Well that's a rather useless app.
Then don't use it.
Why would I need to access my desktop PC from my iPad if we are all in the same room together? Wouldn't I just click "Play" from the desktop?
Why get up and press Play when you have a remote in your hand?
What if your desktop is in the office and you want to play music on your stereo in the family room?
Or what if you have outdoor speakers and want to access your entire library while barbecuing?

    My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

    Music plays in the Music app - not iTunes. Videos play in the Videos App - not in the Music App. Is that what you are doing? If you are using the correct apps for the appropriate content - quit the apps and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is shutting down and not playing music?

    so here is the story:
    lately my iPod touch 4th gen will become frozen, or slow whenever i am using it. However within the last 2 weeks it has shut itself down completely (even though there was always more than half charge) 3 times and won't allow me to turn it on for about 2-3 days. It also will not play music anymore, and instead is either silent or sounds of static. I am just wondering if there is anyway I can fix it or if I need to buy a new iPod.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPad is not playing sound on music videos...

    Suddenly my iPad is not playing the sound on music videos. I have already tried holding down the sleep and home button...still not working.

    1. If Side Switch is set to Mute, check to make sure it's not muted

  • 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.

  • My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music)

    My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music). As soon as I slide my ipod into opening the volume goes all the way down. Even if it's already completely off, the audio icon comes on the screen, which tells me the ipod is still trying to lower the volume. As I said, I don't even have to be listening to music. I can be on the opening screen. When I turn the volume back up, it immediatley turns it back down. It only doesn't go down if I physically hold my finger to volume bar on the touch screen.
    And yes, I've updated all my software (on my ipod and laptop). I've also entirely reset my ipod twice.
    Tell me, is it time to ditch the ipod and find some other sort of mp3 player (this is one problem at the end of a long list of less debilitating but equally annoying issues I've had with my 2 ipod touches)

    Yeah, I probably mean restore. Multiple times though!
    Also, I forgot to mention that this issue persists regardless of whether or not my headphones are plugged in.

  • ITunes does not play music downloaded from match

    Hope this is the correct location for this...
    I have iTunes Match, I also have an iPhone 4.
    If i download music from Match on to the iPhone device, everything works fine on the iPhone.
    However, if i plug my iPhone into iTunes, go to device and select Music under my phone, the songs which were downloaded from Match to the device do not play. They just retuen with the
    If i play songs downloaded from Match on the iPhone itself, it works fine.
    iTunes is authroized, and signed in.
    Songs that are hard synced (synced with device plugged into iTunes and not downloaded from Match directly to the device) work fine.
    Any ideas?
    iPhone 4
    iOS 5.1
    Win7 32bit & 64bit (tried on 2 seperate machines, both signed into iTunes & authorized)

    First of all make sure that you have the volume turned up with the control on the right side of the iPad. You play music in the Music App - not in iTunes. If you have the volume turned up and you are using the Music App - restart or rest the iPad and see if that helps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My iPhone will not play music, and says it's connected to a dock when it's not. Help?

    My iPhone will not play music. Whenever I try to play music through the speakers on my iPhone it won't let me adjust the volume (like it's connected to a dock) and when I do connect it to a dock, the music plays through the iPhone speakers. Also I've tried just listening to my music through earphones and it plays for around 6 seconds then it goes back to like it's connected to a dock. Help? I've tried turning it off and on, restarting it and even restoring it and nothing's worked.

    It says this when not connected to the dock. His dock is an ihome which isn't an official Apple dock. I think my next step is to take the thing in to an Apple store.

    What happens when you play music? Do the hardware volume controls work when using the Music app?

  • IHome iA91 will not play music from iPhone 4

    Hey everybody,
    I'm having an issue that seems to be fairly common, but lacks a solid solution.
    Whenever I dock my iPhone 4, the iHome iA91 will not play music.  My iPhone continues to play music through its own speakers, but will not use the iHome's speakers.  A message also pops up on my phone saying, "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone," even though the iHome iA91 lists the iPhone 4 as compatible.  On top of that, it worked when I first got the iHome and now it suddenly will not play my phone.  The volume bar on the iPhone also randomly disappears and returns while it's docked.
    I have tried resetting my phone (home+power), I have restored my phone to stock, I have power cycled the iHome, all to no avail.  The iHome speakers will still play the radio and alarms work as usual, and my phone charges without issues.
    I'm getting quite frustrated and am desperately seeking an answer.  Thanks in advance to everyone who reads or replies.

    Hi Adam,
    Try the steps mentioned below to resolve the issue:
    1. Disconnect iPhone from Docking System, restart both the System and the iPhone and then reconnect iPhone to the System.
    2. If this didn't helps, try resetting both the units. You can reset the Docking System by pressing RESET at base using pin pointed object like paper clip.
    3. Also, try updating iPhone and to latest version and check if that helps.
    NOTE: If iPhone has the case or cover, the device may not be set correctly. Remove the case or cover from the iPhone and set the device again.
    If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accepted Solution".
    Thank you for your post.

  • My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

    My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My ipad touch wont play music, an arrow flashes by the battery icon, which is charged and it just reverts back to the selected song without playing...what can i do to fix this?

    Help!
    My ipad touch wont play music, an arrow flashes by the battery icon, which is charged and it just reverts back to the selected song in a second without playing...what can i do to fix this?  thanks, joe

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
