HT201272 Remote app to control iTunes no longer works

I use Remote app on all of my devices to control iTunes. I had to restore three iPods and now the Remote app cannot be installed from iTunes or the App Store. The error message says I need iOS 4.3. How do I find this software? iTunes says my iPods are up to date. The Remote App worked fine before with the existing software.

After digging around more, I was able to do what I was looking to do.  I installed iTunes on the machine downstairs, activated hom sharing.  Then used the Remote app on my phone, connected to iTunes downstairs, then went to "more" within the app... Then selected "shared", connected to the library upstaris... and Boom, its worked!

  • Ever since I updated to iTunes 11.2.2.3 the Remote app on the iPhone no longer works.

    Sometimes after deleting the library from the iPhone the library pairs with the Remote app but will not open the Windows 8.1 PC's iTunes library. It'll do nothing once added and then state that an error occurred.

    there used to be a dark gray "pad" area on the display of my phone in the remote app that I could use kinda like a track pad to move around the menus on the appletv, u could tap it, swipe it etc, that's gone cause it no longer sees my apple tv library, I can't find the library on the apple tv, is that cause homesharing isn't available and it only sees things thru homesharing?

  • The Remote App on my iPhone no longer works with my Apple TV 1st Gen

    I don't use it that often but when I want to, I want to...u know how it goes. Since one of the updates for the Remote app on the iPhone it no longer "sees" my 1st gen Apple TV, any ideas or am I SOL? Apple TV 1st gen doesn't do homesharing does it?

  • TS2972 I have signed in with same Apple ID & same network but still can't use Remote app to control my iTunes via iPhone 4s or iPad2.

    I have gone through FAQ and tried all methods and checked settings in my iMac and my iOS devices (iPhone 4s and iPad2) and still can't useRemore app to control iTunes. I have used this app without a problem before with my old iPhone 3 and it worked fine.
    What is wrong with it?

    Other than you have used it before and it worked - can you provide some more details? You don't see your iTunes library in the remote app?

  • Can't use the remote app to enter itunes password on apple TV

    the remote app on my iphone and ipad work really well as a remote control for my apple tv, however if I use the app to enter my Itunes password (typing it on the keyboard)it won't recognise it and I have to use the apple tv remote instead, any ideas?

    Don't have an answer, but this guy http://tidbits.com/article/12126 says you can do it, but doesn't explain how. I would love to know - using YouTube on Apple TV is a complete pain cos you have to enter your search terms using the Apple Remote and it takes forever.

  • Is there a remote app to control my apple tv that I can put on an old iPod touch using iOS 3?

    Is there a remote app to control my apple tv that I can put on an old iPod touch using iOS 3? The only remote app I can find is only comparable with an OS of 7.  Help please!

    Sadly but no.

  • ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system.  Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

    iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system.  Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114.  Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes.  iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • HT204368 after downloading ios7, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car)- but other programs (pandora) work just fine

    After downloading ios 7.02, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car), but other music apps work fine.  iTunes and iTunes radio work fine though headset and on speaker, but won't work through bluetooth.
    Anything that can be changed in 'settings' or with my iTunes so I can use it through my blue tooth?

    Hi, milljam7. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue.

  • Can I get apps from the iTunes Store to work on my MacBook Air?

    how do i get apps from the iTunes store to work on my macbook?

    Apps from the iTunes store are only for ios based devices. ie iPad or iPhone
    If you want an app for your Macbook use the App Store on the toolbar and you can purchase a mac version if it exists.

  • Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?

    Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?
    Picture added is not displayed in the finder ; when transfering the movie to an Ipad, it is not displayed either.
    iMac 27', Mavericks 10.9 + iTunes 11.1.2

    Working here just fine. Try reinstalling:
    Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT1329 My old computer with itunes no longer works.  If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose all the songs on the ipod?

    My old computer with itunes no longer works.  If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose the songs that are on it now?

    Yes, you will.
    Do you have the songs still?
    You could add them to your new library if you do.

  • The shuffle button in itunes no longer works

    the shuffle button in itunes no longer works. it used to work fine.

    That's weird.
    Here are some random thoughts, sorry if they're not too awesome.
    * Do you get the Manage Widgets window with no list in it? OR not even the window?
    * How long do you wait for your list to pop up? On my (admittedly ancient)
    powerbook, it may take a few seconds the first time I try it.
    * You might consider looking at the Console log messages (set to "All messages") to see if
    there are any error messages being generated when you ask to "Manage Widgets".
    * You might try removing all your widgets manually via the ~/Library/Widgets folder. This
    could be a workaround, I guess, too. But my thought is maybe there is a bad widget in there which is somehow clogging up the Manage Widgets thing.
