Unable to pair Remote with iTunes

Hi, I am unable to pair Remote app to iTunes via both Home Sharing and Add an iTunes Library (via passcode).
I am using Remote version 4.0 (748) on iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 5s and iTunes version 11.1.3.8 on Windows 8.
Both my iPhone and my Windows computer are connected to the same home network via wifi. I have signed in to the same account (the one used to access iCloud and App Store downloads) on my iPhone's Remote app as the one I used to sign in to iTunes' Home Sharing on Windows.
I have read this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12357. I can neither find the "Remote button" on iTunes on Windows that allows me to type the 4 digit passcode, nor get the link established via signing in to home sharing. I have also taken a conscious effort to allow both inbound and outbound traffic on TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353.
I have attached some screenshots for clarity:
Thank you.

I have the exact same problem. Have you found a solution?

Unable to pair Apple Wireless Keyboard in OS X 10.5.8

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here so if I mess it up, pls don't dog me too much...
I'm currently running OS X Tiger on a Dual PowerMac G5 2GHz with 3GB of RAM and all is well with the world. However, in an attempt to upgrade and become familar (more so) with OS X10.5 I've found that I am unable to pair with my wireless keyboard. I'm running 10.5 on a seperate drive. It sees the dongle, just won't pair with it. The Bluetooth dongle I'm using works fine in OS X 10.4.11, has for years. Any clues, is there something I'm missing?
I've read about Bluetooth issues with Leopard so I thought I would see if i could find an answer here. The keyboard is the original Apple wireless keyboard that came out a few years ago, Model M9270LL/A.

I don't think you're following me very well Mr Williams. I appreciate your attempt to assist and hopefully I won't come across as an **** here but, you're not helping. I will agree you, it seems to be a software issue...and it's called Leopard!
Let me explain something. I have not migrated this system, as per se, and for obvious reasons. The system has 2 HDD's. One has 10.4.11 on it and the other HDD has 10.5.8 installed. I can go from one to the other and it's the way I will continue to work until this problem has been resoved, if ever. I can NOT be productive without the Mac running, regardless of which OS. I'm attempting this because I have apps that must have Leopard, so I'm trying to make it work.
Just to be clear, I gave-up running OS X 10.3 several years ago but did not do so without kicking and screaming the entire way. Now, I'm comfortable with Tiger and I'm very glad I upgraded, as it's a much more stable OS but at this rate I'm about ready to give-up. I don't need Leopard and I don't want it, nor do I like the look and feel of it, I just wanted to try and attempt to upgrade and see if I could run some newer apps that won't run on Tiger. I will probably NEVER upgrade to an Intel Mac, even if I could afford to do so. And I will NEVER run Micro$oft Windoze on a Macintosh...period - EVER! That to me is just sacrilege...so just call me a purist, I care not. If I want to run that OS I'll do it on a PeeCee.
Back to the dicussion.
I'm typing this reply on the PowerMac running 10.4.11 using the keyboard in question and my Bluetooth dongle. And YES, the keyboard is the older, white keyboard. Did I not share the model # in the original post, Apple Keyboard model M9270LL/A ? Did you not Google that if you're not familiar with these Model numbers?
You said, "...Another thought: did you "unpair" the keyboard from the old system before trying to pair it with the new one?..." What exactly does that mean? That's makes no sense at all. "Can you "see" the keyboard in the bluetooth setup window when trying to set it up or not?" What does my original post say?? YES, I can see the keyboard in OS X 10.5.8, I just can not pair with it.
As a last resort I have installed the Apple Aluminum Keyboard Update, as per your suggestion, even though I don't have an aluminium keyboard and this 'update' installed successfully but my keyboard, although seen will still not pair with the dongle. I will NOT go buy a Al Keyboard just to test this issue. The only thing I've thought about purchasing is the Bluetooth module so that I don't need to use a dongle, but those are expensive and often hard to find. I have also removed the prefs file from /user/Library with no effect.
I almost forgot. I also have another BT dingle from Kensington and although the system sees it as does the other, it does not pair with the keyboard either. That dongle works fine on my PeeCee laptop without any problems, so both dongles are functioning correctly. Do you have any other suggestions you would like to share?
Thank you for your time.

IOS 8.3 update leaves me unable to pair a Configurator-supervised iPhone

I've used Apple Configurator to supervise an iPhone 6, in part to prevent the phone from pairing with any computer but my own (a MacBook Air 11" from 2013 running OSX 10.9). I updated the phone to iOS 8.3, changed nothing else, and now the phone won't pair with my own computer or any other. As the screen cap shows, I get the error: "This iPhone is supervised by another computer and cannot be used with this computer." The iPhone apparently does not recognize that it is in fact attached to the supervising computer.
I checked the pair-lock records in /var/db/lockdown and they're just as they were. (I was following instructions there from this post.) I archived the lockdown folder, restored from a backup, and got the same result. I've rebooted both the Mac and the iPhone. No joy.
I do NOT want to wipe the iPhone and start again. For security reasons I do not back up my data to iCloud; I use only USB local sync and backup the computer securely. I do have a very recent backup on the computer, but of course I cannot restore it to a phone that refuses to pair.
I did use Configurator to set up a password on the iPhone that can remove the supervision profile. I can delete the profile and then connect to my Mac.
BUT: If I do that I'm pretty sure I can't set up supervision again without erasing everything from the phone. After erasing and supervising the phone, I don't think I can restore from the backup. Doing so, as I understand it, will either (1) remove the newly installed supervision profile or (2) restore the now-in-use supervision profile that does not recognize my Mac as the supervisor.
The most painful loss, if I have to wipe the phone, would be my hundreds of keyboard shortcuts. I know from extensive research that they cannot be restored, even with third party tools, from an iPhone backup.
Please, someone, help me restore the pairing of my iPhone to my Mac without wiping the phone.

Solved it, so I may as well say so here for the record. I don't know that all this was necessary but I:
- updated from OSX 10.9.5 to Yosemite (not enough on its own; launched iTunes and still no pair)
- updated Apple Configurator
- launched Configurator -- and it saw the iPhone. I quit without doing anything else
- launched iTunes -- this time it paired as usual with the phone
It may be I could have simply launched Configurator in 10.9.5, but I didn't try that first.

Bluetooth speaker - JBL Flip . Bluetooth discovers it but is unable to pair

The speaker is recognized as JBL Flip and says ready to pair. I click on it and click on pair. It fails and disappears. The bluetooth continues to search and finds it again... and I get the same results. It works when directly plugged into speaker jack.

HT5639 unable to pair my iphone 4s to my mac using bluetooth been to apple store who have told me there is a clitch and to wait for undates to cure the problem ?

unable to pair my iphone 4s to my mac using bluetooth been to apple store who have told me there is a clitch and to wait for undates to cure the problem ?

I have my iPhone 4S paired with my macbook retina, so hexonxonx's reply is incorrect.
After you pair your phone and your computer, go into network preferences on your computer. Click the bluetooth pan, check that you see your phone and click connect.
That worked for me.
If I click connect from the phone it tells me that my retina mbp isn't compatible and it forces me to forget this device. If this happens just repair it...
Good luck

"Lock Computer" under Windows XP professional

hi,
My Swing app needs to be notified when a user "Locks" the computer using CTRL+ALT+DEL combination and then clicking the "Lock Computer" button.
I need to know even if the computer gets automatically locked via the screen saver. Can I do this at all ?

You would need JNI.
JDIC has an incubator project, SystemInfo, this has a org.jdesktop.jdic.systeminfo.SystemInfo
.isSessionLocked() you could poll.
To quote kajbj, why do you need to know that?

FYI The latest update wipe out my Windows user info resulting in a locked computer. had to restart in safe mode and restore my system. Basiclly it killed my whole computer. If I was not a programmer , fixing it would have been nearly impossible.

The new apple itunes update . corrupted or deleted my user profile in Windows 7 home premium.resulting in a locked computer with no way of getting into windows.

Never heard of that happening before and given the way the OS works that should not be possible. Sounds like something was awry with your computer before you started the process.
What program did you write to fix it and in what language? You might want to share this with Microsoft so they can look into it further.

Unable to pair ipad 3 and apple wireless keyboard

I own an Ipad 3 but am unable to pair it with my apple wireless keyboard. I bought it in Sept 2012 same day with keyboard. Both paired without issues daily. Once I downloaded the recent ios 6 update i've been unable to connect my keyboard with my ipad. The apple keyboard still pairs with my macbook pro and my iphone 4.

Lrlandés-
I never tried my function keys before, but most are working under iOS 4.3.5. I get no response for F3, F4, F5 or F6. I suspect those may be App-specific.
What model keyboard is yours? Mine is MC184LL/A, according to the box it came in.

I am unable to close my computer...the message on the ipad says not enough icloud storage and go to settings. Unable to go to settings and it is frozen and unable to close down. How do I fix this for the button won't turn it off?

Don't try to turn the iPad off until you reboot.
On your iPad, Did you try holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears? If you didn't try it, go ahead and do it. Wait until the Apple logo appears on the iPad screen before you let go of the buttons.
