  • My remote will not connect to my Apple TV!

    I cannot get my remote to connect to my apple tv. I had hooked up the remote app and am able to use my iPad to connect but my remote will not connect. We thought it was the battery but I got a new one and it still won't connect.
    HELP!!
    thanks!Michael

    I would love to do that. My remote does not react when I try to pair it. I get nothing. Ive tried to do the reset where you hold the menu and the FF buttons for six secs and nothing.
    Ive changed the battery. nothing is working.
    I don't know what to do.
    It was working fine before, then it just stopped.
    thanks!

  • My windows PC will not connect with Apple express

    My windows XP PC will not connect to Apple Express.

    Which exact model of AirPort Express do you have? Which wireless security type is it configured for? Does your Windows XP PC support this type? Can the PC connect if you disable wireless security on the AirPort?

  • If your remote will not connect, read this, it will most likely help you.

    If your remote is not connecting, I can almost guarantee it is because you need to forward the ports on your router necessary to control it. I've suggested it to MANY people, and it has helped 100% of them. You need to forward ports TCP 3689 and UDP 5353.
    If you don't know how to do this go to the website www.portforward.com, and click "Guides". Then, under Port Forwarding", click "Port Forwarding Guides by Router".
    It doesn't matter if you're using a PC (which I am), or a Mac (which many of you are), this is more than likely what you need to do.
    And for those of you who have had no problem whatsoever: I'd make sure your security is enabled. If it's not, yer in for a world of hurt if someone finds that out.
    Please reply if this helped you, or if you need some more information. I will check back at 9:00PM Central when I get off work.

    This is the exact same problem i am experiencing, wired pc, into router that also provides the wireless connection for my iphone. I get no device popping up in itunes when trying to add a library in remote.
    I have added the port forwards to my router with no joy, disabled any and all software firewall/av, no joy.
    Its quite frustrating as i can get to my laptop's library just fine (laptop is wireless), i've even tried at work and can get over wireless via an access point onto the network and my pc there is wired in.
    I can only guess it is my router doing something stupid, or because it is running as a gateway and router, or something.
    Any other info would be great

  • My keynote remote will not connect from my iPhone 5s to my iMac after updating to iOS 8.1

    I updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1 earlier today and now my remote for Keynote will not connect with my iMac Keynote. I had a presentation tonight and it didn't work. I tried rebooting the phone and it still does not work. Any ideas? (I have Yosemite on my computer and it worked fine with iOS 8.02)

    This question is posted regularly, the remedy is to unlink Keynote Remote in Mac Keynote:
    Keynote > Preferences > Remote, then re-establish the link.

  • IPhone 4 will not connect to Apple

    No matter how hard I try, or how many times I try I cannot get my sister in law's iPhone 4s to update it's software to 5.1  Despite it being connected to a strong wireless signal that I managed to update mine from on my laptop, it downloads the update but then says '"........s iPhone cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable."
    I have been trying to update my brother in law's iphone 4 from 4.3.2 to 5.0.1 also for over a month, when I go around and visit, was always the same message. I thought it may have been his phone.
    I feel I am missing something fairly basic here. The phones download the updates in iTunes, they backup, iTunes extracts the software update, but it gives in when it's time to connect to Apple and verify the update. Doesn't matter how many times I try it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • HT1947 Apple Remote will not connect

    So I have tried everything on the help article but nothing seems to work. Whenever I try to connect my remote to itunes, it doesnt work. I tried putting the password in but everytime I do, it just says that the password I entered was incorrect. I've tried this many times to the same result. In addition, I have tried setting it up with Homesharing as well, but that as also not worked. I've tried everything on the help articles, so anything besides that would be helpful!

    I have the same problem with two new Macs (iMac 24 Alum and MacMini Core2). Interestingly, it works if the ScreenSaver is in "Test" mode. But once the Screen Saver is activiated "for real" the Apple Remote gives me the same problem you have. I predict/hope that this will be resolved in an update soon.

  • Iphone remote will not connect to itunes

    I have the downloaded iTunes 11 and the latest Remote App last night with hopes my problem would be resolved.  For about 6 months I have not been able to connect my iphone 4S (6.0.1) to my imac.  I've restarted the router, phone and computer are on the same network.  iTunes sees the iphone, when the iphone issues the 4 digit security code, I am prompted on my mac for the code.  I enter it.  I get the confirmation page on the mac that I can now control iTunes using this remote.  However, I can not.  When I open the remote on my phone, I receive an error that it could not find the library.  Firewall is off, I've re-tried multiple times, I've triple checked the correct home sharing ID.  I've restarted the phone, the computer, the router..sigh.  This worked flawless for some time.  It still works with my iPad, just my iphone is out.  Any thoughts out there?

    I have the same issue. I'm using a 3GS and a Win7 computer.

  • Remotes will not work with Apple TV

    I am so very frustrated with my Apple TV right now. It has worked flawlessly for over a year, using both the Apple TV remote and the Apple remote on my iPhone.
    A couple of weeks ago, my ATV Remote stopped working, but I figured it was the battery. I happily continued with the iPhone Remote, but then yesterday that also stopped working. I replaced the ATV Remote, but still no luck. I have tried re-pairing the ATV and ATV Remote, but get no flashes of confirmation.
    I finally hooked up the ATV to my PC via Firewire and restored it to original. I hooked it back up to my TV and it came on with all of channels that I am used to seeing. However, STILL no communication between either of the remotes.
    If I had not recently purchased a great speaker set for the ATV television (main room), I would just chuck it and get another Roku, but I would miss my iTunes music soooo much.
    Can anyone help???

    Thanks, Vazndrew, for the reply.
    As a last resort, today I deleted the remote app from my 5S, reinstalled it, but I am still getting the message: "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account XXXXX.com"
    Since the beginning of this fiasco, I have turned Home Sharing on and off and on again in iTunes on my computer, and verified it is also turned on on my 5S. I have no idea how to turn it on in the ATV since I cannot get a remote to work. Hooking it up to the PC does not seem to give that option either.
    Not sure if I should see it or not, but hooked up to the the PC, in iTunes the ATV does not show as a device.

  • 10.6.8 Bluetooth will not connect to Apple keyboard

    I just upgraded to 10.6.8 and my Apple keyboard, which came with the iMac, can't be recognized by the iMac. My old bluetooth keyboard from my old G5 iMac is recognized and works OK. The little green light on the upper left side of the keyboard just keeps blinking. In the keyboard setup it just keeps searching for the keyboard. Anyone have any ideas to get the new keyboard to connect?

    Yes. It's a golden rule to never underestimate the power of coincidence, always expect the unexpected, and that whatever is extremely unlikely will happen at some point.
    That's stood me in good stead for 35+ years in IT, but I still kick myself sometimes for overlooking the cause of a simple problem.
    Glad you're up & running and that all's well.

  • The light on the front of my Appletv keeps blinking and it will not connect

    My Apple TV version 3 shut down a few days ago in the middle of watching a movie and it was flashing continuously
    I could not get it to work at all I tried resetting it,  all I got was a Macintosh apple logo on my TV screen
    and nothing else.  I had no connection to my iMac with Air Parrot software, or from my new macbook Air with Airplay.
    Airplay was no longer visible to select on my macbook Air.
    So I connected it to my Mac desktop, using USB and a power cord, to reset it back to factory defaults, as directed by Apple.
    This took approx 90 mins to complete, then I had to set it up again…….BUT I cannot get it to work it refuses to 
    accept any password, and I have updated to a new password today but it will not accept it….
    I presumed,  I use the same Apple ID username & password that I use for iTunes and iMac etc for my Apple TV also ?
    or does Apple TV have a different username & password ?
    any ideas
    Thanks

  • Remote 2.0 will not connect with iTunes

    I have been trying to resolve this issue for many days and I can't find a solution that works anywhere.
    I have a PC running vista and iTunes 10 on a wireless home network. Remote 2.0 is on my iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1. I can't get iTunes to recognize that the remote app is running. When Remote shows the four digit passcode to enter - the remote will not show up in iTunes. I managed to connect the two once - but when I tried to repeat the connection immediately afterward it didn't work.
    -I have the Apple remote ports open through the firewall (disabling the McAffee firewall doesn't change anything anyway)
    -The devices ARE on the same network (I can connect to Air Sharing via windows explorer)
    -iTunes is checked to "look for remotes"
    -It doesn't matter whether I try to connect using Home Sharing or not
    -I have tried to "Forget all remotes/connections" in iTunes and the iPhone.
    Any ideas as to what is going on? I know it can work because it did once - but only once.

  • Remote app on my iphone 5 will not connect to itunes

    The remote app stopped working on my iphone 5 and will not connect to itunes. Home sharing is on on itunes and adding new library on my remote iphone app results in veryfying passcode results in the following message on itunes 'the pascode you have entered is incorrect'. I have the feeling that the library is already added but will not connect. Any suggestions are deeply appreciated!

    I had the same problem. Reinstalled everything and still nothing. Came across this article:
    5 Simple Tricks to Get iTunes to Recognize an iOS Device
    Quit and relaunch iTunes
    Connect the iOS device to a different USB port on the computer
    Reboot the iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    Reboot the computer
    Use a different syncing cable (if possible)
    I changed my syncing cable and it worked! Try that if all else is failing.
