I have installed the remote app on my iPad 2 and when I touch add a library it says to open iTunes on the computer and select "iPad" on the device list. I did but it didn't do anything. Isn't it suppose to have you type in the pass code?

I really need help because it won't even do anything when I try it on my iPod touch 4th gen.

Did you turn on Home Sharing on your PC in iTunes? Advanced>Turn on Home Sharing. Then enter your Apple ID and password in Settings>Music>Home Sharing

  • TS1741 how can I use the remote app for my Apple TV when I am using the Apple TV away from home!?

    I'm traveling and using the Apple TV at the hotel but the remote app is not working cause I can't turn on home sharing from my p&c, cause its not here

    Most hotels tend to require a login to the network via browser, which the ATV doesn't have. You won't be able to access the network for any functions if that's the case.
    You may want to contact someone at the hotel to clarify.

  • How do I connect the remote app on my iDevice to my computer?

    I've seen this question asked plenty of times and have followed all of the suggested fixes and still cannot figure this out.
    I am running Windows 8, with iTunes version 11.0.5
    My iDevice is an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.1.3
    My Remote app is version 3.0.1
    On the Remote app, all I see (other than the settings icon) is
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or Apple TV using the account (my account name)
    I have turned on Home Sharing for both iTunes, as well as my iPhone.
    I have went to "Settings>Music>Turn on Home Sharing" This is on.
    I have opened iTunes and went to "File>Home Sharing>Turn Home Sharing on."
    I have opened the remote app. "Settings" Home Sharing is on.
    Each of these are using the same Apple ID.
    I have tried deleting the app and redownloading it.
    I have tried restarting my computer.
    I have tried exiting/signing out of iTunes.
    I have tried turning my phone off, and back on again.
    I have checked my firewall settings, and iTunes is allowed.
    Both my PC, and my iPhone are connected to the same network. The iPhone wirelessly, and my desktop is hardwired.
    I have seen many other people say "Where is the remote button?" With the reply "There is no remote button."
    I have not found this button either. When I go onto the Remote app on my iPhone and go to settings, there is an option to "Add an iTunes Library."
    When I press this, I get a four digit code and the message, "To add an iTunes library, open iTunes on your computer and select "Don's iPhone" from the Devices list."
    When going to iTunes "File>Devices" I get the following.
    Sync. Transfer Purchases. Back Up. Restore From Backup.
    I have read in other related posts that your iDevice is supposed to show up on the top right of the screen, next to the iTunes Store button.
    This does not happen for me, unless I plug in my iDevice via USB.
    I have also read that the "Remote" button is supposed to be located here, but I cannot find one.
    In the iTunes "Help>iTunes Help>Search Remote>Use the Remote app to control your iTunes library>Pair Remote with an iTunes library" It states:
    Tap Remote on your device’s Home screen.
    Tap Add an iTunes Library.A 4-digit code appears.
    Open iTunes on your computer and click the Remote button .
    Type the 4-digit code in the iTunes window.iTunes pairs the library on your computer with the Remote app on your device."
    Of course, I cannot find this Remote button as mentioned before. I have run out of option on what I know to do, and what suggestions I have found to try.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Thank you for the reply.
    ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
    ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
    When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
    I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

  • Where is the remote button located in iTunes 11 to input the 4 digit code given by the Remote App?

    Under the help section for connecting the Apple Remote App for the iPhone to an iTunes library, it says to open iTunes and click on the "remote button." I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find it. Does anyone know where it is?

    I got the same issue and found that the home sharing could work in windows...
    After some research........after configure the network settings of below.....It's work for me !!!
    Check the Network
    A general rule to fix the network problem is to restart your home network router. If the problem remains, you can try switch IP4 to IP6. To do so: Open Control Panel > Choose Network and Internet > Select the View network status and tasks under the Network and Sharing Center section > Choose your active network connection > Click the Properties button > If Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) is checked, uncheck it, then click OK > Restart iTunes and check if iTunes Home Sharing will work.

  • TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes.  All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App.  They all did before.  Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes.  Any Ideas?

    Installed a new Windows PC on my home network.  PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit.  My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now.  None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on.  All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app.  When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code.  I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices.  You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to.  Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before.  However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV.  Growing fustrated.  Any ideas, would be helpful.

    You are a legend!!  I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!!  I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!!  Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
    Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 

  • HT1338 I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?

    I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?  If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

    Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
    I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
    If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
    I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

  • It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

    It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
    I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

    What?
    You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
    And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
    No, this will not work.
    Just create a network with your notebook.

  • HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

    Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • How to not have songs duplicates in app remote? I have playlists for my iphone and playlists for my pc. All songs of my iphone are also on my mac. When i use the remote app, it plays everything in double.

    Dear all,
    I am using itunes to control all my music and i like to use my iphone, or my ipad to control my music with the remote app.
    But i have a problem: all the music i have in my iphone count as double play.
    To explain everything since the beginning, i personally don't like and don't trust at all the music sync capability of itunes.
    So i have my music on my pc, and i load every type of music as a single playlist (ex a Pop-Rock folder, with all artists folders and so on, makes me a Pop-Rock playlist).
    For my iphone, i created a iphone music folder, with the same classification.
    It means that i don't have all my Pop-Rock music, only a selection. But of course the selected music appears also in my complete music collection.
    So in itunes i created a folder playlist named iphone music, with inside one playlist by type of music (exemple : Pop-Rock, which contains some files of my main Pop-Rock collection).
    So i do have duplicates in my hard drive. But when i selected the playlists to be shared on home sharing in itunes, i selected only the main playlists, not my iphone playlists! But still, when i look for ACDC artist for example, i should see only what i have on my pc, not what i have also on my iphone.
    The result is if i play an album for example Back In Black (i have it full on my hard drive, and full on my iphone too), then every song is displayed in remote app in double, and also played in double:
    Here is how it is displayed:
    Song 1
    Song 1
    Song 2
    Song 2
    So the remote app plays Song 1 one time, then Song 1 (the second Song 1) one time and continues like this to Song 2 etc...
    I guess that if i put my selection of songs on my ipad, i will then have everything in triple....
    It is very annoying. Is there a way for me to change that? Or for an update to be made (based on ID3 Tag) to not play everything twice or more? It would have an ID3 Tag No Double toggle button.
    I don't want to select from my main music to send elements to my iphone as doing that i lost a lot of music multiple times. This way of doing is not safe at all (at least for me).
    What is possible to do? Is there room for improvement here (i believe so). Is there a way for me to avoir this very annoying effect?
    I would really like to put my music to my iPad2 also, but after i'll have triple play....
    Thank you for your help.

    Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
    Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

    I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?
    Mats

    I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

  • How can I set the Remote app to work if I have lost my apple remote?

    I lost my remote to my Apple TV and I can't go into town to get another at the moment because there was a lot of snow and ice here. So, I'm wondering how I can set my iPhone 5 up as a remote using the remote app without the normal remote. I know the remote app used to auto-connect to the Apple TV, but since recent updates, you have to set it up as a remote on the actual Apple TV itself. Is there a way to get around this? Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Dylan.
    There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.
    If you already have homesharing set up on the Apple TV, you merely need to set it up in the remote app settings.

  • I bought a second apple tv and would like to control it with the remote app but cannot find a way to add a second device.  Anyone have an idea how to do that?

    I bought a second apple tv and would like to control it with the remote app but cannot find a way to add a second device.  Anyone have an idea how to do that?

    I'm having the same issue and would like to get some help.  I set up a second Apple TV in our bedroom and wanted to be able to control it using my iPhone like I do with the Apple TV in the living room.  The new Apple TV is active on the network and I've made sure the same Apple ID is used for both the Apple TV as well as the Remote App on my iPhone.  I'm just wondering what I might be overlooking.
