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

WRT610N Your computer is not connected to a Router
Bought used WRT610N. Wired connection has been working great since I plugged it in, but have not been able to get other desktop (with G adapter - Netgear WPN311) or new laptop (with N adapter) to get on internet.
Was just able to get laptop on internet, but still can't get other desktop on.
Network magic (on wired computer) ends with "Your computer is not connected to a router."
Checking the Help for this situation:
1. My ISP is a WISP, and I have no modem. Only thing inside house is ethernet cable and a power connection for it. The router IS connected between entry point and computer.
2.This is strictly a home network, not a public one.
3.I find IP address of 192.168.1.100 as Start address in DHCP when I get into manual set-up.
I have re-set router for 30 seconds.
Firmware looks to be 2.00.00 B05
I can access manual set-up at 192.168.1.1
I have two desktops. Wired is XP64, other one that won't connect is XP SP2 (32bit), and laptop is Win7. Laptop is now working on Internet.
Desktop that won't connect does not "see" the network. I right-click the icon and no networks show up in "Choose a Wireless Network". This computer sits about 25-30 feet from the router, with one wall between.
Where would I go from here? I know nothing about networking, and not enough about computers, but am good at following directions, step-by-step.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks.Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Open the setup page of the router. Click on Wireless tab and set the configuration view to 'Manual'. Change the wireless network name SSID ( create a new wireless network ). Change the wireless channel to 11. Save the settings.
Go to Wireless security sub and change the wireless security modem to WPA/WPA2. Enter the password for the wireless network. Save the settings.
Click on Wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
Go to Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.
Now try to connect to the new wireless network and see if that works. -
Hi!
I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now, and I haven't really had any problems since iOS7 was installed. I had a PC, with no connectivity problems between any of my Apple devices. Then FINALLY, I purchased my very first Macbook Air 13". I set it all up, updated all the apps, and made sure it was good to go. My iPhone was really low on battery one day, and I just happened to have my USB for it handy and thought I would just plug it into my computer to charge it. I figured I worry about syncing it later as I hadn't really had time to set it all up with iTunes on the new computer.
MY PHONE WENT CRAZY. It just started vibrating all over the table. Looking at the battery icon, it was flipping between charging and not charging, and occasionally the "do you trust this device" window would pop up on the screen, but it was still going crazy. iTunes opened up and these alerts saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." and "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." All it was doing at this point was using up even more battery. But then the iPhoto app opened by itself on my shiny new Macbook and the vibrating stopped. It was charging and syncing! But not having iPhotos before on a computer weirded me out i hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do with it, I closed the app. The phone went nuts again. ***. On a different day, I was trying to sync it again, and it worked. But only long enough to back it up on the macbook. W.T.F.
Plugging into any PC is no problem at all. The phone just connects and starts charging.
I've tried just about everything. All of my software is up to date, both on the mac and iphone. The USB cord is fine. I've reset the macbook with it plugged in and not plugged in. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes with the phone plugged in and not plugged in. I've reset all the contents and settings on my iPhone, as well as did a hard reset with it plugged in and not plugged in. My iPad has no problem connecting and it also has iOS7. It's just so weird though, that it starts connecting/disconnecting interchangeably as soon as I plug it into the computer, even when all my apps are closed. All this is leading me to believe that it must be some sort of issue between the devices' communication to each other. But I'm not sure if it's an iPhone, MacBook, or iTunes issue!
HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub. -
I am attempting to connect to a Microsoft Sharepoint library, via the "Actions -> Open in Windows Explorer" option from the Sharepoint page. When I do so, I get the error message "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer". In short, I am trying to get the "drag and drop" functionality of a Sharepoint library.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit and IE8. The target Sharepoint environment is a MOSS 2007 EE. My Windows "WebClient" service is running, and I have no problem connecting to this exact library via a Windows XP computer running IE8.Verify that the Webclient is started automatically from the Services.msc
Verify that your Portal is in the Intranet local security zone (You can reach it from Your Internet Explorer Browser Security Tag) if not add it to the list
restart the WebClient service if it's work good
If not you have to create a network share to your portal URL directly not your documents library.
Open Windows Explorer or My Computer from the Windows Start Menu.
From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive…. A new Map Network Drive window opens.
In the Map Network Drive window, choose an available drive letter from the dropdown list located next to the "Drive:" option. Any drives already mapped will have a shared folder name displayed inside the dropdown list, next to the drive letter.
Type the name of the folder to map wich is in this case your SharePoint Portal URL (Don't include the documents libraries)
Click the "Reconnect at login" checkbox if this network drive should be mapped permanently. Otherwise, this drive will un-map when the user logs out of this computer.
If the remote computer that contains the shared folder requires a different username and password to log in, click the "different user name" hyperlink to enter this information.
Click Finish.

ITunes could not connect to this ipad. Could not allocate a resource
I updated my itunes to work with the new IOS7 and all of sudden, ever i device I own will no longer work with itunes.
Every device, my ipad, my iphone, my wifes iPhone, my kids iPads, all say "iTunes could not connect to this iPad (or iPhone if it's a phone, etc). Could not allocate a resource.
I'm not sure what's causing it and I'm not finding any posting while searching google, etc, for info about this. Most of the postings are back from 2012 with nothing new. I tried the 2012 suggestions and that did not fix anything. At this moment, I have a ton of i devices that can't add music or anything to them as they are not seen by iTunes either directly connected to the computer or when on the same wireless network and connected to 110v power.
I do see some other posts on the apple support pages but the only solution seems to be deleting the files in the lockdown folder and that does not resolve the issue for me.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.ok, this worked for me:
1. Remove "iTunes" from your dock
2. Empty The trash bin
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/ca/itunes/download/
4. Install (reinstall effectively)
5. Connect your device.
I also turned off all devices (Airplane mode is fine) before starting any of this - not sure it helped, but it didnt hurt.
Hope that that works! -
When i opened up my mega pc 180 i noticed a loose wire with a label "remote" on it. As you may have figured out, my remote doesn't work. Where to connect this wire and does this solve my problem?
(I dled girder and the msi plug in but i couldn't get that to work yet)First, note that the remote only works when your PC is turned off for the WiFi (not sure about the girder plugin, as I do not have it installed).
Here is a link to the Mega 865 PC Motherboard manual: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
The only wire I can see in my system says 'tv remote', and it is not connected. This was not connected on my first 865 either, and I'm not sure where it should be connected, but, I do know that it does not 'have' to be connected in order for your remote to work, because my remote does work. -
i bought my ipad from ksa and am from egypt .. my ipad connected to the itunes in ksa but from someone else laptop and i came here to egypt and it says itunes could not connect to this ipad becuz an unknown error :S what should i do please someone tell me !!?
Your iPad is syncd with iTunes on your computer and your iTunes account controls what's in your iPad. Previously it must have been sync'd with another person's iTunes account in which case you need to completely clear it out to make it your own.
Go to Settings > General > Reset (at bottom) > Erase All Content and Settings
Then plug it into your computer and restore it with YOUR iTunes account.
Or if your have an iTunes account already setup under your name with your own apps and media -
Plug it into your computer, open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically and on your iPad page, click Restore
Let it proceed. Then the iPad will no longer be looking for someone else's account. -
When I set up a guest network on my time capsule nothing can not connect to this network
I have an airport time capsule and I set up a guest network on it. This network is visible, but I can not connect to this using my mac, windows lap tops iPhone and samsung galaxy note 4.
Actually the TC is the main router, but the problem is when I put this on NAT DHCP mode
The device that you call your "modem" is very likely a modem/router or gateway type of device that combines both the functions of a modem and router in one package.
The Guest Network feature will only work correctly when the TC connects to a pure modem.....not a modem/router or gateway.
To see if this is really your problem, please post back with the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem" so we can see exactly what you have. -

H E L PPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -

"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
This is the third time in a week I've had iTunes get stuck with a message saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected.".
I keep hitting "OK", but the message continues. Force quitting and then restarting iTunes does nothing. Force quitting and turning off my iPhone did nothing. I think I need to shut down my iPhone and then reboot. That's what I did the other two times.
Is there a permanent fix for this problem?It's an iTunes 12 bug... Not sure who's responsible for usbmuxd at Apple, but they should be fired! This was extensively discussed and worked out here: itunes 12 will not recognize iphone
All credit to oskapt, who's post detailed the entire issue. The short version is a recent version of usbmuxd has a programming error that leads it to never close any connection. At the same time, it's constantly making new connections too. The end result is this background process actually hits the built-in UNIX limit on open connections by a single process (to prevent bugs like this from ultimately crashing an entire computer), and is blocked by design from functioning after that point. Once usbmuxd fails, iTunes can't see your iOS devices.
The fix is to quit usbmuxd, either via Activity Monitor or Terminal. It will automatically relaunch, and work again until it hits the limit. That thread has several suggestions for automated scripts to run every 24-48 hours to prevent this. Hopefully an OS X or iTunes update will fix this, but it's been known for several months so far without any action on Apple's part. You'd think they'd want to make their flagship products actually "just work" together.
Then again, quality control at Apple has been going downhill for quite some time and is now getting pretty embarrassing. See this (somewhat off-the-cuff and hyperbolic) post by Marco Arment or this (more reasonable) post by Craig Hockenberry for the take of two third-party developers concerned for the drop in Apple's software quality lately.
Hope this fixes it! -
ITunes could not connect to this iPhone.....
This error message appears on a regular basis:
iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800007F).
And my iPhone 4S rarely syncs over wifi, even when plugged in with A/C power adapter.I I have just tried stopping my AVG anti-virus software, stopping iTunes, then removed the iPhone drivers, re-booting my system with all the AVG services disabled, then pluging the iPhone back in to the system to allow the drivers to install without AVG.
Will see if this helps.
Rather than un-installing and re-installing iTunes, just open the Task Manager and select the Process tab. Stop the ATH.exe process.
Plug your iPhone back in and iTunes will recognize the phone. -
Places: "Your computer is not connected to the Internet"
Hi All,
When my MacBook goes to sleep while running Aperture, sometimes my Places view wakes up with "Your computer is not connected to the Internet". Even after I reconnect, the map refuses to use the Internet. I can actually perform place searches using the query in the upper right, but when I click on one of the "Google results" nothing happens because, well, "Your computer is not connected..."
This doesn't happen with every sleep, though. Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a useful pattern to get Places to reconnect?
thanks,
nathan
PS, yes, I will be reporting this bug to the Aperture team.I have the same problem with Aperture on my Macbook with Lion.
