IPad2 not finding Library but iPod Touch Does

Hi Guys
Like many on the various Apple Help Forums I an still having problems getting the Remote App to work on my iPad2.
I have found that I can enter the 4 digit code but I can only do this if I connect myWindows7 based PC to the router by a wireless dongle, if I connect by a cable connection I do not get my iPad show up in the devices section of iTunes and do not get the option to add the 4 digit code.
So with the PC on the wireless network I add the 4 digit code the remote app then starts looking for my Library and then displays "Could not find"
I also have access to an iPod Touch and if I do the same the remote app will find my Library and I am able to control it.
I have checked all the settings on both the iPad2 and the Ipod Touch and every thing is set the same.
I have tried it with the PC's Firewall turned on and off and that makes no difference.
Why ho why will my iPad not find the Library when the iPod will.
One othe thing I have noticed is the option to search for remotes in iTunes is no longer there in the prefrences but it does show that I am paired with 2 remotes.
Anyone got any other thoughts on why I am having this connection issue.
Thanks
Paul

All problems with the remote app are now resolved and its working fine on both my iPod Touch and my iPad2.
And the problem was !!!!!!
My Router, I was using the one supplied by my telecoms provider (TalkTalk) as soon as I replaced it with a Linksys one everything worked first time.
And there was me blaming Apple.

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    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
    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.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • IPhone shuffles custom playlist, but iPod touch does not.

         I have an iPhone 3GS and an 2G iPod touch and I have a custom Smart Playlist full of music from the 1980’s and was wondering why my playlist on my iPod touch appears just as it does in iTunes but on my iPhone it is all shuffled?
    However, I look at the playlist on the phone in iTunes and it appears as it does in the list and if there was a way during the sync I can tell iTunes or the phone to put the music in the order that it is on the playlist in iTunes?
    Are there AppleScripts available for iTunes that do what I want or will I just have to deal with it? This is really frustrating because I want the phone to mirror the playlist as it is not shuffle it.
    What is going on?

    If you have it set to sync (not manual), the +Recently Added+ playlist is one of the playlists you have set to sync (on the +Music tab+), and the missing podcasts are on the iPod, that's about all I can think of asking.
    You may want to try doing a Restore to erase and initialize the iPod touch.

    Yes they can, you are correct. I should have maybe said that in my post. I was merely trying to say that I believe they want to keep the iPhone more organized. I got out of dragging and dropping to my iPod after I created my first playlist. Makes things a lot eaiser just to sync a list.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.

  • HT201210 My iPod touch does not respond, I tried to restore it from itunes but it did not work, itunes recognize it but the restore process seems to do nothing

    my iPod touch does not respond, I'm trying to restore from itunes but it does not work

    What exactly happens when yu ty to restore?
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch does not sync any info

    hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
    In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
    i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
    everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

    Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
    I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

  • Why exchange email will not work on my ipod touch, but ok on iphone

    Why will microsoft exchange email not work on my ipod touch, but with the exact same settings, it works fine on my iphone? What is the reason for this?

    Try a soft reset, press and hold both power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 15 seconds, then release both. If still no joy, go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, back up your iPod to your computer then do a Restore to Backup, if that doesn't work Restore to new through iTunes. If a full restore to new does not work, you may have a hardware issue, contact Apple Genius Bar to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

    I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods."  Here are my suggestions.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
