IPhone and iPad cannot connect via Remote to iTunes

I updated iTunes yesterday and today none of our iPhones or iPads can see the itunes library via Remote. I've gone through the troubleshooting. The best result I got was to get the icon to reappear on remote's devices list. But it won't connect when I select it. Eventually it stops looking and I get this message "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again." I've checked all the settings on all the devices. I've logged out and back in. I turned the router off and back on. I've turned home sharing off and back on. Network seems to be working fine for everything else. I have not checked if my Apple TV will work or not.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Fixed the problem - all I needed to do was power cycle my router. Schoolboy error!

IPhone and iPad cannot connect to iMac

I'm having trouble connecting my mobile devices to my iMac using Edge Inspect. Edge Inspect is running on my machine and in the browser (the icon is illuminated in the Chrome taskbar), but when I try and connect my iOS devices via the Edge Inspect app on each one, they cannot see my iMac and any attempts to use 'Manual Connect' (with any of the 3 IP addresses shown in the Chrome plugin's menu box) result in an error message:
"Connection unsuccessful, please try again."
I've got the latest versions of iOs and the Edge Inspect apps running on my iPhone and iPad, OS X 10.8.3, Chrome 26.0.1410.65 with the Edge Inspect plugin and the latest version of the Edge Inspect app running on my iMac, and have verified that port 7682 is open on my iMac. Edge Inspect is shown as allowing incoming connections via my firewall. I've tried restarting the Mac, to no avail.
TL;DNR: I've tried everything that I can find online to get the application to work, but my devices can't 'see' my iMac. Can anyone help?
(If it matters, I'm running a BT Home Hub 3.0 for my home network.)

Contacts on iPhone and iPad not connecting to iCloud

Just set up iCloud today to sync Contacts between MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. Initial setup worked ok. Now, MacBooks is working OK, but iPhone and iPad cannot connect to server. Open Contacts app and icon on status bar at top of screen just spins (for hours). Have tried to disable Contacts sync on iPhone, but but same behavior. Have tried to delete iCloud account on iPad...same. Have rebooted both devices...same. Any suggestions?

iCloud won't sync Gmail contacts, it will only sync iCloud contacts. If he wants to use Gmail for contacts, he should add his Gmail account to his Mac too. If all of the contacts on his phone are not appearing on his Mac after doing this, then some of them must not belong to the Gmail account and would need to be added to his Gmail contacts.
If he wants to use iCloud to sync his Gmail contacts instead, he can copy all of his contacts to iCloud as follows:
Go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud, but they are not sharing the information between devices ie if I purchase an app on one it does not transfer to the other although the backup is successful via iCloud.

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.

Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices. Go to
Settings>Store. Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
Settings>iCloud. Turn on the features you want to sync between devices.

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!

FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

My iPhone and iPad cannot recognize my Apple ID. I have changed the password three times. In the iCloud account says that my mail is not verified.

My iPhone and iPad cannot recognize my Apple ID. I have changed the password three times.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

My macbook pro can see my home wi-fi network but cannot connect to it. My iphone and ipad are connected to my home wi-fi so the problem is not the modem.

Wow, I tried to submit this as a problem and the computer lost the wifi connection again, so i lost the whole explanation i typed up.
I've turned off computer and modem multiple times.
When I tried to run the network diagnostic, the macbook pro gave me a "perhaps you are out of range error". I am sitting next to the modem.
My iphone and ipad are wonderfully connected to the home wifi network, so it cannot be the modem/router, correct?
If I am on the same floor as the router/modem then the macbook pro can see my home network but after tyoing in my password and trying to connect i get a "timed out" message.
If I move down one floor, then the macbook can see and connect to the wifi. I only have one modem on one floor.
Is there some sort of diagnostic I can run to see why this particular device (macbook pro) is behaving ths way? It just seems weird because the computer could connect to the wifi network yesterday while i was sitting next to the router.

SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

Mountain Lion Messages and other iPhone and iPads not connecting

Just downloaded Mountain Lion and have been trying to connect with the family on their iPhones and iPads. On the messaging page, it shows that they are offline, but when I check their phones, it looks like everything is ok.
Also tried to connect via iChat and it would start the process and ring and pop up but when you tried to connect, it would totally disconnect.
I dont know why their devices are showing off line and not receiving messages notes that I am sending

I had no idea my iPhone and iPad were connected and I deleted "notes" I had on phone they also were removed from iPad. Can these notes be retrieved? After this mess I will go downtown to apple store and learn how to use these devices.

I had no idea my iPhone and iPad were so connected. I deleted notes from iPhone as I had them on iPad. Well was I surprised to see they were gone from iPad also. Can these be retrieved?

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Jabber for iPhone and iPad cannot receive calls

We currently have Call Manager 9.1.1 and Presence 9.1.1.
I am starting to use the Jabber Client for iPhone and iPad, but am having trouble receiving calls dialed to a particular extension.
If I can go settings for the iPhone Jabber client as an example, I am succesffuly connected to all accounts: IM, Phone Services, Voicemail, and WebEx.
When I go to the keypad, I can succesffuly dial internal extensions and make outbound calls to any numbers and they come accross as using my extension.
When calling the extension, my desk phone rings, but not the Jabber client.
Not sure what could be causing this issue to occur for Jabber not receiving the calls.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Paul Gaydos

Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case. Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
thanks

My IPhone and iPad stopped connecting to home wifi. Other devices still connect.

My Iphone and IPad just stopped connecting to home Wifi; other divices still work including my IMac

Try resetting your wireless router and modem.
Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait 5 minutes followed by reconnecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before reconnecting the wireless router to the power source.

Iphone and Ipad loosing connection

Just switched from a Linksys router to a Airport Extreme and my iphone and ipad seem to have alot more problems staying connected to the Airport than they ever had with the Linksys. Before I never had it loose the network but it happens constantly now. Seems to be an issue much more when not in the same room but farther away in the house, but it does not seem to auto join back I have to manually log back in.
Is the Airport Extreme more sensitive to placement in the house? The Imac or other devices that are stationary and located nearby the extreme don't have this issue. But one of the reasons I went to the extreme was the supposed stronger signal strength but that seems to be the opposite of what I am experiencing.

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I am having problems connecting my iPhone 4 to my Time Capsule. Google "iphone time capsule custer," and look for the thread in the iPhone discussion area.
Good luck!

Why can I not hide iPhone and iPad app purchases made from my iTunes account using the Mac version of iTunes?

I have applications on my iPhone and iPad that I don't want to show up on the family sharing menu (i.e., kid inappropriate stuff). When I follow the instructions from apple support for hiding apps, my iPhone and iPad apps cannot be "X-ed" out by hovering the mouse over the app icons in iTunes. Why can't I hide these?

You should be able to hide them, it's just that the 'x' is invisible (I assume that it's a bug with the current version of iTunes) - click on the app's top left corner where the 'x' should be, and it should become hidden.
