IPhone Remote won't work on iMac

I have an iMac running Leopard on a wifi network over a dlink router.
I can put in the pin number on iTunes when prompted and it tells me my iphone can now control iTunes. But then nothing happens on the iphone. I can't connect to my library.. any ideas?? is it something in system preferences???

You may need to allow access through your firewall.

Apple Remote won't work with Logic

I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

Iphone remote won't connect to my iTunes library and tells me the passcode is incorrect

My iphone 5 previously worked with the Remote app to control streaming of music from my itunes library to my amp with Airplay capability. Now it can't find my itunes library and when I go to the Settings for Remote app and try to add the library, it won't accept my passcode on itunes screen where it appears. I deleted the app and re-added it to my iphone but it still won't work. My Remote app still works on my Ipad so I'm a bit perplexed as to why it won't work on my iphone 5. Any suggestions?

Hello dawgfaj,
Thank you for all the information you provided with the Remote app issue you are experiencing on your iPhone. I found an article with steps you can take when the Remote app is not connecting to iTunes:
Remote app for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can't connect to iTunes or Apple TV

IPhone 6 won't connect to iMac properly

My almost new iPhone 6 won't properly connect with my week old iMac. When I first got the iMac and plugged the phone in, it synced up fine. Now whenever I plug it in, it connects for roughly a second, then disconnects, then connects again, and then disconnects – continuously. I've tried a few cables from my household and had the same issue with all of them. What can I do to fix this issue? Thanks.

most likely issue can be, or that your phone connector, where the cable goes into has a bad contact, but most of the time it is debris in the device, i had this issue aswell bought a new toothbrush and used it to clean the port, now it is working like a charm, most of the time it is debris in the lightning port of your iphone. if that still does not resolve your issue you should contact apple care, also try it on a different computer if it has the same issue.
but my guess it is debris

IPhone Remote Won't Stay Connected to Apple TV

I have an apple tv, iphone 3gs and ipod touch first gen.
I am having many issues using either the ipod or iphone as the remote.
When I have connected to the the apple tv itunes library with the iphone's remote app it works fine. But as soon as either the apple tv or iphone fall asleep, turn off or disconnect they lose each other. I then cannot re-connect to the apple tv's itunes library. I am still able to connect to another itunes library but not the apple tv.
The only way I can manage to connect to the apple tv library with the iphone again is by resetting both devices and unpairing them. Then I am able to put the four digit code in again, works fine untill it goes to sleep. A big circle!
I have installed the app on my first gen ipod touch, however the app just won't open. I have purchased the 3.0 software for the touch, but the app doesn't work on it.
I am very much at a loss.
I would appreciate any help or tips. I have tried opening the two ports apple suggests opening. However that does not help.
Thanks,
Syd

I too have the same issue. I could connect to either iTunes or Apple TV, but as soon as I got out of one or the other I could never get it to connect to the library. I spent hours messing with my router, and nothing worked.
I did notice that my iPod Touch (which is running 3.0 firmware) had no problems at all connecting to either libraries. So I knew it wasn't a firewall issue.
The only think I found to work (and was the easiest workaround) was to go on the iPhone Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi for about 10 seconds. After turning it back on and the phone reconnected to the Wi-Fi network, I could immediately connect to Apple TV or iTunes. But as soon as I got out, the problem happened again.
I definitelly think there is some TCP/IP bug in the software that isn't meshing with the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware.
I hope this helps.

Iphone remote doesn't work with itunes anymore.

I've replaced my wireless router in the last week, but I think remote still worked after that. I don't know what is going on. Firewall is turned off, bonjour is running (I can see the homesharing from another computer) But iphone remote doesn't find the library.

In iTunes > Preferences > Devices - check what remotes are currently paired, then remove any and start the process from scratch. Also, check you are signed into iTunes with the same account on your phone and mac.

Iphone recovery won't work

so my iphone has not been working so i;m getting all this stuff to put it in recovery mode then restore it on itunes but everytime i do restore it in the middle of it, it stops and says "The iphone"iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred(21)" what is that PLEASE HELP ME

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

IPhone Slider won't work??

My iphone slider just stopped working i've tried restarting it and turning it off multiple times..how do i fix this?? even restored it which did not work. Please help!

This just happened to me after I dropped it. ***** cause I tried restoring and it didnt work. Looks like I'm going to have to buy a new phone. What really ***** is that if I buy Iphone 4 I have to pay $30 for unlimited plan plus $5 for texting so its costing much more in the long run.

After updating to Yosemite remote don't work on iMac

after updating to Yosemite remote don't work on iMac

No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

My iPhone 4s won't work properly

SSo recently I have been having problems with my iphone4s a pop up message keeps telling me to sign in to icloud . Even if I have , it wouldmstill appear, I can't even go on apps because it crashes or freezes them. I can't make calls neither and I can't received calls???? My battery life is draining quicker than it used to. More over, I can't even make a text. I receive text but once I try to open them , it would just appear in a blank canvas ....... I don't understand why I'm having these problems?! I've also have the lastest update

Funny:
     I have 3 headsets - Jawbone ERA, Plantronics Voyager Legend, and now (post iPhone 5) a Bose. None of them work well with the iPhone 5, but did work well with my 4S. Same with my 2013 CR-V - can make calls, but can't answer. After doing some research on the internet, it appears that others are having the same problem. So... it's going to be up to the every company or manfacturer that makes a bluetooth system to fix the problem (other than Apple, which does make "the blue tooth system" in the iPhone 5).
     It's funny, on one forum a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing): "the iPhone 5 doesn't work with any of these cars; I wonder if we could sue all of these car manufacturers."
     The question is this: whose responsibility is it to make functional the bluetooth features advertised by Apple? The Bluetooth system in my car works perfectly with the 4S (running iOS6), as do my headsets. The iPhone 5 doesn't work properly with anything.
     BTW: Between my wife, my 4 year old, and I we own 19 pieces of Apple hardware: 1. a Mac Pro; 2+3. 2x 15" rMBP; 4+5+6. 3 ipads; 7. 1 ipad mini; 8+9. two UMBPs; 10+11+12 3 x iphone; 13+14+15. 3 x AEX; 16. Time Machine; 17. the original powerbook; and who knows what else I can't remeber (I edited this because I just remembered that I own 2 apple tvs). I am also a member of the ADC (OS X).
     I been with Apple for a long time. I have been very loyal to Apple. I am entitled to say that is Apple's responsibility to make its own products work - but that Kool-Aid sure is sweet, ain't it?

HT2452 I have an iMac with iCloud. For some strange reason, yesterday, my apple id password quit working on my iCloud account. I went through the iforgot process of resetting it. The reset worked on mu iPhone, and iPad but won't work on iMac

HELP! I cannot sign in with new password on Imac but the password works on Ipad and iphone through icloud.... Just started eysterday after the status problem listed on the i cloud page.

I am having the same problem, starting today (12/15). Here's a more complete description of my problem.
About two weeks ago, I changed the email address associated with my Apple ID. The old address had been taken over by spammers, so it had to go. I followed the procedure in Manage My Apple ID, and everything seemed fine until today.
I am running Yosemite, 10.10.1 on an elderly Macbook Pro (2009)
I got a message saying I couldn't access iCloud and needed to log in in System Preferences. I tried logging in with my then correct password. After 3 tries I was locked out and told to use iForgot to reset my password. I used my recovery key and reset my password "successfully". My new password allows me to log into iCloud.com, iTunes on my Mac and on my iPhone 6, I am able to use my iCloud keychain on both devices, and I can log into Manage My Apple ID with the new password. I was also able to use the new password to log into iCloud on my iPhone. Access to iCloud drive from Pages appears to be working on my iPhone, but not on my Mac. I was also able to sign into the App Store on the Mac.
However, in System Preferences, I cannot log into iCloud and I cannot log into my iCloud mail account (both appear to use the same login). I get a message saying I have been blocked for security reasons and I need to reset my password. This is exactly the state I was in when I went and changed my password so it appears that the change didn't get communicated to system preferences. Without iCloud access, my apps that use iCloud for storage and/or syncing with iPhone apps are of limited usefulness. This may be key to the problem or at least a clue: System Preferences still thinks my Apple ID uses the old email address not the one it was changed to. The only way I know to change the address is through Manage My Apple ID
I tried rebooting by doing a full shutdown and restart, but it did not help. I also tried cursing at my Macbook but that did not help either.
I can use iCloud.com for mail and Documents since it recognizes my password. But this is at best a temporary work around. I'm off to check other sources for help. I'll report back when I know more.
