Itunes and ipad remote

I have itunes 10.5.2.1 running on a windows 7 pc and have my music organised into albums, some albums are taken from CDs and other albums are made up of music from various sources.
When I select an album to play thru itunes on the pc, it plays the whole album from start to end with no problems.
I have recently downloaded the Remote app for my ipad and set up home sharing.
THis is all ok - I can see all the albums thru home sharing and can play music BUT, for many albums, when I select them in Remote, the tracks are greyed out. If I select a track, it plays ok but stops at the end of that track, ie I can not play the whole album except by selecting each track one at a time. For other albums, all tracks are not greyed out and when I select the first track, the whole album is played in sequence.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this and how to overcome it. As far as I can see there  is no difference in the way the albums are set up in itunes, ie, for exampler, it doesn't matter whether the tracks in the albums are marked as part of a compilation or not.

You no longer need the 4 digit code in iTunes 11.
iTunes (10.0.1 or later)
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
iTunes 11 or newer: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to File > Home Sharing> Turn on Home Sharing.
iTunes 10.7 or older: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.
Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Mac or PC is also connected to.
Open the Remote app (software version 2.0 or later) on your mobile device.
Turn on Home Sharing in the Remote Settings screen. Make sure to sign into the same Home Sharing account you used to sign in to from iTunes on your computer.
Once Home sharing is enabled for both your computer and your mobile device, Remote app will be be able to view and control audio and video playback in your iTunes library.

  • ITunes and iPad app syncing ~~~ HELP ME.

    Before I got my iPad 2 I went into iTunes and downloaded a lot of apps. When my iPad arrived I synced it. Since then I have deleted many of these apps but they're still in my iTunes. How do I get my iTunes and iPad synchronized without all of those old apps going back on my iPad? Thanks...

    Press home button twice.
    Swipe to the leftmost screen, and when you see the airtplay icon enable and enable mirroring.

    I just updated itunes and ipad.  I cannot find icloud in settings.  Where is it or how can I get it?

    It should be there.  Are you sure the iPad is running iOS 5?  You can check in Settings>Genreal>About.  The iOS version is shown under Version.

  • I updated iTunes and iPad software and now the iPod function doesn't work--it just displays a large musical note with no controls or songs.

    Why does the iPod on my iPad not work after I updated the iTunes and iPad software? All I see when I touch iPod is a large musical note, no controls or songs.

    happened to me the first time i used the i pod app after the i tunes update.  simply back all the way out - (double hit the home button - the ipod app is one of those things that seems to continue to live in the multitaking bar).  When you restart the i pod app, it should dome back fine.  I do not think (but maybe I did) that I needed to do a full shut down - just fully close and reopen.

    I have updated both my Itune and Ipad mini , however, when I click on the device icon (beside itune store), it disappear. Why does this happen?

    I'm not sure why this would happen. But I think I did see another post a week or two ago about this. Have you tried rebooting your computer and resetting your iPad.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • WD Mycloud streaming & iTunes and iPad/phone

    Anyone have experience with WD Mycloud storage device, iTunes and iPad/phone?  Trying to stream music from the storage device to iTunes/etc and it ain't working out so well.

    I've had a not-so-rewarding experience with one of Apple's support-issue-submission forms. It was a reminder that as much as I'd prefer to think otherwise, Apple may be unusual, but it's just another company where it's not possible for everyone to be "above average".
    Frankly, I'd be happy in this case if iTunes dropped an XML file with apps-in-folders, let me mess with it, and then loaded and applied it to shuffle things around. That's one thing I love about OS X, but then that also allows one to be too smart for one's own good. Be careful what I ask for, I guess...

  • HT204161 I have separate apple ID, iTunes and iPad account. Can these be linked? Will simply changing the login info to match will this accomplish a link?

    I have separate apple ID, iTunes and iPad accounts. Can these be linked/combined? Will simply changing the login info to match accomplish a link?

    You should continue to use your Apple ID for your iTunes account whatever you do in terms of iCloud syncing and mobile me.
    If you would like to use the Apple ID you use for iTunes for iCloud syncing. just create an iCloud account using that Apple ID. If you do this you will need to add an iCloud mail address which can't be your mobile me address as that is already taken.
    If you want to create another Apple ID for use with iCloud so that you keep your @me address from your mobile me account you can do that by migrating from mobile me to iCloud, you can do that too, your Apple ID for iCloud will then be your @me address.
    If you migrate your calendars and contacts will also be migrated and continue to work in iCloud. If you create an iCloud account using the Apple ID you use for iTunes you will be given the oportunity to merge your calendars and contacts.
    Whichever you choose, it would be agood idea to export your calendars and contacts for back up purposes before doing anything.

  • I am so sick of the crappy way iTunes and iPad handle app folders.

    I'm a long-time iPad user who, for various reasons, has accumulated over 500 apps. It is absolutely essential that I keep my apps organized into folders. This requires a lot of folders, too: with a maximum of 20 apps per folder, that's at least 25 folders.
    What prompted this message is that after the last time a major software update decimated my carefully-constructed folder organization (which itself is inexcusable), I spent two hours with the horrible iTunes interface dragging and dropping and creating new folders and getting everything re-organized, finally, only to have iTunes fail to sync the changes to my iPad.
    It synced, but afterwards, the iPad still had its old folder layout, and iTunes still indicated the new one. I power-cycled the iPad and tried syncing again: same thing. I quit and re-launched iTunes and synced again, and lo, iTunes wiped all the tedious work I'd done and just copied the defective organization back from the iPad into iTunes.
    This isn't a one-time thing. It's consistently been the most time-consuming, time-wasting aspect of owning an iPad, and really, it's inexcusable for Apple to have let this go on and on for so long.
    Why not just let them float free instead of constantly hitting my head against the "folder wall" and gradually move the ones I use a lot to early pages? Well, it turns out that if you have too many apps installed, the iPad doesn't show them all: there's a limit to how many pages of apps it will show. Dang it.
    Why not use the search page to get to my apps? Well, I could, but some of them are named in unfortunate ways. (Also, when you search for an app, it doesn't indicate whether it's located in a folder nor in which folder it's located. That's not just stupid: it's caused me to go manually poking through folder after folder to find an app that I've "mis-filed".)
    And if you have multiple iDevices? I recently jumped from Android to iPhone, and guess what: I had to go through the whole, pain-staking process of creating a folder organization for the phone, because I couldn't use the iPad's as a template. I did learn my lesson, though: the iPhone only has installed the apps that I use on a regular basis. At least that cuts down on the length of the pain if not the intensity.
    C'mon, Apple, get a clue! This app folder "organization" is about as crappy as it gets. (Though you have a bad history of poor organization: how long did it take to get photo albums?) Please, please, please, if you can't at least get the novice-programmer-stupid-bugs out of your folder sync/iTunes logic, come up with an alternative.
    Here, I can think of a REALLY EASY one right off the bat: let me tag my apps and search/access them via tags. (Oh, say, then maybe I could just have a "smart folder" to make them easier to find.) (What? Be able to organize apps in more than two dimensions?) Or at least make the drag-and-drop-to-move-apps interface (on both the iPad and iTunes) less fragile and frustrating.
    Back to bashing my head against the wall... thanks for listening.

  • Two Apple TVs on one network and iPad remote

    I am currently running a second gen Apple TV in my living room and would like to add a second one to my bedroom running on the same wireless network. Is it possible to manage both from the same iPad remote application?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can add additional Apple TVs to your remote app (indeed it will add them itself)

  • Problems with Syncing Photos between ITunes and iPad

    Dear Mac Users,
    1. I have been syncing Ipad and my MacBook Pro using I Tunes a lot.
    2. My storage habits are Standard so all files are imported using iTunes and all in Pictures Folder, important using ITunes.
    3. Recently i add new Photo event to sync, it does optimization shows me total number of files, start copying and then stops and here is a message comes up:
    ''The IPad cannot be synced. The required file can not be found"
    4.Files are there , I see them both on IPhoto and on Disk.
    Can you help with resolving this issue.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Alkhas

    I assume it is a POP account. Each individual device should have the setting for what to do with an email when it's (automatically) downloaded: in Mail it's in Preferences>Accounts>Advanced:
    If it's not checked, mail will be left on the server indefinitely. If it's checked and the drop-down menu set to remove mail immediately that's what will happen; or you have a choice of how long before it's removed. The removal takes place when you check mail, I don't know whether iOS devices have the same setting or where it is.
    You can see that if it's set differently on different devices you may get confusing results. I would suggest setting to one month on all devices, if you can, so that each has a chance to access the emails.
    Just to prevent confusion: iCloud email does not work like this.

  • ITunes and iPad Mini connectivity

    I just got an iPad Mini and I really like it.  However, I'm having a problem with it and iTunes.
    1.  If I connect it to a USB hub connected to my iMac, iTunes shows it as a device. 
    I have it set up to sync over wifi just as I've done with a 3rd Generation iPad.
    2.  If I connect the Mini to the charging adapter that came with it and plug that into an outlet next to my iMac, it lists it as a device and works fine
    3.  If I connect it to the same charging adapter at the other end of the house, it does not show up in iTunes
    From Terminal I am able to ping the iPad Mini via the household Wifi.  iTunes does not connect to it.
    I like to put the iPad on a charger near my bed so I don't have to trek through the length of the house when I'm finished for the night.  My iPad 3rd Gen works fine like this as does my iPhone 4S. In all cases the device is connected to a charging adapter using the USB to the correct connector (30 pin except for the Mini is by the lightening connector).
    What might be the problem?
    BTW, I can see the sidebar.  The iPad 3rd Gen and the iPhone 4s show up under devices there when on the charger.  iPad Mini shows up if connect to computer via USB cable but not if only on a charger.  All three devices are set up to sync via WiFi.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Hello thre bkitchin,
    I was looking through our resources about what may be going on in this situtation and think I have an article that may help you out. It is called iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062.
    I would recommend starting at step three, as the first 2 are already taken care of, and work your way down from there.
    3. Quit and reopen iTunes and restart your iOS device
    If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, restart your iOS device.
    It's conceivable you may have to restore the iPad mini, the process is found in the article iTunes: Restoring iOS software found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
    Take care,
    Sterling
    Take care,

  • Syncing between itunes and iPad 2 is very slow. Is it because of the new ios 7.1?

    Why is it taking so long to sync itunes with my iPad 2.
    I have recently updated to the new ios 7.
    Tried to delete apps and music using itunes whilst iPad connected. Still waiting for itunes to finish syncing (step 5 of 5).
    Thank you for your help.

    Yeah, sorry, you're stuck with it. Once it downloads it's there and cant be deleted.
    HOnestly, you won't get carplay (and even if you did there are no cars currently on the market that support it) nor will you get the fingerprint scanning. You'll have the option for buttons again, along with a thicker font and a couple of other visual things.
    The only way to keep updates from being manually pushed out is to keep your device full enough that there's no room for it to download.

  • ITunes and iPad 4 sync issues

    After I have watched and deleted a video, if I do so on my iPhone or iPod touch when I sync then the blue circle disappears showing the video has been watched.
    However, on my new iPad 4, when I have watched and deleted a video, when I sync with iTunes the blue circle doesn't disappear and the video is still showing as un-watched.
    Any ideas ?
    I am running Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes and iOS on the iPad.
