Remote and iTunes 8.1 with AirPort deactivated?!?

Ok, I just wanted to try if the new iTunes DJ thing works, updated the iPhone remote app and started to "vote" for songs, when I realized that my MacBook was not connected to my WiFi-network... but it still worked!
Now I wondered how that was possible..?!? My MacBook is connected via ethernet to the same router my AirPort Express (which I use for WiFi) is connected to. So I just unplugged the ethernet cable and it stopped working.
Does this mean that my iPhone accesses my MacBook via AirPort Express, or what?
Is this normal? Just wondering...

If your iPhone is connected to your WiFi network and your computer is connected to the same network via ethernet then Remote will still work, as it is going from the iPhone wirelessly to the Airport Express and then via ethernet to the computer. Both devices don't need to be on WiFi, just be on the same network.

  • IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

    I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
    (With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

    OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw  file in directly from the
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
    folder.
    No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.

  • IOS Remote and Home Sharing problems with iTunes 10.6.3

    I'm having a problem with Home Sharing and the iOS Remote app accessing iTunes since the 10.6.3 update. I have the following:
    2011 Mac Mini Server running Lion 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.3
    IPhone 4 running iOS 5.1
    iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1
    Latest model Apple TV
    The Remote app on both the iPhone and iPad are unable to connect to the iTunes library on the Mini (the app will just sit there trying to connect but never make a connection). The Apple TV is showing the same behaviour: when I go into 'Computers' it tries to connect to my library without success.
    I've tried a few things:
    1) Turning off and re-enabling Home Sharing on the Mac Mini
    2) Deleting my library in the iOS app and then re-adding it
    In both cases this seemed to work at first, but then after a while I was unable to connect again.
    I have since discovered that if I quit and restart iTunes on the Mac this seems to resolve the issue on all of the other devices. But again this is a short term fix and after a while they are once again unable to connect.
    The Mac Mini is always on and is set to not sleep (although I have to enter the password again after an hour).
    At first I thought this might be time related, and that if the Mac had been idle for a while and the drives were 'sleeping' then the issue would occur. However, if I have left the Mac for several hours and then go back to it and login and start something playing in iTunes the other 3 devices still cannot connect even though iTunes is active and reading from the drive. As soon as I restart iTunes they can all see the library again for a while.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    thanks
    Mark

    Same thing here except I'm not running server software on the Mac Mini. The Apple support person said that iTunes is the same, server or not. He recommeded setting sleep to never, but I get the same connection problems. I also automatically restart the Mini and relaunch iTunes on startup every morning at 6 AM. And, as with your experience, the only temporary solution is to quit and restart iTunes at the time that I want to connect. Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad all have the same connection problem. My only hope at this point is 10.8. I have to say, 10.7 has never behaved better than a beta release. I hope they took a little more time with Mountain Lion.
    Sorry I don't have a solution. I wanted to add my name to the list and hope someone out there has some insight to share.

  • Apple Remote and iTunes

    Some time ago, I changed the setting for my Apple remote such that once iTunes is open and I press the menu button, iTunes becomes hidden.
    Now, it has become a nuisance as once iTunes is open, the remote will do nothing else but hide iTunes when I press the menu button.
    I've been trying really hard to figure out where to go to change this setting but to no avail.... can anybody help me?!

    Hi,
    I have had and fixed a similar issue;
    Setup;
    Linksys ADSL router/model (4 port wired and wireless)
    LAN Network = 192.168.0.x
    Mac Mini wired into the router (on same LAN)
    Airport Express wireless (driving my stereo speakers and acting as a wireless client on the same LAN)
    Apple iPhone 3GS wireless with Apple Remore app
    iTunes 9.blah (last 9.x version before 10 havent upg yet, iTunes all configured to use airtunes, remote speakers and remote app etc)
    Now It will all work fine and dandy at first then if i stop itunes (and the remote app disconnects) after a while (5 to 10 mins) the mac goes to sleep to save power.
    The mac doesnt wake up again to accept the connection from the remote app.
    So I found an apple support article (cant find it now) that suggested that I set the "wake on lan" feature, this wakes the mac and itunes if the mac has slept. Its in the system preferences / energy saver (its something like "wake on lan" or "wake on network")
    This fixes it for me.
    Cheers

  • Itunes wont work with Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have been having issues with Itunes and Airport Express for years. I got if fixed a year ago through Apple, but now that the new Itunes came out, back to square one and frustrated.
    I have an IMAC G5 going wireless to Airport Express. There is nothing in the way and I am 5 feet from the Airport.
    We worked on this issue on the phone for literally hours over a 3 day period. I cannot remember exactly how we fixed it, because we changed so many settings.
    I am opening Itunes, I can see the choices of my Airport Express or my computer or both, I can click on Airport Express and music will last for several seconds to a minute at the most, then it shuts off. The music will stop streaming, my Airport express will go off line, and Itunes will lock up completely. I have to force Itunes closed, log off Airport, log back in Airport, if I am to get back on line.
    The one thing I seem to recollect is we changed some sort of preference where the Airport through some thing was trying to force its way into the network, so it would shut it off from logging into the network. I think we changed something in the log on preferences in system preferences, but I am not sure.
    I have no idea how to fix this issue and have worked on it for hours, if anyone KNOWS how to fix it, and I have read / tried about 10 different obsurd ways to fix, please give me the information. I have tried re setting up network, logging off, re installing, you name it, so if you do know for sure how to fix it please give me the information.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

  • Disconnection between Remote and iTunes on iPad2

    When I connect with iPad to iTunes using the app Remote I loose the connection after a couple of minutes. I then have to cut the Wi-Fi connection and re-establish it in order that Remote finds iTunes gain.
    This is not the case with my iPhone3 (same OS and Remote version), which keeps the connection without a time limit.
    What's the point with ipad2?
    Thanks
    Andreas
    Used HW and SW:
    - iPhone3 and iPad2: OS 4.3.3, remote 2.1.1 (299)
    - iTunes 10.2.2.12 on Vista

    Same problem with Apple TV (OS 4.2.2). When you start Apple TV it sees and connects to iTunes but after a whille (10 minutes or so) the connection is broken.

  • How do i use my time capsule and extend the network with airport express

    I have a new iMac and Time Capsule, how do i extend the network with airport express. My time capsule does have a guest net work, and logins and passwords? I am no computer person. So for me it would have to be spelled out.

    Use the search as this has been done to death ..
    Bob Timmons is the expert on this.. look at his answers here.

    This has been automated in the v6 utility. I am used to doing it manually in v5 utility which is also fairly easy.
    Apple doco is also good to read.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
    Note.
    You cannot extend the guest network unless everything is up to date 7.6.3 firmware. And that is only with the TC as the main router in the network.
    All apple routers can be configured as the main wireless or as the extend wireless.. so don't worry if a post uses express or extreme or TC.. they are for wireless, the same thing.

  • IPhone 5s and iTunes match started with wrong apple i

    Hello,
    Yesterday I started with iTunes match with one of my apple id's (the one I mostly use for shopping)
    UnfortunateIy, while reading the instructions I didn't quite understand that it would not be available to my other id (apple id for iCloud)
    My macbook, windows pc and ipad are synced with the correct apple id (for iCloud)
    Now my iphone is not synced because I started iTunes match with another apple id of mine....!
    As I realise what happened I think that a 90 day period is absurd!!! in order to get my device free to sync with my choice apple id
    Because of this situation I have bought de iTunes match twice.
    Can you help me with the two following?
    1. Is it possible to cancel de purchase for apple id: please?
    2. And to have my iPhone 5s available for de iTunes match
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello mary.bee
    To resolve the issue, you will need to report the issue to the iTunes Store. As for the 90 days the article below will have some information about associating your Apple ID with other devices.

  • Can't connect to software update and other online services with airport

    Hello, hopefully someone can help with this problem. When going to use software update using airport I get an error message saying there is a network problem and it can't connect. Also, when trying to use Microsoft Messenger it can't connect either way.
    I can connect and use the internet using airport and apps such as iChat and Entourage work.
    Can someone tell me why I can't connect to Apple's Software update service through airport?
    Thanks

    Is your network configuration something like the following:
    DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AirPort Extreme Base Station > (wireless) > MacBook?
    ...and, if so, you are able to get to Software Update when connecting your MB directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the LAN port of the AEBS...correct?
    Since, you stated that you are using port forwarding, I assume that you have setup your MB with a static IP. Do you have any Proxies setup on either/both your Ethernet or AirPort connections on the MB?

  • IPod and iTunes not compatible with WinXP

    It appears that the iPod (I have a 4GB nano) and iTunes (I tried what was on the CD, as well as the latest download of 6) are not compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition (patched to the hilt, all the latest updates installed).
    Installation works fine but iPod updater does not terminate cleanly and the iPod nano does not get rebooted properly, and although iTunes sees the iPod when it is plugged in, it does not recognize it from plug-in to plug-in (it's supposed to remember the name of the iPod device, and not re-prompt you to register, etc.).
    Also, when attempting to copy MP3 files to the iPod, it appears as though they are copying but they do not wind up on the iPod no matter how hard you try.
    Windows 2000 SP4, however, does not have any problems with the iTunes or iPod updater software and everything seems to work just fine.
    It would behoove Apple to investigate the compatibility problem that their software has with Windows XP Media Center Edition, and fix it as soon as possible.

    When i startup itunes it says:
    "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the Ipod's software"
    I am on xp media center edition 2005
    When I run the ipod updater it gives me "ipod service error"
    What can i do?
    I bought the 4gb nano just yesterday.
    both my ipod and itunes software are the Updated September 23, 2005 versions
    ps on my old pc with winxp sp2 barebones edition, it works fine...
    maybe its cos in mce 2k5 i got 2 users?

  • Using ARD remotely connecting to work computer with Airport Extreme...

    So I've looked through the forums, over the interwebs, through the ARD PDF manuals online and I'm coming up short. Ugh.
    I want to connect from my home laptop to my desktop at my small business where we're using an Airport Extreme for a router. I can NOT figure out how to get this configured to work. We use ARD within the business, so on the same network, no problems. With the router, I'm guessing I need to get the computer setup to have a locked in IP and whatnot but no where can I find the instructions that tell me EVERTHING I need to do. Can someone here point me in the right direction please or hit me over the head with a 2x4 of exact instructions!
    Thanks for your time! Shawn

    Hi Shawn,
    So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
    That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
    If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
    Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
    Open Airport Utility:
    go to the dock
    Click on the finder
    go to the menu bar
    Click on the "Go" menu
    Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
    double Click on "AirPort Utility"
    Access the Base Station:
    Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.
    a new window should pop up with your Airport Base Station as the Window Name
    Configure Static Address for the computer you want to connect to via ARD:
    Click on the internet Icon from the toolbar
    Click on the "DHCP" tab
    For "DHCP Reservations:"  Click on the "+" button
    For the "Description" put "ARD"
    For "Reserve Address by:"  set "DHCP Client ID"
    Click the "Continue" button
    For "DHCP Client ID:" set "ARD"
    write down the number in "IPv4" address field
    Click the "Done" Button
    Configure routing to ARD computer:
    Click on the "Advanced" icon from the tool bar.
    Click on the "Port Mapping" tab
    Click on the "+" button
    for "Service:" Chose "Apple Remote Desktop"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8)"
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Apple Events"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Login - SSH"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "Update" button.
    wait for the Airport Extreme to update, and for your computer to reconnect to the airport extreme. (make sure you can load and browse websites.)
    Configure the ARD computer to use the correct IP address:
    Go to the computer you want to be able to remotely connect to
    On that computer, Go to the menu bar
    Chose the "Apple" menu bar
    Chose "System Preferences…"
    Click on the "Show All" button
    Click on the "Network" icon
    For the active network connection, (the connection on the left side with the green dot), click on it
    Clock on the "Advanced…" button
    Click on the "TCP/IP" tab
    for the "DHCP Cient ID: field put "ARD".
    Click the "OK" button
    Click the "Apply" buttonNOTE: Under "Status" you should see "(connection name) is connected to (airport base station name) and has the IP address (IP address)." the "(IP address)" address displayed should match the IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Find out what your public internet IP address is.
    On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, goto http://whatismyipaddress.com/
    when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
    At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
    connect to the internet from another location.
    open Apple Remote Desktop
    go to the file menu
    chose connect to computer using ip address
    set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
    use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
    So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
    Also some network connections change.  When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
    Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
    Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
    ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
    This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

  • Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

    I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8.  This was months ago.
    I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
    I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
    If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

    Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.
