Remote App and iTunes issue

I have a Windows MC machine I'm using in my living room. I recently had to reinstall Windows because I was having some minor issues. After reinstalling, I downloaded iTunes. Everything is great, but my iPhone is not showing up as a device in iTunes. My iPhone remote is working on all of my Mac just fine... but my PC just wont see it. I've disabled the firewall, set all the preferences as needed... EVERYTHING SEEMS right. iTunes is seeing shared libraries... it just doesn't see my remote. Please help!

Have had the exact same problem since the last iTunes update came through. remote worked just fine before that.

  • Remote App and iTunes not syncing

    I'm trying to get the Remote.app and the iTunes DJ to sync so that I can control my computer library from iPod Touch. However, the icon for remote does not appear in the iTunes tray under my iPod in "Devices." How can I fix this?
    For starters it is a 2.2 version iPod (volume rocker version) and I have the 3.0 firmware on it. My iTunes is the current 8.2 version. I also already have "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" checked in my preferences in iTunes. I do have a wireless connection and both my laptop and iPod are connected to it properly. My iPod was connected before, but accidentally. I removed another computer from the library list and now it won't connect.

  • Iphone remote app and itunes

    All seemed to be going well until - the updates.
    Now my iphone will not recognize my itunes libraries. I deleted the library link from the iPhone remote app and even told itunes to forget all remotes. Back to my iphone to set up as a remote - again. The iphone generates the 4 digit code, itunes even recognizes the iphone, allows me to enter the code, and returns the screen that I can now start using the iphone as a remote. --- Back to the iphone - and the remote app can "find the library" - What gives? Help
    <edited by host>

    Revelation, do you mean complete restore of the iPhone and all contents thereof? Or the Mac?
    I have deleted the application "Remote" from the iPhone, and I have re-installed it. Each time the application will work for a limited time, and then it loses the ability to locate the library.
    I continue to suspect IP addresses as the source of the problem, and wonder if the addresses must be static on both devices in order for them to maintain a connection. However, I find it odd that iTunes can register the presence of the iPhone enough to list it in the "devices" pane (therefore, I assume that the two devices are communicating over my network) but then the iPhone fails to locate the iTunes library.
    Other applications (Briefcase Lite, for example) seem to be able to conduct over-the-network business without difficulty.

  • Remote App and iTunes Movies Library

    I am using the remote app on my iPhone and iPad to control iTunes.
    Everything works fine, but what I do not understand is, why does the remote app not list all movies in my iTunes? It only lists H.264 files, but not MPEG-4 files. All of them are listed in iTunes and it plays both filetypes without any issue.
    Why is this?

    Having exactly the same issue with my .mpg files. This was the main reason I installed Remote.

  • Remote app and iTunes 12

    My iTunes library no longer appears in my remote app.  I know it is not a Home Sharing issue because the library is linked to my Apple TV.  However, it won't appear in my remote app on my iPhone 6 or my iPad Air.  Hasn't worked since the update to iTunes 12.

    I’ve been researching similar issues for the better part of a week. Bottom line: Cycling power (unplugged for 30 seconds+) on my Airport Extreme (not necessarily my Verizon FIOS broad and router) solved the problem for me.
    Here are the issues I was trying to fix (similar to others on the board):
    1) Airplay stopped working at some point in recent time. The icon disappeared from my iOS devices when they were in my home network
    2) Apple Remote App for IOS stopped working on my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.1) and iPad Air (IOS 7)
    As noted by others, my iTunes home sharing continued to work, and I was able to stream music, movies, etc. to my two Generation 2 Apple TVs
    Over the last few days, I tried the following:
    a) Cycling power on my ActionTec router
    b) Upgrading my iPhone to iOS 8
    c) Reseting my apple TVs
    c) Restoring one of my gen 2 AppleTVs to factory original settings
    d) Hard resets on my iOS devices (iPhone, iPad Air)
    e) Uninstalling the Remote App from my iPhone and reinstalling it
    f) Turning off Home Sharing, and turning it back on again
    Most of the reports I found on this board while researching the issue correlated the above loss in functionality with the iOS 8+ upgrade and/or the recent upgrade to iTunes 12. That could be the case for many, but it was not the case for me. Whatever it was, the issue was resolved when (and only when) I cycled power on my Airport Extreme.
    I had my airport extreme set to automatic updates, so I’m not sure if/when Apple pushed out an update in the recent pass that caused the functionality to be lost.
    Hope this helps!
    P.S. Is there any place I can see when Apple last pushed out an update to Airport Extreme?

  • Apple Remote App and iTunes

    Hi
    I've got the latest software on iTunes and my Remote App for iPhone and iPad.  I've noticed from tint to time that when selecting the source in the Remote App (I.e. whether to play music / films etc from iTunes or my AppleTV I notice the icon for iTunes DJ appears (icon is several CDs stacked on each other).  This only appears very occasionally and I have no idea what triggers its appearance.  I would have though it should appear there all the time. 
    Anybody have any clues as to what is happening and why?
    Thanks

    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

  • Remote App and iTunes wont work! Please help.

    I am having a really hard time making the remote app work with my HP laptop. I have a Mac that connects flawlessly through my remote app but the HP just wont see my phone. I have done everything possible with firewall settings but still can not connect. Please advise on what I might be doing wrong.

    Usually when this happens either quicktime is not installed properly OR you have the Qoologic adware on the PC.
    So first we will scan the system for adware. A good program for catching the Qoologic adware (Which affects iTUnes) is Ewido. You can download and install it here http://www.ewido.com Just scan the system and if it finds adware, have it remove it.

  • Remote app and iTunes Radio question

    Am I missing something or are we not able to control the iTunes Radio with the Remote Application for iPod Touch/iPhone?
    I can control my music library obviously with the Remote app, but I see no where in the app to control the Radio.
    If I sit at my iMac and select/play a radio station and then look at my iPhone running Remote, I can see that it's play the radio station, but I can't select other radio stations from the Remote app. I stream music from iTunes to several speakers throughout my home and would love to be able to control the Radio from anywhere in the house much like I do my iTunes library.

    Can I run the radio from my laptop?
    I'm not sure I understand your question. The only place you can run iTunes from is a computer, either laptop or desktop. iTunes Radio is part of iTunes so you run it from your computer.
    If that doesn't answer your question, let me know and I'll try again.

  • It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

    It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
    I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

    What?
    You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
    And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
    No, this will not work.
    Just create a network with your notebook.

  • IOS Remote App and ATV2

    I cannot get the iOS remote app to connect to my Apple TV2. It connects just fine to the iTunes libraries on my network, but from three different iOS devices I get the same error. The app sees the ATV2 and tries to connect, but fails. The odd thing is, it used to work flawlessly. I hadn't used the app for a month or so and now its not working. I've tried resetting the apple TV (both power cycle and full settings reset) as well as rebooting the router and the iOS devices. I reinstalled the remote app as well. The weird thing is, I can airplay mirror to the ATV2 fine, just the remote app fails. The error message I receive after sitting at the "Connecting to Apple TV" screen is as follows:
    "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again.
    I have no idea what changed in my set up, perhaps a software upgrade screwed something up but I'm at a loss I've tried everything. The ATV2 is running 4.4.4, the iOS devices are all up to date running latest remote app.
    I Apple TV can access my iTunes libraries fine as well.

    Mar 30, 2013 11:31 AM Recently purchased new AirPort Extreme.  The wifi network works fine and all is well.  The issue is I can not connect my Remote app with iTunes or my Apple TV. - I have rebooted my AP Extreme as well as my AP TV and my PC. - I have logged out of Home Sharing and logged back in. - On my iPad or iPhone I add Library and receive a Passcode, I enter in the PC into iTunes and I receive an error message "The passcode you entered was incorrect. Please try again"  I receive this error when entering all my idivices. - I have deleted the Remote App and reinstalled it, but continue to receive the same error message. - All soft ware on all divices are current. - I have diabled my firewall. Who has any ideas?  Thanks MacBook Air, iOS 5.1.1

  • Remote app and home sharing

    remote app & home sharing worked on my new iPad (3rd gen) but did not work on my iPhone 4. this went on for a week or so but now both of them (remote app and home sharing) work on my iPhone but stopped working on iPad. I tried re installing itunes to 10.6.1.7 (latest version) with no luck. please help because i prefer using my ipad to control my pc

    Be sure that all devices are on the same network.
    If apple tv and remote are on same homeshare you should be able to select and control the apple tv from with in the remote app.
    If apple tv and the itunes are on the same homeshare the apple tv will see the itunes library (and shared photos) in the computer section.
    Additionally if these are all on the same homeshare you should see both the apple tv and the itunes library in the remote app.
    hope that helps.

  • Ipod remote app and apple tv sync vs. stream problem

    Have been using ATV 1st gen streaming from a shared itunes library for some time.
    Now I want to use the ipod remote app and can make it work only if I sync content to the ATV. If I stream content to the ATV, the remote app says there is no content.
    However, I can see (on my tv) and play the sync'd content using the white plastic remote.
    *Does this mean the remote app works only with synced (not streamed) content on ATV 1st gen?*
    (all itunes and ATV software is the latest)
    Thank you.

    Connect your Remote App to your PC/Mac
    Select Song
    Select Play
    Tap Full Screen icon(Album ARtwork)
    Select "AirPlay" button
    Selcect your ATV as the only Speaker
    This way you can stream content to your ATV
    This works with ATV II Aswell
    I have both and could not stream FROM ATVII to my MAC/ATV I
    But using MAC/PC as source and ATV as speaker makes it work fine with unsynced content

    ITunes perfectly but there is no audio coming from the phone, I am having a party and I
    want to play the same playlist  throughout the house without having it up at full volume.

    simultaneously.

    Hi Kenneth,
    Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
    You can setup the session time limit in different method.
    1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
    2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
    3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
    4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
    5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
    6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK. 
    And apart also by group policy setting as below.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    -  Set time limit for disconnected sessions
    -  Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  End session when time limits are reached
    Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.
