Remote app not connecting

Since the last system (security?) update last night (10.10.2 (14C1514)) the remote app on both my iPad and iPhone no longer connects. Restarted al devices (Mac mini , apple TV, Airport, iPad, iPhone) logged out and in  for homesharing, but no result. To my confusion the airport apps on my mobile devices indicate there is no airport extreme anymore... (they are very well connected to the internet though...) but the principal airport app on my Mac mini indicates everything is fine. No updates or anything needed and a good connection.
Still the remote app on iPhone and iPad cannot be used. Very annoying...
Anyone ideas?

Thanks. this might be right. The more because the Airplay option is gone too on iPad and iPhone.
But can anyone explain how to solve this? I just use the default Apple settings and have recently nothing changed. Not on my Mac mini (firewall not activated) and not on my Airport extreme that functions as my router.

  • Remote app not connecting to itunes

    so ever since the new update to itunes and remote a few weeks ago, my remote app will not stay connected to itunes for more then 10 minutes. like everyone else with this problem, if i restart itunes it'll work for 5-10 minutes then stop being able to see it. reinstalled the app, reinstalled bonjour, did just about everything but reinstall itunes.
    guess my question is, has there been a answer to his problem yet? there have been 1 minor update for each the remote app and itunes since the major updates that caused the problem, and neither minor update fixed it. *** is going?

    The upgrade to either the ATV, Remote, or iTunes has cause all three to stop working as advertised. Please oh great wonderful Apple repair your non-functioning applications so that I can be part of the Sheeple again and be happy with my purchases. I have no idea why my ATV syncs for hours and hours nor why the Remote suddenly stops seeing my Apple TV, or why iTunes just hangs. These are clearly issues related to the most recent upgrades issued by Apple, therefore it would follow reason that they are responsible for fixing the issue as nothing has changed with my home network. If anyone has insight into this problem with a fix, please post it here.

  • TS1741 Iphone remote app not connecting to itunes

    Ive checked the firewall, deleted and reinstalled itunes, deleted and reinstalled the remote app on my phone, and ive reset my router. Why isnt it working? the app stays on the screen which says "Turn on Home sharing in itunes..."

    I have exactly the same problem, and I've gone through all of the suggested "fixes". No firewall, on the same network, newest version of Remote app (4.2), with the latest versions of ios (7.2), and all the latest version of Apple TV and iTunes. Home Sharing is on (and my iMac and my MBPro both can control the Apple TV. The Remote app, however, STILL gives me the "can't connect" to the library "check your network settings" message, or "can't find the library, turn home sharing on" message. The Apple Tv and the two computer libraries show up on my iPhone in the Remote App, but that's all.
    I'm running a 2008-model iMac, a 2009 Macbook Pro, with a 3rd Generation Apple Tv with an iPhone 5s. My wifi router is a Time Capsule model wire-connected to a Time Warner Cable internet modem (I reset both).
    Anyone have any suggestions on what to do next?

  • TS1741 I can't get my remote app to connect my iPad to my Apple TV

    I can't get my remote app to connect my iPad to the Apple TV

    Meanwhile, since Apple does not read these forums, I suggest we all leave comments on their feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    That way they'll at least know a bunch of us are having this issue.
    Hopefully Apple will issue a fix soon.

  • Apple remote app loses connection

    I am using the remote app to control my Itune on my computer on Vista. I am able to initiate the connection. But when I close the remote and re-open I still see the library but I am not able to open it.
    I able to reconnect if disable and re-enable home sharing.
    *I have no firewall activated
    *WiFi conection working perfectly
    *Same problem from my Ipad and my Ipod.
    I did all recommend troubleshooting from apple with no success. I read a lot of post on web about that problem but it seems that it should had been fix in the latest version.
    Any idea
    Thanks.

    I have the same / similar problem.
    Just after starting iTunes (10.1.2) I can see the library in remote (2.1), can connect and control iTunes.
    This works fine for a couple of minutes, then the remote app loses connection to iTunes. The library turns from black to grey in settings, can nor be found nor added.
    I have tried this on two different Vista PCs and three different routers with all firewalls turn off.
    Looks like a straight forward bug to me. Any ideas please?

  • My remote will not connect to my Apple TV!

    I cannot get my remote to connect to my apple tv. I had hooked up the remote app and am able to use my iPad to connect but my remote will not connect. We thought it was the battery but I got a new one and it still won't connect.
    HELP!!
    thanks!Michael

    I would love to do that. My remote does not react when I try to pair it. I get nothing. Ive tried to do the reset where you hold the menu and the FF buttons for six secs and nothing.
    Ive changed the battery. nothing is working.
    I don't know what to do.
    It was working fine before, then it just stopped.
    thanks!

  • Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but won't display content from itunes library on the apple tv section of remote app

    What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
    I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
    Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen.
    Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image. Any ideas? I know that the remote app is connecting to the apple TV because I can control it using gestures, just strange I can't see the content on the ipad like in the attached video clip, instead I see the screen in the image below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

  • If your remote will not connect, read this, it will most likely help you.

    If your remote is not connecting, I can almost guarantee it is because you need to forward the ports on your router necessary to control it. I've suggested it to MANY people, and it has helped 100% of them. You need to forward ports TCP 3689 and UDP 5353.
    If you don't know how to do this go to the website www.portforward.com, and click "Guides". Then, under Port Forwarding", click "Port Forwarding Guides by Router".
    It doesn't matter if you're using a PC (which I am), or a Mac (which many of you are), this is more than likely what you need to do.
    And for those of you who have had no problem whatsoever: I'd make sure your security is enabled. If it's not, yer in for a world of hurt if someone finds that out.
    Please reply if this helped you, or if you need some more information. I will check back at 9:00PM Central when I get off work.

    This is the exact same problem i am experiencing, wired pc, into router that also provides the wireless connection for my iphone. I get no device popping up in itunes when trying to add a library in remote.
    I have added the port forwards to my router with no joy, disabled any and all software firewall/av, no joy.
    Its quite frustrating as i can get to my laptop's library just fine (laptop is wireless), i've even tried at work and can get over wireless via an access point onto the network and my pc there is wired in.
    I can only guess it is my router doing something stupid, or because it is running as a gateway and router, or something.
    Any other info would be great

  • Apps not connecting

    For some reason, my iPhone does not connect with most Apps (including the App Store). I have full signal strength and can send/retrieve emails without problem.
    I have turned the phone on and off. Even did a refresh (holding both the Home and Power buttons down until the apple logo appears). Nothing seems to make a difference.
    And on some apps, I can connect (such as American Airlines). It doesn't make sense. Especially the App Store app to update apps not connecting.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem. Can send/receive email and text messages, but cannot connect to game center server.

  • IPhone 4 Remote App Not working

    Hello,
    Sorry for posting another 'not working' thread, but having searched the forum I cannot find my answer.
    I am not very technical, but I have iTunes and an iPhone 4.
    I have the remote app and the app has worked perfectly up until recently.
    I have upgraded iTunes to 10 and also my antivirus.
    Now I know alot of these things could be caused by the firewall, but I have allowed iTunes to be let through the firewall and I have switched off the firewall in the past to ensure it was not this.
    When I switch on the computer and open iTunes then go to the remote app it works. It is when the iPhone 'sleeps' that the library wont re connect, OR if i have been using iTunes and then try and start the remote that it will not work.
    Any ideas at all as it is so frustrating. I am not technically minded, so switching router channels etc and proxy settings/DHCP etc dont really make sense to me.
    I have tried rebooting everything including the router, but believe it is something simple as it was working prior to iTunes 10.
    I am running a PC on Vista
    Thanks
    Steve

  • Iphone remote will not connect to itunes

    I have the downloaded iTunes 11 and the latest Remote App last night with hopes my problem would be resolved.  For about 6 months I have not been able to connect my iphone 4S (6.0.1) to my imac.  I've restarted the router, phone and computer are on the same network.  iTunes sees the iphone, when the iphone issues the 4 digit security code, I am prompted on my mac for the code.  I enter it.  I get the confirmation page on the mac that I can now control iTunes using this remote.  However, I can not.  When I open the remote on my phone, I receive an error that it could not find the library.  Firewall is off, I've re-tried multiple times, I've triple checked the correct home sharing ID.  I've restarted the phone, the computer, the router..sigh.  This worked flawless for some time.  It still works with my iPad, just my iphone is out.  Any thoughts out there?

    I have the same issue. I'm using a 3GS and a Win7 computer.

  • TS1741 Apple TV remote- no physical remote and remote app not working. ?

    Hi I've just got a new wireless network and my Apple TV is not connected to it, error message  when I go to tv channel for Apple TV.  Error telling me to go to settings etc and connect which is fine.  Issue is I have no physical remote and  I had the remote app downloaded but it is not connecting to Apple TV, keeps prompting for. Home sharing which I have/had already activated but won't allow me to interact with Apple TV .. How do I get Apple TV connected to new network and get remote working??

    You need the hardware remote.  You can not enable the remote app without it.  You can buy a replacement for $20.

  • Remote.app not being recognized by iTunes

    I had Remote.app working with my computer form my iPhone and iPod touches. But the other day my DSL modem went out, and I had to get a new one. Now Remote.app can not connect to iTunes on my computer. The Wi-fi works fine on my iPhone and iPod touches, and can access the internet with no problems for them, but I can't connect to any app on my computer now, from my mobile devices. I followed the directions for setting up the Firewall, and iTunes show's properly in the list of acceptable applications. But still no luck. I also use Cha-Ching and can no longer access that app either. Both iTunes and Cha-Ching on my computer don't see that the device is connected. I have been through my setup for my DSL modem and believer I have everything setup properly, but I guess I need to call Qwest and see if they can help. Just thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has experienced this, and what they did to fix it.
    Thanks in advance.

    try a complete *power cycle* of your equipment. shut everything down for @ least 15 minutes.
    then, in intervals of 5 minutes, turn the modem back on, followed by your router, and last your computer.
