Remote App not doing anything?

There's probably a really simple solution to this, but I'm stumped as to how Remote App connects with iTunes. On my phone, I've gone to add a library & I'm given the 4 digit passcode, and it says to select my iPhone from the device list, but when I do, I'm just presented with the regular screen I get when I connect my iPhone, and nothing new happens, or there's nowhere to enter this passcode.
I've gone through all of the preferences & menu's but can't see anything for looking.
Many thanks for any help =)

Hi!
For me the problem was in the firewall settings. Here is what I did:
1. Go to control panels and open 'Security' panel.
2. Navigate to firewall. You will see 3 radio buttons for options.
3. Choose the last one, 'Set access for specific services and applications'.
4. Use the + on lower left hand side and pick up iTunes from the app list.
5. On the right hand side in the list, next to iTunes, choose 'Allow incoming connections'.
Before I did this I was only able to see my Touch in iTunes and key in the pin code. After that nothing happened. Now, after this firewall change the list in my Remote app got instantly populated.
Hope this works for you and others too!

  • Apple remote app not finding anything

    My Apple TV just updated its software. Home sharing is on.
    iTunes home sharing is on too.
    When I open apple remote app on iPhone 5, nothing is showing up.
    I turn off home sharing, then turn it on and sign in remote app.
    Still Apple TV or iTunes library not showing in remote app.
    I turn off wifi on iPhone, then back on.
    Then they how up.
    If I restart Apple TV and iTunes, they disappear from remote, and then I have to turn off/on wifi again.
    Is this how it's supposed to work now?!
    Or is something wrong?!
    Thanks.

    The separate wireless router that Virgin supplied is connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet and is broadcasting an 802.11g only signal and acting as an ethernet hub for a few devices.
    You didn't mention it, so I just wanted to be sure ... is this separate wireless router configured as a bridge? If so, can devices, connected to it, "see" network clients connected to the TC ... without using VNC?

  • Trying To Fresh Restart App - Not Doing Anything

    I contacted EA and after about 2 hours in the help line, they say that it's an issue with an iCloud backup. Then afterwards I go to general, iCloud, Documents & Date and turn it off. Then I delete the app, Madden Mobile, and re download the app. Afterwards when it's done downloading I reopen the app and my profile is still there. What I'm trying to do is delete my profile for a fresh start. According to EA there is somehow a backup which is preventing me from having the profile removed when I delete the application, then re install it.
    Thanks, Coler234

    Certainly restoring from the SuperDuper back up will work *if the damage occurred after the back up*. However, if the damage predates the damage, obviously it won’t help.
    In relation to this:
    We had probs with some links to originals (dotted line, questionmark) and exporting originals to Mail or onto the desktop – these issues could be related to the missing links, though – I don´t know).
    That sounds like database corruption, and my first step would be to rebuild that DB using iPhoto Library Manager as detailed above. Of course, this os secondary to getting the basic editing feature working.

    Another thought: Is that SuperDuper a bootable backup? Can you boot from the back up to test it?

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Force click not doing anything with long press

    My force click preference to show definitions and other information is not working. I'm doing like the video shows, but apparently it isn't working. It works when i use the alternative 3 finger tap.

    Hi TIA;
    We are facing some performance issues in our database since past few days. The some of concurrent requests which use to finish in 10 mins are running for more than 2 hrs. There are no locks in database, and the request is not doing anything in database (Not generating any Undo). When we check at the db server, the database process associated with the request is not shown in top process report, so we realise that it is not doing anything on the server level as well.
    What may be cause of the issue. How to identify why request is not doing anything. Does the server process gets disconnected from session. We have two node rac database.What is your OS and EBS? It was working before if answer yes what have u been changed on ur syste?(patch etc)
    You have any error message on alert.log and also concurrent log?
    Please check below thread which could helps you

  • Does iDVD work with Maverick? This is the first time I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything.

    I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick, first time I tried after upgrading to Maverick a few weeks ago. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything. Does anyone else have the same problem?

    I did not have a DVD handy to burn but I have just created a small 2 minute video and created a Disk Image and also a VIDEO_TS folder, the encoding worked correctly, so it works with some items.
    You may get a better responce in the iDVD forum.

  • Redirect rule not doing anything

    Note that the email account the the follwing applies to is a gmail account
    I have a rule in Mail that sends all emails from Macworld, Mac-Forums, and MacWeek to a folder (OK, a label in gmail parlance) and flags it "green" (so I can find them easliy and read them later).  Problem is the rule is not doing anything.  Ideas?

    Doesn't work for three days, but as soon as I post a message it starts working.  #sigh
    Actually, restarting the Mail program seemed to fix it.

    I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
    Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
    In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

    I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

  • Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything.  Help!

    Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything.  These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them.  Help!

    Good morning Old Toad.
    I did as you suggested:
    1) Booted from install CD.
    2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
    3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
    4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
    5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
    So there's no change in my status.
    I'm trying to delete the files because:
    A) They already take .5 Gb.
    B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
    C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
    D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
    Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

    Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

  • I just got a new docking system so i plugged it in and put in my ipod, then straight away my screen went white and now its not doing anything! please help!!

    Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
    Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
    If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
    In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
    Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
    Connect the iPod to the Mac
    Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
    Set it to Manually Manage Music
    Sync your selected songs in your library.
    Whern sync complete, Eject it
    Connect it to your Windows PC.
    Select the song in the library
    Sync it.
    It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
    Good luck!
