Remote App on iPhone 3G

Hello all I got myself an iPhone 3G (FW 2.2.1 (BB 2.30) (BL 5.9)) and have been very happy with it until this, it's a bit of a strange one.
I downloaded the Remote app from Apple to control my iTunes (8.1.1) on Leopard and it works fine but when i do a sync it's no longer on the iPhone, when I check iTunes it's there, and when I go into the app store it says it's already installed. But I can't find the icon anywhere, I've checked the three pages of icons but nothing, when I delete it from iTunes and install it again from app store it's fine but again disappears. I also did a full restore and am getting the same problems, any ideas.
Cheers

HI it's checked but i unchecked it synced and checked it again and synced it but still nothing, could it be hidden?
Every single app I have is checked and on the iPhone the Remote app is the only one.

ITunes Remote App and iPhone 5 and PC

I just recently downloaded the Remote app from the App Store and I was trying to pair the Remote app with my PC but my PC doesn't see it at all.
They're both connected to the same Wi-Fi network as well. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Hope that you guys could help me out! I'll answer any question to get the solution!
Thanks in advance

Can no longer use the Remote app on iPhone 5 or iPad 1

Hi,
I've long used the Remote app to control my iTunes library which I stream through two Airport Expresses. It's been a great solution for some time.
However, since the latest updates, I can no longer do this. The iTunes library does not show up in the app, only a message telling me to turn on Home Sharing in iTunes.
I have turned Sharing off and on on the iPhone, iPad and iTunes but have had no luck getting it to work.
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks
Phil

Thanks Linc,
well that *****... I guess I am going to have to reach out to the developers. It does not look like they are doing this anytime soon cause the website is pretty old in itself.
Thanks for the info on this,
Paul

Remote app on iPhone and multiple speakers - I have to tap multiple times

I have a set-up with an Apple TV, iTunes on my iMac and a PC laptop plus 2 airport expresses throughout the house, all of those connected through airTunes.
This allows me to play music from any of these iTunes/Apple TV to the aiport expresses.
I have been using the remote app for over a year and a glitch seems to have appeared after I added the 2nd airport express (older model , 802.11g only).
Whenever I start the app fresh on my iPhone and need to change the speakers to another destination (from, say, "living room" to "kitchen"), the check mark moves to "kitchen" for a couple of seconds, then back to "living room" (and/or the Apple TV usually). I tap "kitchen again", usually same result. Only after 3 or 4 taps, will it stick to "kitchen" and the music will start.
Not a big problem, just something very annoying.
Any idea?

Am I seriously the only one with this issue? By the way I replaced my old Netgear router with a spanking new Airport Bast Station and the same issue is happening.

Remote App on iPhone 3GS unable to access iTunes library

Hi - I'm using an iPhone 3Gs with the latest version of iTunes 8.2(23). The remote app no longer works (it used to on an older iPhone and an older iTunes).
I've read KB article at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741 and the iPhone and the MacBook have the same router address.
I've re-installed the Remote App and checked the firewall settings on the MBP but still I am unable to connect. I've told iTunes to forget all remotes. I then 'paired' the iPhone with iTunes using the passcode and that worked fine ... until Remote tried to connect to the iTunes library.
Any advice/suggestions would be most welcome.

Rebooting the BT Homehub ADSL router cured the problem

Remote app on iPhone 5S stopped working after iOS8 upgrade

I upgraded my iPhone 5S to iOS8 (and the subsequent updates too). I received the automatic update to the remote app. Since that time the remote app does not work. I have home sharing working on my Apple TV, MAC Pro and a Windows 8.1 PC. These devices are all connected to Home Sharing and it works fine. At this moment I am streaming music from my iTunes library on the Windows 8.1 PC on my Apple TV. A short time ago I was using Airplay with my MAC to watch an internet TV show. So all is well with Home Sharing. On the remote app I sign in to home sharing and it acknowledges that I am connected to home sharing. However, the next screen reads: "Turn On Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using xxxxxx". xxxxxx is replaced with my Apple ID. That's it. That's all I get. Cant get beyond that screen. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. I have logged into Home Sharing each time successfully and I ge the same screen. My Wi-FI is high speed AB and is working fine. Could use some help.

I have a similar issue with some different quirks... I have my PC (Windows 7) running off the wi-fi. My router is an Airport Extreme. I also have an Airport Express in my garage for my outdoor speakers. Both upstairs and downstairs TV's have Apple TV. The Apple TV's and the Airport extreme AND my iPhone 5s are all on the same wi-fi network.
I have the remote app on my iPhone and it always always always accesses either Apple TV without issue. BUT it doesn't usually find the iTunes library on my computer. And once I do get it connected it only holds for a while before losing it again. In order to have the remote app find it again, I have to go to the PC, turn off Home Sharing and then turn it back on again. My remote app then sees it again and I am back in business...for awhile.
I have been through every troubleshooting list on the internet and can't find a resolution to this. iTunes is the latest version, i'm running ios8 on my phone etc etc etc. The whole point of the Airport Express was to be able to access the iTunes library from the back yard. When it is working it works beautifully. When it drops...frustrating.
Anyone else have this situation? It's not that it won't connect...it's just that it only stays connected for short periods of time.

Remote app on iPhone 3GS doesn't work on Win8

I have an iPhone 3GS, not jailbroken, iOS is up-to-date (6.1.3) and it's factory unlocked.
I have a Laptop with Windows 7 and the latest iTunes installed
I have a Windows 8 PC with the latest iTunes installed
I can connect the Remote app on my iPhone with my Windows 7 Laptop (works as it should)
I cannot connect the Remote app on my iPhone with my Windows 8 PC (says "cannot find ." all the time)
All help appreciated!

I see this is a common error, nobody found a solution for this yet please?

Remote app on iphone with Itunes library / Erratic connection problems.

I have been using Remote app on my Iphone to manage Itunes for months with 100% pleasure and 0 trouble.
For a few days, it has some erratic behaviour like having difficulties to connect to my Itunes library.
In such case if I touch the Change Library button on Iphone remote screen, it connects quite instantly...
I have a simple wifi network generated by my adsl box and a single computer.
The remote setting option "stay connected" on Iphone is On.
Generally when I get connected if I quit remote on Iphone and restart it within a minut it will find the library in a jiffy most of times ... but sometimes not.
I disabled firewall : no change.
I scratched all remotes in Itunes and paired the Iphone again : no change.
Does anyone with some idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Jean.

Almost the same issue here. And this only started yesterday.
Initially iTunes would not pair at all, but I went into add/remove programs (Win 7 PC) and ran a repair on Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, and iTunes. I did not remove or reinstall any of these applications.
After this my iPhone remote app would be found by iTunes, the passcode accepted, plus the library showed up. I thought I'd cracked it...
But after a few minutes - usually when the screensaver kicks in on my PC - my iPhone loses connection to my library and WILL NOT reconnect unless I restart iTunes.
I have to say that over the years the remote App is without doubt THE most buggy, inconsistent and erratic piece of software I have ever used. If there was a decent alternative I'd have ditched it a long time ago.
Looking forward to a solution from one of the experts here (not expecting Apple themselves to even respond!).

REMOTE app on iPhone does not display Cover Art

I use the Apple REMOTE App on my iPhone to control my iTunes music library on a Mac. The REMOTE App controls the iTunes playback properly. However, the Cover Art for each song does not display on the "song" screen - showing the song currently playing. Across my iPhone screen (where the Cover Art should appear) are the words containing album of the song). The name of the song and album correctly appear at the top of the screen.
What is interesting is that when I hit the back arrow (left side top on song screen), all of the Cover Art appears in small thumbnails. The Cover Art also appears in other displays (for example, the currently-playing Album) using REMOTE on my iPhone. This means that the cover art is being transmitted to my iPhone - HOWEVER IT DOES NOT DISPLAY ON THE SONG SCREEN.
Can anyone kindly help me resolve this - because I would really like the Cover Art to display properly on the song screen. Thank you. Dale

Nezmo, This is really unbelievable. I have suffered from the issue I described for SEVERAL YEARS. Today, for some reason I decided to make this post on the Apple discussion board. And, today the issue was fixed by Apple. I just downloaded the update to the REMOTE app and the cover art now shows beautifully on my iPhone 6 plus. Thanks. Dale

FiOS Remote App on IPhone

I have been trying to get the FiOS Remote app to work, but it keeps giving me problems with the sign on. I don't think my sign on is the issue.
My signon works for ...
1. My FiOS app - in which I can pull my account information
2. the Verizon mobile website - in which I can login and see all my information
Within the My FiOS app when I try to manage my DVR, it launches the FiOS remote app. This app won't let me sign in. I constantly get the "Sign In Error" User ID or Password is invalid. Please try again."
I know this error is erroneous because of my ability to login everywhere else.
Please advise on what I can do next.

Hi, I know that app requires that you are connected to the wifi in your home and not on the iphone's 3g. If you have verified that you are on the Actiontec WiFI (not a second router's wifi) and that your login is correct at all those sites, then you might need to email the dev from the apple store. It gives you a link to email them there.

Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

Hi,
I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share. So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
Cheers
Kathy

Same trouble here, iPad 2 with latest OS and remote app, iPod with latest OS and app.

Remote app for iPhone won't let me choose Living Room speakers

I got a new Airport Express, and set up worked fine. Only trouble is that I've seen screenshots online where in the Remote app's Settings you can choose which speakers to use. I have this option in iTunes on my Mac, but I don't in Remote. There's only a way to choose or add a library, and a setting for staying connected.
I have tried quitting and restarting iTunes, and rebooting the iPhone.

Touch the album art screen when you start playing music and the speaker options will appear.

Remote app for iPhone not connecting correctly

I use the Remote app to connect to my iTunes library. Everything worked fine until about 6 weeks ago, when the whole thing became intermittent. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes it would not.
I have the remote app on my iPhone 4S running latest version IOS and my wife on her iPhone 3G running whatever version that model is capped at. I also now have an iPad 3. none of them connect properly but all occasionally.
The iTunes library's I try and connect to are on a Mac mini core duo running lion, a MacBook core duo running snow leopard and a MacBook pro running snow leopard. The network is a airport extreme running both a 5Ghz a standard wi-fi. the Mac mini is connected using Ethernet and wake on LAN is enabled. Home sharing is enabled on all devices
The problem is the same connecting any iPhone /iPad to any Mac computer: the mobile device is paired and sees the iTunes library but fails to connect (most of the time: occasionally it works like a dream).
The only time they connect when I want them to, is if the tunes library has been started, by playing a song. Then the app seems to work okay. In the case of the Mac mini this is tricky as I'm running it purely as an iTunes library with no monitor, keyboard or mouse connected. So I have to turn on my MacBook and screen share to the mini, play a song and THEN the remote app connects; but then it stalls and I can't turn the music off unless I screen share in again! It kind of defeats the object of having the app.
I have tried allowing connections of iTunes on the airport. All firewalls have been turned off. I have updated all the software, reset all devices. I have even rolled back to an older version of remote app. Same problem.
It seems that in using only Apple devices to connect to Apples iTunes with Apples Remote app the software is fundamentally flawed.
I'm at a loss on what to next.
Has anyone got a similar experience? And is there a solution?

As is always the case, it isn't until after I post a question about a problem that I find a solution on my own. Turns out the problem was that I was running the beta version of iTunes 10.1 and just needed to update to the official 10.1 release of iTunes. Oops!

HP Connected remote app for iPhone

I don't see the HP Connected Remote app on iTunes. Does HP realize it is not there?

OK... so you bought a HP computer... what is the model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question.
Just so you understand... the "HP Connected Remote app" available on Apple iTunes is only for Apple iPhones. This app needs to installed if, and only if, you want to stream data from your HP computer to your iPhone. You don't download this application from iTunes to install it on your HP Computer.
There is also an Android version available on Google's Play Store for Android devices.
If your HP computer came with Windows 8, it should have come with "HP Connected Remote" already installed. If not, you should be able to download the software HERE.
Please send KUDOs
