Remote app won't connect after using it and closing it

Hello,
    I currently have iTunes 11.1.3.8 installed on my computer which runs Windows 7. I am trying to get the remote app to work on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3.
I connect to the Remote App using the remote 4-digit code. Once I do this it works while I have the app opened. But, once I close the app or iTunes I am not able to reconnect and I have to enter the 4-digit code again. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

THANKS!
I read that first article and think that we forgot to turn on Home Sharing on the iPod! I sent the link to them and hope it will solve the problem - will have to wait until they get back to me to see if that worked since they live pretty far from me...but I'm hopeful!
Thanks, again!

  • Remote app won't connect to itunes (Iphone 5 & MBP)

    I currently have a iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro and am trying to connect them using the remote app (the latest version).  Both are running on the same wireless network.  I have gone through the troubleshooting items as found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741. 
    I have tried:
    ---deleting the app & reinstalling
    ---turning on/off home sharing on both the Mac and iPhone
    ---resetting the router
    ---changing the router to WPA2
    ---turning on/off the Mac and iPhone
    When I open the remote app, I can see my itunes library logo and I click on it to connect, but it then takes several seconds and then tells me "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library.  Check your network settings and try again."  I have also tried adding an itunes library with the passcode deal, and that does not work either.  I will type in the CORRECT passcode, but then it tells me its incorrect (what the heck?).  I will do it again, and this time it thinks for quite a while and then still tells me its incorrect.
    This has been super frusterating, and knowledge about these issues seem to be scattered all over these forums.  Has anyone had success overcoming this issue by doing something else that I have not tried?

    I have this same issue. I can connect to my AppleTV fine but not Itunes on my MAC. It has worked for me previously with my Windows PC but I cannot for the life of me get it to connect to Itunes running on my MacBook Air. I am running the latest software on all devices. Both are connected to the same network using an airport express. There has to be something wrong here.

  • Native You Tube app won't connect after 5.0.1 update

    Since updating to 5.0.1, native You Tube app will not connect (error msg: "Cannot connect to You Tube"). Have re-synced, restored, cold rebooted, etc. - to no effect. No Restrictions set in Settings. 3G/WiFi connection make no difference. Can access youtube.com on Safari app. Any other ideas as to what happened to native YT app or what can be done to fix? Thx!

    I am having the same problem. Siri was pretty functional (but not amazing) from the date I first got my iPhone4s in October. But since the latest update she is completely worthless! She cannot do anything, even simple recognition of my Contacts that was previously a breeze. I'll even say "Call John Smith" (for example) and she'll say, "I'm sorry, I cannot find 'John Smith' in your Contacts, but I found these Contacts," and it will then display "John Smith." Are you kidding me?
    It's like having a conversation with my actual girlfriends now. Fail... I've called Apple tech support each of the last 5 nights but each time the wait is HUGE and I hang up after about 10-15 minutes. Seems like a lot of folks are keeping the lines busy - could be because of this issue.

  • Itunes v10.5.2 will not re-open after using it and closing it once on my Windows XP computer.

    After installing the latest version of itunes, v10.5.2, on my Windows XP computer, I find that once I close itunes, it will not re-open until I restart my computer.  The itunes icon remains in my system tray and is unresponsive.  The only way I can use itunes after opening and closing it once is to restart my computer.  I've checked for updates and support guidance on itunes.com to no avail.  I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it did not fix the problem.  I was not having this problem with the previous version of itunes.  Any advice.

    Have you tried the following option also?:
    - Close the frozen itunes using task manager
    - In task manager go to the 'process' tab
    - Find and select 'APSDaemon.exe'
    - Click 'end process' then close the task manager
    - Re-open iTunes.

  • After using FF and closing it will not always reload and requires me to restart my computer, why?

    After running FF and visiting different web sites and then closing down FF it will not restart without a restart of my computer. version 4.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed FF several times to no avail.
    I also have had the problem that when trying to read a complete article on Eurekalert.org I can only do so by opening in another tab rather than just being able to click on it to open.

  • IPhone remote app won't connect to my iTunes library

    -Already seen this question, but for older versions and slightly different problems, so I'm asking it again, sorry
    -running IOS 10.0.2 on iPhone 5, Mac OSX 10.6.8
    -iTunes recognises my device but the option to type the 4 digit code doesn't come up, what do???
    -home sharing doesn't work either :/

    I've had a similar problem for weeks. 4s running 5.1.1 with latest iTunes on Windows 7. Remote asks to Turn on Home Sharing, which is already on. None of the lame troubleshooting suggestions made a difference.

  • Has the IOS update on my Ipod caused the Apple TV Remote App to have connection problems?

    I recently updated the software on my IPod Touch and now the Apple TV Remote App won't connect to the Apple TV.  Home Sharing is turned on for both my computer and Ipod.  ITunes and the IPod have both been updated.  Is there an issue with the new software?

    Did you update the OS on the Apple TV?
    My iOS 7 devices work fine with my update Apple TV3

    Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about  20 mins. Need to turn  off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • Can't get Apple Remote App to stay connected to my ITunes library.

    I recently had my modem and router taken out by lightening.  So I replaced them both with what is supposed to be the latest and greatest.  Simultaneously, Apple had a new version of ITunes, so I updated.  Now I can't get the Apple remote app to stay connected to ITunes.  If I start ITunes on my computer, my IPhone 5 will see and connect to the library, as well as my IPad.  But as soon as my IPhone or IPad goes to sleep and I try to reconnect to the library, it can't connect to the library.  I've never had any connection problems before and not sure what is causing the problem.  I can turn off Home Sharing in ITunes and turn it back on again, or restart ITunes and it works, but as soon as the IPhone or IPad goes to sleep, it won't reconnect again.  Is this a router issue or ITunes Home Sharing issue?  Any input to resolve this will be greatly appreciated..............because it is really annoying not to be able to control music the way I did before!  All products have the latest updates.

    Take it back and exchange it.
    If the remote doesn't work out of the box new then either remote is faulty or AppleTV is faulty (eg IR sensor not located properly in the case).
    Either way one of them isn't working, exchange it.

    You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone

  • IPod remote app can't connect

    Seeing lots of posts along these lines, but nothing with answers that help me, so:
    I am using a new-model iPod touch running iOS 4.2.1 and a 2 ghz Intel Macbook running OSX 10.6.6. Both are connected to the same WiFi network (it's my school's student network), home sharing is on in both my iPod and iTunes library, firewall is off, etc.
    When I open the remote app (version 2.1) on my iPod and select "add a library" it gives me the 4-digit passcode and tells me to input in my Devices menu on iTunes (version 10.1.2), and...there's no iPod detected. At all. Nothing. What's the problem?

    I am on an iPhone 3G on iOS 4.2.1 with the Remote app 2.2? I think connected to my Windows 7 on the latest iTunes. I am experiencing the exact same problem. I have followed all trouble shooting procedures to the letter and no dice! The Remote app just doesn't appear under devices, I need help!

  • How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5

    how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?

    Thanks for the feedback.  This is a custom enterprise application.   So there is not an update yet.   It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable.  So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.

  • When try to connect my iPod touch 4th gen to my house Wifi it won't connect, it used to work fine but now it dosen't work, but it does say that the internet is available, but when I tap on it it just loads. all other devices work fine.

    When try to connect my iPod touch 4th gen to my house Wifi it won't connect, it used to work fine but now it dosen't work, but it does say that the internet is available, but when I tap on it it just loads. all other devices work fine.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.

    Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.  iTunes says "can't allocate a resource"

    I had the same problem after updating to iOS 7 today. I did follow the advice on another site, but additionally rebooted my iMac. Worked after that.
    Follow these steps to reset the Lockdown folder:
    Disconnect all iOS devices from your computer and quit iTunes.
    From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
    Type the following and then press Return:
    /var/db/lockdown.
    The Finder window should display one or more files with long alphanumeric file names.
    In the Finder, choose Edit > Select all. Then, choose File > Move to Trash. Enter an administrator password if prompted.
    Note: Do not delete the Lockdown folder itself. Delete only the files contained inside the Lockdown folder.
    Reconnect your iOS device and open iTunes
    My Additional step: reboot the Mac. Your iPad should give the first indication that it has worked by asking you to "trust this computer" or some such. Agree. Then iTunes should have reopened with your iPad showing and syncing.

  • My apps won't load after updating to iOS4.3.2. What to do?

    My apps won't load after updating to iOS4.3.2. What to do?

    Yes, I tried that (thanks for the suggestion, though!). In my music app, when I click on certain songs, the screen moves to try to start the song, but then it bounces back to the menu screen without playing the song. On many albums, when I click on the first song, a song about halfway through the album will start to play rather than that first song. My other apps seems to be fixed, but not the music function.
