Remote could not find my itunes library

I have try it pairing the remote app with itunes library but without succes i have delete the app few times and start over turning on home sharing in all my devices apple tv itunes and my iphone 4s but still REMOTE could not find the itunes library what else i need to do any help?

I am taking a complete guess on this one, as I am fairly new'ish to OS X.
Firewall switched on at the imac? Would that cause this issue?

Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display... Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

Working fine on my system
If on wifi, try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date
Reboot all components

Why does apple Remote app disconnect from itunes all the time

I have downloaded the apple remote app on my iphone 5 and have successfully attached it to my itunes library via Homeshare.
However, if i leave my phone and it goes into the suspended mode it will not be able to find the itunes library again.
To do so, i have to turn off the HomeSharing facility on itunes, then turn it on again. Then the iphone Remote app will find the itunes library.
Please please please can someone help me as it's doing my brain in?!?!?
I am running the itunes program on a PC.
thanks!!

Remote does not find my Itunes Library

I have 4 different mac and use Remote on my Ipod Touch to work with Itunes. Remote cannot connect to one of them (does not find the library). Settings (firewall, airport, account, permission, network...) on all my mac are similar but Remote does not work only with the MacBook Pro. Should I blame his airport card ? Or what ?

I've also version 4.0 on my Ipod and I've checked the port TCP 3689 and UDP 5353 (as asked by Apple support website), they are well opened. I spent too much time on this...I give up Remote.
Anyway thank you very much for trying to help me.

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?

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?

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.

Why is Mozilla Firefox app not available in iTunes Canadian store (it is available in Us store).

When attempting to download app I am redirected to US store but then told I must have Us account but as a Canadian I cannot set up Us account.

The only app that has a connection to Firefox is "Bookmarks On The Go" based on the discontinued "Firefox Home" app by Mozilla.

TS1741 the remote app keeps forgetting the itunes library

The remote app works once only when connected. Prior to the most recent Remote update, it would always find my library. I now have to go to File, Home Sharing, then turn it off an on again. A bit of a pain. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this apparent fault?

Thanks!! This finally solved my problems (I have a wireless router that came with my Verizon FIOS) as my firewall, antivirus settings, and other settings were not the problem or were in accordance with other threads on this matter. I am now finally able to concurrently access my 4 Airport Express Devices (setup wirelessly and hooked up to home theater system, portable speakers, & stereo system in different rooms) via Itunes from my two networked (ethernet cable) PCs (One running Vista and the other running Windows 7) and my Daughter's Mac (wireless), plus use my IPOD Touches as remotes for two of the PCs (Of course, they are accessing the same wireless network).
In addition to one of the IPOD touches being used as a remote for a PC playing Itunes, I can concurrently use it to play the Music App (for music actually resident on the IPOD) using Airply and directing to the 4th Airport Express.
Each Itunes program on each computer or IPOD Touch is playing it's own Library and different songs. Of course, although I'm doing this concurrently, all deivces are directed to a different Airport Express device. This is all being done using one wireless router with all wired devices on the same segment. Although I have noticed that I have to start one PC first before the other before this all works (don't know why), the MAC never gives a problem.
Note related to this issue, it would be great if I could run multiple instances of iTunes on the same computer using different Music Libraries and directing it to different Airport Express devices in addition to the above.

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!).

HT1947 can the remote app access the same iTunes library while paired from 2 different iPhones

my husband and I want to use the remote app on each of our respective iPhones to access the same iTunes library via AppleTV. is this possible?

how do i do that? it's already working on mine, and he just loaded the remote app on his iphone and set up home sharing with my apple ID. However, when he tries to add my iTunes library, it gives him a code but I can't see his iphone device name so we can't pair his iphone.

Why does the Flex app not looking right?

Hi,
I am making an AIR application. But what ever application that I make in AIR using Flex has grey area at the bottom. The canvas or what can I say, the stage isn't covering the whole area.
   <------------ See here is the grey area
In the design view everything seems fine but there is an empty space below in grey color making my application usless.
This is a serious issuse for me.
Please help.
Thank you.

showStatusBar = false; doesn't change anything. Actually its not status bar, I think. But I don't know what it is.
Creating apps in flash IDE doesn't give this problem.
But here I *have* to use Flex Builder.

Why does my MacBook Pro not find USB hard drive after waking from sleep?

is this a known issue? i have to manually turn off/on the Mac's Airport to re-establish USB HD connection (or Time Machine won't find it either).

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is "iffy" and *+not supported by Apple.+* See [Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Airport.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
It sounds like you're using that disk for other things besides your backups; if so, and if you're going to continue backing-up that way, it really should be partitioned so Time Machine has it's own, exclusive space. See #Q1 in the same link.
Time Machine should find it's partition when OSX wakes up; if it doesn't, try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
