Why is Remote app album view different than iTunes?

I use the Remote app on my iPad to control the streaming of my PC's iTunes music library to my stereo. I like the Album view because I can see most of the album covers. In iTunes 11.1 on my PC, album view displays the albums alphabetically by artist. i.e. all Beatles albums are listed before any Rolling Stones albums. But when viewing the same library on my iPad using the Remote app, the albums are listed alphabetically by album title, not by artist. So each artist's albums are scattered all over. I don't know about you, but when I'm looking for an album to play, I think about artists, not titles of albums. But there doesn't seem to be any way to change the way the Remote app orders albums. Am I missing something? Is there any way to configure the Remote app to display albums in artist order?

Hi go the first page of the Remote, the one which shows your shared libraries.
Click Settings, and then Sort by Artist tab,
Hope that helps!

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow. The fact that the power supply to the computer was accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto no doubt was the cause of this phenom.
Any suggestions as to how to re-sync the rotations back up?

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of the use of theses two keys simultaneously. It occured to me after this post to just trash the whole library which I had just created for this particular group of photos and re-import the photos to a newly re-created library. I still had the camara connected so as it turned out it was fairly easy. Now that I think about it, if this hadn't been a newly created library just for this group of photos it wouldn't have worked so simply, so I guess I discovered another benifit for having multiple libraries.
I'm glad you recomended the apple/alt key combo though as this knowledge no-doubt will come in handy at some time.

Why does Remote App no longer work since upgrading to IOS 6?

Since updating my Touch to IOS 6, I can no longer use the Remote App to connect to my itunes library on my iMac. I have tried both homesharing and "add an itunes library" and both have failed. I have been through all the posted support articles with no success. By the way, I can still use my first generation IPAD to connect with no problems.

I have this problem also,
We have an iPad 2, iPod Touch, iPhone 4,4s and iMac.
The printer is a HP LaserJet CP1525nw and is listed as a compatable AirPrint printer.
The two iPhones and iPad 2 were upgraded to IOS6 last week.
We wanted to print something out today and when selecting printer it came up with "No AirPrint Printers Found".
This happened on the Other iPhone and the iPad as well. However all the other devices that were not upgraded still work.
I have upgraded the firmware on the printer to the latest version, however this has not helped. I have restarted all devices as well as my network router multiple times to no avail.
Apple need to provide a fix as this provlem is evidently as a result of their IOS6 upgrade.

Album View missing in iTunes 8

Why did you remove album view? In favor of GRID view? Can't we have BOTH? Please put it back!...

Yeah but the previous album view was much better
Font size of artist/album and i want some space between the albums
Any way to get it back ?

When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

Remote app on iPad connects to iTunes but then loses connection.

Hi,
Basically, I can get the app on my iPad to connect to iTunes, but if I then start doing something else on my iPad, or my computer goes to sleep, then the remote won't connect again. Even if I wake my macbook and try to connect it again.
If I press 'add an iTunes library' in the remote app, nothing appears on iTunes.
To solve the problem, I have to restart my computer.
I just checked to see if my iPhone connects and it worked straight away. Maybe its a problem with my iPad?
Can anyone suggest anything?

I too have this problem and made it worse. Under Mavericks and iOS7 everything set up very easily and worked beautifully like Apple stuff usually does. Then a couple of weeks ago I took the dive and updated to Yosemite, iTunes 12 and iOS8 and then I would occasionally lose connection with my iTunes library as described by the second poster. Very aggravating. So I made a bigger mistake and deleted the library from my iPad Remote app and whenever I started it up again it would say 'Add a device'. I clicked and a randomly generated 4 digit number appears with the exact instructions: 'To add an iTunes library, open iTunes on your computer and choose Remote from the tab bar'. I went to iTunes and searched EVERYWHERE for this Remote tab bar and could not find it. I then went to iTunes Preferences: Devices and clicked the button 'Forget All Remotes' thinking this may reset something in iTunes and make the Remote tab appear somehow to start from scratch. Wrong! Now there is absolutely no connection between the Remote app on my devices and iTunes on my computer.
Can anyone point me to this Remote tab in iTunes?? If I can find that then I think I should be able to fix this.
Geez, talk about effing up what should be (and was) a very simple app.

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.

Is your phone still signed in with your old iTues ID for iCloud (in Settings>iCloud)?

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.

Remote app unable to connect to iTunes

Hi, I have my iPhone's Remote app 'paired' to my iMac's iTunes but recently, when I try connecting the remote to iTunes it just doesn't connect. There's the message that reads "Connecting to George's iTunes..." and the spinning gear but nothing.
Has this happened to anyone? Did you guys find a solution?
I control my home music this way and when this happens the only way to fix it is to quit iTunes and relaunch it but, obviously, isn't something I want to do (as I don't want to stop the music being played).
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards.
Jorge...

I have exactly the same problem with my Mac Mini running iTunes. Problem only occurs after Mac Mini has been on but inactive for a day or reasonable period of time. To connect using the iPhone Remote App I have to quit iTunes first then it works perfectly.
The only other applications running on the Mac Mini are EyeTv and Drop Copy. If you don't have these then they're not the problem. In Energy Saving preferences sleep is set to never so teh Mac Mini is always on.

The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ian

It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

Remote app on a different subnet with a firewall?

Hi
I am trying to figure out if the Remote app will work across a subnet. I have a 10.x.x.x subnet where the Remote app client (iPhone) sits and the iTunes server lives on 192.x.x.x. A firewall sits in between. I've opened up itunes-server:3689(tcp) and itunes-server:9(udp) from the 10.x subnet because I saw those packets being dropped on the firewall. After I opened up those ports, I then saw broadcasts to 255.255.255.255:9(udp) being dropped which led me to believe this *would not* work as broadcasts typically are subnet-only. Has anyone tried something like this? The Remote app works fine when its on the same 192.x network as the itunes-server, so there's no issues there. I have a captive portal/guest WiFi network (the 10.x) that I also need to use (the iphone), so that's why the setup.
Thx.

Thanks - I obviously missed that in my attempts to RTFM. This is from the link:
>>>> To use Remote, make sure your devices are on the same network,
Guess I need to figure something else out.

Remote app on iPad2 not showing iTunes interface on ATV2 shared library

I have an AppleTV 2 that's sharing an iTunes library via home sharing over Ethernet from a Mac Mini. Running Remote App on my iPhone 5S, I can control that library as expected. Running Remote App on my iPad2, however, I'm unable to see the main iTunes-like interface that lists songs, albums, artists, etc. on the shared library. While I can see the currently playing song at the top of the screen and have access to the Back, Pause, and Forward buttons, the main pane below that only shows the icons for Home Sharing and Using Gestures. Under Home Sharing, where it says "Tap the Apple TV button in the bottom left...," there's not Apple TV button, only "Devices." I can use the gestures interface in Remote App on the iPad2 to control playback, but I never see the main library interface. Any thoughts you have for remedying this would be really appreciated!

Well the response I got to the above post was outstanding!
Shall we put this in the bracket along with "If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
If anyone is wondering, for my party I ended up using my Mac as the server for the iTunes DJ. And I discovered that if more than 5-7 people try to get onto it, it crashes the whole system and the music stops. Glorious.

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!
