The remote app can't connect to my iTunes library. Help?

I was able to turn off multicast and this solved the problems of connecting to the iTunes remote and connecting through AirPlay.

I use Verizon Fios and was able to get the instructions from the the Fios forum.

Thanks to everybody!

is this the case for Windows 7 as well as MAC?

Hey Davegj. It is the same situation yes. It actually has nothing to do with your operating system. It's all contained in the router settings which are stand-alone. So if you can get into your router and change the multicast settings, regardless of what computer/device you are using, you should be good to go!

This worked for me, from another user:

I have an Airport Extreme with two networks: A closed home network, and a guest network for guests with guest network priviledges. For whatever reason, my iOS devices will sometimes switch to the guest network, which does not allow for Remote use. I'll troubleshoot the heck out of not being able to see my iTunes library until I eventually stumble onto the fact that I am on the wrong network. Make sure you check that your wireless connection is on the network associated with the iTunes/Home Sharing setup as a part of your troubleshooting.

I have weirder a case: since last update of Remote... my iphone remote works well but my ipad remote does not connect to the same music library located on same iMac using same wifi connection....

go figure that one.

Pierre, check your ipad settings and make sure you are using your closed home network and not a guest network. It was as simple as that for me.

My solution might help you...

Connect your iPad to your computer with your cable. Open itune, when you see your iPad in the device list on the left column, open remote on your iPad. Your library will be there. Then you can unplug everything. Since you have connected with your library once (over the cable) it will be remembered in your remote app and you will be able to use it over wifi.

Hope this will help!
