It says to find my library, to look for remote tab in tab bar when in iTunes. There is no such tab.

I'm not sure if you have resolved this but here's what worked for me. The remote gave me a code to use. In itunes on the computer I went to File>Home Sharing> Turn On.

Once it was turned on and I signed in with my apple ID it gave me a screen to input the 4 numbers that the remote gave me.

Hi, there's no remote tab on itunes mac.

All you need to do on your remote app is to add itunes library then enter

Your 4 digit code on your itunes mac under devices of the itunes sidebar

Just click your device name and it will ask you to enter the code, and that should be it.

Hope it helps. God bless!

Fellows I hope this helps. I have two remote libraries, 1 with my macbookpro at home and 1 macpo at the office, both has the same apple ID's and home sharing enabled, I used to connect successfully not until today when i tried to connect my iPad via remote on my macpro, I could only see my macbookpro library from the remote app. So I ticked settings and add iTunes library from remote app and gives me the 4 digit code which no longer applicable in latest version of iTunes. It took me to read all the comments when I decided to just click on again the home sharing in remote app which seems non-sense to do so since i have it both the same apple ID's, anyways I just re-entered my apple ID, finally got it working. Just make sure Remote Home Sharing Settings is ticked green on your iPad.

i still have the same problem, i have three Iphones 3s, 4s and 5 s the first tow mobile, i didn't update to iOS 8 and they are connected to apple tv! while the third Iphone 5s has been updated to iOS 8 and now it doesn't verify apple tv.

I had the same problem.

The remote button showed up among my iTunes devices only when I turned Home Sharing OFF in iTunes.

Go figure!

MacBook Pro Retina running OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks), iTunes 12.01.26, iPhone 5S running iOS 8.0.2

In this version of iTunes, which is currently the most recent (oh how I miss the sidebar), there is no tab bar. I'd never heard of a tab bar. I've been teaching people how to use Macs since OS 4.2. Apple, I love you. You keep it interesting.

Not sure which step(s) made this work for me, but it worked:

1) On the iPhone: Settings, iTunes & App Store, Apple ID: sign out, sign back in, show all Music and Videos

2) On the MacBook: iTunes, File, Home Sharing, turn off, turn on, sign in

3) On the MacBook: iTunes, iTunes Preferences, Sharing tab, check Share my library on my local network, Share entire library (check out the other options on this screen), OK

4) Reboot the phone and the computer.

5) On the iPhone: Remote, and I hope you see your library(ies)

I have a feeling that steps 3 & 4 are the only necessary ones, but what the heck: the solution is (so incredibly often) to turn it off, then turn it back on. When in doubt, reboot.

The tab appears to be for older devices/versions/ On my iPad I closed the remote app and did a hard reset (hold down the top and front buttons until the device restarts), relaunched the app and everything worked fine.

Hi. I've had this problem off and on between my Mac and an iPhone 6 Plus and an iPad 4. This may seem simplistic, but it solved my problems immediately. As it turned out, my iPhone was connected to a 2nd WiFi connection in my home, and I wasn't even aware of this. In order for the Remote app to work, the mobile device and computer with iTunes must be on the same WiFi network, per iTunes Help. Once I changed my iPhone's WiFi connection, it connected automatically -- no 4-digit code required.

Mac running Mavericks

iOS 8.1 on iPhone 6 Plus

iOS 8.1 on iPad 4

Try signing out of home sharing on both your computer and iPhone/ iPad, restarting both iTunes and the Remote App, and signing back in on both devices.

This should allow the programs to re-scout and pick each other up again.

🙂

I have had this issue too. I think Apple's help guide and iOS instructions are very misleading

What's bizarre for me is the app connects just fine on my iPad, which i haven't done the latest OS update, but on my iPhone 5s, which is updated, nothing is happening.

My remote app on iPhone 5s (running iOS 8.2 has disabled itself, and now will not be recognized by any iTunes on any machine. My iPad (iOS previous to 8.2) still recognizes my library. I refuse to update that device as it may be part of the problem.

Yes! Bonjour was running but NOT working. Stopping the process and restarting it allowed the Remote's list to immediately appear in iTunes 12! Thanks!

Worked a treat!! Thanks!

I FINALY FIGURED IT OUT. ITS YOUR FIRE WALL. GO TO YOUR SECURITY SETTINGS AND MAKE SURE THAT ITUNES IS ACCEPTING INCOMING CONNECTIONS
