Where do I find Remote on the "tab bar" in iTunes in order to punch in my 4 digit code from iPhone (to pair and home share)?

FWIW

You actually don't need a 'code' to have the remote control iTunes on a Mac. As a matter of fact, if on the remote, you are given the 4 digit code, you are already down the wrong path.

It was only after I signed out and then back in to Home Sharing on both iTunes on my computer, and my iPhone, and re-starting both was I able to get this to work.

If all the pieces are in place and working correctly, no code is needed.

There is no remote code to enter.

iTunes (10.0.1 or later)

1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
2. iTunes 11 or newer: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to File > Home Sharing> Turn on Home Sharing.
3. Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Mac or PC is also connected to.
4. Open the Remote app (software version 2.0 or later) on your mobile device.
5. Turn on Home Sharing in the Remote Settings screen. Make sure to sign into the same Home Sharing account you used to sign in to from iTunes on your computer.

This does not work - there is till no where to put in the 4 digit code.

Hi, if you have switched on your 'Home sharing' on both itunes and your device, your device should show up in your itunes side bar and below the list of contents on ur device you will find the remote icon. click it and it will prompt you to enter the passcode. If you can't find this then

Here's what to check for:

• Lunch itunes
• Go to Edit
• Click preferences
• on the General Tab, you'll noticed that 'Shared libraries' isnt checked. that's fine you will fix this.
• Now click on Sharing Tab if u have a message about Bonjour service not running then all you need do is enable Bonjour Service on you computer.

For Windows 8 users:

• Right click 'Computer'
• Click on 'Manage'
• Double click 'Services and applications'
• Double click 'Services'. This will display a list of background services/processes running on ur PC.
• Scroll down to 'Bonjour Service' and right click.
• Click properties. In the pop up box, change the start up type to 'AUTOMATIC'
• click Start
• Apply
• close the box
• restart pc
• lunch itunes
• connect itunes and device to same wifi
• Do the 'Home Sharing' thing again and you will find all as

Sorry I have no idea where Services is located in mac or what it is called.

Thank you.

No luck pairing ipad to imac.

'remotes' is not an option in Itunes 11.4

On clicking devices > ipad Itunes does not prompt to enter a pass code

Ipad > Remote app > settings > home sharing > on ( Remote will automatically find the Itunes libraries ) but does not do that.

Home sharing is on using ipad. Home sharing is on using imac.

But no joy.

Thanks Jeffery

That worked on my PC (XP SP3), iPhone 6 (iOS 8.3)

Emmartinez - These steps worked almost immediately then iTunes showed my device and I entered the 4 digit code. Thanks
