okay... The remote app is not working.
I have installed it on my phone and successfully made it work both on my computer and on the computer in the mac store. So i know the iphone is not the problem. The problem is I had to set up a temporary network on my computer. I want to get the current network configured correctly to work with the iphone remote app.
Here is what is happening:
i open up remote, choose my library, the code comes up for me to enter. but itunes does not find my iphone.
Both the phone and the comp are using a wi-fi network from my router. It is password protected, both have the password installed in them. When i check system prefs on both they are using the same network.
When i went into the apple store, it instantly recognized my iphone and was able to set up the remote there.
On my own computer I can set up a secondary network and it works there. To so that I went to the airport icon on the top right, the pull down menu has "create network" as an option. I created a new network and THAT network used the remote app. But when i restart the computer that network is deleted.
What is configured incorrectly in my main wi-fi network that is not allowing the remote the be recognized?
I know the questions are going to come up:
i have itunes 8
iphone firmware is updated.
both have been reinstalled.
in itunes i do have the "accept remote" button clicked. i tried resetting it but it said it could not remove remotes since none were recognized yet.
I think that covers all the info i have on the problem. I really appreciate everyone's help on here. thanks!
