In other respects, my network is rock solid (I'm a long-time software engineer, I KNOW solid, and this is solid!) and I'm happy to wade through log files and work out what's going on. I've waited and waited, I've rebooted networks, I've rebooted the Mac, I've tried both my iPhone and iPad, I simply cannot get it to connect in any way at all. Direct-to-device streaming is the missing part.īut this is killing me. Eventually I gave up, ditched iTunes and went over to Tidal, then Spotify, and now I'm back at Apple Music, cos in all honesty, it sounds better. ![]() And sometimes I'd get lucky and it would all come back. I'd go round the house rebooting iMac, rebooting the WiFi, restarting the iPad, everything. Always impossible to know why, on the particular day I wanted to use it, it would just not connect. It was a much more stable connection from the iMac straight over wireless anyway.Ībout 80% of the time this was fantastic. I could then use Remote to control iTunes from the living room on my iPad, but without tying up my iPad or iPhone streaming. ![]() I 100% agree with your experience - I had this great idea in the past that I'd leave my iMac on and use it to feed iTunes via AirportExpress to my HiFi system in the living room.

I've read numerous posts back over the years in this forum but the closest I can see to a solution involves turning on Home sharing and then connecting to "some other" iTunes installation before connecting back to the main one. Now I can't get it to work at all, even returning to the problem a couple of weeks later.

In this instance I get to enter the 4-digit code on the Mac and it says success, but the iRemote app doesn't do anything and remains on the 4-digit code screen. Disabling Home Sharing on the iTunes Remote, forgetting all remotes in the Music app on the Mac and re-adding.In this instance, the library appears on the iRemote app but when I try to connect it does nothing and some time later comes back with a can't connect to your library error message. Enabling Home Sharing on both Mac and iTunes Remote.Disabling the Ethernet connection for the Mac so it's ONLY on the same WiFi as the phone.I am on the same WiFi network for both devices.
