IPhone – iTunes doesn’t recognize iPhone’s remote app

iphoneitunesmacosremote.appwifi

A bit of info about my configuration

OS X: Mavericks
iOS: 7.1.1
Hardware: iPhone 5s and BacBook Pro (Late 2013) 
They are both on same Wifi network.

Problem

iTunes doesn't recognize iPhone's remote app in any way.

What I tried

  • Reinstalled OS X
  • Reinstalled Remote app on iPhone
  • Reinstalled iOS
  • Resetted Wifi router (There is no problem with router. It worked with same configuration about half year ago)
  • Tried with and without home sharing
  • Deauthorized and reauthorized iTunes
  • Signed out of Apple account and signed in on iTunes
  • Turned off OS X Firewall
  • Reset iTunes configuration
  • Tried to switch WiFi signal channel

Neither iTunes nor iPhone doesn't recognize each other. Any suggestions?

Best Answer

To answer your question. I have the same configuration as you.

OS: Mavericks iOS: 7.1.1. Hardware: iPhone 5s and MBP Late 2013 They are both in same wifi network.

This is what I did:

I selected "Create Network" from the wireless icon in the menu bar. I did not specify a password. I was able to use the iPhone Remote app without failure. Since then, I've reconfigured it with a password and it also works without error.
