Set up the iTunes Remote app for Music on Mac

You can use the iTunes Remote app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to control media libraries that are on your Mac and other computers.

Pair iTunes Remote with your media library

Before you can use the iTunes Remote app, you need to pair it with the media library (or libraries) you want to control. Your device and your computer must be on the same wireless network and signed in to the same Apple Account.

  1. Go to the Remote app on your iPhone or iPad.

    You can download the iTunes Remote app for free from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • If it’s your first time using iTunes Remote: Tap Connect Manually.

    • If it’s not your first time using iTunes Remote: Tap Settings, then tap “Add a media library.”

    A 4-digit code appears.

  3. Go to the Music app on your Mac.

    Open Music for me

  4. Click the Remote button below Devices in the sidebar, then enter the 4-digit code.

    Music pairs the library on your computer with the iTunes Remote app on your device.

Pair iTunes Remote with your Home Sharing network

If you have Home Sharing turned on, you can set the iTunes Remote app to pair automatically with any of the media libraries on your Home Sharing network.

  1. Go to the Remote app on your iPhone or iPad.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • If it’s your first time using iTunes Remote: Tap Use Home Sharing.

    • If it’s not your first time using iTunes Remote: Tap Settings, then turn on Home Sharing.

  3. Sign in to your Apple Account.

To disconnect (or unpair) all devices from your media library, click Forget All Remotes in Advanced settings.

The Remote app is also available on Apple Watch. See Use Apple Watch to control music on a Mac or PC.
