Make sure your iPhone is on the same network as your computer. Remote.app runs through the local network and connects to iTunes through it.

i have only one network. i m sure its the same one

it's probably because the bonjour service is disabled in your computer, to activate it go to start>>run>>services.msc>>Bonjour Services>> right click on it>>properties>>select automatic and click start, now restart itunes and it should work.

@cactus
thx for your help. But im running a mac computer not a windows machine

Try starting the Remote-App on your phone while it is connected to iTunes via USB. That is what helped me. Still I have the issue with the code.

i tried this too but i can see only the iPhone (not as Remote). :-/

Do you have any 3rd party firewall activated (intego, symantec) ?

To make sure Bonjour Service is working, just start iChat and activate the Bonjour Buddy List (Command + 2). If it is disabled iChat will ask you if you want to enable it.

I'm also having a problem on my hackint0sh trying to get remote to see my iPhone. Works fine on my Vista machine. I am not running any 3rd party firewall programs, and I enabled Bounjour thru iChat and still no luck....

Thame thing here. Startet bonjour in iChat but no luck. Also no 3rd Party firewall. Is it perhps router Problem? Do I need to have special port open?

So I think i figured it out. I did what they said to do in this thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1593000&tstart=270 which was just changing the firewall settings, but then i also enabled sharing of my library from within iTunes. Prefs -> Sharing -> Share my Library on my Local Network... I had just reinstalled mac osx86 and forgot to recheck that and once i did it worked for me
