Captain Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I stream my music from an Apple Mac Mini, using iTunes and Pure Music. I control the Mini by Apple's Remote App from an iPad. Software is all up to date (latest version). On the Mini is Maverick (OSX 10.9) installed. After the latest updates to Maverick and the Remote App the connection is often broken. I have to start Remote again, select the server and select the music. Ather a while the connection is broken once again. This problem is persistant. Also, recently it occurs that the server does not respond to Remote if I try to pause the music. Does anyone have the same problem? Is this caused by Apple or could it be my system? Link to comment
kennyb123 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 It's been working flawlessly for me. Can you experiment without Pure Music running? The Remote app not responding to pause is exactly why I first dumped Pure Music in favor of Audirvana Plus. Both the Remote app and the Apple IR remote started working reliably and predictably after making that move.

I've had no problems with Mavericks. 2012 MacMini 8G ram -> Audirvana + 3.0 -> Mcintosh MHA 100> Nordost > Audeze LCD X Link to comment
Captain Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thank you for your replies. I will test without running PM first. This is the only non Apple software running while playing the music. No, I don't have a ZyXEL router in my system. So this can't be the cause. I'll keep you informed. Link to comment
Captain Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I have tested running only iTunes and the Apple Remote app. (I have VNC Server running as I use my Mac headless). for a while the Remote app displays the album artwork fine but after a while it crashes. The music keeps on playing fine. No gaps as the Remote app crashes. Then I have to start over again by searching the server etc. So I can rule out Pure Music as being the cause. I have posted my problem on the Apple support forum, but no really helpful reactions. I will have this problem looked into by Apple technicians as coming Saturday a new Apple Store will open here in Haarlem, just one street away. Link to comment
