Can I set up home sharing from my iPad? Or does it need to be a "real" computer?

I'm trying to set up my new Apple TV on home sharing.  I'm doing it from my iPad.  When I go into iTunes from my iPad, it doesn't give me the "advanced" option.
Do I need to set this up from my PC?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can set up homesharing on your iPad (settings > music), however the library won't display on the Apple TV as it does from itunes on a computer. Use AirPlay from the ipad to play music from it on the Apple TV.

    Can I set up home sharing using my ipad only - my computer is broken?

    I believe the first requirement of home sharing is a computer using the latest version of iTunes http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/getstarted/

    can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

    You can set Home sharing on the iPad by adding your Apple ID in the appropriate area.
    Settings->Music->Home Sharing
    But you still need a computer with iTunes from which to share the library.  You can't share libraries between iDevices.

  • Can't log into Home sharing from an iPhone to computer via wifi

    Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out. I've restarted everything, verified all network connections. No firewall. I used to be able to stream music to my phone, but can't any more. The only possible change (aside from major updates from Apple), was a substantial increase in the size of my library around the same time. But my iPod Touch was still able to sync, as well as a friends iPad. Any ideas?Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out.

  • TS1629 Trying to set up home sharing on my ipad and when I click on the music app I don't have an option to slick ''more". It's just a grey screen that says no music..

    When trying to view shared playlist, or any music for that matter the music app is blank. All it show is no music in the middle of the screen and a play button in the top right corner

    Howdy Togifink,
    I think I found the perfect article for you. Named Troubleshooting Home Sharing it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972.
    1. Set up Home Sharing on all devices
    2. Verify system requirements
    3. Check your Apple ID
    4. Check your network connection
    5. Check Firewall Settings
    6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
    7. Restart your network router
    8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
    Each step in the article is accompanied by screenshots and instructions but this is the basic over view of where the troubleshooting will take you.
    Take care,

  • I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks

    So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
    Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
    Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
    Can someone help me please
    Thanks

    AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • How can i set up mail rules from an iPad?

    I am familiar with using rules to filter email.
    From my Mac at home I acces iCloud.com and have no problems.
    I went away for the long weekend, and brought only my iPad.
    I started receiving spam from a new source and wanted to filter it out.
    From safari, when I go to iCloud I only have three choices, none of them useful.
    I have tried to use different URLs but always get redirected to /ipad_welcome/
    Is there a way to do this?
    Or does the post-PC device still need a PC?

    I think there is not a good solution for it (yet). The best solution is to check if you mailserver provides a spam filter solution. I use Gmail and it provides a filter on the serverside. This means the mail is filtered befor I receive it on my iPad (and iPhone). You can also set up a gmail account as a exchange and push all the filtered folders.
    Cheers

  • I want to set up calendar sharing from my ipad

    I know how to share a calendar from Mac OS X Calendar, but can't find out how to do it from my iPad.
    Any clue?
    Thanks

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

  • HT4352 Lost my remote to my Apple TV and I can not turn on home sharing w/o it.  Does this mean I need to purchase a new apple Tv

    Lost my remote to my Apple TV. Downloaded the remote app to my iPhone but you need to have home sharing turned on the Apple TV to use this. Does this mean I need to purchase a new Apple TV?

    Any code association only applies to 1st gen Apple TV.
    Again, the remote app will need home sharing enabled on the APPLE TV. They also need to be on the same wifi network. The OP has a new network.
