Can i use home sharing between my computer and my ipad?

can I use home sharing between my computer and my new ipad (3rd generation)  if so, how.
Thanks

You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

    How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries?  We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account.  Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
    Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

    If you are using the same iTunes library (meaning the exact same iTunes folder), it should work fine.

    Hi ashleymartinsmith!
    I have an article for you that may help you understand Home Sharing a little better:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
    Home Sharing in iTunes is designed to let you easily share your iTunes media libraries between up to five computers in your household. You can also use Home Sharing to play your iTunes content on your iOS devices and Apple TV (2nd generation) if they are connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
    The important thing to note here is that all connected devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network for Home Sharing to be functional. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • How can I use home sharing? (main computer)

    Well, I have a Windows PC and almost on my music is in Home Sharing with my sister (her computer is the main computer, I'm pretty sure) . When her computer is closed, the home sharing disapeers.
    Is there anything I can do so that I can always have home sharing or move the music to my music folder? Something like that?
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Thank you!

    First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document:
    iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.

  • Can I use Home Sharing if my Computer is on a different router than my iPhone??

    I am just wondering if my Computer is connected to Router A, and my iPhone on Router B, but they both have the same server, would the Remote App work while using Home Sharing?

    If they're on the same wifi network, you've got a chance ... not 100% certain you'll be able to get it to work, though. The following document mentions possible trouble with multi-router set-ups (In the 4. Check your network connection section):
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    (I'm not sure if the issue with multiple routers is universal, applies in the majority of cases, is common, or is rare.)

  • HT4557 Can I use Home Sharing with only another person's iPad but with out the other person's computer?

    Would like to share music with someone.  Currently the computer registered with the iPad is out of commission.  But since you can pretty much do everything on the iPad another computer was not purchased.  How can I utilize home sharing with out two computers?

    You don't.  Otherwise they would have called it Device sharing. 

  • Can i use home sharing while mixing wired and wireless connections?

    I have an HP Pavilion desktop connected to my wireless router with an Ethernet cable.  My AppleTV is connected wirelessly to the 5GHz band on my simultaneous dual-band wireless-N router.  How do I share photos and music from the HP desktop to the AppleTV using Home Sharing?

    I have a similar problem.
    I have 2 computers (and other ethernet addressable devices (printer etc) upstairs connected into a gigabit switch (d-link DG-2205) - computer A is an old 2002 G4 without wifi, computer B is a 2010 Mac mini wired into the switch. Downstairs, I have Computer C - a 2012 Mac mini connected to the fios router via wifi and there is a 1080p Apple TV connected via wifi.
    Computer A (Wired switch Connection) can only see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
    Computer B (Wired switch Connection) can see both computer A's and computer C's (Wireless router connection) Music library.
    Computer C (Wireless router connection)) can see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
    Apple TV can see computer B and C.
    The problem is that computer A Is the music computer That I want to stream throughout.
    If computer A and B can see each other, and computer C and AppleTV can see computer B, then why can't everyone see computer A ?
    Any response appreciated.
    What version of iTunes is the Computer A running - it may not support Home Sharing.

  • TS2972 is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?

    My wife and I have itunes accounts and want to be able to share music we have each bought on our accounts. We have tried setting up the home sharing on our PC but it doesn't show up on the screen. Can anyone please help?

    "Is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?"
    No. Home sharing is used to connect two running instances of iTunes across a network. When you switch users on the computer all applications running on the other profile are suspended.
    You can however share your respective media folders so that they are visible in either profile and then copy over any content that you want, or you could create a single joint library which you use when either user is logged in.

  • Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

    can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.
