Can't play home sharing music on iPad
I have switched on homesharing in iTunes on iMac. (2011 running OSX 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2.2(3)
I have selected the library from the "Shared" option in Music on the iPad. (Air iOS 7.1.1)
(It shows the iPad itself as a shared library - don't know if that is right?)
Now I can see the shared music on the ipad.
But as soon as I try to play anything, it does one of the following:
- shared icon (bottom right) disappears and I have to restart app
- app ends itself (and the shared option has vanished when I go back in.)
I've stopped and started apps on Mac and iPad. Have not used homesharing before, but everything else seems to work fine.
Anyone any ideas please?

HT202213 can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?
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. -
The new iTunes update gives me no option for a "share" tab on the side bar for me to play home shared music. why? please help i need to listen to beyonce!! plzzz
"share tab on the side bar ..."
iTunes has not had a sidebar for over a year. You can see one (as iTunes 10 used to show) by doing View > Show Sidebar from iTunes' menu.
But I'm not sure if that is your issue. You do not need a sidebar to do home sharing. Are you running the current iTunes (11.1.3)? Have you turned on sharing in Preferences? Have you done File > Turn on Home Sharing? -

I cannot find home sharing on my ipad I just got Apple TV and had no problem with my laptop but I cannot connect my ipad
You would need to download the remote app. You wouldn't be home-sharing the iPad, its accessing your iTunes library from your laptop. To access content from your iPad you use airplay

I have an external network hard drive with a shared music folder (WD MyBookLive), which I can access from Home Sharing and play music on my Windows computers. On my new Mac, I can see the drive and the music in Home Sharing but the tracks will not play. All the other authorized computers in my home network show up in Home Sharing and I can play the content. What's the solution?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?
Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner. -
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.
ThanksYou 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. -
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.

TS1702 IO6 broke music home sharing on my IPAD 2
IO6 broke music home sharing on my IPAD 2, it still works on my PC's but my IPAD can no longer find the share
I have had this problem for about a month before iOS 6 was released and restarting the iPad was the only method I've found to make it reaquire the share. See if this temporarilly fixes the problem.
I have also noticed that this problem is not consistent between apps. I was unable to see the music share but I was still able to see the video share for example. -

How can I play my itunes music files on my internet radio? Is there an App for iPad or iMac?
Thanks
ursulaannaThanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

I can't enable Home Sharing in both PC, iPhone 4S and IPad 2. i enabled them but my IPhone couldn't find my iTunes Library in my PC
The iPhone 5 requirements are:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
So, upgrade your MacBook system to Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x Then you can sync both devices.
Cheers, Tom -
