Homesharing from a Computer to iPad 2

Recently bought a new computer and had the iPad for a year. How do I get the music from my computer to be shared to my iPad when some of the music was initially purchased directly from iTunes, but downloaded through file sharing by other friends?

Check the iPad user guide would be a good start.
This is selected under the Photos tab for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes.

  • I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done but when I unplugged it from my computer the ipad has the apple logo and a long hollow oval under the logo and I can't get anything to work.  Any suggestions?

    I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done.  When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it.  Now nothing on the ipad works.  I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

  • Hi, I need help.  yesterday I copied one of my photo albums from my computer to Ipad 6 , using itunes.  The album was successfully copied but my already few existing photo albums are suddenly empty,  The album title is there but no photos inside.

    Hi
    Need your help. Some of my photo albums are showing as  a blank after copying a photo album from my computer to ipad 6 using itunes.  Can anyone help.,  Those albums were my treasure and i do not have any back of those.

    It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
    From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
    <description>...</description>
    tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
    You should really have a language tag, e.g.
    <language>en-us</language>
    (you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
    It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
    <itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
    it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
    You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.

    Hey Pragyant,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your iTunes isn't recognizing that you have your iPad plugged in. If that's that case, I'd check out the following article and the troubleshooting steps within should resolve the issue:

  • How do I download documents from my computer to Ipad?

    How do I download documents
    from my computer to Ipad?

    Apple has the iBooks app for compatibility with pdf flies. If you do not have it on your iPad, you can download it for free. My personal preference for pdf's is the free Adobe Reader app. It has so many more useful features than iBooks, but if all that you want to do is save the pdf's and organize them into collections, iBooks will work fine. So download an app that you can store pdf files in.
    In order to transfer pdf files to the iPad, you can do that via iTunes. If you are using iBooks on the iPad, you have to add the pdf's to your iTunes library via File>Add to Library. Then you can select them to sync to the device by selecting them in the books pane of iTunes when the iPad is connected to your computers iTunes. This explains how to add content to iTunes. It works with pdf files as described in this article.

    If you use the Adobe Reader app, you can use iTunes File Sharing to transfer the files.

    Why does connecting to S/W download fails whether from the computer or iPad?

    Where are you trying to download? My App Store app is working just fine.
    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • TS4036 How Can I re-enable my disabled from my Computer(the Ipad doesn't allow me any access to the Ipad)

    How can I re-enable a disabled Ipad from my computer?

    By not allowing enough time to reset, do you mean you have tried a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider?  If so, are you able to power down just using the power button?  Does it then restart on its own?
    If you cannot get it to reboot, stay powered down, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test it to see what is wrong...that is most likely a hardware issue.

  • Can I transfer music from my computer to ipad?

    Before I buy an iPad, I have some questions. Sorry if I sound dumb, but I've not had a tablet before.
    Can I transfer music from my computer to my ipad? I do not plan to purchase itunes.
    Can I download apps like kindle and nook to get books from my local library and other sources?
    Can I get a pdf reader app so I can download them to my ipad?
    Can I put movies on my ipad from my computer?
    Thanks.

    You can sync music and other content to an iPad via your computer's iTunes (a free download from here) - you don't have to purchase anything in order to use the program. You can buy music from Apple, from other sites and/or copy your own CDs via iTunes, and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes.

    I don't know what country that you are in, but there is a Kindle app available for the iPad in a number of countries (the app is free) which can be linked to your Amazon account so you can download your kindle ebooks into it. There are also Nook and Kobo ereader apps.
    There are also a number of PDF reader apps for the iPad, some of them free like Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and some which are paid-for which are more powerful e.g. GoodReader.
    Films can be purchased from Apple, or there are other sites such as Netflix with their own apps. The iPad natively supports a number of video formats (they are listed on this page).
    There is a manual for the iPad here which has some info on it's built-in apps (plus iBooks which is a free download) : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/

    You can follow this method if you have the recovery cds with you.Use Lenovo's secure data disposal and wipe the entire HDD clean, then use your discs to restore to the default factory settings.

  • Homesharing From One Computer To Another

    (Hopefully this is the correct forum.)
    So I have both computers set on the "Homesharing on" option in iTunes and I also have it set under "sharing" to make it possible to share music across my networs. According to iTunes, both computers are connected to each other. However, there is not the "Sharing" button in the left-hand collumn of the iTunes page anymore. (This went away after I downloaded the new version of iTunes a few days ago.) The "Sharing" button is not present on my other computer either.
    I have gone through all of the help topics throughout the Apple website and on the iTunes help pages, but I have not been able to find anything. Does anyone have ideas on what could is happening and how I can fix it? Please and thank you.

    apps don't show up/cross over via home sharing, yet there is  a way to get from one to another. On second computer open iTunes, click store, log into your account using your apple ID, on right hand side of the iTunes store home page under "quicklinks" click "purchased", it'll bring up a window where it shows everything purchased with that apple ID (i.e. apps, books, tv shows, and music). Click on the "app" tab and on the upper right hand side click either "all" or "not in my library". Find the app (or search for it) and click either the "cloud" icon under the app, OR click "download all" in the lower right. There ya go, that should now have ALL your purchased apps onto the new computer; as long as it under the same apple ID.

  • How do I import pictures from my computer to Ipad?

    The new version of Itunes doesn't show the "pictures" tab!

    Connect your iPad to your computer and select it on the left side.
    Now on the right click at the top on Photos.
    Here you should see "sync Photos from". Select "Choose Folder" and obviously select the folder where your photos are sitting
