How can I access the Home Sharing Library from my iPad?

We have an ipad 2 with ios 7, and an imac with itunes 11.1.3
Just heard about home sharing and want to use this - surprised we haven't heard of it before
home sharing is turned on in itunes (file > home sharing).
home sharing is on for the ipad (settings > music)
They are both connected to the same wifi network (usually our computer doesnt use wifi and is wired, but we turned wifi on just for this)
When I open music in the ipad (even after continually quitting and reopening the app) there is no 'more' button in the bottom right that there is supposed to be.
What is wrong? How do I access the library from the ipad? Help please!

Welcome to the Apple community.
More does more than home sharing, so it's odd that it isn't there, even if home sharing wasn't working for some reason. Are you sure you are in the music app and not the iTunes App.

  • How can i access my home itunes library from an ipad while i'm abroad?

    I've got my ipad 2 with me on holiday abroad and want to access a video that is stored on my laptop back home (it is in iTunes on the laptop but is not a purchased video). I have home sharing turned on on both the ipad and the home account - can i use this to see the video I want to watch? I can get someone at home to turn my laptop on all day if it needs to be on to use home sharing??
    I've got an iPad2 running iOs 8.xx   and the windows 7 laptop at home has itunes version 12.01.26

    Thanks, sounds like I may be stuck - unless you know how to upload a film from iTunes on my laptop onto the Cloud? Every time I've tried in the past it seems I can only upload music photos and documents but not videos?
    Or is there a way to set up a VPN so my iPad thinks it is connected to my home network and therefore enables me to use home sharing whilst abroad?

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't. You can only homeshare over your home network.

    how can i transfer the radio recording files from my Ipad to Computer ?

    I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries,
    Unfortunately, you can only stream content to your iOS devices via home sharing (not sync it).
    I'd have a check through the following user tip instead:

  • How can I access my home security DVR from the internet?

    My Time Capsule (as a router and not a bridge) blocks me from accessing my home security DVR from the internet.  I can access it from other computers connected to my LAN but not from the internet.  I guess it's a firewall setting issue.  I can't add the home security application to the list of firewall allowed incoming connections since it's a Windows app that I cannot install on my Mac.  On the other hand, the app is installed on my old PC but I can't access the Mac firwall settings from the PC and add the security app (If that's the problem).
    My DVR is connected to a Netgear switch which is connected to the Time Capsule which is connected to a Cisco modem provided by Comcast. I thought one of the modem ports had to be opened by Comcast. That was not the issue.  After spending 2 hours on the phone with Comcast going in circles talking to 10 different overseas agents, they concluded the Netgear switch was blocking me from accessing the DVR.  I think they are wrong and that it's a Mac firewall problem.  HELP!!!  Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to solve it?

    Did you forward the required ports in the TIme Capsule? If not it won't work.. it has nothing to do with firewall unless the DVR is plugged into the Mac. If it is plugged into a switch you need to lock the IP of the DVR and find out what ports are required.. usually just port 80, ie html.. but it could be some others.
    Since Apple do not use upnp to open ports.. the TC will have to manually be provided with the ports.. Apple use PMP-NAT that is not used by the rest of the known world.. Just to ensure you stay in the camp.

  • HT1178 How can I access the Time Capsule HD from my PC?

    Hi,
    I bought the Time Capsule because I thought it was a easy way of creating a small home network with a shared HD and printer. The wireless setup was easy but everything else doesn't seem that straight forward. I soon found out that I could not just plug my USB printer. You actually need a WPS printer which was not clear in the product description. Anyhow, just need a new printer.
    The main issue for me is being able to share files between my devices (Apple and non-Apple) as well as share the HD. I cannot find a way of configuring my PC or TC so that I can access the TC HD from my PC. Has anyone been able to configure that?
    Thanks

    You can plug a printer in via USB.. but not all printers work.. nor does airprint . but that has nothing to do with the Apple router.. that is how apple designed iOS.
    What printer do you have?
    Getting USB printer working can be tricky because by its nature you are networking a printer designed for local connection.. not networking.
    To share printers and file sharing load the airport utility for windows into the windows computer.. that includes bonjour for windows which is helpful for sharing of apple network devices.. and there is a disk agent.
    That might get you in without anything else.
    No luck remember windows does not work well with the names apple uses by default.. make sure all names on the TC conform with windows networking.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    In windows explorer address bar type
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where clearly you replace the TCname with actual name or the TCIPaddress with the actual IP address).
    If that still fails... then you have firewall issues.. turn off all firewalls in the PC .. there can be several running.
    And make sure the PC is set to home as location . .not office or public.

  • How can I access mail on my mac from my iPad?

    I have recently converted to imac and ipad mini from Windows and so am still a newcomer to planet apple.  I think I have eventually sorted myself out but with one exception in mail.
    I have transferred my outlook for mac filing system to mail using OLM Converter pro and all seems well except that I want to be able to see use and sync the filing system from my ipad mini as well as the mac.  It seems I need to transfer the filing system on my mac to the server so the ipad can access it - is this right, can it be done and how?
    Any other fixes very welcome please
    many thanks!

    thanks for the reply.  sorry I didn't make it clear regarding the "filing system" - this is just my name for the series of folders I created in Outlook for storing my emails.  Are you able to help with this?

  • How do I access my home wi-fi from my ipad?

    Hi, I'm trying to use my home wi-fi on my ipad, but can't work out how to do it.  I have tried choosing my home network, which has a password, but it says that it's incorrect (but it's not).  I have tried 'Network' in the General settings, but it won't let me change the 'Network' from the mobile provider I have been using.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks Jill

    Try setting up a new home network with a new password. If you are using Mac OS X go to System Preferences/Network and hit the plus sign at the bottom of the left-hand panel.

  • How can I access the driver DLL,s from Matlab or Java?

    I would like to access a DAQpad-6016 from Matlab or Matlab via Java objects or via c-files. Is it any support for that? Is it any DLL-files to download or c-code? \Ake

    Hi Ake!
    I think the 6016 supports NI-DAQmx. If so, I started a thread
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=10165
    (opens in new window) that explains how to import the NI-DAQmx dll into Matlab.
    I'd be happy if it works for your card, too.
