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 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!

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

How can I import comments from shared reviewer who doesn't have acrobat pro?

How can I import comments from shared reviewer who doesn't have acrobat pro? I sent out a shared review, but not all of the reviewers have acrobat pro, they do have acrobat reader 9 and have made comments on the document, but they do not appear when I open the shared review from the workspace. Can I import his comments so that they are apart of the shared review?

I figured it out, so I will share just in case anyone else has this issue...
The reviewer emailed me his comments on the document. I opened it and made a comment. When I went to publish my comment a dialogue box opended asking if I wanted to publish his comments to the shared review for him. Says yes and the reviewers comments are now published and a part of the shared review.

You can't. You can only homeshare over your home network.

Can't import from home shared computer

Okay here's the deal. My mom, who has her computer in the basement, got an iPad. Her computer didn't recognize it or find the driver. She uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes but keeps getting error messages that it didn't install correctly.
A new unit needs to be connected to a computer in order to even turn on so I brought the unit upstairs and got it all set up on my computer. It's working fine. my mom wants all her music and movies from her computer put on the iPad. I turned on home sharing, both computers can view eachothers libraries, but I do not have an import option. I can listen to the songs but can't do anything else with them.
I have Windows Vista and my mom has XP. Could that be the problem? Could it be because she doesn't have iTunes on her computer properly installed? How can we fix this? We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but it still comes up with the error. I will reply with the error message as soon as I can. Thanks!

I will reply with the error message as soon as I can. Thanks!
Good-O! I'll be watching for it.

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?

HT1947 How can I turn on Home Sharing on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote?

I have logged in to iTunes on my PC and enabled Home Sharing, I have then downloaded the Apple TV Remote app on my iphone5 and turned the Home Sharing on there as well.
Now when I turn the app on the only icon that I see to control is the iTunes library. I assume that the last thing that I need to do is to turn on the Home Sharing function on in Apple TV the only problem is that I don't have a remote to control anything. The screen is on I just can't navigate.
Thanks

Thanks so much! My issue is that I followed those same steps already and can't find my advanced settings on my iPad. Any suggestions?

How can I import my old iPhoto library into my new version of iPhoto?

Just purchased new iMac and am trying to import my old iPhoto library, but keep getting Unreadable Files message. I have the library file and see that it shows up as an iPhoto Library under the Kind column.

Now that you're tried to open the correct library once see if you can perfor the following: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPads, iPhones, and Apple TVs can no longer load home sharing library after 2 years

I have been using home sharing for the past few years and streaming my music, movies, and TV shows to my Apple TVs, iPads, and iPhones. A couple weeks ago it stopped working. On all the devices I see the library (Familys Library) but when I go to load it fails to load. The iPads and iPones get to about half of the circle and fails. On the Apple TV I think the message just is "Cannot load Library"
I have tried restarting all of my devices but that has not helped. I changed the account that the home sharing is setup for and that did not help. I rebooted the Windows machine multiple times. I disabled home sharing, rebooted, restarted home sharing, all to no avail. The library system is connected over Etehrnet so I made the system to a different port on the router with no luck. I have also unplugged the router nad plugged it back in, also with no luck.
So, I will try replacing the ethernet cable but I do not see that as being the issue. It seems like something on that computer.
Going through the Programs it looks like iTunes and Quicktime were both updated on 3 June, right around the time this started to occur. I also loaded items for my duaghters Nook, Adobe Digital Editions, so that she can get books. I removed the items that I loaded for the nook and that did nto fix the issue. I would like to downgrade iTunes, but I cannot find an old copy of iTunes plus I do not know if this will destroy the library contents.
My questions would be
1. Can I find an older version of iTunes
2. Can itunes be removed from the computer and reinstalled without the iTunes library getting blown away? I have a lot of moveis and descriptions and information located in the Get Info that would just stink to lose
3. Could this be a corrupt library and is there a way t verify the library?
4. Any other things I can do and check
Thanks for any insight and help
Cheers
Dave

All the cutting and pasting and I forgot the machine information:
OS: Windows 7 x64
Memory: 8G
Current iTunes: 11.0.4
Thanks

How can I import my old iTunes Library to my iTunes on my new MacBook?

Same answer as your post in the iphone forum asking the exact same question.

How can I import my home movies (.dv) into iTunes?

I'm getting frustrated with the lack of information about converting movies with all the recent upgrades. I have many short home movies in a variety of formats (.dv, .mov. Mp4, etc) - how in the world can I get them into iTunes (and ultimately on my iPad) so I can share them? It looks like Quicktime Pro is no more and Quicktime 10 is grayed out under all the share options? I'm at a loss - do I need to go back to the original iMovie files and save as something else??? Thanks much!
Everything I have is the most recent, most up-to-date version you can have. Quicktime, iTunes, OS, iOS, etc - it's ALL the most recent version. Running a iMac G5 and iPad2.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
