HT3819 I can't find home sharing on my ipad? No problem with laptop

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

    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.

  • Apple TV can't find Home Sharing

    Hi,
    I have bought ATV (2.Generation) last week, but have some trouble with my iTunes Library on the MacPro. ATV can't find it, even if its turned on with the correct IDs. But ATV can find my iTunes Library on the Macbook, and I even able to connect via ipHone Remote App to the ATV.
    I've tried many different ways and settings, even set up the original system again on the MacPro, but nothing really worked out fine. After reinstalling, ATV was able to find the library and play from it, but suddenly it is gone again and cannot connect back to it. And the Remote App and the Macbook iTunes cannot connect to the Home Shared Libary from the MacPro.
    Any ideas, what might be the problem? The software firewall is completely turned of, Sharing settings are set.
    It really drives me crazy, I have no idea, what else I can do.

    Your Apple TV won't be able to access your iPad library. The reason that it will connect to Photo Stream is because it is pulling it from your iCloud account, not by connecting to your computer. Here are some things to consider (without knowing more about your issue):
    1. Are the Apple TV & computer with iTunes connected to the same network?
    2. Is iTunes open on the computer?
    3. Do you have Home Sharing setup on the computer and the Apple TV with the same account?

  • HT202213 can't find home sharing icon on my imac

    I dont have the home sharing icon to connect up apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    There is no homesharing icon in iTunes, instead you set up homesharing from the homesharing option in the advanced menu of iTunes.

  • Can't find Home Sharing from 'File' on the menu bar as suggest by Apply Support. Help?

    I am trying to set up Home Sharing. Have followed instructions to the menu bar, "edit' drop down however do not see the 'Home Sharing' option as noted in Apple Support. I am a relatively new to the "Mac" family and would like to know if I am doing something incorrect. Thanks.

    Hi TCL67,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you do not see Home Sharing under Edit or File on the Menu bar. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • 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 I can't find home sharing in iTunes on my ipad

    Anybody out there?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In case you are just looking for the shared content, you'll find it under the 'More' option at the bottom of the screen.

  • HT3819 How can you use Home sharing to play music on an xbox 360 for example thats connected to the same WiFi network?

    My console is running under the same WiFi service as my itunes, iphone, and all the content i have saved in my library. How can i link, perhaps through HomeSharing, my content from my phone or computer to my xbox console?

    You can't.  Homesharing allow to share your iTunes content over Apple's devices.  XBox isn't made by Apple but Microsoft.

  • I can't find home sharing in music on my iPad.  It used to be under "more" but it's not there any longer.  I can see and use it on my iPhone,  just not my iPad.  Any suggestions?

    I just set up iCloud to sync my iPhone and iPad...it worked fine before.

  • Why can't i find Home Sharing on my iPhone 4?

    I want to enable Home Sharing on my iPhone but it isn't listed in my phone to connect to Home Sharing. Also my iPhone is from Verizon...

    Actually modular747 your right i don't have a question.  I was responding to the original poster as to why he can't find home sharing on his iphone.  And you misquote me, I did not call you lying apple employees.  Maybe you should read my posts.  But let me quote myself for you since you won't read,
    "If they are liars about the iPhone 4 on their website they don't mind lying about iOS 5.  Telling a half truth is still a lie."
    And I asked if wjosten was an Apple employee.  If you don't tell the truth, what are you? A liar.  If you murder someone what are you?  A murderer.  So I am just saying if Apple Inc. tells half truths then to me they are still liars.  Thats all.  I did find the link useful though. At the top of it it leads prospective users to believe this statement.
    The world’s most advanced mobile operating system keeps getting better. Download the free iOS 4.3 Software Update and get new features that let you do even more with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The software update is free. It’s easy. And you can download it right now.
    Funny that even at the bottom of the page it doesn't mention a difference between AT&T or Verizon phones.

  • 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

    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.
