HT3819 Must the iTunes App on my PC always be open to hear music through Home Sharing via WiFi on an iPad?

OK, we have successfully set up Home Sharing using a common Apple ID. However, when I close ITunes on my PC my wife can finish listening to the song that has been playing but can't access any more even though they are listed on her iPad. This is not an issue with my iPhone since music is transferred to the device when I sync my Outlook contacts and calendar.

Supplemental questions that I can't find addressed in Apple support documents:
Can my wife SAVE a copy of music from using Home Sharing onto her iPad so that she carry the songs with her? (rather than accessing them live via WiFi with iTunes active on my PC)
Does Home Sharing work in both directions? (i.e. can my wife also share music she may download onto her device with my PC and/or iPhone? (both of which are set up on Home Sharing)

Why isn't the itunes app on my ipod touch anymore?

My iPod doesn't have the iTunes app, but I know I used to have it. Now, I only have it on my iPad.
I don't know why the app isn't present on my iPod, but I do need it there.

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPod has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

HT2731 The iTunes App Store icon has disappeared. How do I get it back?

The icon for the iTunes Apps Store has disappeared from my iPad. How do I get it back?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't remove the App store app, you must hav moved it to a folder somewhere. Swipe the screen to the right until you get to the search screen then do a search for the app.

Can I purchase a iTunes gift certificate to send to an email address via the iTunes app and not via the desktop?

It would be super convenient to be able to purchase the gift certificate via email option from the iPhone using the iTunes app or even the Apple Store app so the recipient receives immediately but I don't see that this is possible. I also can't see my purchase history without logging into the computer. This seems super odd for apple not to provide all options from the iPhone directly so I must be overlooking something. At this time of the year and with the economy as bad as it is, I'm not too keen to send gift cards in the mail!
Thanks much for the help.

I was wondering if that gift card can only be used on the itunes store, meaning I can only buy songs, tv shows, music videos , etc.. ...
That is Correct...

How can this be done?

Forms do nothing by themselves. You'll need a script to process the form data. Ask your host which form to email processing script you can use on your server. Often they will point you to one. If they don't, there are some services or 3rd party scripts you can use to collect data from your site.

You need to sync the app to the iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Is the app compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
Are any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the app on your iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions
Do any apps no sync to the iPod?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Have you successfully synced aps to this iPod from this iTunes library before?

Why would there be a fix? YOU are having the problem. I'm not, no one I know is having the problem. No fix is needed.
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Have you been through any, if not all of these troubleshooting steps yet?

I got the new IOS 7 update (I have an iPhone 5) and I can't get on my iTunes app. Everytime I click the iTunes app it crashes and takes me back to my home screen. I literally am on the app less than a second before it glitches and crashes.

This happened once before, but i fixed it by shutting my phone off and turning it back on. However that doesnt seem to work this time and i would like to buy some songs, except the itunes app keeps crashing Please help!
-thanks:)

Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

Why won't the iTunes app on the iPad and iPhone let me shut off new download email notifications?

I have a few new season passes. Each one came, of course, with email notifications of new episodes. I'm able to turn those notifications off through the iTunes store interface on my laptop. But when I try to shut them off on my iPhone or iPad, the app lets me get all the way to toggling the notification option to "off" and pressing "done" before saying that the iTunes store "cannot process [my] request at this time."
Here's what I've done to try and fix the issue so far:
1. Logged out of, and back into, my account on the iTunes store;
2. Turned my iOS devices off and back on again;
3. Made sure my iOS and iTunes software was completely up to date; and
4. Contacted Apple customer support.
That last option produced the following advice from Apple's representatives:
A. Log out of, and back into, your account on the iTunes store;
B. Turn your iOS devices off and back on again;
C. Update iTunes to the latest version;
D. Update your iPad and iPhone to the latest iOS version;
E. Use another app that does the same thing as iTunes;
F. Uninstall and re-install the iTunes app; and
G. Let us know if the problem persists.
When I let Apple know that (1) my account functions just fine on the full iTunes program, (2) the software on my devices is completely up to date, (3) both iOS devices continued to suffer the same problem after multiple restarts, and (4) options E-F don't appear to be possible without jailbreaking, a representative referred me to Apple's webpages on generic iPad troubleshooting. She also admonished me not to jailbreak my iPhone or iPad because they'd then be jailbroken---and that's bad.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? How did you fix it? Apart from just using the full iTunes program, that is---I don't take my laptop on the road with me when I travel, which can be for weeks at a time, so I'd like to be able to shut these notifications off through the app interface if at all possible.
Thanks very much for your help and suggestions!

How can I get the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2?

I Noticed that I don't have the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2. How do I get it? Cannot find it on App Store.

Because it isn't there. The app is probably in a folder. Use Spotlight search to find it on the home screen, or check Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it restricted.

IPod Touch Newbie: What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?

What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?
All it does is connect to the iTunes store if I'm near a WiFi connection. It appears to be useful only for impulse purchasing of media. So why is it not named "iTunes Store"? It appears to have no other function.
Also, to listen to my iTunes music on iPod Touch I have to click on the Music button...not the iTunes app. What logic is that?
Also, iTunes has synced a movie for me, but I have no clue how to view it on the iPod Touch. It doesn't appear in iTunes on the iPod Touch, and there is no "Movie" button anywhere. What am I missing? I can't find it anywhere.

For purchasing music, downloading podcasts,etc.
